Continued focus on cost rationalisation:

Commenting on the quarter performance, Gautam Hari Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director, Raymond, said, “With consumer sentiments getting better on a sustained weekly basis, there is a rebound in consumer demand which is evident by increased footfalls in our retail stores. Our focused approach on cost optimisation and operational efficiency has helped us navigate through tough times and maintain both our liquidity and net debt levels. Our other businesses such as engineering, FMCG and real estate are also getting back on track and showing positive signs of revival. As we move in the second half of the current financial year, I am hopeful that the economy will improve with tailwinds giving businesses the impetus for recovery.”
