Torrent Power Q1 Hit by Low Demand, Gas Prices
06 Aug 2025 CW Team
Torrent Power Limited has announced its financial results for the quarter ended 30 June 2025. While the company’s core operations remain robust, performance this quarter was adversely affected by reduced power demand following the early arrival of the monsoon and high gas prices, which curtailed merchant earnings from gas-based generation.
Adjusted for these headwinds, Torrent’s total comprehensive income (TCI) remained largely in line with the same quarter last year.
Key contributors to the performance included:
- Higher contribution from the renewable energy segment, driven by new solar capacity and improved wind conditions, which enhanced plant load factors (PLF).
- In the distribution business, profitability rose due to improved operational metrics, even after adjusting for one-time tariff order income recorded in the previous year.
