Management stated they are actively addressing these pressures through operational improvements, product mix optimization, sourcing efficiencies, and calibrated pricing measures.

Furthermore, Mr. Doraiswamy highlighted the encouraging demand environment, supported by investments in power infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial automation, data centres, and electrification.
