Hindustan Motors Ltd., part of the CK Birla Group, has posted a net loss of $3.6 million (about Rs 17 crore) for the second quarter this fiscal, significantly worse than the $62,000 loss it posted in the year-ago period. ‘Rising input costs, foreign exchange rates and paucity of retail finance have impacted the quarter’s performance,’ said a company statement.
