<p>During the quarter, the company posted revenue of ₹30.68 billion (~$369.7 million), a YoY increase of 15% from ₹26.64 billion (~$321 million) fueled by the increased demand for lead-acid batteries.</p>
<p>Notable quantities were observed in both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket segments, showing significant growth compared to the previous quarter.</p>
<p>The company claims that the surge in the telecom sector played a pivotal role in driving volumes for industrial batteries, contributing to robust expansion. Within the New Energy business, the company commenced the provision of battery packs to meet the demands of the telecom sector.</p>

<p>The company said its performance in the quarter remained robust despite economic challenges. The transition post the name change was carried out smoothly, and the introduction of new products in their traditional battery business, along with expansion into new segments under the New Energy business, contributed to Amara Raja&#8217;s success.</p>
<p>Harshavardhana Gourineni, Executive Director, Automotive &amp; Industrial Batteries, said, “Our continuous growth inspires us to expand our product range. Recently, we launched our automotive lubricant business, which has gained significant traction. Additionally, we have strengthened our international operations by entering the North American market and securing a substantial order book.”</p>
