Vedanta Power Ltd has reported a strong operational performance for the first quarter of FY27, with power sales rising 38 per cent year-on-year to 5,225 million units (MU), driven by improved generation across its key assets and a significant contribution from Meenakshi Energy.
According to a regulatory filing submitted to the BSE on Friday, the company recorded power sales of 5,225 MU during the quarter ended June 2026, compared with 3,784 MU in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.
The highest growth among Vedanta Power’s generating assets came from Meenakshi Energy, where power sales surged 245 per cent year-on-year to 1,350 MU. The growth was supported by operations running at the plant’s full installed capacity of 1,000 MW, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency and higher generation levels during the quarter.
Meanwhile, the Talwandi Sabo Thermal Plant recorded power sales of 2,723 MU during the reporting period, remaining broadly in line with the year-ago quarter. The plant maintained a Plant Availability Factor (PAF) of 86 per cent, surpassing the normative availability benchmark of 80 per cent stipulated under its power purchase agreement with the Punjab government.
The quarterly performance comes shortly after Vedanta Power’s shares were listed on both the BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on June 15, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey.
Looking ahead, Vedanta Power is pursuing an ambitious expansion strategy aimed at strengthening its position in India’s evolving energy landscape. The company has previously indicated that it is evaluating opportunities in hydro power, battery energy storage and nuclear energy as part of its long-term diversification roadmap.
Vedanta Power has identified nuclear energy as a clean and dependable source of round-the-clock power generation and considers it a critical component in supporting India’s energy transition objectives.
Backed by a defined growth roadmap, the company remains focused on enhancing operational excellence, expanding generation capacity and developing a long-term power platform for the country. Vedanta Power plans to scale its installed capacity to 20 GW and has set a long-term objective of becoming one of India’s top three private-sector power companies.
A part of Vedanta Resources Ltd, Vedanta Power currently operates a total thermal power generation capacity of 4,780 MW. The company supplies electricity to distribution companies across India through long-term partnerships while supporting the country’s growing grid requirements.
