Hyderabad: Battery major Amara Raja Batteries Limited on Monday reported a net profit of Rs 660.82 crores for the financial year 2019-20, registering a growth of 37 per cent from Rs 483.49 crore net profit a year ago.

The earnings per share (EPS) for Q4FY20 was at Rs 8. The company said its Automotive Business Division had substantially overcome the demand slowdown in auto OEM segment aided by significant traction in volume growth in domestic replacement market and exports under challenging market conditions.
"In spite of market disruptions towards the year end due to the Covid-19 induced lockdown restrictions, the automotive brands continued strong growth momentum across vehicle segments.
However, growth in home UPS segment has been moderate as the seasonal demand for inverter batteries was severely impacted by the lockdown restrictions in March," the company said.
Jayadev Galla, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Amara Raja, said, "FY20 saw us performing strongly against odds in the overall business environment and helped us emerge stronger.
The automotive sector is dealing with a lot of challenges due to regulatory changes, technology shifts and demand uncertainty due to lockdown".
