The Company earned profit before tax (PET) of Rs. 2600.000 Millions in FY10 as compared to Rs. 2230.000 Millions in FY 09 reflecting a growth of 16% over previous year. The Profit after tax (PAT) for FY 10 is Rs. 3510.000 Millions as compared to Rs. 1710.000 Milions in FY 09.The Profits for FY 10 include Revenues amounting to Rs. 6730.000 Millions (Rs. 40.000 Millions in FY 09) to be recovered through future tariffs. This amount reflects the shortfall (termed as 'Revenue Gap' in Regulatory parlance) in the Company's revenues billed at current tariffs and those chargeable by it to its consumers based on costs incurred during the year. The same have been recognized as Income of the Current Year on basis of accrual system of accounting which requires revenues to be recognized in the year to which they pertain, even though realisable in future, so long as the same are quantifiable and there is certainty of ultimate recovery.

 

Against a Revenue Surplus of Rs. 2340.000 Millions estimated by DERC for FY 10, a Revenue Gap of Rs. 6730.000 Millions resulted largely on account of following:

 

a. Extra ordinary increase in power purchase cost from existing plants at regulated prices, due to substantial increase in coal prices (impact of Rs. 2720.000 Millions);

 

b. Lower supply from existing plants/ new generating stations, by 1076 MUs, as compared to that projected by DERC;

 

c. Higher procurement of power from costlier bitateral sources due to (b) above;

 

d. Much lower quantum of power available for sale outside the State also due to (b) above, as well as lower sale rate than estimated by DERC (aggregate impact of b, c and d : Rs. 4570.000 Millions.) As a result, the actual average power purchase cost for FY 10 was Rs. 3.68 per unit as opposed to Rs. 2.63 per unit that was projected by DERC which was much lower than NDPLs original estimate of Rs. 3.13 per unit.

 

e. The Company provided/ paid out arrears of VI Pay Commission amounting to Rs. 860.000 Millions, which were not factored by DERC in the tariff determination for FY 10;

 

f. The DERC also over-estimated Revenues for FY 10 by around Rs. 920.000 Millions in i t s tariff determination by considering higher average billing rates.

 

The delay in recovery of this Revenue Gap (having arisen due to factors outside the control of NDPL) through appropriate adjustment in tariffs has had an adverse effect on the liquidity of the Company; any further delay in recovery may impact the Company's Capital and Operating Expenditure programs.

 

For speedy recovery of this large revenue gap Company has filed a true up petition with DERC for FY 2009-10 and has also represented to GoNCTD so that a cost reflective tariff is determined by DERC and cash health of the Company i s not adversely affected. The Company has also filed a separate petition for implementation of a quarterly power purchase price adjustment mechanism, which would ensure that such large variations (gaps/ surpluses) due to increase/ decrease in costs vis-a-vis approved estimates do not accumulate in future, and get passed on to the consumers on a timely basis.

 

The current year profit also includes an exceptional credit of Rs. 210.000 Millions at Profit after Tax (PAT) level towards truing up of the previous years and Rs. 1390.000 Millions on account of write back of Deferred Tax as the same is adjustable in future tariff on becoming part of current tax. After adjusting the above two items, the normalised PAT for the year 09-10 is Rs. 1910.000 Millions as against PAT of Rs. 1710.000 Millions in 08-09 thereby reflecting a growth in PAT of 12% over FY 09

 

OPERATIONS

 

During the period, the company purchased 6911 Million units (MUS) (Previous year 6370 MUs) of energy and recovered amounts equivalent to 5896 MUs (Previous year 5388 MUs) of energy resulting in an AT and C loss of 14.68% (Previous year 15.41%). Rs. 250.000 Millions was paid by Delhi Jal Board in the previous year to Delhi Power Company Limited towards arre3ars for the period prior to privatization of erstwhile DVB. If the privatization of erstwhile DVB. If the privatization of erstwhile DVB. If the same were to be excluded previous year’s AT and C on a like basis work out to 16.23% as against 14.68% in current year. With an objective of further reduction in AT and C losses, improvement in system reliability, meeting the growth requirements and implementation of critical priority area projects, capital expenditure of about Rs. 4667.000 Millions was incurred and capitalized towards various schemes in line with the approvals accorded by DERC. The Cumulative Capital Expenditure (Capex) capitalized till 31" March 2010 was Rs. 24660.000 Millions.

 

Operations at CENter of NETwork Operations (CENNET), the state of art and integrated Supervisory Control and

Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for operating and controlling the entire Power System Network have further stabilized over the year.

 

CENNET receives information from all grid stations and distribution substations for real-time control, supervision and monitoring of the power network at 66kV, 33 kV and 11 kV distribution network.

 

The Reliability of NDPLs network continues to be around 99%. Average System Availability Index (ASAI) improved from 98.69% in FY 08 to 99.21% in FY 09 with a marginal decline to 98.71% in FY 10. The decline in FY 10 was primarily due to the unprecedented increase in ambient temperatures during the summers of FY 10 which led to very high increase in energy drawasl resulting in severe loading of the network.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

 

INDUSTRYSTRUCTUREAND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Company operates in the distribution segment of the Electricity Sector and is governed by the provisions of Electricity Act, 2003. The sector i s regulated by the CERC (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission) (for inter State Generation 8 Transmission) and SERCs (State Electricity Regulatory Commission) (for lntra State Generation1 Transmission/ Distribution). Consequently, regulations issued by the DERC are applicable to the Company.

