Anil Ambani, Reliance Group chairman, appears to be making a comeback these days. Recently, one of his companies became debt-free. Now, Reliance Power has posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 2,878.15 crore in the July-September quarter of this financial year. Last year in the same quarter, it had reported a net loss of Rs 237.76 crore. On Wednesday, the market cap of the company reached Rs 14646 crore.
The company's total income dipped to Rs 1,962.77 crore in the quarter under review, from Rs 2,116.37 crore in the same period a year ago. However, the company said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday that it gained Rs 3,230.42 crore on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
During the July-September quarter, Reliance Power has settled Rs 3,872 crore guarantor obligations for its subsidiary Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd (VIPL). "...
