Vedanta Power Q1 Sales Rise 38% on Meenakshi Energy Growth, Sakti Plant Shutdown Affects Volumes
Vedanta Power Ltd reported a 38% year-on-year increase in power sales to 5,225 million units in Q1 FY27, driven mainly by a 245% rise at Meenakshi Energy following its capacity expansion to 1,000 MW. Talwandi Sabo Thermal Plant's output remained stable with an 86% plant availability factor. However, sequential sales declined 6% due to the Sakti Thermal Plant shutdown after a boiler blast. The company plans to diversify into hydro, battery storage, and nuclear energy, aiming to expand capacity to 20 GW.
