MRF Q2 Profit Declines 23-28% Amid Rising Raw Material Costs; Revenue Rises
MRF reported a 23-28% decline in net profit for Q2 FY27, with figures ranging from Rs 369 crore to Rs 417 crore, due to rising raw material costs amid supply shortages and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite this, revenue increased by about 17-18% to over Rs 8,500 crore, supported by steady tyre demand from automakers. The company declared an interim dividend of Rs 3 per share, with a record date set for November 17. Peers JK Tyre and CEAT also faced margin pressures from higher input costs.
