what happened
According to TradingView, Maruti Suzuki's net profit for the second quarter came in at 2,415 crore rupees, down 26.9% from a year earlier. EBITDA fell 6.3% to 4,763 crore rupees, and its margin narrowed to 9% from 12%.
Meanwhile, the carmaker sold a record 276,120 units in October, up 25% from 220,000 a year earlier. The company credits strong festive-season demand for the jump.
Export logistics are getting harder, the same source says. Shipping disruptions in West Asia are worsening, and alternative routes are under strain. Maruti is looking for new sales channels and is pushing electric vehicle exports, including the e-Vitara, to Europe and Japan.
why it matters
A profit decline alongside rising sales suggests pressure is coming from costs and revenue mix rather than weak demand. For India's auto sector and the Nifty Auto index, it signals that higher volumes are not yet turning into earnings. Expanding into developed markets could partly offset soft domestic demand, but logistics risks remain.
