Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Limited (ARE&M) has reported profit before tax of Rs 422 crore for Q3 of FY25. The Earnings Per Share (EPS) for Q3 of FY25 is at Rs 17.04. Revenue from Operations increased 10 percent on Y-o-Y basis to Rs 3,164.02 crore in Q3 FY25.
Operating margins for the quarter are adversely impacted due to Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) recovery approved by Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission. The FPPCA charges, which accounts for fluctuations in fuel and power procurement costs by distribution companies, have resulted in higher electricity expenses, thereby increasing operational costs for the company.
The company also reported a healthy growth in its 9-month revenues recording a rise of 11.4% over the corresponding period last year. The PBT (before exceptional items) rose by 6.4% from Rs 905.69 Cr to Rs 963.72 Cr. The strong growth in revenues was aided by healthy volumes registered in automotive after-market, UPS and in exports.
