The performance of a sample of 2,126 companies over the last quarter (Oct-Dec) 2016 period reveals a positive picture, with both net sales and net profits growth showing improvement.
“The overall performance has been driven by the large companies that have also been less impacted by the demonetization process as they were less impacted directly on account of limited availability of cash. Those at the lower end of the size scales witnessed lower growth in both sales and profit,” said CARE Ratings in recent report.
