According to a report by PTI, India's power consumption grew steadily to 126.12 billion units (BU) in March, increasing by 4.6 per cent year-on-year. The surge in power consumption reflects the impact of early onset of summers and easing of lockdown restrictions by states.

AWL enjoys market-leading positions across kitchen essentials: branded edible oil, wheat flour, rice, etc., with a large household reach. Its growth strategy is premised on scaling up market share in existing categories, diversification into more FMCG segments, the pursuit of strategic acquisitions (widening product/geographic reach) and an improved margin/return profile over the medium term.
