Vedanta Power Limited released its production numbers for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Context given in the release

The company was demerged from Vedanta Limited during 1QFY27, so the quarter includes both pre- and post-demerger periods, and the release says comparisons with prior periods should be viewed accordingly. It also notes that in the first quarter of FY26 Meenakshi operated a single 300 MW unit, and that with full capacity (1,000 MW) operational, Q4 FY26 and H1 FY27 are presented on the expanded capacity base.

What the company highlighted

The release opens with "Record Sales Momentum at Vedanta Power: Q2 Sales Up 26% YoY to 5,593 Million Units, taking H1 Sales to a record 10,817 Million Units (+32% YoY)". It separately flags Meenakshi Energy's Q2 sales at 1,470 million Units, up 111% YoY and 9% QoQ, and Jharsuguda's Q2 sales at 873 million Units, up 186% YoY and 27% QoQ. Jharsuguda's Plant Availability Factor improved to 98% in Q2 FY27 compared with 43% in Q2 FY26.

Two operational points the release explains

• The TSTP PPA with the Punjab State Government compensates based on normative plant availability at 80%, and TSTP's availability for H1 stood well above 83%.
• The decline in power sales at Sakti Thermal Plant was primarily due to reduced plant availability following a boiler incident on April 14. The plant, formerly known as Athena Power Plant, is temporarily shut down since 14th April 2026 after the boiler blast in unit-I.

Scale of operations

The release states current installed capacity of 4.2 GW, with an additional 0.6 GW Shakti U2 under project phase, and lists a 1,980 MW plant in Mansa, Punjab; a 1,000 MW facility in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh; 1200 MW in Sakti, Chhattisgarh; and a 600 MW unit in Jharsuguda, Odisha.
