Cars24 India’s revenue from operations declined over 18% to Rs 5,092 crore in FY26, down from Rs 6,223 crore the previous year, according to consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies. The core car auction and retail business saw a sharper fall, with revenue dropping 23% to Rs 4,439 crore from Rs 5,746 crore in FY25.

The revenue decline reflects a continued downturn in Cars24 India’s primary vehicle transaction segment. However, the company expanded its financing arm, Loans24, disbursing loans worth Rs 3,426 crore during the year. Ancillary automotive services, including service fees, parking fees, lead fees, listing fees, insurance assistance, and warranties, collectively generated Rs 653 crore, a 34% increase from Rs 487 crore in FY25.

Despite the revenue drop, Cars24 India reduced its net loss by 19% to Rs 441 crore from Rs 543 crore in FY25. The company attributed this improvement partly to embedding artificial intelligence into its operations, which contributed approximately 300 basis points to EBITDA. This helped keep operating costs flat even as revenue declined, supporting the company’s financial health ahead of a planned initial public offering.

Cars24 India’s financial results for FY26 highlight the challenges in its core used-car marketplace while showing growth in financing and ancillary services. The company’s next major milestone will be its IPO, which aims to capitalize on improved operational efficiency and diversified revenue streams.
