Profit declined mainly due to lower profit in Coal Companies owing to lower price realisation and higher cost of production, higher interest and depreciation cost due to commissioning of Mundra and Maithon units and reversal of revenues due to change in effective date of MYT regulations in Mumbai.
On consolidated segment-wise performance for the quarter, revenues from power business has increased by 30% at Rs. 4824.01 crore as compared to Rs. 3720.30 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. Revenue from Coal Business was up by 14% at Rs. 2265.04 crore as compared to Rs. 1990.69 crore in the corresponding period last year. PBIT from Power Business was at Rs. 578.24 crore as against Rs. 627.0 crore in the previous quarter last year, a reduction Rs. 155 crore mainly due to shifting of MYT regime to 2012-13 onwards in Mumbai. PBIT from Coal Business stood at Rs. 257.61 crore as compared to Rs. 750.07 crore reported in the corresponding quarter last year. Profits were lower in Coal Companies due to lower price realization and higher cost of production. Last year's PBIT was after capitalization of Rs. 210.65 crore of deferred stripping costs. From 1st Jan 2012 no capitalization of deferred stripping cost is being done.
Commenting on the Company's performance, Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power said, "During first quarter of FY13, the Company reported revenue growth of about 20% and profit growth of about 10% which is highly satisfying. All our projects and subsidiaries by and large have performed well. Tata Power's generation capacity crossed 6000 MW with commissioning of 800 MW unit 2 of the Mundra UMPP, reinforcing our position as the largest integrated power company in India. The Company crossed 11000 MWh of generation units at Mithapur Solar plant which is a significant milestone that demonstrates efficiency and state of art technology used at the plant. Our Coal Companies posted lower realization due to global economic slowdown and falling coal prices. By signing the coal supply agreement with PT Antang Gunung Meratus, we have taken proactive steps to ensure imported coal supply for our upcoming power projects to be developed for next 5 years."
