Power Microcaps Gain Attention Despite Concentrated Risks and Losses
Two small Indian companies recently listed shares connected to the power industry.
MV Electrosystems makes equipment that helps electric trains use overhead electricity.
Anawil Wire and Engineering makes steel towers for wind turbines.
MV Electrosystems has a large potential order book, but it is not yet profitable and depends heavily on Indian Railways.
Anawil is profitable and growing, but much of its business comes from a few customers and Karnataka.
Both companies have had cash tied up in inventory or working capital.
Madhuri Madhusudan Kela’s percentage ownership in MV Electrosystems fell because the company issued new shares, not because she sold shares.
Mukul Agarwal already owned part of Anawil before it listed.
The article suggests watching several quarters of results before forming an investment view.
MV Electrosystems makes railway propulsion equipment and reported a ₹921.64 crore executable order book as of June 30, 2026.
MV Electrosystems posted a ₹12.6 crore net loss in FY26, with inventory days reaching 731 and operating cash flow negative ₹58 crore.
Madhuri Madhusudan Kela held 4.22% of MV Electrosystems after its IPO, down from 5.6% because new shares diluted her stake.
Anawil Wire and Engineering’s FY26 revenue rose to ₹143 crore, while its order book stood at ₹359.81 crore across 379 towers.
Anawil reported strong profits but negative free cash flow, high customer and state concentration, and SME-platform trading restrictions.

Growth and Expansion Case
Risk and Valuation Case
MV Electrosystems’ order book
Growth and Expansion Case
The ₹921.64 crore order book is nearly nineteen times FY26 revenue and could support future growth after commercial propulsion supplies began.
Risk and Valuation Case
The company has no current earnings, high inventory days, negative operating cash flow, thin interest cover, and dependence on Indian Railways.
Anawil’s profitability
Growth and Expansion Case
Revenue, EBITDA, and net profit rose sharply through FY26, while its order book and a new 38-tower letter of intent point to continued demand.
Risk and Valuation Case
The reported 42.6% operating margin is linked largely to conversion work and may decline as the company takes on more steel-supply responsibilities.
Anawil’s business resilience
Growth and Expansion Case
Seasonal weakness in the April-to-September period may reflect monsoon-related installation delays rather than a collapse in demand, with most FY26 revenue arriving from October to March.
Risk and Valuation Case
The company had negative free cash flow, increased borrowings, six customers, heavy exposure to Karnataka, and limited liquidity on the SME platform.
