The PLF was higher despite annual overhaul and capital overhaul of 11 units during the year compared to 4 units in the previous year due to higher domestic coal materialisation and execution of supplementary power purchase agreement in Ad Power Mundra Ltd.
Units sold during the year were 16 per cent higher at 64.1 billion units as compared to 55.2 billion units sold during the previous year due to higher PLF and sale of power of 4.3 billion units from Raigarh Energy Generation and Raipur Energen.
