Outlook

The Indian economy is expected to maintain its recovery momentum as evidenced through the continuous uptick in High Frequency Indicators including GDP growth. Improved consumer and business sentiments, robust domestic demand conditions and improving tech enabled compliance demonstrated through record tax collections is expected to continue in the medium term.

The Government's continuing impetus on infrastructure development and domestic manufacturing is expected to further aid this recovery, create more employment and help build supply chain resilience. The results of growth-enhancing policies and schemes such as production-linked incentives and government’s push toward self-reliance will start yielding benefits auguring well for all economic constituents. Also, the several spillover effects of current geopolitical conflicts, coupled with timely policy measures could enhance India’s status as a stable investment destination, notwithstanding the interim volatility.

The continuing fluctuations in crude oil and other commodity prices owing to the current geopolitical uncertainties is leading to high input prices for industries and consumers. The resultant supply chain disruptions could pose a threat to the growth plans of the country in the short-term.

The Company with its detailed 5 year Strategic Plan (Lakshya’26), has chalked out a path for future value creation for its stakeholders. Lakshya’26 lays out a plan for pursuing profitable growth in its traditional businesses of EPC Projects and Manufacturing. The Group will look to expand the size and scale of its IT&TS portfolio. The Company will incubate digital offerings in data centers, tech education and B2B e-commerce. It also has plans to invest in the new areas of green energy. Aggressive plans are on to unlock value of its current investment in few non-core areas such as the concessions space.

The Company continues to focus on winning targeted orders in its EPC space, efficient execution of its large order book and capture the growth momentum in IT & TS portfolio. A robust Order Book, strong Balance Sheet, a well-diversified business portfolio and proven execution capabilities enable the Company to steer through the current challenging environment while retaining its leadership position.
