✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

M&M delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue crossing INR 50,000 crore for the first time, up 26% YoY, and reported PAT up 47% YoY. Auto and farm volumes grew 23% each, with auto margins expanding 90bps and farm margins up 240bps. SUV volume rose 26%, maintaining #1 market share, while LCV share reached 51.9%. The farm segment saw domestic operating profit up 64%, though international impairments dragged. Management highlighted breakthrough performances in Mahindra Finance (operating PAT up 97%), Lifespaces (profits up 5x), and Logistics (first profitable quarter in 11). Guidance remains qualitative: auto demand momentum continues, farm enablers strong, and EV ramp-up on track with 80,000+ units targeted for FY27. Key risk: memory chip shortages could disrupt production across the portfolio.

DROPPED
No further rights issues planned in near future

NEW RISK
Memory chip shortage could disrupt production

Memory chip shortages are driving premiums and pose a supply chain risk across the entire portfolio, not just EVs. Management is mitigating with inventory buildup but acknowledges severity.

NEW RISK
Commodity inflation may pressure margins

Precious metals and other commodities are inflating; hedges cover only part of the exposure. Management has taken a 1% price increase but may need more if inflation persists.

NEW RISK
Farm subsidy-led demand may normalize

Maharashtra's tractor subsidy added ~35,000 units this year; its withdrawal could flatten demand in FY27, though other states may compensate.

NEW RISK
International farm subsidiaries continue to drag

Impairments in Japan and Turkey impacted farm profitability. Restructuring will take time, with trailing costs expected through FY27.

RISK GONE
Nexperia chip supply disruption in Q4

Potential disruption from Nexperia chip supply could impact production in Q4 FY26, though Q3 is largely covered and substitutes are being qualified.

RISK GONE
Precious metal inflation impacting margins

Rising precious metal prices (up 60-80% since Jan) could increase hedging costs and pressure margins if trend continues.

RISK GONE
Uncertainty around CAFE norms and TREM V regulations

Draft CAFE norms propose lower EV credits, and TREM V implementation timeline is under negotiation; both could require higher EV mix or technology investments.

RISK GONE
Dealer cess refund sub judice

The dealer cess refund issue is pending in Supreme Court; if resolved unfavorably, it could impact dealer finances and channel sentiment.
