The Board of Directors of SKF India Limited, India’s leading technology and solutions provider of bearings and units, seals, lubrication, condition monitoring and services, last week approved the unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2021.
The Revenue from operations of the company for the period was at Rs 6935.3 million as compared to Rs 3012.4 million in the previous year.
The Profit Before Tax for the period was Rs 1,058 million compared to a loss of Rs 3.3 million during the previous year.
Manish Bhatnagar, Managing Director SKF India Ltd., said, “It has been a tough quarter for the economy due to the catastrophic second wave of COVID-19 across the country. At SKF, our COVID response is firmly focused on the well-being of both our employees and our business. We are doing everything we can to ensure the safety and health of all our employees, partners and other stakeholders.”
While the quarter witnessed volatile price and availability challenges on steel and logistics, he said they have been disciplined in their approach to ensure that this inflationary impact is either eliminated or minimized to reduce the need for price increases to customers.
“We continue to focus on putting our customers and employees first and exercise a strong cost discipline across business operations. Our financial results, despite the challenges, are commendable with strong gains year-on year. We delivered a 130% revenue growth and an 11.4% PAT. This strong performance reflects the strong resilience and a winning spirit of our people,” Bhatnagar added.
