Rupee depreciation of 7-8% (from ~86 to ~90/USD) increased gas costs by ₹2-2.5/SCM, partially offsetting regulatory benefits. Further depreciation could pressure margins.
Management deferred price increases to avoid volatility, delaying the full benefit of transmission tariff rationalization. If not passed through quickly, margin improvement may be slower than guided.
Management noted that high penalties on existing GAs make M&A unattractive, limiting inorganic growth opportunities despite interest from potential acquirers.
