Hitachi Energy India Q1 results: Profit jumps to ₹132 cr on revenue rise

Hitachi Energy India on Wednesday posted multi-fold increase in net profit at ₹131.60 crore for June quarter 2025-26 mainly due to higher revenues and lower base effect.

The company logged a net profit of ₹10.42 crore in the same period a year ago.

Revenue rose to ₹1,529.84 crore in the quarter from ₹1,327.33 crore a year ago, a company statement said. This was achieved through effective order execution during the quarter and continued improvement in overall operational efficiency.

With effective execution of high-margin orders, sustained operational excellence, a good product mix, and increased export momentum, the company saw a significant YoY growth in profit after tax (net profit) on a lower base, it said.

 

Furthermore, it stated that the steady collection of receivables, along with advances, resulted in a positive cash impact in the quarter, supporting the company's commitment toward improving margins and strengthening overall operational efficiency and capacity.

In the June quarter, the orders totalled ₹11,339.2 crore, higher than ₹2,436.7 crore a year ago, led by the large project win of Bhadla-Fatehpur High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link.

The company also received a bulk order from POWERGRID to supply 30 units of 765-kilovolt (kV) 500 megavolt-ampere (MVA) single-phase transformers.

In terms of segment, transmission continues to lead the order book, followed by orders from the rail & metro and data center segments.

Service clocked a 91 per cent YoY order growth; some of the key service orders include SCADA upgrades, equipment replacement, and annual maintenance contracts.

Meanwhile, exports maintained consistency by contributing 24.7 per cent without HVDC orders in Q1 FY26?, it stated.

In the quarter, the company received export orders from Europe, South America, and Asia, it stated.

The order backlog stood at ₹29,125.3 crore during the period, providing revenue visibility for the coming quarters.
