Net profit in Q4 March 2015 was up at Rs 159 crore mainly due to lower depreciation & lower coal prices in company's wholly owned subsidiary, Coastal Gujarat Power (CGPL) and better performance of Mumbai operations. The profits for the quarter also include adverse forex impact at the South African Joint Venture-Cennergi. The impact of lower coal price realization were offset by better operational efficiencies of coal mines as well as forex gains on value added tax (VAT) related settlement during the year. Operating profit rose 28% at Rs 1408 crore in Q4 March 2015 over Q4 March 2014.
The board has recommended dividend of Rs 1.30 per share for the year ended 31 March 2015 (FY 2015).
