Adani Power has emerged as India's most valuable listed power company with a market capitalization of ₹4.24 lakh crore following a nearly 50% surge in 2026. This growth has outpaced competitors like NTPC, which has a market cap of ₹3.9 lakh crore. The surge is attributed to strong earnings growth, rising electricity demand, and increased institutional interest in the stock. Adani Power's plant load factors (PLFs) are estimated at 75-85%, higher than NTPC's 70-77%, which significantly contributes to its earnings. Jefferies recently raised its price target for Adani Power to ₹255, noting the company's robust growth trajectory and the potential for improved profitability through new power purchase agreements (PPAs). The company plans to expand its capacity from 18.2 GW to 31 GW by 2030 and 42 GW by 2032. However, risks such as regulatory challenges and competition from renewable energy sources remain pertinent.
