Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., India’s biggest passenger car maker with about 40% market share, for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026 reported a 7% fall year-on-year (YoY) in net profit to ₹3,590 crore on account of a steep hike in commodity prices [metal prices have risen 2%] and mark-to- market losses on the company’s investments in debt instruments, chairman R.C. Bhargava said over a video conference call.

For the quarter, the company’s sales income at ₹50,079 crore grew 29% YoY. During the fourth quarter the company recorded its highest-ever quarterly sales of 6,76,209 units, up 11.8% over the year ago period.
