During this quarter, total income grew by Rs 10,656.10 crore from Rs 8,324.29 crore in the same period previous year. The company said that revenue was supported by double-digit volume growth, which covered the sluggish, but improving performance of exports, and cushioned the ongoing domestic upswing.
EBITDA was up by 51% YoY to Rs 19.5bn, while margins moved up by 280 bps YoY to 19%. Stable commodity costs and better realizations were the reasons for increased margins, said Bajaj Auto.
Domestic two-wheeler sales grew 73 percent and 31% Quarter-on-Quarter . The company said that the strong YoY surge was due to strong launches in the >125 ccc segment as well as the premium segments in the domestic markets. The Pulsar 125 NS, CT 125, and Pulsar N series in sport segment led to a good market share win, says the two-wheeler manufacturer. Speaking of the commercial vehicle sales in the domestic market, including three-wheeler auto-rickshaws and mini pick-up vans, got more than doubled.
