Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India Ltd on Tuesday reported a 26.36 per cent decline in its consolidated net profit for the second quarter ended September at Rs 2,466.1 crore, due to higher input costs resulting from the West-Asia conflict even as the revenue rose sharply, driven by record quarterly vehicle sales volumes.

The auto major had posted a net profit of Rs 3,349 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal, a regulatory filing to the exchanges showed.
