SSWL June Sales Highlight
SSWL achieved total wheel rim sales of 10.29 Lacs Vs 11.63 Lacs in June 2017 representing a YoY drop of 11.52%. The drop was majorly due to GST implementation in June and all the destocking being done by all across the OEMs.
Every segment got impacted by production cuts due to deadline of GST implementation and we expect to cover the loss in Q2 of FY 17-18. Q2 volumes in FY 16-17 were record high and we expect to beat this make new record in Q2 FY 17-18
The quarterly forecast for Q2 is shared below indicating good rebound from post GST implementation and we expect this to be led by very good growth in tractor and truck segment portfolio.
