Thermax's operating revenue fell 9% to Rs 1057 crore in Q2 September 2015 over Q2 September 2014. The order inflow of the company declined 26% to Rs 810 crore in Q2 September 2015, compared with Rs 1089 crore in Q2 September 2014. This was on account of the slack in the power sector which continued to affect the order inflow position of the company and of the Group. As on 30 September 2015, Thermax has an order backlog of Rs 4006 crore against Rs 5016 crore in September 2014.
