Shares of major Indian power equipment manufacturers experienced significant gains on Thursday following President Trump's executive order restricting foreign equipment in US electricity grids. CG Power emerged as the top performer, rising up to 4 percent, while GE Vernova gained 3 percent during the trading session. According to reports from Moneycontrol, Transformers and Rectifiers (India) and Hitachi Energy India also posted strong gains of 2.71 percent and 2.13 percent respectively. The rally came after the US declared a national emergency over the security of its bulk-power system and moved to restrict the acquisition and import of certain foreign-produced power-grid equipment.
The executive order signed by Trump targets foreign-produced equipment and associated software that could pose national security, cybersecurity or operational risks to the US power grid. As reported by CNBC TV18, the order covers a wide range of equipment including substation transformers, grid-connected inverters, battery energy storage systems, generators, turbines, high-voltage circuit breakers and industrial control systems. The US Energy Secretary has been tasked with identifying specific equipment and vendors that could pose such risks, meaning details on the exact products and companies covered by the restrictions are still awaited. According to ANI, the restrictions apply to equipment that poses an "undue risk of sabotage, subversion, unauthorised access, malicious remote action, or supply disruption" to the US bulk-power system.
Indian power equipment stocks are gaining on expectations that Trump's order could shift part of the US grid-equipment supply chain away from Chinese/other foreign suppliers toward non-Chinese manufacturers. As reported by ANI, the administration cited concerns that foreign-produced equipment could be exploited to threaten the US electricity grid, with the US power grid being critical to national defence, emergency services and the economy. The order covers equipment including substation transformers, large generators, industrial control systems, and battery energy storage systems, though it excludes facilities used for local distribution of electric energy. Indian companies with exposure to transformers, transmission and grid equipment could benefit from this potential shift in sourcing, especially as rising power demand from AI data centres, semiconductor plants and other industries is driving the need for new grid infrastructure.
