Hyundai Motor India Share Price in Focus; Export Growth at 13%, Revenue Drops YoY in Q1 FY26 Results

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reported its standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The company posted a resilient performance in Q1 FY26, largely driven by export growth and cost discipline, even as domestic growth faced macroeconomic headwinds.

Revenue and Profit Performance

In Q1 FY26, Hyundai’s consolidated revenue stood at ₹1,64,129 million, slightly lower than ₹1,73,442 million recorded in Q1 FY25, reflecting a subdued domestic market environment.

However, EBITDA came in at ₹21,852 million, with an EBITDA margin of 13.3%. Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was ₹13,692 million, compared to ₹14,897 million in the same quarter last year and ₹16,143 million in Q4 FY25.

Export Growth and Rural Focus

Exports saw a notable 13% YoY growth in Q1, helping offset softer domestic sales. Hyundai’s enhanced rural strategy also showed results, with rural contributions rising to 22.6%, indicating effective outreach in non-urban markets. The company appears to be exploring new growth areas, particularly in underpenetrated "white spaces."

Model Milestones and Segment Leadership

Hyundai’s popular SUV, the CRETA, continued its leadership in the segment and celebrated a decade since its launch. Another milestone was achieved with the i10 brand surpassing 3 million cumulative sales in both domestic and export markets, underlining the brand’s enduring popularity.

Hyundai has also seen a rising contribution from CNG variants, now accounting for 15.6% of total sales. This growth has been driven by the successful rollout of dual-cylinder CNG technology and the launch of new variants that cater to fuel-conscious consumers.

Strategic Developments

In line with its scale-up strategy, Hyundai recently commenced engine production at its Pune facility, a move that underscores its long-term manufacturing and localisation plans in India.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Unsoo Kim, Managing Director said, “We continued our stated strategy of “Quality of Growth” in the first quarter of FY 2026 with balance between domestic & exports, market share and profitability. This strategy helped us to sustain strong EBITDA margin of 13.3% during the quarter, despite tough macro-economic environment.”

He further added, “Moving forward, we anticipate gradual recovery in domestic demand sentiments, driven by onset of monsoon & festive season coupled with government policy measures, while on the exports front, we are confident to maintain a positive momentum, in line with our growth commitments.”
