CG Power & Industrial Solutions reported a 27% year-on-year increase in standalone net profit after tax (PAT) to ₹364 crore for Q1FY27, driven by robust order inflows and margin expansion in its Power Systems division. The company also announced that S R B C & Co LLP intends to resign as its statutory auditors effective August 14, 2026. This change aligns CG Power’s audit function with its holding company, Tube Investments of India Limited (TII), following the mandatory rotation of TII’s auditors under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013. A transcript of the conference call with analysts and investors held on July 24, 2026, has been uploaded to the company’s website.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 24, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The Board also approved a ₹35.17 crore brownfield expansion project for its Extra High Voltage (EHV) Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) manufacturing facility in Vilholi, Nashik. This capacity addition aims to double existing production capabilities within 4–6 months to meet rising demand without compromising delivery timelines.

Financial Performance Highlights

Standalone profitability strengthened significantly, with EBITDA rising 27% to ₹518 crore from ₹407 crore in Q1FY26. This growth was accompanied by a 140 basis points expansion in EBITDA margin, which improved to 16.9% from 15.4%. Profit before tax (PBT) also grew 27% to ₹487 crore. Return on capital employed (ROCE) stood at 23% for the quarter. Consolidated PAT rose 16% to ₹308 crore, while consolidated revenue increased 14% to ₹3,281 crore.

Segment-wise Analysis

The Power Systems segment was the primary growth engine, with sales jumping 31% to ₹1,402 crore. PBIT for this segment surged 44% to ₹324 crore, reflecting a 209 basis points margin expansion to 23.1%. In contrast, the Industrial Systems segment saw sales grow modestly by 6% to ₹1,671 crore. Its PBIT declined 14% to ₹148 crore due to a one-off provision of ₹20 crore in the Railways business. The semiconductor segment continued to impact consolidated margins, contributing a loss of ₹43 crore.

Order Book and Capacity Expansion

Order intake for the quarter totaled ₹4,692 crore standalone and ₹5,211 crore consolidated. The unexecuted order backlog reached ₹17,333 crore standalone and ₹18,965 crore consolidated. To meet this demand, CG Power commissioned its S3 Unit-II EHV switchgear facility in Nashik, expanding circuit breaker capacity by 80%. Additionally, its subsidiary CG Semi Private Limited commenced commercial production at its Sanand facility on July 4, 2026. The newly approved GIS expansion will add 600 equivalent units of peak capacity by FY30, addressing current constraints where the existing facility operated at 91% utilization in FY26.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between standalone and consolidated performance highlights the operational strength of CG Power’s core Indian businesses versus the drag from international subsidiaries and semiconductor investments. While standalone EBITDA margins expanded significantly, consolidated margins remained pressured at 14.7%. The massive order book growth suggests that current capacity constraints are temporary, supported by recent capex in Nashik and Sanand. The alignment of statutory auditors with the holding company indicates a strategic move toward integrated group governance.

CG Power and Industrial Solutions shareholders approved all five ordinary resolutions at its 89th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on July 24, 2026. The meeting, conducted via video conferencing from the company’s registered office in Mumbai, covered routine corporate governance matters including the adoption of financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, confirmation of an interim dividend, and the reappointment of a retiring director. While promoter and retail shareholders demonstrated near-unanimous support across all agenda items, institutional investors expressed significant dissent regarding the board composition, voting against the reappointment of Mr. Vellayan Subbiah.

The AGM was held pursuant to Regulation 44 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Prashant S. Mehta of P. Mehta & Associates, appointed as the scrutinizer by the Board, reported that all resolutions were passed with the requisite majority.
