Commenting on the results, Mr. Arvind Goenka, Promoter and Managing Director said, "Q1FY22 was a challenging quarter marked by the second wave of covid-19 impacting demand, both locally and global markets. Further, raw material prices continued their increasing trend as was anticipated. Despite these headwinds, we have reported Total Income of Rs. 86.5 crore with EBITDA of Rs 22.8 crore and PAT of  Rs.12.4 crore for Q1FY21.

We continued to operate our manufacturing facilities taking all necessary precautions while ensuring safety and well-being of the employees. The Company also organized for vaccination of all employees and their family members. The regional lockdowns which were imposed to curb the spread of COV/0-19 are being relaxed which is positive for the growth momentum to continue in the coming quarters.

As mentioned in the last quarter, the spike in raw material prices have further increased from last quarter which has impacted our margins as price increase generally happen on quarterly /half yearly basis. However, with our continuous efforts towards controlling costs and focus on improving our operational efficiencies, we have managed to limit the impact on EBITDA.

We had faced delays due to the logistical challenges created by the onset of the second wave of Covid-19. Therefore the Phase-I of 5,500 TPA insoluble sulphur line and 42,000 TPA sulphuric acid line in Dharuhera (Haryana) is now expected to be commissioned by October`21.

The board has approved revised dividend policy which shall be available on website. This once again underline our commitment to our shareholders.

As per ICRA, the Indian Tyre industry is expected to grow in the current financial year aided by sharp recovery in OEM tyre demand, lower base of FY21, improving pace of vaccination, preference for personal mobility and healthy rural cash flows amid a normal monsoon forecast. With lockdowns easing out, replacement demand is expected to bounce back along with an uptick in auto production on back of pent-up demand, thereby driving the demand for insoluble sulphur.

The business environment continues to be a bit uncertain due to a predicted third wave of the pandemic, however we are well equipped to navigate the near term challenges based on our learning`s of last year and are confident that the strength of our proprietary manufacturing technology will continue to drive our business relationships and growth. We are well placed to deliver sustainable and profitable long-term growth with our dominant position in the industry, and would be focused on expanding our foothold in markets where we have low penetration over the next 3-5 years.”
