Power Finance Corporation (PFC) Latest Updates

Q1 FY26 Financial Performance PFC reported a strong performance for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26. Its consolidated net profit for the quarter rose by approximately 25% year-on-year to ₹8,981 crore. This was primarily driven by a significant increase in interest income and a notable improvement in asset quality, with the Net NPA ratio reaching a new low of 0.31%. Interim Dividend Declaration The company's board has declared an interim dividend of ₹3.70 per share for FY26. The record date for this dividend is Monday, August 18, 2025. Due to the T+1 settlement system, investors who wish to be eligible for this dividend must purchase the shares before the market closes on the last trading day before the record date. The payment is scheduled to be made on or before September 5, 2025. Other Developments PFC has been a subject of positive analyst commentary, with some firms naming it and its subsidiary, REC, as top picks in the NBFC sector. This is partly due to new RBI norms that are expected to benefit project lending. The company has also been actively involved in securing loans and signing MoUs for various power and infrastructure projects.
