Tyre maker MRF Ltd., on Thursday, reported a nearly five-fold rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 588.75 crore in the June quarter, driven by higher revenue and lower raw materials costs.

Consolidated revenue from operations was at Rs 6,440.29 crore as against Rs 5,695.93 crore in the year-ago quarter, it added.
Cost of materials consumed was lower at Rs 3,780.67 crore as compared to Rs 4,114.06 crore in the corresponding period of FY23, the company said.
