Why Is CLSA Calling FY26 a Weak Year for Tata Power?
About Tata Power and CLSA’s Latest View
CLSA maintained its Hold recommendation on Tata Power while increasing the target price to ₹415 from ₹369. The brokerage described FY26 as a weak year for the company as pressure emerged across multiple business segments including Mundra IPP, solar EPC and renewable energy IPP operations.
Despite operational weakness in renewable-focused businesses, CLSA highlighted that the worst may now be behind the company as coal mining operations continued delivering stronger performance and supporting overall stability.
The brokerage also indicated that losses in the Mundra imported coal-based power business and slowing momentum in solar EPC execution negatively impacted FY26 performance.
The latest commentary reflects the challenges currently facing power and renewable energy companies amid project execution pressure, pricing volatility and slower renewable monetisation.
