The Q2 FY26 Adjusted PAT was up 21 per cent (year-on-year) at Rs 557 crore, owing to a one-time positive impact of deferred tax of Rs 314 crore in Q2 FY25.

EBITDA during the first half of this fiscal (H1 FY26) increased by 13 per cent to a record high of Rs 4,144 crore and to Rs 2,126 crore in Q2 FY26, up 12 per cent YoY, driven by steady performance in the transmission and distribution segment and rising contribution from the smart metering business segment, the Adani Group company said in an exchange filing.

“In terms of growth outlook, the sector continues to offer significant growth opportunities due to focused energy transition backed by regulatory stability and reforms. We anticipate a significant increase in AESL’s capex roll-out across all core segments and expect strong momentum in the bid activity during the rest of the year,” Patel noted.
