Commenting on the performance for Q4 & FY20, Anil Kumar Mittal Chairman and Managing Director, KRBL said, "Our performance during the quarter underlines the strength of our brands. Our focus during the year had been to further magnify visibility and worldwide reach of our portfolio. As the pandemic struck, we saw a strong surge in requirement for our products both domestically and in key export markets. We faced challenges initially with respect to labour and logistics, which have now been normalised. Our superior market position in key customer segments has continued to enhance. FY20 was also a milestone year as a corporate for us where major legal hurdles saw resolution. Given the momentum in our business, I can see that we are poised to deliver sustained improvement in earnings with enhanced margins in the years to come."
