According to a statement released on Friday, the company's net profit from January through March 2021–22 was Rs 4,645 crore.

According to the firm, “PAT for FY23 increased by 118.4% at Rs 10,727 crore vs Rs 4,912 crore for FY22 due to higher EBITDA, lower finance cost on account of debt prepayment, as well as certain reversals subsequent to the Scheme of Amalgamation becoming effective.”
EBITDA, or profits before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, was greater for the firm in FY23 at Rs 14,312 crore than it was in FY22 at Rs 13,789 crore.

High import coal costs limited power offtake under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), while domestic coal-related restrictions had an impact on the PLF of open capacity.
