Going ahead, L&T anticipates that both public and private capital investment will support India’s economic growth momentum in the medium term.
“India’s growth momentum is likely to continue in the medium term backed by the sustained strength in domestic demand, easing of inflationary pressures, focused fiscal spending by the government and a strong manufacturing revival through new age greenfield investments and brownfield expansion across sectors,” the business stated in a filing with the stock exchange.
But even with the anticipated robust growth momentum at home, L&T anticipates a decrease in order inflows from outside markets.
