Suyog Kotecha, chief executive officer and executive director, said: We have begun FY27 with encouraging momentum, delivering healthy growth despite a dynamic global operating environment. Our performance reflects the strength of our diversified portfolio, disciplined execution and our ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions while continuing to serve customers seamlessly across geographies. While these disruptions affected Q1 volumes, we expect volumes to recover in Q2 as demand scenarios improve.
During the quarter, we effectively managed geopolitical disruptions by leveraging our global market presence and operational flexibility. At the same time, we continued to advance our strategic growth agenda, with key expansion projects progressing as planned and customer engagements across new platforms gaining momentum.
Our ability to manage inventory and global supply chain insulated us from a significant raw material deficit and supported better pricing with customers. While near-term macroeconomic uncertainties continue to persist, the fundamentals of our business remain strong. Our focus remains on executing our growth roadmap, improving operational efficiency, strengthening customer partnerships and creating sustainable long-term value. With our strategic investments nearing completion and new capacities expected to come on stream, we are well positioned to capture future opportunities and drive profitable growth.
