Motilal Oswal  said, "EBITDA rose 6% YoY to Rs 450 crore, 54% above our estimate. The EBITDA margin came in at 12.9% (up 180 bps YoY), largely led by a 210 bps YoY expansion in gross margins."

During the quarter, new orders from continuing operations grew 8.7 per cent at Rs 3,220 crore as compared to the year-ago period,. The company has a strong order backlog of over one year's revenue, partially on account of the period of lockdown in the country, which resulted in reduced revenues.
