Revenue
- Revenue from operations: ₹6,819.28 crore
- YoY Growth: 27%
- Previous Year Revenue: ₹5,378.55 crore
The revenue growth was led by a robust performance in transmission and distribution (T&D), along with increased contributions from the smart meter and EPC businesses.
EBITDA
- EBITDA: ₹2,017 crore
- YoY Growth: 14.47%
- Previous Year EBITDA: ₹1,762 crore
The rise in EBITDA was supported by gains in T&D and higher income from smart meter installations.
EBITDA Margins
- Current EBITDA Margin: 29.6%
- Previous Year Margin: 32%
Margins came under pressure due to specific factors in the Mumbai distribution business, including higher depreciation linked to the Dahanu carve-out and lower capitalization despite a capex of ₹341 crore.

- Q1 FY25 Net Loss: ₹1,190.66 crore

The absence of exceptional losses this quarter helped the company swing back into profitability.
