GMM Pfaudler Q2 Highlights (YoY)
Net profit up 150% at Rs 96.9 crore
Ebitda up 47% at Rs 138.25 crore

"I would say that 14-15% (Ebitda margin) is sustainable, but to reach 17% we need to start showing improvement," Tarak Patel, managing director of GMM Pfaudler, told BQ Prime in an interview. "I think India business needs to play a much more of an important part in terms of the growth of margins."
"And I think India will start showing that, both in terms of the material prices going down and the product mix changing," Tarak Patel said.
"The company is aiming to achieve Ebitda margins of 17% by 2025," he said.
