Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. reported net income of 35.9 billion rupees for Q4, below analyst expectations of 40.9 billion rupees, while revenue rose to 524.5 billion rupees, surpassing forecasts.
The profit shortfall was attributed to higher costs and ongoing supply constraints, which weighed on the automaker's margins despite stronger-than-expected revenue growth in the March quarter.
Analysts had anticipated a 14% profit increase, but the actual result fell short. Maruti Suzuki's stock has declined 21% this year after a strong performance in 2025, with investors closely monitoring margin trends.
