Economy Overview

Global Economy1

The year under review was marked by rising trade tensions and heightened geopolitical uncertainties. Despite these headwinds, the global economy demonstrated resilience, with global Gross Domoestic Product (GDP) remaining steady at 3.4% in the year 2025, in line with the previous year. This reflects stable underlying economic momentum.

Growth was supported by multiple factors. Front-loaded trade activity provided impetus to manufacturing and logistics, while sustained investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), semiconductor ecosystems and digital infrastructure strengthened capital expenditure cycles. Concurrently, supportive fiscal measures across major economies helped balance economic stability with growth stimulus.

Advanced economies recorded growth of 1.9%, reflecting moderate but steady expansion supported by stable policy environments, despite ongoing trade-related pressures. In contrast, emerging market and developing economies outperformed, registering growth of 4.4%, driven by strong domestic demand, resilient services activity and continued public investment. However, several smaller economies remained constrained by limited fiscal capacity, currency volatility and elevated debt burdens.

Policy responsiveness and technological advancement continued to underpin global economic stability. Nevertheless, the global economic environment remains vulnerable to renewed trade and geopolitical disruptions. Escalating tensions in West Asia have introduced additional uncertainty, particularly due to potential disruptions in critical energy supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.

These developments have contributed to volatility in global oil markets, increasing fuel costs and creating ripple effects across logistics and industrial production worldwide. In response, several countries have intensified diplomatic engagement while also diversifying energy sources and crude import channels to mitigate supply risks.

Global economic activity is expected to moderate in the near term, with GDP projected to grow at 3.1% in year 2026, followed by a marginal improvement to 3.2% in year 2027. This moderation reflects the unwinding of inventory build-ups, the cumulative impact of tariff measures, persistent geopolitical tensions and softer consumption trends across major economies.

The near-term outlook may remain subjected to intermittent volatility, driven by evolving geopolitical developments, particularly in energy markets, potentially resulting in temporary cost pressures and supply-side disruptions. Global headline inflation is projected to rise to 4.4% in year 2026 before easing to 3.7% in year 2027, with upward revisions to forecasts for both years2.

Overall, the global environment calls for a measured and cautious approach, with an emphasis on resilience and adaptability. As global supply chains stabilise, sustaining economic growth will depend on deeper trade integration, institutional reforms and stronger investment-driven growth, particularly across emerging markets.

Indian Economy3

India has reinforced its position as one of the fastest-growing major economies globally. Real GDP is estimated to grow by approximately 7.7% in year 2026, compared with 7.1% in the previous year, reflecting sustained economic momentum. Growth has been supported by resilient rural demand, healthy agricultural output and a gradual recovery in industrial activity. Government initiatives, including Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, continue to support manufacturing, while the services sector remains a key contributor. Continued public investment in infrastructure has further strengthening overall economic expansion.

Indias industrial sector showed positive momentum in year 2026, with overall industrial growth projected at 6.2%, up from 5.9% in year 2025, indicating a gradual acceleration in activity. The sector recorded a robust growth of 7.0% in the first half of year 2026, outperforming both 6.1% in first half of year 2025 and the pre-COVID trend of 5.2%, reflecting structural improvement in industrial performance.

Manufacturing emerged as the key growth driver, with Gross Value Added (GVA) growth accelerating to 7.72% in Quarter 1 and 9.13% in Quarter 2 of year 2026. This performance has been supported by policy initiatives such as the PLI schemes, which have attracted over 2 lakh crore and generated significant production and employment opportunities. Overall, the sector reflects a sustained recovery, driven by improved capacity utilisation, policy support and strengthening domestic demand4. Inflation remains well contained, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) at 3.40%5 based on the revised 2024 base year. Stable inflation has supported purchasing power and support demand across both urban and rural markets. This is further reinforced by policy measures such as income tax relief, Goods and Services Tax (GST) rationalisation and an accommodative monetary policy stance, which together are sustaining consumption. India continues to strengthen its integration with global value chains. Ongoing trade discussions with the United States (US) and the European Union are expected to support exports, facilitate technology transfer and attract long-term investment. In response to geopolitical developments in the Middle East, India has taken steps to diversify crude oil sourcing and strengthen alternative supply channels, thereby improving overall energy security.

