JSW Energy Q4 Profit Jumps 22%

JSW Energy saw its consolidated net profit jump by 22.4% year-on-year to Rs 3.5 billion (bn) in the March quarter, driven by strong performances from its thermal energy portfolio and a surge in the short-term market.

The revenue from operations of the Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group's power utility rose to Rs 27.6 bn in Q4 FY24 from Rs 26.7 bn a year earlier.

For the fourth quarter, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) increased 47% to Rs 12.9 bn. The EBITDA margin was 45% compared to 31% during the same quarter last year.

Separately, the board recommended a dividend of Rs 2.0 per share subject to approval of the shareholders.
