Power market update
- Monsoons started early in May ’25 and have continued in spells more than a month beyond their usual abatement horizon.
- These unprecedented weather patterns have disrupted demand in peak and non-peak hours, subduing tariffs in the merchant market.
- Power demand growth statistics have been further affected by a high base effect due to the heat wave phenomenon and resultant demand surge in H1 FY25.
- Consequently, all-India energy demand grew at a slower pace of 3.2% to 449.2 BU in Q2 FY26 as compared to 435.1 BU in Q2 FY25. Energy demand growth for H1 FY26 was 0.8% at 894.4 BU as compared to 887.5 BU for H1 FY25.

EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
Key financial highlights
- Robust Continuing Operating Revenue performance for Q2 FY26 of Rs. 13,106.34 Crore, as compared to Rs. 12,949.12 Crore in Q2 FY25 on the basis of higher volumes, which was marginally tempered by lower PPA tariff realization on account of lower international coal prices as well as lower merchant tariffs.
- Continuing Operating Revenues for H1 FY26 were slightly lower at Rs. 26,809.28 Crore as compared to Rs. 27,666.01 Crore in H1 FY25 in line with lower merchant tariff realization and import coal prices.
- Resilient Continuing EBITDA performance of Rs. 5,332.71 Crore in Q2 FY26 as compared to Rs. 5,402 Crore in Q2 FY25, despite expenses on scheduled overhauling in some of the power plants, in addition to the operating expenses of newly acquired plants.
- Continuing EBITDA for H1 FY26 was Rs. 11,076.87 Crore in comparison to Rs. 11,692.28 Crore for H1 FY25, in line with continuing revenue.
- Higher depreciation in Q2 FY 26 and H1 FY26 is on account of the newly acquired power plants.
- Consistent control on Finance Costs in Q2 and H1 FY26 as compared to corresponding periods of FY25 despite new acquisitions and increased scale of operations.
- One-time revenue recognition of prior period items of Rs. 668.53 Crore in Q2 FY26 as compared to Rs. 597.54 Crore in Q2 FY25 and Rs. 1,074.20 Crore in H1 FY26 as compared to Rs. 1,019.89 Crore in H1 FY25. One-time revenue recognition has moderated substantially in FY26 following resolution of all major regulatory matters and realisation of outstanding dues from DISCOMs in FY 24 and FY25.
- Profit After Tax for Q2 FY26 was a strong Rs. 2,906.46 Crore as compared to Rs. 3,297.52 Crore in Q2 FY25, affected by slightly lower pre-tax profit and higher tax charge.
- Profit After Tax for H1 FY26 was Rs. 6,211.59 Crore as compared to Rs. 7,210.31 Crore for H1 FY25, affected mainly by a lower operating income and higher depreciation charge.

The net debt position is Rs. 36,775.72 Crore as of 30th September 2025 as compared to Rs. 31,023.43 Crore as of 31st March 2025. The increase in debt is on account of bridge financing for capital expenditure as well as working capital borrowings in line with the increased scale of operations.
- During Q2 FY26, APL fully redeemed Unsecured Perpetual Securities [“UPS”] of Rs. 478.33 Crore principal amount along with the remaining cumulative distribution. The amount of UPS principal outstanding as of Rs. 30th September 2025 is NIL.
Project Updates
APL has increased its targeted capacity expansion to 41,870 MW by FY 2031-32 by several brownfield and greenfield projects with a combined capacity of 23,720 MW. It has already given advance orders for supply of main plant equipment such as Ultra-supercritical boilers, turbines, and generators to leading equipment manufacturers, thereby ensuring timely capital equipment supplies. APL already possesses the required land at strategic locations for the expansion, thus removing a critical bottleneck for project execution. These proactive steps, coupled with the Adani Group’s in-house project management expertise, provide APL an unparalleled advantage to achieve capacity expansion in a timely and cost-effective manner, and meet India’s growing power demand with reliable and cost-effective supply.
The execution of APL’s brownfield expansion projects is progressing rapidly, with cumulative work for Mahan Phase-II 1,600 MW USCTPP at 73%, Raipur Phase-II 1,600 MW USCTPP at 35%, and Raigarh Phase-II 1,600 MW USCTPP at 30%. Further, APL’s wholly owned subsidiary Korba Power Ltd. has revived the construction of its 1,320 MW Supercritical power project at Korba (Chhattisgarh). These projects are scheduled to be completed in stages between FY 2026-27 and FY 2028-29.
