Adani Power Q1 results: Net profit jumps 42% YoY to ₹4,806 crore; board approves raising ₹15,000 crore

Adani Power Q1 results: Adani Power reported a strong set of earnings for the June quarter (Q1 FY27) on Wednesday, 22 July, with net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent rising 42% year-on-year to ₹4,806 crore, compared with ₹3,385 crore in the corresponding period last year.

The company's revenue from operations increased 34% YoY to ₹18,902 crore, up from ₹14,109 crore in the year-ago quarter.

The company's board has approved a proposal to raise up to ₹15,000 crore through a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) or the issuance of other eligible securities, subject to obtaining necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The company, in an exchange filing, said its consolidated continuing EBITDA rose 21.6% year-on-year to a record ₹6,983 crore in Q1 FY27, compared with ₹5,744 crore in the year-ago period, marking its highest-ever quarterly continuing EBITDA and reflecting the strength of its core operating performance despite elevated fuel costs.

The company also recognised one-time revenue of ₹1,386.34 crore relating to prior periods during the quarter, primarily due to the revision of historical energy charges under certain power purchase agreements (PPAs), compared with ₹406.21 crore recognised in the corresponding quarter last year.

According to the filing, fuel costs increased by 30.15% year-on-year to ₹9,512.70 crore from ₹7,309.19 crore, driven by higher generation volumes and higher landed costs of imported coal. Operating expenses also rose in line with the company's expanding generation capacity and growing scale of operations.

The company said it continues to make rapid progress towards its 45 GW capacity expansion target, supported by strong operational cash flows. It added that the proposed acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates' power assets will further strengthen its portfolio, while the company is also diversifying into domestic and international hydropower projects and preparing to explore opportunities in the nuclear power segment.

Adani Power share price today

Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said Adani Power has been trading within a consolidation range of ₹212-236 since the beginning of June, indicating no clear directional trend.

According to Shah, the stock's 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) have flattened, signalling weakening short-term momentum.
