Despite robust gross margins, Ebitda margins remained under pressure owing to elevated freight costs. On account of delay in order finalisation and deferment in ordering particularly in T&D space, order inflows declined 21% YoY.

As on Q1 FY23 order book stands at ~Rs 237 billion (1.6 times trailing twelve months revenue), providing revenue visibility for next few quarters.
