As the euphoria over high-speed train orders settled, the BHEL stock, too, on Friday gave up all the gains it clocked a day earlier. And there are reasons for this. If analysts are to be believed, there is not much change expected in BHEL's prospects in the near-term, and secondly, the high-speed train orders may not be enough to move the needle.The stock had gained 3.8 per cent to Rs 137.40 on Thursday, compared to Wednesday's closing price of Rs 132.55. On Friday, it fell 3.9 per cent to close at Rs 132. The street optimism had increased on Thursday, as rolling stock for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project will be sourced from a joint venture between BHEL and Kawasaki of Japan. This opportunity, however, may not be big enough to substantially improve BHEL's near-term prospects. For one, the project is estimated to be completed by 2023.

In an otherwise quiet day of trade, BHEL's stock was among the top gainers, up about 4.4 cent reacting positively to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) observations. The government body has identified power generation plants with capacities totalling to 72 gigawatts (GW) which need replacement to comply with the new environmental norms notified in December 2015. One GW is 1,000 megawatts.The new norms specify for reduced sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions among others. To be compliant with these norms, the power plants need to install flue-gas desulfurization units. However, given certain constraints, the CEA has identified about 72GW of power plants where installation of this unit is not feasible and hence these plants need to be refurbished to meet the emission norms. Failure to do so may result in a shut down or phasing out of the plants. Therefore with CEA identifying the plants which require refurnishing, it provides an opportunity for BHEL, the country's largest ..
