"The challenging domestic business environment continued post demonetisation well into Q4 of FY2017. The industry did start witnessing a slow revival of demand along with increase in raw material prices towards the end of Q4. Strong foreign currency inflows and the consequential strengthening of INR has put a dampener on exports creating more uncertainty. It is expected that margins would continue to be under pressure during H1 of 2018," said CS Nopany, executive chairman, Sutlej Textiles and Industries Ltd. (KD)
