Auto and Farm maintain market leadership in key segments with 27 per cent revenue growth and profits up 25 per cent in FY2026, M&M said.

The company’s SUV revenue market share increased 260 basis points to 25.3 per cent, while tractor segment market share improved 30 basis point to 43.6 per cent in FY2026.

“FY26 has been a defining year marked by strong execution and breakthrough performance across several Group companies, despite geopolitical headwinds & several disruptions through the year.