India is expected to remain the fastest-growing major economy, with Real GDP growth for the year 2027 projected in the range of 6.8% to 7.2%6, supported by continued government capital expenditure and a recovery in private consumption. Real Private Final Consumption Expenditure is projected to grow by around 7.0% in year 2026, indicating improving demand conditions. Indias Union Budget 2026–27 has further strengthened the infrastructure focus by increasing the capital expenditure outlay to 12.2 lakh crore7, reflecting the Governments continued commitment to infrastructure-led economic growth. This sustained rise in public investment is expected to accelerating development across key sectors such as roads, railways, urban infrastructure and energy, while also enhancing connectivity and logistics efficiency.

Higher capex is also expected to crowd in private sector participation, support employment generation across construction and allied industries and stimulate demand for core sectors such as steel, cement and capital goods. In addition, the Budget introduces structural measures such as the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund are expected to reduce project risks and improve financing access, while the development of City Economic Regions (CERs) to drive balanced urban expansion. Overall, the Budget continues to reinforce infrastructure as a central pillar of sustaining long-term economic growth and competitiveness.

Further, ongoing structural reforms are expected to support long-term growth. These include GST rationalisation, progress in new and upgraded free trade agreements and continued efforts to improve the ease of doing business.

Inflation is expected to remain moderate under the revised base year, providing the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with room to maintain a supportive monetary policy stance. This is likely to facilitate investment and sustain credit growth, even as global conditions remain uncertain due to tariff pressures and geopolitical uncertainties.

Indias energy sector has transitioned from a deficit-driven system to a structurally robust and near self-sufficient ecosystem, supported by sustained investments and policy reforms. The countrys total installed power capacity reached 520.51 Gigawatt (GW) as of January 2026, with a record addition of 52,537 Megawatt (MW) during Financial Year 2025–26. Notably, renewable energy accounted for approximately 75% of this incremental capacity.

Power shortages have been nearly eliminated, with deficits declining sharply from 4.2% in 2014 to 0.03% by December 2025. Peak demand of 242.49 GW was successfully met, reflecting improved system resilience.

Infrastructure development has remained strong. The national transmission network now exceeds 5 lakh circuit kilometres (km), while transformation capacity reached 1,407 Gigavolt

- Amperes (GVA), enabling efficient power evacuation and enhanced grid stability.

Universal electrification has largely been achieved through investments of 1.85 lakh crore. This has enabled the electrification of 18,374 villages and 2.86 crore households, while improving rural power supply from 12.5 hours/day (Year 2014) to 22.6 hours/day (Year 2025).

The operational and financial performance of distribution utilities has also improved. Power distribution companies reported a profit of 2,701 crore in year 2025. Outstanding dues declined to 4,109 crore, while Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses reduced to 15.04%. The renewable energy transition continues to accelerate. Solar capacity has reached 140 GW and wind capacity stands at 54.65 GW. Renewables now contribute over 51.5% of daily electricity demand at peak levels, indicating deeper integration into the energy mix.

The Indian energy sector is poised for sustained growth, driven by rising electricity demand, industrial expansion, electrification trends and continued policy support for clean energy. Peak demand is projected to reach 458 GW by 2032, necessitating further capacity expansion and infrastructure upgrades.

The transmission network is expected to expand to 6.48 lakh circuit km, with transformation capacity increasing to 2,345 GVA. These developments were backed by planned investments of approximately 9.15 lakh crore. Significant investment opportunities exceeding 50 lakh crore by 2032 across generation, transmission, distribution and storage are expected to drive sectoral growth.

Renewable energy segment is expected to remain a key growth driver, supported by government initiatives such as rooftop solar expansion, green energy open access and energy storage development. The increasing adoption of smart metering, with over 5.62 crore installations, along with digital infrastructure, is expected to enhance efficiency, reduce losses and improve consumer participation. Overall, the sector is expected to evolve towards a more sustainable, digitised and market-driven ecosystem. In result, this transformation will strengthen Indias energy security while supporting long-term economic growth.

Defence Sector

The global defence market size is estimated at USD 2,750.56 Billion in 2026, set to expand to USD 4,268.06 Billion by 2035, growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5% during the forecast from 2026 to 20359. This is supported by increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, autonomous systems, cyber warfare capabilities, and next-generation air and missile defence platforms. The US remains the largest defence spender globally, followed by China, while Europe and the Asia-Pacific region continue to witness accelerated defence investments.

Indias defence sector is entering a strong investment cycle, anchored by a higher budgetary allocation and a clear policy emphasis on self-reliance. In the Union Budget 2026-27, the Ministry of Defence (MoD)received its highest-ever allocation of 7.85 lakh crore. This is nearly three times the level in Financial Year 2013-14 and around 15% higher than the previous years budget estimate. Defence spending now accounts for nearly 15% of total central government expenditure.

