What the company informed the exchanges

The company has added 1,694 MW of installed generation capacity since April 2026, including about 1.4 GW of renewable capacity. With this, total installed capacity stands at 15,147 MW.

Where the new capacity came from

• 593 MW of solar
• 108 MW of wind
• 542 MW of hybrid
• 150 MW of hydro
• 300 MW of inorganic thermal capacity of Maruti Clean Coal & Power Ltd

How the operational portfolio looks now

• Renewable energy is about 61% of the operational portfolio, at 9,189 MW
• Within renewables: 3,125 MW wind, 2,426 MW solar, 1,857 MW hybrid and 1,781 MW hydro
• Thermal portfolio: 5,958 MW

Progress against the stated target

• The company's FY27 renewable capacity addition target is 3 GW
• It states it has already delivered approximately 46% of that targeted capacity
• The CEO's comment notes 1.4 GW of renewable capacity commissioned in the first half of FY27, with the balance 1.6 GW to be delivered during the year, and says land, transmission connectivity and equipment supply for the remaining capacity are already in place

What else the release sets out

• Total locked-in generation capacity of 32.4 GW, comprising 15.1 GW operational and 14.5 GW under construction across thermal, hydro and renewables, plus a pipeline of 2.8 GW
• Locked-in energy storage capacity of 29.6 GWh, comprising 26.4 GWh of pumped hydro storage and 3.2 GWh of battery energy storage
• Stated targets of 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050

How a reader can look at it

• The update is a progress report on capacity build-out: it shows how much has been added this financial year and how the operational fleet is now split between renewables and thermal
• It also gives the company's own measure of progress against its FY27 addition target and restates longer-term capacity and storage goals
• The release includes forward-looking statements, which the company notes involve risks and uncertainties, so the stated targets and the CEO's comments about the balance capacity are projections rather than completed events

What to keep in mind

• The figures here are about installed and locked-in capacity, which describes the size of the generation fleet and project pipeline, not the electricity actually generated or sold in the period
