Sources in the company told businessline that the ‘other income’ was primarily comprised of forex gains and interest income. Deferred tax credit, which was higher by ₹4.3 crore, also helped boost profits.

TVS Supply Chain did record a higher revenue from operations--₹2,513 crore compared with ₹2,263 crore previously. The company’s Managing Director, Ravi Viswanathan, said in a press release that new business wins added ₹280 crore to the quarter’s revenue.

This is a multi-year transformational engagement with total contract value in excess of ₹2,200 crore. This long-term transformational engagement reinforces TVS SCS’ specialised capabilities in complex assembly and automation and the value that we bring as a supply chain outsourcing partner, the release says.
