The company, which was recently carved out of diversified conglomerate Vedanta Resources Ltd as an independent entity, said 74% of its power sales were secured under long-term and medium-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Punjab and Odisha. It also has a 500 MW contract with Tamil Nadu and a recently secured 100 MW contract with Kerala.

“Our maiden quarter as a standalone listed company marks an important milestone for Vedanta Power. Strong revenue and power sales, backed by operational excellence, fuel security, improved credit ratings and sustainability initiatives, demonstrate the resilience of our business and future readiness,” Vedanta Power Chief Executive Officer Rajinder Singh Ahuja said in a statement.

Vedanta Power Chief Financial Officer Pankaj Jha said the company's first-quarter performance reflected the resilience of its diversified business model and added that it remained well positioned to support its growth pipeline and create sustainable stakeholder value.

Vedanta Power shares were listed on the BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) last month, with the June quarter marking its first set of results as an independently listed entity. The listing ceremony on June 15 was led by Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Agarwal.

The company had earlier said it was evaluating a foray into hydro, battery storage and nuclear energy as part of its long-term diversification strategy. It said nuclear energy is a clean, reliable round-the-clock power source and a key enabler of India's energy transition.

The listing marks an important inflection point for Vedanta Power as a focused, independent business built on a strong operational foundation and positioned to support India's growing energy demand, the company said.

Vedanta Power plans to scale its capacity to 20 GW, with a long-term ambition to become one of the top three private-sector power companies in the country. It expects to commission the second 600 MW unit at its Sakti plant in the second half of FY27 and increase its total capacity to 12 GW by FY33.
