Siemens India's new orders rose 37.8% year on year to Rs 6,228 crore, while its order backlog increased 12% to Rs 47,034 crore. Brokerages see infrastructure spending and private sector capex supporting growth, but flag commodity and foreign exchange pressures on margins.

Siemens India's order pipeline continues to strengthen, with infrastructure spending and higher private sector capital expenditure driving fresh orders. The growing backlog provides visibility for future revenue, while demand for data centres, renewables and industrial electrification offers additional opportunities. However, higher commodity costs and foreign exchange volatility remain concerns for operating profitability.

Brokerages broadly see the order momentum as supportive of medium-term growth. UBS retained Buy with a target price of Rs 4,850, while CLSA and Nomura raised their targets to Rs 3,944. HSBC, Macquarie and Citi maintained Neutral or Hold ratings, pointing to margin pressures and uneven performance across business segments.
