- The Raebareli plant currently has a "good order book" and is "loaded" with orders, enabling expected strong revenue growth in PEB India over the next few quarters. (Page 25) - The PEB division currently has a "large order book" which puts pressure on the company to execute quickly and convert orders into revenue. (Page 18) - The company is undertaking significant orders in the semiconductor segment, including plants for Tata Electronics. (Page 23) - No specific quantitative value of the order book is mentioned, but overall the tone suggests a robust and growing order backlog across key verticals such as PEB India, U.S. Metal Buildings, Process Equipment, and Body in White. (Page 4, 23, 25) - The strong order book and effective resolution of execution challenges, especially in the North Indian plant, supports expectations of high sequential growth. (Page 25)
