Balkrishna Industries (BIL)’s Q2FY24 EBITDAM, at 24.4%, was up 170bps QoQ driven by a combination of lower raw material basket (RMB) cost, better product mix and favourable hedge rate. Post-inventory destocking at the dealer level in the last few quarters, inventory is now at normalised levels of 2-3 months, from highs of ~4 months.
