“Despite turbulent global geopolitical dynamics, the Indian economic landscape continues to demonstrate resilience and stable growth. Driven by ongoing public infrastructure investments and a revival in private investments in areas like energy transition, data centres, and real estate, India’s economic growth is expected to continue,” said S.N. Subrahmanyan, Chairman and Managing Director of L&T.

He added that the Middle East continues to invest in traditional sectors like oil and gas, alongside infrastructure development, while also allocating funds for energy transition and non-oil industrialisation.

“The GCC, led by Saudi Arabia, is poised to continue strengthening both the physical and digital infrastructure of the region, while monetising its oil and gas assets. As GCC countries transition from oil to clean energy and pursue various industrialisation initiatives, the region’s growth opportunities remain attractive,” L&T said in its outlook.

However, the company cautioned that recent US-led tariff announcements pose a risk of slowing global cross-border trade and investment flows, which could lead to higher costs and reduced productivity. In addition, volatility in crude oil prices and disrupted supply chains may present further challenges.

L&T said that it will focus on timely execution of its large order book, maintain liquidity, and ensure optimal use of capital and resources, while remaining cautiously optimistic about new emerging opportunities.
