India 11th November, 2022:- Vishal Fabrics Limited (BSE: 538598) (NSE: VISHAL) announced its un-audited standalone financials for the second quarter and half year ended 30th September 2022.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Brijmohan Chiripal, Managing Director, said, “During the quarter, the overall demand scenario remained muted owing to ongoing economic challenges, volatile cotton prices and global inflationary pressures. As a result, our capacity utilization levels were on the lower side, impacting our margins negatively. We are ready to sail through these challenging times with a comfortable level of debt-equity ratio at 0.98x. Although the short-term headwinds may continue, we remain confident about the long-term growth prospects for the Indian textile sector as well as our capacity to raise utilization levels and get back the revenues at normalcy.”
