Commenting on the companys performance, Sajjan Bhajanka, chairman, Century Plyboards(I) Ltd said, "This has been an excellent set of results. It has been a difficult and challenging business environment for all manufacturers across the country but I think our foray into particle board and MDF has shown phenomenal results." PTI DC BDC BDC.