Approximately 28% of the allocation has been earmarked for capital expenditure, with the remainder directed towards operations, salaries and pensions. This reflects a balanced approach between modernisation and force sustenance. The broader policy agenda focuses on upgrading three services, strengthening border infrastructure, expanding indigenous manufacturing and ensuring robust welfare support for veterans, in line with the longer-term Viksit Bharat@2047 vision.

Domestic defence production is expected to increase from 1.54 lakh crore in Financial Year 2024-25 to 1.75 lakh crore in Financial Year 2025-26, reflecting steady capacity expansion supported by policy initiatives11.

Indian defence products are also gaining strong acceptance in international markets. Defence exports reached 38,424 crore in Financial Year 2025-26, compared to 23,622 crore in FinancialYear 2024-25. The exports now extend to over 80 countries, highlighting the growing global competitiveness of Indias defence manufacturing sector12.

Growth Drivers

Rising capital outlays for modern platforms, including next generation fighter aircraft, advanced weapons systems, naval vessels, submarines, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) and drones. This is backed by a capital allocation exceeding 2.19 lakh crore in the Financial Year 2026-27. Strong policy thrust under Atmanirbhar, with about 1.39 lakh crore earmarked for procurement from domestic defence industries. Nearly three quarters of the capital acquisition budget has been ring fenced for Indian manufacturers, thereby encouraging localisation and greater private sector participation.

Enhanced funding for Defence Research & Development (R&D), with the allocation to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) increased to about 29,100 crore. Around one-quarter of Defence R&D budget has been opened to industry, start ups and academia. This is further supported by 15 DRDO Industry Academia Centres of Excellence and a network of 2,000 partner industries.

Targeted investments in strategic infrastructure, including higher allocations for the Border Roads Organisation, tunnels, bridges, airfields and defence optical fibre networks. These measures are expected to improve mobility and strengthen operational readiness along sensitive frontiers.

Expanded allocations for veterans welfare, including over 12,100 crore for the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme and about 1.71 lakh crore towards defence pensions. This continued support is expected to enhance morale and reinforce the long term attractiveness of defence careers.

The outlook for Indias defence sector is broadly positive, supported by multi-year budget visibility and expanding domestic manufacturing opportunities. Higher and more predictable capital allocations, coupled with a procurement framework that prioritises Indian suppliers, are expected to strengthen the domestic defence industrial base and attract private investment, joint ventures and technology transfers.

In parallel, rising R&D expenditure and stronger industry-academia collaboration are expected to gradually transition the ecosystem from licensed manufacturing towards higher indigenous design, innovation and Intellectual Property creation. This shift is particularly relevant in complex platforms and subsystems.

With a sustained focus on modernisation, border infrastructure and veteran welfare, the sector appears well positioned to achieve stronger growth, greater self-reliance and improved operational readiness over the next decade.

Infrastructure Sector13

The infrastructure sector, comprising roads, railways, ports, airports, urban development, energy and digital networks, continues to serve as a key driver of Indias economic expansion. In year 2026, the sector sustained strong momentum, supported by robust public investment and policy-led financing reforms. Public capital expenditure has increased significantly, rising from

2 lakh crore in Financial Year 2014 15 to a Budget Estimate of 12.2 lakh crore in Financial Year 2026 27. This underscores the Governments continued emphasis on infrastructure-led development. Sustained investment is strengthening project execution across transportation and logistics networks, crowding in private capital, generating employment and stimulating demand across core industries such as steel, cement and construction materials.

The Union Budget 2026–27 has further expanded its focus beyond metropolitan regions by prioritising Tier II and Tier III cities and introducing CER, with an allocation of 5,000 crore per CER over five years to promote balanced regional development.

Indias infrastructure financing ecosystem is becoming intense and more diversified, enabling stronger long-term capital formation. Institutions such as the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), managing USD 4.9 billion in assets and National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development

(NaBFID), which has sanctioned approximately 3.03 lakh crore and disbursed about 1.09 lakh crore as of December 2025, continue to play a pivotal role in financing large-scale projects. Innovative instruments such as Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have accelerated asset monetisation, unlocking over 1.5 lakh crore for reinvestment into new infrastructure. Additionally, the introduction of the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund in Union Budget 2026–27 is expected to enhance financing security by reducing lender risk and encouraging greater private sector participation.

With stronger institutional support, rising investor interest and sustained government commitment, Indias infrastructure sector is well positioned for continued expansion. Growth is expected to remain particularly robust in roads and highways, which are central to improving logistics efficiency and strengthening overall economic competitiveness.

