Could you shed some light on your portfolio of electrical appliances?
We deal with a spectrum of air coolers. Since they are seasonal products, we have only six months of time to meet the demands of our customers and deliver them on-time. Hence we procure the raw materials at the right time and stock them, so that we do not have to hurry once the customer places the order.
