Ashwath Ram, Managing Director, Cummins India Limited, said:

Nationwide lockdown for most of the quarter and other containment/ precautionary measures have resulted into drop in demand in India and around the world as well as unprecedented disruptions to the supply chain and dispatches to customers.

The Company resumed partial operations from second week of May’20 in a gradual manner in compliance with the guidelines issued by State and local government authorities.

Anticipating potential disruptions, the company took some proactive actions to minimize supply chain disruptions and stabilize operations by end of June.

As the Company operations were significantly impacted in April and May, operations for the quarter to that extent may be viewed accordingly.

The Company continues to take actions to prudently manage cost as well as to conserve cash. The Company has a strong balance sheet and believes it can manage the ongoing business slow down effectively.

The Company continues to monitor the situation closely and is taking all actions to ensure the safety and security of its employees and facilities. The company continues to serve customers and other stakeholders in these difficult business conditions.  

Future Outlook: –

The Company expects gradual recovery of demand in coming months. However, there remains significant uncertainty around how COVID-19 will impact market demand as well as customer and supplier operations. Due to this uncertainty the Company is not providing a full year revenue guidance for FY 2021.
