In the third quarter, both OE & Replacement sales were robust on account of increase in demand following the reduction in GST rates.
Rural economy also picked up against the background of good and widespread monsoons.
"The demand buoyancy arising from reduction in GST rates is expected to continue in 4th quarter also. Moreover, OEMs are expected to increase production levels due to higher sales expected in the last quarter and also due to reduced channel inventory," MRF had said earlier. "Trade Agreements, being finalized by the Government with various countries, including with EU and US, will open up opportunities for exports in the coming future." (ANI)
