I am happy to announce that Steel bottles are now available in modern trade and general trade.

Capacity expansion plans in writing instruments have been set into motion with the commencement of construction of new factory building in Valsad and once operationalised, it will provide further impetus to growth. In a major boost to our creative segment; we are pleased to announce that we signed a Licensee agreement with Disney for branding their characters for a range of stationery and arts & craft products.

Overall pens segment continues to grow across all brands, creative segment continued their higher double-digit growth rate of about 28 % and the steel bottles segment has started making breakthrough in the market.
