- Monitoring domestic demand closely, especially during upcoming periods of infrastructural investment and planned projects.
Conclusion
BHEL’s Q1 FY26 results are not strong from a profitability perspective: losses have widened significantly while revenue has essentially held steady. Yet, there are positive signs in order inflows, a healthy order book, and segmental revenue growth. Whether these translate into improved profits in coming quarters will depend on execution, cost management, and how external demand (both domestic and overseas) develops.
