TPDDL regulatory true-up
The group disclosed an unfavourable SIAC award directing payment of USD 490.32 million (plus costs and interest) which the company is appealing and has not provided for in Q3 FY26.
Total Expenses decreased to ₹13,465.06 Cr in Q3 FY26 from ₹14,249.35 Cr in Q3 FY25, helping protect profitability despite lower revenue.
The Mundra Power Plant operations were suspended from 3rd July 2025 for overhauls, a continuing operational constraint noted by management.
Guidance & Outlook
5
Management is in discussions with procurers for a Supplementary Power Purchase Agreement for the Mundra plant and will assess impact once SPPA is finalised.
Legal appeal filed at Singapore International Commercial Court against SIAC award; management expects a favourable outcome and has not recognised a provision as at Q3 FY26.
Group noted recognition of labour-code related expense treated largely as pass-through for regulated businesses, implying limited EBITDA impact for regulated segments.
Company completed acquisition of Jejuri Hinjewadi Power Transmission Limited post-quarter to expand transmission footprint under BOOT model.
Renewables growth remains a strategic focus given Q3 FY26 renewables revenue of ₹3,785.43 Cr, supporting medium-term transition to cleaner generation mix.
Risks & Concerns
6
Adverse arbitration exposure
SIAC awarded USD 490.32 million plus costs and interest (final award); appeal is filed but no provision recorded, posing downside risk if appeal fails.
Higher finance costs of ₹1,363.66 Cr in Q3 FY26 increase leverage-related cash outflows and sensitivity to interest rate movements.
Revenue decline in Q3 FY26 to ₹13,948.41 Cr vs ₹15,391.06 Cr in Q3 FY25 indicates demand or price pressure in Thermal & Hydro that could persist near-term.
Operational risk from Mundra plant suspension since July 2025 could constrain thermal availability and contracted revenues until overhauls and SPPA are resolved.
