Consolidated net profit was Rs 393 crore in July-September quarter, compared with Rs 213 crore in the same period of the previous year, the company said in a statement.
Tata Power said its board has also approved plan to raise up to Rs 5,500 crore through issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis.
Revenue in the second quarter rose to Rs 7,234 crore from Rs 6,610 crore last year "mainly due to capacity addition in renewables, increase in fuel cost and increase in shipping tonnage," the statement said.
