The full read
Landmark Cars closed FY26 with record financials, reporting revenue of ₹4,115.5 crore and a net profit of ₹105.1 crore. These figures represent year-on-year growth of 20% and 36.1%, respectively. Despite the growth, management used the earnings call to signal a change in direction. After 18 months of aggressive expansion, the company is pivoting to a consolidation phase. The focus now shifts to asset utilization and margin recovery. A key pillar of this strategy is the after-sales business, which has crossed ₹1,000 crore in revenue and now generates nearly half of the company's gross profit. With EV penetration at 21%—significantly ahead of the industry average—and new-model pipelines from partners like Mercedes, BYD, and Honda, the company is maintaining a stance of cautious optimism for FY27. The immediate goal is to keep net debt/EBITDA below 1x.
