Reliance Power just lit up the Street.

The stock surged nearly 5.9 per cent on Monday (June 2, 2025), hitting a fresh 52-week high of Rs 62.8. 

What’s driving this sudden charge? A big-ticket green energy project, a surprise Q4 profit and a sharply trimmed debt pile. Add to that heavy volumes – over 16 crore shares changed hands – and it’s clear something has flipped the switch on investor sentiment.

But does this rally have staying power?

What’s happening?

  • Big clean energy win: Reliance NU Energy, a subsidiary, just bagged a project from state-run SJVN. It includes 350 MW of solar capacity and a 175 MW/700 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), a first for the company at this scale.

This wasn’t a routine award. The tender saw massive interest and was oversubscribed four times. The win signals Reliance Power's serious push into the renewables game, a space where future valuations are being minted.

  • Profitable Q4 shocker: The company posted a net profit of Rs 126 crore in Q4 FY25, its first in a while. This came despite a slight dip in revenue. What changed? A steep 24 per cent drop in expenses. That helped Reliance Power swing from a Rs 398 crore loss last year to a profit.

Here’s a quick snapshot:

Metric Q4 FY25 Q4 FY24 Change
Revenue  Rs 2,066 crore Rs 2,148 crore - 4 per cent
Net profit  Rs 126 crore - Rs 398 crore Turnaround
Expenses Rs 1,998 crore Rs 2,615 crore - 24 per cent
  • Debt cleanup: Over the last 12 months, the company repaid Rs 5,338 crore worth of debt. Its debt-to-equity ratio is now at a much healthier 0.88:1, down from 1.61:1. That’s a big positive in a capital-heavy business.
