Hyundai Motor India’s Q3 profit rises 6.3% to Rs 1,234 crore
Mumbai: Hyundai Motor India Limited on Monday reported a solid performance in the third quarter (Q3) of FY26, with its consolidated net profit rising 6.3 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1,234.4 crore. The growth was supported by steady demand in the domestic market, strong export numbers and higher sales during the festive season, the company said in its stock exchange filing.
Revenue from operations during the quarter increased 8 percent compared to last year to Rs 17,973.5 crore. Operating performance also improved, with EBITDA rising 7.6 percent year-on-year to Rs 2,018.3 crore. The EBITDA margin stood at 11.2 percent, remaining broadly stable compared to the same period last financial year.
The company said domestic demand during the quarter benefited from GST 2.0-related advantages and festive-season momentum.
Wholesale volumes rose 5 per cent sequentially, supported by strong retail sales across key models.
Exports played an important role in overall growth, with export volumes jumping 21 per cent year-on-year in the December quarter.
Exports contributed around 25 per cent to Hyundai Motor India’s total sales during the period.
On the product front, the Creta once again emerged as a key growth driver. The SUV reclaimed its position as India’s best-selling SUV and achieved its highest-ever annual sales of more than 2 lakh units in calendar year 2025.
The newly launched Venue also saw healthy demand, with nearly 80,000 bookings so far. The company said first-time buyers accounted for 48 per cent of the total bookings for the model.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, Hyundai Motor India reported EBITDA of Rs 6,632.5 crore, marking a year-on-year growth of 3.3 per cent.
EBITDA margins expanded to 12.8 per cent despite higher costs related to capacity stabilisation and commodity prices. Net profit for the nine-month period rose to Rs 4,175.9 crore.
Commenting on the results, Managing Director and CEO Tarun Garg said the company delivered healthy growth in volumes, revenue and profitability during the quarter.
He added that an improved sales mix and disciplined cost management helped support margins on a year-to-date basis.
Garg also highlighted strong sales in January 2026 as a positive sign for the rest of the financial year.

Noel Tata part of 3-1 vote against Srinivasan, Singh at Tata edu trust – The Times of India
MUMBAI: Noel Tata has voted against the reappointment of Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh as trustees of Tata Education and Development Trust (TEDT), the largest corpus trust within Tata Trusts, in a move that widens fault lines within one of India’s most powerful philanthropic structures. It marks the first time Noel has made his opposition to the duo unequivocal.The vote, the last of four cast on the matter, added to a verdict that had already been sealed when Mehli Mistry became the first to oppose the duo’s extension, shortly after the trusteeship renewal circular was issued.Under TEDT’s governance rules, reappointments require unanimous consent among trustees – a threshold that had already been foreclosed by Mehli’s vote. Jehangir Mistry subsequently voted against both men as well. Srinivasan and Singh had each voted for the other. The tally stood at 3-1 against each of them.
Noel’s vote signals widening of Tata Trusts rift since ’25
Their tenures in an influential Tata trust that supports projects in India and abroad, formally expired on Sunday, May 10. Noel Tata voting against Srinivasan and Singh significantly curtails influence of both men within wider Tata Trusts ecosystem, even as they remain vice-chairmen of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) and Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) — the two apex trusts that together hold controlling stake in Tata Sons.The rift between Noel and the duo deepened after Srinivasan and Singh publicly backed a listing of Tata Sons, a move Noel opposed. In an email to Tata Trusts CEO, Mehli said “My affidavit in response to the board composition change report for SDTT explains the reasons why I chose to take such a decision.” According to the affidavit, Noel, Srinivasan and Singh had wrongly voted against him at SDTT. He also said that Srinivasan had taken part in the vote even though his term had already ended at SDTT. TEDT, with a corpus of Rs 5,600 crore, has been among the most prominent Indian donors to Ivy League institutions, including Harvard Business School and Cornell University, and owns and operates two cancer hospitals in India while supporting 17 others through grants.Following the board changes, Noel remains chairman and perpetual trustee of TEDT. Mehli continues in his role as perpetual trustee, while Jehangir holds a fixed-term trusteeship. With Srinivasan and Singh’s departure, TEDT now sits at the minimum threshold of three trustees permitted under its deed. An email sent to Noel did not elicit a response. The vote is the latest and most visible expression of a fracture within Tata Trusts that has been widening since late 2025. Established by former Tata Trusts chairman Ratan Tata in 2008, TEDT is perhaps the only trust within Tata Trusts that can support social projects in India and abroad.
NEW DELHI: The Competition Commission has ordered a detailed probe against French spirits major Pernod Ricard and seven other entities for alleged cartelisation in the Indian-made foreign liquor market.The seven entities that have come under the watchdog’s lens are Indo Spirits, Pathway HR Solutions, Universal Distributors, Khao Gali, Bubbly Beverages, Shiv Associates and Organomix Ecosystems.Ordering the investigation, the regulator said it is of prima-facie view that Pernord Ricard’s restrictive conduct with its retailers/wholesalers, purportedly, to induce brand pushing and achieve higher market share in IMFL market in Delhi, falls within the purview of ‘exclusive dealing agreement’ under the Competition Act.

The complaint was filed before the CCI in 2024.CCI’s Director General (DG) will carry out the investigation that will also look into the role of the persons/officers who were responsible for the conduct of the activities of such entities as well as individuals whose consent or connivance was involved during the time of the contraventions.
