The Company has posted a revenue of ₹441.35cr compared to ₹456.50cr in the preceding quarter and ₹607.65cr in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. PBT increased by 15% vis-à-vis Q1FY24. 

However, Profit after Tax (PAT) declined at ₹15.8cr in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 against ₹26.6cr in the year ago quarter.

Further, the operating performance reflects stable demand, efficient cost management, and reduced realizations in the context of higher energy and input costs, the company said.

Amidst this challenging macroeconomic backdrop, our foremost objective remains to serve our customers while sustaining revenues and keeping an eye on the bottom-line. Our ESG focus on transitioning to environmental-friendly manufacturing practices is a strategic long-term objective."
