“I am pleased with our performance in the last fiscal with Operating revenue of Rs 19,440 mn which was impacted due to reduced demand caused by the Covid situation while margins and net profits perked up due to improved sales realisations and cost reductions,” said Dodla Sunil Reddy, Managing Director, Dodla Dairy.
