Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director said noted that despite state-level lockdowns and supply chain challenges posed by Covid-19 in Q1 FY2022, the company delivered a strong all-round performance.

"As restrictions are lifted and normalcy resumes, month-on-month volumes indicate a positive trend and we are confident of an improved industry performance, led by Prestige & Above segment, in the coming quarters. I am pleased to report that after a solid performance last year, Radico Khaitan became the largest IMFL exporter out of India during Q1 FY2022," he added.-IANS
