Commenting on the order, Jitendra Kumar Agarwal, joint managing director, Genus Power Infrastructure said: "The order wins give lot of visibility to our revenues for the next few quarters. It also signals a strong start to order inflow for our industry. Genus is a leader in the smart meter business in India and the structural changes in the Industry, strong digitization eco-system created by the Government of India and improving efficiency of the SEB's, will lead to a sustainable growth for Genus in times to come. We are particularly pleased to add orders in the upcoming segment of Gas Meters which will diversify our orderbook. The orders of the Exports segment are also lucrative as they come with better margin profile and cashflows. Going forward, we expect the tendering activity to pick up and increase the pace of execution."
