Commenting on the results, Shri Harsh Pati Singhania, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, said, “the Company was able to deliver an improved performance on a quarter to quarter and YoY basis due to growth in volume driven by ramp up of new Packaging Board capacity coupled with overall better realisation despite adverse impact of higher input costs. The finance cost was also lower on account of effective working capital management and reduction in interest rate through negotiation.
