Two Indian Suppliers Positioned for the Power Infrastructure Boom
India is expected to use much more electricity as factories and other users grow.
Some power will come from renewable sources, which may be far from the places that need it.
TD Power Systems makes generators that help produce electricity.
APAR Industries makes conductors and cables that help carry and distribute it.
Both companies reported growing sales and substantial orders.
TD Power’s challenge is making and delivering enough equipment on time.
APAR’s businesses have different drivers, and some volumes and operating conditions have been uneven.
The article says both stocks are valued at levels that assume continued growth.
It presents them as examples of companies involved in expanding power infrastructure, not as investment recommendations.
India’s electricity demand is projected to grow 6.4% annually from 2026 to 2030, with industry accounting for about a third of the increase.
TD Power Systems supplies generators for varied power and industrial applications; its Q1 FY27 orders rose 87% year over year to ₹734.1 crore.
TD Power’s June-end order book was ₹2,207 crore, with 69.5% from exports and deemed exports, but execution and capacity are growing concerns.
APAR Industries supplies conductors and cables as well as oils; its conductor order book stood at ₹10,190 crore at the end of June.
Both companies reported strong growth and high returns on capital, while their elevated valuations make sustained growth and order execution important tests.
