The quarter played out in a mixed but gradually stabilizing demand environment.
The alkaline batteries in India will be at par with the zinc premium batteries in India.
We are poised with a full momentum to grow and to deliver premiumizations and that premiumization could help us to get the margin.
The very movement allows some amount of margin decompression to happen. And as the plant starts improving in its overall production and absorbs those overheads, the margins will continue to improve over the next few years.
Given the kind of cost pushes that we are seeing and especially the last month of cost ambiguity... If this ambiguity continues over this quarter as well, we may then need to look at the pricing again somewhere in quarter two.
We are currently holding about 16% market share and about a year back it was less than 10%. So we will continue to grow in that direction. My sense is sometime you know exit of next year we should be looking at exiting with 20% share.
