Maruti Suzuki Board Meeting and Financial Results Quarter 1 (April-June), FY 2021-22

New Delhi: The Board of Directors of Maruti Suzuki India Limited today approved the financial results for the period April-June, FY 2021-22 (Quarter 1).

The second wave of the pandemic adversely impacted on the Q1 production and sales. While all parameters this quarter were substantially better than Q1 of FY2020-21, a comparison is not meaningful because Q1 last year had a much higher degree of disruption due to the pandemic. Sales in Q1 remain far below the previous high in Q1 of FY2018-19.

Highlights: Quarter 1 (April-June), FY 2021-22

The Company sold a total of 353,614 units during the Quarter. Sales in the domestic market stood at 308,095 units. Exports were at 45,519 units. During the same period previous year (Quarter 1 FY 2020-21), the Company sold a total of 76,599 units including sales of 67,027 units in domestic market and exports of 9,572 units.

For reference, the total sales in Quarter1 FY2018-19 stood at 490,479 units.

During the Quarter 1 FY 2021-22, the Company registered Net Sales of INR 167,987 million compared to Net sales of INR 36,775 million in Quarter 1 FY 2020-21.

The Company made a Net Profit of INR 4,408 million in the Quarter 1 FY 2021-22 compared to a loss of INR 2,494 million in Quarter 1 FY 2020-21

The profit for the Quarter 1 FY 2021-22 was primarily impacted due to lower sale volumes. Commodity prices increased steeply but the company continued to make efforts to reduce costs.
