MRP
in Bangladesh since August 2022 led to a serious drop in the Letter of credit
availability thus impacting exports and total revenue. Although the forex crisis
has receded a bit we are yet to see the robust levels of early 2022.
Business from Indonesia was impacted due to the sudden suspension of quotas
being released by the Ministry of Trade & Industry since September 2022.
The Philippines in the far east & the middle eastern region showed substantial
growth and continue to maintain the momentum for brand MRF. Categories of
Truck Radial, Light truck & passenger car tyres showed good growth in these
markets and consumer preferences continue to be high.
Going forward we see immense opportunities in our existing strong markets
of Middle East, Africa, Far East, Bangladesh and emerging markets of Europe,
South America & USA.

debtors turnover, inventory turnover, current ratio, debt equity ratio and
Interest coverage ratio, net profit margin (%), operating profit margin and return
on net worth.
The return on net worth increased from 4.80% in 2021-2022 to 5.77% in
2022-2023. This is due to the increase in current year's profit.
Opportunities and Threats
Macro indicators point to continued growth of the Indian economy.
Infrastructure spending and continued emphasis to manufacture in India will
provide impetus for growth. Private sector Capex is also picking up steam.
Inflation continues to be near the upper end of the RBIs tolerance band and is
forecast for a gradual reduction. High Bank interest rates are likely to sustain.
Monsoon forecast is a little to the lower side of normal and El Nino has been
predicted. Any shortfall in the monsoon can impact rural demand. Extreme
weather events can impact agriculture and other activities.
Outlook
Pent up demand in passenger vehicles will cool in financial year 2024 but
secular economic growth should provide steady growth to the auto industry.
Higher capital expenditure by the auto industry points to high levels of capacity
utilization and is a pointer to higher levels of production in the future.
With new BS VI phase-2 transition effective 1st April, 2023, vehicle costs will go
up. However, the reduction in input costs will be a positive for the auto industry.
Impact on the tyre industry would also be similar as outlined above.
