“We are expecting at least a 25 per cent CAGR growth over the next three years because the market has turned around quite well looking at the healthy demand scenario from a number of countries. A lot of countries are trying to move away from fossil-based generation to renewable generation because of net zero targets and that is leading to a growth in power transmission investments,” Bansal said.
