May 5 (Reuters) - Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS beat fourth-quarter profit estimates on Tuesday, driven by steady demand for its high-margin sport-utility vehicles and tractors.
Standalone profit after tax rose to 37.37 billion rupees ($391.89 million) for the quarter ended March 31, from 24.37 billion rupees a year earlier, the Scorpio SUV maker said.
Analysts, on average, expected a profit of 34.32 billion rupees, per data compiled by LSEG.
