The power company’s revenue is expected to surge by 10.7 per cent to Rs 13,234 crore compared with the year-ago period. The company is likely to report earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) at Rs 1,890 crore against Rs 1868.59 crore in the previous quarter. On a YoY basis, EBITDA may rise by 1.1 per cent.

The company's margin — a key measure of profitability for a business — is likely to decline by 130 basis points to 14.3 per cent. Business earnings could grow on the back of better renewable and coal businesses.
