The announcement details strong financial results, significant operational achievements in the energy sector, progress on major expansion projects, and a strengthened balance sheet (net debt-free status). These are material factors that significantly impact the company's valuation and future prospects.
The company reported record quarterly EBITDA and PAT, demonstrating strong operational performance and growth, especially in the energy segment. Being net debt-free and having a robust liquidity position further strengthens the positive outlook.
Sarda Energy & Minerals Limited reported a robust Q1 FY27 performance, with the highest ever quarterly EBITDA of ₹762 crore and PAT of ₹478 crore, marking a 9.4% year-on-year growth. The total income stood at ₹1,717 crore. This performance was achieved despite planned maintenance shutdowns, unplanned outages, and seasonal factors.
The energy business was the primary growth driver, contributing nearly 70% of the consolidated EBITDA. The company has secured medium and long-term power supply agreements for over 380 megawatts out of its total 710-megawatt saleable capacity, enhancing revenue visibility and earnings stability.
Operations at the 600-megawatt thermal power plant remained steady with an average Plant Load Factor (PLF) of 85.9%. Hydropower generation was impacted by delayed monsoon but is expected to improve in Q2. The 113-megawatt Sikkim hydropower project, which was temporarily shut due to a transmission tower collapse, has resumed full operations.
On the metals front, iron ore pellet production supported performance, but revenue for steel and ferro alloys segments declined quarter-on-quarter due to planned outages for power plant unit replacement and refurbishments. The new 30-megawatt power plant unit is expected to commence stable commercial operations by mid-August.
Expansion initiatives are progressing as planned. The regulatory approval for expanding thermal power capacity at SKS from 600 to 1,200 megawatts is on track. Approval for three small hydro projects in Chhattisgarh is also progressing. Commissioning of the 50-megawatt captive solar project is delayed to before the end of the next quarter due to right-of-way issues. The recently acquired 66-megawatt hydropower project in Arunachal Pradesh is also advancing with key approvals in hand.
Mining development for the Shahpur West coal mine is on schedule for commissioning before the end of FY27. Bartunga Hill coal mine is expected to open by the end of the next financial year, and regulatory approvals for Gare Palma IV/5 and Senduri coal blocks are progressing.
The company is investing approximately ₹300 crore in sustainability initiatives, including a waste heat recovery power plant at Vizag. Sarda Energy & Minerals is now net debt-free on both standalone and consolidated bases, with liquidity exceeding ₹2,500 crore as of June 30, 2026.
The Q1 PAT of ₹478 crore included a one-time net benefit of ₹110 crore related to the regulatory approval of the final project cost for the 113-megawatt Sikkim hydropower plant. Excluding this one-off benefit, the adjusted EBITDA was ₹762 crore and adjusted PAT was ₹368 crore.
