Commenting on the Q3 FY23 performance of the company Mr. Rohan Sehgal, Whole Time Director for Tarsons, said: “Our revenues for Q3FY23 were lower by 13% on a YoY basis, this decline was majorly attributable to external macro-economic factors & overall slow down in the life science industry. Impact on revenues was also on account of high base of covid related revenues in FY22, which was replaced by our conventional business to a significant extent in the current financial year.
Due to political uncertainty and growing recessionary trends, our export revenues declined by 17% during the quarter and remained flat for 9MFY23. These are difficult times for not only our industry, but for the entire world, and we are standing firm and attempting to sail through these challenging times.
Our capacity expansion is proceeding smoothly, and commissioning is scheduled for Q2FY24. These capabilities would propel the company's next phase of expansion, which would include the addition of high-value products, which would further strengthen the "Tarsons" brand.
We believe that these market conditions are temporary in nature and in the long term we see the plastic labware market continue to grow both domestically and internationally and so will Tarsons.”
