Cummins India Limited announced standalone unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, with total sales of ₹3,247 crore and profit after tax of ₹467 crore, reflecting year-over-year sales growth but lower profitability due to margin pressures.
The company’s total sales rose 4% compared to the same quarter last year but declined 4% sequentially from the previous quarter. Domestic sales increased by 5% year-over-year to ₹2,692 crore but fell 6% sequentially. Export sales grew by 2% year-over-year and 6% from the prior quarter, reaching ₹555 crore.
