The company said the pandemic outbreak and measures to contain it have caused significant disturbance and slowdown of economic activities.
Consequently, the company’s manufacturing operations had to be scaled down during the said quarter.
“Though the operations resumed in the later part of the quarter with limited availability of workforce and disrupted supply chain, the restrictions imposed adversely impacted the sales volume and realisation,” SAIL said.
