He further said the company is accelerating the transition to a sustainable and reliable grid and ensuring continuous and reliable power supply across all regions through its assets in India. The focus remains strong on cashflow generation, operational excellence, and governance.

The company said its transmission business revenue growth in the fourth quarter was driven by newly-commissioned lines, and rise in distribution revenue on account of a consistent uptick in energy demand.

"Q4 PAT (profit after tax) in the transmission business grew 11 per cent to Rs 221 crore and distribution PAT at Rs 218 crore grew 478 per cent y-o-y, aided by a mid-term true-up order by the regulator," it said.
