PGHH reported -9.26% lower total revenues for the March 2023 quarter on consolidated basis at Rs883cr. On a sequential basis, the revenues were down -22.36%. The company saw good traction in the hygiene business and the company undertook a sharp lowering of material costs and higher inventory efficiency gains in the quarter.

Another major reason for the 60% spike in the net profit was from the reversal of tax provisions of Rs58 crore in the previous quarters, which has shown as tax credit for this quarter. If that was factored, then the profits for the quarter would have been lower on a yoy basis.
