Shares of Tata Power are in focus today after the company reported itsQ4 FY26 results.
Revenue from operations fell around 13% YoY to Rs 14.9 billion (bn), while total expenses declined 8%.
Consolidated net profit for Tata Power declined to Rs 1.0 bn from Rs 1.04 bn a year earlier, primarily due to a 39% drop in profit from the hydro and thermal power segments.
The company's 4 GW imported coal-fired plant in Gujarat, which had remained shut since August last year after the government withdrew emergency compensation for power generated using costly imported coal, resumed operations in April.
Domestic coal continued to remain a more economical option as disruptions in liquefied natural gas supplies and lower gas-based power generation are expected to increase dependence on coal-fired power generation.
Shares of Torrent Power came into focus after the company reported its Q4 FY26 results.
Revenue from operations slipped 0.8% YoY to Rs 64.1 bn from Rs 64.6 bn.

On a sequential basis, profit surged almost fivefold from Rs 0.10 bn in Q3FY26.
