Power Grid Corporation of India, a government-owned transmission company, reported a 2.5% increase in revenue compared to the prior quarter. Notably, revenue from its transmission and telecom segments saw strong YoY growth. Although the company experienced a slight rise in expenses relative to previous quarters, this had minimal impact on its margins and profitability. Looking ahead, the government's focus on infrastructure development, along with increased power demand driven by economic activities, is expected to fuel growth in India's utility sector. Power Grid's upcoming renewable energy initiatives, backed by substantial capital expenditure and a resilient business model, signal a promising growth outlook over the long term. Consequently, the company’s performance is expected to remain positive, supporting a favorable medium to long-term perspective.
