Profit After Tax (PAT) for the year saw a substantial increase of 231 per cent to Rs 66.7 crore in FY'24, against Rs 20.1 crore in FY'23.

"Revenue remained moderated primarily due to weak rural demand impacting batteries and flashlights, and industry-wide price deflation affecting the lighting segment. We believe this to be a temporary phenomenon, and we remain optimistic that FY25 will see a turnaround," Suvamoy Saha, Managing Director at Eveready Industries, said.
