Why Are Investors Worried About BHEL Order Book?
Despite robust earnings, fresh order inflow was down a significant 85% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to around ₹4,000 crore in Q2FY27 from ₹26,700 crore in Q1FY27.
The drop was mainly caused by a temporary decline in orders for big thermal power equipment.
At the end of September 2026, BHEL's order book was robust at around ₹2.57 lakh crore, which is almost 6.8 times its trailing 12-month revenue.
A healthy order book gives visibility to execute future projects. But the pace of new contract awards remains a key factor for continued growth in the years to come.
BHEL Business Growth & Outlook FY27
Power generation, power transmission, transportation, and industrial and defence equipment are manufactured by BHEL.
Revenue increased approximately 31% to ₹17,000 crore in H1FY27, and EBITDA increased to ₹1,530 crore against ₹44 crore in the corresponding year.
The company has also announced a further ₹500 crore capital expenditure plan for manufacturing facilities at Haridwar.
Capacity addition was around 2,260 MW in H1FY27 against the full-year target of 4,790 MW.
The ongoing thermal power build-out in India is offering opportunities for equipment suppliers, but competition, project delays and working capital requirements remain key risks.
Footnote
BHEL’s Q2FY27 results were marked by higher profitability, higher revenue and improved operating margins. But the sharp slowdown in fresh orders brought selling pressure on October 15. The small rally on October 16 shows some price stability, but the company’s performance will continue to be influenced by upcoming order announcements and project execution.
