On the performance Dr. Nalin J.

We were able to garner new orders worth ₹ 3,685 Crores in FY22. We believe the order award will intensify in FY23. Our robust execution capabilities coupled with a strong repository of asset base enabling efficient execution reflected in strong revenue growth. Our healthy order book of ₹ 11,936 Crores ensures sustainable growth momentum.
The strong impetus from the Government on pushing infrastructure development projects in the recent budget announcement alongside pandemic induced incentives and favourable policies such as lowering of bank guarantee requirement, faster clearance of bills and speedier clearances/approvals are very positive for the sector and overall economy. Companies with credible balance sheets and execution track records would be benefiting most from the same. At JKIL, we firmly believe that this is the beginning towards further improvement in return ratios.
With a comfortable debt equity ratio, we have sufficient headroom to capitalise on opportunities of huge Infrastructure development in the country. With the sustained order inflow and our expertise in executing and delivering projects on time we are optimistic that we shall witness a healthy and sustainable growth. The Company has sufficient cash as well as unutilised working capital facilities to undertake large projects and also to ramp up execution of existing projects.”
