From ₹15 to ₹419: This small-cap stock turned ₹1 lakh into ₹28 lakh in 5 years. Did you invest?
The shares displayed a strong recovery after notable pullbacks and managed to recoup losses in the following months, as a growing order book and improving fundamentals continued to attract investor interest in the company.
The company, which is engaged in manufacturing and providing metering and metering solutions, has seen its share price skyrocket from ₹ 15 to the current trading price of ₹ 419, resulting in a massive surge of 2,700% in just five years.
If an investor had invested ₹ 1 lakh during that period and held the position to date, the investment would have grown to ₹ 28 lakh.
The stock underwent a three-month correction after hitting a new all-time high of ₹ 485 in December 2025 but regained strength in April and gained further momentum in May, ending the month with a 40% rise.
It also kicked off June with a 6% gain, as investors cheered the company's better-than-expected March quarter results and its expanding order book, positioning Genus Power as one of the key beneficiaries of the ongoing smart meter rollout.
GPIL is poised to become one of the largest beneficiaries of the ongoing smart meter installation drive under the ₹ 3 trillion Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). As of 31st March 2025, its total order book stands at approximately ₹ 30,110 crore (net of taxes), providing strong visibility into future revenue growth. Notably, the order book is over twice the company's market capitalization.
The RDSS aims to replace conventional meters and structurally transform the financial dynamics of the power sector. GPIL, the largest listed smart electricity meter company in India, offers end-to-end services, including the implementation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Facility Management Services (FMS) post-deployment.
In Q4FY25, the company reported revenue from operations of ₹ 937 crore, marking a growth of 123% year-on-year and 55% sequentially. This strong performance, according to the company, was driven by the continued ramp-up in project execution and increased offtake of smart meters.
EBITDA for the quarter surged to ₹ 208 crore, up 276% year-on-year, with a sharp margin expansion of 905 basis points to 22.3%, supported by operating leverage and disciplined cost control. On the bottom line, net profit jumped 312% YoY to ₹ 129 crore from ₹ 31.4 crore.
For the full year FY25, the company delivered revenue of ₹ 2,442 crore, more than doubling from ₹ 1,201 crore in the previous year. Net profit also rose significantly by 247% to ₹ 470 crore.
The company noted that its working capital position experienced temporary elongation during the execution ramp-up phase but expects it to progressively normalize as project lifecycles mature and monthly OpEx-based payments stabilize.
Additionally, the company highlighted that its strategic backward integration into software solutions such as Meter Data Management (MDM) and Head-End Systems (HES) enables better operational control and enhances long-term operating leverage.
During the March quarter, retail shareholders marginally increased their stake in the company to 34.5% from 34.3% in the December quarter. Mutual funds maintained a stable holding at 3.8%, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) trimmed their stake to 22.4% from 22.8% in Q3FY25. The promoter holding in the company remained unchanged at 39.4%.

Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate Medha Roopam on Saturday directed officials of the power discom to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply across urban and rural areas, particularly during the ongoing monsoon season. She also asked them to expedite repair of faulty lines and replace ageing wires to prevent outages. Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate Medha Roopam. 'The monsoon season poses specific risks for power infrastructure. Any repair or replacement work must be completed on priority. Officials must ensure that both urban and rural residents don't face disruptions,' she said. The district administration also flagged delays in transformer repairs and stressed the need for swift redressal of consumer complaints. 'Public inconvenience due to power outages must be minimised. Delays in resolving complaints are not acceptable,' the DM said. Discom officials said maintenance teams have already been deployed and key vulnerable lines and transformers are being identified. 'We have been taking steps to strengthen weak points in the network. SCADA work under the RDSS project is progressing, and we are also replacing poles and cables in several localities,' said Vivek Kumar, superintending engineer of Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Noida. The meeting comes days after Uttar Pradesh power minister A K Sharma, in a separate review session, instructed authorities to ensure uninterrupted power supply in Noida. He also reviewed the progress of key infrastructure upgrades under various state and central schemes. Earlier this year, the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) approved a ₹97 crore allocation for Gautam Buddh Nagar for the 2025–26 financial year to bolster electricity infrastructure across the district. Additionally, under the ₹1,313 crore Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) of the central government, engineering firm L&T has been commissioned for SCADA-related work in Noida. Another implementing agency for the remaining components of the scheme is expected to be finalised this month. Officials said the RDSS will focus on building new substations and reinforcing existing distribution lines, while parallel projects will tackle the replacement of ageing transformers, poles, and overhead cables, particularly in Noida's older sectors and new developing zones where infrastructure has not kept pace with rapid urbanisation.

33,000 tribal homes in Malwa-Nimar to get power connections
Indore: The Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Unnat Gram Abhiyan (PM JUGA) is set to provide permanent electricity connections to remote tribal areas in Malwa-Nimar including clusters of just five to seven houses located near rivers and mountains. The govt has allocated Rs 179 crore for this initiative, which will bring electricity to approximately 33,000 homes across 14 districts of western Madhya Pradesh. According to Madhya Pradesh Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company, Indore, MD Anoop Kumar Singh, the company will work in all 14 districts of Indore and Ujjain divisions, excluding Agar, to provide electricity even to the most remote hamlets. The electrification project will benefit households in various districts ---Indore (85 homes in remote, hilly areas of Mhow), Dhar (3,454), Jhabua (2,000), Alirajpur (4,000), Khandwa (1,841), Khargone (5,760), Barwani (9,332), Burhanpur (2,384), Ujjain (52), Shajapur (10), Ratlam (2,263), Neemuch (25), Mandsaur (15), and Dewas (1,731). The project involves establishing 1,300 km of 11 kV lines, installing more than 2,000 transformers, and laying 2,423 km of low-tension lines. The company completed a comprehensive survey of tribal families in these remote areas under the supervision of the chief engineers of the Indore and Ujjain zones. New Transformers Installed Under RDSS Scheme: MPPKVVCL has installed 6,773 new transformers in fifteen districts by the end of July under the govt's flagship RDSS (Reforms-Based and Results-Linked Distribution Sector Scheme). These 100 kVA capacity transformers are aimed at enhancing capacity, reducing load on existing infrastructure, meeting future power demand, and decreasing line losses. The move will improve the quality of power supply for agriculture and enhance facilities for residential, industrial, and commercial areas. Approximately 400 transformers were installed in Indore city alone, and close to 1,100 in the Indore district. The installations also serve to separate mixed feeders in remote areas, ensuring 24-hour electricity for residential zones and a consistent 10-hour supply for agriculture.
