Reliance Power Reports Q4 FY26 Net Loss Amid Rising Expenses and Impairment Charge

Reliance Power, led by Anil Ambani, reported a consolidated net loss of approximately Rs 490 crore in Q4 FY26, reversing from a Rs 125 crore profit in the same quarter last year. Revenue declined by around 4-5% year-on-year to about Rs 1,887 crore, while total expenses rose sequentially to nearly Rs 1,990 crore. The loss was influenced by an exceptional impairment charge of Rs 381.6 crore related to Rajasthan Sun Technique Energy Private Limited. The company also faces ongoing financial challenges at certain subsidiaries, with lender proceedings underway.
