CE sales increased quarterly, with Q4 sales higher by 19% over the third quarter (Q3) in FY22. Industry analyst in ICEMA and Managing Director of Schwing Stetter India, V G Sakthikumar, said that in the first three-quarters of FY22, sales volumes remained flat, with only about 2.5% growth, as compared to FY21. He added that road construction witnessed slow progress, lower budget allocation for airport development, and inadequate utilisation of funds for real estate and infrastructure, resulting in lower equipment sales. High-speed metro trains and metro rail construction gained momentum for material handling, concreting and material processing segments.
