Nilesh Shah, MD & CEO, Envision Capital, says over the next 5 to 10 years, the pecking order in the Energy, Manufacturing, Infra (EMI) space will still be dominated by ABB, Siemens, L&T. These are essentially the companies which essentially are going to be the enablers of the EMI space. I do not think they are going to get bigger and bigger and you are really not seeing new players coming in there and they have the trust of their customers because these are such critical equipment that you are not going to compromise on anybody else and you are essentially going to go for the established players. It is these kinds of companies which will continue to dominate for the foreseeable future. Shah says: “Within EMI, if I were to use energy as well as infra, Hitachi Energy has been a position that we have now owned for three, three-and-a-half years. In this space, we have been owning KSB, which we have partly exited. We have been owning TD Power. We have been owning Jash Engineering” We currently are a $4 trillion economy. The financial market is about $4-4.5 trillion. In the journey from $4 to $10 trillion, when it will happen, we do not know. What will happen is what we both know, which is that $5-6 trillion will get created in the next three to five years. Do you agree with me? Nilesh Shah: Yes, that is right.
