Azad Engineering shares jump 10% as company expands GE Vernova's manufacturing footprint

Azad Engineering shares rallied nearly 10% on Tuesday after the company announced the inauguration of two exclusive lean manufacturing facilities for GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Hyderabad.

The move came a day after Azad Engineering announced the inauguration of two new facilities at its Centre of Excellence & Innovation Centre in Tunikibollaram, Hyderabad, taking the number of dedicated manufacturing facilities for GE Vernova to three.

New facilities strengthen GE Vernova partnership

The latest expansion gives Azad Engineering a larger dedicated manufacturing footprint for GE Vernova, with the two new facilities each spanning 7,600 sq m.

According to the company’s exchange filing, the facilities will manufacture highly engineered rotating and stationary airfoils as well as specialised machined parts. These products will cater to GE Vernova’s global demand in the power generation and essential industries.

The development is significant for Azad Engineering as it expands its dedicated manufacturing presence for a global energy major. Rather than being a standalone capacity addition, the company is positioning the new facilities specifically around GE Vernova’s requirements.

The company said the new facilities are designed to meet GE Vernova’s global demand, highlighting the role of the Hyderabad manufacturing base in supporting the energy major’s requirements.

Azad Engineering shares have been closely watched after a strong run in recent months, and Tuesday’s sharp move comes as investors assess the significance of the expanded manufacturing relationship.

The stock was trading at Rs 2,989, up 9.76% on Tuesday afternoon. It had risen to an intraday high of Rs 2,995, compared with the day’s low of Rs 2,751.10.
