Hitachi Energy India reported strong financial performance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, with consolidated net profit rising more than twofold to Rs 294 crore, compared to the same period a year earlier.
The company also posted a substantial year-on-year increase in operational revenue for the June quarter, reflecting robust demand across its core business segments.
New orders for the first quarter reached Rs 5,096.5 crore, bringing the company's total order backlog to a record Rs 32,222.1 crore. This backlog, equivalent to several quarters of revenue at current run-rates, provides meaningful visibility into future earnings for the capital-intensive transmission equipment business, where manufacturing and delivery cycles typically span multiple quarters. Hitachi Energy India attributed the growth to strong momentum in the energy transition and energy security sectors.
Hitachi Energy India, a listed subsidiary of the global Hitachi Energy group, is a leading manufacturer of transformers, switchgear, and other power transmission and distribution equipment. The company serves utilities, industries, and infrastructure projects across India and international markets, benefiting from growing investments in grid modernization, renewable energy integration, and electrification. Its global parentage also positions it to participate in cross-border grid projects and technology transfers tied to high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission and smart grid deployments.
The broader Indian power transmission and distribution equipment sector has seen elevated demand in recent years, driven by government-led initiatives to upgrade grid infrastructure, expand renewable energy capacity, and strengthen power supply reliability. India's target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel installed capacity by 2030 has intensified the need for transformers, switchgear, and associated grid equipment to evacuate renewable power from generation hubs to demand centers. Companies in this space, including GE Vernova T&D India, Voltamp Transformers, Transformers & Rectifiers (India), and Indo Tech Transformers, have experienced improved order books amid rising capital expenditure in the power sector.
