Mr. Vimal Kejriwal, MD & CEO of KEC International Ltd. commented, “We have delivered strong growth in revenues and order intake. The margins continue to be impacted due to the elevated logistics costs, execution of legacy projects with adverse commodity prices and SAE Brazil’s performance. We have significantly reduced our exposure to legacy projects and have commenced the execution of projects which are secured based on current commodity prices and logistics costs. This augurs well for us and gives us confidence in a sequential improvement in the margins in the quarters to come. Based on the traction in order intake, record order book + L1 of over Rs 34,000 crore and a healthy tender pipeline, we are confident of delivering continued strong growth in the coming quarters.”
