GE Power India Limited Charts Robust Turnaround & Strategic Demerger, Targets Services Growth
GEPIL’s Turnaround Highlights (FY26 vs. Prior Years):
- Soaring Profitability: EBITDA has seen a remarkable surge, reaching ₹277 crores.
- Strengthened Balance Sheet: Net Worth climbed to ₹483 crores, accompanied by a robust bank balance of ₹880 crores.
- Credit Rating Upgrade: ICRA has uplifted GEPIL’s long-term credit rating to BBB+(Stable), reflecting enhanced financial stability.
- Shareholder Rewards: A clear sign of newfound health, the company declared a dividend in 2026.
This impressive recovery is underpinned by a sharp strategic shift. GEPIL has decisively moved towards high-margin, cash-accretive services, expanding its presence in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fleets both domestically and across international markets like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Australia. Significant inorganic levers also contributed, including a ₹295 crore EBITDA boost from the Hydro & Gas slump sale in FY24-25 and a substantial ₹343 crore cash inflow from the BHEL settlement.
Looking ahead, GEPIL isn’t slowing down. The proposed strategic demerger of its Durgapur business signals a commitment to further operational focus and the potential unlocking of shareholder value. This move, combined with continued emphasis on core services growth—evidenced by a 34% overall order booking increase in FY26—positions GEPIL as a dynamic player navigating India’s evolving power sector. Investors will undoubtedly be keen to delve deeper into these plans during the upcoming calls.
