Performance Overview

- Despite softer metering revenues in the quarter, the Metering & Systems segment improved its EBIT margins to approximately 17.5%, attributed to pricing discipline, procurement efficiencies, and a richer product mix favouring smart meters.
- The company maintains a strong multi-year revenue visibility with a significant order book of over 3,300 crore, of which approximately 99% comprises smart meters, primarily driven by the nationwide smart metering and RDSS opportunity.
