Maruti Suzuki’s second-quarter profit falls 27% year-on-year, even as revenue grows, according to multiple reports. The company posts a lower margin outcome as higher costs offset demand that remains supported by the festive season and stronger sales momentum.
Across outlets, the direction is consistent: revenue from operations increases year-on-year while expenses rise faster, leading to a profit decline. Business Line highlights the role of rising raw material costs and expenses alongside firm demand for compact cars. Free Press Journal and NDTV provide figures, saying net profit drops to around ₹2,415 crore and revenue rises to about ₹53,340 crore. Bloomberg adds that profitability comes under pressure not only from input costs but also from the mix, including a higher share of small car sales.
Some differences appear in emphasis. Bloomberg frames the story as a miss versus analysts’ expectations, while other outlets focus more directly on cost pressures and the sales environment.
