Other information:

  • I. Reasons of loss or inadequate profits:

The Company had undertaken Route to Market (RTM) exercise to improve operational efficiencies in the Sales & Distribution area. The revenue growth in the major categories in which the Company operates remained either flat or delivered a low single digit growth. The lighting category continued to show value erosion due to value engineering across the industry. The Company also witnessed increase in key commodity prices like Zinc. In order to maintain leadership position within Battery, the investments continue behind brands and promotions. In view of the above, the Company was behind their planned operating profit for the year.

  • II. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement & expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:

RTM exercise is behind us and it is expected to derive the benefits going forward and thereby gain revenue momentum. The Company continues to invest in expanding distribution reach and scale up innovations and adjacencies. The commodity hedging strategies of the Company would further help to neutralize any major material cost inflations. The Company would also take up cost savings initiatives to support margin expansion. Basis the above, the Company would be able to increase productivity and profits.
