⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Transmission infrastructure assets (towers, conductors, substations) represent the core asset base; O&M costs are the primary operational expense.

Import Sources

Not applicable as the company operates as a transmission utility; assets are domestically located in India.

Key Suppliers

POWERGRID Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) acts as the Project Manager and primary provider of O&M services.

Capacity Expansion

Current portfolio consists of 5 operational SPVs. Future expansion is targeted through the National Monetisation Pipeline, which identifies ₹45,200 Cr of power transmission assets for monetisation by FY2025.

Raw Material Costs

O&M costs are minimal relative to revenue; price escalations in O&M contracts are not expected to materially affect cash flows.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Maintains 98%+ availability across all SPVs since commercial operations, ensuring full recovery of transmission charges.

Logistics & Distribution

Not applicable; revenue is derived from availability-linked transmission charges collected via CTUIL.

Consumer Behavior

Not applicable for B2B utility infrastructure.

Geopolitical Risks

Low risk due to the domestic nature of power transmission infrastructure and long-term regulated contracts.

Industry Regulations

Operations are governed by CERC (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission) tariff determinations and SEBI InvIT Regulations requiring 90% distribution of NDCF.

Taxation Policy Impact

SPVs like JPTL pay taxes under the new regime at an effective rate of 25.17%.

POWERGRID has undertaken to indemnify the Trust against claims arising from the period prior to May 13, 2021; no major contingent liabilities reported post-acquisition.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Operational risk of maintaining >98% availability and financial risk from interest rate resets on floating-rate debt.

Geographic Concentration Risk

100% of assets and revenue are concentrated in the Indian power transmission sector.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on POWERGRID for project management, O&M, and as a sponsor for future asset pipeline.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Low risk as power transmission technology is mature and assets have long useful lives (35+ years).

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Low counterparty risk due to centralized billing and collection through CTUIL.
