The company posted a 49% growth in its consolidated net profit at ₹1,366 crore for the second quarter of the current financial year (Q2 FY27) as compared to ₹919 crore logged during the same period last year. This was the highest-ever quarterly profit, driven by broad-based growth across businesses.

The Tata firm’s revenue from operations increased 26% to ₹19,636 crore in the July-September quarter as against ₹15,545 crore seen in the year-ago period.

Tata Power’s operating profit, also known as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), jumped 11% to ₹3,668 crore as compared to ₹3,302 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Its EBITDA margin, however, contracted to 18.68% in the reporting quarter from 21.24% in Q2 FY26.

What analysts said after Q2

Citi analysts said Tata Power saw broad-based improvement across its thermal generation, coal, renewables and regulated transmission and distribution businesses. The company retained its FY27 capex target of ₹25,000 crore and renewable commissioning target of 2.5 GW, despite adding only 645 MW in the first half due to transmission evacuation delays, which pushed execution into the second half.

Renewable energy curtailment also increased to 11%, partly offsetting capacity additions and improved plant load factors (PLFs). The analysts added that the back-ended commissioning plan and closure of the Mundra SPPA remain key monitorables.

Analysts from CLSA in a note on Thursday said Tata Power’s performance was driven by Indonesia coal, a low base following the shutdown of Mundra and a recovery in wind generation due to climate conditions. These factors were partly offset by a decline in PAT from the solar EPC business and weak performance in the solar renewable energy IPP business due to curtailment.

The analysts also highlighted a 257-basis-point margin impact in the solar module and cell business in Q2, along with continued pressure on EPC margins, which declined by 410 basis points.

JPMorgan analysts said Tata Power reported broadly healthy results for Q2 FY27, with growth across businesses aided by higher profits from coal special purpose vehicles (SPVs). They added that the outcome of the case in Singapore remains a key monitorable and that the company's valuations leave limited upside.

Other updates from Q2

  • In Q2 FY27 Tata Power produced 0.9 GW of solar cells (1.8 GW in H1 FY27) and 1 GW of solar modules (2.0 GW in H1 FY27), in addition, profitability was aided by better sales mix and the industry-leading module yield of 97%.
