"For Tata Power, Odisha discoms have continued to post better than expected performance. At present, TP CODL, TPSODL, TP WODL, and TPNODL have AT&C losses of 25 per cent, 27 per cent, 22 per cent, and 17 per cent respectively, which are expected to narrow. For TPSL the current order backlog of Rs 15999 crore should sustain executions but margins have been volatile. Growth will receive a boost by the newly commissioned cell and module plants," it said.
Tata Power shares are down 9.47 per cent in 2025 so far and 18.31 per cent in the past six months.
MOFSL, however, sees adjusted PAT falling 8 per cent YoY, primarily due to the absence of dividend income from ITPC and potentially lower profitability from its joint ventures and associates. It sees Tata Power's Q3 profit at Rs 876 crore and sales at Rs 21,417 crore.
"For Tata Power, we estimate 45 per cent YoY EBITDA growth, driven by a rising earnings contribution from its cell and module manufacturing facility, healthy Mundra PLFs given the continuation of Section XI for coal plants, steady performance from Odisha distribution business, and an additional ~800MW RE capacity on a YoY basis," said MOFSL.
