Our focus on product innovation, portfolio expansion, and deeper market penetration continues to fuel consistent momentum. The successful relaunch of Castrol Activ and continued traction in rural markets have been key growth drivers and contributed meaningfully to our volume growth this quarter.”

The company follows the calendar year (January to December) for its financial reporting.
