GTV Engineering Expands into Power Generation with CHPPL Stake Acquisition

GTV Engineering's Board of Directors approved a significant diversification plan on March 23, 2026, expanding into power generation and heavy steel fabrication sectors.

This expansion centers on acquiring a 35.31% equity stake in Chirchind Hydro Power Private Limited (CHPPL). The acquisition will be funded through a preferential issue of 39,42,047 equity shares at ₹59.65 per share, totaling ₹23.52 crore. Upon completion, CHPPL will become a subsidiary of GTV Engineering, making Shivalik Energy Private Limited, an existing CHPPL subsidiary, a step-down subsidiary.

The board also approved a ₹100 crore facility for loans, guarantees, or securities, intended to support future growth initiatives or working capital needs.

Strategic Rationale

This move diversifies GTV Engineering, traditionally a heavy engineering equipment manufacturer. Venturing into renewable energy, specifically small hydro power projects, aligns with India's growing focus on clean energy. The move into heavy steel fabrication, coupled with existing engineering expertise, suggests potential synergy and expansion of GTV's industrial capabilities, offering a pathway to tap into new revenue streams and markets.
