Profit after tax (PAT) was shot up to Rs.101 lakhs, which was Rs. 29 lakhs for the corresponding period last year.This is mainly due to better product mix, which company could fetch in this quarter.

contributing factor coupled with other avenues explored by the company, said Mr. Vinod Poddar, Chairman & Managing Director of the company.
