| This transaction will further bolster the substantial sum raised through asset recycling thus far and at the same time enhance the returns on capital deployed on projects |
| So for the new projects that we are commissioning, we are actually able to realize, given this new process that has now been imposed, as I said, for good reasons, but that is also therefore allowing us to generate higher profitability for a certain period of time by selling into the merchant market |
| We received multiple awards including the prestigious Terra Carta Seal for actively leading the charge to create a climate and nature positive future |
| The wind PLF during the quarter was 17% compared to 14.7% in the same quarter last year, bolstering our confidence about the recovery in the long-term wind PLF towards normalized levels |
| During the quarter, we saw significant improvement in wind PLF as compared to the prior comparable quarter |
| This expansion of the addressable renewable energy market has provided developers such as us the most favorable environment in the renewable energy sector that we have seen yet |
| Asset recycling effectively provides us with long-term growth capital at the cheapest possible cost of equity and thereby enabling us to grow while enhancing returns on capital |
| Turning to Page 10, our asset recycling program continues to see strong interest from international investors as well as domestic players |
| The on-ground progress remains strong as we have erected about 1.9 gigawatts of assets on the ground |
| Beyond the rise in tariffs, we saw several other factors that are supporting better returns, such as a record fall in the cost of solar modules, stable FX, adequate domestic debt financing and a significant reduction in receivable days |
| Turning to Page 7, our core strength lies in our ability to execute projects over time and on time, within budget and deliver initially expected returns |
| Our digital and AI platform, bundled with our experience in developing complex solutions, provides us with a significant advantage over others |
| Our in-house EPC and an integrated supply chain that ensures delivering large projects on time enable us to bid comparatively, securing higher returns |
| Turning to Page 6, our patient and selective approach in auctions has ensured that we are able to deliver superior returns on our projects |
| While our cash flow from operations has always been positive and growing, we believe that we are now at the scale needed to be profitable consistently on an annual basis and be able to showcase the full value of our platform |
| ReNew has clear competitive advantages in complex auctions and as a result our market share in these auctions is better than any of our peers |
| While the uptrend in wind PLF is encouraging and there is increasing evidence that wind speeds are recovering towards long-term normal levels, in the long-term, our guidance does not take this into consideration in an effort to remain consolidated |
| Our in-house wind EPC capability, our in-house digital labs and our ability to access the cheapest source of capital do ensure superior returns on our projects |
| For the quarter, the 17% wind PLF was a meaningful improvement over the 14.7% PLF in the prior comparable quarter and year-to-date the wind PLF was at 29.2% better than the wind PLF of 27.3% last year |
| As on the execution front, the year will see a significant increase in our operating portfolio as most of the under construction pipeline will become operational, providing top line and bottom line growth |
| Our growth trajectory remains robust as we won an additional 3.6 gigawatts of RE projects during the quarter, in a period when tariffs are rising, costs are falling and competition is near record lows, which underscores our ability to secure growth at attractive returns |
| We also received the World Economic Forum Lighthouse for the second time for our leadership in fourth industrial revolution technologies and highest category of recognition which is resilient by CII Climate Action Program which is CAP 2.0 |
| Turning to Page 9, interest from domestic lenders for our project continues to be strong |
| Firstly, the auction markets continue to propel larger number of auctions and better tariffs |
| I am proud to say that we were profitable for the trailing 12-month period with a profit of U.S |
| Our differentiated ability to do wind makes us stand out in a market where there are far fewer developers with this ability |
| We are pleased also to report that our DSOs, our days outstanding, have fallen below 100 days and stood at 86 days at the end of the quarter, marking a significant improvement of 92 days within the span of a year and an even greater improvement from the peak of 272 days only a couple of years ago |
| Through the refinancing, we were once again able to demonstrate how we have been able to provide long-term finance to our projects with interest rates at sub 9% |
| We are beginning to see real constraints emerging in getting access to interconnection hubs and this new business for us is beginning to provide considerable competitive advantages in bidding for new projects |
| Furthermore, there has been a notable enhancement in wind PLF this year |
| Statement |
|---|
| We point this out because last year, when all these factors were unfavorable and returns for new projects were much lower, our market share was a mere 3%, well below our normal market share of 10% or thereabouts |
| The subscription rate for new auctions has declined significantly this fiscal year and were the lowest on record this past quarter, often less than 100% of the capacity being auctioned for complex projects, resulting in auctions clearing pretty much at the initial bid offer |
| And that, in some ways, is delaying the commissioning of new projects for everybody, not just for us |
| In addition, supply related challenges that constrained us last year were resolved as our own manufacturing facility came online during the year |
| And lastly, if I may, the solar PLF this quarter is a little lower versus the last year, the same period |
| And therefore, actually, if I were to take a step back, our decision to postpone execution of projects in the last financial year was actually because module prices that time were $0.26 to $0.28, was actually quite on the money, because over the course of the last twelve months, module prices have fallen so much |
| And that is why you'll perhaps see that the amount of commissioning this year in the RE sector is at this point of the year lower than what would have been expected for the industry as a whole, largely because of these new connectivity and commissioning requirements that are sought to be now kept as a higher standard by the grid managers |
| We've gone through that and frankly, it's taken us almost three to four months to get some of these connectivity approvals, which used to take literally a month earlier, so all of that has actually caused some delays in connections to the grids and that is why you see that we are now, over the next month or so, going to be connecting a lot of projects into the grid |
| As the number of auctions has increased significantly, competition has tailed off a little bit, leading to the discovery of higher tariffs |
| And so I think for all of those reasons, the competitive intensity on any given project, on any given auction, has come down quite markedly |
| And then one question on the manufacturing front, your lines right now are Mono PERC, if I'm not wrong, right, in India, and we keep hearing increased oversupply on the TOPCon side brewing in Asia |
| One last question from my side is then on the pipeline side, I saw some delay in the RTC project |
| $43 million as compared to a loss of approximately U.S |
| So let me say that again, they've fallen to hit U.S |
| Firstly, modeling these projects is not easy |
| With over 40 gigawatts of projects auctioned in the current year, there have been several auctions that were undersubscribed |
| But that is something that, as I said, we'll have to really do some work on |
| There are risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements |
| Not only this, the share of complex projects went from 8% last year to about 38% this year, signaling a persistent shift towards complex projects |
