The company registered revenues of ₹593 crore (₹ 579 crore). However, the figures are not comparable as revenues for Q3 ended December 31, 2017, is net of GST, while the revenues for Q3 ended December 31, 2016, includes excise duty as per the requirement under IndAS.
“There was strong growth both in the CV as well as the passenger cars segments in Q3 but the growth in automotive businesses was offset by a reduction in non-automotive sales,” said Srivats Ram, MD.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of ₹6 (60 per cent) for each fully paid-up equity share.
