Adani Energy Solutions Experiences a Q1 Profit of Rs 539 Crore in Recent Records
Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) has announced a remarkable Q1 FY26 performance, marked by significant growth across key financial metrics and operational contributions from smart metering.
The company posted a net profit of around ₹512-539 crore in Q1 FY26, showing a substantial recovery from a loss of ₹824 crore in Q1 FY25 and a 71% year-on-year increase. However, the profit declined about 20.8% sequentially from ₹647 crore in Q4 FY25.
Total income rose by 27-28% year-on-year to approximately ₹6,819-7,026 crore, driven by stable operating performance, higher Service Concession Arrangement (SCA) income, and rising contributions from smart metering. Sequential revenue growth was 7-7.4% over Q4 FY25.

The smart metering business made a notable contribution, with an industry-leading daily run rate of meter installations during the quarter. By Q1 FY26, Adani Energy Solutions had installed 5.54 million meters and managed a portfolio of 22.8 million meters, indicating strong scale and growth in this segment.
Key operational highlights include the commissioning of three new transmission lines, an expansion of the transmission network, and a reduction in distribution losses from 5.18% to 4.24% year-on-year.
In summary, Q1 FY26 for Adani Energy Solutions was characterized by robust growth in revenue and profit driven by strong execution, capital expenditure growth (1.7x increase to ₹2,224 crore), and expanding smart metering contributions, reinforcing the company's core business momentum.
The under-construction order book for AESL stands at Rs 59,304 crore, and the company aims to install 70 lakh new meters this year. CEO Kandarp Patel anticipates a significant increase in AESL's capex roll-out and new bid activity from Q2. He also reported stable operating performance and growth in SCA income. By the end of FY26, AESL aims to have a minimum of 1 crore meters cumulatively installed.
