Despite challenging demand conditions in the domestic market, as a result of a severe than expected second wave of COVID-19, JSPL sales were resilient at 1.61 million tonnes (+3% Y-o-Y). Buoyant export markets continued to provide support with exports accounting for 44% of volumes in the month of June 21 and 34% in 1QFY22. Exports were however impacted by logistical challenges posed by adverse weather conditions leading to congestion at ports. Inventory of 1.5 lakh tonnes currently remains stuck at port; which will be shipped as soon as the logistical bottlenecks are removed.
