Management Comments:-
In a statement, Mr. Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd. said, “The current quarter results have been impacted due to delay in orders from our customers in the industrial and sports businesses on account of recessionary pressures in Europe and USA. We saw customers adjusting stocks in Q3 significantly. We expect this to be short term in nature and will get corrected from Q1 FY24. There was an offset to some extent by strong order flow from Chile and Scotland
Aquaculture business, focused on our new innovative products like X18 and CFR, from major customers there. These products are allowing customers to benefit from operational savings which would otherwise be difficult. We have been able to maintain margins during the current quarter and expect that to continue. We look forward to a better fourth quarter with current visibility.
