Despite a few setbacks during the year like the API plant closure, higher interest costs, the weakening rupee which impacted the FCCB redemption and the fire accident at the R&D centre, it is satisfying that we are on a growth path and are confident of delivering value going forward" said Mr. K Raghavendra Rao, Chairman & Managing Director, Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
