Mr. Gautam Seth, Joint Managing Director said, “During the quarter, we reported resilient financial performance along with an improvement in operating profitability, despite being faced with weak industry demand and a challenging economic environment. Our metering business continued to post robust growth backed by timely execution of orders.
On the product innovation front, we recently launched new innovative range of products in the lighting segment “The seven wonders” and new” TechnoN MCBs& DBs” in Switchgears. Both these product ranges have received very good dealer response. We also continued our focus on brand building by undertaking various marketing initiatives. Building upon our successful campaign with the Delhi Capitals Team in IPL, we have now tied-up with the “Haryana Steelers Pro Kabbadi Team”. We believe this gives us an effective platform to create strong brand visibility in the Tier 2 & 3 cities and rural areas enabling us to drive aggressive growth in these regions.
Going forward, we expect our lighting and metering segments to see strong growth on a sequential basis in Q2. We are also optimistic of seeing good traction across our business segments in the second half of this year as the economic conditions gradually improve. Further, the company is fully geared up to meet the Govt’s ambitious target of smart meters which can truly be a game changer providing enormous growth potential.
