Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Tushar Kawedia, CFO of IRB Infrastructure Developers said, "Our outlook for FY23 is at least we will be taking it up by 15 percent, because of the healthy order book we have. We have an order book of almost Rs 16,000 crore plus both EPC and O&M and with that order book our next year target will be at least 20 percent higher than what we have achieved for FY22."
