The Tata Group company said the strong performance was due to better realisation in the core business segments comprising power generation, transmission, distribution and renewables.

The clean and green portfolio now stands at around 6.7 GW installed and a pipeline of 10 GW, which will take the total portfolio to over 16.7 GW.
With close to 2.5 GW of rooftop installations nationwide, the Company has advanced its #GharGharSolar initiative to Tamil Nadu, building on the success in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Chhattisgarh.
With capex investments of Rs 3,000+ crore in the first 9 months of FY25, the Transmission & Distribution business reported 7 per cent growth in net profit to Rs 370 crore in Q3FY25 and 32 per cent to Rs 1384 crore in the nine months of the financial year, according to the company statement.

"We have emerged as a clean energy leader with a presence across the full value chain of manufacturing, EPC, and development of renewable projects along with retail supply through group captives. As an integrated power company, we offer complete energy services towards our portfolio of generation, transmission and distribution solutions to provide affordable power for all," Sinha added.
