▪ 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-

▪ The reduction in CUF is primarily due to one-off disruption in transmission line (force
majeure) for 150 MW plant in Gujarat. Excluding the aforesaid 150 MW plant, the
Wind portfolio CUF stands at a strong 41.0%. The impact of this event in Q2 FY23 is
expected to be ~ 0.4% of the expected annual generation of the overall operational
capacity.

Q2 FY22 and have been integrated from Q1 FY23.
