Commenting on the results, Dr Krishna Prasad Chigurupati, chairman & MD of Granules India said, I am pleased to share that we are slowly getting back to the normal as is evident from the revenue growth which came in despite the continuing disruptions and challenging environment such as raw material price increase, unstable supply from China and PAP supply constraints.

We at Granules are now ready to take a leap to transform our business to the next level. We are strengthening management capabilities and are investing in R&D infrastructure, scientific talent, and partnerships in science & technology which will lead to sustainability, leadership, backward integration and focus on quality of our portfolio.
