Chennai, Oct 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) Automotive brake linings, disc pads and clutch facings major Rane Brake Linings Ltd on Thursday said its Board of Directors has approved buyback of equity shares for a maximum price of Rs 825 per share.
The face value of the equity share is Rs 10 and the maximum price per share will be Rs 825 for buyback and the total amount to be utilised for the purpose will be Rs 22 crore excluding transaction costs and taxes, the company said.

The net profit stood at Rs 4.6 crore for period under review, down from Rs 14.8 crore in H1 FY20 owing to the Covid-19 lockdown during the first quarter of the current fiscal.
"With the gradual opening of the economy, we saw pickup in the demand and OEMs production levels gained momentum anticipating festive sales. The plant operations team effectively handled the production ramp up despite the supply chain and labour availability challenges. The cost reduction measures and lower material prices helped in margin improvement. We remain cautiously optimistic about sustenance of the demand post festive season," Rane Group Chairman L. Ganesh said.
