Shares of Hyundai Motor India Ltd. (NSE: HYUNDAI) rose after the company reported higher revenue and profit for the third quarter, supported by stronger domestic demand and export growth.
Quarterly Financial Performance
The automaker reported consolidated revenue of INR179.7 billion for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025, up 8.0% from a year earlier, according to unaudited results approved by its board. Net profit rose 6.3% to INR12.34 billion, while EBITDA increased 7.6% to INR20.18 billion.
The EBITDA margin stood at 11.2%, broadly stable compared with the same period last year. The company said margins were affected by costs linked to capacity stabilization and commodity prices.
On a sequential basis, revenue rose from INR174.6 billion in the previous quarter, while profit declined from INR15.72 billion, reflecting lower quarter-on-quarter margins.
Nine-Month Performance
For the nine months ended December, Hyundai Motor India posted revenue of INR518.5 billion, up 1.2% year-on-year.
Net profit rose 3.7% to INR41.76 billion, while EBITDA increased 3.3% to INR66.33 billion. The nine-month EBITDA margin expanded to 12.8% from 12.5% a year earlier.
The company said margin improvement was supported by better sales mix and cost control measures despite ongoing input cost pressures.