Engineering and Construction Sector17

The Engineering & Construction (E&C) sector in India continues to serve as a key enabler of economic growth, driven by government-led infrastructure development across roads, urban infrastructure, water and energy segments. However, the sector experienced a phase of moderation in Financial Year 2025–26, with revenue growth estimated at 2–4%, following a relatively flat performance in Financial Year 2024–25.

The slowdown was primarily due to muted project awards in the road sector and delays in Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) projects. Despite these challenges, diversified EPC players with exposure to urban infrastructure, power, mining and water segments demonstrated relatively resilient performance.

Profitability across the sector remains under pressure due to intense competition and rising input costs. Operating margins, on the other hand, are expected to moderate to 10.1–10.6% in Financial Year 2026–27, compared to higher historical levels of 13–14%.

Elevated competitive intensity, particularly in road and metro projects, has resulted in aggressive bidding. In addition, working capital cycles have been impacted by delayed payments, resulting in elongated cash conversion cycles and moderation in interest coverage ratios, which are expected to be in the range of 3.1–3.4x.

Key Regulatory Highlights of Financial Year 2025 -26

Issuance of Tariff Order: While Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) did not issue any Tariff Orders during the year, on October 25, 2025, and December 31, 2025, It has issued True-up orders for the Financial Years 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively. It has recognised a cumulative Regulatory Asset of Rs. 24,733 crore as on March 31, 2023. During the Financial Year 2025-26, tariffs have been recovered in terms of the last Tariff Order dated September 30, 2021. On certain principal issues in the True-up orders for the Financial Years 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively, Delhi Discoms filed appeals before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL).

Implementation of Orders of the Superior Courts by DERC: Honble Supreme Court (SC) vide its order dated December 01, 2021, has settled the long-pending matters by dismissing the six Civil Appeals of DERC and directing DERC to implement the APTEL Orders. DERC filed its Compliance Affidavits, against which the Company filed Miscellaneous Applications, which were allowed by the

Honble SC by Order dated December 15, 2022, again directing DERC to implement the APTEL Orders. Further, SC vide its order dated October 18, 2022 allowed BSES Appeals against APTEL Order dated November 28, 2014 and held that DERC cannot re-open Tariff Orders during true up exercise and change the methodology / principles of original tariff determination. DERC vide its order dated July 19, 2024 has partially implemented the above orders of Honble SC. The Company has filed Contempt Petitions against DERC in the Honble SC which are pending adjudication.

Writ Petition before Honble Delhi High Court (DHC) challenging the Business Plan Regulations, 2023:

On March 29, 2023, DERC issued the Business Plan Regulations, 2023 (BPR, 2023) to be applicable for the Control Period from the Financial Year 2023-24 to Financial Year 2025-26. The Company filed Writ Petition before DHC challenging the Business Plan Regulations, 2023 and seeking stay of the Regulations to the extent challenged. The matter is sub-judice before DHC. Further, on March 27, 2026, DERC has extended the BPR, 2023 Regulations for one more year for Financial Year 2026-27. The Company is in the process of filing Writ Petition against the same before DHC. Also, DERC vide letter dated April 06, 2026 has directed Company to file the Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) petition for Financial Year 2026-27 in accordance with BPR 2023 whereas the ARR petition for Financial Year 2026-27 (along with True-up for Financial Year 2024-25) has already been filed on November 28, 2025 under the provisions of the MoP Rules and in accordance with the Business Plan submitted on August 29, 2025. The Company has re-filed the ARR petition for Financial Year 2026-27 as per the MoP Rules and in accordance with the BPR 2023 to the extent it is not inconsistent with MoP Rules.

Regulatory Challenges:

Accumulation of Regulatory Assets (RA): Due to non-cost reflective tariffs in the past, there has been a significant buildup of RA leading to severe stress on the financial position of the Company. Further, the RA recognised by DERC in its order dated December 31, 2025 are yet to be liquidated. Moreover, there are various Orders of APTEL and the SC which are yet to be implemented by DERC. Hence, the delay in recognition and amortisation of RA is impacting the financial position of the Company and increasing the burden of carrying cost, which is to be borne by the consumers. The SC disposed off the matter regarding creation, continuation and liquidation of RA by its judgment dated August 06, 2025 and has directed in Paragraph 71(v) of the said judgement for recovery of existing RA over 4 years starting from 1st April 2024. Subsequently, by its clarificatory order dated October 28, 2025, SC increased the period of liquidation from 4 years to 7 years.

