The sales of the company were majorly affected in FY21 as the pandemic led to restrictions in movement which ultimately reduced the demand for these vehicles. However, the company is seeing a strong rebound in their sales as they have sold 5,533 units in just the first five months of FY23 as compared to 7,392 units which they were able to sell in FY22.
In the quarter under review, their net profit stood at Rs 2 crores as against a loss of Rs 33 crores which it incurred in Q1FY22. The company has been able to narrow its losses for the last five quarters.
SML Isuzu Limited (SMLI) is a commercial vehicle manufacturer which produces and sells buses, ambulances and customised vehicles. The company has an 8 per cent market share in the Domestic School Bus segment and a 15 per cent market share in the Passenger Carrier segment.
With all the improvement in its financials and a rise in the demand for its product, the company seems to be coming back on track and might have the potential to reach new heights in the coming time to give exponential returns.
