Revenue
▪ ECD segment witnessed a mixed trend with a robust pick up in demand in 1st half of the quarter with record heat temperature in several regions of the country. However, in the second half of the quarter, with a drop in consumer demand and expectation of price drop due to commodity correction led to de-stocking by the trade channel resulting in lower primary sales. Coolers demand witnessed positive traction, especially for the month of April’22 given a intense heat wave across the country. This helped in liquidating channel inventory and reduced Orient inventory as well. This paves way for a positive outlook in the next season. Water heater in ECD also started picking up towards the end of the Quarter, imparting optimism for the remainder year. Revenue for ECDs reached its pre covid levels despite various macro challenges in terms of higher inflation, global political turmoil and raw material supply bottlenecks. ▪ ▪
