Commenting on the results and financial performance of the Company, Mr. Harsha Kadam, Managing Director, said, "The economy and market has just survived a high magnitude pandemic effect. After a full month of lockdown in April, and a staggered resumption of operational activity in May and June, we could manage to curtail our effective production loss to 52 days during the quarter as against a prolonged nationwide lockdown . This impacted the operational performance significantly and thereby resulted into a loss situation during the quarter. While it is not possible to predict normalization of market and economy, our efforts are aimed towards responding to crisis with agility and ensuring business continuity without losing sight of the future. We have managed to weather the storm and demonstrated that our fundanmentals are strong. While slow demand still continues, we are looking at a better H2 2020 against the challenges ahead".
