That is the question isn't it the heat wave can't be helping but people got to be trying to cool their homes at least those with
air conditioners. And how does that all play out for you. Supply demand is growing very rapidly now. For the current month
it is 80 percent off. Last month it was running half a percent up. And for that year as of last year it was 8 percent. So power
demand is growing. It's on the back of better economic activity as well as the clean side. It has been for better power demand.
And we are running about plants from Kevin Cirilli at this point of time.
But what does it mean for what some have described as an energy crisis in India end a coal crisis as well.
Domestic oil production is up. And last year the dispatches were up by more than 16 percent of the listed oil production is
getting pretty bad but India imports most wouldn't get 15 million tons of food. Total all all different types fall
together. But DAX ran down by those from 16 17 percent. Hundred and ninety five million tonnes last year. And the old sold a
more staggering down primarily because of the supply chain disruption and higher international food prices. Because at this
prices to produce power is pretty expensive. Like if I give you a little bit of idea that what we use to produce the fuel based
on the food used to be in the range of like some three and a half cent but now it is like 50 cents. So
that's the kind of set prices which has gone up and which takes a pretty land viable. So it's imported oil based followed is
less available in the country at this point of time and just essentially think the availability of
supply based on the. Is there a need to put more reliance on imported coal would you
be looking at that as well with your retina. Gary Plant. Given that there is this demand for costly power in these times of
shortages. Hi. Some of the pool availability at a higher price is better.
The problem is that international prices at this point of time and just time it only happened because of geopolitical tensions
and some supply disruptions which had happened. But I think they will get normalized and wanted to once they get normalized.
You'll see the lower political prices and then you not. What kind of solutions would you be suggesting to government
officials to overcome this crisis. I think globally as well as in India. The energy transition is
taking place very definitely in the image of India as that as industry in India is moving very rapidly towards the renewable
energy transition. And that's what it is happening. And and we believe that there will be 30 to 40 give up a lot of capacity
additions based on that. I believe that this will be coming up pretty soon. Last year we did a capacity addition of around 17
gigawatts which was 90 percent goes by the nuclear capacity end balance. 10 percent was from hydro as well as the turbine
capacity. And that trend is beginning. So. So I'm pretty optimistic. ISE But as the energy transition
is uncertain it will be a little support for adding little board off capacity going forward and which I think the women we've
been looking at said. Perchance you're betting big on renewable energy green energy as
it were. I think you have got something in the region of thirty two percent of output coming from renewable sources. You want to
get that up to 55 percent over the next two years. How are you going to afford that and how much help are you getting from the
government. So the government is having very favorable policy at this point
in time for the energy transition and stability that is coming out with the various spreads that they could borrow from that
and with the resources in that sphere that the early interest is. And we are at this point of time thirteen point five
gigawatt upset in the build capacity which should be I believe all the way into an electric fence because you generate more
than three and a billion dollar of cash at the active line for this capacity of this 2 1 5 gigawatt. We have already got what
if I could go megawatt last month and get financially. You would be commissioning close to 1 2 5 gigawatt bennis next year. And B
we intend to end up between 1 to 2 gigawatt every year from next 10 years. That's a failure for potential energy when we see the
buy off 30 to 40 gigawatt and we'll capacity additions by their nuclear sources in the country for next years. Getting a share
of two gigawatt in DAX is pretty handsome and very demonstrated. But you mentioned shortages earlier of a cove. Does the
Ukrainian situation in Russia being sanctioned by the West to make you a buyer of Russian coal. And if so would you be a
buyer. Would it be really really quite deeply discounted. So recently we have a and for some shipments and availability of
good quantities. There is a problem. But yes he said you have to find a thousand tons of oil and then beyond looking for more. So
if you get more quantities. Beyond the Bell. All right I wanted to ask as well you're talking about some of
how you would finance things what is your debt position looking like and what is your I guess spending plans to pay for you.
Twenty three. So we happen been a an announce their capital expenditure a few
billion dollars for this 1 5 gigawatts of capacity which we have tied up. It just simply could be viewed sealed with the
assumption companies. And as I said that we are already generating CNN million not out of cash every year just as it
could be going forward. This cash will be fully up. If you have a balance sheet you have the best balance sheet in the industry
globally. I don't know what that could be. Days less than one point six five dimes and what we think is less than point four
times. So we have a lot of room to leave it up. A balance sheet and Dolby are through that.
Very quickly the whole world is grappling with higher inflation. Energy costs are going up. How you input input costs are rising
currently. So what's a rising pretty sharply. As I said that we believe we
have been importing for next 75 to 80 dollar which has last year there was one in seven people lost. What was wondered in 65
dollar. And I know it is going on at ninety five dollars. So that's lost their share of our input. Lost. But what I would use
up facts. Let's see it selling the bar what we have done we have a possible mechanism to be passed. If I were in DAX in Boston
and whenever we are selling and on the spot market in the exchanges b I'd always be sure that we are selling in the
blogosphere out of our safe spaces more than ever better even faster. And energy prices in the country at this point of time
are also really very high. And in that outlet exchanges which is in the range of 16 to 19 cents.
