Commenting on the results, Prashant Panday, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, ENIL, said, “Q1 was a forgettable quarter. All the top advertising categories on radio recorded de-growth. The biggest advertiser – the Central Government – cut its advertising by nearly 35% compared to last year. In large part, the poor results of the quarter can be attributed to the lingering effects of demonetisation, the roll-out of RERA (Real Estate Regulation Act) and run-up to GST in June. We believe this is a temporary slowdown and business should return to normal from September, when the festive season sets in. On the positive side, our new stations and our non-radio verticals have done well during the quarter.”
