Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Thermal Coal (Domestic and Imported). Fuel Supply Agreements (FSAs) account for 57% of coal-based generation capacity (81% of domestic fuel).
Import Sources
Domestic sources (India) via FSAs and overseas coal mining (Adani Group presence in international markets).
Key Suppliers
Coal India (via FSAs), Adani Group (Overseas mines), and Adani Logistics for end-to-end logistics management.
Capacity Expansion
Current installed capacity is 18 GW (over 17 GW operational). Planned expansion to 30.67 GW in the medium term and 42 GW by 2032. 100% of BTG sets for 23,720 MW brownfield/greenfield projects have been ordered.
Raw Material Costs
Fuel prices decreased in FY 2024-25, which led to lower change-in-law revenue recovery but supported higher continuing EBITDA. Inventory to fuel cost ratio improved to 29 days from 44 days.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Consistent 90%+ plant availability maintained over many years; 62% of the fleet utilizes supercritical technology for higher efficiency.
Logistics & Distribution
Logistics assurance is provided through Adani Logistics, leveraging decades of in-house coal sourcing and end-to-end management experience.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
133%
Growth Strategy
Capacity expansion from 18 GW to 42 GW by 2032 using a brownfield-heavy model (60% of upcoming capacity). Strategy includes 100% land availability, pre-bid tie-ups for equipment, and funding through internal accruals and debt capital markets.
Products & Services
Thermal Power (Electricity) sold under long-term and medium-term PPAs and in the merchant market.
Brand Portfolio
Adani Power.
New Products/Services
Recent 1 GW of PPA awards and upcoming commissioning of new capacities from the next financial year onwards.
Market Expansion
Targeting a 42 GW capacity by 2032 to increase market share in the thermal power sector and enhance India's energy security.
Market Share & Ranking
India's largest private thermal power producer with over 17 GW installed capacity.
Strategic Alliances
JV with EdgeConnex (AdaniConneX) for data centers; strategic partnership with PTSL (Adani Power Trading) for merchant power sales.
External Factors
Industry Trends
India is the fastest-growing large economy; thermal power remains critical for base load energy security despite the shift toward renewables.
Competitive Landscape
Key competitors include other private IPPs and state-owned utilities; APL maintains a competitive edge through its modern supercritical fleet (62%).
Competitive Moat
Durable advantages include scale (largest private producer), integrated logistics (Adani Logistics), and 80%+ revenue visibility through long-term PPAs. Moat is sustainable due to brownfield cost advantages.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to India's GDP growth (6.7% CAGR) and industrial power demand. Subdued demand in Q2 FY26 due to weather conditions impacted revenue growth.
Consumer Behavior
Rising energy demand across India driven by industrialization and indigenous digital stack development.
Geopolitical Risks
Ambition to establish a presence in the international energy market; reliance on overseas coal sourcing exposes the company to global fuel price volatility.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
CERC regulations govern trading margins for PTSL; SEBI RPT standards (effective Sept 2025) require Audit Committee and shareholder approval for transactions like the INR 4,500 Cr PTSL agreement.
Environmental Compliance
ESG ratings and inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series; commitment to minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.
Taxation Policy Impact
Not specifically disclosed as a percentage rate.
Legal Contingencies
Resolution of all major regulatory matters and realization of outstanding dues from DISCOMs contributed INR 2,433 Cr to revenue in FY 2024-25.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Reputational risks due to governance scrutiny could hinder fundraising; merchant power demand and tariff volatility (16% untied capacity) impact margin stability.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Pan-India presence, but 15% share of coal-based installations is concentrated in host states.
Third Party Dependencies
Significant dependency on Coal India for 57% of coal requirements via FSAs.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by a modern fleet where 62% of capacity uses supercritical technology; focus on digital procurement and plant monitoring.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Exposure to weak to moderate credit profiles of state DISCOMs; debtor turnover increased to 80 days in FY 2024-25.
