• Capacity expansion plans: Maruti Suzuki is commissioning lines at Kharkhoda and Hansalpur to add roughly 250,000 cars to production capacity this year, supported by an estimated record Capex of around ₹14,000 crore.
• Small car demand: Following the GST rate cut to 18%, small car demand has revived, supporting a total order backlog of around 130,000 pending bookings and an expected rebound in the segment's share of overall volume.
• Profitability and margins: Net profit remained flat despite revenue growth due to a more than 2% rise in material costs from elevated commodity prices, alongside mark-to-market accounting impacts on debt investments.
• Alternative fuel roadmap: The company plans to raise CBG usage at its Hansalpur plant from 10% to 50% of gas needs within two years, while taking a measured approach to EV expansion by selling roughly 1,500 eVitaras domestically alongside home charger installations.
