Larsen and Toubro: The engineering major expects private capex to pick up gradually post general elections in India in FY25.
In its Annual Report for FY24, it said while private industrial capital spending has been measured in FY24, it is expected to pick up in the next fiscal year with the ongoing global supply chain diversification trends and investors’ response to the government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to boost key targeted manufacturing industries.
However, headwinds from geopolitical tensions, volatility in international financial markets, geoeconomic fragmentation, continuing sea route trade disruptions, and extreme weather events pose risks to the otherwise optimistic outlook, it added.
