Order Book & Market Momentum

Record Backlog: The order backlog reached a historic high of ₹14,380 Crore of approximately $1.7 billion), providing revenue visibility for more than three years.

Order Intake: New order bookings in the quarter grew by 41% YoY, fueled by both domestic demand for Green Energy Corridors and strong export markets.

Key Wins: Recent major wins include HVDC projects for Adani Energy Solutions and substantial orders from Power Grid Corporation (PGCIL) for 765 kV equipment.

Strategic Highlights & Management Commentary

Margin Sustainability: Management expressed confidence in maintaining EBITDA margins in the “high mid-20s” for the remainder of the year. The current margin expansion is attributed to better pricing power, a higher mix of technology-intensive products like GIS and operational efficiencies.

Capacity Expansion: The board has approved a ₹806 Crore capex plan to expand manufacturing at Vadodara, Hosur, and Padappai. This aims to increase transformer and reactor capacity by over 50% by 2028.

Energy Transition: Leadership highlighted that India’s goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2032 is creating a structural shift in grid requirements, favoring GE Vernova’s high-end switchgear and automation solutions.

Debt-Free Status: The company remains debt-free with a robust cash balance of approximately ₹1,520 Crore, allowing it to self-fund its massive expansion plans.

Leadership Changes

CEO Re-appointment: Mr. Sandeep Zanzaria has been re-appointed as Managing Director and CEO for a further three-year term (April 2026-April 2029).

New Board Member: Ms. Rashmi Joshi (former Executive Director at Castrol India) was appointed as an Independent Director.

Key Risks & Watch Items

Valuation: The stock currently trades at an elevated P/E of 81x, suggesting high market expectations for flawless execution.

Labor Codes: The ₹69.3 Cr provision is a preliminary estimate. The final impact will depend on the definitive rules issued by the Ministry of Labour.

Export Mix: While exports offer higher margins, they also introduce global supply chain and geopolitical risks.

Strategic Bottom Line for Investors

Profitability is Structurally Higher: The company has moved away from low-margin legacy contracts. Current margins suggest they are now operating in a “new normal” of high-teens profitability.

Order-to-Cash Efficiency: The bottom line is supported by an “outstanding” ROCE of over 95%, showing that management is generating massive returns on the capital they deploy.

Financial Fortress: Since the company is debt-free, the bottom line is not being eaten away by interest costs, allowing almost all operational gains to flow directly to shareholders.
