Adani Power Ltd. has seen its shares climb an impressive 60% since hitting a 52-week low of Rs 128.35 on January 23, 2026. As of November 5, 2026, the stock traded around Rs 205.30, marking a substantial recovery and making it India’s most valuable listed power company, surpassing NTPC in market capitalization.
Factors Fueling the Adani Power Rally
The remarkable surge in Adani Power shares is attributed to several key drivers over the past year:
- Strong Earnings Performance: Consistent growth in net profit and revenue has bolstered investor confidence.
- Rising Power Demand: An increase in electricity consumption, partly due to heatwaves and the expanding AI boom requiring more data centers, has significantly boosted demand for power generation.
- Strategic Expansion: The company's ongoing capacity expansion plans contribute to future growth projections.
Financial Highlights and Performance
Adani Power has reported robust financial results across recent quarters:
- Q2 FY27: Net profit soared 141.5% year-on-year to Rs 7,019 crore. Revenue increased by 28.5% to Rs 17,528 crore.
- Q1 FY27: Consolidated net profit grew 42% year-on-year to Rs 4,806 crore, with revenue up 34% to Rs 18,902 crore, driven by volume growth and improved power selling rates.
- Q4 FY26: Net profit surged 64% year-on-year to Rs 4,271 crore, primarily from other operations, despite a marginal dip in revenues.
Technical Indicators and Market Position
Technically, the stock shows a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 57.7, indicating it is neither oversold nor overbought. Adani Power is currently trading above its 5-day, 10-day, 20-day, 30-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, though it remains below its 100-day and 150-day averages.
The company operates an installed capacity of 18,330 MW across 13 assets as of H1 FY27 and is undertaking a significant 23.7 GW thermal capacity expansion program. This expansion, estimated at Rs 2 lakh crore, is targeted for completion by FY32.
Analyst Outlook and Price Targets
Brokerage firms have offered varied but generally positive outlooks on Adani Power:
Jefferies
Jefferies revised its price target to Rs 240 (down from Rs 270), citing a recent sector de-rating due to higher interest rates and limited scope for earnings surprises in FY28E-30E as merchant share reduces. However, they note Adani Power's 18x multiple implies a 100% premium to NTPC's 9x, reflecting faster growth and merchant upside. Key downside risks include potential PPA issues, sharp drops in merchant realizations, demand disappointment, and payment delays for the Godda power plant.
Elara Securities
Elara Securities maintains an 'accumulate' call with a target price of Rs 220. They emphasize strong earnings visibility supported by a 24 GW locked-in capacity expansion, increasing PPA coverage, and potential upside from merchant power. Elara reduced its FY27 earnings estimates, factoring in delays in capacity additions, and believes much of the medium-term growth is already reflected in current valuations.
JM Financial
JM Financial issued a 'buy' call, raising its target price slightly to Rs 258 (from Rs 255). Their estimates include the commissioning of Korba-II units in Q3/Q4 FY27, Mahan-II in FY28, and another 3,600 MW in FY29. Citing increasing power deficits in the evening hours (5.1/4.1/7.7 GW in CY24/25/26), swift commissioning of new capacities (4 years vs. industry average of 5-6 years), and an attractive financial profile (2.5-3 net debt/EBITDA during FY26-29), JM Financial recommends a 'buy'.
