Maruti Suzuki Q1FY27 Profit Falls 8% Amid Cost Surge

Maruti Suzuki India is a big car maker in India.

In the first quarter of its 2027 financial year, it made less money than last year, losing 8% of its profit.

This happened because the price of things it needs to build cars went up because of a conflict in West Asia.

Even though it earned more money from selling cars, the higher costs cut into its profit.

The company sold more cars than before – about 29% more – and its share of the market grew to 41%.

It also opened a new factory in Kharkhoda, which helped it sell more cars.

At the end of the quarter, the cars it had ready to sell were only enough for about 13 days of sales.
