Eicher Motors delivered a stellar Q4 FY24, with consolidated revenue of ₹4,256 crore (+12% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹729 crore (+21% YoY), driven by record Royal Enfield volumes of 912,000 units for the full year and strong VECV performance. EBITDA margin expanded 200 bps YoY to 26.5%, aided by favorable mix and operating leverage. Royal Enfield's new Himalayan 450 is ramping well at 200+ units/day, and VECV gained market share in heavy-duty trucks (9.2%) and LMD (34.7%). Management remains confident of double-digit mid-weight motorcycle growth and continued CV demand recovery post-elections. Key risk: international macro headwinds could slow export recovery.

Weak macroeconomic conditions in key export markets could slow the recovery of international sales, despite improving retail trends.
