Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Company, Mr Anil Jain said:

India is witnessing challenges due to global warming which is resulting in untimely rains and drought conditions impacting agriculture and related businesses. It has impacted farmers doing value added agriculture as well.

For the first 9 months, Company has posted double digit growth in revenue & much higher level growth in EBITDA across all business segments.

In last quarter, overall demand from rural segment has remained subdued. There was a noticeable decrease in liquidity among farmers, stemming from a decline in the market prices of key commodities such as cotton. Even though India’s long term story of robust consumption remains intact, the company witnessed lower demand in its key markets like Maharashtra & Southern India resulting in lower revenue during the quarter. In addition, Company has de-growth in revenue as its project business has reduced as per declared strategy. However, with our focus on retail and innovative products, the company could maintain it’s earnings.

We believe this is temporary and the demand will revive in next few quarters. Structurally we are moving in right direction with sustained growth and optimum leverage under new business model.
