Gross revenue during the first quarter was down 28 per cent at Rs 2,914 crore against Rs 4,030 crore in the same quarter last year.
The company’s performance was impacted due to lower power generation in its gas-based and coal power plants, hurdles in project execution, higher interest outgo and foreign exchange loss of Rs 220 crore.
The company has gross debt of Rs 35,394 crore. It has also piled up receivables of Rs 3,285 crore from state electricity boards.
