Guidance & Outlook
4
Management flagged that Smart Meter is now a separate operating segment (effective Q2 FY26), with revenue recognised as service concession/financial asset under Ind AS; this signals continued focus on meter rollouts.
Group commentary indicates recovery of past RAC will continue to be material to near‑term revenue recognition (₹215.26 Cr recovered in Q3 FY26), implying regulatory outcomes will drive quarterly volatility.
The Board approved and the results reflect recognition under new labour codes; management will monitor subsequent rules and may adjust future provisions accordingly.
No new exceptional charges were reported in Q3 FY26, suggesting management expects headline operating performance to be driven by core transmission/distribution operations going into Q4 FY26.
