PRESS RELEASE

 

INDIA RATINGS UPGRADES MAITHON POWER’S BANK LOANS TO ‘IND A’/STABLE

 

India Ratings-Mumbai-20 February 2013: India Ratings has upgraded Maithon Power Limited’s (MPL) INR31,150m (outstanding: INR28,743.8m) senior project term loans to ‘IND A’ from ‘IND A-’. MPL's INR2,410m (increased from INR 1,500) fund-based working capital limits and INR1,250m (reduced from INR 2,150m) non-fund-based facilities, comprising bank guarantees of INR1,000m and a letter of credit of INR250m, have also been upgraded to ‘IND A’ from ‘IND A-’ . The Outlooks are Stable.

 

India Ratings has also assigned MPL’s additional project term loan of INR5,990m a rating of ‘IND A’ with Stable Outlook. Also, the expected ratings on INR6,000m term loan and INR1,500m non-fund-based stand-by letter of credit have been withdrawn since loan agreements have been executed for the modified amount.

 

The upgrade reflects the mitigation of residual completion risk in the project with the commissioning of unit 2 during July 2012, balance land acquisition for railway siding and a tie up of funding for cost overrun. Also, fuel supply risk has been reasonably mitigated with the conclusion of a fuel supply agreement (FSA) with Central Coal Fields (CCL, 43% of the total requirement). Both units have for the two months ended January 2013 been operating at near expected levels after unit 1 operated at sub-optimal levels during H1CY12 due to the teething problems with the boiler turbine and generator and balance of plant equipment.

 

The upgrade also factors in the introduction of a sponsor undertaking in the amended loan agreement that requires them to provide additional funds, if necessary, to enable the project meet debt obligations until the plant stabilises and financial convents are met for the first time. The primary sponsor, the Tata Power Company Limited (Tata Power), infused a subordinated debt of INR1,230m in FY12 to meet the project’s debt obligations. Furthermore, Tata Power has agreed to provide a subordinated loan of up to INR1,890m to MPL. The creation of a 90 days’ debt service reserve account covering both principal and interest payments in form a bank guarantee arranged by the sponsors provides structural strength to the credit.

 

On the basis of unaudited, provisional results for 9MFY13, MPL reported an EBITDA of INR3,231m on revenue of INR11,201m. The performance was lower than expected due to the sub-optimal operating performance of unit 1 because of prolonged stabilisation issues, under recovery of fixed capacity charges for 300MW due to Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd.’s refusal to procure its share of contracted power and the project’s inability to sell balance power through the merchant route on account of grid constraints. The project is booking revenue on the provisional project cost for the regulated portion of 750MW pending approval from Central Electricity Regulatory Commission of the new tariff order incorporating part of the cost overrun. Inordinate delays in the receipt of the final tariff order could continue to exert pressure on debt service coverage ratios.

 

Of the untied capacity of 300MW, MPL is in advanced stages of tying up 150MW of power with one of the existing off-takers, West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited through Tata Power Trading Company (IND BBB+/ Stable) on a regulated return basis, effective April 2013. As for the balance 150 MW, India Ratings believes that given the competitive cost of generation for the project and the continued power deficit in the country, the project should be able to tie up power sales on a long term basis in a reasonable frame of time.

MPL has signed an FSA with CCL with a supply commitment of 1.975MTPA. However, FSA does not provide assurance about coal grade and penalty in case of supply shortfall doesn’t adequately protect the economic interest of the project. Grade slippages and possible supply rationing by the CIL subsidiaries (CCL and Bharat Coking Coal Limited) may compel MPL to explore alternative and expensive sources of coal to declare plant availability as per the regulatory norms, potentially leading to downward pressure on the ratings in the medium term. That being said, the agency notes that this is a systemic problem facing the sector and MPL's off-take contracts allow fuel cost pass-through.

 

Refinancing risk arises from the structure of amortisation of the bank debt which involves a 50% bullet repayment at the end of 10 years. However, the long residual useful life of the plant and the strong sponsors help mitigate this risk.

 

Variable interest rates for term loans (base rate+375 bps) with an annual reset introduce volatility to the project’s cash flows. Current cost of financing for the term loan is 13.45%.

 

Future rating movements would be governed by satisfactory selling arrangements in respect of the residual capacity of 150MW, sustained operating performance of the plant in line with the rating case (PAF: 85%) and receipt of regulatory tariff order reflecting the higher project cost.

 

MPL is an SPV created to develop, own and operate a power facility (two 525MW coal-fired sub-critical technology-based thermal power plants) in Jharkhand. It is a 74:26 JV between Tata Power and the state-owned Damodar Valley Corporation (‘IND AA-’/Negative), with the former providing project management services and responsible for operations and maintenance.

