Maruti Suzuki India said its total domestic sales rose 9.7% to 90,882 units in November 2012 over November 2011. Total export sales jumped 38.4% to 12,318 units in November 2012 over November 2011.
Maruti Suzuki India's net profit declined 5.4% to Rs 227.50 crore on 8.5% growth in net sales to Rs 8070.10 crore in Q2 September 2012 over Q2 September 2011.
The company said the year-on-year decline in net profit was due to lower non-operating income. The growth in net sales was on account of sales of new model 'Ertiga' and enhanced export realizations.
While earnings before interest, depreciation, taxation and amortization (EBITDA) rose 15.4% year-on-year, a 30.4% surge in depreciation resulted in fall in bottom line, Maruti Suzuki India said in a statement. Maruti said it enhanced sales promotion measures for petrol driven cars in Q2 September 2012 in a bid to counter subdued demand for petrol driven cars in India, which adversely impacted profitability.
Maruti said it continues to focus on component localisation and reduction in cost and overheads. The company said that it had a customer wait list of nearly 1.25 lakh units for its diesel vehicles.
