at Schaeffler India. We went through many developments, sometimes, in less than
favorable circumstances. Despite facing economic headwinds, our balanced
business portfolio between Industrial and Automotive ensured we end the year on
a decent note. Our focused efforts toward cost management and cost flexing that
we were able to achieve, have helped our bottom line and we could protect our
margins. The external markets remain volatile but we are optimistic that 2020
will allow us to chart a better course as we prepare for the future.”
