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.
