India's Tata Power posts lower quarterly profit on plant shutdown

Nov 11 (Reuters) - India's Tata Power TTPW.NS on Tuesday reported a drop in second-quarter profit, hurt by lower electricity generation after the shutdown of its Mundra plant.

Consolidated net profit fell to 9.19 billion rupees (about $105 million) in the quarter ended September 30 from 9.27 billion rupees a year earlier.

Revenue from operations fell 1% to 155.45 billion rupees.

KEY CONTEXT:

According to analysts at Investec, Tata Power took a 61% hit to power generation in August from the shutdown of its Mundra plant in Gujarat, as the Ministry of Power did not extend subsidies and reimbursements for imported coal-based power plants beyond June end.

August peak power demand in India rose 5.9% year-on-year, ending a three-month downtrend due to early monsoons and lower summer temperatures. The rise was driven by growth in commercial and industrial power consumption.

Overall power generation increased by 5.6% in August, aided by a 36% increase in renewable power and a 9.4% rise in hydroelectric power generation.
