The company posted an impressive net profit of ₹70.94 crore, marking a substantial 77.44% increase compared to ₹39.98 crore in the same quarter last year.

He expressed optimism about the company's outlook, anticipating continued growth across its business segments. Bhajanka highlighted that the medium-term prospects for the building materials and interior solutions industry remain positive, supported by factors such as increasing urbanisation, rising disposable incomes, and a growing consumer preference for premium, branded products.

Impact: This news is highly positive for Century Plyboards (India) Ltd., likely leading to increased investor confidence and potentially a rise in its stock price.
