The country's largest carmaker's total revenue from operations, including the sale of products and other operating revenue, jumped 36% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹52,456 crore in Q1 FY27 from ₹38,593 crore in the year-ago period.
Maruti Suzuki’s operating profit, also known as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), slipped 7% YoY to ₹4,312 crore as compared to ₹4,621 crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.

In the reporting quarter, Maruti also launched India’s first flex-fuel car. Maruti Suzuki in June introduced flex-fuel technology in the Wagon R, a brand which, it said, has “long pioneered alternate fuel vehicles in India, including CNG and LPG."
