## Profit Misses Estimate
Maruti Suzuki reported lower-than-expected quarterly profit, as rising input costs and a higher share of small car sales weighed on profitability at India’s largest carmaker.
## Profit Declined 27%
Net income declined 27% to 24.1 billion rupees ($253 million) for the three months ended September, falling short of the 29.29 billion-rupee average of analyst estimates.
## Costs Surged 30%
Total costs jumped 30% to 506 billion rupees, with raw material costs surging 48% from the same quarter last year.
## Key takeaway

Maruti Suzuki reported a 27% drop in quarterly profit to 24.1 billion rupees, missing analyst expectations due to higher input costs and a shift toward smaller vehicles.
