Suzuki Motor Company has reported a 19% year-on-year increase in global revenues to JPY 3,419.2 billion (US$ 21.4 billion) in the first half of the current fiscal year (FY27), between April and September 2026. The company reported a 5% rise in its operating profit to JPY 291.6 billion (US$ 1.82 billion), while pre-tax profit rose by 21% to JPY 404.4 billion (US$ 2.53 billion).
The company’s vehicle division increased its revenues by 19% to JPY 3,089.6 billion, thanks to a strong performance in India, while the motorcycle division’s revenues rose by 22% to JPY 255.9 billion. The company’s other operations, including marine engines, generated combined revenues of JPY 73.8 billion in the first half of the year.
The company’s global vehicle sales rose by 20% to 1.824 million units in the first half of FY27, driven by a 35% surge in sales in India to 1.1 million units, while sales in Japan were down slightly to 354,000 units. Sales in Asia, excluding Japan and India, rose by 19% to 116,000 units.
The company said in a statement: “While the impact of rising raw material costs, driven by the prolonged deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, continued to expand, we further strengthened our earnings power across our operations. This was supported by strong sales in India, driven by robust demand, as well as an improved sales mix.”
The company maintained its full-year FY27 financial forecast, with revenues expected to reach JPY 6,900 billion and operating profit expected to reach JPY 540 billion. The company now expects to sell 3.702 million vehicles globally in FY27, up from 3.320 million units in the previous year.
