Navigating a Complex World with Clarity, Innovation & Purpose

1. Global Economic Outlook: Stability Amid Uncertainty

In FY2025, the global economy continues to tread a path of cautious recovery. While the pandemic and geopolitical tensions have left long-term imprints, steady GDP growth of 3.2–3.3% signals resilience.

Key Trends Shaping the Global Landscape:

• Inflation Cooling Off: Following the price surges of 2022 2023, global inflation is on a steady decline. Projections from the IMF suggest inflation will fall to 4.2% by 2025, with advanced economies likely returning to target levels (~2%).

• Growth Divergence: While advanced economies are expected to post modest growth (1–2%), emerging markets—particularly in Asia—are poised for stronger expansion at 4–5%, led by rising consumption and digital adoption.

• Geopolitical Friction: The Russia-Ukraine conflict,

U.S.-China trade disputes, and instability in the Middle East remain major headwinds, impacting supply chains, investor sentiment, and global trade.

• Tech & Policy Opportunities: Digital transformation, AI breakthroughs, and climate-focused reforms present opportunities for countries and businesses that can move swiftly and adaptively.

Outlook

Despite structural risks, the global economy appears more stable than in recent years. Yet, flexibility will be crucial in navigating potential inflation shocks, geopolitical flare-ups, and environmental disruptions. FY2026 could either cement post-pandemic recovery or force a strategic recalibration.

2. Indian Economy: A Bright Spot in a Challenging World

Amidst a global slowdown, India stands out. With projected GDP growth of 6.6%, India is not only the fastest-growing G20 economy but also a magnet for global investment.

Key Drivers of Growth for India:

• Strong Private Consumption: Urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and digital access continue to boost domestic demand.

• Government Capex: Strategic investments in infrastructure, digital public goods, and logistics are fuelling productivity and job creation.

• Manufacturing Momentum: The "Make in India" and PLI schemes are enabling India to emerge as a global manufacturing hub, especially in electronics and automotive components.

Challenges to Monitor:

• Market Volatility: Indian equities saw turbulence in early 2025, with Nifty down by 14% and the Sensex dropping 10,000 points from 2024 peaks—primarily due to FII outflows and IT sector corrections.

• Global Headwinds: Export slowdowns, geopolitical risks, and tariff concerns pose near-term risks to growth.

Outlook

Despite market jitters, the long-term fundamentals remain intact. Indias structural reforms, digital ecosystem, political stability, and youthful population continue to position it as a compelling growth story for the decade ahead.

4. Sectoral Insights

A. Automotive & Mobility: Shifting Gears

Towards Electrification & Connectivity

The Indian automotive industry is undergoing transformation driven by evolving industry standards, changing consumer preferences, and a growing emphasis on sustainability. This has led to the rise of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), connected cars, shared mobility, and the adoption of smart factories. Indias auto industry is in the midst of a digital and electric transformation. FY2023–24 recorded a historic 4.21 million passenger vehicle sales, with SUVs contributing more than half the volume.

Key Trends:

• SUV Boom: Sales up by 25.8%, indicating a consumer shift toward larger, feature-rich vehicles.

• Decline in Small Cars: A 14.4% drop in passenger car sales points to inflationary pressures and shifting preferences.

• Electric Vehicles (EVs): The sector witnessed robust growth of 27% YoY, with 1.94 million units sold.

• Electric Two Wheelers (E2Ws): Dominated the segment with 1.14 million units, up 33%

• Electric Three Wheelers (E3Ws): Accounted for

35% of EVs sold, up 18%

• Electric Passenger Vehicles (EPVs): Saw an 82% jump, led by Tata Motors and JSW MG Motor

Digital Disruption:

• Connected cars, real-time traffic mapping, in-vehicle infotainment, and smart street management systems are now mainstream.

• Embedded navigation and geospatial integration are becoming standard across vehicle categories.

Future Outlook

By 2030, Indias EV market could touch USD 120 billion. As autonomous and shared mobility models mature, demand for map-centric services and real-time geospatial solutions will surge.

B. Consumer Tech & Enterprise: Digital-First

India

Digital transformation is a cornerstone of modern economic development, reshaping industries and accelerating the growth of digital maps and location-based services. Digital transformation is no longer a strategy—its a necessity. In India, the digital services economy is expected to grow at 12.1% CAGR, reaching USD 92.3 billion by 2030, well ahead of traditional IT.

Shifts Accelerating This Growth in India:

• Cloud, AI & Automation: Dominating enterprise tech stacks for cost reduction and enhanced agility.

• Location Intelligence: Crucial for hyper-personalized marketing, logistics optimization, and smart infrastructure.

• Mobile-First Behaviour: Over 536 million vernacular internet users expected by 2027, reshaping content, advertising, and engagement models.

Public Initiatives Powering Inclusion:

Market Update for FY 2024-25

The Indian financial landscape during FY 2024-25 witnessed notable shifts across multiple asset classes. The RBI maintained its cautious stance for most of 2024 before initiating a gradual easing cycle in February 2025, reducing the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25%. This move came as inflation moderated to the 4-5% range, providing the central bank room to maneuver. The 10-year Indian G-sec yield, which stood at 7.15% on 1st April

2024 declined to 6.58% by 31st March 2025, the changing interest rate environment and improved investor sentiment.

Strategies followed by C.E. Info System

In such a volatile scenario we acted proactively by adding some fixed Income Instruments available at good spread over other similar securities. We started the year with a portfolio of Rs 462.42 Crore. Initially we invested in money market instruments like Arbitrage Fund, and short-term bonds with less than one-year maturity. Later, we added some new issuers and different structures with high credit quality and good spread over similar Rating like REC, IREDA, Axis Finance, Hinduja Leyland Finance. From the total Invested portfolio of Rs 489.29 Crore we were able to generate an approx. income of Rs 37.25 Crore which comprises of the following instruments.

Instrument Type % Allocation
Fixed Deposit 18%
Bond Portfolio 42%
SDL Index Funds 29%
Arbitrage Fund 2%
Invit 4%
VDF/AIF/ Others 5%

More than 91% of the portfolio is invested in AA and above rating.

Credit Rating % Allocation
Sovereign 29%
AAA 28%
AA+ 31%
AA 3%
A+ 1%
Arbitrage 2%
Others 5%

In FY 2022-23 the strategy of investing close to 30% of the portfolio in SDL index fund had helped us generate steady income with tax advantage.

Our whole strategy played out very well, Despite the unpredictability and turbulence in the market, our investment strategy and risk management practices have enabled us to build a safe sustainable portfolio.

Overall, we consider our Treasury Fund to be an indispensable element of our financial strategy, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to managing it responsibly and transparently.
