Citi Research has initiated coverage on the shares of four Indian electrical equipment-makers, as it sees India uniquely positioned to benefit from a large domestic transmission buildout, accelerating HVDC adoption, favourable localisation policies and export opportunities.
Citi initiated 'Buy' calls on the shares of Hitachi Energy India (Power India), GE Vernova T&D India as well as CG Power and Industrial Solutions, along with a ‘Neutral’ rating on Siemens Energy. It highlighted that the Central Electricity Authority's (CEA) approximately Rs 7.9 lakh crore transmission plan for 900 GW renewable integration by FY36 points to a multi-year buildout of HV and HVDC infrastructure. “We estimate HVDC alone represents a Rs 1.6 lakh crore OEM opportunity, with meaningful barriers to entry supported by localisation norms and certification requirements,” it said.
