Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Coal (thermal generation), Solar Wafers (manufacturing), and Solar Cells/Modules (EPC business). Solar manufacturing EBITDA margins are approximately 26%.
Import Sources
Indonesia (Coal via 30% stake in PT Kaltim Prima Coal and 26% in PT Baramulti Suksessarana Tbk); Wafers are imported for the 4.3 GW solar cell and module plant.
Key Suppliers
PT Kaltim Prima Coal, PT Baramulti Suksessarana Tbk, and various global wafer suppliers for solar manufacturing.
Capacity Expansion
Current installed capacity is 15.8 GW (as of June 30, 2025). Planned RE addition of 2.6 GW in FY26 and 2.3 GW in FY27. Target to reach 70% RE mix by 2030 from current ~44%.
Raw Material Costs
Power purchase costs for Delhi Discom were INR 2,370 Cr in Q2 FY26, representing 75.3% of segment revenue. Solar manufacturing costs vary based on global wafer demand/supply and input prices.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Solar cell and module plant has stabilized production with reduced costs. AT&C losses in Odisha reduced by 1.7% YoY. Delhi AT&C losses were 5.5% in Q2 FY26.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution business in Odisha saw PAT growth of 362% to INR 174 Cr in Q2 FY26 due to operational stabilization.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
16%
Growth Strategy
Aggressive RE capacity addition (target 2.6 GW in FY26); INR 10,000 Cr investment in a 10 GW ingot and wafer plant; expansion of rooftop solar and EV charging; pursuing PPP opportunities in power distribution and parallel licensing.
Products & Services
Electricity (Thermal, Hydro, Solar, Wind), Transmission services, Power Distribution, Solar Cells, Solar Modules, Rooftop Solar installations, and EV Charging stations.
Brand Portfolio
Tata Power, Tata Power Solar, Pay Autention.
New Products/Services
4.3 GW Solar Cell and Module manufacturing; Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) projects with 1,317 MW and 585 MW pipelines.
Market Expansion
Expansion into parallel distribution licenses and PPP models in new circles; target to reach 70% RE generation mix by 2030.
Market Share & Ranking
India's largest integrated private power utility with 15.8 GW capacity.
Strategic Alliances
Resurgent Power Ventures Pte Ltd (Platform for Prayagraj Power); JVs in Indonesian coal mines (30% and 26% stakes).
External Factors
Industry Trends
Shift toward Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE); government push for Discom privatization and parallel licensing.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with other private utilities and state-owned generation/distribution companies in RE and distribution bidding.
Competitive Moat
None
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Sensitive to global coal prices and solar wafer price volatility. Interest rate sensitivity on INR 62,080 Cr net debt.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing demand for rooftop solar (Rooftop business partly offset Mundra losses) and EV charging infrastructure.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers on solar component imports; regulatory changes in Indonesian coal export policies.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Electricity Act amendment proposals regarding parallel distribution licenses; DERC/DERC regulatory asset amortization schedules.
Environmental Compliance
Targeting Net Zero by 2045; 100% green generation by 2045; water neutrality target achieved by 2023.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate for Delhi Discom was 23.6% in Q2 FY26 (INR 97 Cr tax on INR 411 Cr PBT).
Legal Contingencies
Supreme Court order for Delhi regulatory asset liquidation over 7 years; legal order for approximately $500 million plus 5.33% interest mentioned in credit reports.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Net leverage exceeding 4.0x due to high capex (INR 25,000 Cr plan); Mundra plant operationality; execution risks in 10 GW wafer plant.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Significant concentration in Odisha (4 Discoms) and Delhi/Mumbai distribution circles.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependence on global wafer suppliers for the solar manufacturing segment.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Transition from thermal to RE (target 70% RE by 2030) to mitigate carbon-related regulatory risks.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
High investor complaint redressal rate (98%); Odisha Discom cash balances (encumbered) improve liquidity profile if freed.
