Sarda Energy & Minerals Limited has reported a significant 58% year-on-year growth in profit after tax (PAT) for the financial year 2026, reaching ₹1,109 crore. The company also announced its highest ever dividend at 200%, driven by strong performance across its energy and minerals segments.
The energy segment emerged as a primary growth driver, contributing two-thirds to the company’s EBITDA, which crossed the ₹2,000 crore mark for the first time. Sarda Energy achieved record production levels in sponge iron, iron ore pellets, HB wires, and coal, alongside its highest ever generation and sale of thermal and hydro power.
During the fourth quarter of FY26, the company maintained steady revenue at ₹1,258 crore, with EBITDA increasing by 11% year-on-year to ₹352 crore. PAT for the quarter grew by 53% to ₹155 crore compared to ₹101 crore in Q4 FY25.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court upheld Sarda Energy’s resolution plan for SKS Power Generation (Chhattisgarh) Ltd, facilitating a doubling of capacity by FY30. This decision marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategic growth plans.
Mr. Pankaj Sarda, Managing Director, commented on the results, highlighting the company’s transformation into a scalable, diversified energy and mining business over the past five years. He noted the company’s plans to continue expanding its energy portfolio, supported by the recent acquisition of a 66 MW hydropower project in Arunachal Pradesh.
With a net debt-free balance sheet and plans to double operational energy capacity over the medium term, Sarda Energy is well-positioned to capitalise on India’s long-term structural growth opportunities.
