Bajaj Auto Q4 Results: Revenue up 30% YoY, dividend declared; 5 key highlights (2024)

Bajaj Auto Q4 Results: Bajaj Auto announced its January-March quarter results for fiscal 2023-24 (Q4FY24), reporting a rise of 18 per cent in consolidated net profit at 2,011.43 crore. Bajaj Auto is the first among its two-wheeler maker peers to report its March-quarter results. The company's earnings in the quarter-under-review was led by strong domestic demand for its motorcycles and a recovery in exports of the two-wheeler segment.

“The consistent growth across all quarters reflected the resilient business model, where a strong domestic performance more than made up for muted exports which continued to be impacted by the challenging context in overseas markets," said Bajaj Auto in a regulatory filing to the stock exchanges.
