Maruti Suzuki reported Q2 FY26 net sales of INR 40,130 crore (+12.8% YoY) and net profit of INR 3,290 crore (+7.5% YoY). Domestic volumes declined 5.1% due to pre-GST cut deferrals, but exports surged 42.2% to 110,487 units. Festive retail sales doubled to 400,000 units (vs 211,000 last year), with small cars growing 30% in October. Management guided for 6% industry growth in H2 and expects to exceed the export target of 400,000 units. The company reiterated its aspiration of 50% market share and 10% EBIT margin, supported by eight new SUV launches by 2030-31. Key risk: sustainability of the small car recovery given deferred sales and festive euphoria.
मारुति सुजुकी ने दूसरी तिमाही में 40,130 करोड़ रुपये की बिक्री की, जो पिछले साल से 12.8% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 3,290 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 7.5% बढ़ा। देश में बिक्री 5.1% घटी क्योंकि लोगों ने जीएसटी कटौती से पहले खरीदारी टाल दी। लेकिन विदेशों में निर्यात 42.2% बढ़कर 1,10,487 गाड़ियां पहुंच गया। त्योहारी सीजन में खुदरा बिक्री दोगुनी होकर 4 लाख गाड़ियां रही, और छोटी कारों की बिक्री अक्टूबर में 30% बढ़ी। कंपनी का कहना है कि दूसरी छमाही में उद्योग 6% बढ़ेगा और वह 4 लाख गाड़ियों के निर्यात लक्ष्य को पार करेगी। 2030-31 तक आठ नई एसयूवी लॉन्च करके 50% बाजार हिस्सेदारी और 10% मुनाफा मार्जिन का लक्ष्य है। खतरा: त्योहारी उत्साह के बाद छोटी कारों की मांग टिकेगी या नहीं।

What is good for India is good for Maruti, and what is good for Maruti is good for India.
We should be exceeding our guidance of 400,000 units this year. In the first half, we've done more than 200,000 units. That gives us some confidence.
Getting to 50% would be probably more difficult than it has ever been in the past. Having said that, we have levers available.
