The company recently announced its entry into the mosquito protection business with the launch of Eveready ULTIMA Liquid Vaporiser, India’s first portable liquid vaporiser. The launch marks another step in Eveready’s strategy of diversifying into relevant consumer categories by leveraging its established expertise in portable power to address evolving everyday needs.  

The insecticide market is currently valued at more than INR 5,000 crore, with liquid vaporisers accounting for approximately INR 2,800 crore, with the products from Godrej and Allout offering plug-in products.  Eveready's new portable product will give consumers the flexibility to use it anywhere as per their choice, both inside the house and carry it with them in cars and places of travel.   The company has a strong network of their own outlets and distributors channel will help push the product across India.  They are also planning to sell through online and e-commerce platforms..

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Anirban Banerjee, chief executive officer, Eveready Industries India Ltd., said: “Eveready has always been in the business of bringing power and convenience to consumers, and our portfolio has evolved as their needs have changed. Our entry into mosquito protection is a natural extension of this approach, allowing us to bring our expertise in portable and rechargeable power into a new category.”
