Shares of Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power Ltd surged nearly 10% in early trade on Monday, hitting ₹42.28 on the NSE, following the announcement of an impressive turnaround in its Q4 FY25 earnings. The stock opened higher and quickly gained momentum, making it one of the top gainers on the exchange today.
The company posted a net profit of ₹125.6 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, a significant recovery from a net loss of ₹397.6 crore in the same period last year. Although revenue from operations dipped slightly by 1% to ₹1,978 crore, operational efficiency improved dramatically.
EBITDA for the quarter soared 1,109% YoY to ₹589.8 crore from ₹48.8 crore. The EBITDA margin rose sharply to 29.8% from 2.4%, reflecting stronger cost control and improved generation metrics.
Total income stood at ₹2,066 crore in the March quarter. The company has also made aggressive debt repayments worth ₹5,338 crore over the past 12 months, lowering its debt-to-equity ratio from 1.61:1 in FY24 to 0.88:1, among the lowest in the power sector. Net worth increased to ₹16,337 crore.
Operationally, the Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project achieved a PLF of 87%, and the Rosa Power Plant maintained a 97% availability rate. The company also reported zero bank debt and no payment defaults during the year.
In a strategic move, Reliance Nu Suntech, a wholly owned subsidiary, signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with SECI to build Asia’s largest solar-plus-BESS project. With an investment of ₹10,000 crore, the plant will pair 930 MW of solar capacity with a 465 MW/1860 MWh battery energy storage system.
The results were declared after market hours on Friday. The stock closed at ₹38.65 on May 10 and opened significantly higher today.
