Torrent Power 19 March 2019 TPL has a diversified portfolio spanning (i) regulated electricity distribution, (ii) franchisee-based distribution (DF), (iii) a mix of gas- and coal-based conventional generation and (iv) renewable energy (RE) generation. The companys regulated distribution business is among the most efficient in India, delivering steady growth and generating assured returns. TPLs RE capacity is likely to more than double in two years to 1.4GW; it has an attractive mix of (a) feed-in tariff-based capacities generating a high RoE and (b) under-construction competitively bid projects at >12% equity IRR. It has a mix of gas- and coal-based conventional generation capacity of ~3.1GW. The sourcing of imported LNG has improved the PLF of its gas plant which is under PPA, the DF business performance has improved now with the risk of contract expiry behind, and the likely doubling of RE capacity has bolstered the growth prospects.
