  • The company started commercial operations in its new RAC factory in Chennai and water dispenser line in Waghodia, enhancing its production capacity and strategic market reach.
Negative
  • The extraordinary demand due to extreme weather conditions has pressurized and disrupted supply chains across the industry.
  • Stock liquidation of non-QC inventory led to a slight drop in margin during the quarter.
  • Margins from retrofit jobs in the commercial air conditioning vertical were lower, which moderated the overall EBIT performance for the vertical.
  • Commodity prices have started to accelerate upwards, and USD-INR depreciation over the quarter has been detrimental to the profitability of the business.
  • The company faced challenges in the textile industry due to fluctuations in cotton and yarn exports, leading to reduced utilization levels and margins for its agency business.
