Commenting on the performance, Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd. stated, â€œThe second quarter has seen a robust delivery in both revenue and profit propelled by our geo-synthetics and international business. There is also some inflationary effect due to the spurt in raw material prices this quarter as a result of increased crude prices. This has put some pressure on margins. However, we see this effect stabilizing over the coming months.â€
