Good afternoon, sir. My question, first question is related to the March quarter. The March quarter was a good qu311er from the revenue point of view and profitability point of view. So, my question is that whether there is any extra income received on account of the higher PLF or something like that or is the normal income only?
Management
Basically, Thermal and RE i.e. lines, sol31', wind, mining, SLPP. All have different kind of PAF/CUF . Let me explain you. See, all the payments which we are going to get from GUVNL based on the PPA, which are technically, categorically takes into consideration passed on yearly commercial availability of the stations. So, therein as per PPA, there are cel1ain other factors also, like fuel cost reimbursement on actual basis as per the commercial term ofPP A. So all these things have to be worked out, crystallized at the year end . Water ch31'ges, O&M charges, all these things 31'e being calculated on ye31'ly basis and based on that, this is a normal income only.
Megh Shah
But any outstanding income we are recogni zing this qu311er or for billing or only the normal income? Page 2 of24
Megh Shah
So can we expect this even run rate just for the next few quarters or there will be a dip in the next quatter because the quat·ter 4 repOlted the hi ghest revenue and highest profit of the FY23?
Management
Mr. Shah, as I explai ned to you, on yearly basis, there are celiain factors getting crystallized as per PP A. So we have to book accordingly. So accord ingly, it has been booked as a normal commercial income.
