| JSW Energy Q3 net down 93% to Rs 21 crore
JSW Energy
today reported a 93 percent fall in its consolidated net profit at Rs
21.39 crore for the third quarter of this fiscal due to lower power
generation.
It posted a net profit after taxes, minority interest and share of
profit of associates of Rs 21.39 crore for the quarter ended December
31, 2016, as against Rs 309.25 crore a year ago, the company said in a BSE filing.
Total income was Rs 1,954.83 crore, down from Rs 2,627.04 crore in the
same period a year ago due to the decrease in turnover, primarily on
account of lower generation coupled with lower tariff.
It said during the quarter, net (power) generation was down by 23 per
cent compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year
primarily on account of poor power demand across all thermal plants,
besides shutdown of one unit of 300 MW at Ratnagiri due to turbine
vibrations.
Its net power generation was 4,644 million units in the third quarter as
against 6,052 million units in same quarter of the previous year.
The merchant sales during the quarter were 699 million units (15 per
cent of volume), while the sales under long term power purchase
agreements were 3,863 million units (85 per cent of volume).
Consolidated net worth and consolidated net debt as of December 31, 2016
were Rs 10,205 crore and Rs 14,134 crore respectively, resulting in a
net debt to equity ratio of 1.38 times.
On the outlook for the industry, the company said that the gauge of
industrial activities is appearing to show an uptick, although the
consistency of growth is critical in the backdrop of demonetisation and
weak PMI.
Continued low inflation and softening interest rates are expected to
provide necessary impetus to economic activities in the coming quarters.
Focus on strong public spending on infrastructure and development
projects in the forthcoming budget should boost the investment cycle and
consequently, the energy demand, it said.
In a separate filing, the company told the BSE that its board has
decided raise Rs 1,000 crore through issuance of redeemable
non-convertible debentures on private placement.
The company also said that its Director-Finance and Chief Financial
Officer Pramod Menon has put in his papers and will relinquish office on
January 31, 2017.
It said that the board in its meeting today appointed Jyoti Kumar
Aggarwal as Chief Financial Officer from February 1, 2017.
The company has also said that Karcham Wangtoo Hydro project of Himachal
Baspa Power Company Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary, has filed petition
for determination of final tariff with Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission (CERC) and pending the receipt of final tariff order, the
revenue from sale of power under long term power purchase agreements are
being recognised in terms of expected tariff as per the available
guideline in this regard.
The hydro projects were acquired during September 2015.
Hence, figures for the corresponding nine months ended of the previous
year are not comparable, it added.
