3. FUTURE OUTLOOK -

The Future outlook of the business of the Company in
different segment is as under:-

A. TELECOM:-

The Telecom industry in India is the second
largest in the world with a subscriber base
of 1.17 bn as of September 2022 (wireless
wireline subscribers). India has an overall tele¬
density of 84.86%, of which, the tele-density
of the rural market, which is largely untapped,
stands at 58.01% while the tele-density of the

urban market is 134.62%. According to the count
of mobile towers provided on the Department
of Telecommunications Dashboard, the four
operators running the telecom network utilised
7.37 lakh towers and 23.7 lakh base stations as
of November 2022. Since 2017, the country has
seen approximately 45,000-55,000 year-on-year
addition on the telecom tower side and 50,000¬

65,000 net adds on the BTS side.

The Government of India, under the Union
Budget 2023, has allocated ' 975.79 billion
for the Department of Telecommunications.
As per the Budget, Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Limited (BSNL), which is expected to roll out
4G and 5G services during the current year,
is expected to get '529.37 billion capital
infusion from the government in 2023-24. The
Government plans to set up one hundred labs
for developing applications using 5G services
in engineering institutions to realize a new
range of opportunities, business models, and
employment potential. The DoT is targeting a
combination of 100% broadband connectivity
in the villages, 55% fiberisation of mobile towers,
average broadband speeds of 25 mbps and 30
lakh kms of optic fibre rollouts by December
2022. Broadband connections rose to 816
million in September 2022. By December 2024,
DoT is looking at 70% fiberisation of towers,
average broadband speeds of 50 Mbps and 50
lakh kms of optic fibre rollouts at a pan-India
level. In the current budget, the government
has also allocated ' 21.58 billion for optical fibre
cable-based network for defence services and
'7.16 billion for telecom projects in the north¬
eastern states.

The industry's exponential growth over the
last few years is primarily driven by affordable
tariffs, wider availability, roll-out of Mobile
Number Portability (MNP), expanding 4G and
5G coverage, evolving consumption patterns
of subscribers, Government's initiatives
towards bolstering India's domestic telecom
manufacturing capacity, and a conducive
regulatory environment.

B. Renewable Energy:-

India stands 4th globally in Renewable Energy
Installed Capacity (including Large Hydro), 4th
in Wind Power capacity & 4th in Solar Power
capacity (as per REN21 Renewables 2022 Global
Status Report).The country has set an enhanced
target at the COP26 of 500 GW of non-fossil
fuel-based energy by 2030. This has been a key
pledge under the Panchamrit. This is the world's
largest expansion plan in renewable energy. The
country's installed non-fossil fuel capacity has

increased 396% in the last 8.5 years and stands
at more than 179.322 Giga Watts (including large
Hydro and nuclear), about 43% of the country's
total capacity. The Country saw highest year-
on-year growth in renewable energy additions
of 9.83% in 2022.The installed solar energy
capacity has increased by 24.4 times in the last
9 years and currently stands at 67.07 GW. The
installed Renewable energy capacity (including
large hydro) has increased by around 128 %
since 2014. India has set a target to reduce the
carbon intensity of the nation's economy by less
than 45% by the end of the decade, achieve 50
percent cumulative electric power installed by
2030 from renewables, and achieve net-zero
carbon emissions by 2070. India aims for 500
GW of renewable energy installed capacity by
2030 and aims to produce five million tonnes of
green hydrogen by 2030. This will be supported
by 125 GW of renewable energy capacity. 57
solar parks with an aggregate capacity of 39.28
GW have been approved domestically. The
Government has also set an off-shore target of
30 GW by 2030 through Wind Energy.

