Tata Power Co. Q3 PAT grows 73% YoY to Rs 552 cr

10 Feb 2022 , 09:33 AM

Consolidated PAT improved on the back of strong all-round business performance by all verticals while revenue witnessed a robust growth on account of expanded operation in Odisha DISCOMs, higher project execution by Tata Power Solar Systems (TPSSL) and strong performance of all other businesses.

Consolidated profit before tax (PBT) surged 87.2% to Rs 788.49 crore in Q3 FY22 from Rs 421.09 crore in Q3 FY21. Underlying EBITDA grew 16% to Rs 2,499 crore in Q3 FY22 as against Rs 2,149 crore in Q3 FY21, mainly due to higher profit from coal mines offset by higher losses in CGPL due to increase in coal prices.

Standalone revenues were up by 29.5% Y-o-Y (year-on-year) at Rs 2147.20 crore as compared to Rs 1657.59 crore in Q3 FY21, mainly due to higher fuel cost. PAT slumped 91.5% Y-o-Y to Rs 48.67 crore as compared to Rs 574.52 crore in Q3 FY21, mainly due to lower dividend income declared by the subsidiaries in this quarter.

Commenting on the companys Q3 performance, Praveer Sinha, the chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director (MD) of Tata Power, said, Tata Power has delivered strong financial performance for the 9th consecutive quarter. All our business clusters have contributed significantly despite facing pandemic-related challenges, demonstrating tremendous resilience, strength and agility.

Well focus on utilising technology to offer smart, green energy solutions and provide world class experience to our 12 million plus customers.
