It is still premature to definitively state whether this segment has conclusively turned around. Our customers faced reduced demand in the domestic smart meters business resulting in lower business for PML. This contributed to a lower top line in Q3. A notable recent development, although after Q3 closing, was the licensing agreement with REL Developments Limited, United Kingdom to acquire the know-how and technical information for manufacturing and selling 'Latching Relays' within and outside India. This is a strategic development in our meters business segment.'
