Management Comments :
 Mr. Ramesh Ramadurai, Managing Director of 3M India, said “the Company delivered 14.3% sales growth in the first quarter versus Q1 prior year. The Company delivered broad-based growth across all four business segments. For the quarter, Healthcare and Consumer segments grew by 20% each, Safety & Industrial grew by 11.9% and Transportation & Electronics grew by 11.2% versus prior year. We are encouraged with the sales growth in Q1 FY 25-26, even after allowing for a softer comparison with Q1 FY 24-25. These results also reflect early traction from the sales and marketing investments the Company made since the middle of the previous financial year to improve our market penetration and commercial excellence. The Company’s profit after tax grew 13.1% to INR 178 crores. The increase in expenses were mitigated by efficiencies in material cost. I thank our teams for their disciplined execution during the quarter, and for maintaining a strong customer focus."
