1. At a Glance
Bharat Bijlee is an OG of India’s electrical sector — older than Indian independence and still delivering volts, watts, and solid profits. With an ROE of 7%, a dividend payout of 30%, and an order book buzzing with switchyards and substations, BBL is quietly powering up… even if the market still thinks it’s just running on nostalgia.

- Stock CAGR (3 years): 60%
- EPS FY25: ₹118
- Book Value: ₹1,717
