Bharat Bijlee's Board of Directors, at their May 16, 2025 meeting, approved the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025, with statutory auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issuing an unmodified opinion. Revenue from operations rose modestly to Rs. 1,901.69 crore (from Rs. 1,872.48 crore in FY24), while profit after tax grew slightly to Rs. 133.65 crore (from Rs. 131.44 crore), translating to EPS of Rs. 118.24. The Power Systems segment (transformers and turnkey projects) posted healthy growth to Rs. 1,098.89 crore, whereas the Industrial Systems segment (motors, drives, automation) declined to Rs. 802.80 crore. The Board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 35 per share (700%) on the Rs. 5 face value, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM. The Board also re-appointed M/s. P.M. Nanabhoy & Co. as Cost Auditors for FY26.
The 700% dividend is a strong signal of cash generation and shareholder returns, though absolute earnings growth is marginal. Mixed segment performance (Power Systems growing, Industrial Systems slipping) and a notable drop in operating cash flow (Rs. 175 cr vs Rs. 241 cr last year) suggest investors should watch for consistency in core profitability.
