Hyundai India Q4 Net Profit Drops 4% YoY; Announces Rs 21 Dividend Per Share

Hyundai Motor India on Friday reported a 4% decline in its consolidated profit after tax, which stood at Rs 1,614 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The drop was primarily attributed to softer domestic sales during the period. In comparison, the company had posted a PAT of Rs 1,677 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year.

Despite the dip in profit, the company’s revenue from operations saw a modest increase, rising 1.5% year-on-year to Rs 17,940 crore in the March quarter as compared with Rs 17,671 crore in the year-ago period.

The company noted that, despite facing macroeconomic challenges and global uncertainties, it managed to maintain strong performance with export volumes reaching 1.63 lakh units and domestic sales totaling 5.99 lakh units.

Meanwhile, the automaker reported a slight uptick in EBITDA, which rose to Rs 2,533 crore during the quarter. However, its EBITDA margin saw a minor decline, easing to 14.1% in Q4 FY25 from 14.3% in the same quarter last year.

"FY25 business performance demonstrates our ability to navigate the tides by responding quickly to the ever-changing customer aspirations. Launch of products like Creta Electric and Alcazar FL along with seamless product refreshments across segments helped us in maintaining our competitive edge. Hyundai's strong brand presence in key global emerging markets enabled us to endure headwinds and sustain export volumes during the year. The year gone by signifies our resilience in the financial performance by way of sustained revenues & healthy operating margins attributable to improved realisations & effective cost control measures," said Hyundai Motor India CEO and Managing Director Unsoo Kim.

The South Korean carmaker reported domestic sales of 1,53,550 units in the fourth quarter of FY25, slightly lower than the 1,60,317 units sold during the same period last year. However, exports saw a year-on-year rise, growing to 38,100 units from 33,400 units in Q4 FY24.

For the full financial year 2023–24, the company posted a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 5,640 crore, representing a 7% decline from Rs 6,060 crore reported in the previous fiscal. Despite the dip in profit, revenue for the year stood at Rs 69,193 crore, down marginally from Rs 69,829 crore in FY24.

Domestic sales for the year dropped to 5,98,666 units, compared to 6,14,721 units sold in FY24. Export volumes, however, held steady at 1,63,386 units—nearly unchanged from 1,63,155 units a year ago.

Dividend Declaration

Accompanying the financial results, the company’s board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 21 per equity share (face value Rs 10) for FY25. 

Looking ahead, Hyundai announced a capital expenditure plan of Rs 7,000 crore for the current fiscal. The investment will support strategic initiatives aimed at driving sustainable growth over the medium to long term. As part of its product roadmap, the automaker revealed plans to launch 26 new models between FY26 and FY30, six of which will be electric vehicles. 

"Looking ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic on domestic demand outlook in near-term amid prevailing macro-turbulences and weakening customer sentiments. While we expect our FY26 domestic growth to be broadly in line with Industry estimates of low-single digit, we are aiming for 7-8% volume growth in Exports by improved focus and leveraging our strong brand equity and legacy in the key emerging markets," added Kim. 

Following the earnings announcement and strategic outlook, Hyundai’s shares were trading 1.67% higher at Rs 1,867 apiece on the BSE.
