Adani Green Energy Solutions Ltd on Tuesday (October 22) reported a 38.8% year-on-year (YoY) jump in net profit at Rs 5.2 bn for the second quarter that ended 30 September 2024.
In the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, Adani Green Energy Solutions posted a net profit of Rs 3.7 bn, the company said in a regulatory filing.
The company's revenue from operations surged 27.6% to Rs 30.6 bn against Rs 22.2 bn in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal.
At the operating level, EBITDA increased 24.8% to Rs 22.7 bn in the second quarter of this fiscal over Rs 18.2 bn in the year-ago period.
The EBITDA margin stood at 74.4% in the reporting quarter versus 82% in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal. EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation.
Adani Green's operational capacity grew by 34% YoY to 11,184 MW in Q2, driven by the greenfield addition of 2,868 MW of power plants.
Energy sales increased by 20% YoY to 14,128 million units in H1 FY25, reflecting the impact of robust capacity expansion.
The company has shown steady growth in energy generation at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49% over the past four years, with an increasing contribution from merchant power.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Tuesday published the 48-page detailed order approving the mega media assets merger of Reliance Industries-promoted Viacom18 and Walt Disney-owned Star India, entailing various conditions, including divestment of seven TV channels.
As part of seeking the regulator's approval, the parties have voluntarily agreed that they will not bundle TV ad slots for IPL, ICC and BCCI cricketing rights till the end of existing rights.
Also, the parties will sell seven TV channels, including Hungama and Super Hungama.
Among other conditions, the companies have voluntarily agreed that they will not bundle together the TV ad slot sales for all three cricketing rights available with them -- IPL, ICC and BCCI -- for the remaining tenure of the existing rights.
The parties have given an undertaking that they will not increase the advertisement rates to an unreasonable level on their TV and streaming platforms for the ICC and IPL events till the current rights are held by them.
The merger was approved in August, three months after they filed for it, paving the way for the creation of the country's largest media and entertainment firm.
CCI had then said that the approval is subject to compliance with voluntary modifications to the merger scheme.
RIL will control the merged entity, with a 56% stake. Disney will own 37% of the combined firm, while Bodhi Tree Systems will have the remaining 7% stake.
Food delivery company Zomato on Tuesday reported 389% growth in its consolidated net profit at Rs 1.8 bn in the second quarter, compared with Rs 360 m a year ago. However, the PAT missed the Street estimate of Rs 2.6 bn
