Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited one of the leading castings and pig iron manufacturers in India, announced today its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended 30th September 2023.
Commenting on the Q2 FY 2024 results, R.V.Gumaste, Managing Director, KFIL, said “This has been a challenging quarter especially due to pressure of high input commodities prices. All our planned shutdowns are done now, and we expect normalized production capacities for the second half of the year. Casting demand for commercial vehicles and off-highway vehicles continued strong, however demand from tractor industry was subdued. During the quarter we completed the acquisition of Oliver engineering and we have taken the management control as on 29th September 2023.”
