(Reuters)Summary Analysts expect pressure on the company’s margins due to higher marketing expenses and discounts. After starting the financial year 2025 on a strong note, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd is expected to enter the slow lane with mid-single digit revenue growth and a decline in profitability amid high discounts and slow sales growth when it declares its earnings for the January-March 2025 quarter on Friday. According to the average estimate from four brokerages, revenue growth is expected to be around 7%, while net profits may fall by around 4%. Brokerages remain divided in their estimates for the country’s largest car seller’s profitability. Motilal Oswal predicts a nearly 10% fall in earnings, while Axis Securities pegs the fall in net profit at 0.8%.

Here’s what to expect from auto major “The Ebitda margin is expected to decline by 44 basis points year on year due to higher marketing and advertisement spending, higher discounts partly offset by operating leverage, and increased sales of CNG vehicles,” Axis Securities analysts wrote in a 9 April note. The fall in earnings is far from the 47% growth the Delhi-based automaker posted in the first quarter of the financial year, which was led by cost savings and favourable commodity prices. However, the market situation has changed. In 2025, the company implemented three price hikes totalling more than 4% to offset higher commodity prices. “While the company continuously strives to optimise costs and minimise the impact on its customers, some portion of the increased cost may need to be passed on to the market,” the company said in its price hike announcement in an exchange filing in March. In the January-March period, the company sold about 6.05 lakh vehicles, which was 5% higher than the sales recorded in the previous year. However, domestic sales in March witnessed a marginal decline as the demand for car sales slowed.
