BHEL Shares Slide Around 7% as Q1 Net Loss Widens to ₹455.5 Crore

New Delhi, August 7, 2025 – There was a massive fall in the stocks of BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited) as the shares tanked by close to 7% on Thursday. This was after the PSU reported a massive rise in consolidated net loss for QFY26.

Besides the rise in consolidated net losses, the company also reported a critical increase in total expenses (with a marginal increase in total income) and a higher EBITDA loss that widened to ₹537 crore from ₹169 crore.

Stock Reaction

At 01:45 PM, the stock traded at ₹223.54 (6.83% lower than the previous day’s close of ₹239.89). With this, the stock has moved well below the 52-week high (₹305.80) that it attained in August last year. However, the stock has managed to float above the 52-week low of ₹176. After today’s slump, it has plummeted close to 13% in the past month.

By 3:30 PM, the stock consolidated a bit and closed at ₹228.18, but still a fall of ₹11.65 or down 4.86% from its previous close.

Earnings Snapshot

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, BHEL reported a consolidated net loss of ₹455.50 crore, more than double the ₹211.40 crore loss recorded in the corresponding quarter last year. The widening of losses was primarily attributed to a surge in expenses, which climbed to ₹6,279.78 crore, compared to ₹5,874.98 crore in the same period last year.

Revenue Performance

Despite the cost pressures, BHEL’s total income rose marginally to ₹5,658.07 crore in Q1FY26 from ₹5,581.78 crore in the year-ago quarter. However, this modest increase in revenue was insufficient to offset the spike in operating costs, resulting in deeper losses.
