NHPC Reports Q1 Profit Growth Amid Capacity Additions and Monsoon Challenges
NHPC reported a 2.9% rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,095.87 crore in Q1 FY27, supported by recently commissioned capacity and lower operating costs. Revenue increased 18.5% to Rs 3,808.31 crore, while operating margin improved to 47.73%. However, net profit margin declined due to higher expenses. Power generation rose 8% year-on-year, but excluding new projects, it fell about 7% amid delayed monsoon impacts. NHPC plans further capacity additions and is expanding into solar power projects.
