Tata Motors PAT up at Rs.223.36 crore
Mumbai: Tata Motors Ltd has reported a 122.66 per cent rise in profit after tax for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, to Rs.223.36 crore against Rs.100.31 crore posted in the previous corresponding period. The board has approved a proposal to list the company's outstanding Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADRs). There will be a marginal cost for converting the GDRs to ADRs. NYSE is perceived to be the right international bourse for listing an automobile and engineering company and Tata Motors is scheduled to be the first Indian player from the category to do so. The company's first quarter net sales/income from operations was up 42.82 per cent to Rs 3,574.08 crore (Rs 2,502.44 crore for the year ago period). Driven by returns from surplus cash, other income was Rs 41.24 crore (Rs 10.49 crore). Negative working capital continues, inventories are down to 34 days (42 days) and receivables are at nine days (24 days). The combined turnover of Tata Motors' six key subsidiaries was Rs 652 crore (Rs 224 crore) with a profit-before-tax of Rs 48 crore (Rs 5 crore). The plant capacity at Pune is being raised and should be up 50 per cent by year-end.
