The company has achieved this upgrade after 3 years of sustained improvement in all financial and business metrics. The upgrade reflects the improvement in the business risk profile of the group driven by higher revenue in fiscal 2022 backed by enhanced demand from the exports market, introduction of new products under health care segment and increased revenue composition under own brand.

It has established itself as a leading manufacturer of personal safety and fall protection safety equipment with strong brand recall.
 
Despite sluggish demand and lockdown restrictions during the first quarter, revenue posted a 50% year-on-year growth and expected more than Rs 700 crore in fiscal 2022.
