Pradeep Rathod, Chairman & Managing Director, Cello World, said: “In H1FY25, the company delivered steady performance by demonstrating consistent revenue growth and maintaining profitability despite several headwinds on export demand, particularly for writing instruments. Consumerware business grew by 5%, and the moulded furniture business grew by 7% on a year-on-year basis. Writing Instruments business de-grew by 8% mainly due to lower exports. Our focus on operational excellence continues to deliver robust cash generation. This operational rigor gives us the flexibility to navigate external challenges while staying on track with our strategic objectives. We have seen encouraging growth trends in our alternative sales channels, particularly online and modern trade. We see these channels as key drivers for capturing growth across the country, especially for our consumer-ware division. Looking ahead, the second half of FY25 has started on a positive note, with strong sales momentum in October. Given the solid off-take in the early part of the Q3 due to the robust festive season demand, we remain confident in our ability to achieve mid teen growth for FY25. We have commissioned the state-of-the-art glassware manufacturing facility in Falna, Rajasthan. The facility has initiated trial runs, with commercial production set to follow. With this, Cello becomes the only domestic consumer products company with a presence across all material types to have an in-house glassware capacity in India.” Result PDF
