Why are Adani Power share price up 7% today? Explained
Shares of Adani Power Limited surged over 7% on Monday after the company announced it had secured a Letter of Award (LoA) from Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) for a long-term power supply contract. As per the revised exchange filing dated May 12, 2025, Adani Power will supply 1,500 MW of electricity to UPPCL over a 25-year period.
The supply will originate from a planned 2×800 MW (1,600 MW) thermal power project in Uttar Pradesh, developed under a competitive bidding framework. The contract, awarded through UPPCL's standard tendering process, aligns with state procurement guidelines.
Though financial specifics of the order were not disclosed, Adani Power confirmed that the tariff would be governed by the bid terms. Importantly, the company clarified that the project falls under domestic procurement and does not involve any related party interest from Adani Group promoters.
The stock jumped as much as 7% intraday following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the company's expanding portfolio of long-term power purchase agreements. The stock exchanges had previously advised the company to issue a revised disclosure after its initial announcement on May 10, which was complied with today.
The development strengthens Adani Power's standing as a key private sector player in India's thermal power sector, particularly in long-term, state-backed supply agreements.

Revenue vs Profit: What's the difference and why it matters for Indian businesses
For anyone trying to understand a company's financial health, two terms appear almost everywhere: Revenue and Profit. Many new investors, entrepreneurs, and students often confuse the two. Let's break it down with simple examples relevant to Indian businesses. What is revenue? Revenue (also called Sales or Topline) refers to the total money a company earns by selling its products or services during a specific period. Think of it as: Total income generated before any expenses are deducted. Example: If Dabur India sells personal care products worth Rs 500 crore in one quarter, that Rs 500 crore is its revenue. What is profit? Profit (also called Net Income or Bottomline) is the money left after deducting all expenses, including operating costs, salaries, rent, interest, depreciation, and taxes, from the revenue. In short: Profit = Revenue – Total Expenses Example: If Dabur's total expenses (raw materials, salaries, marketing, taxes) for the same quarter were Rs 400 crore, then: Profit = Rs 500 crore – Rs 400 crore = Rs 100 crore Types of profit in Indian financial statements: Gross Profit:Revenue minus cost of goods sold (COGS). Example: For a restaurant chain like Barbeque Nation, this would mean revenue minus food material costs. Operating Profit (EBIT): Gross profit minus all operating expenses (excluding interest and taxes). Net Profit: Final profit after all expenses, including taxes and interest, are deducted. Why is this important for investors and business owners? Revenue shows scale: High revenue shows a company is selling a lot, but doesn't guarantee profit. Profit shows efficiency: A company with moderate revenue but high profit margins (like Infosys ) may be a more efficient business. Misleading perception: Some startups and new-age tech companies (like Zomato or Paytm) may report high revenue but still run at a loss for years. Quick summary: While Revenue tells you how much money is coming in, Profit tells you how much the company is actually keeping. Understanding both is essential when evaluating any Indian company, whether you're an investor, a student, or a budding entrepreneur.
