The first quarter of the financial year normally sees an uptick in vehicle demand, boosting sales to OEMs along with replacement demand. However, April 2025 began with a tariff issue, followed by a war in May and early monsoons, which dampened market sentiment. OE vehicle sales across categories were negative or flat, except for the farm segment, which was unaffected by these disruptions. Despite such conditions, total income grew 7 per cent year-on-year and 9 per cent over the previous quarter, it added.
The company’s net worth increased to ₹19,000 crore as of June 30, 2025, from ₹17,277 crore a year ago.
