Deepak C. Mehta, chairman & managing director, said: “The world continued its track record of unprecedented volatility in price and availability of commodities like coal, petrochemicals and even inorganics. This tumultuous environment tested the company and management on its judgement, agility and responsiveness to customer concerns.

While we work to mitigate short term challenges and focus on operating efficiencies, we are heartened to see record breaking top line performance of both companies on the back of increase in customer dependance on Deepak for uninterrupted supply.”
