Financial Performance
The company's total continuing revenue for Q1 FY26 was ₹14,167.49 crore, compared to ₹15,051.60 crore in Q1 FY25, primarily due to lower merchant tariff realization and import coal prices year-on-year. However, the revenue remained similar to Q4 FY25, despite lower volumes, due to improved merchant realization on a sequential basis.
Continuing EBITDA for Q1 FY26 stood at ₹5,743.62 crore, compared to ₹6,290.28 crore for Q1 FY25, due to lower revenue and additional operating expenses of recent acquisitions year-on-year. Despite this, the continuing EBITDA for Q1 FY26 was 12.67% higher than Q4 FY25 due to higher merchant tariffs and lower fuel costs as well as operating expenses.
Operational Highlights

- Adani Power (Jharkhand) Limited ["APJL"] has been amalgamated with APL, its holding company, effective from 1st April 2024. As a result, the 1,600 MW power generation capacity of the Godda plant will form part of the standalone entity of APL.

Other Key Points
- Higher depreciation is on account of the newly acquired power plants.

The choice of Ultra-supercritical technology for the new power plants will enable APL to generate power with greater fuel efficiency, with a lower consumption of coal resulting in lower emissions for both fuel transportation and power generation. These projects, which are generating local employment opportunities and providing a boost to the regional economy, will also enable greater integration of renewable energy by providing grid-stabilising, base load and peaking power supply.
APL's water intensity performance for Q1 FY26 is 2.21 m³/MWh, which is significantly lower than the statutory limit for hinterland plants.
APL has achieved 110% aggregate fly ash utilization for Q1 FY26 as part of its continuous efforts to meet its environmental obligations and follow sustainable practices.
