Around 73% of AGEL’s total portfolio of around 20 GW is under-implementation, marked by operational to under-construction
assets ratio of 0.36:1. AGEL expects to commission projects of over 4 GW each, in FY22 and FY23, and 2 GW each, thereafter till
FY26. Large under-construction portfolio entails high project execution risk as any delay in project completion would lead to time
and cost overrun and its associated financing risks. However, given the modular nature of the operations of AGEL with integration
with its group entities for procurement of solar modules and construction of power evacuation infrastructure, along with its strong
execution capabilities and demonstrated track record of early commissioning of certain assets, mitigate the execution risk to an
extent. Furthermore, the expected commissioning of large capacities ahead of its schedule entails an infirm revenue, which is
part of overall capital budgeting. Any delay in commissioning of capacities beyond the envisaged timelines would increase the
reliance on internal accruals for project financing.
