Mumbai - Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. reported a sharp rise in its operating profit for the December quarter, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation rising nearly 84% on year to INR 7.72 billion, helped by better operating leverage and higher execution in the power segment and select industrial businesses. Analysts had expected EBITDA in the range of INR 5.55 billion–INR 6.89 billion.

The state-owned capital goods maker recorded a rise in order inflows during the quarter, led by the power segment. Order inflow during the quarter was INR 459 billion, of which the power segment accounted for 76% and the industry, including exports, accounted for 24%.

As of Dec. 31, the company's outstanding order book was INR 2.23 trillion, with the power segment accounting for 80% and the industry, including exports, accounting for the remaining 20%.

BHEL secured large engineering, procurement, and construction and equipment orders during the quarter with contracts from the railways, defence, oil and gas, and export markets. The orders included propulsion systems and traction motors for the Indian Railways, orders from an Indian shipyard, and fabrication and assembly of batteries and components for satellite propellant tanks for the Indian Space Research Organisation.

The company also delivered two upgraded Super Rapid Gun Mounts during the quarter, taking the total deliveries to the Indian Navy to 50 so far. BHEL said it contributed space-grade lithium-ion cells, batteries, and solar panels for the Indian Space Research Organisation's heaviest satellite launch in November.

BHEL's net profit more than tripled on year to INR 3.82 billion in the December quarter. The company's revenue rose 16% on year to INR 84.73 billion during the quarter. Monday, the company's shares ended at INR 263.10 on the National Stock Exchange, down 0.9% from the previous close.  End
