Hitachi Energy share price pops 2% on securing deal from Power Grid Corp
SI Reporter New Delhi
Hitachi Energy share price: Hitachi Energy shares rose up to 2.27 per cent to hit an intraday high of ₹19,849.10 per share on the last trading day of the week i.e. Friday, June 27, 2025.
At 9:40 AM, Hitachi Energy shares continued to trade higher, up 1.17 per cent at ₹19,633.85, outperforming BSE Sensex, which was flat with a positive bias at 83,803.57 levels.
Why did Hitachi Energy share price rise today?
Hitachi Energy shares moved higher in today's trade after the company announced an order win from Power Grid Corporation of India. The order is for the supply of 30 ultra-high-voltage (UHV) 765-kilovolt (kV), 500 megavolt-ampere (MVA) single-phase transformers.
'From a technology provider perspective, this shift helps us plan capacity investments, reserve supply chains, and ensure timely delivery. In addition to being the leading transformer manufacturer, Hitachi Energy brings its global technology prowess and local expertise across the energy value chain to be a partner of choice in mission-critical nation-building projects to inspire the next era of sustainable energy,' said N Venu, managing director and CEO, Hitachi Energy India.
The development comes amid rising demand for high-capacity transformers in India, driven by the country's push for a sustainable and secure energy transition. With growing integration of renewable energy and electrification of key sectors, transformer demand in India has surged at an annual rate of 15 per cent over the past two years.
The 765 kV transformers play a crucial role in boosting grid reliability, efficiency, and capacity. These systems enable bulk power transmission over long distances, reducing losses and operational costs while improving affordability and minimising land use and construction costs.
Once installed, the transformers are expected to support the power needs of around 30 million Indian households. Hitachi Energy will manufacture the units at its Maneja facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, reinforcing its commitment to 'Make in India'.
In a related innovation, Hitachi Energy also successfully tested the world's first 765-kV / 400-kV, 250 MVA transformer filled with natural ester oil—a biodegradable and safer alternative to conventional insulating fluids—underscoring the company's technological leadership in ultra-high-voltage AC equipment.

J&K govt, biz seek 5% GST on handicraft items
Omar Abdullah NEW DELHI: Jammu & Kashmir govt has sought lower GST on handloom and handicraft products in a move aimed at making pashmina shawls and silk carpets more affordable for Indian buyers. Currently, handloom and handicrafts items that cost Rs 1,000 or more attract 12% tax, and the proposal is to lower the levy to 5% on all products. Responding to the demand, Union minister Piyush Goyal suggested the businesses should take up the issue with the finance ministry. "We will try to reduce it. We will try to find a way," he said at an industry event. The proposal for pashmina shawls has been with the GST Council for several months and even CM Omar Abdullah had raised it in Jaisalmer in Dec.

Sunil Mittal, Warburg Pincus eye 49% in Haier India at steep discount
Sunil Mittal's family office and US-based private equity major Warburg Pincus have submitted a bid to acquire a 49 per cent stake in Haier India at a sharply reduced valuation of ₹6,000 crore ($720 million), according to people familiar with the matter. The Chinese parent, Haier Group, had initially sought a valuation of around $2 billion (₹17,100 crore), but offers were significantly lower, said one of the persons, asking not to be named as the discussions are private. Haier is now weighing whether to proceed with the deal or wait for improved market conditions, the person added. As part of the proposed transaction, Haier India employees are expected to acquire a 2 per cent stake, while a public listing is being considered within two years to provide an eventual exit route for the Chinese firm, the people said. 'After the deal, the buyer will have to pay a steep brand usage fees and royalties to the Chinese parent, which has dampened the valuation,' said a person close to the development. Haier, which fully owns the Indian subsidiary, has been exploring a potential exit for several months and even held early-stage discussions with Reliance Industries Ltd, India's largest conglomerate, according to the people. Emails sent to Haier, Mittal's office, and Warburg Pincus on Friday went unanswered until the press time. The proposed deal comes amid a broader trend of Chinese firms paring back their India exposure following geopolitical tensions and growing scrutiny of Chinese investments by India. In March last year, Chinese automaker SAIC Motor agreed to sell a majority stake in its Indian subsidiary MG Motors India to the Sajjan Jindal group. In May, Ant Group exited its investment in Paytm through $246 million worth via block trades. Haier entered India in 2004 and holds a 14 per cent share of the refrigerator market. Its presence in other categories — including washing machines, televisions, and air conditioners — remains in the single digit. India's household appliances market is projected to reach $64.3 billion in 2025, growing at a 7.3 percent CAGR through 2030, according to data from Statista.

Amid import fears, govt to review protection for homegrown apples
SRINAGAR: Amid fears of rising imports, commerce and industry minister on Sunday said govt will review protection for homegrown apples, while underlining the need to strike a balance between the interests of growers and the needs of consumers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The minister's comment at a meeting with trade and industry here came amid demands from the US to lower tariffs on apples and other farm goods as part of the early tranche of a bilateral trade deal. India has expressed its reluctance to lower import duty on agricultural products while controlling the entry of genetically modified maize and soybean. Goyal said govt has prescribed a minimum import price of Rs 50 a kg and there is also a 25% import duty, translating into a protection of around Rs 75 a kg and a selling price of at least Rs 125-150 a kg. With domestic prices linked to the cost of imported goods, Goyal argued that a sharp increase in protection will raise retail prices further, making them unattractive to consumers and hurting overall demand. "To give the taste of Kashmir apples to the country, price has to be affordable. We need to balance between the interests of producers and consumers. We will see if MIP and other protection can be increased," he said. With production not keeping pace with growing demand, India imports 4.5-5 lakh tonne of apple, with Turkiye being among the largest sources. The US is seeking to topple Turkiye by seeking preferential duty access. Goyal told local businessmen govt was making efforts to step up exports of Indian goods through free trade agreements. While asserting that the Modi govt kept the country's interests paramount, he also said trade liberalisation cannot be a one-way street and as part of trade deals, both countries needed to open markets. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He said the new rail link from Kashmir will help move goods faster to the rest of the country and assured businesses that development work will be pushed by the Centre. Noting that the Pahalgam terror attack was meant to hurt tourism and the economy in Kashmir, the minister said that business is returning to normal and tourist flow has also increased.
