It explained that the higher profitability was driven by robust contribution from Acquired RE portfolio, merchant sales and hydro truing up impact, meaning better output.
During the quarter, total revenue increased 30 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to Rs 3,387 crore from Rs 2,596 crore in the year-ago period due to incremental revenue from renewable, portfolio and strong thermal performance on the back of a buoyant merchant market, it stated.
Net (power) generation during the quarter under review stands at 8,638 million units, up 29 per cent y-o-y driven by generation at acquired RE portfolio and higher thermal generation, partly offset by lower generation at hydro assets, it stated.
Total long-term sales in the quarter increased by 22 per cent y-o-y driven by higher generation at Ratnagiri (Unit-1) and RE capacity additions while short-term sales surged to 735 million units, it stated.
