The company witnessed a rise of 46.5 percent year-on-year in its consolidated total income to Rs 4,045.8 crore for the quarter ended June 2022. Meanwhile, net profit rose around 42 percent year-on-year to Rs 374.5 crore.

Bhatia told CNBC-TV18: “So, quarterly basis this quarter, there's still an impact of the higher raw material prices, which is evident from YoY revenue growth of close to about 47 percent versus the volume growth of close to 16 percent”.

He said prices have come down off late, but a clear impact would be known in some time. “Crude has come down, and so will the polymer. But it is too early to guess,” he said.

Talking about the topline growth, Bhatia said the ramp-up to the new capacity addition had been pretty good, even in the first quarter. “We should be able to replicate those performances for the year as a whole, as export markets are also showing very promising signs,” he said.
