With the gradual opening of the economy, we saw pickup in the demand and OEMs production levels gained momentum anticipating festive sales. The plant operations team effectively handled the production ramp up despite the supply chain and labour availability challenges. The cost reduction measures and lower material prices helped in margin improvement. We remain cautiously optimistic about sustenance of the demand post festive season, said L. Ganesh, chairman, Rane Group.
