SSWL achieved total wheel rim sales of 10.60 Lacs Vs 11.67 Lacs in January 2018 representing a de-growth of 9% YoY. The Drop in January was purely on account of EWAY billing system introduced by Indian Government effective 1st February 2018. We expect that the factor will normalize in the month of February onwards.
