At a group level, we now have three well-balanced growth vectors for the future. Our recent carve-out, Cyient Semiconductors Private Limited, focuses on Technology Development and Disruption led by AI. The DET business focuses on Technology Services with Engineering competence as the core, and our DLM business focuses on Engineering-led Product manufacturing opportunities. With this, we are well-positioned to address a wide spectrum of growth opportunities in this emerging macro and geopolitical environment.

On the DET front, for FY25, DET business delivered revenue at US$ 688 Mn, de-growth of 3% constant currency YoY. DET EBIT margin stood at 13.5%, declined by 261 bps YoY. Order intake for DET for the full year stood at US$ 836 Mn, down YoY by about 7%, part of the de-growth is attributed to evolving uncertainties through FY25 compared to the previous year. We won 24 large deals in DET business with a total contract potential of US$ 370.8 Mn in FY25.

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to Sukamal Banerjee, who has joined us as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cyient DET. As we continue to strengthen our core engineering offerings and build technology-led intelligent engineering solutions, Sukamal will provide a solid and stable foundation to lead Cyient DET through a transformative growth phase.

Given our balanced portfolio, we see many opportunities that we can capitalize on for the DET business. Our top customers have demonstrated strong growth this fiscal year despite the headwinds in demand. While there are some uncertainties in the near term, we are working very closely with our customers in navigating through the current challenges. We expect this to last at least through the first half of FY26. I am confident that with our market positioning, global presence, and the new leadership in place, we will emerge stronger to drive sustainable growth in the medium – long term.”

Grundfos CUE 120 Sets New Benchmark for Energy-Efficient Pump Technology: Engineered in India for India

Grundfos CUE 120 Revolutionizes Energy-Efficient Pump Technology, Engineered for IndiaPune, India  April 25th, 2025: Grundfos, a global provider of pumping solutions, has introduced the CUE 120, a variable frequency drive developed in India for the Indian market. This new product aims to offer more precise control of pump performance with a focus on energy efficiency.

Research indicates that a significant majority of variable frequency drives (VFDs)—approximately 70%—currently operate using default factory settings, which are often not optimised for their specific applications. This lack of customisation can lead to suboptimal energy efficiency, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption and increased operational costs. Consequently, many systems fail to achieve their full potential in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing performance.

The CUE 120 is designed to address these challenges by offering a solution tailored specifically to the Indian market, enabling more precise control and improved energy efficiency aligned with local requirements.

Launching Grundfos CUE 120, Usha Subramaniam, Country President India, said, “The Grundfos CUE 120 is more than just a product; it embodies our commitment to innovation and sustainability. Designed for India, it empowers industries, buildings, and communities with smarter, energy-efficient pumping solutions, enabling a greener future. This launch marks a historic milestone for Grundfos India, as our first locally developed offering to the market, achieved through seamless cross-functional collaboration.”

Optimised for motors up to 22 kW, the CUE 120 seamlessly integrates with any Grundfos pump range, delivering superior performance and efficiency. Designed to enhance energy usage, cut costs, and improve reliability, it empowers industries, municipalities, and businesses across India with smoother, moe sustainable operations.

Shankar Rajaram, Head of Sales, IND, INDO, added, “The Grundfos CUE 120 was born from a clear vision—to create a cost-effective and accessible drive tailored to the Indian market. Through deep market analysis, we recognised the need for a drive that is simple to install, operate, and control. Designed with efficiency and affordability at its core, the CUE 120 empowers customers with seamless performance, making sustainable pumping attainable.”

By maximising the efficiency of existing pumps and systems, the CUE 120 drives smarter performance while reducing environmental impact. With plans to increase kW capacity in the future, Grundfos continues to push the boundaries of efficiency, ensuring even greater flexibility and scalability for future needs.

Grundfos invites you to witness this transformative leap in pump technology and join us in shaping a sustainable future.
