Leading tyre manufacturer JK Tyre has announced its third price rise for FY25, citing increased inventory costs and inflation pressures from prior quarters as the reasons. According to Anshuman Singhania, Managing Director of JK Tyre, the price increase, which is anticipated to be between 1% and 2%, is a reflection of market conditions.
The main reasons for JK Tyre's decision to raise prices once more are:
Rising Prices for Raw Materials: The company's manufacturing costs have been impacted by the 6-7% quarterly increase in raw material prices.
Situation of the Market: Singhania claims that the firm has only been able to pass on 1% to 2% of this rise to the market, and that a further price increase is anticipated in the next quarter.
For the third quarter of FY25, the firm recorded INR 3,643 crore in sales and INR 443 crore in EBITDA, which translates to an EBITDA margin of 12.2%. To lessen the effects of growing costs, JK Tyre has implemented smart cost-control strategies.
This fiscal year, the cost of raw materials has skyrocketed in the Indian tire sector, prompting key firms to raise prices in order to maintain profitability. As stated by Singhania:
Current Price Increases: While raw material costs have increased by 12–13%, JK Tyre has raised pricing by 3.5–4%.
In order to counteract the 8–9% impact of growing material costs, the business intends to carefully evaluate market conditions for any upcoming changes.
Price swings for natural rubber have been identified by JK Tyre as a major cost-influencing factor:
Although the commodity is still erratic, natural rubber prices decreased in October.
Possible Stabilization According to JK Tyre's CFO, Sanjeev Aggarwal, the effects of these cuts could not become apparent until prices have further stabilized.
JK Tyre expects a revival in demand across a number of automobile categories despite cost challenges:
Growth in Two-Wheeler and Three-Wheeler: Demand in both sectors has been strengthened by festive season sales, and growth is anticipated to continue into the second half of FY25.
Commercial and Passenger Vehicles: JK Tyre anticipates a resurgence in demand in the commercial and passenger vehicle sectors after the monsoon-induced slowdown in sales.
The replacement market, a major source of income, is expected to expand by double digits in the upcoming quarter, and the firm is still positive about it.
The third price increase in FY25 from JK Tyre highlights the company's response to growing production costs while preserving optimism about the revival of demand in important industries. The company's strategy changes show that it is focused on managing inflationary pressures and being ready for expected market expansion.
