India economic outlook: Infrastructure margins and export growth trends
Reports indicate mixed economic outlooks for Indian industrial and export sectors. Infrastructure companies may experience margin recovery starting in the second quarter of FY27 as project execution improves and cost pressures ease, despite current softness caused by commodity inflation and higher input costs.
Meanwhile, the revenue growth for Indian exporters, which was bolstered by rupee depreciation and high prices in Q1FY27, is expected to slow in the second half of the year. While the IT sector saw earnings growth cushioned by the weak rupee, analysts warn that these temporary tailwinds are likely to fade.
