According to Business Standard, the quarterly results reflect challenging market conditions for the paper and boards manufacturer. The double-digit decline in both profit and sales indicates operational pressures that affected the company's financial performance during the June 2026 quarter. However, the company's strong full-year performance with 80% profit growth and 10.7% revenue increase demonstrates resilience and recovery momentum in the paper industry.
