Delays in signing PPAs by renewable energy implementing agencies (SECI, NTPC, NHPC) are delaying project funding opportunities. While REC only funds projects with signed PPAs, this constrains the near-term pipeline growth.
State utilities like MAHAGENCO are seeking financing at sub-9% rates with 6-year moratoria for conventional thermal projects. This could compress margins if REC competes aggressively for market share in the projected 50,000-55,000 MW opportunity.
Post-commissioning, renewable project sponsors are monetizing equity and refinancing assets, leading to elevated prepayment rates. This could temporarily impact loan book growth, though management noted refinancing activity is offset by taking over commissioned assets from other lenders.
While bidding is completed for four operating assets, final NCLT orders are still pending. Management expects orders 'may come in Q4, may not come in Q4, may go to the next financial year.' This delays the INR 2,200 crore provision reversal recognition.
