✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Adani Power reported Q2 FY26 continuing revenue of INR 13,639 crore, up ~1% YoY, with EBITDA of INR 5,325 crore and PAT of INR 2,906 crore. Power sales grew 7% to 23.7 BU, but PLF fell to 62.8% due to an extended monsoon suppressing demand and merchant tariffs. Management highlighted strong PPA wins (9+ GW of 14.5 GW awarded) and a 42 GW capacity target by 2032. Near-term guidance points to improved PLF as weather normalizes and merchant realizations recover to ~INR 6/unit. Key risk: prolonged softness in merchant tariffs could pressure near-term earnings.

DROPPED
Capacity expansion target of 12,520 MW by 2030

Following government notification, SGD will be dropped from new plants except Mahan and Raipur, lowering capital cost.

NEW RISK
Prolonged softness in merchant tariffs

Merchant realization fell to INR 5.37/unit in Q2 from INR 5.88 last year; if demand recovery is delayed, near-term earnings could be pressured.

NEW RISK
Execution risk on 23.5 GW expansion

Massive capex of INR 2 lakh crore and tight timelines (2032) pose execution and funding risks, though management cites pre-ordered equipment and brownfield advantages.

NEW RISK
Godda plant receivables and Bangladesh PPA risk

Godda PLF was 72% and receivables are only 1.5 months overdue, but any deterioration in Bangladesh's payment or scheduling could impact cash flows.

NEW RISK
Change in law impact on fuel costs

GST compensation cess removal may affect fuel costs; while management expects pass-through, delays in regulatory approvals could create near-term uncertainty.

RISK GONE
Merchant tariff volatility

Merchant realizations fell 14.3% YoY due to early monsoon and weak demand; further weakness could impact earnings.

RISK GONE
Execution delays in acquired assets

Coastal and Vidarbha plants required overhauling; any delays in restoring full availability could affect cash flows.

RISK GONE
Pending regulatory settlement with Haryana Discom

Only 50% of alternate coal compensation bills are being paid; full resolution is pending and could impact receivables.

RISK GONE
Increased debt from bridge financing

Total debt rose to INR 44,372 crore from INR 38,775 crore in March 2025, partly due to interim bridge loans for capex.
