Adani Green Energy Q1 Results: Profit Rises 51% On Higher Operating Margin

• Revenue rose 33% to Rs 2,176 crore.

• Ebitda rose 119% to Rs 2,081 crore.

• Ebitda margin came in at 95.6% vs. 57.9%.

The robust growth in revenue and Ebitda was primarily driven by the capacity addition of 2,516 MW over the last year, the company said in a statement. Cash profit for the quarter rose 55% year-on-year to Rs 1,051 crore.

The Ebitda margin was up on better operations and maintenance practices that enabled the company to achieve higher electricity generation at lower operation and maintenance costs, the company said.
