Nopany, Chairman, Sutlej Textiles and Industries Limited, said, “Overall performance of Sutlej in Q2 of FY 14 and 1st half of FY 14 is better as compared to corresponding previous year Q2 and 1st half. I am glad that Sutlej could achieve this performance despite increasing cost of raw-materials, wages, etc. due to better market conditions and continuous efforts to improve utilization and production and to minimize the cost. Going forward, macro-economic environment is uncertain on account of twin deficits, tight liquidity, persistent inflation and heightened volatility of the financial markets.”
