Profitability for the quarter was impacted by the unprecedented increase in raw material prices, the company said in a statement.
Net sales rose 9.3% to Rs 620.52 crore in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, driven by growth in volume.

The company wrote back current taxes worth Rs 1.06 crore during the quarter.
