India's largest tyre maker MRF would begin commercial production soon from its new Rs 900-crore Tiruchi plant despite the threat of lower growth being faced by the industry. The Tiruchi plant is the seventh plant of the company and can produce truck tyres and car radials.
The company is also planning to hike prices of tyres between 5-10% depending on the category of tyres owing to rising input costs. The company is also in process to raise money through bond worth $110 million.
Besides, MRF has reported a decline of 6.23% in its net profit for the second quarter ended March 31, 2011, which stood at Rs 89.85 crore against Rs 95.82 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
The company has reported net sales / income from operations of Rs 2381.56 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 against Rs 1767.58 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. It has reported an EPS of Rs 211.85 for the quarter under review as compared to Rs 225.94 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
