The company said the net profit was on account of better realisation in the core business segments consisting of generation, transmission, distribution and renewables.
The consolidated revenue for the Tata Group company increased by 6.2 percent to Rs 15,294.13 crore compared to Rs 14,401.95 crore during the same period last year.

Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) jumped 20 percent to Rs 3060.55 crore from Rs 2607.61 crore.
Praveer Sinha, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Power, said, "Our core businesses continue to perform well and have helped the company clock its 17th consecutive profit after tax (PAT) growth quarter. Our consistent performance shows strong fundamentals of excellence in operational performance and project execution capability."
"As the country witnesses a surge in power demand, Tata Power is well-positioned to capitalise on the growth momentum with its cutting-edge, customized and cost-effective clean and green energy solutions," he added.
