Business Standard|October 17, 2024
Pune-based two-wheeler major Bajaj Auto on Wednesday reported a 31.4 per cent fall in consolidated profit after tax (PAT) to ₹1,385.44 crore for the second quarter of the financial year 2024-25 (Q2FY25). Its revenue from operations grew 22.2 per cent to ₹13,247.28 crore during the period.

Bajaj Auto Q2 net skids 31%, revenue rises 22%

The decline in PAT can be attributed to the payment of ₹211 crore by the company to cover a one-time impact on Deferred Tax for Investment Income, caused by the removal of indexation and tax rate changes in the Finance Act, 2024.

The revenue from operations grew on the back of strong vehicle sales and spares with a steady exports recovery supported by a favourable sales mix. Both revenue and profit missed consensus estimates.

Sequentially, the revenue from operations grew by 11 per cent whereas the PAT declined by 28.65 per cent. The Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) reached an all-time high of ₹2,653 crore, reflecting a growth rate of 24 per cent year-on-year.
