CIE Automotive India Limited (CIEINDIA) showcased solid performance in its Q3 & 9M CY2026 results presentation, highlighting a sales growth of 18% and a consolidated PAT up 17%. The company’s robust growth in the Indian market was driven by a 15.6% increase in light vehicles and a 19.9% rise in two-wheelers. Despite margin pressures due to rising raw material costs from the conflict in West Asia, the company managed to maintain its profitability margins.

India Results

In the Indian segment, sales grew by 18% year-over-year, reaching ₹18,010 million for Q3 CY2026. EBITDA and EBIT both saw a 12% increase, driven by strong demand in light vehicles and two-wheelers. However, margin pressures were evident due to increased costs in raw materials and energy.

Europe Results

The European segment faced a stagnant market, with sales declining by 4% year-over-year to ₹7,575 million for Q3 CY2026. Despite weak sales, margins improved significantly due to restructuring activities from the previous year. For the 9M period, Europe showed a 7% growth in sales to ₹25,679 million, with a notable 41% increase in PAT.

Consolidated Results

On a consolidated basis, sales grew by 11% to ₹25,585 million for Q3 CY2026 and by 12% to ₹76,427 million for 9M CY2026. The company’s performance was bolstered by strong growth in the Indian market and margin recovery in Europe. The consolidated PAT for 9M CY2026 increased by 17% to ₹7,287 million.

As CIE Automotive India Limited continues to navigate through market challenges, its strategic focus on growth and margin recovery positions it well for future opportunities in the automotive sector.
