III. Construction Philosophy


▪ As a matter of philosophy, AGEL de-risks it’s development in all phases of
Origination, Development & Construction. We identify resource rich land for
setting up renewable projects in advance. For instance, we have identified
over 2,00,000 acres of land, most of which is waste-land, across India to set-
up renewable projects. Similarly, we have a vendor relationship with over
20,000+ parties across India which ensures timely completion of the
projects we execute. We have de-risked our supply chain by having
relationships with Bloomberg Tier-1 module manufacturers, WTG & Inverter
suppliers etc. who have long-term tie-ups with us and in some case have
dedicated lines to manufacture equipment for our projects.
▪ All project development progress from conceptualization to commissioning
is monitored by a dedicated Planning Monitoring and Assurance Group
(PMAG) comprising of experts from all fields of Project Development.
▪ Further, we have de-risked our financing by diversifying the sources of
funding by tapping into USD bond market by raising to USD bonds. We have
tied up USD 1.64 bn revolving construction facility through construction
framework agreement under the ECB guidelines with international lenders.
▪ With the above-mentioned Construction Philosophy, AGEL has demonstrated
to Increase its Operational Portfolio.
▪ We have been able to operationalize a portfolio of ~ 8.1 GW up-to October
2022.

▪ Robust growth in revenues is driven by commissioning of 1,315 MW and


integration of SB Energy’s operating portfolio of 1,700 MW.

▪ Further, the state-of-the-art Energy Network Operation Center enables real time
monitoring of our entire renewable portfolio with information access to the
minutest level and automated alerts. With this analytics driven O&M approach,
the plant availability is maximized enabling higher electricity generation and
higher revenues. It also helps to curtail O&M costs in turn enabling high EBITDA
margins.

▪ The company hedged its 100% USD Bond exposure through Cross Currency
Swap (CCS) till maturity.
1. EBITDA from Power Supply = Revenue from Power Supply + Carbon credit income (part of Other Operating Income) + prompt payment
discount - Employee Benefit Expenses excluding overseas expenses – Other Expenses excluding loss on sale of assets and such one-
off expenses
2. Cash Profit = PAT + Depreciation + Deferred Tax + Exceptional Items + TOTAL Distribution (which is part of finance cost as per IndAS)
