Hyundai Motor India Q2 Results: Margins Beat Estimates Despite Soft Revenue Growth
Hyundai Motor India Ltd. posted its financial results for the September 2025 quarter, showing a mix of muted revenue growth and stronger-than-expected profitability. While the topline came in slightly below market estimates, the company managed to deliver impressive margin expansion, indicating improved operational efficiency and cost control.
Revenue and Volume Performance
The automaker reported revenue of ₹17,461 crore for Q2 FY25, up 1.2% year-on-year. This figure was just below the CNBC-TV18 poll estimate of ₹17,532 crore. The modest revenue growth was largely due to a 1% decline in sales volume compared to the same period last year, reflecting a subdued demand environment in the passenger vehicle segment.
Strong Profitability and Margin Expansion
Despite the soft topline, Hyundai Motor India recorded a healthy 10% year-on-year rise in EBITDA to ₹2,430 crore, marginally higher than the street’s expectation of ₹2,380 crore. The EBITDA margin expanded significantly to 13.9%, outperforming both last year’s 12.8% and the projected 13.6%.
This improvement highlights Hyundai’s success in optimizing its cost structure and maintaining pricing discipline even amid competitive market conditions.
Net Profit Surges
The company’s net profit for the quarter stood at ₹1,572 crore, marking a 14% increase from the previous year. This was again slightly above market expectations of ₹1,518 crore, underscoring a strong bottom-line performance driven by margin gains and stable operational efficiency.
Outlook and Key Focus Areas
Going forward, investors and analysts are keen to hear from Hyundai’s management on several fronts — particularly its strategy for expanding the electric vehicle (EV) portfolio, the demand outlook for the upcoming quarters, and the timelines for new product launches.
Stock Performance and Market Standing
Following the announcement, Hyundai Motor India’s shares recovered from early losses and were trading 1.4% higher at ₹2,390. The company continues to hold the distinction of leading India’s largest IPO till date, valued at ₹27,870 crore.
Overall, Hyundai Motor India’s Q2 results signal a steady operational performance with a promising improvement in profitability, even as revenue growth remained subdued. The upcoming quarters will likely hinge on how the company capitalizes on its EV roadmap and navigates evolving market dynamics in India’s competitive automobile landscape.
