Avik Roy, managing director & chief executive officer, said, 'Financial year 2024-25 was characterised by tough macroeconomic conditions, resulting in lower capex and investments across sectors. In this environment, our focus remained on delivering stable performance along with maintaining strong balance sheet and positive cash flow generation profile, thereby establishing our resilience and ability to navigate business challenges. During the year, while the overall sales increased marginally, we maintained double-digit growth momentum in auto replacement, industrial UPS and solar verticals. However, auto OEMs and industrial verticals were impacted by lower demand. In the international business, we entered newer geographies to increase global presence and market share. We expect overall demand scenario to improve going ahead and will continue to focus on driving sales and achieving cost efficiencies. Additionally, our year long program on cost excellence, organizational transformation, and investment in manufacturing technology has started showing results from March onwards. In our lithium-ion cell manufacturing project, construction work is going on in full swing to ensure timely project completion. We intend to commercialise operations in FY26.'
