    Management Summary

    GE Power India Limited reported a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue up 22% YoY to ₹386 crores and PBT before exceptional items significantly increasing to ₹131 crores. This performance was driven by a strategic pivot towards high-margin, shorter cash cycle core services, which saw a 21% QoQ increase in order inflow. While the overall order backlog decreased due to FGD contract terminations, the company maintains a healthy normalized EBITDA of ~14.5% for the quarter and expects double-digit EBITDA for the full year. The demerger of the Durgapur facility is progressing, and the company is focused on disciplined execution and cash management.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Macroeconomic and Sectoral Environment

    India's macroeconomic fundamentals remain resilient, with real GDP growth projected at around 7.4% for 2026, supported by broad-based demand. Inflation pressures have moderated to 1.7%, and monetary conditions remain supportive. The government continues strategic support for energy and related sectors, ensuring reliable baseload supply while scaling renewables. However, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate revised FGD installation limits, impacting the thermal power sector, with 630 GW limited by Dec 2027/2028 and 70 GW (Category C) removed from scope.

    02

    Q3 FY26 Performance Highlights

    GE Power India Limited reported a strong Q3 FY26, with revenue increasing 22% YoY to ₹386 crores, up from ₹317 crores in Q3 FY25. Profit before tax and exceptional item📎s from continuing operations surged to ₹131 crores, a significant increase from ₹23 crores in the prior year. This reflects sustained efforts in improving operating performance. The company achieved a normalized EBITDA of approximately 14.5% for the quarter and 10% for the nine months ended December 2025.

    03

    Strategic Shift and Order Book Dynamics

    The company's strategic shift towards high-margin, shorter cash cycle, and lower working capital intensive opportunities is yielding results. Core services order inflow grew 21% QoQ to ₹136 crores in December 2025. Total order inflow for Q3 FY26 was ₹141 crores, down from ₹461 crores in Q3 FY25 due to a large one-off📎 order in the previous year. The order backlog as of December 31, 2025, stands at ₹1,671 crores, providing approximately two years of execution visibility. This backlog includes about ₹450 crores from EPC/new-build and the balance from services, with 53% of core services orders coming from non-GEPIL assets.

    04

    Balance Sheet Strengthening and Durgapur Demerger

    The company has made significant progress in strengthening its balance sheet. Legacy receivables, including BHEL outstanding, have moved into structured settlement and collection phases, with ₹216 crores received year-to-date and an additional ₹124-125 crores expected by March 2026. The standalone networth improved to ₹378 crores as of December 2025. The strategic demerger of the Durgapur facility to JSW Energy, effective July 1, 2025, is progressing, aiming to streamline the portfolio, reduce fixed cost exposure, and sharpen focus on asset-light, service-led opportunities. This transaction is expected to close within calendar year 2026.

    05

    Profitability and One-off Items

    The significant increase in profitability for Q3 FY26 was partly boosted by certain one-off📎 items. These include a reversal of ECL provision for BHEL collections amounting to ₹37 crores, Solapur extension of time and LD settlement with a ₹22 crores provision reversal, and Jaypee Bina and Nigrie full and final settlement with a ₹25 crores positive impact. Additionally, a provision of ₹42 crores (including ₹15 crores for discontinued operations) was recorded due to New Labour Codes, classified as an exceptional item📎.

    06

    Core Services Growth and Market Opportunity

    The company is actively pursuing growth in core services, targeting India's installed base of approximately ₹2,500 crores, which includes both GEPIL and non-GEPIL assets. Their strategy involves focusing on geometrically similar assets, including Chinese and Indian manufacturers, to ensure cost-effective service delivery. Management expects core services to constitute around 60% of the volume mix in the next two years, growing to 80% thereafter, indicating a sustained shift towards this segment. The company is also active in steam turbine upgrades, with 200+ units (70 GW) identified for upgrades, and 1 GW already ordered.
