The company said rising commodity prices, driven by global uncertainties, increased input costs during the quarter. However, the impact was partly offset through calibrated price hikes, cost optimisation measures and higher production volumes.

The company's international business continued to gather momentum, with sales increasing 33% to 0.47 million units during the quarter.
Electric mobility remained a key growth driver, with electric two-wheeler sales soaring 86% YoY to 129,940 units from 70,060 units a year earlier. TVS Motor said it has now crossed the milestone of one million EV customers.
The three-wheeler business also delivered a strong performance, with sales rising 48% to 66,697 units, reflecting healthy demand across domestic and export markets.
