Eicher Motors delivered a strong Q3 FY26, with consolidated revenue of ₹6,114 crore (+23% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹1,557 crore (+30% YoY), driven by robust Royal Enfield volumes of 325,773 units (+21% YoY) and VECV's best-ever Q3 performance. The 350cc segment benefited from GST cuts and festive demand, while the 450cc/650cc recovery is underway. Management announced a ₹958 crore brownfield expansion at Cheyyar to increase capacity from 1.4M to 2M units by FY28, reflecting confidence in sustained demand. International markets remain cautiously optimistic, with tariff clarity improving US/Europe prospects. Risks include commodity cost pressure and slower-than-expected recovery in premium segments.
