The Bulletin observed that India's private corporate sector has demonstrated significant resilience and adaptability amid a series of economic disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

The period of 2019-20 witnessed weak domestic activity and sluggish private consumption, which further worsened during the pandemic, leading to a sharp contraction in sales and profitability.

However, the corporate sector rebounded strongly thereafter, supported by a mix of fiscal and monetary policies, pandemic-led pent-up demand, and effective cost management.

Sales growth peaked at 32.5 per cent in 2021-22 before normalising to 7.2 per cent in 2024-25, indicating a transition from a rapid recovery phase to a more stable growth path.

The analysis further showed that corporates continued to deleverage their balance sheets, which will help them undertake new investment activities. Medium and small firms, too, improved their debt servicing capacity, contributing to overall financial stability.

The study noted that the corporate sector's ability to navigate crises and emerge stronger, reinforcing its position as a major driver of India's economic growth.

Operating profit margins of companies also remained resilient, with large firms consistently outperforming medium and small enterprises.

The study also highlighted the corporate sector's ability to navigate crises and emerge stronger, reinforcing its position as a major driver of India's economic growth.

With a robust financial foundation, improved efficiency, and adaptive strategies, the Indian corporate sector remains well-positioned to capitalise on future opportunities and contribute to sustained economic expansion. (ANI)
