JPMorgan Picks Power Equipment Stocks as India’s Grid Spending Rises
India is planning to expand its electricity grid and connect more renewable-energy projects.
This means utilities may buy more transformers, transmission lines and other equipment.
JPMorgan highlighted three companies that could benefit from this spending.
Hitachi Energy India has the highest implied upside in the price targets cited.
GE Vernova T&D India is closely tied to transformer demand and domestic orders.
Hitachi Energy India could gain from future HVDC projects, although some orders may take time.
Siemens Energy India is exposed to broader grid expansion and high-voltage equipment demand.
Higher prices for steel, copper and aluminium could reduce the companies’ profit margins if equipment prices do not rise enough.
JPMorgan expects India’s power-equipment ordering to improve as transmission, renewable integration and electricity demand increase.
Hitachi Energy India has the highest implied upside at 24.2%, followed by GE Vernova T&D India at 20.9% and Siemens Energy India at 10.7%.
GE Vernova T&D India is positioned to benefit from transformer demand and improving domestic orders, though raw-material costs remain a concern.
Hitachi Energy India’s growth outlook depends on future HVDC and high-voltage transmission projects, with some projects still awaiting approvals.
Siemens Energy India is expected to benefit mainly from grid expansion, renewable integration and demand for high-voltage equipment.

Brokerage cited for its India power-equipment sector research
“HVDC ordering will likely take a pause following the Barmer order win by GVTDI, as new HVDC-CEC projects are at the approval stage with NCT. However, management has highlighted potential capacity-led HVDC projects (similar to the Mumbai HVDC recently commissioned by Hitachi) that are under consideration and could be ordered in CY28”

“Leading indicators of domestic order inflow (NCT approvals, tendering pipeline, TBCB awards) are showing a pickup, and with transformer capacity constraints easing, the demand for further energy security coming over the next 12-18 months, domestic order inflow for power equipment companies is likely to pick up”
