Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), one of India’s largest and fastest growing pure-play renewable energy firm, on Monday announced its third quarter results month ended December 31, 2023. According to the company release, Adani Green Energy’s robust growth in revenue, EBITDA, and cash profit is primarily driven by capacity addition of 1,154 MW over the past year and improved capacity utilisation factor (CUF).

The consistent industry-leading EBITDA margin is driven by AGEL’s best-in-class operations and maintenance (O&M) practices enabling it to achieve higher electricity generation at lower O&M cost. The run-rate EBITDA stands at a strong Rs 7,806 crore with net debt to run-rate EBITDA at 4.98x as of December 2023 as compared to 5.6x last year.

Amit Singh, CEO, Adani Green Energy Ltd, said, “With the recently announced equity and debt capital raise, we have put in place the capital management framework for a well-secured growth path to the targeted 45 GW capacity by 2030. We continue to ramp up our execution capability by focusing on a resilient supply chain with emphasis on localisation, digitalisation at scale, workforce expansion and competency building. We are working on the world’s largest renewable power plant at Khavda in Gujarat and endeavour to set new standards for mega scale development of renewable energy projects as the world embraces the target of tripling renewable power capacity by 2030."
