Its total income for the quarter under review declined from Rs 21.8 crore to Rs 20.6 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal. The drop in revenue could be due to lower than the estimated output of tea and coffee coupled with lower rupee realizations.

 

There was also a decrease in the volume in the production of many of its products like instant coffee due to various factors including unseasonal rain.

In a separate filing, the company also said that the re-appointment of Chacko Purackal Thomas as Executive Director and Deputy CEO of the company has been approved by its Board of Directors for a period of 3 years.

"Based on the recommendation of the nomination and remuneration committee, the Board of Directors approved the re-appointment of Chacko Purackal Thomas as Executive Director & Deputy CEO of the company for a period of 3 years with effect from August 4, 2018," it said.
