The company achieved net sales (net of excise) of Rs 73,338 million during the third quarter of 2009-10. This is an increase of 62.5 per cent as compared to third quarter 2008-09. Net Profit during the Q3 of 2009-10 was Rs 6,875 million, an increase of 221.9 per cent compared to the same quarter in previous year. The results of the quarter have to be seen in the context of the low base in the same quarter in fiscal 2008-09.

Commodity prices were favorable for a major part of the last quarter but started to harden in the last few weeks. During the quarter, exports, led by the A-star, continued to be strong.
