Synopsis

Tata Power share price surged after Gujarat approved a new power supply deal. This allows the company to restart its 4-gigawatt Mundra plant. The agreement aims to boost power output amid potential summer gas shortages. It requires federal approval and takes effect from April 2025. Tariffs will align with other states. This development offers relief to India's energy sector.

Tata Power share price: Shares of Tata Power gained as much as 5% to their day’s high of Rs 418.50 on the BSE on Friday after Gujarat approved a revised power supply pact with the company, clearing the way for it to resume long-term supply from its 4-gigawatt Mundra plant, news agency Reuters reported.

The Economic Times couldn’t independently verify the report. Tata Power hasn’t informed the exchanges about this development either.

The imported coal-fired plant has not operated for the past six months after the government last year withdrew the emergency clause that compensates companies for generating power using expensive imported coal, Reuters added.

The deal comes as a relief to India, which is aiming to maximise power output from its coal plants amid an escalating Middle East conflict that is expected to trigger a gas shortage during the summer months.

The agreement is subject to approval from the federal power regulator and will take effect retrospectively from April 2025.

While the document did not disclose the exact pricing of the power supply, it noted that Gujarat has mandated that tariffs must not exceed those paid by other states, the report said.
