Vedanta Power Limited reported a 38% year-on-year increase in power sales to 5,225 million units for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The performance reflects the company's operational scale following its demerger from Vedanta Limited during the quarter. Meenakshi Energy Ltd drove the growth with sales rising 245% year-on-year to 1,350 million units, supported by full operational capacity of 1,000 MW.
The Talwandi Sabo Thermal Plant (TSTP) recorded sales of 2,723 million units, flat compared to the prior year, while its Plant Availability Factor (PAF) improved sequentially from 77% to 86%. This availability exceeded the 80% normative level required under its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Punjab State Government. Jharsuguda Thermal Plant achieved a PAF of 93%, up from 66% in the same period last year, with sales increasing 1% to 687 million units.
Sakti Thermal Plant, formerly known as Athena Power Plant, faced operational challenges during the quarter. Sales declined to 465 million units following a boiler blast in Unit-I on April 14, which forced a temporary shutdown. Consequently, the plant's sales dropped 57% sequentially from the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Key Factors
Vedanta Power Limited was demerged from Vedanta Limited during 1QFY27. The reported figures include both pre- and post-demerger periods. The comparison with prior periods accounts for the expanded capacity base at Meenakshi Energy, where only a single 300 MW unit was operational in Q1 FY26. The decline in power sales at Sakti Thermal Plant was attributed to reduced plant availability due to the boiler incident.
