Below is RK Agarwal's interview with Ekta Batra and Reema Tendulkar of CNBC-TV18.

Ekta: What incremental upside do you expect from elections in terms of print revenues coming for Jagran and would Q4 of this fiscal and Q1 of FY15 show an incremental upside on advertising revenues because of that?

A: General elections are beneficial for us, no doubt about that. As far as bump is concerned, I expect around 2-3 percent bump maybe next year.

Reema: In FY15 with this election increasing your ad revenues by about 2-3 percent, what could be the ad rate growth in FY15?

A: Current year, which is ending in next one month, is far better than previous year. We will improve our ad growth rate which is going to be in the range of about 12-13 percent for the current year.

Ekta: What about the margins? You did 24 percent in the previous quarter, how much better can you do in this quarter in particular?

A: In this particular quarter our margins may not be better than Q3. However, going forward, in 2014-2015 we expect margins to be better by at least 200 basis points.

Reema: What could be the revenue growth expectations for FY15?

A: Revenue growth should be in the range of about 13-14 percent.
