The domestic passenger vehicle maker reported a 28.2% jump in revenue from operations to ₹52,449 crore in Q4, compared with ₹40,909 crore in the same period last year.
Despite the healthy rise in top line, the company posted a 7% year-on-year decline in net profit to ₹3,591 crore, impacted by elevated raw material and operating costs.
