Business Outlook:

Commenting on the company’s performance, Mr. Mithun. K. Chittilappilly, Managing Director, V-Guard Industries Ltd said “The business performance has been very strong in Q4, continuing on the growth momentum witnessed in Q3.  We have been able to achieve a broad based growth across all our segments including our emerging categories.  Input cost inflation remains a challenge, and while we have been able to mitigate it to large extent, some near term pressures are likely to continue.

As we enter the new financial year, the country has been hit by a more severe second wave of COVID-19. As most parts of the country are under lockdown, there will be a significant impact on consumer demand during Q1 FY 22.  We are confident that our business will come back strongly once the lockdowns are lifted.”
