Textile firm Arvind Ltd on Monday reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 97.31 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020, on account of lower income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 24.39 crore in April-June quarter a year ago.

As a result of the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the volumes for the current quarter were impacted.

"Therefore, the results for the current quarter is not comparable with the previous corresponding period results," it added.

Arvind Ltd said its revenues have started recovering after plunging in April. June/July revenues have reached 55-60 percent levels of previous year.
