Our focus on volume and value growth continues, and we remain confident in sustaining this momentum through the rest of the year, supported by a seasonally stronger second half. Additionally, we aim to maintain healthy EBITDA margins and bottom-line performance as we register growth in volumes and revenue.

During the period, our core wire ropes division performed strongly, despite a traditionally softer quarter due to monsoon. The division recorded an impressive 18.5% growth in volumes and a 19.2% increase in revenue. With the expanded capacities, our teams across domestic and international markets are well-positioned to drive sales of high-quality wire ropes for critical applications. This should enable us to capture greater market share globally while consistently meeting clients' rigorous standards and remaining focused on delivering dependable solutions across essential sectors.

As we move forward, our future capex initiatives are set to position us strongly to meet the needs of an evolving market and sustain our growth. The Company remains committed to advancing its strategic priorities, including enhancing value-added offerings, diversifying the product portfolio, modernizing plant operations and expanding global distribution and marketing efforts. With a robust portfolio and the inherent strengths of Usha Martin, we are confident in our ability to drive long-term growth and capitalize on emerging opportunities in the coming years.”
