Impact of COVID-19

The second wave of COVID-19 pandemic led to loss of human life and suffering worldwide. It presented an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the economy as a whole. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic was devastating.

Due to the large number of infections in India, several State Governments announced lockdowns in the first quarter of FY 2021-22 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This led to the curtailment of economic activity. Once lockdown restrictions were eased, the economy started witnessing a strong recovery.

The health and safety of its employees and stakeholders remained the top priority for the Company, with several initiatives to support employees and their families during the pandemic.
