Reliance Power, a company controlled by billionaire Anil Ambani, has posted a 22 per cent rise in net profit at Rs 240 crore (Rs196 crore) for the quarter ended June 30.
The company’s operational revenue was up 110 per cent at Rs 1,136 crore (Rs 542 crore) on the back of all four units of its 1,200 MW Rosa plant (Uttar Pradesh) becoming operational as against two units of 300 MW in the corresponding quarter of last year.
Addressing mediapersons, J.P. Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, said the company’s Rosa plant operated at 81 per cent plant load factor (PLF), generating two billion units against 1.19 billion million units logged in the same period last year.
On the 2,400-MW Samalkot project, he said like price pooling of coal with imported coal, gas should come about. With price pooling it was possible to run the plant at 70 per cent PLF and ensure recovery of the debt service cost. For this to happen, power tariff should be in the range of Rs 4.5-5 a unit.
RINFRA NET FLAT
Reliance Infrastructure (RInfra) posted a 1.72 per cent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 412 crore (Rs 405 crore) in the June quarter.
A large number of the company’s projects have already been completed and major ones were nearing completion, resulting in the flat growth in net profits, RInfra Chief Executive Officer Lalit Jalan told reporters.
Total income rose four per cent to Rs 5,383 crore, against Rs 5,176 crore logged in the same period last year.
On Tuesday, R Power scrip ended near flat at Rs 93.05 and Rinfra closed 1.53 per cent up at Rs 528.95, on the BSE.

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.
We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
But all this comes at a heavy cost. As you are aware, the lockdowns have wiped out almost all our entire revenue stream. Sustaining our quality journalism has become extremely challenging. That we have managed so far is thanks to your support. I thank all our subscribers – print and digital – for your support.
I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy. You can help us enormously simply by subscribing to our digital or e-paper editions. We offer several affordable subscription plans for our website, which includes Portfolio, our investment advisory section that offers rich investment advice from our highly qualified, in-house Research Bureau, the only such team in the Indian newspaper industry.
