"Opening up more stores in various states over the next few months shall further strengthen our presence in these geographies going ahead. While the economy came to a near stand-still following the outbreak of coronavirus in April, things have begun to look better over the past few months.

"We remain optimistic that the pick-up in real estate and other construction-related activities will boost demand for tiles and other products going ahead," Nitco Managing Director Vivek Talwar said.

The company managed to turn the tide from July 2020 onwards and managed three-fold improvement in sales volume during the second quarter after a sluggish first quarter owing to the lockdown.
