The sales volume is, however, lower by 11% as compared to 481,115 tons recorded in Q2 FY21.
The company said that the sequential recovery in sales volume in Q2 FY22 was on account of the picking up of construction activity after the second wave of COVID-19, which had hit the country in Q1 FY22. However, the extended monsoons in Q2 FY22 impacted the construction activity to some extent.
The company focused on increasing the sale of its value-added products in the challenging environment. Accordingly, the value-added product portfolio contributed 62% in Q2 FY22 as compared to 57% in FY21.
