M&M delivered a strong FY24 with standalone PAT up 48% YoY (64% excluding one-offs) and consolidated PAT up 25%, driven by auto (PAT up 2.5x to INR 4,700 crore) and resilient farm margins (core tractor margin 17.7%). Auto revenue grew 36% with SUV market leadership and LCV market share at 49%+. The XUV 3XO launch saw 50,000 bookings in 60 minutes, and management guided for mid-to-high teen volume growth in FY25. Farm sector is expected to grow ~5% in FY25 with favorable monsoons. Key risks include potential EV adoption slowdown and competitive pressure in last-mile mobility. Management reiterated 15-20% EPS growth and 18% ROE targets, with a INR 27,000 crore auto capex plan (including INR 12,000 crore for EVs) and INR 5,000 crore for farm over three years.
