It said that thechemists channel witnesseddouble-digit growth of about11 per cent in the June quartercompared to the Marchquarter.

Food, homecare productsIt added that this was due to adiverse categories of foodsand homecare products be-ing sold through pharmacies.

Companies such as Bisleri,Dabur India and Godrej Con-sumer Products have in re-cent times said that they haveramped up their presence inchemist channel.

Angelo George, CEO, BisleriInternational had told Busi-nessLine last month, “Duringthe pandemic, we focused onexpanding our distributioncoverage at pharmacies.

“During the pandemicwaves, in some States this wasthe only channel that was al-lowed to operate through theday. Now, we have built signi-fi�cant coverage at pharmaciesand we are continuing tostrengthen this further. Whileour packaged water productsare being sold at various phar-macies, we are also leveragingon this channel to expand thereach of our hand sanitisers.”

In its annual report, DaburIndia stated that it in FY 20-21,the company increased itschemist coverage by around17,000 outlets.

Kolkata-based Titagarh Wagons,one of the largest wagon-makersin the country, scripted a turn-around in its Italian operations –with the subsidiary turningEBITDA positive – while it looks at“internationalisation” of itsfreight wagon business by tar-geting new export markets suchas Africa and Australia.

According to Umesh Chowd-hary, Vice-Chairman and Man-aging Director, Titagarh Wagons,a reduction in loss-making leg-acy contracts of the Italian entity(Titagarh Firema SPA Italy)helped it turn profi�table at theEBITDA-level after fi�ve quarters oflosses. Nearly 80-90 per cent ofthese – which the company hadto deliver at the time of acquisi-

tion of the subsidiary – arealready through. Delivery of theremaining 10-20 per cent is ex-pected to be completed in Q2and Q3 of FY22. “Italian opera-tions had a turnover of €22-23million in Q1FY22. We are expect-ing a similar run-rate for the fullyear, say around €100 million.While August is seen as a slowermonth as it is the holiday seasonin Italy, I believe, the full year out-look is still positive in terms oforders. We expect operations tobe EBITDA positive, provided thepandemic does not derail plans,”he told BusinessLine.

The company has already wonorders for Sicily Metro and deliv-eries are expected in September-October. It will also participate inupcoming tenders in Europeand the African region, Chowd-

hary said. Titagarh’s order bookstands at around ₹�5,000 crore;with nearly ₹�2,400-2,500 crorecoming from Italian operations.
