The company is optimistic about achieving its 25 GW target by FY 2030, with an estimated 3 GW annual capacity addition. It aims to achieve this target through a mix of renewable and conventional energy sources, with 16 GW from solar and wind, 8 GW from hydro projects, and the remaining capacity from thermal energy.

First nine months (9M) results

In 9M FY 2025, SJVN reported a 23% YoY rise in revenue to ₹28.28 billion (~$325.25 million) from ₹23.04 billion (~$264.98 million).

R.K. Chaudhary, Chairman and Managing Director, SJVN, stated that the gap between the awarded 7 GW renewable portfolio and the 2.2 GW under construction is due to delays in signing power sale agreements (PSAs). Power purchase agreements (PPAs) with developers cannot be finalized without these agreements with distribution companies (DISCOMs), delaying project execution.

He noted that SJVN has engaged with multiple DISCOMs, and recently, the Ministry of Power and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) held a meeting to address the issue. MNRE is planning further discussions with state utilities to encourage them to sign the PSAs. Once the PSAs are signed, PPAs with developers will follow immediately. Chaudhary said he expects these issues to be resolved within the next two months.

He added that SJVN is evaluating options for listing and demerging SJVN Green Energy. The company aims to proceed with the listing in the third or fourth quarter of FY 2026, with valuation considerations still pending.

SJVN’s revenue rose 16.38% YoY to ₹11.08 billion (~$131.33 million) in Q2 FY25 from ₹9.52 billion (~$112.75 million).
