Power and energy major Tata Power on Wednesday reported a 25% dip in its consolidated net profit (attributable to equity holders of the company) at ₹772 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The company had reported a net profit of ₹1,030.70 crore during the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal (Q3 FY25).
The company's revenue from operations also saw a 9.4% decline, falling from ₹15,391 crore in Q3 FY25 to ₹13,948 crore in Q3 FY26. During the quarter under review, Tata Power reported an EBITDA of ₹3,055.30 crore, down 8.9% from the ₹3,352.90 crore reported during Q3 FY25.
Impact of exceptional items and demand
The decline in the headline profit was partially attributed to one-time exceptional expenses. Tata Power recorded a charge of ₹78 crore during the quarter due to the implementation of the new labour codes. Additionally, the company noted that power demand remained relatively flat during the quarter, against a 7% year-on-year jump seen in the same period last year.
