CarTrade Tech Limited reported a strong set of Q4 results 2026, driven by steady revenue growth, sharp margin expansion, and rising profitability across its digital automotive and classifieds businesses.
The company posted consolidated revenue from operations of ₹203.14 crore in the March quarter, up 20% year-on-year from ₹169.51 crore. Profit after tax surged 54% to ₹70.85 crore, while EBITDA climbed 55% to ₹71.65 crore during the quarter. EBITDA margin improved significantly to 35% from 27% a year ago, reflecting better operating leverage and tighter cost management.
For the full FY26 period, revenue rose 21% to ₹779.27 crore, while PAT increased 68% to ₹243.51 crore. The company also maintained a debt-free balance sheet and ended the year with cash reserves of ₹1,244 crore after adding nearly ₹300 crore in cash during FY26.
The Consumer Group business, which includes CarWale and BikeWale, remained a major growth driver. Segment revenue increased 30% year-on-year, while EBITDA nearly doubled with margins expanding to 38%. The platforms now attract more than 150 million annual users, with over 90% of traffic generated organically.
CarTrade’s remarketing business Shriram Automall and classifieds platform OLX India also delivered healthy growth in revenue and profitability. OLX India’s PAT jumped 77% in FY26, supported by rising user engagement and stronger monetisation.
The company said it continues to expand its technology-led ecosystem through 15+ AI-powered tools, including automated valuation systems and regional-language buyer-seller matching platforms. Management sees long-term opportunities in India’s growing used vehicle market, which handles nearly 5.5 million transactions annually.
With strong cash reserves, improving margins, and increasing AI integration, CarTrade Tech enters FY27 with a focus on scaling its high-margin digital marketplace business.
