Commenting on the results Mr Subhrakant Panda, Managing Director & CEO, IMFA said, “The tough business environment is reflected in the subdued numbers for the quarter.

There is a slight recovery underway in the ferro chrome market and larger volumes going ahead will help us post better results. We remain confident about the robustness of our business model and inherent competitive strength.”
