Adegbile Adewunmi, managing director, Cummins India, said, ?Demand remained healthy across key domestic markets, supported by data centers, manufacturing, realty and continued growth in the distribution business.

Its proven technologies, experienced people, trusted brand, relevant product portfolio, manufacturing depth, wide distribution and service reach underpin its commitment to long-term value for customers and shareholders.
