However, we anticipate an increase in demand momentum driven by kharif procurement, robust rabi sowing, and enhanced water levels in reservoirs.The companys exports jumped 12.59% to 456 units in December 2024 as against 405 units posted in December 2023.
Further, the companys construction equipment business division sold 873 machines in December 2024, registering the highest ever monthly sales growth of 10.7% from 792 machines sold in December 2023.
Driven by upcoming emission standards in January 2025 and an expected capex push from the government, the CE industry is set for a favorable trend, though short-term demand may be impacted by cost increases.
