The company's income from operations was down 20% to Rs 5,068 crore from Rs 6,353 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal.
BHEL’s lower sales primarily due to slowdown in execution – as the clients were unable to arrange resources and delay in project clearance. In addition, BHEL was forced to suspend some of dispatches for non-payment.
Lack of short-cycle orders continue to hit the industry segment, while slower pace of execution on account of client side issues to impact the orders from the power sector, says analyst at Karvy Stock Broking.
