CRISIL sees drop in India Inc Q4 topline growth

April 9: CRISIL Research, an independent and integrated research house, expects India Inc’s revenue growth to slip to a 7-quarter low of 2.5% on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis in the four quarter (January-March) of 2014-15.

In a report, the research house said the weak performance of investment-linked sectors and low global commodity prices will more than offset the moderate growth anticipated in export-oriented and consumer-driven sectors.

In the preceding quarter as well, revenue growth was a tepid 5.4%, it said.

“On the profitability front, though, we foresee a marginal uptick in EBITDA margins,” the report said.
