The company is successfully implementing projects and also was able to secure prestigious project from Himachal Government of Rs.975 mn in the quarter. Food business out of India grew rapidly on the back of strong domestic demand for pulp.
We continue to improve overall receivable levels towards our goal of optimum working capital cycle. Increased inventory at peak level right now is function of seasonality in food business. Overseas Subsidiaries business has also shown strong growth with positive PAT number. We expect to further improve our working in remainder of FY15.

We thank all stakeholders for their constant support in last 2 years in which we went through turmoil brought upon by change in our business model and general weakness in external environment.”
