The drop in net profit was primarily due to subdued domestic demand and the impact of geopolitical factors in export markets.
Although volumes declined during the quarter, the company expects demand to pick up and projects low single-digit growth in the fourth quarter.
Tarun Garg, whole-time director and chief operating officer, said the company is aiming for a 20 per cent market share in the electric vehicle (EV) sector in the mid-to-long term, with the newly launched Creta Electric expected to play a pivotal role.
The company is also focusing on building an EV ecosystem while exploring alternative technologies such as hydrogen, hybrid, and flexible fuel.
In Q3FY25, the company's revenue declined marginally by 1 per cent to ₹16,648 crore, compared to ₹16,875 crore during the same period in FY24.
