The Adani Power share price has stood out in 2025, rising 36% over the past 12 months even as most power sector stocks posted sharp declines. While several peers lost between 10% and 60% during the same period, Adani Power remained the strongest performer in the sector.
This contrast has helped the stock maintain its position as a potential top sectoral gainer for the year, despite recent short-term weakness.
The broader power sector has faced pressure in 2025. The BSE Power Index has fallen around 14% over the last year. Some major names have seen steep corrections, with Siemens dropping nearly 60%, while Thermax and ABB India declined by over 30%.
Other power stocks such as JSW Energy, Suzlon, Torrent Power, Power Grid Corporation, Tata Power, and NTPC have also delivered negative returns. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited is one of the few exceptions, recording modest gains.
Despite its strong long-term performance, the Adani Power share price is currently about 20% below its 52-week high of ₹182.70. The stock has slipped below its 50-day moving average but continues to trade above its long-term 200-day average, indicating mixed short-term momentum but underlying strength.
The recent correction followed weaker September quarter results and cautious sentiment across the power sector.
For the September quarter, Adani Power reported a year-on-year decline in net profit, while revenue remained broadly flat. However, the company’s long-term growth outlook continues to support investor confidence.
Adani Power is planning a significant capacity expansion over the coming years, with operational capacity expected to more than double. A large portion of both existing and upcoming capacity is backed by long-term power purchase agreements, which improves earnings visibility and stability.
The company is also funding most of its capital expenditure through internal accruals, which supports gradual debt reduction and healthier balance sheet metrics over time.

While short-term volatility remains, the Adani Power share price continues to reflect relative strength in a struggling sector. Its long-term contracts, expansion plans, and balance sheet discipline position it better than many peers, making it a key stock to watch within the power sector.
