On outlook front, the company said that as India enters FY 2026-27, the country's GDP growth is projected to remain among the fastest-growing major economies in the world. India's strong macroeconomic fundamentals and policy buffers offer some protection from external headwinds.

Momentum is likely to be sustained by continued expansion in fintech, cloud technologies, AI-enabled services, and the rise of Global Capability Centers (GCCs).

During the year, we have executed Agreements for divesting our full stakes in Nabha Power Limited and L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited. We expect the closure of these transactions by 30th June 2026. This aligns with our stated strategy to exit from the Concessions portfolio. As this being the terminal year of our Lakshya'26 plan, I am happy to say that we have achieved most of the targets we set for ourselves, whether in terms of order book, revenue or exits from non-core businesses.'
