New Delhi: Auto major Maruti Suzuki India on Friday said its consolidated net profit declined by 1 per cent year-on-year to Rs 3,911 crore in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, on account of higher expenses.

The company said its sales stood at 6,04,635 units in the January-March period, the highest ever in any quarter.

For the full year ended March 31, 2025, the maker of models like Swift and Grand Vitara reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 14,500 crore, up 7.5 per cent, as compared with Rs 13,488 crore in 2023-24 fiscal.

MSI said it recorded its highest ever annual total sales and exports in FY25.
The company continued to be the top exporter for the fourth consecutive year, now contributing nearly 43 per cent of total passenger vehicle exports from India.
It, however, noted that domestic market growth was quite muted in the last financial year.
“For the company, a modest domestic sales growth of 2.7 per cent was compensated by a healthy 17.5 per cent export growth, leading to an aggregate growth of 4.6 per cent for the year,” MSI said.
