• The segment hotels have been negatively affected in the year 2020. The profit derived under the sector shows a negative amount. It has earned a competitively lowest share of revenue and the share of capital employed is quite less than the 4^th segment of ITC. It has the lowest revenue amongst all the sectors. It earns the lowest returns on investment.
• The Agribusiness has earned the 2^nd largest share in the total revenue. However since the profit percentage is low, it seems that revenue has decreased. The sector has the lowest capital employed.
• Paperboards, paper, and packaging sector has received a regular, unaffected amount of revenue and profit. It has the 2^nd largest percentage of capital employed as well as return on investment.
