On Monday( Jan 29 2024), Adani Green Energy Ltd. announced a consolidated net profit of Rs. 256 crore for the quarter ending December 2023. This represents a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 148.5 percent. At the same time last year, the Adani Group’s bottom line was Rs. 103 crore.

In the third quarter of the current fiscal year, its income from operations increased by 40% year-on-year to Rs. 1,765 crore, from Rs. 1,258 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

With an EBITDA margin of 92%, the quarter’s EBITDA increased by 40% year-on-year to Rs 1,638 crore. For the nine months ending December 31, 2023, the company’s cash profit was 862 crore, an increase of 58% year-on-year, and run-rate EBITDA was a solid 7,806 crore.

The capacity utilisation factor (CUF) increase and the installation of 1,154 MW of capacity in the last year are the main drivers of the strong rise in revenue, EBITDA, and cash profit. The consistently strong EBITDA margin results from its best-in-class operations and maintenance (O&M) procedures, which allow it to generate more power at lower O&M costs. It also brings down the Adani case controversy.
