Popular Vehicles and Services, a multi-brand auto dealership group (Maruti Suzuki, JLR, Tata Motors, BharatBenz, Ather, Honda, Piaggio), reported Q1 FY26 total income of Rs 1,316 Cr, up 1.3% YoY but down 4.4% QoQ. EBITDA improved to Rs 38.3 Cr (margin 2.9%) from Rs 29.7 Cr in Q4 FY25, but was down 26% YoY due to a prolonged passenger vehicle slowdown. The company posted a loss of Rs 8.8 Cr vs profit of Rs 5.4 Cr YoY, though an improvement from a Rs 13.7 Cr loss in Q4 FY25. Service revenue grew 4.5% YoY, 2-wheeler EV volumes and revenue doubled YoY, and the luxury portfolio grew in both volumes and realizations. Network expansion was announced with 8 new BharatBenz facilities in Punjab (~Rs 12 Cr investment) and new Ather outlets in Bangalore and Chennai. CRISIL reaffirmed A/Stable rating on Rs 468 Cr bank facilities.
Margins recovered sequentially thanks to cost control and discount discipline, but the YoY decline signals ongoing pressure in the core PV segment. The retail investors may view the network expansion into new states and EV brands as a positive growth signal, though weak profitability and continued quarterly losses remain near-term concerns.
