Highest-ever quarterly order intake
Despite the pressure on profitability, Schneider Electric Infrastructure recorded its highest-ever quarterly order intake of ₹915 crore in the first quarter of financial year 2027, driven by demand across emerging segments such as data centres and semiconductors.
Deepak Sharma, Zone President, Greater India, Schneider Electric, and Board Director, Schneider Electric Infrastructure, said that the record order intake reflected customer relationships, the company’s technology-led portfolio and opportunities across established and emerging segments. Sharma said the company remained focused on disciplined execution, portfolio enrichment and opportunities in high-growth segments, while profitability continued to face pressure from costs on certain legacy projects.
Udai Singh, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Schneider Electric Infrastructure, said, “Q1 FY27 demonstrates our strong market position, reflected in record quarterly order intake, steady revenue growth, and a robust expansion of our order backlog.”
He added that customer demand across key segments supported the company’s strategy and execution capabilities.
