Bajaj Auto Q3 Preview: Profit expected to rise 21% on higher volumes and stronger mixBajaj Auto is expected to report a 21% rise in Q3FY26 profit to ₹2,562 crore, supported by higher volumes, better product mix, and rupee depreciation, with revenue and EBITDA also projected to grow and margins holding above 20%.By Sudarshan Kumar   |  Jomy Jos Pullokaran  January 29, 2026, 6:50:34 PM IST (Updated)1 Min ReadThe country's second-largest two-wheeler maker, Bajaj Auto Ltd, is expected to report steady third-quarter results for FY26 on January 30, with profit projected to rise 21% year-on-year to ₹2,562 crore from ₹2,109 crore in Q3FY25.

Revenue is estimated to increase 20% to ₹15,330 crore, up from ₹12,807 crore a year ago. EBITDA is likely to grow 22% to ₹3,149 crore, with margins holding above 20% at 20.5%, compared with 20.2% in the corresponding quarter last year.

Volume growth is expected at 10% year-on-year and 4% quarter-on-quarter, supported by festive demand, GST cuts, and strong export growth. Average selling price (ASP) is projected to rise 9% YoY, though it may dip 1% sequentially.

Rupee depreciation and a better product mix are expected to support realisations, while rising raw material costs are likely to be offset by higher dollar realisation and operating leverage. Investors will also watch for updates on demand outlook, upcoming Pulsar launches, e-mobility initiatives, and KTM strategies.

Shares of Bajaj Auto Ltd ended at ₹9,498.20, up by ₹62.95, or 0.67%, on the BSE.
