Ashwath Ram, managing director of Cummins India, said: ?CIL reported record revenue for the quarter with sustained demand visible across most of our domestic and exports end markets. Despite headwinds of inflation, geo-political issues etc. economic activities are sustaining growth momentum. Robust tax collections, softening of commodity cost, focus on infrastructure and continued efforts on digitizing the economy are auguring well for our products and services. While the supply chain constraint continues, we being part of a global integrated supply chain is enabling us to secure supplies to meet the demand. We remain cautiously optimistic about the short to medium term demand outlook.? With respect to future outlook, Cummins India said that it believes that that in the near to medium term the strong demand from various end markets may likely sustain. It continued to closely monitor impact of rising inflation and consequential monetary policy action of raising interest rates and its impact on consumption across our end markets. The company is well positioned to deal with these uncertainties as we have a strong balance sheet, integration with global supply chain and in-country world class infrastructure and human resources. Given the uncertain economic environment due to rising inflation and geo-political issues, the company is not providing guidance for FY23.
