Maruti Suzuki Latest Updates

Financial Performance Maruti Suzuki reported a standalone net profit of ₹3,591 crore for Q4 FY26, representing a 7% year-on-year (YoY) decline from ₹3,857 crore in the same period last year. This dip occurred despite a robust 28% surge in revenue from operations, which reached ₹52,449 crore. For the full financial year 2026, the company achieved its highest-ever net profit of ₹14,445 crore, a marginal 1% increase over the previous year, while total net sales grew by 20.2% to ₹174,370 crore. Sales and Export Milestone The company recorded its highest-ever quarterly sales volume of 676,209 units in Q4, up 11.8% YoY. Domestic sales for the quarter stood at 538,994 units, while exports hit an all-time high of 137,215 units. For the full fiscal year, Maruti Suzuki achieved record total sales of 2,422,713 units, solidifying its position as India’s top passenger vehicle exporter for the fifth consecutive year, contributing nearly 49% of the country's total car exports. Operational Challenges and Order Book Profitability during the quarter was impacted by higher input costs, particularly a rise in commodity and metal prices, alongside mark-to-market losses on bonds. The company ended the year with a significant backlog of approximately 190,000 pending customer orders, including 130,000 in the small car segment, as production capacity limitations persisted. Dealer inventory remained lean at roughly 12 days of stock. Dividends and Future Capacity The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹140 per equity share for FY2025-26, up from ₹135 in the previous year. To address supply constraints, the company is planning a capital investment of ₹14,000 crore to add a production capacity of 250,000 units across two factories during the current financial year. Additionally, the company has begun exporting its first battery electric vehicle, the e Vitara, to 44 countries.
