Message

We have achieved volume growth of 8% during Q1, while aiming at a double-digit growth, despite tough market conditions. Capacity utilisation during the quarter was lowest in past many quarters barring pandemic days due to slower than expected demand and high level of inventories coupled with routine maintenance shutdowns.

We reported consolidated revenue of INR 584 crores, a growth of 5% and operating margin improved by 0.6% to 8.7% as compared to corresponding quarter of last year primarily on account of softening in gas price.

We have further strengthened our working capital during the quarter and continue to adhere to robust credit discipline, which we had put in place few years ago.

We expect an improvement in demand outlook, which is already resulting in higher capacity utilisation. The benefit of operational efficiencies, on account of higher capacity utilisation as well as cost optimisation measures taken in recent past, coupled with stable gas price should improve the operating margin going forward.
