Oct 16 (Reuters) -Indian engineering and technology services firm L&T Technology Services LTEH.NS on Wednesday reported second-quarter revenue that edged past estimates, boosted by large deals signed in the previous quarters, and maintained its full-year revenue forecast.
The company's revenue rose 7.8%to 25.73 billion rupees ($306.34 million) for the quarter ended Sept. 30. Analysts had expected 25.67 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
The Larsen and Toubro LART.NS group firm reaffirmed its full-year 2025 revenue growth forecast of 8-10% .
Net profit rose 1.3% to 3.2 billion rupees in the quarter, lower than analysts' estimate of 3.33 billion rupees.
Shares of the company closed 0.7% higher, ahead of the results.
KEY CONTEXT
Engineering, research, and design (ER&D) services, which include technology support to industries such as automotive and communications, contribute a sixth of the revenue to India's $254 billion technology sector.
Companies such as L&T Technology Services and peer Tata Elxsi TTEX.NS are likely to benefit from growth in the ER&D sector, which, according to the National Association of Software and Service Companies, is expected to quadruple to as much as $170 billion between 2023 and 2030.
L&T Technology has bagged large deals from auto parts maker Forvia FRVIA.PA and energy giant Shell SHEL.L in the last few quarters, aiding its revenue growth.
Last week, Tata Elxsi reported an increase in its second-quarter profit, with revenue in line with street expectations, fuelled by healthy demand in its transportation unit.
