Maruti Q1 results: What could lead to a profit decline for India's largest carmaker?

Maruti Suzuki is expected to post strong Q1FY27 revenue growth of 31% YoY, driven by robust volumes and better realisations. However, the average estimates of six brokerages point to a 7% decline in net profit as higher commodity costs, increased discounts and lower other income weigh on margins. Investors will closely watch management commentary on demand, pricing and margin outlook.
