This increase in volume is supported by a robust trading margin of 3.52 paisa / unit. The volumes during the Q3FY24 were subdued primarily due to lower cross border volumes from Bhutan due to their increased consumption and the volatility in the short-term power trading market.

In the current quarter and nine months, our company has maintained its strong business performance. However, we have elected to resolve a longstanding issue with one of our customers, leading to booking a provision. Also, our results show a temporary decrease in our surcharge income which in accordance with our established accounting procedures and cyclical, seasonal factors. Parameters like Rebate Income (which shows an increase of over 30% for Q3FY24) and Surcharge Income are better evaluated on an annualized basis.

Our subsidiary companies have consistently enhanced their financial outcomes, demonstrating a robust improvement in their performance. PFS, a subsidiary of our company, has embarked on a strategic path of transformation, beginning with a comprehensive overhaul of its management team. This move is aimed at addressing the hurdles encountered in last few quarters.
