BUSINESS UPDATE
Financial Performance (April - September 2009)
The first six months of the current year has witnessed stable performance in line with expectations. The second half could witness enhanced Revenue and profits on account of operations of the existing power plants as well as commissioning of the VS Lignite (135 MW) and Wardha Warora (540 MW) assets besides achievement of critical development milestones for earning development fee.
Consolidated Revenue has marginally increased to Rs 2798 mn as against Rs 2574 mn for H1 of previous year on account of the following:
Business Update
The first six months of the current year reflects a good operating performance of the power plants under operations and sustained effort to complete construction and commission the VS lignite and Wardha Power asset in Warora, Maharashtra. Also, the company has made extensive progress on the development of the 3600 MW Chattisgarh power project on various fronts and expecting the Contractor to begin construction works at site shortly.
Operating Assets:
On a standalone basis, among the three operating power plants, both Arasmeta (43 MW) and Sitapuram (43 MW) have recorded PLF of 85% while Sai Regency continued to operate around 68% PLF. Efficient operations and robust sale realization from surplus sale ( on short PPAs) from these assets have enabled enhanced performance as highlighted below:
The company expects to maintain this momentum for a substantially good full year results from these operating assets
Construction Assets to commission - VS Lignite and Wardha Power
The period under review has witnessed substantial construction progress and completion of erection works of the Boiler, Turbine and Generator with respect to both VS Lignite and Wardha Warora projects. We are pleased to note that having completed construction, both the 135 MW at VS lignite and first and second 135 MW unit at Wardha Warora are ready for necessary activity to synchronize, commission the asset and undertake power generation as expected.
Recently guidelines of the Government of India has required the commissioning engineers needed for our power plants (who are overseas engineers) to enter India only under Employment visas. Both the VS Lignite and the Wardha Power plants are ready and would need 30 to 45 days from the time of arrival of the Chinese commissioning engineers for synchronization. Government of India is aware of this issue and we are expecting these visas on an early date.
Wardha Chhattisgarh, 3600 MW
Wardha Chattisgarh has witnessed substantial progress during the last six months on various areas including amongst others, land acquisition, progress on tie-up of the project debt, equity commitments from various government stakeholders at the power plant level, EPC contractor and commencement of site works as well as obtainment of Environment Clearance. The company has appointed various agencies to assist in the project implementation and currently finalizing various non-EPC works that are expected to complete around the same time the first unit of 600 MW is expected to commission in 2012.
Further, the company is currently undertaking a Scheme of Demerger pursuant to which warora power plant would continue in the Wardha Power Company Limited SPV while the Chhattisgarh power project is planned to be undertaken in a newly incorporated SPV company "KSK Mahanadi Power Company Limited".
