BHEL sets board meeting date to reschedule record date for final dividend
In an exchange filing, BHEL informed shareholders that its 61st Annual General Meeting (AGM), initially slated for July 25, 2025, will be rescheduled. 'Further to our earlier communications dated 19.06.2025, it is informed that in view of certain administrative reasons, the Company has decided to reschedule the next AGM,' BHEL said. It added that the revised date for the AGM, along with the new record date for the final dividend and payment timeline, will be announced later. The board has recommended a final dividend of 25 percent or ₹ 0.50 per share for FY25. The record date had earlier been fixed as July 11, 2025.
Adding to its business momentum, BHEL recently secured a significant order from Adani Power. The Letter of Award (LoA) pertains to the supply and supervision of six thermal power units of 800 MW each. The order includes steam turbine generators and related auxiliaries. As per BHEL's exchange release, the total contract value is pegged at around ₹ 6,500 crore, excluding GST, and will be executed as per the customer's project schedule.
BHEL continues to demonstrate a financial turnaround. The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹ 504.45 crore in Q4FY25, up from ₹ 489.62 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue rose to ₹ 9,142.64 crore versus ₹ 8,416.84 crore year-on-year. For the full financial year FY25, net profit more than doubled to ₹ 533.90 crore from ₹ 282.22 crore in FY24, while total income surged to ₹ 28,804.79 crore from ₹ 24,439.05 crore.
As of March 31, 2025, BHEL's order book stood at ₹ 1,95,922 crore, with the power segment contributing around 75 percent. The new Adani Power order pushes the order book above the ₹ 2 lakh crore mark. The PSU also recorded its highest-ever annual order inflows of ₹ 92,534 crore in FY25, with ₹ 81,349 crore from the power sector alone.
Despite strong fundamentals and a robust pipeline, BHEL's stock dipped 2 percent to a day's low of ₹ 259.30 on July 2. It is currently trading about 23 percent below its 52-week high of ₹ 335.40 hit in July 2024, though well above its 52-week low of ₹ 176 reached in March 2025. Over the past year, the PSU stock has declined nearly 13 percent. However, it has shown consistent gains in recent months — up 2.5 percent in June, 14.5 percent in May, 4.8 percent in April, and a strong 20.8 percent rally in March.

'Don't turn into an ATM for your kids': Financial advisor share a big wakeup call for middle-class parents
Many Indian parents risk their retirement security by giving away large parts of their retirement funds to their adult children without proper planning. Girish Agrawal, a former income tax officer and now a mutual fund advisor for PSU retirees, has warned about this growing trend in a LinkedIn post that has sparked conversation among working professionals and retirees alike. Love, guilt, and financial strain Agrawal shared a familiar story of a government officer who retires with ₹1 crore after years of service. But soon after retirement, requests for money begin. One child needs funds for a startup. Another's spouse wants to open a franchise. Without a financial plan, the retired officer hands over large sums, driven by love and emotional guilt. The outcome is often disappointing. 'He became the ATM for everyone else… and forgot to keep cash for himself,' Agrawal writes. 'This is not generosity. This is financial self-neglect, wrapped in emotional guilt.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When the Camera Clicked at the Worst Possible Time Read More Undo Children ask for capital, not responsibility According to Agrawal, many adult children ask their parents for financial help without understanding the long-term pressure it puts on their parents. Businesses supported by this money often struggle to give returns, leaving the retiree financially insecure. 'No structured withdrawal plan, no pension, no safety net—just mounting anxiety and shrinking savings,' Agrawal notes. Without regular income, the retired parent may find it difficult to meet daily expenses. Live Events Secure your own future first Agrawal recommends that retirees should first create an income plan that will support them for the next 25–30 years. Any financial help given to children should be treated like a business transaction—with clear documentation, repayment terms, and boundaries. 'Your children love you—but they don't know how tight your runway is,' he writes. 'Your children will respect you more when you live with dignity, not dependency. You owe yourself a peaceful retirement. You don't have to buy it with guilt.' The importance of communication and boundaries Agrawal's advice highlights the need for open family conversations about money and retirement. By setting boundaries and putting their own needs first, parents can avoid turning their retirement years into a time of stress.

'With a large domestic market (as large as China's in 2006-07), India can bank upon strong manufacturing-led growth for many years ahead,' the release further said. The non-linearity in global macro-economic trends is increasing as financial markets are now more driven by geopolitical volatility, fiscal and policy interventions and the fund house expects both QE & QT to coexist through this decade as indices related to global uncertainties will remain elevated for long. Live Events 'We continue to believe that a significant US Dollar devaluation is the only practical way to address US' spiraling debt crisis. The only question is how this will be carried out or triggered,' the release highlights. On the geopolitical front, the US-China trade war bumped in to some degree of de-escalation as the US agreed to a 90-day truce to reduce tariffs on Chinese imports to 30% from 145% earlier. After disputes over critical minerals and US accusations of trade deal violations, the pause offers temporary relief. The Sandeep Tandon-led fund house believes that there is definitely a sense of resilience being exhibited by global markets, shrugging off armed conflicts, tariff-induced inflation and economic slowdowns. The US' 'Big Beautiful Bill,' aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing through subsidies, has sparked optimism in industrial stocks but raised concerns about rising deficits.
