Adani Power Ltd. share price target

Adani Power (Adani) has increased its under construction capacity by 2x (25GW vs earlier 12GW). It has tied up power purchase agreement of ~11GW (including L1 in Assam of 2.4GW) at attractive tariffs.

Weak power demand impacted the PLF of operational power plant and merchant prices in Q1FY26. Merchant realisation in Q1 declined to INR 6.5/kWh (vs. INR 7.6/kWh YoY).

We remain optimistic about Adani Power’s long-term growth trajectory, supported by its leadership position in India’s private thermal power sector, improved coal availability, and strong operational execution.
