Cummins India Profit Stalls as Costs Surge; MD Steps Down
CMI sits 79% above its 52-week low of $356.92 on elevated volume (2.4× avg).
Summary
Cummins India, a key subsidiary, posted a near-flat profit of 6.09 billion rupees as a 22.8% jump in expenses, led by raw materials, wiped out an 18% revenue gain. Managing Director Shveta Arya is leaving to pursue external opportunities, adding leadership uncertainty. This follows Cummins' record Q2 results yesterday, but the India unit's margin pressure and the MD exit are a fresh negative. The subsidiary contributes meaningfully to Cummins' international power generation and industrial business.
