Eicher Motors Q1 net rises 9% to Rs 1,205 cr on record Royal Enfield sales

Eicher Motors reported a 9.4 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,205 crore for the first quarter of FY2025–26, compared to Rs 1,101 crore in the same period last year. The growth was driven by record revenue and robust vehicle sales by both Royal Enfield and VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV).
The company posted its best-ever Q1 revenue from operations at Rs 5,042 crore, up 14.8 per cent from Rs 4,393 crore in the year-ago quarter. EBITDA stood at Rs 1,203 crore, up 3.2 per cent from Rs 1,165 crore.
Royal Enfield sold 261,326 motorcycles during the quarter, a 14.7 per cent year-on-year increase from 227,736 units in Q1 FY2024–25. Managing Director of Eicher Motors and CEO of Royal Enfield, B Govindarajan, said the brand sustained its growth momentum through product innovation and a continued focus on immersive riding experiences.
'The refreshed Hunter 350 continues to be a key marker of growth for us, both in terms of volumes and community engagement,' Govindarajan noted. He also highlighted the expansion in the SAARC region and the launch of the locally assembled Classic 350 in Nepal as part of the company's global ambition.
VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), a joint venture of Eicher Motors, posted revenue of Rs 5,671 crore in Q1 FY26, a rise of 11.9 per cent from Rs 5,070 crore a year ago. EBITDA surged 32.6 per cent to Rs 511 crore from Rs 385 crore. VECV sold 21,610 vehicles in the quarter, up 9.7 per cent year-on-year from 19,702 units.
Vinod Aggarwal, managing director and CEO of VECV and vice-chairman of Eicher Motors, said VECV delivered its best-ever Q1 performance. Market share rose to 18.7 per cent from 17.3 per cent a year earlier, driven by 34.5 per cent share in light and medium-duty (LMD) trucks and a strong 14.8 per cent volume growth in buses. The bus segment's market share rose to 21.5 per cent.
While VECV's revenue and EBITDA are not included in Eicher Motors' consolidated figures, the company's share of profits from the joint venture is accounted for as a single line item in the consolidated profit after tax.
The strong performance of both Royal Enfield and VECV reinforces Eicher Motors' continued growth trajectory across its core segments.

240 diesel-buses to be fuelled by CNG, MTC puts pedal to metal to save cost

CHENNAI: Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) will convert 240 of its diesel-run buses into compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles as part of the transport department's initiative to convert 1,000 buses into CNG vehicles. Of these, 120 will be assigned to the Ambattur depot, while the remaining are designated for the upcoming Varatharajapuram depot near Mudichur along Outer Ring Road, which is yet to be constructed. Both depots will operate exclusively with CNG-powered buses. To support this transition, MTC has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with two city gas distribution companies -- Think Gas and Torrent Gas. Think Gas will develop the necessary CNG infrastructure at the Varatharajapuram depot, while Torrent Gas will handle CNG supply at the Ambattur depot. Each company is also responsible for establishing refuelling facilities within the respective depots. T Prabhushankar, Managing Director of MTC, told TNIE that under the MoUs, the price of CNG will be fixed at a 6% discount on the diesel landing cost. 'For example, if diesel is priced at Rs 90.65 per litre, the corresponding landing cost would be Rs 85.20. This figure will serve as the base rate for purchasing CNG for the first six years of the 15-year agreement. As a result, MTC will be able to procure CNG at a rate lower than the retail market price,' he explained. The CNG refuelling stations will include two segments: one exclusively for MTC's use and the other as a retail station for highway and road users. MTC will earn rental income from leasing land to the gas suppliers. Tenders for the construction of the Varatharajapuram depot are expected to be issued soon, Prabhushankar added.
