Employee costs rose to 6.8% of total expenses, compared to the typical 4% to 5%, primarily due to new hires for Adani-related projects. The increase in staffing was essential for handling the new orders. Despite the current challenges, the company's management remains positive about reducing labour shortages and capitalising on its solid order book, as strategic hiring continues to support upcoming projects.
