Speaking about the performance, Mr. Atul Garg, Managing Director, said: "We are happy to report that the company saw robust business growth in the first half of the current financial year. With the new procurement season just getting underway, we expect the H2FY23 performance to be better as compared to H1FY23. We have recently introduced 10X Zarda King Rice to our domestic branded portfolio. This along with our existing D2C portfolio of consumer staples like the Ready to Cook Biryani kit, Ready to Eat Biryani, packaged wheat flour (Atta), and subsequentially the expected launch of mustard oil will help us to consistently achieve healthy growth.
However, there was an impact on operating margins in H1FY23 on account of inflationary pressure. We are currently focusing on gaining market share and with the easing of raw material prices going ahead, we are optimistic about margin expansion in the future.
We anticipate excellent overall performance going forward as our domestic business picks up steam and is equally backed by the steady export business."
