Revenue from operations grew 21.2% to Rs 54,269.95 crore from Rs 44,784.05 crore. Fuel expenses went up to Rs 28,628.19 crore from Rs 23,062.34 crore. Solar power income reached Rs 1,138.23 crore, versus Rs 722.52 crore, while gross revenue from energy trading came to Rs 3,172.14 crore compared with Rs 2,655.43 crore.
On a standalone basis, profit increased 14.3% to Rs 5,319.94 crore. The board declared a first interim dividend of Rs 3 per equity share for FY27, with November 6, 2026 set as the record date and payments starting November 25, 2026.
why it matters
For investors, the main takeaway is the combination of faster top-line growth, higher profit and an interim payout for shareholders of a major state-owned power producer. Solar and trading income also grew, which points to a revenue base that is widening beyond core generation.
