Hitachi Energy India
The energy sector in the Indian stock market has been facing challenges for some time. Due to weak infrastructure and policy uncertainties, the mood of investors seems to be a bit sour. NSE data shows that the Nifty Energy Index has declined in the last one year. But amid this sluggishness and gloom in the market, foreign institutional investors (FIIs), also known as ‘smart money’, have expressed their trust in a company which is rarely talked about. This company is Hitachi Energy India.
Entry of ‘smart money’ in the falling market
It is often said in the market that when common investors sell out of fear, then big investors look for buying opportunities. Something similar has been seen in the case of Hitachi Energy India also. When the price of this share was falling during the second quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q2FY26), FIIs decided to increase their stake in it.
Foreign investors have increased their stake by 2.48 percent, taking their total holding in the company to 9.7%. The surprising thing is that just a year ago this figure was only 5.1%. When the share price fell from Rs 20,000 to around Rs 18,000 at the beginning of the quarter, foreign investors saw it as a golden opportunity and bought heavily.
What is special in the company’s business model?
Actually, the entire focus of Hitachi Energy India is not on generating electricity, but on delivering and managing it properly. Interruptions in power distribution and grid are a big problem in India. This company provides high-voltage technology and digital solutions to Discoms to solve these problems.
The company’s hold in future areas like grid automation and energy storage is considered very strong. This is the reason that while the shares of traditional power companies are under pressure, the unique business model of this company is making it the choice of investors.
400% surge in profits
In the recent quarterly results, the net profit of the company has taken a huge jump of 406% to Rs 264 crore. At the same time, an increase of about 18% has also been recorded in sales.
The company is making waves not only in the domestic market but also in foreign countries. Hitachi Energy India’s export orders have increased by 59% on an annual basis. The company is getting work from big markets like Europe, Middle East and North America. Apart from this, the big project of laying 950 km long transmission line from Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh in collaboration with BHEL in India further strengthens the company’s order book. This project will play an important role in achieving India’s renewable energy goals.
