The company said its board of directors has recommended a dividend of 1,500 per cent (Rs 15 per share of face value Re 1 each).

On the outlook, Berry told PTI, “We have witnessed slowdown in market place in the recent months, however, this should get neutralised with a favourable monsoon forecast and stable government post elections.”

In line with the organisation goals, the company has also set up strategic business units for Adjacent Bakery, dairy and international business, he added.
