The Board of Directors are pleased to present the 7th Board's Report together with the Audited Financial Statements of GMR Power and Urban Infra Limited ("GPUIL" or "the Company") for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.
GPUIL is a diversified infrastructure company with interests across Energy, Roads, Smart Meter Infrastructure and Urban Infrastructure businesses.
India's energy sector continued its structural transformation during FY 2025-26, with non-fossil sources accounting for over half of the country's installed generation capacity. As of March 31, 2026, India's total installed power generation capacity stood at approximately 533 GW, of which 53% comprised non-fossil energy sources. Supported by sustained policy focus on energy security, grid modernisation and clean energy transition, the sector remains well positioned to support India's long-term economic growth aspirations.
As of March 31, 2026, GPUIL had an operating coal-based generation capacity of 1,650 MW and 34.4 MW of renewable energy capacity. The Company is progressing with plans to add a 350 MW Unit 4 at its Kamalanga plant in Odisha, in addition to advancing opportunities in renewable energy and energy storage solutions.
FY 2025-26 marked a period of improved operational and financial stability for the Company. Through operational discipline, prudent capital management and portfolio optimization, GPUIL strengthened its foundations and enhanced financial flexibility, positioning itself to pursue sustainable growth opportunities and create long-term stakeholder value.
During the year, the Company substantially completed the divestment of select non-core energy assets, including its hydro and gas power interests, enabling the settlement of legacy liabilities and contributing to a further reduction in consolidated debt. GPUIL also strengthened its balance sheet through a ' 1,200 Crore preferential capital raise. In addition, favourable Supreme Court rulings relating to GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited ("GKEL") resulted in recovery of outstanding receivables, while refinancing of GKEL's senior debt reduced borrowing costs and further improved the Company's liquidity position.
The Company also advanced its growth agenda by establishing multiple renewable energy platforms focused on solar, Commercial & Industrial ("C&I"), hybrid and Firm & Dispatchable Renewable Energy ("FDRE") solutions, laying the foundation for a scalable clean energy portfolio. Significant progress was also achieved in the Uttar Pradesh smart metering programme, with more than 39 lakh smart meters installed as of April 2026 against the contracted scope of 75.69 lakh meters, while discussions are underway for expansion of the project scope.
GPUIL's EPC business had earlier completed all contracted sections of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor project, and all associated defect liability obligations have since been discharged. The transportation business continues to operate three highway assets spanning approximately 888 lane kilometres. In the urban infrastructure segment, development activities continued at GMR Krishnagiri Special Investment Region (GKSIR),
including infrastructure creation across approximately 61 acres to support future industrial leasing and land monetization initiatives.
ESG remains integral to GPUIL's strategy, guiding the development of sustainable infrastructure businesses while supporting the Company's transition towards renewable energy, smart infrastructure and long-term value creation for stakeholders.

This was mainly because both the thermal plants GKEL and GWEL operated at similar PLF levels as previous year. In addition, the power segment benefited from a higher contribution from the coal trading business, driven by increased market demand and higher trading volumes during the year.
Revenue from smart meter infrastructure segment mainly consists of revenue on account of smart meters installation & control and maintenance. The revenue has been recognised in accordance with Ind AS 115, as the meters are operational and the performance obligations have been satisfied.
During the current year, the revenue is recognised for the full year, wherein revenue recognition had commenced since December 2024 in the previous year when all the performance obligations were met.
The revenue from road segment has decreased by 44.95% from ' 396.69 Crore in FY 2024-25 to ' 218.37 Crore in FY 2025-26 mainly due to closure of operation in GMR Hyderabad Vijayawada Expressway Private Limited ("GHVEPL") on account of handover of project pursuant to
