Speaking about the performance, Shashank Agarwal, Joint Managing Director, Salasar Techno Engineering Ltd. said, “The Q1 performance was very motivating as we have reported 59% yoy revenue growth supported by our steel structure business. However, the profitability was kept under check due to the sharp increase in raw material cost.
As the government is focusing on building a strong infrastructure, we expect the momentum to continue with better margins as the key raw material prices are softening up and higher contribution from export business. In the telecom space, with the bidding process completed under 5G spectrum, we anticipate to gain some major orders from the leading telecom operators, as we hold a leading share of approx. 50% under telecom tower solutions.”
