Sunil Mathur, managing director and chief executive officer, Siemens, said, “While strong revenues came in from our digital industries, smart infrastructure and mobility businesses, our order income growth came from our energy business driven primarily by our transmission business.

There was a decline in new orders in our digital industries automation business on account of destocking following normalization in demand. We expect this to normalize from Q3 onwards. Capex demand across segments, largely driven by capex spending in public infrastructure, continues to be good. Private capex is also beginning to pick up.”
