The macroeconomic fundamentals of the Indian economy remain resilient despite global headwinds marked by geo-political tensions, evolving trade policy dynamics and heightened uncertainty & volatility in the operating environment.

High frequency indicators for the quarter suggest mixed trends. Buoyancy in agriculture & service sector, moderating inflation and rural wage growth are some of the key positives; on the other hand, industrial growth, automobile sales, credit growth and electricity & fuel consumption remain subdued. Rural demand continued to demonstrate resilience; expectations of a normal monsoon and kharif crop sowing trends augur well for the rural economy. Early signs of recovery in urban consumption demand were visible during the quarter.

Lower inflation, reduction in interest rates & liquidity support by RBI, tax cuts announced in the recent Union Budget along with front loading of Government expenditure are expected to bolster the growth momentum going forward.

Amidst a challenging operating environment as stated above, the Company delivered resilient performance during the quarter. Gross Revenue[3] stood at Rs. 20,911 crores representing a robust growth of 20% YoY . PBT and PAT stood at Rs. 6,545 crores and Rs. 4,912 crores respectively.