C. RAILWAY:-

The Indian Railways has committed itself to
achieving 100% electrification, as a part of its goal
ofbecoming a net zero carbon emitter before 2030.
This is in tandem with the Indian government's
stated mission of achieving Net Zero carbon
emissions by 2070 as pledged to at the COP26 in
Glasgow. On successfully completing this journey,
the Indian Railways will achieve the remarkable
feat of becoming the world's largest green railway
system. This large-scale effort is also in line with
the United Nation's Sustainable Development
Goals which is an urgent and collaborative call
for action by all countries. By modernizing its
infrastructure and electrifying its lines, the railways
are covering SDG 9 - which is a push towards
building resilient infrastructure and fostering
innovation. Further, this will help the Railways in
substantially reducing their carbon emissions,
tying it to SDG 13 which emphasizes the need to
take urgent action to battle climate change and its
adverse impacts. On average, the Indian Railways
with track length spanning 126,366 km contains
7,335 stations operate 11,2831 trains daily and
had transported 1512 MT of freight during 2022¬
23. Given that the operations are this widespread,
the energy needs of the railways are also equally
massive. As opposed to the high-emitting diesel
engines, country-wide electrification would
then introduce a more efficient and centralized
power system. Indian Railways has planned to
electrify a total of 28,810 km of broad-gauge
route by December 2023. As of March 2023, 100%

electrification has been completed in 14 states &
UTs including Haryana, Uttrakhand, Meghalaya,
and Uttar Pradesh. In line with the Centre's seven
priorities or Saptarshi, as called out during the
Union Budget - a significant milestone was the
completion of railway track electrification in the
Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

D. POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
SECTOR:-

India's power transmission market is a crucial
component ofthe country's energy sector, which
is growing rapidly to meet the rising electricity
demand. The country's transmission system
plays an important role in supply of power to
the consumers through the vital link between
the generating stations and the distribution
system. The energy resources like coal, hydro
and renewable have a skewed distribution
in the country This skewed distribution of
resources necessitated development of robust
transmission system including establishment
of inter-regional corridors for seamless transfer
of power from surplus to deficit regions/areas.
In this process, it enables access to power
generation from anywhere in the country
to various consumer spread throughout the
country. The progressive integration of regional
grids started in 1992, and on 31st December
2013, our country achieved 'ONE NATION'-'ONE
GRID'-'ONE FREQUENCY' with synchronous
interconnection of Southern Region Grid with
rest of the Indian Grid with the commissioning
of 765kV Raichur-Solapur Transmission line. The
Central Government has given emphasis to
have congestion free transmission network, so
that there is no constraint in flow of power from
surplus region to deficit region. Accordingly,
transmission system in the country has been
continuously strengthened with addition of
transmission lines and inter-regional capacity.
During FY 22-23 the country added 14,625
ckm of transmission lines and added 75,902
MVA in its transformation capacity. With this
the country has become one of the largest
synchronous interconnected electricity grids in
the world with 4,71,817 ckm of transmission line
and 11,85,058 MVA of transformation capacity
(as on Apr'23). Besides, the country's inter¬
regional capacity also increased by whopping
212% to 1,12,250 MW since 2014.The above
transmission capacity addition has benefitted in
development of power sector in the country.

E. Heavy Steel Structure

Heavy Steel Structural segment Mainly includes
Bridges, pre-engineered buildings and other
Heavy Industrial Structure. Structural Steel

Fabrication Market was valued at $ 6.111 Billion
in 2020 and is projected to reach $ 9.78 Billion
in 2028, growing at a CAGR of 5.36% from
2021 to 2028. The Indian structural steel market
is expected witness significant growth during
the forecast period, owing to factors, such as the
increasing demand from manufacturing sector,
the rising preference toward pre-engineered
buildings and components, and government
initiatives for infrastructure development
activities. Additionally, the booming commercial
building sector, along with Indian government's
initiatives, such as increasing the construction of
green buildings, smart cities, and make in India
scheme, is expected to boost the structural
steel fabrication market in India. Currently
global manufacturing companies' are focusing
to diversify their production by setting-up
low-cost plants in countries other than China,
is expected to drive the India's manufacturing
sector to grow more than six times by 2025, to
USD 1 trillion. Thus, this is driving the demand
in the structural steel fabrication market in
the country. Government initiatives, such as
the construction of metro stations, new no
frill airports, international terminals, industry
corridors, power plants, and ports, require heavy
steel structures. Also, in renewable energy
generation like Wind and Nuclear Energy,
structural steel finds its use. This is further
increasing the demand of the market.
