Mr. C. S.

While this is likely to create pressure on demand for the short term, we see the situation easing out with the arrival of the new cotton crop on the back of a favorable monsoon. The approaching festive season and other positives like the China Plus Factor, Government initiatives to boost the industry, we expect the overall opportunity to remain intact. At Sutlej, despite the current dynamics, we reported a good quarter, although we are mindful of the challenging business environment and shall continue to consistently deliver on the back of our resilient business operations.”
