For the third quarter of fiscal 2010-11 (October-December) Maruti Suzuki achieved net sales of INR92,767m, growth of 26.5% year on year.
Net sales in the July-September 2010 quarter were INR89,371m. Net profit during the third quarter was INR5,652m.
The company said the third quarter this year compared to the same period a year ago was marked by pressure on margins primarily due to adverse foreign exchange movement and higher royalty payout. Increase in commodity costs during the quarter also impacted margins.
