Posted on


Shares of Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power surged 8.64% to Rs 43.37 on the BSE in early trade on Thursday, after the company reported a net profit of Rs 41.95 crore for the December quarter. This marks a strong rebound from a loss of Rs 1,136.75 crore during the same period last year.

Meanwhile, the firm had already returned to profitability in Q2FY25, posting a profit of Rs 2,878.15 crore, driven by an exceptional gain of Rs 3,230.42 crore following the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.

Revenue from operations declined 4.6% to Rs 1,852 crore in Q3FY25, compared to Rs 1,943 crore in the year-ago period. Meanwhile, expenses fell 33% to Rs 2,109.56 crore, down from Rs 3,167.49 crore last year.

Reliance Power’s auditors highlighted material uncertainty regarding the financial position of a subsidiary, Rajasthan Sun Technique Energy (RSTEPL), which has defaulted on debt repayments and incurred sustained losses.

The management has maintained that the entity’s accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, citing ongoing discussions with lenders for debt resolution. The company is also pursuing regulatory compensation related to foreign exchange rate variations and changes in direct normal irradiance (DNI).
