“In the agribusiness, overall sentiments were mixed last quarter as markets with good rainfall and crop prices showed good momentum, and markets with a delayed monsoon had a slightly dampened demand. Going forward, with further advancement of monsoon across the country, adequate reservoir levels, better liquidity, and consumer credit availability, we expect the demand momentum to improve,” Chairman and Managing Director Nikhil Nanda said.

The demand for construction machinery is still buoyant and post-monsoon, we expect the momentum to further accelerate. Railway business, with innovative products and expanded portfolio, is well aligned with growing requirements of rail transport both on the domestic and international front and continues to grow,” he added.
