Key Points

Positve
  • Hitachi Energy India Ltd (BOM:543187) reported a robust 26.5% year-on-year growth in order intake (excluding HVDC), reaching INR 5,096.5 crore, driven by strong demand across renewables, data centers, and industries.
  • The company achieved a record order backlog of INR 32,222.1 crore, providing strong revenue visibility for the coming quarters.
  • Revenue from operations grew by 68% year-on-year to INR 2,493 crore, with profit after tax margin expanding to 11.8% from 8.9% in the prior year.
  • The company secured its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project, a 165 MW/330 MWh order, marking a strategic entry into a new high-growth segment.
  • Hitachi Energy India Ltd (BOM:543187) began construction of its 20th manufacturing facility in Karjan, Vadodara, a fully digital smart factory, to support future capacity expansion and localization.
  • The company won multiple data center orders, including a notable 42.5 MVA project in Hyderabad, reflecting strong momentum in the emerging digital infrastructure sector.
  • Export contribution remained healthy at approximately 25% of revenues, with a significant European order for a 2 GW wind power evacuation project (worth ~INR 1,700 crore) secured during the quarter.
Negative
  • The company reported an unrealized foreign exchange loss of INR 36.37 crore during the quarter, which negatively impacted reported EBITDA and profit margins.
  • Gross margins contracted slightly on a year-on-year basis due to a shift in product mix, although management noted consistency with the full-year level.
  • Order intake in the transmission segment was temporarily weak due to timing issues, while railway and metro projects are facing delays, with pick-up expected only in the second half of the year.
  • The BESS business is still in its early stages, with margins expected to be lower initially until technology matures and localization efforts are completed.
  • Management acknowledged ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, geopolitical crises, and elevated commodity prices as potential challenges to project execution and profitability.
  • The company faces potential competitive pressure from the recent government approval allowing four Chinese players to enter the market, though management downplayed the immediate impact.
