The total expenses decreased to Rs 44.86 billion for the quarter, down from Rs 46.03 billion the previous year.

Earnings per share (EPS) rose to Rs 5.87 in Q1 FY25, compared to Rs 4.39 in Q1 FY24.

Manoj Kumar Jhawar, Chairman and Managing Director (Addl Charge) and Director (Commercial & Operation) of PTC India, noted that unusual changes in demand patterns, partly due to extreme weather conditions during the quarter, resulted in high electricity demand and mismatches. He remarked that the flat trading volume achieved in this context reflects the balanced portfolio composition of the company.
