Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the largest passenger car manufacturer in India, announces a final dividend of ₹135 per share for FY25 following the release of its Q4 results.
Maruti Suzuki India, the largest passenger car maker in India, announced its fourth-quarter (Q4) results for FY25 today, April 25. The company reported strong performance in its latest quarter, showcasing continued growth amidst a competitive automotive market in India. Along with the Q4 results, the company’s board of directors declared a final dividend of ₹135 per share for the financial year 2024-25, which is subject to approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The final dividend for FY25 totals ₹42,444 million (₹135 per share), marking a year-on-year increase from ₹39,300 million (₹125 per share) in FY24. This increase in dividend payout highlights the company’s stable financial position and commitment to returning value to its shareholders. The dividend is based on a nominal value of ₹5 per share, which is consistent with Maruti Suzuki’s long-standing practice of rewarding investors.
At the time of writing, Maruti Suzuki shares were trading at ₹11,790.00 apiece on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), reflecting a 0.93% decline from the previous session. The market’s mixed reaction could stem from a variety of factors, including broader economic conditions and investor sentiment around the auto sector.
The dividend declaration comes after the company’s successful quarter, which saw solid growth in its vehicle sales despite challenges from rising raw material costs and market saturation. Analysts are keenly awaiting Maruti Suzuki’s guidance for the coming quarters, particularly regarding its expansion plans in electric vehicles (EVs), which is becoming a critical focus in India’s automotive market. The dividend raise also indicates Maruti Suzuki’s confidence in its financial outlook, but some market observers are curious about how the company plans to address future challenges.
In its filing, Maruti Suzuki noted that the dividend would be presented for approval during the company’s AGM, which is expected to take place soon. Investors and analysts will be watching closely to gauge the company’s future direction and its strategies for maintaining growth amidst evolving market conditions.
