Commenting on the results, Mr Subhrakant Panda, Managing Director said: “The threat of global recession and persistent inflation have had a negative impact on commodity prices; ferro chrome is no exception in this regard. Moreover, high input costs which carried over have impacted margins; however, the advantage of being fully integrated and debt free is reflected in the reported results. Though geo-political developments and supply chain disruptions continue to cast a shadow, there is a trend reversal in ferro chrome prices and certain input costs are also coming down. As such, we expect an improved performance going ahead.”
