Company aims to boost output in Q4 as electronics supply ‘improving gradually’
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. on Tuesday reported a 47.8% fall in third-quarter consolidated net profit to ₹1,041.8 crore, mainly due to the adverse impact of the ongoing semiconductor shortage on production and sales.
“Production was constrained by a global shortage in the supply of electronic components because of which an estimated 90,000 units could not be produced,” India’s largest carmaker said, adding that there was no lack of demand as the company had more than 2,40,000 pending customer orders at the end of the December quarter.

Insurance penetration and density are often misunderstood and do not reveal how many families are insured or whether they would be financially secure if the main earning member were to die. The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
