EBITDA for the reporting quarter more than doubled to Rs 5,059 crore against Rs 1,996 crore in the same quarter last year. Continuing EBITDA jumped 242% to Rs 5,059 crore. Growth in continuing EBITDA was mainly a result of a lower increase in fuel cost compared to growth in revenues, primarily due to lower import fuel prices and alternate fuel costs.

“Adani Power continues to demonstrate its leadership across domains by achieving ever-higher standards of excellence, as evidenced by the financial results for the third quarter of FY24,” said S B Khyalia, CEO of Adani Power.
During the third quarter as well as the nine months of FY24, the company said higher volumes were contributed by the Mundra, Udupi, Raipur, and Mahan plants apart from the incremental contribution of the Godda power plant, which has quickly become an important part of the power supply ecosystem of Bangladesh.
Domestic power sales volumes were driven by growing power demand across India and offtake under power purchase agreements (PPAs) was further supported by falling prices of imported coal and alternate fuel.