Pursuant to the directions in Paragraph 71(ix) of the specified judgment, the Honble APTEL initiated suo moto proceedings involving DERC, Delhi Discoms, and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL). These legal proceedings address a provisional 38,552 crore regulatory asset liquidation plan as of April 1, 2026. However, the licensees objected to DERCs proposed 7-year roadmap. They cited significant mathematical errors, a failure to align with the SC mandated timeline of April 2024 to March 2031, and the improper use of local regulations over Rule 23 of the Electricity Rules 2005 for determining carrying costs.

APTEL upheld Discom objections and ordered DERC to submit a revised plan, though DERC maintained that its acknowledged

38,552 crore liability will only crystallise after upcoming

FY 2023–24 true-up orders. Expressing deep concern over regulatory delays, APTEL gave DERC two weeks to appoint an independent auditor per SC directives. Failure to comply will result in the Tribunal directly appointing a Chartered Accountant (CA) and reporting DERC to the Supreme Court.

On March 6, 2026, DERC submitted that it had obtained approval for a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit. BSES Discoms objected, citing a DHC judgment that set aside such audits. Consequently, the Tribunal restrained DERC from proceeding, ordered an affidavit clarifying the audits legality, and heard arguments on both the audit and DERCs request for a three-month extension for the FY 2023–24 true-up and RA liquidation. On April 20, 2026, APTEL ruled that a CAG audit of Delhi Discoms is legally impermissible. It observed that while the SC required an audit, it did not mandate the CAG. Accordingly, APTEL directed DERC to appoint a CA within one week and complete the audit within three weeks.

With regard to the extension of time for starting RA liquidation, APTEL rejected DERCs request, stating that no legal impediment exists and that the unjustified delay burdens consumers. Consequently, APTEL directed DERC to commence the RA liquidation process within three weeks from the date of the order, while granting an extension until June 30, 2026, to complete the true-up exercise for Financial Year 2023-24.On May 20, 2026, APTEL heard DERCs review petition against aforesaid order dated April 20, 2026 and reserved the order.

Risks and Concerns

Reliance Infrastructure operates in a diversified environment and exposed to a range of sector-specific and macroeconomic risks that may affect its operational and financial performance.

Power Distribution Business

Consumer tariffs for electricity distribution are regulated by the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs), and for Delhi Discoms it is being done by DERC. Any adverse changes in the tariff structure or delays in tariff approvals could impact the financial performance of the Delhi Discoms.

Defence Business

The defence sector is characterised by long developmental periods, high capital investment requirements and a strong reliance on government procurement. The industry is highly regulated by the requirement of extensive compliance for setting up and operating facilities, as well as for the manufacture and sale of defence products. Furthermore, global competition, evolving geopolitical dynamics and complex execution challenges add to the overall risk profile of the sector, potentially impacting timelines, margins and scalability.

The Mumbai Metro Project

The key challenge lies in capacity constraints that may limit the ability to fully cater to growing ridership. Delays in fare revisions over the past twelve years have constrained the availability of funds required for capacity augmentation and infrastructure upgrades, which could impact operational efficiency and service quality over time.

Roads Business

The key risk within the roads business is the gradual reduction in the size of the portfolio, which may lead to moderation in revenues over time. In addition, toll road revenues remain linked to traffic volumes and may be affected by economic conditions, fuel prices and unforeseen external disruptions, impacting toll collections and overall project returns.

E&C Business

Most of the existing projects are either nearing completion or have already been completed. The Division remains focused on efficient execution of its current order book and aims to strengthen its pipeline through selective and strategic bidding opportunities, with emphasis on value engineering to enhance competitiveness.

Financial Risks

Financial risk is the risk where project cash flows might be insufficient to cover debt service and then pay an adequate return on sponsor equity. Financial risks are best borne by the private sector but a substantial government risk sharing is required either through viability gap funding (VGF), revenue or debt guarantees or through participation by state or multilateral development institutions.

Legal Risks

The Company operates in a highly regulated environment. Changes in applicable laws, contractual disputes, delays in arbitration outcomes, or weak enforcement of contractual provisions may adversely affect project returns and overall financial performance. Various regulatory actions have been initiated against the Company/ Subsidiaries during the year as per the details furnished in the Directors Report. The Company has taken all appropriate legal and procedural steps to protect its and all stakeholders interests.

