Effects of COVID-19 on the business of the Company

During fiscal 2022 India saw second and third waves of COVID-19 driven by the highlytransmissible Delta and Omicron COVID variants respectively. This led to a fresh set ofrestrictions in the country which impacted the economic activity although to a lowerextent as compared to the previous fiscal year. Global supply chain and logisticsdisruption container capacity constraints and geo-political tensions resulted in anincrease in the freight costs and delivery times and higher commodity prices (e.g.imported coal price).

Despite such a situation the Company’s plant operations continued to runsmoothly while ensuring adherence to necessary safety measures. As the majority of thepower generation capacity is tied-up under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) undera two- part tariff structure the Company in general continues to receive fixed capacitycharges based on availability which largely insulates it against any major swings inearnings. A majority of our power generating stations operated at a higher PLF during theyear. Although the Company witnessed higher imported coal prices especially towards theend of the year under review it did not have any material impact as fuel cost is apass-through in almost all PPAs. Further through effective receivables management theCompany ensured timely collection of receivables from its customers (State DistributionCompanies and Commercial S Industrial Consumers). Moreover despite COVID-19 relateddisruptions the Company completed the construction of its 225 MW utility scale solarproject in Vijayanagar Karnataka in a record time of less than 12 months.
