CapEx per MW for new thermal projects has risen beyond ₹12 crore due to mandatory air-cooled condensers and limited bidders.
Under-recovery increased to ₹495 crore in Q2 from ₹381 crore last year due to higher planned outages (6.12% vs 5.19%).
Some thermal projects (e.g., Gadarwara Stage-II) have only 68% PPA consent; balance expected in four months but could slip.
