Hyundai Motor India Ltd on Friday reported a 22.22 per cent decline in consolidated profit after tax to Rs 1,255.63 crore in the March quarter, impacted by higher commodity prices, unfavourable product mix and costs associated with capacity stabilisation. The company had posted a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 1,614.35 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) said in a regulatory filing. Commodity headwinds and capacity stabilisation costs dragged margins, the company said in an investor presentation. Consolidated total revenue from operations stood at Rs 18,916.15 crore, as against Rs 17,940.28 crore in the year-ago period, it added. Total expenses were higher at Rs 17,571.66 crore as compared to Rs 15,974.46 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, HMIL said. Overall vehicle sales in Q4 stood at 2,08,275 units as compared to 1,91,650 units in the year-ago period, up 8.7 per cent, HMIL said in an investor presentation. Domestic sales were up 8.5 per cent at 1,66,578 units in the fourth quarter as against 1,53,550 units in the same period a year ago. Exports were also up 9.4 per cent at 41,697 units, as compared to 38,100 units in the same period a year ago, the company said. The company's board has recommended a dividend of Rs 21 per equity share of face value Rs 10 each for the 2025-26 financial year. For FY26, consolidated PAT was lower at Rs 5,431.52 crore as compared to Rs 5,640.21 crore in FY25. Consolidated total revenue from operations in FY26 was at Rs 70,763.33 crore as compared to Rs 69,192.89 crore in FY25. Total sales in FY26 stood at 7,75,031 units as against 7,62,052 units in FY25, the company said. ''FY26 was a year where we demonstrated our ability to navigate a challenging environment while capitalising on emerging opportunities, supported by GST 2.0 reforms, strategic product interventions, strong export volumes and our continued focus on 'Quality of Growth','' HMIL Managing Director & CEO Tarun Garg said. Looking ahead to FY27, he said, ''We have started the year on a strong footing, with April domestic volumes growing 17 per cent YoY. We expect this positive momentum to continue and, backed by new product launches in high-demand segments and other strategic initiatives, we expect 8-10 per cent volume growth in the domestic market.'' The company's enhanced plant capacity and flexible operations position it to swiftly respond to any further growth opportunities, should they arise during the year, he added. For exports, Garg said, ''We remain watchful of geopolitical uncertainties, however, we are confident of registering 8-10 per cent volume growth, reinforcing our position as the hub for emerging markets.'' To support future growth aspirations, he said the Pune plant capacity will be expanded by another 70,000 units post Phase-II expansion, taking HMIL's ''overall capacity to 1.14 million units by 2030''.
