Hyundai Motor India Records Record Sales Amid Commodity Cost Pressures
What happened
Hyundai Motor India recorded total sales of 219,072 units in Q2 FY27, marking a 15% increase from the previous year. While consolidated revenue rose to ₹20,696.1 crore, consolidated profit after tax declined to ₹1,196.2 crore, and the EBITDA margin narrowed to 9.5% from 13.9%. Hyundai attributed the pressure on profitability to higher commodity costs.
