Profit Parade: Maruti, Vedanta, BPCL Lead the Q2 Charge

India’s Q2 earnings season surged ahead with 76 companies announcing their financial results for the September 2025 quarter. Among the headline-makers, Maruti Suzuki posted a 7.3% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹3,293 crore, with revenue climbing 13% to ₹42,100 crore. However, its EBITDA margin contracted slightly, and the stock ended lower post-announcement.

Vedanta reported a decline in quarterly profits, citing lower commodity prices and operational costs. BPCL and GAIL also released their numbers, with mixed performance across refining and gas segments. Bharat Electronics (BEL), Shriram Finance, and Bank of Baroda were among other key players reporting today. Analysts suggest that these results will shape short-term market sentiment and sectoral rotation.
