Business Update and Challenges

During Q4FY26, the company experienced temporary logistical disruptions in global shipping routes, leading to deferment of around 170-180 export containers and higher freight costs due to rerouting of certain GCC shipments. To mitigate these incremental costs, the company has initiated claims under the government-backed ECGC 'Relief' framework.

Despite these short-term challenges, demand across key international markets including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, US, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and Far East regions remains strong.

On the domestic front, the company continues to strengthen the distribution network of its flagship 'Maharani' brand across major Indian cities.
