Muted YoY growth was mainly due to production disruption in July amid Covid-19. EBITDA margins improved mere 18 bps YoY to 15.8% (I-direct estimate: 15.5%), 111 bps improvement in gross margins was largely offset by higher employee cost and other expenditure.

PAT declined 34.4% YoY (up 66.7% YoY) to Rs 30.3 crore (I-direct estimate: Rs 27.3 crore) due to increase in depreciation, interest cost and tax outgo.
