Torrent Power plans Rs 50,000 crore investment in renewable energy capacity expansion
The homegrown power major is targeting 10 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 - a significant leap from its current 1.75 GW operational portfolio.
Company officials said the Rs 50,000-crore capex war chest will be split across three key verticals: approximately Rs 20,000 crore will power the company's RE ambitions, Rs 14,000 crore will go into pumped storage hydro projects with a cumulative 3,000 MW capacity, and the remaining Rs 16,000 crore is earmarked for expanding its transmission and distribution (T&D) network, including tapping new privatisation opportunities.

The company is not leaving its plans for a long-term horizon. In FY 2026 alone, Torrent Power has lined up a capex of around Rs 5,700 crore for RE projects, officials told TOI. Solar projects will attract Rs 2,500 crore, wind Rs 4,500 crore, while hybrid projects,- where the company is betting big - are slated to draw Rs 13,000 crore over the broader investment cycle.
"In the T&D segment, Torrent plans to pump in around Rs 1,300 crore to bolster its transmission network during FY26, alongside Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500 crore earmarked for expanding and upgrading its distribution business," a company spokesperson said.

Execution of key RE projects on ground is already in motion. "We expect to commission nearly 900 MW of renewable capacity in FY26 alone, including 370 MW of solar, 300 MW of wind and around 250 MW of hybrid projects," the spokesperson further added.
With 3.1 GW of projects currently under construction, the company's total RE portfolio, both operational and in the pipeline, is now at nearly 4.9 GW.
Torrent maintains a 70:30 debt-to-equity ratio for new projects. Its recently concluded Rs 3,500-crore QIP has fortified its financial base, with its net debt to EBITDA ratio at a comfortable 1.41 as of March 2025 - among the lowest in the Indian power sector.

Top Losers and Gainers on July 28: Kotak Mahindra Bank, SBI Cards, GMDC, CDSL among top losers today
Indian equities ended another session in the red, dragged down by a sharp decline in Kotak Mahindra Bank along with weakness in other key heavyweights, including Bharti Airtel and TCS, leading to an almost 0.70% drop in the benchmark indices. In addition, the delay in a potential India–US trade deal and continued selling by overseas investors also weighed on the Indian stock market, which extended its losing streak to a third consecutive session on Monday and fell to a 7-week low. The Nifty 50 slipped below the 24,700 mark, settling at 24,680 with a 0.63% decline, while the S&P BSE Sensex dropped 0.72% to close at 80,874 points. While large-cap stocks continued to face selling pressure, mid- and small-cap stocks saw even sharper declines, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 ending today's session down 1.26% and the Nifty Midcap 100 closing with a 0.84% drop.

Personal loan volume spikes, year-on-year growth drops in FY 2025: Report
Resorting to borrowing when the credit need arises is a typical behaviour of consumers. Be it for car, home, consumer durables or for personal needs, borrowing is the part and parcel of life of consumers everywhere. CRIF High Mark released its annual report listing out latest trends relating to borrowing trends of Indian consumers. The report highlights that personal loan POS grew from ₹ 10.7 lakh crore to ₹ 14.6 lakh crore over two years but year-on-year growth fell sharply from 25.2 percent in FY2024 to 9.1 percent in FY2025. The report titled How India Lends Credit Landscape in India FY 2025 provides in depth insights into originations, portfolio and delinquency trends across major product categories. When it comes to the lender type, the share of NBFCs has increased from 27.6 percent to 36.4 percent in the past two years from 2023 to 2025. During this time, the share of private banks fell from 32.5 percent to 29.2 percent. The share of PSU banks declined from 35.3 percent to 30.5 percent. The share of origination value for personal loans over ₹ 10 lakh has risen steadily from 28.2 percent in FY24 to 30.9 percent in FY25, indicating a growing preference for higher-value loans. Meanwhile, the share for loans between ₹ 1 lakh and ₹ 10 lakh has declined, suggesting a shift away from mid-sized lending. Interestingly, loans under ₹ 1 lakh are also gaining market share in origination value, driven by the increasing adoption of digital and small-ticket lending solutions, especially by NBFCs. Loans below ₹ 1L also continue to dominate in volume, increasing from 87.1% in FY24 to 89.3% in FY25. The origination value of two-wheeler loans jumped from ₹ 99,543 crore in FY24 to ₹ 110,056 crore in FY25, though the growth rate moderated from 25.1 percent to 10.6 percent over the same period. The report suggests that tighter credit policies aimed at managing default risks, along with increasing stress among sub-prime borrowers, may have influenced this slowdown. Two-wheeler loan delinquencies increased across all lender types from Mar '24 to Mar 2025, with PAR 31-90 percent for PSU Banks climbing from 1.27 percent to 1.61 percent and private banks rising from 3.27 percent to 3.62 percent. In terms of credit cards, the share of private banks fell from 70.8 percent to 69.6 percent (active loans) and from 69.9 percent to 68.9 percent (portfolio outstanding). New card originations fell to 216.4 lakh in FY25, down 26.4 percent YoY, reversing the strong growth seen in FY22 and FY23. This follows a peak of 294.1 lakh cards that were issued in fiscal 2024, indicating a clear slowdown in momentum and tightening credit criteria.
