Ashish Bansal, managing director, I am delighted to share that POCL has delivered its best-ever performance in FY25, achieving record Revenue, EBITDA, and PAT, with growth of 33%, 39%, and 65%, respectively. This was driven by strong operational execution and increased volumes across Lead, Copper, and Plastic.
