Management Comments:
In a statement, Mr. Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd. said, “The year has begun with a steady performance in our Synthetic cordage segment. Our V2 technology based products are seeing good customer acceptance and excellent order flow. However, we faced headwinds in our Fibre and Industrial P roducts & Projects segment wherein the general elections led to a slowdown in release of tenders by both government and private sector. Post-election, some of these key projects have now been tendered and awarded. We will be working hard to make up for the delay in Q3 and Q4.”
