As far as the Room AC business is concerned, the benefit of GST rate rationalisation is likely to accelerate consumer demand and drive long-term market expansion. Also, with the energy label change scheduled for implementation on January 1, 2026, we expect a rise in demand during the Christmas and New Year period. While the Electro-Mechanical Projects business may see slower order inflows, the Commercial Air Conditioning business is poised for a revival in demand. We remain focused on both prudent cost management as well as optimising the working capital levels to enhance our performance in the second half of this fiscal year.” Result PDF
