Management say:

Commenting on UIDAI project, Mastek said CNBC-TV18 today that the project is big, but not as large as reported. However, it sees a lot of scope “over a period of time.”

The company’s chairman, managing director and CEO, Sudhakar Ram said, the firm’s empanelment need not guarantee them winning an order, nevertheless, Mastek is “interested in the public distribution deals (PDS) that have been of the size of Rs 5 crore to Rs 10 crore.”

Ram also said that the margins made in government projects are lower than those in the international deals. “In India, we would operate at between 55% and 75% of our international margins,” he added.
