Bottom Line

Infrastructure and IT services are leading the charge with Railtel and Black Box securing massive contracts, signaling robust demand in telecom and data centres. Meanwhile, healthcare players like KIMS and Manipal Health show volume-led growth, suggesting sector resilience despite margin pressures in chemicals.

Will Railtel's recent wins in MPLS and IaaS contracts signal a broader shift in government spending towards digital infrastructure over traditional hardware?

How sustainable is Black Box's $950 million backlog given the current volatility in global data center capex cycles and hyperscaler spending patterns?

Can Ganesh Benzoplast successfully reverse its Q1 margin compression trend, or will rising input costs continue to pressure profitability despite the legal victory?
