Commenting on the performance, Managing Director Mr. Satyen Patel stated that FY25 results were affected by muted demand, leading to a drop in revenue. However, he highlighted the company’s efforts in debt reduction, which contributed to lower finance costs and improved financial resilience.

Capacity utilisation for FY25 was at 68 per cent, with expectations of improvement in the coming quarters as demand picks up.
