During the year under review, MRF’s exports stood at Rs 1,779 crore, up from Rs.1,333 crore logged during FY21.
According to MRF, it was not able to fully recover the increase in raw material cost.
Market conditions, after the pandemic, are also not favourable to absorb such frequent price increases.
The company will do its best to recover the cost increases in the coming months.
The operations were also adversely impacted by the uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the early part of the year, issues connected with availability of raw materials and also challenges posed by the Ukrainian war, MRF said.
