Govt Enforces ‘Melt and Pour’ Rule for All Steel in Public Projects Nippon Steel expected to finalize U.S. Steel acquisition at $55 per share NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
Battery maker Eveready Industries India reported a 55% jump in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, helped by diminishing input costs. Lithium prices, a key raw material for battery makers, were down in the quarter, helping offset beleaguered rural demand for batteries and flashlights.
Eveready’s total expenses fell almost 9% to ₹2.95 billion, led by a 29% decline in raw material costs. As a result, consolidated net profit rose to ₹84.1 million ($1 million) in the three months to December 31.
The softness in prices of battery-making metals also helped Amara Raja Energy & Mobility and Exide Industries post profit climbs in the third quarter. While the two also make batteries, Amara Raja and Exide cater more to automobile and industrial needs while Eveready’s products are for household use.
Eveready’s revenue, however, fell almost 8% to ₹3.05 billion. “The pattern of softer rural consumption in key battery-flashlight segments and continuing industry phenomenon of value diminution in the lighting segment reflected the third-quarter performance,” the company said in a statement.
