 Commenting on the results, Mr. Arvind Goenka, Promoter and Managing Directors said

"Post the second wave of Covid-19 in Q1 FY22, there had been steady recovery in economic activities on the back of large vaccination drive in India with 1 billion shots by Oct 2021 and touched 1.5 billion shots by Jan 2022. We have recorded total income growth of 19% Yo Y for 9M FY22. However, we witnessed slowdown in demand from domestic as well as international markets due to the impact of third wave of Covid in European and South-East Asian markets.

Rising raw material prices and sea freight costs have impacted our margins and profitability for the quarter. We are taking necessary steps towards controlling costs and shall strive to price hikes for covering higher cost depending on the market environment.

We are pleased to inform that the Company has commissioned its first phase of 5,500 tonnes per annum capacity of Insoluble Sulphur at Dharuhera plant at Haryana from 21st December, 2021. Sulphuric Acid plant commissioning is getting delayed due to supplier issues and expect to be commissioned by March 2022. We shall plan for the second phase of Insoluble Sulphur Plant depending on the visibility of demand and auto market scenario going forward.

Overall, we expect demand from replacement and export segment to be normalized which should augur well for tyre industry. Also tyre demand from the commercial vehicle industry has remained strong over past few months on account of improved fleet utilization.

With the commissioning of our phase-I of capacity expansion, we are optimistic of gaining new orders in the quarters to come. Outlook for the Tyre industry appears stable to moderately optimistic in light of the shift towards personal mobility and increased vehicle utilization. We are focused on our efforts to deliver sustainable and profitable longterm growth with our dominant position in the industry and also proprietary manufacturing technology that the Company possesses. We are focused on increasing our penetration into high potential geographies like North America."
