AI-driven restructuring of subsidiaries
The rally followed the announcement made by Reliance Power on June 30, 2026, indicating that it would be diversifying its operations and venturing into the realms of artificial intelligence and technologically enabled operations in its subsidiary firms. In pursuit of this diversification goal, four firms were renamed in order to emphasize the newly identified focus areas.
These include the renaming of Reliance Power into Reliance AI Green Power Private Limited, Reliance Power into Reliance AI Power Private Limited, Reliance Data Control Private Limited into Reliance AI Data Control Private Limited and Reliance Data C Private Limited into Reliance AI Data C Private Limited.
Financial performance under pressure in FY26
However, despite the good market response, the financial performance of the firm in FY26 was still poor. The consolidated net loss of the firm in FY26 was ₹337 crore, while its net profit in FY25 was ₹2948 crore.
In the March 2026 quarter, the consolidated net loss of the firm was ₹494 crore, while in the corresponding quarter in the previous year, it made a net profit of ₹125 crore. The total income in Q4FY26 was ₹1946 crore, which is less than the total income of ₹2066 crore in the previous year.
Operational footprint and AI integration strategy
The current generation capacity of Reliance Power stands at 5305 MW, distributed across several geographical locations and sources of fuel. The total capacity of the company in its entire portfolio, which also includes the projects under development, is almost nearing 6000 MW.
The management has highlighted that the deployment of AI across subsidiaries would revolve around maximizing plant load factor efficiency and minimizing operations and maintenance cost. In addition, it also reflects the increasing need for energy worldwide owing to increased usage from data centres.
Stock performance trend remains weak despite rally
Despite the dramatic spike within the day, Reliance Power stock continues to face headwinds from the long-term perspective. Reliance Power is down 18.81% year-to-date and 59.51% for the past year, indicating consistent poor performance amid any volatility in the shorter term.
Regarding the overall market scenario, some of the other stocks that gained today include RITES and BEML. The movement in the stock was seen at different stock exchanges like the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE Limited.
