Leadership Comment:
Mr. Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman – MPL and Founder Chairman,
AM International, Singapore said:
“MPL’s positive performance against a backdrop of continued macroeconomic volatility demonstrates the solidity of its business model. The company’s financials have been affected by both raw material price hikes and lower demand due to competition from imports. As we advance, I am confident that our efforts towards eco-friendly production will enhance our value creation efforts for all stakeholders.”
Mr. Ravi, MD of MPL and CEO, Petrochemicals Division of AM International Group said that after a couple of yearsof historically best performances, the first quarter of the new Financial year has been affected by lower demand and increased imports. Besides lower volume of sales, the prices have been witnessing a downtrend, stage for which was set towards the end of the preceding quarter. Due to the global conditions, mainly the Russia-Ukraine stand-off and Chinese lockdowns, input costs have also been going up. So, the performance of MPL has not been as good as it was earlier. The Management is monitoring the situation closely, and all required actions are taken to sustain the performance.
