The company’s Chairman, Mr. C. Mruthyunjaya Swamy, addressed the operational environment, noting that while the first quarter saw a temporary moderation in Karnataka's water infrastructure sector due to state government transitions and related delays, the sequential improvement reflects gradual recovery.
