“While the geopolitical tensions have eased partially, the impact of global tax and trade policies on economic situation is still undetermined in the near to mid-term future. We believe that despite this uncertainty, India is on the path to sustained economic growth considering strong domestic demand and stable export demand. The INR/USD rate, crude oil prices amongst other key indicators are stabilizing and tax collections remain strong,” Arya said.

Going ahead, the company remains cautiously optimistic about momentum in the domestic as well as international market. The company continues to monitor both Indian and global policy developments and remains confident in its ability to sail through any accompanying challenges, Arya added.
