Why Is CG Power and Industrial Solutions Share Price Falling? Key Reasons

Tap to Access Best Research Pieces on Univest.

Reason 1: Valuation Correction from 100x P/E Peak

CG Power reached approximately 100-110x P/E at its peak in early 2025, reflecting enormous excitement about India’s power electronics and motor manufacturing opportunity. The company’s turnaround under the Murugappa Group (which rescued it from an accounting scandal in 2019) had been exceptional. However, the re-rating from 100x to current 68x reflects normalisation of excessive enthusiasm.

At 68x P/E, CG Power still commands a premium that requires sustained 25-30% earnings growth. Any quarter with lower-than-expected order wins or margin pressure triggers further de-rating.

Reason 2: Railways and Defence Order Cycle Timing

CG Power supplies power transformers and traction motors to Indian Railways and Defence. Large order execution is lumpy — several quarters of high revenue are followed by quarters of lower revenue as project delivery completes before new orders begin to ramp. This quarterly revenue luminess frustrates investors expecting consistent growth.

Reason 3: Competition from ABB, Siemens, and BHEL

In power transformers and high-voltage switchgear, CG Power competes directly against ABB India, Siemens India, and BHEL. These established players with strong balance sheets and technology tie-ups are competing for the same large capex orders from PGCIL (Power Grid) and state electricity boards.

Reason 4: Semiconductor Business — Wait for Scale

CG Power entered the semiconductor manufacturing space through its partnership with Renesas Electronics and Murugappa Group. India’s semiconductor push is a long-term opportunity but requires massive capital investment and years before meaningful commercial revenue. Near-term investors are frustrated by the capital allocation to this long-gestation business.

Reason 5: Working Capital Intensity from Large Projects

Large power transformer and reactor orders require significant upfront working capital for raw material procurement. As CG Power’s order book grows, working capital requirements increase, potentially constraining free cash flow despite strong order book and revenue growth.

Can CG Power and Industrial Solutions Recover? Future Outlook

CG Power’s underlying business transformation — from a corporate governance disaster to a profitable, well-managed power electronics company — is one of India’s great business turnarounds. The current de-rating from 100x to 68x P/E is appropriate given the earnings growth reality. Recovery to Rs 700-820 requires continued order wins in transformers and traction motors with margin above 14%. The semiconductor business is long-term optionality, not near-term earnings.
