We are aligned to government advisories and will ensure taking all the precautions and preventions at our facilities. There is a serious impact on the industry and respective business operations and it will take some time to regain normalcy. This quarter reflects partial impact but we are preparing ourselves to set new norms through reinventing, innovating and digitizing our ways to engage and connect stakeholders for the business operations ahead even as the uncertainty of affairs still exist. There would be a lot of dependency on the flexibilities and policies that will be issued by the government for the sectors and the aid offered to support the farming community to sustain their essentials and requirements. Good harvest, increased procurement by respective governments and their focussed support to farming & prediction of normal monsoon will enable quick revival across farm ecosystem. We are optimistic for the coming quarters and hope that the collective efforts will help in containing the crisis and the Indian economy will be on its strength soon again.”
