Whilst our transformation journey remains intact, our financial performance during this quarter was primarily impacted by short-term disruptions arising from an unscheduled operational shutdown at Mangalore on account of facility upgradation resulting in delayed deliveries and reduced sales volumes during the quarter. While these factors influenced current quarter results, they are transitory. The underlying fundamentals of the business remain strong, supported by a resilient operating model, robust compliance framework, and a diversified portfolio across key markets. Regulated markets and a healthy product mix continue to be a hallmark of the business. We are also actively working to strengthen the balance sheet, aiming to reduce debt through a combination of rights issue and operating leverage, resulting in a lighter and healthier financial position."
