Mixed: execution and TBCB order wins are strong, but consolidated PAT is flat-to-down and margins compressed on higher interest and operating costs. quarter Investor Presentation One-Pager? Jun 2026
Revenue
₹11,697 Cr
Consolidated total income, +2% YoY (₹11,444 Cr in Q1FY26)
EBITDA Margin
81.9%
Consolidated EBITDA-Gross Margin / total income; -135 bps YoY on opex +13%
PAT

Consolidated PAT, -1% YoY; standalone PAT down 7% to ₹3,411 Cr
Key Metric
₹5,277 Cr
Capitalization in Q1FY27 vs ₹1,683 Cr in Q1FY26, +214% YoY
What Went Right
  • Capitalization surged to ₹5,277 Cr in Q1FY27 from ₹1,683 Cr in Q1FY26, +214% YoY.
  • Capex reached ₹7,765 Cr in Q1FY27, +11% YoY versus ₹6,981 Cr, tracking the ₹37,000 Cr FY27 target.
  • POWERGRID won 6 of 19 TBCB projects bid in FY27 (till Jul'26), with >₹2,200 Cr annual tariff, including India's first SynCon TBCB scheme.
  • Works in hand stood at ~₹1,75,700 Cr (TBCB ₹1,46,315 Cr; RTM ₹25,168 Cr; other ₹4,217 Cr), with a further bidding pipeline of >₹1,19,495 Cr.
  • Billing of ₹10,963 Cr was met by ₹11,404 Cr realization, a 104.03% collection rate; system availability held at 99.80%.
What to Watch
  • Consolidated PAT fell to ₹3,598 Cr from ₹3,631 Cr (-1% YoY) despite 2% revenue growth; standalone PAT dropped 7% YoY to ₹3,411 Cr.
  • Interest expense rose 7% YoY on consolidated basis to ₹1,990 Cr and 11% YoY standalone to ₹2,482 Cr, while total debt climbed 11% YoY to ₹1,45,586 Cr.
  • EBITDA margin contracted ~135 bps YoY to 81.9% as operating expenses increased 13% YoY.
  • Core standalone transmission charges declined 1% YoY to ₹9,630 Cr, indicating that heavy capitalization is not yet converting into revenue.
  • Telecom income fell 19% YoY to ₹201 Cr and other income fell 19% to ₹200 Cr; non-transmission income remains weak.
Management Guidance
  • FY27 CAPEX guidance: ₹37,000 crore
  • FY27 CAPITALIZATION guidance: ₹30,000 crore
Investor Lens
The long-term thesis remains intact given ₹1.75 lakh crore of works in hand, a >₹1.19 lakh crore bidding pipeline, and strong TBCB execution. But near-term financials are stretched: revenue growth is only 2%, PAT is flat-to-down, and interest costs are rising faster than income. The 214% YoY jump in capitalization is positive, but standalone transmission charges fell 1% YoY, so tariff recognition is lagging asset additions. Margin compression of ~135 bps YoY on higher operating expenses also needs monitoring. Next quarter, watch whether capex and capitalization continue at the pace needed to meet the ₹37,000/₹30,000 crore FY27 guidance, and whether transmission charges start reflecting the new asset base. Rising debt and weak telecom/other income are the key negatives to monitor.

📊 MIXED Steady revenue growth but PAT dips 0.9% YoY; OPM expands to 82%
Revenue
Revenue grew 2.7% YoY to ₹11,497 crore, reflecting stable core transmission income. Sequentially, revenue declined 1.4% from ₹11,663 crore in Mar 2026.
Profitability
Net profit fell 0.9% YoY to ₹3,598 crore, with EPS at ₹3.87 versus ₹3.90 last year. On a QoQ basis, PAT dropped sharply by 20.9% due to higher interest and depreciation costs.
Margins
Operating margin improved to 82% from 81% YoY, indicating efficient cost management. The reported QoQ margin of 45% appears inconsistent with operating profit of ₹9,430 crore, likely a data anomaly.
Balance Sheet
Debt-to-equity stands at 1.47, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of transmission assets. ROCE is 9.74% while ROE is 16.5%, showing reasonable returns despite high leverage.
Key Risks
Interest costs of ₹2,023 crore and depreciation of ₹3,128 crore continue to weigh on net profit. The 20.9% QoQ PAT decline highlights earnings volatility. High leverage (D/E 1.47) increases sensitivity to rate changes.
Outlook
Revenue growth is likely to remain modest, supported by tariff regulation and new project commissioning. However, rising interest and depreciation expenses may keep PAT growth subdued in coming quarters.
