what happened
Indian carmaker Mahindra & Mahindra reported a 12.9% jump in quarterly profit on Thursday. Demand for its high-margin sport utility vehicles helped it absorb the impact of rising raw material prices. Profit after tax for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 came to 51.02 billion rupees ($539.85 million), up from 45.21 billion rupees a year earlier. Revenue rose to 424.77 billion rupees from 334.22 billion rupees. In July the company raised SUV prices by an average of 2.7% and commercial vehicle prices by 2%, in line with peers. Reuters reported that total auto volumes grew 26% over the three months.
why it matters
The results suggest that consumption tax cuts introduced last September are still supporting passenger vehicle demand in India. Higher volumes and price increases let automakers partly offset costlier materials. Investors will also watch Mahindra's electric vehicle unit, which is emerging as a growth driver. Exchange rate: $1 = 94.5075 Indian rupees.
