The remarkable jump in profits is reflected in the earning per share of the company which has increased from Rs1.42 per share in 1HFY21 to Rs4.39 per share in 1HFY22.

This swing in profitability is due to strong volumetric sales and robust expansion in the company’s other income.

During the period under review, the company witnessed notable growth in its top line as it went up by 52.54%YoY to Rs26.62bn due to a massive jump in offtakes. Resultantly, the gross margins expanded from 11% to 13%.
