2-Minute Summary
M&M reported a strong Q1 FY26 with consolidated PAT up 24% YoY to INR4,083 crore and ROE crossing 20.6% for the first time. Auto revenue grew 31% driven by SUV volume growth of 22% and market share expansion to 27.3% (+570bps). Farm tractor volumes rose 10% with market share at 45.2% (+50bps) and PBIT margin of 19.8%. Management maintained SUV growth guidance of mid-to-high teens for FY26, supported by new EV launches and refreshes. Key risks include rising steel prices (up 6% QoQ) and potential urban demand slowdown, though rural sentiment is improving. The EV business is ramping profitably without PLI accrual, with EBITDA positive at INR90 crore for MEAL.
M&M ने पहली तिमाही (अप्रैल-जून 2025) में शानदार नतीजे दिए हैं। कंपनी का कुल मुनाफा पिछले साल की तुलना में 24% बढ़कर 4,083 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। पहली बार कंपनी की कमाई पर रिटर्न (ROE) 20.6% से ऊपर पहुंची। गाड़ियों की बिक्री से आय 31% बढ़ी, क्योंकि SUV की बिक्री 22% बढ़ी और बाजार हिस्सेदारी 27.3% हो गई। ट्रैक्टर की बिक्री 10% बढ़ी और बाजार हिस्सेदारी 45.2% रही। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि SUV की बिक्री इस साल 15-17% बढ़ेगी, खासकर नई इलेक्ट्रिक गाड़ियों से। मुश्किलें: स्टील के दाम 6% बढ़े हैं और शहरों में मांग धीमी हो सकती है, लेकिन गांवों में हालात सुधर रहे हैं। इलेक्ट्रिक गाड़ी कारोबार (MEAL) ने 90 करोड़ रुपये का EBITDA कमाया।
