We think this is not a three-year, five-year kind of cycle. We think we can sustain this kind of growth for, you know, at least a decade.
We remain cautiously optimistic about the short term, but quite optimistic about medium and long-term outlook.
We are back to pre-CPCB IV+ volumes now. We have reached those volumes in the market now.
Our endeavor is to hold on to the margins, for sure.
We do have competition in the higher notes as well, and it's getting tougher.
We are mostly maintaining those prices as of now, since we launched.
We do have a strong brand in the market. So we do think we are pretty well positioned in the CPCB 4 Plus space in the market.
We continue to maintain our double-digit guidance for the year.
In this particular quarter, approximately 40% of Power Gen sales came from data centers.
We do see a little bit of softening of the order intake from exports at this point in time.
Our value proposition is around our technology, our innovation, and reliability.
We have been able to maintain our pricing.
Data center demand continues to grow, and we are continuing to see the movement in the orders coming in.
The endeavor is to continue improving the margins.
Our belief around the world is that diesel power backup is one of the most reliable backup powers that is available for our customers.
Competitive pressures seem to be the same. Very, very aggressive, pricing, and positioning by competitors.
We are expecting broad-based growth in power generation. So while data centers will grow, given the economic activity and the infra spend, if that continues to happen, and if this budget outlay really kicks in quickly, then we will continue to see growth.
We anticipate double-digit revenue growth in financial year 2025-2026, while remaining cautiously optimistic given the uncertainty from changes in global tax and trade policies, along with the geopolitical issues, which we continue to monitor very closely.
Our endeavor is definitely to sustain or better these margins, and our cost optimization efforts are ongoing.
We are not seeing the slowdown in the data centers in the India market yet.
