It is a 56% boost compared to Rs 24.74 billion against last year. In FY22, the cash profit of the firm stood at Rs 12.92 billion, a 47% year-on-year (YoY) growth, supported by an enhanced wind and solar capacity utilisation factor (CUF), important capacity addition of 2,460 MW, and its auction win to sign the largest green power purchase agreement (PPA) globally with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
