Despite operating at near-full capacity, the demand outpaced supply resulting in lower-than-normal inventories. Festival period of Navratri and Dussehra witnessed good footfalls, however sales even prior to that remained buoyant. The demand is driven fundamentally because of higher crop production, good crop prices, sufficient availability of water and easy availability of finance.
