Prabhakaran, sir, CFO; and Mr. Bikash Chowdhury sir, Head Investor Relations and ERM, along

Now, I will hand over the call to Sharad, sir, for his opening remarks, after which we will open

opportunity to host the call. Over to you, sir.
Sharad Mahendra: Thank you, Sudhanshu. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for JSW
Energy's Q1 FY27 earnings call. I hope you and your families are keeping well.
We've started FY27 on an exceptionally strong note, and I'm delighted to share some key
highlights.
Q1 FY27 has been a landmark quarter for JSW Energy. We delivered one of the largest single-
quarter capacity additions in our history — and among the highest in the sector — adding 873
MW during the quarter, taking cumulative additions to about
1.1 GW - till date. Of this, all but 150 MW came through organic capacity addition. The 150
MW was driven by the early commissioning of Tidong Hydro, originally scheduled for October
2026, which contributed an incremental ₹20-22 Crore to EBITDA in Q1 itself and will allow us
to capture the ongoing hydrology season. Acquired only in January 2026, this pace of
commissioning is a testament to the integration capabilities our teams bring to every acquisition.
This momentum has carried firmly into Q2. In July till date, we have already added about 225
MW of organic renewable energy capacity, taking our total capacity additions since April 2026
till date to approximately 1.1 GW, as I said earlier. For further details, please refer to Slide 7 of
our Results Presentation.
We remain firmly on track to deliver our FY27 annual target of 3 GW capacity addition and
₹20,000 crore capex — having already achieved close to 36% of the FY27 capacity guidance,
and surpassed about 87% of the total capacity added in all of FY26. You may kindly refer Slide
Another significant milestone in our journey was the deleveraging achieved through the
successful execution of a ₹10,150 crore capital raise in the recent past — the largest growth
capital raise in the Indian power sector. This was accomplished by a combination of strategies,
reflecting strong market confidence in JSW Energy's growth story.
This comprised three components. First, a preferential allotment to promoters of ₹3,000 crore,
of which ₹1,125 crore has already been received, with the balance to come in before June 2027.
Second, a partial stake sale in JSW Steel, monetizing 2.5 crore shares out of our 7 crore share
holding, worth ₹3,150 crore. And third, a QIP of ₹4,000 crore, anchored by marquee global and
domestic institutional investors.
Together, this gives us an ample liquidity cushion of about ₹12,880 crore in cash balances,
comfortably funding the equity portion of our estimated ₹20,000 crore FY27 capex and 2030
growth plans, with headroom for further growth.

Our balance sheet discipline continues to strengthen, with net operating leverage on a trailing-
twelve-month basis improving to 4.95x, from approximately 5.2x in FY26, even as we scale up
our growth investments. By year 2030, we are committed to have our net leverage below 5 times.
Further, I am also pleased to share that, as a reflection of our strong green focus and long-term
commitment to carbon neutrality, our expanding renewable portfolio enabled us to avoid
approximately 16-17 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions in the fiscal 2026 and about 4.5 million
tonnes in Q1FY27, based on the prevailing Indian grid emission factor.
Now, before I get into our detailed quarter 1 performance, let me share a few sector observations.
India's power sector delivered a strong start to FY27, with Q1 demand growing 8.5% year-on-
year — a sharp turnaround from the muted 0.9% growth in FY26. This strength was broad-
based, driven primarily by prolonged heatwaves, delayed monsoon progression, and higher
cooling-appliance usage, pushing up residential and commercial consumption. The momentum
has carried into July as well, with the month-till-date demand growth being robust at about 12%.
Peak power demand touched 271 GW in May, already surpassing FY26's full-year peak of 245
GW. On July 16th, we saw another peak of 270 GW, and demand is expected to touch 300 GW
in the near term.
We view this as early validation of the medium-term structural story we have consistently
articulated: India's industrialisation, urbanisation, and rising per capita consumption underpin a
clear 5–6% long-term CAGR in power demand.
Additionally, the ongoing crisis in West Asia underscores the strategic importance of India's
energy self-sufficiency agenda under Atmanirbhar Bharat — further strengthening the case for
accelerated electrification and sustained long-term demand growth. India's growing global
economic stature — contributing approximately 8% of world GDP on a PPP-adjusted basis —
coupled with its continued high GDP growth outlook, should support sustained power demand
growth.
On the merchant market, this improving demand backdrop is now clearly visible. DAM prices,
which averaged around ₹3.86 p
