NHPC Limited has released its financial results for the second quarter of FY25, showing a steady revenue increase but a significant decline in net profit. Here’s a breakdown of key performance metrics:

  1. Revenue from Operations: NHPC reported revenue of ₹3,051.93 crore for Q2 FY25, a 4.1% rise compared to ₹2,931.26 crore in Q2 FY24.
  2. Net Profit: The company posted a net profit of ₹908.97 crore for the quarter, marking a sharp 41.2% decline from ₹1,545.85 crore in the same period last year. The profit drop is a notable deviation from the revenue trend.
  3. EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) for Q2 FY25 stood at ₹1,798.8 crore, a slight increase of 1.7% from ₹1,768.18 crore in the previous year’s quarter.
  4. EBITDA Margin: The EBITDA margin for the quarter was 58.9%, down by 138 basis points from the 60.3% margin in Q2 FY24.

The decline in net profit, despite revenue growth, suggests possible challenges in cost management or other operating expenses. The EBITDA margin decrease also points to a slightly reduced profitability at the operational level.
