GCPL expects growth in the second half of this fiscal year should be better than the first half. Consequently, GCPL intent is to deliver a stronger performance overall this year, compared to the previous year. The medium and long-term growth prospects in India and GCPL other emerging markets remain robust. With the company clear strategic focus, differentiated product portfolio, superior execution and top-notch team, it will continue to deliver industry leading results in the future.
