The quarter started in October with good pick-up in demand but subsequently core industries saw contraction in production in November. Few of our key customer industries were impacted as Index for Industrial Production declined, such as pharmaceuticals decreased by 0.8% YoY, textiles by 9.8% YoY, machinery and equipment by 5.4% YoY in November. Evolving political situation in few parts of country also restricted our topline growth during the quarter.
In the current situation, I am pleased to report that in this quarter company delivered Revenue from operations of Rs. 262 crores. EBITDA stood at Rs. 47 crores with margins of 18% and Profit after Tax for the period was Rs. 34 crores with margins of 13%.
