revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- GE Power India Limited expects a top-line growth of 5% to 8% compounded annually for FY 2027 and the year after, considering both core business growth and a decline in new-build (EPC) volumes. - Core services revenue is forecasted to account for around 60% of total volume over the next two years, increasing to about 80% sustainably post two years. - The company is actively pursuing steam turbine upgrade orders which, if secured, could accelerate growth beyond the 5%-8% range due to their high ticket size, but these are long gestation projects typically taking 3-4 years to commission. - Growth in β€œother OEM” core services business has been strong, with 53% of recent orders coming from non-GE assets. - The targeted Indian installed base market size is approximately INR 2,500 crores annually, with GE's own assets constituting around INR 500 crores of this. - The company remains cautious but confident about growth, factoring in the dynamic market environment.
