India's Power Sector Profits Expected to Rise Up to 11% in Q2FY27 on Strong Demand
India's power sector is projected to see up to 11% year-on-year profit growth in Q2FY27, driven by a nearly 12% rise in electricity demand and higher plant load factors for thermal power. Peak power demand increased to 269GW, with thermal power contributing 69% of generation. Tighter supply led to higher electricity prices on the Indian Energy Exchange, with solar and non-solar hour prices rising. Electricity trading volumes also grew, while coal stock at NTPC plants remained low, indicating supply constraints.
