New Delhi, India |February 12, 2018 ::Tyre manufacturer JK Tyre & Industries Ltd. (JKTIL) today announced the unaudited results for Q3, ended December, 31, 2017, on a consolidated basis. The company clocked Net Sales of Rs. 2135 crores for the Quarter, which was 16% higher than the corresponding period. On a standalone basis, JK Tyre recorded a 22% higher Net Sales at Rs. 1744 crores.
Dr. Raghupati Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director, JK Tyre & Industries Ltd., said “JK Tyre has successfully made deeper inroads in the market with substantial increase in its sales both on consolidated as well as standalone basis. The company continues to enjoy the leadership position in truck/bus radials apart from mustering higher volumes across all segments.”
The imposition of much awaited anti dumping duty on cheap Chinese truck/bus radial tyres is indeed a welcome step and will further help enhancing volumes.
A labour restructuring was successfully completed at Tornel, Mexico, which impacted the operations during the quarter, however, will give rich dividends in the coming period.
