Hitachi Energy India Ltd has reported a significant year-on-year increase in export orders during the third quarter (Q3: October to December) of FY24.
In a release, Hitachi Energy India said that export orders during Q3 of FY24 were more than 60 per cent higher than in the same quarter of FY23. This growth was driven by transformers and high-voltage products. Orders for transformers came from Europe and African markets, while demand for power quality solutions were from South and Central America, Africa, US and Europe, the release said.
Meanwhile, overall order inflows in Q3 of FY24 stood at Rs.1,235 crore, almost unchanged from Rs.1,221 crore in Q3 of FY23.
Datacenters and renewables significantly contributed to orders, while transmission and rail segments remained flat. Notable digitalization orders from energy intensive segments like steel, along with industry training orders demonstrated the urgency for rapid energy transition and electrification percolating across all segments.
Service orders were up over 70 per cent, year-on-year, in Q3 of FY24, led by utilities and industries, the release observed.
