Raw material and other input costs witnessed an on-going uptrend, thus impacting margins. The company has undertaken multiple price revisions though not to the full extent and will pursue further opportunities.

Cavendish Industries Ltd. and JK Tornel, Mexico, subsidiaries of the company have contributed to the overall growth of the company.
