“Automotive and special products’ segment deliveries grew 48% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) on the back of improvement in overall demand, increased share of business from existing customers, and new product approvals,” the company said in the statement. Deliveries of branded products and retail segment grew by 5% q-o-q, it said. “Industrial products and projects’ segment deliveries were marginally lower. However, the company achieved a 47% q-o-q delivery volume growth in high-end segments as we continued to focus on product mix enrichment by catering in sub-segments such as oil and gas, lifting and excavation, and pre-engineered buildings,” it added.
