“In this quarter for the nine month period ended FY26 net generation grew by 62% rising from 24.4 billion units to 39.6 billion. Notably, long term PPAs accounted for 82% of total power sales and registered a 63% year on year increase in quarter three — Sharad Mahendra”
“Further, hydro generation grew 27% year on year versus the national average increase of 13% during the quarter benefiting from improved hydrology and contribution from our new Kuttehar plant in Himachal — Sharad Mahendra”
“The key takeaway is that the robust capacity additions undertaken so far have now begun translating into higher energy generation as well as cash flows and we expect this momentum to improve going forward — Sharad Mahendra”
“As we add capacities, initial returns are lower due to higher interest and depreciation. However, as these stabilize, returns at the PBT level will improve. We are in an execution phase, and seasonal factors also affect quarterly results — Management”
