Cummins India Q2 FY27 Highlights
Cummins India reported a mixed set of Q2 consolidated results, with revenue rising modestly but profitability declining sharply on a year-on-year basis.
Revenue increased 4.1% to Rs 3,301 crore from Rs 3,170 crore a year earlier. However, net profit fell 18.5% to Rs 507 crore from Rs 622 crore, while EBITDA declined 27.1% to Rs 506 crore from Rs 695 crore. The company's EBITDA margin contracted significantly to 15.3% from 21.9% in the corresponding quarter last year, indicating pressure on operating profitability despite revenue growth.
