Batteries and flashlights major Eveready Industries India Ltd NSE 6.02 % on Friday said the proliferation of various battery-operated medical equipment is expected to give a fillip to battery demand, while the flashlight segment will remain steady on the back of the revival of rural economy from the adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic. The company continues to witness steady demand in its categories of batteries and flashlights as there is a “sharp decrease in dumped imports from China and an overall strong demand in expectation of a near-normal monsoon”, Eveready Industries India Ltd said in a regulatory filing.
