Losses in the Rajasthan DF and Malegaon DF regions also continued their downward trend through targeted vigilance and efficiency drives.
Expansion in Renewable Energy
CESC’s renewable energy arm, Purvah Green, is actively scaling its capacity. With 300 MW currently operational, the company aims to reach 3,200 MW by FY29 and 10,000 MW by FY32. Recent project wins include a 300 MW hybrid project with CESC Kolkata and a 250 MW wind project with SECI. Furthermore, the company is establishing a 3 GW Solar Cell & Module Manufacturing ecosystem in Greater Noida, scheduled for commissioning in 2027 to cater to domestic solar requirements.
Generation Asset Performance
The thermal generation business maintained strong operating performance throughout FY26. Notably, the Haldia TPP achieved a Plant Load Factor (PLF) of 94.9%, improving upon its 91% PLF in FY25. The consistent performance of core assets like Budge Budge (BBGS) and Dhariwal Infrastructure continues to provide stable support to the company’s power generation portfolio.
