Ashwath
Ram, Managing Director, Cummins India Limited, said:
Indian economy continues to
be resilient despite global geopolitical uncertainties impacting the business
sentiment globally. Indian economic outlook continues to be positive; tax
collections are indicating the strength of underlying business activities. The
latest Union budget emphasized the government’s continued focus on
infrastructure development and continued higher budgetary allocation for
infrastructure, special projects for end-to-end connectivity for ports, coal,
steel, and fertilizer sectors. At the same time, internationally, geopolitical
risks and conflicts continue to pose uncertainty about global trade and supply
chain disruptions.
For the quarter ending June
30, 2024, CIL domestic revenue was driven by strong domestic demand from all
segments especially from the industrial sector. Powergen revenue was expectedly
softer considering the sunsetting of CPCB II norms on June 30, 2024. Exports
revenue grew 13% over the prior quarter due to an improvement in demand from
the end markets.
Future
Outlook:
The investment in
infrastructure (Public and Private) and broader economic growth continue to
drive profitable growth for the company. For the Powergen sector, there is a
complete switchover to CPCB IV+ emission norms-compliant products effective
July 1, 2024. The company has a strong portfolio of CPCB IV+ emission
norms-compliant products to meet customer demand across the entire product
range. We remain cautiously optimistic about the demand outlook for the near
term and optimistic about the long-term growth prospects.
Regarding exports, the
company closely monitors the results of geopolitical events unfolding in
different parts of the world and their impact on global demand and supply
chains. With a diversified portfolio of products, the company remains
optimistic about the export demand.
