As of today we have an outstanding order book of Rs 1,05,000 crore. I don’t expect [any cancellations] because 85% of the orders are from the Central and state governments. We have examined all the orders thoroughly and [they] have been funded directly by state governments and the Central Government and also by PSC and REC. Rs 1, 05,000 crore is our outstanding order book and this year, we expect to close an order book of about Rs 40,000 crore. I don’t expect any slowdown in orders.'
