According to reports, MERC (Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission) on Wednesday, 21 August 2013, allowed 57 paise extra per unit for power to be supplied over and above the 520 megawatts (MW) from Adani Power's Tiroda units 2 and 3 in Maharashtra's Gondia district.
MERC reportedly clarified this was a temporary relief over and above the levelised power purchase agreement (PPA) rate of Rs 2.642 per unit for power supplied from these units beyond the first 520 MW. The total generation capacity is 1,320 MW, reports added.
This temporary charge will be applicable either for a maximum of one year from Wednesday, 21 August 2013, or until a decision is taken on the recommendations by an in-house commitee, reports added.
Adani Power reported consolidated net loss of Rs 1198.29 crore in Q1 June 2013, higher than net loss of Rs 809.81 crore in Q1 June 2012. Total income rose 65.29% to Rs 2571.66 crore in Q1 June 2013 over Q1 June 2012. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) stood at Rs 424 crore as against loss of Rs 45 crore in Q1 June 2012.
Adani Power's net loss during the quarter was due to MTM provision for rupee depreciation, non-cash items like depreciation, provision for deferred tax and higher import of coal due to limited availability of domestic coal.
