Anant J. Talaulicar, Chairman & Managing Director, Cummins India Limited, said, "The Company benefited from domestic market recovery. This was largely the impact of momentum arising from Government actions to increase investments as well as improve infrastructure. Capitalizing on this recovery with new product introductions and a strong focus on customers, the Company has grown domestic sales for the year ended March 31, 2016. For the full year, our profitability declined marginally owing to weak demand from export markets. We generated significant cash. Our balance sheet remains strong. Disciplined and judicious investments in new products, technology capabilities in our new upcoming technical center and people development position the Company to continue to deliver profitable growth in the future.

Our earnings this quarter declined over the same quarter last year as export markets declined 30 percent, although we continued to drive significant cost reduction activities. Even as exports demand from around the world remains sluggish, given the positive

domestic outlook we remain confident about the future growth prospects of the Company and its ability to continue generating positive results".
