Power Finance Corporation (PFC) is India's largest power-sector financier, lending to generation, transmission, distribution and renewable energy projects, and its Q2 FY 2026-2027 print comes against a quarter of rising bond yields and an October repo-rate hike. The results will speak most directly to whether the consolidated loan book — which slipped to Rs. 11,60,133.48 Cr at June 30, 2026 — can resume growth toward the ~10% FY27 target, and how the 2.40%-2.50% spread guidance holds up as funding costs rise.
| Results date | November 04, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Quarter | Q2 FY 2026-2027 |
| Previous quarter revenue | Rs. 13,993.13 Cr (standalone, Q1 FY27) |

Power Finance Corporation is scheduled to report its Q2 FY 2026-2027 results on November 04, 2026. The board meeting intimation for the audited/limited-reviewed financial results for the quarter was filed with the BSE and NSE ahead of the November 04, 2026 date.
PFC declared a first interim dividend of Rs. 3.90 per share (39%) with its Q1 FY27 results announced August 7, 2026, with a record date of August 27, 2026 and payment on or before September 6, 2026. FY26 total dividend stood at Rs. 18.55 per share, the highest in the company's history. Management has guided to a dividend payout of around 30% of profit after tax.
The Q2 FY27 print will test whether PFC's loan book can return to the ~10% FY27 growth target after the consolidated book slipped to Rs. 11,60,133.48 Cr at June 30, 2026 — marginally below the Rs. 11.64 lakh crore reported at March 2026 — with prepayments from two major generation projects of around Rs. 10,000 crores having suppressed FY26 growth to 7% against 10-11% guided.
Spread is the second pressure point: the 10-year G-sec yield hardened from 6.84% end-July to 7.05% on September 21, and the MPC hiked the repo rate 25 bps to 5.50% on October 7 with a calibrated-tightening stance, putting the 2.40%-2.50% FY27 spread guidance (vs 2.46% achieved in FY26) under pressure via the marginal cost of funds on a liability stack that is 60% bonds.
On forex, the euro's move was far milder than the ~8% H1 FY26 appreciation that drove Rs. 1,100 crores of transaction losses — EUR/INR moved from Rs. 108.20 on June 23 to the Rs. 109-110 zone around end-September before easing to Rs. 106.55 by October 30 — and Q1 already swung to a standalone forex gain of Rs. 75.15 Cr against a Rs. 654.64 Cr loss a year ago.
Credit cost enters a normalization phase: Q1 carried a net impairment reversal of Rs. 556 Cr, but management has said the ~Rs. 800 crore FY26 NPA-resolution write-back benefit will not repeat, leaving provisioning at the 0.4% standard / 1% under-construction ECL framing, with gross credit-impaired at 1.11% after 1.09% at FY26-end.
The merger clock also runs on — RBI and BSE/NSE No-Objections were received October 15 and October 19, 2026, with the NCLT filing required within 6 months of the exchange letters and the merged entity targeted for April 1, 2027.

Standalone loan growth was 7% in FY26 against guidance of 10-11%, which management attributed to disproportionate prepayments as banks aggressively refinanced commissioned assets. Around Rs. 10,000 crores of prepayments came from two major generation projects.
PFC reported H1 FY26 transaction losses of Rs. 1,100 crores (Rs. 650 crores in Q2 FY26 plus Rs. 500 crores in Q1) on a Rs. 90,000 crores Euro book as the Euro appreciated approximately 8%. Management expects gradual quarter-to-quarter reversal given 4-9 year Euro maturities, with 97% of the portfolio hedged.
The merger received RBI No Objection on October 15, 2026 and BSE/NSE No-Objection letters on October 19, 2026, with an NCLT filing required within 6 months of the exchange letters. The merged entity is targeted to come into existence by April 1, 2027, with a swap ratio of 88 PFC shares per 100 REC shares.
Management has said the ~Rs. 800 crore benefit from NPA resolutions in FY26 — including nearly Rs. 670 crores from the Sinnar Thermal Power Project resolution — is unlikely to repeat. Standard-account provisioning follows RBI-aligned ECL policies averaging 0.4% for standard and 1% for under-construction assets.
PFC's FY26 total dividend was Rs. 18.55 per share, the highest in the company's history, and a Q1 FY27 interim of Rs. 3.90 per share (39%) was declared in August 2026. Management has guided to a payout of around 30% of profit after tax, with post-merger dividends to align with DIPAM guidelines of 30% of consolidated profits.
