Bajaj Auto Reports ₹10,224 Crore FY25 Profit Before Tax Amid Mixed Global Factors
Bajaj Auto closed FY25 with ₹52,469 crore in total income and a profit before tax of ₹10,224 crore, driven by strong automotive performance, despite associate investment losses and a shift in tax provisions.
Bajaj Auto Limited announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2025. The company reported a profit before tax of ₹2,484 crore for Q4 FY25 and ₹10,224 crore for the full year, marginally higher than the ₹10,040 crore recorded in FY24.
The total income for FY25 stood at ₹52,469 crore, reflecting an increase from ₹46,306 crore in the previous fiscal. Revenue from operations for the year reached ₹50,995 crore, with the automotive segment contributing ₹49,982 crore. Net profit after tax for the year amounted to ₹7,325 crore, compared to ₹7,708 crore in FY24.
During the quarter, Bajaj Auto recognized a ₹335 crore net loss from its investment in associate Pierer Bajaj AG, including an impairment loss related to KTM AG's restructuring. This impacted the quarter’s performance despite a strong operational showing.
The company also recorded a one-time deferred tax provision of ₹211 crore due to changes in tax treatment on debt mutual funds, which impacted FY25’s post-tax results.
Cash and cash equivalents rose to ₹2,332 crore, up from ₹560 crore last year. Despite a negative cash flow from operations due to tax outflows and loan expansions, the company closed the year with healthy liquidity.
The Board recommended a dividend of ₹210 per equity share (2100%), subject to shareholder approval.
