Net sales for the quarter were recorded at Rs 147.79 crore, indicating a decrease of 6.63% from the prior quarter.

Furthermore, the company’s ability to manage interest payments is under pressure, with an operating profit to interest ratio of just 1.17 times, the lowest observed in five quarters. This situation suggests that Salona Cotspin is facing considerable operational and financial headwinds.
