Mr. Vneet S. Jaain, MD & CEO, Adani Green Energy Ltd said, “The financial results for Q1 FY21 display the resilience of the Company even in scenarios like COVID-19 pandemic. Across our plants, we have continued completely normal operations even in this pandemic situation and remain committed towards power supply being the 'essential services'. This was also possible with our staff working diligently to meet power requirement of the Country in such critical situation. Also, across all sites, construction activity continued and has further enhanced. We look forward to continue our operations and construction work normally while pursuing all precautions for safety of all employees.

Our O&M practices powered by Adani Energy Network Operation Centre (Adani-ENOC) have further enabled us to continue our operations uninterrupted resulting in high Plant availability thereby ensuring high CUF performance. We will continue our efforts to implement the best O&M practices to keep the performance of all our plants at optimal levels.

We follow a disciplined Capital Management philosophy and have well diversified sources of financing with access to both domestic banks and financial institutions as well as international capital markets. This enables us to pursue our targeted capacity expansion without any hurdles.
