The Board of India Power Corporation Limited approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY ended 31st March 2025. Both reports carry a qualified opinion from auditors SS Kothari Mehta & Co., flagging three issues: Rs. 19,970 lakhs unsecured receivable from Power Trust (linked to an IBC case), a sub-judice IBC application against the company by lenders of Meenakshi Energy Limited for invocation of a corporate guarantee, and Rs. 15,296.87 lakhs of outstanding Electricity Duty under the Bengal Electricity Duty Act, 1935. Standalone revenue from operations fell to Rs. 59,990.59 lakhs (from Rs. 62,700.53 lakhs), while standalone profit before tax dropped sharply to Rs. 588.87 lakhs (from Rs. 2,000.47 lakhs). Consolidated PAT fell to Rs. 702.98 lakhs (from Rs. 1,718.24 lakhs). The Q4 standalone results showed a loss of Rs. 695.74 lakhs, impacted by a Rs. 7,354.92 lakhs loss on de-recognition of financial assets. The Board recommended a modest dividend of Re. 0.05 (5%) per equity share, re-appointed the Whole-time Director for two years, appointed new Secretarial Auditors for five years, and approved transferring the Non-Regulated Business Division to its wholly owned subsidiary IPCL Power Limited.
Shareholders should note the qualified auditor opinion and unresolved litigation/contingent liabilities worth over Rs. 35,000 lakhs, which could materially affect future results. The sharp decline in profitability and Q4 loss signal weakening core performance, though the dividend continues. The business transfer to a subsidiary is a structural change that may affect how future results are reported.
