Q3 FY26 · Energy
Power Grid reported a strong Q3 FY26 with standalone revenue of INR 12,436 crore (+7% YoY) and PAT of INR 4,160 crore (+7% YoY), driven by improved project execution and resolution of right-of-way issues. Management raised FY26 CapEx guidance to INR 32,000 crore and capitalization to INR 22,000 crore, with FY27 CapEx guided at INR 37,000 crore and FY28 at INR 45,000 crore. The order book stands at INR 1.95 lakh crore, with 80-90% from TBCB projects. Key growth drivers include renewable evacuation, HVDC projects, battery storage, and international expansion (e.g., Kenya). Risks include supply chain constraints for transformers and potential delays in HVDC project awards.

- Risk read
- Key risks include Transformer supply chain constraints — Domestic transformer capacity (228,000 MVA) is insufficient vs demand (421,000 MVA in FY27), potentially delaying projects unless Chinese component imports are allowed.; Right-of-way issues persist despite improvements — While new guidelines have helped, ROW remains a challenge in some states; execution depends on timely adoption by local authorities.; HVDC project award delays — Two major HVDC projects (Barmer II-Srikakulam, Bikaner V-Begunia) may slip beyond FY27, impacting CapEx phasing.; Intrastate project risks — Intrastate projects (e.g., Maharashtra, Karnataka) involve higher execution risks; management will bid selectively based on risk assessment..

Shera Energy
Q3 FY26 · Energy
Shera Energy delivered a strong 9M FY26 with consolidated revenue up 30% YoY to ₹1,182 Cr, EBITDA up 55% to ₹66 Cr, and PAT up 57% to ₹25 Cr. EBITDA margin expanded ~89 bps to 5.61% driven by better product mix and operating leverage. Volume growth of 12% YoY to 20,402 MT and higher metal prices supported top line. The key catalyst is the Zambia copper cathode facility, which commenced trial production (8.6 MT in Jan) and is expected to stabilize by Q1 FY27, targeting 15%+ EBITDA margins from that segment. Management guided for 40-60% revenue growth in FY27 backed by new forward integration capex (CTC conductors, solar cables) and backward integration. Risks include execution delays in Zambia ramp-up and potential equity dilution for the ₹300-500 Cr capex plan.
- Guidance read
- FY27 revenue growth of 40-60%: Management expects standalone revenue to grow 40-60% in FY27, driven by new capex in forward integration and Zambia operations. Zambia EBITDA margin >15%: Once commercial production stabilizes, the Zambia copper cathode facility is expected to deliver EBITDA margins above 15%. Revenue doubling in 2 years: Management expects consolidated revenue to double within two years, implying a CAGR of ~41%. Capex of ₹300-500 Cr for Zambia expansion: Planned capital investment to scale Zambia capacity from 1,200 MTPA to 5,000 MTPA over the next few years.
- Risk read
- Key risks include Zambia ramp-up delays — Trial production faced recovery issues; management expects stabilization by Q1 FY27 but further delays could impact margin guidance.; Equity dilution risk — Management plans to raise equity for the ₹300-500 Cr capex, which could dilute EPS for existing shareholders.; Revenue stagnation in Q3 vs Q2 — Consolidated revenue remained flat QoQ at ~₹390 Cr despite higher metal prices, indicating volume decline of ~3%.; Working capital intensity — Inventory holding of ~60 days and three-metal operations keep working capital high; management does not plan reduction..
