MRF Q1 Net Profit Slips to Rs 495 Crore
MRF is a big company in India that makes tyres for cars, trucks, and other vehicles.
A few times every year, the company tells the world how much money it earned.
In the latest three months, MRF sold more tyres than before and earned more money overall.
But the final profit it got to keep went down a little bit.
The profit fell about one percent, from around 502 crore rupees to 495 crore rupees.
The main reason is that the materials used to make tyres cost more money than before.
Some of those material prices went up because there is fighting happening in the Middle East.
Even though profit was a bit lower, MRF is still making a lot of money.
MRF tried to make things better by raising tyre prices and cutting other costs.
The company thinks material costs may stay high for a while, so making tyres may keep costing more.
MRF's Q1 FY27 consolidated net profit fell 1.3% year-on-year to Rs 495.35 crore from Rs 501.82 crore.
Consolidated total income rose 10.3% to Rs 8,610.56 crore during the quarter ended 30 June 2026.
Profit before tax declined to Rs 649.69 crore from Rs 671.83 crore a year earlier, with a tax provision of Rs 154.34 crore.
Higher raw material costs, kept firm by the ongoing Middle East conflict, weighed on profitability and margins.
MRF raised prices and pursued cost-management measures to partly absorb the impact of dearer inputs.
