“Despite FY 2021-22 starting off on a challenging note led by an impact from the second wave of Covid-19, the company has delivered strong performance and growth. This was primarily driven by strong demand from domestic tyre manufacturers as well as exports.

Our timely expansion in India in FY20 (to 72,000 TPA) has started bearing fruits for us as we are aiming to increase the capacity utilisation levels over the current year and next year for the expanded capacity at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. Similarly, we have now taken up the expansion of our capacity in Thailand from 40,000 TPA to 60,000 TPA owing to our increased traction in the region as well as increasing market share. Post this expansion (expected by end FY22), Rajratan will become the second largest bead wire manufacturer in Asia outside China with a combined capacity of 120,000 TPA (for bead wire).

Rajratan continues to be on the forefront of meeting the requirements of our customers, which has led to some of our key customers according Rajratan with prestigious Vendor Managed responsibility for some of their plants.

We have continued to widen our customer base in both domestic markets (India and Thailand) as well as export markets (USA & Europe).

We have also initiated efforts to set up a manufacturing capacity of an additional 60,000 TPA in Southern India (Tamil Nadu) and will keep you updated on the progress as we move forward.

We continue to “Outperform” and work as a team in the current challenging times to deliver value to our shareholders,” stated in the press release.