 

 

MAITHON PLANT OFF TO FLYING START

 

Dhanbad, July 25: Maithon Power Limited (MPL), the first public-private-partnership greenfield power project in the country, has become fully operational to its total capacity of 1,050MW with major stakeholder Tata Power announcing commissioning of the 525MW second unit on Tuesday.

 

The first unit, also of 525MW, started functioning last September.

 

Maithon Power Limited is located about 45km from Dhanbad district headquarters, about 250km from Jamshedpur and about 25km from Asansol in Bengal.

 

The Rs 5,000-crore project — a joint venture between Tata Power and Damodar Valley Corporation (74:26) — will supply power to three states, Bengal, Punjab and Jharkhand, besides Delhi and also Damodar Valley Corporation. Of the total 1,050MW produced, Jharkhand is to get around 25 per cent, which works to around 250MW.

 

There is also an agreement with BCCL and CCL for purchase of coal. Notably, each unit consumes around 5,000 tonne of coal per day.

 

A press release issued by Tata Power, Mumbai office, on Tuesday evening blamed the delay in commissioning the second unit of the much-delayed plant on coal logistics and tie-up with companies for supply of the mineral.

Quoting managing director of Tata Power Limited Anil Sardana, the release said: “We are happy to declare the commercial operation of the second unit of Maithon Power Limited as the project reiterates the successful public-private-partnership in power generation in the country.”

 

Chief executive officer of Maithon Power Limited Bhaskar Sarkar, on the other hand, said operation of the second unit was a significant milestone despite challenges like unavailability of coal.

 

 

TATA POWER COMPANY LIMITED : TATA POWER’S JOINT VENTURE COMPANY MAITHON POWER LIMITED STARTS CONSTRUCTION OF ITS RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT

05/02/2013|

 

Maithon Power Limited (MPL), a 74:26 Joint Venture between Tata Power and Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC),  has successfully missioned both of the   2 x 525 MW coal-fired Units at Maithon.  Maithon Power Limited bears the testimony to execution of the  Group's first  ever Green-field Power Project in Eastern Region.  Incidentally, MPL is also credited with the first successful implementation of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Model in the field of Power Generation in India.

 

To ensure reliable coal supply for sustainable operations of the plant, MPL had planned a Railway Infrastructure Project spanning over 20.0 KMs, crossing the National Highway 2,  Dedicated Freight Corridor Line (DFCL) of Indian Railways and consisting of 25 numbers of Bridges and finally connecting with the Grand Chord Line of Eastern Railway at Thaparnagar and Mugma Stations which was approved by Railways in the year 2010.

 

While the part of the Merry-Go-Round (MGR) bulb inside the Plant Area is in an advanced stage of pletion, the major portion of the work, lying outside the premises of MPL  and passing through 12 villages could not be started owing to land acquisition issuesand certain concerns raised by Eastern Railways. Due to this, the Company was pelled to bring the entire coal by road to run the 1025 MW plant since missioning of both the units in July 2012.

 

After rigorous persuasion and garnering active support from local munities, opinion leaders, District Administration authorities, Land & Revenue Department, Government of Jharkhand, Eastern Railway etc., MPL had paved the way for successful initiation of the work outside the Plant premises.

 

After resolution of all issues, the Railway Infrastructure Project execution work outside the MPL Premises has been started in full swing on the Raiyati land from the Tulsibhita Mouza on 26th April, 2013.   This event was supported wholeheartedly by members of the surrounding village, President- Rehabilitation &Resettlement mittee along with the members of the Railway Bisthapith Committee.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Bhaskar Sarkar, CEO, MPL expressed that "the initiation of construction of Railway Infrastructure of MPL marks the end of three years of strenuous efforts, perseverance and dedication of the team to patiently resolve each issue through rounds of negotiations & discussions to convince all stakeholders to arrive at a consensus. It also would contribute towards sustainable operations of the Plant and significant reduction of air and noise pollution in the area caused by transportation of coal by road."

 

Mr. Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Station Head, MPL mented "This is a very proud moment for MPL to have full support of the munity in undertaking the most difficult task. This event has got immense significance for Maithon Station and its future expansion plan. I am confident that we are steadily moving towards a successful Railway Project execution and also establishing a benchmark in munity engagement with villages around our areas of operation."

Mr. CB Singh, Head-Special Projects added "Amidst, several hurdles and difficulties, this has been successful after series of discussions and our sustained efforts towards reaching a consensus keeping in mind the views of all stakeholders and rolling out agreed schemes".

 

The senior level authorities of Eastern Railway have also given in-principle approval to allow MPL to start execution of work towards the Mugma side which is also being planned once final approval is received.   

 

MPL has plans to bring in the first railway rake carrying coal by March, 2014.
