Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. reports 4% growth in Q4 net profit, plans to invest ₹37,000 crore in new models.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M) reported fourth-quarter consolidated net profit grew 4% YoY to ₹2,754 crore, weighed down by weaker profitability at Tech Mahindra.
Consolidated revenue grew 9% to ₹35,452 crore. Net profit grew 10% in FY24 to ₹11,269 crore and revenue rose 15% to ₹1,39,078 crore.
“It has been an excellent year with most of our businesses delivering high level of performance,” said MD & CEO Anish Shah. “Auto continued its high growth trajectory, farm gained share in a tough market and Mahindra Finance delivered on asset quality. Tech Mahindra was a weak spot, the turnaround has commenced with the new organisation in place,” Mr. Shah added.
