India's Capital Goods Sector Faces Soft H1 FY27, Recovery Expected in H2 on Thermal Orders
India's capital goods and power equipment sector is expected to remain subdued in the first half of FY27, with recovery anticipated in the second half, driven by a multi-year thermal power ordering cycle, according to a 360 ONE Capital report. Order inflows rose 19.2% year-on-year, supported by private capital expenditure across diverse sectors. While revenue and profit after tax grew, EBITDA margins declined due to higher commodity costs amid geopolitical tensions. Improved equipment availability and capacity expansions are expected to ease execution challenges.
