The closure currently impacts only the Water Park operations at Khopoli and does not affect other business segments of the company.

The company stated that operations will remain suspended until the water situation improves. At present, the timeline for the resumption of operations has not been determined and will depend on future water availability in the region.
Management added that it will continue to monitor developments closely and provide updates regarding the reopening of the facility as the situation evolves.
