* INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
Indias GDP grew 8.7% in FY 2022 after contracting 6.6% during the previous fiscal on account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent nationwide lockdowns to check the spread of coronavirus and the spread of Omicron. It pointed out that the global environment still remains uncertain, and that the projection is based on the assumption there will be no further debilitating pandemic-related economic disruption, a normal monsoon, an oil price projection at $70-75 per barrel (as opposed to the current price of $90), easing of global supply chain disruptions and more.
At Company level, going forward, it is our conviction that the transparent policies along with the stringent statutory compliances will propel the organized sector towards growth. The traditionally fundamentally strong character of the Indian economy would continue to operate in the future.
