India’s auto platform CarTrade shares jump 18% on profit

On Jan. 29, shares of CarTrade Technology increased by 18.65% to 1,624.20 rupees (US$18.76) on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

This rise followed the company’s announcement of a return to profitability in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024-25 (Q3 FY25).

The auto auction and online classifieds platform reported a consolidated net profit of 45.53 crore rupees (US$5.26 million) for the December quarter, a sharp turnaround from the 23.55 crore rupees (US$2.72 million) loss in the same period last year.

The company’s stock, which struggled post-initial public offering (IPO) in 2021, has rebounded strongly, gaining over 54% in six months.

Founded in 2009, CarTrade operates brands such as CarWale, BikeWale, and Shriram Automall.

It competes with platforms like CarDekho and CARS24 in India’s automotive classifieds market.
