BHEL Share Price in Focus as Robust Order Book Points to Accelerated Revenue Growth on Rising Demand

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is poised for substantial revenue growth, driven by a strong order book and improved execution capabilities.  

This comes amidst increasing demand in the capital goods sector, although rising input costs and geopolitical risks pose challenges to profit margins. 

Robust Order Pipeline and Execution 

BHEL's order book stands at ₹2.4 trillion, marking a 22% increase year-on-year, and is over 7.2 times its trailing twelve-month revenues. The company reported a turnover of approximately ₹32,350 crore for FY26, reflecting an 18% growth over FY25.  

Total order inflows for FY26 were around ₹75,000 crore, despite being 19% lower than FY25. A significant order of ₹13,500 crore was secured from NTPC for the Telangana Stage-II STPP. 

Sectoral Growth and Challenges 

The capital goods sector is experiencing steady growth, supported by large order books and favourable policies.  

Sectors such as defence, transmission and distribution (T&D), renewables, and thermal power are showing potential for growth.  

However, rising costs of raw materials, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, may compress operating margins. Power companies are expected to report revenue growth in the mid-single digits or low teens. 

Power and Industrial Sector Dynamics 

BHEL's order wins in the power sector amounted to ₹59,000 crore, a 27.5% year-on-year decline, while the industrial sector saw a 45% increase to ₹16,000 crore.  

The Q4FY26 order intake was ₹29,100 crore, up 17% quarter-on-quarter but 67% lower year-on-year due to a high base effect from large orders in Q4FY25.

Impact of Geopolitical Factors 

Companies with operations in West Asia, like L&T, KEC, and Kalpataru, face challenges due to geopolitical tensions.  

Export-oriented businesses may experience delays in dispatches and order finalisation. 

However, firms without such exposures are less affected. In Q4FY26, power consumption rose by 2% year-on-year to 425 billion units, with peak demand also increasing by 2% to 245 GW. 

Bharat Heavy Electricals Share Price Performance 

As of April 20, 2026, at 3:30 PM, Bharat Heavy Electricals share price on NSE was closed at ₹324.43 down by 0.37% from the previous closing price. 

Conclusion 

BHEL's strong order book and execution capabilities suggest significant revenue growth potential. While rising input costs and geopolitical risks may impact margins, the company's strategic position in the capital goods sector remains robust.
