Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited has received a Notification of Award worth ₹21,000 crore for the EPC package of the 3×800 MW Meja Supercritical Thermal Power Project Stage-II in Prayagraj. The company’s total order book stands at approximately ₹2.40 lakh crore, reflecting strong visibility across its power and infrastructure segments.
On June 5, 2026, BHEL share price gained 0.80% to ₹392.25 by 11:53 AM. So far, on NSE, around 111.9 lakh shares were traded, which is below the 30 days average of 190.4 lakh shares. BHEL share price remained in focus after it received a big EPC contract notification for the Meja Supercritical Thermal Power Project Stage-II in Uttar Pradesh.
BHEL got a Notification of Award from Meja Urja Nigam Private Ltd (MUNPL). This award is for the EPC package of the 3×800 MW Meja Supercritical Thermal Power Project Stage-II in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Valued at over ₹21,000 crore, excluding GST, it came after an international competitive bidding process.
MUNPL is a joint venture formed by NTPC Limited and Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited. Separately, BHEL also signed a contract agreement on June 2, 2026, with Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Free Zone Enterprise, Nigeria, for the design, manufacturing, supply, and supervision of erection and commissioning of 8 gas turbine generator packages for a petroleum refinery and polypropylene plant in Dangote Industries Free Zone. That contract is valued between ₹2,000 crore and ₹2,500 crore and is to be completed within 26 months from the effective date.
Under the Meja EPC contract, BHEL will be responsible for the full project cycle covering design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, construction, erection, testing, and commissioning. The project includes three 800 MW supercritical thermal power units, for a total capacity of 2,400 MW.
Completion of facilities is scheduled within 70 months from the date of the Notification of Award. Supercritical technology offers better fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared to conventional thermal power systems, and this project is expected to add meaningfully to Uttar Pradesh's power generation capacity.
Order inflows for the full year FY26 stood at ₹75,916 crore, with Q4FY26 alone accounting for ₹30,011 crore of this. The outstanding order book as on March 31, 2026, stood at approximately ₹2,40,000 crore, which is the highest ever for the company. Within this, the power segment accounted for ₹1,92,298 crore or 81% of the total, the industry segment contributed ₹43,397 crore or 18%, and exports made up the remaining ₹3,362 crore or 1%. Order book figures are net of taxes.
Prominent orders received during Q4FY26 included the main plant package covering boiler, turbine and generator for the 3×800 MW Telangana Stage-II supercritical thermal power project, the electromechanical package for the 382 MW Sunni Dam Hydroelectric Project, coal gasification and syngas cleaning packages for a coal-to-ammonium nitrate project in Jharsuguda, Odisha, supply and erection contracts for BTG packages from an aluminium manufacturing company and a steel manufacturing company, supply of rail borne maintenance vehicles for Indian Railways, and a maiden order for blowdown valves with actuators from Nicaragua, which extended BHEL's international presence to 94 countries.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, BHEL reported revenue from operations of ₹12,310 crore, up 36.9% YoY from ₹8,993 crore in Q4FY25. EBITDA for the quarter came in at ₹2,005 crore, up from ₹990 crore in Q4FY25, showing a sharp improvement in operating performance.
Profit before tax stood at ₹1,720 crore in Q4FY26, against ₹704 crore in Q4FY25. Net profit after tax came in at ₹1,283 crore for the quarter, compared to ₹504 crore in Q4FY25, more than doubling on a year-on-year basis.

Net profit after tax for FY26 stood at ₹1,578 crore, compared to ₹513 crore in FY25, reflecting a significant recovery in profitability on the back of higher execution volumes and improved operating leverage.

The company spent approximately 2.4% of its revenue from operations on research and development during the year.
