Power Grid Corp’s Consolidated Net Sales Slip to ₹11,665.61 cr in FY 2025‑26, Down 4.97% YoY

Power Grid Corp posts near‑5% drop in FY 2025‑26 net sales

The Indian transmission giant’s net sales fell to ₹11,665.61 crore for the year ending March 2026, marking a 4.97% decline from the previous fiscal.

Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd., the country’s backbone of high‑voltage transmission, released its consolidated financials for the year ended March 2026. The headline number that caught most eyes was the net sales figure – ₹11,665.61 crore – which represents a 4.97% dip compared with the same period last year.

At first glance, a sub‑5% slide might not look dramatic, but in an industry where growth is usually steady, it raised a few eyebrows. The dip was largely attributed to lower transmission charges stemming from subdued power demand and a modest slowdown in new line additions during the fiscal year.

On the profit side, the company managed to keep its bottom line relatively intact. Operating profit showed resilience, helped by cost‑containment measures and a healthier margin on the existing transmission portfolio. Still, analysts point out that a continued slowdown could pressure earnings if the trend persists.

Looking ahead, Power Grid’s management remains cautiously optimistic. They highlighted ongoing projects in the Western and Southern regions, as well as plans to modernise ageing assets, which could provide a lift once demand picks up again. The firm also hinted at exploring ancillary services – like renewable‑energy integration – to diversify revenue streams.

Investors, meanwhile, are keeping a close watch on the government’s policy moves, especially around power tariffs and the push for green energy. Any positive shift there could offset the current sales slump and put the company back on a growth trajectory.
