Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) shares were up 1.7 percent to hit 52-week high of Rs 121.15 on August 31 after the engineering PSU won a Rs 15,530-crore order from state-run NTPC for a thermal power plant. The order comes days after BHEL bagged a Rs 2,242-crore work from NHPC and a Rs 4,000-crore from an Adani Power subsidiary.
The sock has surged nearly 6 percent in the past five days, ostensibly on the back of its order-winning spree. The stock closed at Rs 118 on August 30. BHEL's latest NTPC order will be executed over over eight years.

Stock call
Broking firm Prabhudas Lilladher said the pick-up in thermal power orders and the company's focus on diversification in segments such as railways, defence, nuclear and hydro augurs well in the long term.
The stock is trading at PE of 46.8x/26.6x FY24/25E. Prabhudas Lilladher, however, has “reduce” call on BHEL with a target price of Rs 67.
