Hyundai Motor India’s Profit Falls Slightly in Q4, But the Company Stays Confident

Hyundai Motor India has just shared how it performed in the last three months of its financial year — and while the numbers are mostly solid, profits have taken a slight dip.

For the quarter ending March 31, 2025, Hyundai made a net profit of ₹1,614.3 crore. That’s 3.7% less than what it earned during the same time last year, when profits stood at ₹1,677 crore.

Revenue Grows, But Profit Slips

Even though profits dropped a little, Hyundai actually earned a bit more in total revenue this time — ₹17,940 crore, which is about 1.5% more than last year.

So why the lower profit? The company says costs have gone up — things like raw materials, logistics, and competition in the market. All this squeezed Hyundai’s profit margins a bit. Basically, it spent more to make and sell its cars, so it took home slightly less money in the end.

What’s Happening in the Indian Market?

In India, Hyundai is known for cars like the i10, i20, and the Venue. But this time around, demand wasn’t as strong as expected. Fewer people bought these models compared to the previous year. This could be due to various reasons — rising interest rates, more competition, or customers holding off on big purchases.

As a result, domestic sales made up a smaller part of Hyundai’s total business this quarter — about 60% of its overall sales, compared to 65% last year.

Exports Come to the Rescue

One area where Hyundai did well was exports. The company sent more cars abroad this quarter, with export numbers rising by 14%. That helped balance things out a bit.

This international growth is good news for Hyundai because it shows that while the Indian market may be facing a few bumps, people in other countries are still buying their cars in decent numbers.

Company Still Rewarding Shareholders

Even though profits dipped, Hyundai hasn’t forgotten about its investors. The company has announced a final dividend of ₹10 per share for the financial year. This means shareholders will still get rewarded for sticking with the company during a slightly tougher quarter.

Big Plans for the Future

Hyundai isn’t slowing down. The company has some big plans — including launching 26 new cars and models by 2030. That includes electric vehicles too. One exciting launch on the horizon is the electric version of the Creta, one of Hyundai’s most popular SUVs.

They’re also investing in their Pune plant to make more cars faster and improve how efficiently they work behind the scenes.

What’s Next?

Even though this quarter saw a small drop in profit, Hyundai isn’t too worried. The company believes that new models, a stronger focus on electric vehicles, and better production capacity will help it bounce back stronger in the coming months.