Operating Risks

Operational risks include project execution challenges, system failures and external disruptions such as natural disasters, industrial disturbances, or geopolitical developments. Sometimes insurance is available for catastrophic risks but generally public companies need to restructure the project if such disaster occurs.

Risk Management Framework and Internal Control Systems

The Company has a defined Risk Management Policy applicable to all businesses of the Company. This helps in identifying, assessing and mitigating the risk that could impact the Companys performance and achievement of its business objectives. The risks are reviewed on an ongoing basis by respective business heads and functional heads across the organization.

The Risk Management Committee of the Board consisting of Independent Directors and few senior managerial personnel, on a quarterly basis, the Risk Management Committee independently reviews all identified major risks and new risks, if any and assess the status of mitigation measures/plan.

The internal financial controls for all the significant processes have been identified based on the risk evaluation in the business process and same have been embedded in the business processes. These processes and controls have been documented. Professional internal audit firms review the systems and processes of the Company and provide independent and professional opinion on the internal control systems.

Industry Structure and Development, Opportunities and Threats

Power Distribution business

The power distribution sector in India is undergoing a transformation, driven by policy reforms, technological integration and a growing emphasis on service reliability and consumer engagement. The Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) and ongoing regulatory focus on reducing Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses are reshaping the industry structure. There is a clear shift towards digitalisation, smart metering, and consumer-centric models, offering opportunities for operational efficiency, data-driven decision-making and improved financial sustainability. The sector also sees potential in distributed energy resources, rooftop solar integration and demand response solutions. However, challenges such as high subsidy dependence, delayed tariff revisions and legacy infrastructure constraints continue to impact Discoms financial health. Addressing these structural issues while leveraging digital and regulatory advancements remains key to long-term sectoral stability and growth.

Defence business

Indias defence sector continues to evolve with a sustained policy emphasis on indigenisation and self-reliance, supported by initiatives such as the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) and Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. The Governments continued focus on domestic manufacturing, progressive liberalisation of FDI norms and a steadily increasing defence budget have created significant opportunities for private sector participation across segments including defence electronics, unmanned systems, aerospace components and precision engineering. The sector offers relatively strong long-term visibility driven by multi-year procurement programmes and increasing collaboration with global OEMs. However, growth prospects are moderated by structural challenges such as extended procurement cycles, evolving regulatory requirements and competitive intensity from established Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) as well as international players. Notwithstanding these constraints, favourable policy support, rising domestic demand and export potential provide a robust foundation for sustained expansion of the private defence manufacturing ecosystem in India.

Mumbai Metro Business

Mumbai Metro continues to be one of the most efficient and widely used modes of urban transport in the city, second only to the Mumbai suburban railway. The business is well-positioned for future growth with the ongoing expansion of the metro network.

Expanding Network and Ridership Potential

Despite the availability of alternate transport modes, Mumbai Metro plays a vital role in local transit. The expansion of the metro network—with operational lines such as Line 2A, 7 Line 3 and partially opened Line 2B & Line 9, and upcoming line-,4—is expected to enhance connectivity and cross-feed ridership across the system, leading to increased commuter volumes.

Improved Last Mile Connectivity

To strengthen last mile access, Mumbai Metro has collaborated with bus services and aligned its timetable with other modes of public transport to ensure better synchronization and commuter convenience.

Adoption of Digital ticketing and payments

The business has enabled the use of NCMC, One Ticket

& Mumbai One for fare payment, facilitating seamless and interoperable travel across various transit systems within Mumbai and nationwide, thereby improving travel convenience for passengers.

Roads Business

Indias roads infrastructure sector is poised for strong growth, backed by rising vehicular traffic and ongoing investments in national highway development.

Growth in Vehicle Sales

The country witnessed record-high vehicle sales in Financial Year 2025-26 indicating a positive outlook for passenger traffic on highways, particularly in the car segment.

Macroeconomic and Policy Support

The Government of India has set an ambitious target to construct 10,000 km of highways in Financial Year 2026-27 and raise plans to raise 30,000 crore through road asset monetisation, creating strong tailwinds for the sector.

Traffic Outlook and Competition from Parallel Roads

While the construction of parallel roads may pose a competitive threat, the overall economic growth and vehicle sales momentum are expected to sustain and grow traffic volumes on the companys road assets.

Technological Advancements in Toll Collection

NHAIs introduction of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is planned to integrate with the existing FASTag ecosystem under a hybrid model. In the longer term, dedicated GNSS lanes are expected to eliminate the need for toll plazas entirely. This transition will help reduce operational and maintenance costs for toll road operators, enhancing overall profitability.
