Commenting on the quarter performance, Mr. Gautam Hari Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director, Raymond Limited said, “The quarter gone by was a difficult one as it was severely impacted by the second wave of pandemic. However, we were able to handle the situation better with past learnings and closed the quarter with higher revenues. The consumer sentiments were seen positive during the month of June with higher number of wedding dates.

We were able to maintain strong profitable momentum in our Engineering business as we focused on the exports as domestic market was impacted due to lockdown. Rapid construction in our Real Estate business is seen as trigger by our consumers and aided the topline. With vaccination drive gaining pace, we are cautiously optimistic of consumer demand picking up with upcoming festival and wedding season.”

Branded Textile segment sales at Rs. 283 Cr as compared to Rs. 17 Cr in previous year. The recovery was hampered due to local lockdowns across the country impacting the primary & secondary sales.

Retail Operations:

Garmenting segment sales at Rs. 98 Cr as compared to Rs. 100 Cr in previous year. The recovery was driven by gradual opening up of the global markets.
