Collectively, these initiatives improved thermal efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, lowered auxiliary power demand and improved unit heat rates. Ratnagiri also achieved its lowest-ever monthly Auxiliary Power Consumption of 7.54% in FY 2025-26.

The de-staging of Boiler Feed Pump BFP-2B in Unit 2 further reduced pump power consumption and improved auxiliary-power performance. Overall, Ratnagiri’s efficiency initiatives delivered estimated annual energy reductions of 421,976.25 GJ and avoided approximately 38,240.63 tCO2e during FY 2025-26. These initiatives demonstrate the Company’s focus on improving the efficiency and environmental performance of its thermal assets while maintaining reliable baseload generation.

Our Outlook

India’s energy transition requires a balanced approach that supports decarbonisation while maintaining affordable, reliable and uninterrupted electricity. Renewable energy will continue to drive long-term capacity growth, while thermal power will remain important for grid stability, peak-demand management and dependable baseload supply during the transition. JSW Energy is therefore pursuing renewable-led growth alongside calibrated investments and efficiency improvements in thermal generation.

Under Strategy 3.0, JSW Energy targets 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy-storage capacity by FY 2030. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 13,454 MW of installed generation capacity, comprising 7,796 MW of renewable capacity, representing approximately 58% of the portfolio, and 5,658 MW of thermal capacity, representing approximately 42%. The Company’s locked-in generation portfolio stood at 32.1 GW, comprising approximately 21.4 GW of renewable capacity and 10.7 GW of thermal capacity. By FY 2030, the Company aims to maintain an approximately 70% renewable and 30% thermal portfolio mix.

The transition is supported by strategic diversification into energy storage, green hydrogen and energy-equipment manufacturing. JSW Energy has secured 29.6 GWh of locked-in storage capacity, comprising 26.4 GWh of pumped-hydro storage and 3.2 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems, against its FY 2030 target of 40 GWh. The Company has also operationalised a 5 GWh battery-container assembly facility in Pune and is developing domestic manufacturing capabilities to strengthen supply-chain resilience.

JSW Energy has commissioned a 25 MW green-hydrogen facility at Vijayanagar, powered entirely by renewable energy. The facility has an annual production capacity of approximately 3,600 tonnes of green hydrogen and supports the decarbonisation of steel manufacturing. Initial operating results indicate an approximately 3% reduction in carbon emissions per tonne of Direct Reduced Iron, along with improved production and reductant efficiency.

In parallel, the Company continues to reduce specific fuel consumption, improve heat rates, lower auxiliary power consumption and deploy digital energy-management systems across its thermal fleet. JSW Energy targets an approximately 50% reduction in combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity by FY 2030, against the FY 2020 baseline of 0.76 tCO2e/MWh. In FY 2025-26, emissions intensity stood at 0.59 tCO2e/MWh, representing an approximately 25% reduction from the FY 2020 baseline. The Company’s long-term decarbonisation roadmap supports its commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 or earlier.

The Company operates two 400 kV transmission lines through its subsidiary, Jaigad Power Transco Limited (JPTL). Transmission reliability, measured by the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), stood at 33.288 hours in FY 2022-23, 18.396 hours in FY 2023-24, 28.908 hours in FY 2024-25, and 15.768 hours in FY 2025-26.

Across its six thermal power assets, JSW Energy Limited (JSWEL) maintained an average Plant Availability Factor (PAF) of 72.91% in FY 2025-26. Its coal-based thermal power units achieved an average generation efficiency of 35.59% in FY 2025-26, compared with 35.33%, 35.42%, and 34.97% in the preceding three financial years, demonstrating sustained operational efficiency.
