Wheels India had reported a healthy 23% year on year increase in its net profit at Rs 718 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 (FY18). Revenues for the year went up 14% to Rs 24.69 billion, driven largely by demand uptake in the commercial vehicle (CV) and passenger car segments and a recovery in the overseas markets for its business segments in the second half of the year.

The company expects the strong growth in the domestic sales to continue this year. The export business is also likely to grow at a faster pace in the coming year. The domestic demand is driven by replacement demand in the CV market, government infrastructural initiatives and pro-agricultural policies.
