Maruti Suzuki Q1 FY27: Revenue Rises 36%, Board Approves Four CBG Projects

Maruti Suzuki India has announced its financial results for the first quarter of FY2026-27, reporting strong growth in sales and revenue despite a decline in net profit. The company also approved four compressed biogas (CBG) manufacturing projects as part of its long-term sustainability strategy.

The automaker attributed its higher sales to the commissioning of its second manufacturing plant at Kharkhoda, which helped meet rising demand across segments.

Sales performance

Maruti Suzuki recorded a 29.3 percent increase in total sales volume during the April-June quarter compared to the same period last year.

Segment-wise performance included:

  • Small cars: Up 34.1 percent
  • SUVs: Up 44.6 percent
  • Exports: Up 28.6 percent

The company also increased its domestic market share by 2.3 percentage points to 41.2 percent.

Despite the higher sales, dealer inventory remained low at around 13 days at the end of the quarter.

Financial performance

Net sales for the quarter rose 36 percent to ₹49,959 crore, compared to ₹36,621 crore in the corresponding quarter of FY2025-26.

However, net profit declined to ₹3,352 crore from ₹3,758 crore a year earlier.

Maruti Suzuki said rising material costs, which worsened during the recent geopolitical conflict, impacted profitability during the quarter.

Board approves CBG projects

Alongside its financial results, Maruti Suzuki’s Board approved the first phase of its compressed biogas (CBG) manufacturing plans.

The company will invest ₹561 crore across four CBG manufacturing projects.

Maruti Suzuki said future expansion of its CBG production network will be evaluated based on the performance and learnings from these initial projects.

Final Take

Maruti Suzuki delivered a strong start to FY2026-27, posting record sales growth across key segments and a substantial jump in revenue. While higher raw material costs weighed on profitability, the approval of four CBG projects signals the company’s continued investment in alternative fuels and cleaner mobility solutions alongside expanding its manufacturing capacity.
