Torrent Power reported Q4 FY26 PBD of ₹547 cr, down 12% YoY, impacted by a ₹171 cr non-recurring provision for power purchase cost disallowance. Adjusted PBD rose 16% YoY to ₹718 cr, supported by a ₹186 cr carrying cost order and ₹58 cr solar rooftop incentive. Generation segment EBITDA fell due to higher maintenance costs and reversal of prior-year provisions. Renewable segment EBITDA declined as generation-based incentives expired. Management guided for ₹80,000 cr capex over 5 years across thermal, renewables, and distribution, with 1.2-1.4 GW renewable commissioning in FY27. Gas supply is secured via contracted cargoes, though spot prices remain elevated. Key risk: regulatory disallowances may recur, impacting generation profitability.
