Excellent Exports

The improved export performance is the main reason for this slight growth. It increased by 37.4% compared to the same quarter last year. The company exported 96,972 vehicles, while domestic sales declined by 4.5% to 430,889 vehicles.

Overseas Sales

These figures show the growing role of foreign markets in addressing the slow domestic demand in India. The Indian passenger car market has been slowing down in recent quarters. Maruti Suzuki's performance is in line with this industry trend.

Reasons for Growth

This growth in revenue can be attributed to models, pricing strategy, and higher exports. Net profit for the quarter was Rs 3,711.7 crore, a slight growth of 1.7% compared to Rs 3,649.9 crore in the first quarter of FY25.
