Thermax is expecting big projects to be back in the steel, refining and petrochemicals and power sectors. Managing director and chief executive Ashish Bhandari told ET's Kalpana Pathak in an interview that he is optimistic about the power sector with the government talking about large power plants. Edited excerpts: What is Thermax's capex plan for this fiscal? How do you see the order book? We don't disclose capex numbers. Regarding the order book, I expect this year to be one of the most exciting. Energy transition, industrial growth across multiple sectors and urbanisation — all three of these levers are, in my view, tailwinds for business. All of last year, we didn't have any big project announcements, but as I look at this year, I expect big projects to be back in play, be it in steel, refining and petrochemicals, or power. I'm quite optimistic about power, with the government talking about large power plants again, and they are moving at a very fast pace. That is a portion of the market which I wasn't expecting to evolve, and certainly not at this pace… Also, in our standard products where we do a small range of boilers, steam equipment, water, clean air solutions, industrial cooling solutions, we continue to see good growth. We also expect exports to be better. Our exports haven't done well for a couple of years as our India business grew a lot faster than exports.

BSP National Co-ordinator and party chief Mayawati’s nephew Akash Anand is virtually leading the party campaign in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as she appears to have taken a back seat. Anand spoke with Rakesh Mohan Chaturvedi on a host of issues. Q: BSP had contested the 2019 general elections in alliance with SP and RLD, winning 10 seats. Why fight alone this time? A: If you look at 2014 and 2019 data, we were hovering around 19% percent. On cutting into Opposition votes, we want to make absolutely clear that when we contest alone we maintain our vote-share but in alliance our partner cuts into our vote-share, helping BJP. We are quite confident and competent this time. Does BSP feel that though it is able to transfer its vote to its pre-poll ally, its partners like SP or RLD do not? Historically, it is very clear that BSP is able to divert its votes to its alliance partner, but the same cannot be said for the other side.
