TATA POWER GETS AVERAGE TARIFF HIKE OF 24% VS 12% REQUESTED BY THE CO FOR FY24 - 25.POWER SECTOR COMPANIES REACTS MOSTLY ON THE MERCHANT PRICES.They hit a peak of Rs 8.4 /kWh in Aprโ09 and subsequently started to slide and the whole
sector went down with them - utilities, equipments and financiers.Tata power tariff hike is a strong indication that it will continue to outperform itโs peers.
Tata Power to acquire 40% stake in Bhutanese hydropower project.
Tata Power is investing approximately Rs. 830 crore to acquire a 40% stake in Khorlochhu Hydro Power Limited (KHPL), a Bhutanese hydropower project.
Could you elaborate how it would help in increase in their revenue / profit?
I am holder of tata power stock. Hence curious to know
Thanks
Successful execution of the said project will surely help the company but investment decisions should not be dependent on a particular company update.
Few of my takeaways from Q1 FY25 of Tata Power
.
Tata Power continues to demonstrate strong momentum, reporting its 19th consecutive quarter of growth. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on Indiaโs robust power demand, which grew 11% in Q1. Tata Powerโs diversified portfolio across generation, transmission, distribution and renewables provides multiple avenues for expansion.
๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ญ:
The company is making significant strides in renewable energy, with 8 GW of projects under implementation. Tata Power is shifting focus towards more complex hybrid and round-the-clock renewable projects, which offer better returns. The 4 GW solar cell and module manufacturing plant is ramping up, with full capacity expected by Q3.
A notable new initiative is the 600 MW hydro project in Bhutan, marking Tata Powerโs entry into cross-border power. The company is also exploring opportunities in small modular nuclear reactors, though details are still emerging.
๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ข๐๐ฌ:
Decarbonization remains a key theme, with Tata Power supporting group company Tata Steelโs clean energy transition through large hybrid projects. The rooftop solar segment is seeing a massive uptick in inquiries, potentially 10x higher than last year, driven by government incentives.
๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ:
The governmentโs focus on renewable energy, especially the PM Surya Ghar rooftop solar program, provides a significant growth runway. Support for pumped hydro storage projects aligns well with Tata Powerโs initiatives in this space. Duty reductions on green energy equipment will benefit the sector.
๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ:
Transmission infrastructure constraints could potentially limit the pace of renewable capacity additions in the medium term. Land acquisition for large projects remains an ongoing challenge.
๐๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ/๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ:
There were questions about the slow growth in the renewable project pipeline. Management clarified this was a deliberate strategy to focus on executing the existing 8 GW portfolio before bidding aggressively for new projects, especially given transmission constraints.
๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐:
While the rooftop solar space is seeing increased competition, Tata Power believes its brand, quality, and market access give it a 50-60% market share in the quality-focused segment. In utility-scale renewables, the company is shifting towards more complex projects to maintain an edge.
๐ ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ:
Tata Power plans to invest INR 20,000 crore in FY25, with 55-60% allocated to renewables. The company aims to commission over 3 GW of renewable capacity (own + EPC) in FY25 and over 4 GW in FY26.
๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ:
The capex mix reflects Tata Powerโs strategic priorities - 55-60% in renewables, 30% in T&D, and 10-15% in thermal and new initiatives like pumped hydro. Despite the aggressive investment plan, the company maintains a stable balance sheet with net debt/EBITDA below 3x.
๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ & ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ:
The massive opportunity in rooftop solar and potential distribution privatization in some states present significant growth avenues. However, execution risks in large projects and potential delays in transmission infrastructure development could impact growth trajectory.
๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐:
Recent policy initiatives like support for pumped hydro and small modular reactors are favorable. The continuation of Section 11 (mandating coal-based plants to operate) until October provides near-term stability for thermal assets.
๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐:
Strong demand growth and increased inquiries for rooftop solar installations indicate positive customer sentiment. Tata Powerโs focus on quality and long-term reliability in the rooftop segment seems to resonate with customers.

India urgently needs privatization of its DISCOMs!
90% of Indiaโs power distribution, controlled by respective state governments, has now become a breeding ground for inefficiencies. The accumulated losses stand at INR 6.5 lakh crore as of FY23, which is well over 20% of Indiaโs central budgeted annual revenue. Reasons?
- ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: Issues in power procurement, billing, and collection practices
- ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ: Rising cost due to higher interest rates, rising power demand, and the cost of imported coal
- ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ: Delayed consumer payments, leading to insufficient cash income, preventing timely payments to energy generators
- ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ: Many times insufficient tariffs can contribute to losses
- ๐๐ก๐๐๐ญ: High levels of theft can contribute to losses
One of the only state to have privatized its power distribution is Odisha where 51% stake was taken over by TATA Power, which has swung back to profits and demand continuing to rise 20% YoY due to effective & efficient service. Similar is the case of Delhi which has seen minimal outrage this year despite demand hitting new high in summers. There too, it was Tata Power who played the key role!
