Eicher Motors reported a steady Q2 FY25 with consolidated revenue of INR 4,263 crore (+3.6% YoY) and PAT of INR 1,100 crore (+8.3% YoY), aided by VECV's profit share. Royal Enfield volumes were flat at ~225k units, but retail momentum surged during the festive season, with October recording 100,000+ units—the best-ever monthly sales. The company is pivoting from margin optimization to volume growth, investing in marketing and product launches (Guerrilla 450, Classic 650, Bear 650) while maintaining EBITDA margin at 25.5% (down 90bps YoY due to launch costs). VECV outperformed a shrinking CV industry, growing 6.2% in sales. Guidance points to sustained demand driven by new products and market activation, though international headwinds (OBD2B transition) and competitive pressures remain risks.
ईचर मोटर्स ने दूसरी तिमाही में 4,263 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 3.6% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 1,100 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 8.3% बढ़ा। रॉयल एनफील्ड की बिक्री लगभग 2.25 लाख गाड़ियों पर स्थिर रही, लेकिन त्योहारी सीजन में अक्टूबर में 1 लाख से ज्यादा गाड़ियां बिकीं - अब तक का सबसे अच्छा प्रदर्शन। कंपनी अब मुनाफा बढ़ाने से ज्यादा बिक्री बढ़ाने पर ध्यान दे रही है। इसके लिए नए मॉडल (गुरिल्ला 450, क्लासिक 650, बियर 650) लॉन्च किए और मार्केटिंग पर खर्च बढ़ाया। हालांकि, लॉन्च के खर्च के कारण मुनाफा मार्जिन 25.5% रहा, जो पिछले साल से थोड़ा कम है। वीईसीवी ने ट्रक-बस बाजार में 6.2% बिक्री बढ़ाई। आगे नए प्रोडक्ट से मांग बढ़ने की उम्मीद है, लेकिन अंतरराष्ट्रीय नियमों और प्रतिस्पर्धा से चुनौती रहेगी।
