Integrated power company, Tata Power, reported a profit after tax of ₹12.62 billion (~$144 million) in the first quarter (Q1) of the financial year (FY) 2026, a 6% year-over-year (YoY) increase from ₹11.89 billion (~$135.67 million).

The company reported revenue of ₹174.64 billion (~$1.99 billion), up by 4% from ₹168 billion (~$1.91 billion) in the same quarter last year.

Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD at Tata Power, said in the earnings call that the company witnessed a quarter in which power consumption declined by 1.3% after five to six years. “It was due to the early onset of the monsoon, which came in mid-May. With rains moving away from the central and western parts of India and northern India, we will have high temperatures along with humidity, which will lead to higher power demand in the latter part of August and September.”

The revenue growth can be attributed to a 52% YoY increase in revenue from renewables to ₹36.26 billion (~$413.74 million) from ₹23.83 billion (~$271.9 million) in the previous year.

The renewable business earned a profit of ₹5.31 billion (~$60.5 million), a 95% YoY increase.

Tata Power commissioned 94 MW of renewable energy capacity during the quarter, bringing the total operational renewable capacity to 5.6 GW.

Revenue from thermal and other conventional sources also fell by 7% to ₹48.44 billion (~$552.72 million) from ₹52.16 billion (~$595.17 million) last year.

The company said its coal-based power generation segment is underperforming due to lower coal prices in Indonesia.

Revenue from the rooftop solar segment doubled YoY to ₹8.23 billion (~$93.9 million) during the quarter.

The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew 17% YoY to ₹39.3 billion (~$448.43 million) from ₹33.5 billion (~$382.25 million).

Its earnings per share (EPS) came in at ₹3.31 (~$0.037) against an EPS of ₹3.03 (~$0.034) in Q1 FY 2025.

The company achieved over 200,000 rooftop solar installations and a cumulative capacity exceeding 3.4 GW. It installed over 45,500 rooftop solar systems with a total capacity of 270 MW in the quarter, contributing to a profit of ₹900 million (~$10.26 million), a 260% YoY increase.

In Q1, it commissioned 270 MW of solar projects, a 143% increase from 111 MW in the same period last year.

Tata Power said that it commissioned 652 MW of renewable energy engineering, procurement, and construction projects in Q1, nearly double the quantity that was commissioned last year.

Sinha said that of the 652 MW, 560 MW was for third-party projects, and 92 MW was for utility-scale projects. “The third-party projects will be completed in Q2 and Q3. Thereafter, we expect nearly 1,600 MW of our utility-scale projects to come up in the next three quarters,” added Sinha.

Tata Power’s manufacturing subsidiary, TP Solar, reported a profit of ₹1 billion (~$11.41 million) and a revenue of ₹16.13 billion (~$184.05 million) in Q1 FY 2026.

The company manufactured 949 MW of solar modules and 904 MW of solar cells during the quarter. During the same period, it sold 107 MW of modules and 54 MW of cells to third parties, with an order value of ₹13.03 billion (~$148.67 million).

Tata Power said that it is using a very limited portion of imported cells and is largely using its own solar modules.

Regarding not being listed in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers, Sinha said that Tata Power will be listed once the plant inspection is completed.

The company is manufacturing Mono PERC modules mainly but will soon foray into TOPCon.

In Q1 FY 2026, Tata Power commissioned 652 MW of renewable projects, including 94 MW of its portfolio and 560 MW through third-party engineering, procurement, and construction contracts.

Its total utility-scale operational capacity now stands at 5.6 GW, comprising 4.6 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind capacity. The company plans to add 1.6 GW of capacity over the next three quarters of FY 2026.
