On margins, Kejriwal said, “Margin profile is lower because these were quoted sometime back when the metal prices were slightly low. So right now the margins are low, but we do expect that the margins should go back to normal 8-9 percent but as of today the margins are lower in some of the orders, but other are okay.”

On order book, he said, “Today our order book is roughly around Rs 19,000 crore, of which around 55 percent is from the T&D sector.”