 

The distribution sector has been historically bedeviled by high AThC losses leading to a perpetual sickness of SEBs.

 

In order to improve efficiency of the sector and accountability of individual segments of the value chain viz. Generation, Transmission and Distribution, most of the SEBs have been unbundled into functional entities Et corporative, with the eventual objective of privatization of at least the Distribution entities in order to bring about autonomy in their functioning and introduce best practices. However, after privatization of Distribution in Orissa and Delhi, no further progress has been made on the same.However, State Governments are only pursuing the Franchisee Model, whereby long term 0 and M contract(s) for particular areas are tendered to private parties. The Franchisee Contracts are generally being offered for 10 to 15 years based on "Input based Franchisee Model" wherein a fixed period franchise of a designated area is offered based on the per unit power purchase rate committed to be paid by the successful franchisee to licensee i.e. State Utility giving out the Franchise, for the period of Franchise. Franchisees for some cities / towns in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have been awarded with some other States such as Karnataka, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, etc. under various stages of planning/ tendering.

 

Given the relatively short, fixed tenure Franchisee contracts, the Franchisee route is only a half hearted attempt in bringing improvement in distribution since the short tenure does not inspire sufficient confidence in investors to plan and execute strategies that shall ensure long term sustainable benefits.

 

High Aggregate Technical Et Commercial (AT and C) Losses remain the key area of concern in the Distribution Sector. The country-wide ATBC Losses, which were over 35% five years back are still hovering around 30%.With the initiative of the Government of India and of the States, the Accelerated Power Development Et Reform Programme (APDRP) was launched in 2001 for the strengthening of Sub - Transmission and Distribution network and reduction in ATE and C losses. The APDRP has been restructured (now called "R-APDRP") by the Government of India in August 2008 with an outlay of Rs. 500000.000 Millions. For implementation in towns and cities with a population of more than 30,000. 50% of the funding shall be made available and/ or converted to a non interest bearing/ non refundable Grant on achievement of measurable targets. Presently, around 1400 Towns and Cities across India have been sanctioned a little less than Rs. 50000.000 Millions. out of which around Rs. 12000.000 Millions have already been disbursed. Loss Levels at 15% and lower are targeted to be reached by end of the XIth  Plan (FY 12) for the towns/ cities covered under the R-APDRP.

 

While the R-APDRP is a significant initiative of the Government of India to accelerate operational efficiencies of Distribution Utilities, private utilities have been presently kept out of the ambit of the Program thereby depriving them the benefit of cheaper financing by way of Grants which would have resulted in lower investment servicing costs and consequently lower tariffs for their consumers. The present scheme provides for a relook at this policy (of excluding Private Utilities from this scheme) at the end of two years of its implementation (August 2010). The scheme needs to be suitably amended to include such private utilities so that the benefits offered can be extended to consumers of such utilities also.

 

In order to address challenge of Climate Change, the Government of India has released a National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) pursuant to which the National Solar Mission and the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency have been instituted.

 

The Solar Mission targets deployment of 20,000 MW of solar power by 2022 with 1000 MW of grid-connected solar power generation being added by 2013 and an additional 3000 MW by 2017.The necessary Regulatory Framework has been instituted with the CERC announcing attractive tariffs for Solar power projects as well as the necessary Regulations for trading in Renewable Energy Certificates.

 

The National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency is working on developing a structure and a market for trading of Energy Efficiency Certificates. It is also working on Regulations and mechanisms that would help finance demand side management programs in all sectors by capturing future energy savings. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency has launched the Bachat Lamp Yojana which promotes replacement of inefficient bulbs with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) by leveraging the sale of Certified Emission Rights (CERs), the proceeds of which, shall go towards subsidizing the cost of CFLs.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

While NDPL has been consistently overachieving the Statutory/ Regulatory Targets for AT and C loss reduction thereby brin2ing significant benefits to the sector.. Further incremental reduction is increasingly slow due to already low loss levels.

 

Ensuring that all legitimate costs are recovered speedily through cost reflective tariffs i s becoming a challenge. While fixation of tariffs is in the domain of DERC, the Company is continuously working on finding ways and means to mitigate the impact of increasing input costs, primarily power purchase costs which constitute over 80%

of total distribution costs, on retail tariffs. The reduction in ATandC Losses by the Company much below the Regulator stipulated levels is the single largest initiative which has helped in keeping the tariffs for domestic consumers at very competitive levels compared with other Metropolitan cities as well as neighboring towns as is reflected in the table below.

 

The consumers have however not experienced any significant reduction in tariffs due to inordinate increase in power purchase costs over the year (specially in FY 09-10 when the effective per unit costs went up from Rs. 2.631 unit in FY 2008-09 to Rs. 3.681 unit in FY 09-10), and secondly, due to the yearly tariffs carrying legacy of past unrecovered costs.

 

Sustaining profitability and ensuring its growth in a continuously evolving and increasingly stringent regulatory framework which would entail higher expenditure to meet rising expectations while simultaneously ensuring that tariffs remain at sustainable level; in-order to ensure consumer satisfaction and own sustainability, pose significant challenges and in some cases offer opportunities, which the Company is geared to both counter and exploit.
