Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Rakesh Makhija, Managing Director, SKF India ltd, we delivered solid results in a very tough environment. The skyrocketing steel prices and more importantly, erratic supplies created a huge pressure on our operations. We have focused on our key customers and on cost control to maintain our operations on an even keel.
We believe that steel prices and availability will continue to be volatile in the second half of the year. We will mitigate this thru close collaboration with our customers and focus on value added solutions and services".
