Maruti Suzuki's Capacity Play Masks Margin Squeeze Across Key Auto Players
Maruti Suzuki India recently commissioned its second plant in Kharkhoda, Haryana, and is expected to benefit from this expanded capacity during FY27.
The company saw a 44.6% year-over-year jump in high-margin SUV sales in Q1FY27, with sales of models like Grand Vitara, Invicto, Jimny, and Victoris growing significantly.
This trend is expected to continue going forward, with other four-wheeler companies also announcing price hikes to deal with surging steel and copper prices.
