Power equipment stocks fell up to 10% on Friday after the government allowed four Chinese-linked companies with manufacturing units in India to bid for select power projects. Hitachi Energy, CG Power, GE Vernova T&D India and BHEL came under pressure as investors reacted to the prospect of higher competition.
Indian power equipment companies witnessed sharp selling on Friday after reports said the Central Government had allowed four Chinese companies with manufacturing facilities in India to participate in upcoming government power project tenders.
According to an order issued by the Ministry of Finance, TBEA Energy, Nanjing Electric India, New Northeast Electric India and Taikai Electric (India) have been granted an exemption to bid for selected government power projects. The exemption follows a proposal made by the Ministry of Power in January. The ministry had sought permission for companies that have manufacturing units in India and are involved in critical power infrastructure projects.
The development weighed on investor sentiment, with shares of major domestic power equipment manufacturers falling sharply during the session. Hitachi Energy India Ltd, GE Vernova T&D India Ltd, CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd all traded lower.
Hitachi Energy India Ltd was created in 2019 as a Joint Venture between Hitachi and ABB's Power Grids. The company serves utility and industry customers, with a complete range of engineering, products, solutions, and services in the area of Power technology. The company actively works in the power sector. In line with this, it has announced an additional capital expenditure of around ₹2,000 crore, including a greenfield large power transformer facility at Karjan in Vadodara, Gujarat.
As a result, the company’s stock was among the biggest losers in the segment.
The stock opened at ₹32,085, compared with its previous close of ₹33,775. During the day, it declined to an intraday low of ₹30,400, marking a fall of around 10% from Thursday's closing price.
Despite this fall, the stock has delivered strong returns this year. It remains up 66.22% in 2026.
CG Power provides products and solutions across the power systems and industrial systems businesses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenue from the power business stood at ₹1,487 crore, up 50% year-on-year. The power division had an unexecuted order backlog of ₹12,644 crore, while the company's total order backlog stood at ₹15,719 crore.
The shares of CG Power also came under selling pressure on Friday. The stock opened at ₹911.40 against its previous close of ₹959.40. It later slipped to an intraday low of ₹887.10 at 12:41 pm, translating into a decline of about 7.54% from the previous closing price.
GE T&D is the listed entity of GE’s Grid Solutions business in India. It has been in the power transmission and distribution business for more than 100 years. It provides a wide range of solutions for connecting and evacuating power from generation sources onto the grid.
Its share price opened at ₹4,581.60, compared with its previous close of ₹4,822.80. During intraday trade, it touched a low of ₹4,340.60, which was nearly 10% below the previous closing price.
BHEL is an integrated power plant equipment manufacturer engaged in design, engineering, manufacture, erection, testing, commissioning and servicing of a wide range of products and services for the core sectors of the economy, viz. Power, transmission, Industry, transportation, renewable energy, Oil & Gas and defence. It is the flagship engineering and manufacturing company of India owned and controlled by the Govt. of India. As of March 31, 2026, the Government of India held a 58.17% stake in the company.
Its total order book stood at around ₹2.40 lakh crore as of March 31, 2026. The power segment accounted for ₹1,92,298 crore, representing nearly 81% of the total order book.
The company’s share price also fell on Friday. The stock fell to ₹384.30 from its previous close of ₹401.95, a decline of about 4.4%.
