AI · written from filings

Sells new Maruti Suzuki passenger vehicles and provides authorised servicing and spare parts as an authorised dealership group based in New Delhi, with operations also in Bahadurgarh, Una (Himachal Pradesh), and a wholly-owned subsidiary Competent Kashmir Automobiles Private Limited. The business operates in two clearly identified segments: Showroom (new vehicle sales) which generated Rs 577.67 crore in revenue with Rs 13.99 crore in EBIT for FY26, and Service & Spares which generated Rs 42.28 crore in revenue with Rs 2.90 crore in EBIT, with the service line running at meaningfully higher margins than vehicle sales. A True Value used-car division also exists under the executive director's oversight. On a consolidated basis, FY26 revenue was Rs 2,433.6 crore, up 13.78% year-on-year, though consolidated net profit fell 4.35% to Rs 20.56 crore because of higher expenses at the subsidiary level. The largest disclosed cost line is employee cost at 4.4% of revenue, followed by other operating expenses at 2.8% and depreciation at 1.4%; cost of vehicles purchased from the manufacturer is not separately broken out in the facts. The Board recommended a dividend of Re. 1 per share (10%) for FY26.
