Power Grid Corporation of India Limited — PPTs, 23-03-2026: Investor Presentation

POWERGRID, a leading transmission utility, showcases strong growth visibility and resilient earnings. The company is central to India's energy transition, boasting the world's largest 765 kV transmission network and ~84% share of India's ISTS network.

Growth is driven by India's structural power demand upcycle, significant renewable energy expansion targeting 786 GW by 2035-36, and increasing grid complexity. Operational excellence, supported by AI-based defect detection and drone patrolling, ensures high network availability.

Recently, POWERGRID exceeded its revised FY26 Capex guidance, achieving ₹35,540 Cr., and saw strong capitalization of ₹22,749 Cr. Significant asset commissioning included 4,239 ckm of transmission lines, 60,370 MVA transformation capacity, and 8 new substations. The company also streamlined its SPV structure for better governance.

The company has a robust multi-year capex and capitalization pipeline. Planned capex for FY27-FY28 is around ₹82,000 Cr., with projected capitalization of about ₹65,000 Cr. A massive long-term transmission opportunity of over ₹15 Trillion is anticipated, with an execution pipeline of over ₹9,00,000 Cr. This robust pipeline, coupled with consistent shareholder value creation (2.5x M-Cap growth, 3-4% dividend yield FY21-26), positions POWERGRID for sustained expansion.
