ReNew Energy Global net profit jumps 7-fold to $7 mn in March quarter

ReNew Energy Global Plc on Thursday said its net profit jumped seven-fold to USD 7 million in the January-March quarter of FY24 due to higher income and reduced expenses. The total revenue for the latest fourth quarter decreased by 4.4 per cent to USD 297 million, down from USD 311 million in the same period in the preceding fiscal, according to a company statement. The company attributed the fall in revenue to lower earnings from its transmission projects. The company's net profit for the entire financial year stood at USD 50 million, compared to a net loss of USD 60 million in FY23. The clean energy major registered an 8.1 per cent jump in its total revenue to USD 1,158 million in FY24 from USD 1,072 million in FY23. The company said that the record profits were registered despite a marginal fall in the weighted average Plant Load Factor (PLF) for the reporting quarter as well as the financial year due to lower radiation and wind speeds. While the PLF for FY24 was 26.4 per cent

Interest rates for renewable power must be brought down: Assocham president

Assocham president Sumant Sinha has called for bringing down interest rates for the industry, especially for the domestic renewables sector, which is seeing high rates of 8-10 per cent compared to 3-4 per cent in the western markets. On his expectations from the government for the domestic power and renewable energy sectors in the upcoming budget, Sinha said interest rates should be brought down for the rate-sensitive sector. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to present the budget on February 1. "Bring down the interest rates because ours is a very interest rate-centric sector. ...it is high compared to what you pay in other parts of the world. In India, the rate is in the range of 8 per cent to 9.5 per cent for the industry and (specifically) in power and renewables (sectors) it is 8-10 per cent," Sinha, who is also the Chairman of ReNew Power told PTI in an interview. "In the western world, rates are 3 to 4 per cent." Sinha said every 1 percentage point increase i
