Hyundai Motor India Q1 profit drops 35% as supplier fire and export slump squeeze margins
Hyundai Motor India reported Q1 net profit of ₹888.62 crore, down 35.1% year on year, after a supplier fire cut production by about 13,900 vehicles and West Asia exports weakened. The carmaker recovered most lost output in July, retained FY27 volume guidance and plans a third Pune shift from October 2026.
Hyundai Motor India’s Q1 profit fell 35.1% as supplier-fire production losses, weaker West Asia exports and higher commodity costs compressed margins. The automaker recovered most lost output in July, retained FY27 guidance, and will add a Pune third shift from October 2026.
Why this matters
The result extends Hyundai India’s recent pattern: it retained FY27 outlook despite Q1 weakness, cited exports and Chennai output pressure, and is preparing Creta-segment SUV and EV launches as Pune capacity ramps.
