Rooftop Solar business and the newly commissioned
4.3 GW manufacturing facility, and a fire insurance claim settlement
for Trombay Thermal Plant (Unit 5) These gains were partially offset by a lower dividend
from ITPC, regulatory upside in Maithon Power Limited (MPL) and Jojobera in previous year,
and a lower depreciation entitlement in MPL.
Profits from Joint Ventures (JVs) and Associates declined, primarily on
account of lower earnings from Indonesian coal mines, driven by reduced coal prices and
losses incurred by Tata Projects Limited during the year, compared to the profit earned in
the previous year.
The Consolidated Profit after tax in FY25 was at 4,775 crore compared
to Rs. 4,280 crore in FY24 contributed by an improved performance across all businesses
partly offset by an exceptional loss of Rs. 440 crore in the current year towards merger
impact and additional non cash impairment charge of Rs. 44 crore on goodwill and property,
plant & equipment related to Renewable companies, and a lower Deemed dilution gain on
Tata Projects Limited of Rs. 73 crore.
2.2 Standalone
The Operating Revenue was at Rs. 21,288 crore in FY25 compared to Rs.
20,297 crore in FY24 on a standalone basis mainly due to the Mundra Plant being fully
operated under MoP guidelines and regulatory upside in Mumbai Distribution and
Mumbai Thermal business segment.
The Profit after tax in FY25 was 3,133 crore as compared to Rs. 2,230
crore in FY 24. The increase was mainly due to higher dividend income, regulatory upside
in Thermal business, and an improved performance across all businesses.
