CESC Limited is an integrated power utility engaged in electricity generation, distribution, and renewable-energy development, serving more than 4.9 million consumers across seven locations. Its portfolio combines thermal generation, licensed and franchise distribution businesses, Purvah Green’s renewable platform, and an emerging solar cell and module manufacturing initiative. The most transformative development is Purvah Green’s planned acquisition of 1.4 GWp of operating solar assets from ReNew for approximately Rs 4,859 crore. The transaction is expected to add roughly Rs 600 crore of annual revenue and convert Purvah Green into a cash-generating operating platform with more than 90% of acquired capacity tied to SECI. CESC Limited’s renewable ambitions are unusually large relative to its current base: 4.9 GWp is contracted or under implementation, with approximately Rs 26,000 crore of committed capex and a 10 GW medium-term vision. The pipeline spans solar, wind, hybrid, round-the-clock, and battery-backed projects, creating multiple routes to firm renewable supply. Current operations remain resilient despite relatively flat EBITDA. Consolidated H1 FY27 revenue grew 6% to Rs 11,245 crore and PAT increased 1% to Rs 857 crore, while high plant load factors at Budge Budge, Haldia, and Dhariwal supported generation reliability. Lower finance costs and depreciation also helped standalone PAT rise 5% in H1. Distribution efficiency continues to improve in important territories, particularly Noida Power and Chandigarh Power, while Malegaon remains a material weakness with a 35.7% transmission-and-distribution loss. The company’s balance sheet carries Rs 22,017 crore of borrowings and Rs 9,014 crore of regulatory deferral balances, making execution, funding, and regulatory recovery important valuation considerations.
