Top-line growth is expected to have been driven by higher volumes as realization remained weak during the quarter. OPM stood at 12.6% down 725bp on yoy basis impacted by lower realization and higher freight costs. The company's bottom-line fell by 66% yoy to Rs. 14.1cr impacted by poor operating performance.
