MSIL reported ~9% YoY/5% QoQ lower EBITDA on Kharkhoda plant costs, higher advertising, and lumpy other expenses; margins declined by 113bps QoQ to 10.5%, with underlying margins adjusted for lumpy expenses at ~11.4% (~5% miss vs Consensus).

Maruti Suzuki’s Q4 standalone EBITDA declined 9% y/y to Rs42.6bn, below our estimated Rs49.3bn. Domestic volumes would clock a 5% CAGR over FY25-27 due to higher income levels (income-tax cuts), a rebound in first-time buyers, rural demand, launches and lower finance costs.

Maruti Suzuki (MSIL)’s 4QFY25 margin came in 110bp below our estimate at 10.5%, largely due to the lumpy nature of multiple costs that affected its performance.
