Management Guidance
Management remains focused on turnkey EPC solutions in the T&D sector, leveraging backward integration to maintain industry-leading returns despite capital-intensive operations.
Sentiment Shift
Stable
While quarterly margins and profits saw pressure from one-off statutory costs and high interest, the full-year trajectory remains robust with significant new capex and global expansion.
