Generation is expected to decline 32.2% yoy in Apr’20. PLF: PLF declined significantly across the coal segment in Mar’20 (-882 bps yoy to 53.5%) due to the fall in demand. However, PLF improved in 1) hydro (+101bps yoy to 27.3%) due to better water availability; 2) gas (+343bps yoy to 24.2%) to maintain grid stability; and 3) nuclear plants (+1,226bps yoy to 80.0%) due to better fuel availability in Mar’20. PLF in Apr’20 is expected to decline further across the coal segment due to a lack of significant industrial and commercial activity during the lockdown. Spot rates declined in Mar’20 but deficits remained flat: Both base and power deficits remained flat at 0.4% each in Mar’20 on yoy and mom basis. Merchant rates, however, declined by 21.1% yoy to Rs2.5/kWh in Mar’20 and further by 1.8% mom to Rs2.4/kWh in Apr’20 due to subdued power demand. EAP position: We continue to prefer regulated return entities such as NTPC, PGCIL, NHPC and CESC which remains largely immune to the low power offtake by the discoms as their fixed costs are recoverable on the basis of plant availability, and not load factor. Our view: The lockdown across the country led to a significant 23-25% decline in power demand and generation due to very low power offtake from commercial and industrial consumers (C&I) that account for ~40% of the total power demand. The demand, however, is expected to witness a gradual pick-up in the coming weeks with the onset of peak summers and also some relaxations in the green zone areas. In addition, in a move to revive the economy, government is planning to provide relaxations across the selected C&I segment which should increase power demand. Further, in order to provide relief to the financially burdened discoms, the Union Power Ministry (MoP) has made a proposal to PFC/REC to provide special loans to discoms to help them clear power generators’ outstanding bills of ~Rs906bn. These special concessional loans will be given for a period of 10-12 years, along with a moratorium on principal. The loans will be secured by state government guarantees. Relaxation is also provided to discoms in maintaining lower LCs for power procurement, with moratorium on interest and principal repayment to banks. This should partially offset the stress on discoms’ working capital due to subdued power demand and low revenue collection during the lockdown period. Gencos and transmission companies’ working capital would also be under stress due to delayed payment from discoms. The MoP’s direction to discoms for the payment of availability-based fixed charges has provided a significant relief to regulated entities such as NTPC, NHPC and PGCIL. We continue to prefer regulated entities like NTPC, NHPC, CESC and PGCIL who operates on a risk-averse regulatory business environment and earns fixed return on invested project equities. These companies can recover their entire fixed costs on an availability basis.

Power demand fell 8.2% yoy in Mar’20 amid lockdown: Power generation declined

8.2% yoy to 107.4.1bn units in Mar’20 as peak demand declined 23-25% during the

lockdown in the country. Generation is expected to decline 32.2% yoy in Apr’20.

PLF: PLF declined significantly across the coal segment in Mar’20 (-882 bps yoy to 53.5%)

due to the fall in demand. However, PLF improved in 1) hydro (+101bps yoy to 27.3%) due

to better water availability; 2) gas (+343bps yoy to 24.2%) to maintain grid stability; and 3)

nuclear plants (+1,226bps yoy to 80.0%) due to better fuel availability in Mar’20. PLF in

Apr’20 is expected to decline further across the coal segment due to a lack of significant

industrial and commercial activity during the lockdown.

Spot rates declined in Mar’20 but deficits remained flat: Both base and power deficits

remained flat at 0.4% each in Mar’20 on yoy and mom basis. Merchant rates, however,

declined by 21.1% yoy to Rs2.5/kWh in Mar’20 and further by 1.8% mom to Rs2.4/kWh in

Apr’20 due to subdued power demand.

EAP position: We continue to prefer regulated return entities such as NTPC, PGCIL,

NHPC and CESC which remains largely immune to the low power offtake by the discoms

as their fixed costs are recoverable on the basis of plant availability, and not load factor.

Our view: The lockdown across the country led to a significant 23-25% decline in power

demand and generation due to very low power offtake from commercial and industrial

consumers (C&I) that account for ~40% of the total power demand. The demand, however, is

and also some relaxations in the green zone areas. In addition, in a move to revive the

which should increase power demand. Further, in order to provide relief to the financially

Generation, PLF and prices

Generation declined 8.2% yoy in Mar’20 but was flat on full-year basis

Generation in Mar’20 declined 8.2% yoy (incl. provisional figures for renewables) as overall

demand declined 9.1% yoy to 98.8bn units. Generation declined in coal (-12.3% yoy) and

renewables (-1.3% yoy), while it improved in gas (+16.6% yoy), hydro (+4.8% yoy) and nuclear

(+18.1% yoy). Provisional data indicates that generation is expected to decline 32.2% yoy in

Apr’20, with coal declining 39.2% yoy due to subdued demand from the C&I segment. On a full-

year basis generation has remained flat at 1,378bn units.
