The EPC share is set to rise from ~20% to ~50% over the medium term, improving execution visibility. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's local content mandate, effective July 31, 2025, requires domestic sourcing of key turbine components, enhancing Suzlon's competitive position given its integrated manufacturing base.
The gradual phase-out of Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) waivers should aid smoother project execution.
Proactive land acquisition and EPC expansion strengthen readiness for upcoming opportunities. Further, a projected 30–35 day improvement in the cash conversion cycle will bolster balance sheet strength, free cash flow generation, and sustainable RoEs, positioning Suzlon well for medium-term growth.
Bharat Electronics
BEL posted a 25% YoY PAT growth to INR9.7b in Q1FY26, led by strong margin performance—gross margin at 53.2% and EBITDA margin expanding 580bps to 28.1%.
This, coupled with a favourable mix & disciplined execution, drove a 16% PAT beat. With a record-high order book of INR749b and Q1 inflows of INR76b (+53% YoY), BEL is strategically positioned to benefit from high-value defense programs like QRSAM (INR250b), MF-STAR radar, LCA Mk1A, & electronic warfare systems.
Execution of multiple large-scale projects in FY26 is expected to support BEL's targeted >15% revenue growth.

Export prospects and indigenisation-led orders further enhance its long-term revenue visibility. We estimate revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 18%/17%/17% over FY25–28E.

End of inter-state transmission fee waiver for solar, wind projects to hit 26 GW renewable projects: Crisil
Around 26 gigawatt of renewable energy projects are expected to get impacted with the end of waiver on the inter-state transmission system (ISTS) charges provided for solar and wind projects, according to Crisil Ratings . The deadline for announcing an extension on waiver on Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for setting up and commissioning solar and wind projects ended on June 30, 2025.
