Revenue grew by around 8 per cent year-on-year to Rs. 1,627-crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
“A good monsoon led to sales and profit growth in our agricultural business segment. We saw positive volume growth in multiple business units, however crude oil and exchange rate volatility impacted our margins in certain business divisions.
