Sunil Mathur, managing director and chief executive officer, Siemens, said, All our businesses have booked strong growth in order income reflecting a clear upswing in both public and private capex spending with high value orders being booked in our mobility segment.

Revenues and profitability have been impacted as a result of global supply chain challenges leading to delays in deliveries and increase in commodity and logistic costs. We expect revenue growth to pick up in subsequent quarters.
