Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited submitted its 41st annual report for FY26 to stock exchanges on August 24, 2026. The company reported a net profit of ₹4,024 crore for the year ended March 31, 2026, up from ₹2,114 crore in the previous year. The Board has scheduled the 41st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 19, 2026.

The substantial increase in profitability was primarily driven by non-recurring tax benefits arising from the transition to the new concessional corporate tax regime effective April 1, 2026. This included a re-measurement of deferred tax liabilities and the recognition of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit entitlements.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations rose 18.7% year-on-year to ₹14,911 crore from ₹12,563 crore in FY25. Operating profit increased to ₹5,378 crore from ₹4,061 crore. Profit before tax stood at ₹2,447 crore, lower than the previous year's ₹2,730 crore, reflecting higher operational costs and finance expenses before tax adjustments.

Finance costs increased significantly to ₹1,107 crore from ₹319 crore, largely due to term loans disbursed for newly commissioned renewable energy projects, including the 600 MW solar plant at Khavda and the 75 MW solar plant at Vastan.

Dividend and AGM Details

The Board recommended a dividend of ₹4.10 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the 41st AGM scheduled for September 19, 2026. The meeting will be held through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM) at 11:30 am. Shareholders holding equity shares on the record date of September 11, 2026, will be eligible for the payout.

The register of members and share transfer books will remain closed from September 12, 2026, to September 19, 2026. Remote e-voting will commence on September 16, 2026, at 9:00 am and conclude on September 18, 2026, at 5:00 pm. Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) is facilitating the e-voting process.

Members not liable to pay income tax must submit a declaration by September 10, 2026, to avail the benefit of non-deduction of tax at source on dividends.

Operational Highlights

The Surat Lignite Power Plant (SLPP) Phase-I generated 1,546.68 million units with a plant load factor of 70.62%. Phase-II generated 1,638.91 million units with a PLF of 74.84%. Renewable energy assets also saw expansion, with the commissioning of the 600 MW solar project at Khavda in phases between June and December 2025.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the decline in profit before tax (-10.4%) and the surge in net profit (+90.3%) highlights that the improved bottom line was not operational but structural. The ₹2,603 crore credit from the impact of the transition to the new tax regime accounted for more than half of the reported net profit, indicating that core operating profitability faced pressure from rising finance costs despite revenue growth.

Gujarat Industries Power Company filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 with stock exchanges on August 24, 2026. The filing discloses a turnover of ₹14,911.2 crore and a net worth of ₹38,402.3 crore as of March 31, 2026.

The company reported that 99.02% of its capital expenditure was directed toward renewable energy infrastructure, primarily solar assets. This investment aligns with its strategy to expand renewable generation capacity, including the commissioning of two new solar plants adding 675 MW during the year.

What the Numbers Show

Gujarat Industries Power maintains high customer concentration, with 92.32% of sales made to related parties in FY26, down slightly from 93.21% in FY25. This indicates a continued heavy reliance on Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) as the primary off-taker for its electricity generation.

Operational Efficiency

The company improved its energy intensity metrics in FY26. Energy intensity per rupee of turnover fell to 0.25 Tera Joules, compared to 0.30 in the previous year. Similarly, water intensity per rupee of turnover decreased to 36.70 kilolitres from 45.58. Total energy consumption rose to 37,563.76 Tera Joules, driven by increased fuel consumption of 35,918.35 Tera Joules from non-renewable sources.

Environmental Impact

Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) totaled 39,15,860 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent in FY26. Scope 1 emissions were 36,13,802.60 metric tonnes, while Scope 2 emissions stood at 3,02,057.79 metric tonnes. Emission intensity per rupee of turnover declined to 26.26 metric tonnes from 31.11 in FY25.

The company generated 12,25,116.05 metric tonnes of waste, primarily fly ash (2,95,165.07 metric tonnes) and other non-hazardous waste (9,29,912.00 metric tonnes). It achieved 100% utilization of fly ash by selling it to real estate companies for green cement production.

Governance and Safety

Gujarat Industries Power reported zero safety-related incidents and zero fatalities across all operations in FY26. The company holds ISO certifications for quality, environmental, occupational health, and energy management systems. No fines or penalties were levied by regulatory agencies during the period.
