PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Improvement in the indigenous fuel supply along with use of imported fuel for reactors under safeguards resulted in higher average capacity factor of about 61% as against 50% for the previous year. Electricity generation, as per the billing cycle, in 2009-10 has been 18798 Million kWh (MUs) as against 14921 MUs in 2008-09 showing an increase of 26%. The revenue realisation has been maintained at a high level of 99.8%. The tariffs for TAPS-3and4 were provisionally fixed prior to the commercial operation based on the sanctioned cost. However, the project has been completed earlier than the scheduled time, resulting in reduction of total project cost. In addition to the reduced construction period, changed debt equity structure from 1:1 to 2:1 and effective financing arrangement mainly contributed in reducing the construction cost of the project and in turn reduced the final tariff, which was based on actual completed cost of project. The reduced final tariff was made effective retrospectively from the date of commencement of commercial operation. This downward revision in tariffs for TAPP-3and4 has resulted in the reduction in revenue by Rs. 2340 millions, which includes Rs. 1990 millions pertaining to earlier years (prior period item). Similarly, there has been a reduction of tariff for RAPS-2, 3 and 4 effective from December 2008 affecting the revenue by Rs. 1590 millions.

 

The prior period adjustments amounting to Rs. 2140 Millions consist of Rs. 1990 Millions relating to tariff reduction of TAPS-3and4 and the balance Rs. 150 Millions pertains to net off other prior period items.

 

KAPS-1 and NAPS-2 remained shut down for Enmasse Coolant Channel Replacement (EMCCR) activities during the year. NAPS-2 activities have since been completed and the unit is awaiting fuel loading.

 

With the commissioning of RAPS-5and6 units (2 X 220 MW) during the year, the number of Nuclear Power Reactors in operation in the country has increased to 19 with a total installed capacity of 4560 MW including RAPS-1 (100 MW) owned by the Government and operated by NPCIL.

 

The revenue from sale of power generated from wind farm at Kudankulam during the year 2009-10 was Rs. 74.600 Millions The provision for taxation during the year is Rs. 580 Millions. The amount received towards Decommissioning levy and interest on Research and Development (R and D), Renovation and Modernisation (RandM) and Decommissioning levy has not been considered as income of the Company. These funds are held by NPCIL on behalf of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the Decommissioning levy is recovered based on a statutory notification issued by the DAE. However, the Income Tax Tribunal has decided that the levies and interest earned on these funds be treated as income of the company, an appeal has been filed in the Honorable High Court of Maharashtra, Mumbai. During the year, the Company has appropriated Rs. 200 Millions from these funds towards the income tax, if finally, payable on these levies.

 

The Company, inspite of its operational exigencies, has been able to optimize its efficiency and has been able to achieve a net profit of Rs. 4160 Millions after tax. The Company has adopted Accounting Standard – 22 “Taxes on Income” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) with effect from 2007-08. The accumulated net deferred tax liability as on March 31, 2010 was Rs. 18460 Millions on account of timing differences between book and tax profits. Since Income tax payable on income from generation of power is recoverable from the beneficiaries, the amount of deferred tax, so recognized, is recoverable on becoming a part of the current tax. Therefore, such deferred tax is considered as recoverable and netted from such deferred tax liability / expense.

 

 

CAPITAL

There was no addition to the paid up share capital during the year. The Company has not drawn any budgetary support from the Government of India. The total paid-up capital continued to be Rs. 101450 Millions as on 31st March 2010, against the Authorised Capital of Rs. 150000 Millions.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

India’s Power Sector

The Indian economy has been growing steadily in the range of 8 - 9% in the recent past and is expected to maintain its status as one of the fastest economies in the world with long term GDP growth estimated to be around 9%. Driven by strong economic growth, energy consumption in India has been growing over the last two decades. Government of India forecasts that the growth of per capita electricity consumption in India is expected to rise about four times from 700 KWh to 2500 KWh in the next 25 years.

 

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Role of NPCIL

In India, nuclear power generation commenced as a government activity and it entered the commercial domain in 1987 with the formation of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, a public sector enterprise under the aegis of Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. NPCIL has attained maturity in the first stage of nuclear power programme. Today, NPCIL is unique in having comprehensive capacity in the various facets of nuclear technology viz. site selection, design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance and life extension of nuclear power plants.

 


Nuclear Power Plant Operations

Starting with six reactors in 1987, NPCIL now has a fleet of 19 reactors in operation and three in advanced stages of construction. NPCIL owns and operates 18 nuclear power reactors, in addition to operating Rajasthan Atomic Power Station Unit-1 (100 MW PHWR) owned by the DAE. The Company has to its credit more than 320 reactor years of safe operation of nuclear power plants. A very high availability factor, the hallmark of operational efficiency of a nuclear power plant, sets apart the nuclear power reactors of NPCIL. In the year 2009-10, NPCIL reactors achieved a weighted average availability factor of 92%. The generation and Capacity Factor during the financial year were 18831 MU (inclusive of infirm generation of 25 MUs from RAPS-5 and 3 MUs from RAPS-6) and 61% respectively as against 14927 MUs and 50% respectively last year. Thus an increase in generation by 26% over the last year resulting from improved fuel availability has been achieved. MAPS-2 with a continuous operation of 431 days (25th January 2009 to 31st March 2010) joined four more reactors which had, in the past, operated continuously for more than a year.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Outlook

In view of the improved performance, strategic and tactical planning, nuclear power programme ahead to realise the faster nuclear power capacity addition the outlook is bright for NPCIL. Fuel by itself is not a major cost element for a nuclear power plant; but supply mismatch can undermine these large capital investments. There has been an improvement in domestic fuel availability over the last year, though still much short of the requirement. However, with the improved fuel availability from domestic and international sources (for reactors under safeguards in accordance with the Separation Plan) and the construction of three reactors under advanced stages of completion, the generation is expected to increase progressively in future. With the addition of capacity of 220 MW by completion of Kaiga-4 and KK-1and2 and the improved fuel availability, leading to higher CFs, the financial performance of the company will witness a quantum jump, enabling it to take up the large expansion program. The start of KAPP-3and4 and RAPP-7 and 8 together with ‘in principle’ approval of sites for a capacity of about 36000 MW provide the necessary basis for launch of large nuclear power expansion. New projects are expected to be launched in the year 2010-11 and beyond.
