Revenue from operations grew 26.6% year-on-year to Rs 575.33 bn in Q1 FY27, up from Rs 454.36 bn in Q1 FY26.

The strong performance was driven by volume growth in the automobile and farm businesses, margin expansion at Tech Mahindra, and improved performance at Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services (MMFSL).

The company's core domestic decorative paints business, a key metric tracked by investors amid concerns over price increases, recorded 9% volume growth compared with the same period last year. Gross margin expanded by 91 basis points Y-o-Y to 43.6%, primarily due to the absorption of older inventory during the first quarter.
