Ashwath Ram, Managing Director, Cummins India Limited, said, “Indian economy continues to remain resilient despite geopolitical events and other economic events impacting the growth of various countries. Key economic indicators like GDP growth rate of 7.6% and consistent PMI indicate optimism about continued growth. Robust tax collections are indicating underlying growth in economic activities. The Indian Government’s continued focus on infrastructure and higher allocation in the interim budget is driving growth in end markets of interest for the company. At the same time, internationally, geopolitical risks and conflicts continue to pose uncertainty about global trade and supply chain disruptions.”
“The company recorded another year of record revenue and profit, driven by strong demand from the domestic market while export market demand was soft. The Company launched the CPCB IV+ range of products, which were very well received by customers. The company continues to have a strong balance sheet and liquidity and is well-positioned to support its operations and growth plans.”
Future outlook
The investment in infrastructure (Public and Private) and broader economic growth continue to drive profitable growth for the company. Concerning the Powergen Market, CPCB II products can be sold until June 30, 2024. Consequently, the market will see a demand shift 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.
Exports might see an impact in the near term due to global economic uncertainties. 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. Also, the company has a diversified portfolio of products and is striving for a recovery in exports, the company said in a media release.
