Bharat Bijlee reported revenue from operations of ₹2,273.80 crore for FY2026, up 19.6% from ₹1,901.69 crore in the previous year, driven by growth in both Power Systems and Industrial Systems segments. However, profit after tax declined 10.1% to ₹120.09 crore from ₹133.65 crore, impacted by rising finance costs (up 37.5% to ₹17.17 crore) and higher material costs. The company declared a dividend of ₹35 per share (700% on ₹5 face value). Borrowings surged to ₹301 crore from ₹80 crore, and operating cash flow turned negative at ₹92.50 crore (vs positive ₹175.30 crore prior year) due to significant buildup in inventories and trade receivables. The auditor issued an unmodified opinion with no qualifications.
The revenue growth near 20% is positive but the profit decline and negative operating cash flow are concerning. The sharp increase in borrowings and working capital stress warrant attention for shareholders. The dividend declaration shows management confidence but may be funded by increased debt.
