Torrent Power Q4 profit sinks 70%; revenue, margin flat; ₹5 dividend declared

Date:

Torrent Power reported a 70% year-on-year fall in consolidated net profit for the March quarter at ₹318.2 crore, compared with ₹1,060 crore in the corresponding period last year, impacted by a high base due to a one-time deferred tax reversal in FY25.Revenue for the quarter remained largely flat at ₹5,930 crore against ₹5,951 crore a year ago, while EBITDA rose 1.7% to ₹1,149.3 crore against ₹1,130.5 crore a year ago.

The EBITDA margin improved slightly to 17.9% from 17.5% last year.
The company said after adjusting for the one-time, non-cash reversal of deferred tax liabilities worth ₹637 crore in FY25, total comprehensive income improved by ₹92 crore, aided by better operational performance in its licensed and franchised distribution businesses and renewable energy segment.However, this was partly offset by weaker contribution from the gas-based generation business amid volatile gas markets and dynamic power demand conditions.

The board recommended a final dividend

of ₹5 per equity share for FY26, in addition to an interim dividend of ₹15 per share already paid during the fourth quarter.The company also approved raising up to ₹10,000 crore through the issuance of non-convertible debentures in one or more tranches via private placement.

Torrent Vice Chairman and Managing Director Jinal Mehta said the company committed over ₹30,000 crore towards expanding thermal capacity by 3 GW, including a new 1,600 MW project in Madhya Pradesh and acquisition of 1,400 MW Nabha Power.

He added that the company continues to strengthen its renewables, storage and distribution businesses while remaining cautious about near-term challenges arising from turmoil in the West Asia.
