Anant J. Talaulicar, Chairman & Managing Director, Cummins India Limited said, "Exports declined 28 percent sequentially due to slowing down of global demand, and domestic sales dropped 7 percent primarily due to a slowdown in the power generation market. Margins were however maintained sequentially despite a significant leverage loss mainly due to increased focus on improving cost efficiencies. Margins also improved by 3.6 points over the same quarter last year primarily on account of favorable mix and cost reduction.

As economic uncertainties across the globe continue to pose growth challenges, we are focusing aggressively on implementing measures to counter the dampened demand. While our growth prospects in the short-term have been affected, the Company continues to be strongly positioned to resume growth upon revival of the markets. The Company is continuing to invest in critical technologies geared towards serving our customers dependably."
