Mahindras' Q4 PAT up 20% to Rs725 crore

Homegrown auto major Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) on Tuesday reported a 19.93 per cent increase in its standalone profit-after-tax (PAT) at Rs 725.16 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2017.
The company had posted a PAT of Rs 604.63 crore during the same period a year ago. Its total income from operations during the fourth quarter rose to Rs 12,319.64 crore, up 4.04 per cent from Rs 11,840.47 crore a year earlier, M&M said in a regulatory filing.

The company's vehicle sales remained flat at 1,30,778 units during the fourth quarter. It sold 46,583 tractor units during the period under review, up 13.3 per cent from the same period a year ago. For the entire fiscal 2016-17, the company posted a standalone net profit of Rs 3,955.65 crore, up 23.43 per cent from Rs 3,204.57 crore in the previous year.

Total income for the last fiscal rose to Rs 48,438.53 crore as compared to Rs 44,488.83 crore in 2015-16. M&M took a hit of Rs 171 crore on account of the Supreme Court's ban on BS-III vehicle sales from April 1.
Commenting on the numbers, the company said the outlook for 2017-18 is much more robust with a favourable domestic and global backdrop.

"Moreover, the ongoing remonetisation process and lagged effect of past rate cuts along with a further reduction in banks' lending rates will aid discretionary consumer spending and growth recovery," it said.
