We are preparing for the next emission norms for industrial engines as well. We recently launched the Optiprime and Optiprime hybrid genset series, marking our entry into the HHP (>1500kVA up to 3000kVA) range. We are receiving good enquiries for these products.

On the B2C front, our efforts to stabilize the business have led to improved segment margins as compared to last year. "
