Adani Electricity retains A+ national ranking among power distribution utilities as sector turns profitable

Adani Electricity retains its top A+ national ranking for power distribution, as the sector reports its first-ever combined profit, driven by reforms and efficiency.

Adani Electricity retains A+ national ranking among power distribution utilities as sector turns profitable
"Being recognised at the top for yet another year matters because it reflects the trust Mumbaikars place in the city's -- and the country's -- leading power utility every single day. - Adani Electricity"

Ahmedabad, Jan 24

Adani Electricity has once again secured A+ national ranking in the 14th 'Annual Integrated Rating and Ranking of Power Distribution Utilities' by the state-run Power Finance Corporation.

The back-to-back top ranking reflects the company's consistent performance in delivering reliable power supply, maintaining low losses, and upholding strong financial discipline.

Commenting on the recognition, Adani Electricity said that retaining the top national ranking reflects the deep trust placed in the utility by the people of Mumbai.

As the company completes 100 years of serving the city, it emphasised its role in quietly and reliably powering homes, hospitals, and essential services every day.

"Being recognised at the top for yet another year matters because it reflects the trust Mumbaikars place in the city's -- and the country's -- leading power utility every single day," the Adani Group company stated.

"As we complete 100 years of serving Mumbai, we have grown hand in hand with the city, keeping homes running, hospitals powered, and the city moving, quietly and reliably," it added.

The latest rating marks a significant moment for the sector nationally. For FY25, rated power distribution utilities across India reported a combined profit after tax of Rs 2,701 crore, the first time the sector has turned profitable on an accrual basis.

This is a sharp improvement from a loss of Rs 27,022 crore in FY24 and reflects the cumulative impact of reforms, better financial discipline, and technology-driven operations.

Adani Electricity's billing efficiency remains consistently high at over 95 per cent, while collection efficiency is close to 100 per cent.

The report also highlights Adani Electricity's robust financial discipline, including among the best days-receivable performance nationally.

What distinguishes Adani Electricity's achievement is the consistency of its results.

Rather than short-term gains, the utility's performance reflects institutionalised operational discipline, advanced use of data and analytics, and a strong focus on service reliability, the report said.

This has reinforced its role as a benchmark for urban power distribution not just in Maharashtra, but across India.

The report said that data-led operations, smart metering, and analytics are now central to improving efficiency, reducing losses, and strengthening financial performance.

This is positive news for the sector overall. If other DISCOMs can learn from this model and the entire country gets 24/7 reliable power, it will be a huge boost for manufacturing and 'Make in India'. The sector turning profitable is a milestone.

While the ranking is impressive, I hope this operational efficiency also translates to more stable tariffs for consumers. Sometimes these corporate efficiencies don't trickle down to the common man's electricity bill.

 95% billing efficiency and near 100% collection is remarkable. The data-driven approach mentioned here is the future. Other Indian cities need to adopt this tech focus to reduce the massive AT&C losses that burden the economy.

Completing 100 years of service to Mumbai is an achievement in itself! My grandfather used to talk about the old Bombay Electric Supply. It's good to see an old institution modernizing and leading from the front. More power to them! 💡

The real story is the sector turning profitable nationally. From a loss of 27k crore to a profit of 2700 crore is a dramatic shift. Hope this financial discipline continues and reduces the need for government bailouts using taxpayer money.
