The company's India and Middle East delivered sustainable growth, while Europe and Brazil saw a return to green this quarter. However, the performance in US, Australia and South-East Asia markets remained subdued, the management said.
In addition, sales for the company’s automotive garage equipment business over last year's base also came along the management's expectations. Looking ahead, Elgi Equipments expects Q4 to turn out to be better than normal, largely driven by the return of year end demand.
