Risk intelligence
At INR 7.5/unit levelized tariff based on INR 28,000 crore CapEx, there is uncertainty whether CERC will allow full cost recovery given 20-25 year project timeline. Management is confident due to delays being beyond control, but analyst questioned whether beneficiaries may push for concessions.
Only 6,000 MW of PPAs signed out of 20,000 MW bid out. DISCOMs are hesitant due to connectivity timelines (29-30 months), preference for RTC/assured peak power over standalone solar, and inadequate demand planning. Management hopes to sign 2,000-3,000 MW more in 2-3 months.
71% physical progress achieved but headrace tunnel excavation facing severe geological issues causing slower progress. While management is confident of 2029 commissioning, any geological surprise could delay the project significantly given the sensitivity of underground works.
Only 80% of estimated revenue being recognized pending CERC tariff notification. This creates a timing difference where ~20% of revenue (approximately INR 225 crore for Parvati-II alone) is deferred, understating true profitability until regulatory approval.
