Adani Power Share Price Target 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030

Adani Power share price today

Adani Power is India’s largest private thermal power producer. Its plants sell under long-term agreements, short-term contracts and merchant markets. That mix creates both an advantage and a trap: contracted capacity supports cash flow, while merchant prices and fuel availability can make yearly profit volatile.

The post-split share trades at roughly 34 times trailing earnings and 7.6 times book. Those are premium multiples for a coal generator. The market is not merely valuing today’s fleet; it is paying for capacity expansion, new PPAs and the idea that recent profitability is sustainable.

Q1 FY27 was strong, but not all quarters are comparable

Standalone, ₹ crore	Jun 2025	Sep 2025	Dec 2025	Mar 2026	Jun 2026
Sales	12,462	11,243	10,011	11,573	15,761
Operating profit	5,224	4,519	3,582	3,858	6,663
OPM	42%	40%	36%	33%	42%
Net profit	3,119	2,735	2,047	3,087	4,105

June 2026 recovered sharply: sales rose 36% sequentially and operating margin returned to 42%. A single quarter cannot establish a new normal. Plant load factor, merchant tariffs, coal cost and settlement income must explain the move.

Annual profit contains a cycle and one-offs

Standalone, ₹ crore	FY22	FY23	FY24	FY25	FY26
Sales	27,711	36,681	46,456	49,711	45,289
Operating profit	9,904	9,360	16,709	19,622	17,207
Other income	4,001	4,479	10,048	2,747	4,248
Net profit	5,036	10,246	19,632	11,560	10,988

FY24’s ₹19,632 crore profit is not a sensible base for straight-line forecasts; other income alone was ₹10,048 crore. FY26 sales and profit fell even though operating margin remained high. Normalised operating profit is the better anchor.

Contracted power and merchant power deserve different multiples

A long-term PPA can make revenue predictable, but the return depends on tariff design. Cost-plus or fuel-pass-through contracts protect fuel risk better than a fixed tariff. Merchant sales can earn exceptional margins during shortages and much less when supply is comfortable. Combining both into one average selling price hides the risk.

For each major expansion, investors should ask four questions: how much capacity is tied up under a signed contract, who supplies the coal, when interest during construction stops being capitalised, and what equity return remains after debt service. A 1,600 MW announcement is not automatically worth more than a smaller plant with secure fuel and a sound tariff.

Adani Power’s June quarter shows why the split matters. A 42% operating margin is excellent, but applying that margin to every quarter through 2030 would be an aggressive forecast. Our base case uses a lower normalised margin and gives credit to expansion only as projects approach commissioning.

Growth has a financing and execution cost

Adani Power has announced and contracted new thermal capacity, including a 25-year supply agreement for 1,600 MW with MSEDCL. Long contracts improve visibility, but new plants demand large capital outlays years before full cash generation. The variables that matter are project cost, financing terms, coal linkage, commissioning dates and contracted return—not megawatts alone.

Promoter holding remained 74.96% in June 2026. FII ownership was 11.76%, while DII ownership rose from 1.64% in March 2025 to 4.07%. Institutional interest is useful context, not a substitute for project economics.

The numbers

Metric	Screener snapshot
Market capitalisation	₹4.03 lakh Cr
P/E · price/book	33.7 · 7.60
Book value per share	₹27.5
ROE · ROCE	22.0% · 19.1%
Dividend yield	0.00%
52-week range	₹114 – ₹254

The valuation is demanding because generators are capital-heavy and cyclical. High ROE partly reflects the small book value denominator after earlier stress; it should not automatically justify a consumer-platform multiple.

From earnings to the target range

We normalise FY26–FY27 operating profit, subtract ordinary interest, depreciation and tax, and then apply a lower multiple than the current screen P/E. The base target grows as commissioned capacity adds earnings, not because we assume the multiple expands. The bull case allows both faster commissioning and a premium for a larger contracted fleet; the bear case assumes a merchant downcycle and project delays.

This framework deliberately excludes unusually large settlement or prior-period income. If such cash is genuinely recurring, the model will prove conservative. If it is not, excluding it prevents a one-time accounting gain from becoming a four-year price promise.

Adani Power share price target 2026 to 2030

The bear case models a lower merchant-price cycle and slower commissioning. The base case assumes contracted additions arrive broadly on time with normalised margins. The bull case needs high plant utilisation, controlled capex and strong merchant economics without relying on exceptional income.

What would change our mind

Normalised profit: remove regulatory settlements, prior-period claims and exceptional income before deciding what multiple the business deserves.

Net debt and capex: expansion that raises debt faster than operating cash flow would weaken the equity case.

Fuel security: coal shortages or expensive imports can erase the margin benefit of strong power prices.

Receivables: delayed payments from distribution companies convert accounting profit into working-capital stress.

Should you buy at the current price?

Adani Power has become a stronger operator, but the market price already assigns substantial value to its pipeline. The member panel shows our entry range and current rating. We would demand a margin of safety against both commodity and project-execution risk.

FAQ

What is the Adani Power target for 2030? The signed-in table shows three scenarios. A wide range is appropriate because power prices and commissioning dates cannot be forecast precisely four years ahead.

Why did FY24 profit jump? Operations improved, but other income was also very large. Using FY24 reported profit alone would overstate normal earning power.

Does Adani Power pay a dividend? The Screener snapshot showed no dividend yield. Cash is being directed toward the balance sheet and expansion.

What is the biggest risk? Paying a premium multiple before expansion returns and normalised free cash flow are proven.
