Informing about the current industry performance, Jain said, “Since the past two years, the government’s focus has been on ‘Power for All’. The governmental focus on power sector is unprecedented.”

Huge outlay by the Indian government on infrastructure, focus on reducing transmission and distribution (T&D) losses and electricity for all by 2022 entails huge government and private investment in segments such as smart cities, modernisation of railways, highways, digital India campaign and non-conventional power generation and ‘Power for All’ by 2022.

He adds, “Recently, the PM announced the Saubhagya scheme which entails every household in India to have an electric meter by 2022. For this to be a reality, just imagine the growth that is envisaged for the wire and cables segment.”

Our Railway contract wins have been especially heartening, in the last two quarters and we hope to outdo our wins in other segments too. This was reflected in our financials too. We closed the year 2016-17 at Rs 346.03 crore, up from Rs 271.39 crore in 2015-16. Again in the first quarter of this year, we clocked revenues of Rs 144.27 crore as against Rs 87.29 crore in Q1 2016-17.
