Shveta Arya, managing director, Cummins India, said, I am pleased to share that Cummins India has recorded a revenue of over Rs 3,000 crore and continues steady execution on our profitable growth strategy, supported by volume leverage and operational efficiencies.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) remains stable compared to the last quarter, which shows rapid momentum. Other macroeconomic indicators, like Index of Industrial Production (IIP), crude oil price, show supportive trends. With indirect taxation reforms and further reduction in repo rate, we believe the Indian economy continues to be positioned for an estimated 7.4% GDP growth.

On its outlook, the company stated, "Domestic demand continues to demonstrate resilience, supported by sustained capital expenditure across key sectors. While exports face near-term pressures amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, we expect greater stability over the medium to long term. We remain watchful of policy developments and see continued collaboration with trade partners as a key enabler of growth across our end markets.

Against this backdrop, we are executing with discipline maintaining prudent capital allocation, strong cost controls, and a healthy balance sheet and cash position. Customer satisfaction and shareholder value creation continue to be our primary focus. Backed by reliable technology, talent capabilities, a dependable brand, diverse products, strong manufacturing capabilities, and a wide distribution and service network, the Company is well-positioned to serve customers efficiently.
