Maruti Suzuki India fell 2.76% to Rs 12,860 even as the company reported record quarterly sales, with profit weighed down by mark-to-market impact.

At the operating level, EBITDA stood at Rs 6,156.9 crore in Q4 FY26, up 27.1% YoY. Operating EBITDA margin came in at 12.3% in Q4 FY26, compared with 12.5% in Q4 FY25, a decline of 20 bps YoY. Margins were impacted by adverse commodity prices and lower non-operating income.

Demand momentum was driven by strong domestic growth in the second half following GST reductions. However, production constraints remained a key challenge, with around 190,000 pending customer orders at the end of the year, including nearly 130,000 units in the small car segment. Dealer inventory remained tight at around 12 days.
Net cash from operating activities stood at Rs 19063.1 crore in FY26, up from Rs 16131.4 crore in FY25, reflecting stronger cash generation.
The board recommended a dividend of Rs 140 per share for FY26 (face value of Rs 5 per share).
