Tonnage collected from continuing projects (12-month of operations in FY20) declined by ~16% YOY, weighed by covid related business-lockdowns.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, we notice a resilience in the economic activity. The Company has ensured vaccination for its frontline working staff with a view to give them better immunity and is also in a continuous process of tweaking its operations, to re-align its resources and control costs, all steps aimed at maintaining its operational margin.
