Exide Industries is placing a strong emphasis on its core segment, Storage Batteries and Allied Products.

Commenting on the performance - Mr. Avik Roy, MD & CEO, said: 'Our operating profitability remains steady with EB/TOA and PBT margins of 11. 7% and 8.5%, respectively, in the current quarter, benefitting from relatively stable commodity prices and focus on cost excellence. Although overall sales remained flattish in the quarter, attributable to a slowdown in govt. capex and other macroeconomic factors, we observed promising growth in the auto replacement and auto exports market segments.
