Export markets contributed 14% of total revenue, with continued demand for Euro V+ engines and CPCB IV+ compliant generator sets.
Greaves Electric Mobility (GEML) generated ₹137 crore in revenue during the quarter, primarily driven by sales of the Magnus Neo electric scooter, which has gained market traction since its launch. The company attributed the performance to growing consumer interest in electric mobility solutions.
