The Plant availability, Plant load factor and net saleable
energy generation of Hydro and Thermal Power Plants for the
Financial Year 2024- 25 were as under:-

The saleable energy generation for the year has been 12,980.99
MUs as compared to 13,565.60 MUs during previous year i.e
lower by 584.61 MUs. The performance of various plants is
given as under:-

2.1 400 MW Jaypee Vishnuprayag Hydro Electric Power Plant

400 MW Jaypee Vishnuprayag Hydro Electric Power Plant
is located at District Chamoli, Uttarakhand. The Company
has a PPA with Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited
(UPPCL) to supply 88% of net power generated and the
remaining 12% is supplied free of cost to the Government
of Uttarakhand.

The performance of the Vishnuprayag Hydro Electric
Power Plant during the year ended 31st March, 2025
has been higher than previous year due to hydrology.
During the year ended on 31st March, 2025 the energy
generated was 1828.42 MUs as compared to 1627.46
MUs during the corresponding previous year and the net

2.2 500 MW Jaypee Bina Thermal Power Plant

Jaypee Bina Thermal Power Plant (JBTPP) located at
Village Sirchopi, District Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, is a coal
based thermal power plant having an installed capacity of
500 MW (2X250 MW).

The Company has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
with Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Ltd.
(MPPMCL) to supply 65% of installed capacity at tariff
determined by MPERC and with Government of Madhya
Pradesh (GoMP) to supply 5% of actual generation at
variable cost which is also to be supplied to MPPMCL
on behalf of (GoMP). Thus the Plant supplies 70% of
the installed capacity on long-term basis to MPPMCL in
terms of the Power Purchase Agreements executed with
them and balance of installed capacity is being sold as
merchant power.

MPPMCL has been giving restricted schedule to BINA

TPP and is giving erratic and fluctuating schedules of
dispatch most of days & some time scheduling very low
off take, which technically renders it unfeasible to run
the Plant optimally and forcing Company to sell balance
power to power exchanges at un-remunerative tariff.
During FY 2024-2025, total 2,716.82 MUs power were
delivered out of which, 1,650.82 MUs were delivered to
MPPMCL and balance 1,065.98 MUs were sold on power
exchange and on bilateral sale basis of which 216.73 MUs
of power were sold, mainly to meet technical minimum
requirement of the plant.

The gross energy generation of JBTPP was 3,006.52 MUs
during the year 2024-25 as compared to 3,328.97 MUs
during the previous year, thus was lower by 322.45 MUs.
The Company achieved a PLF of 68.64 % as compared to
75.80 % in the previous year.

As reported in previous year, the contract for Supply
and Technical Field Advisory Support of Flue Gas
Desulphurization (FGD) was awarded to M/s. GE
Power India Ltd. on 30th March, 2024 for Rs.284.40
crores, in pursuance of which engineering activities and
some fabrication activities were taken up by M/s. GE
Power. However, on 30th December, 2024, MoEF had
issued an amendment with respect to the time line for
implementation of FGD and the revised time line is 31st
December, 2029. Accordingly, a Petition has been filed in
MPERC for further direction on the process to be followed
for implementation in view of the revised time lines.

2.3 1320 MW Jaypee Nigrie Supercritical Thermal Power
Plant

1320 MW (2x660 MW) Coal based Jaypee Nigrie
Supercritical Thermal Power Plant is located in Nigrie
village, Tehsil Sarai in Singrauli district of Madhya

The Plant has long term PPAs with MPPMCL to supply
30% of installed capacity at tariff determined by MPERC
guidelines and with GoMP to supply 7.5% of actual
generation at variable cost which is also to be supplied
to MPPMCL on behalf of GoMP Part of Energy generation
is also sold on merchant basis through bilateral
arrangements, through Indian Energy Exchange (IEX),
Hindustan Power Exchange (HPX) & Power Exchange of
India Limited (PXIL).

The gross energy generation of the Plant was 9357.73

GE Power India Ltd. on 30th March, 2024 for Rs.490.50
crores, in pursuance of which engineering activities and
some fabrication activities were taken up by M/s. GE
Power. However, on 30th December, 2024, MoEF had
issued an amendment with respect to the time line for
implementation of FGD and the revised time line is 31st

15/16/2021-H.I(259535) dated 22.12.2021 as follows:-

2. Hirong HEP (500MW) to NEEPCO

Further, there had been continuous reluctance on the part
of the said PSUs and the possibility of the project coming
into effect has diminished, therefor, the Company has
written off the investment in the project.

Sangam Power Generation Company Limited (SPGCL)
was acquired by the Company from Uttar Pradesh
Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) through competitive
bidding process, for the implementation of 1320 MW (2

District Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh.

SPGCL executed Deed of Conveyance with Uttar Pradesh
Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) but the District
Administration could not hand over physical possession
of land to SPGCL due to local villagers' agitation.
As such, no physical activity could be started on the
ground. SPGCL has written to UPPCL and all procurers
that the Power Purchase Agreement is rendered void
and cannot be enforced. As such, it was, inter-alia,
requested that Company's claims be settled amicably
for closing the agreement(s). Due to abnormal delay in
resolving the matter by UPPCL, SPGCL has withdrawn
all its undertakings given to UPPCL and lodged a claim
of Rs. 1,157.22 crore on them vide its letter no. SPGCL/
NOIDA/2018/01 dated 13.03.2018. Further SPGCL has filed

8.3 Jaypee Meghalaya Power Limited

Jaypee Meghalaya Power Limited (JMPL) was
incorporated by the Company as a wholly owned
subsidiary to implement 270MW Umngot HE Power
Project and 450MW Kynshi-II HE Power Project on BOOT
(Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) basis.

Since then, efforts were made to operationalize the
projects but ultimately, both the above projects became
inoperative due to reasons given below:

In respect of Umngot HE Power Project (270MW),
since there was opposition by the local people, State
Government halted the project and advised that Umngot
HE Power Project would not be operationalized as per
MoA till further orders. The matter was being pursued with
State Government for permission to resume the works.
In the meanwhile, the, State Government decided vide
minutes of the meeting dated 22.04.2022 to terminate
the MOA and begun the process for re-allocation of this
project through ICB route to PSUs.

Further, in respect of Kynshi HE Project II (3X150MW)
project, it was been established that there were deposits
of Uranium in the area of project. Therefore, it became very
difficult to obtain clearance from Ministry of Environment
and Department of Atomic Energy to move further in this
respect. For the reason cited above, the Government
of Meghalaya declared this project as non-feasible and
scraped the same.

As such, both the projects had become non-feasible, the
Company wrote off the investment made in the JMPL
amounting to approx. Rs. 8.3 crores.

weight schedule, Tech Log Book, Passenger Briefing
Card, Load & Trim Sheet, and CAME.

• As the Airworks CAMO office is based in Bangalore,
the Accountable Manager and Nodal Officer will be
visting the DGCA office there for the initial technical
evaluation of these documents. During this phase,
the helicopter will be grounded for approximately one
and a half months to transfer its C of R of helicopter
VTJPS from Himalyaputra Aviation Ltd to Bina Mines
and Supply Ltd.

• Upon approval of the manuals, the DGCA will inspect
the office facilities and evaluate the employee
strength at Bina Mines and Supply Ltd.

• Once all phases are complete, the final certification
phase will begin, during which the DGCA team will
conduct a proving flight on our helicopter, VTJPS, for
one hour. After the proving flight, the DGCA pilots
will issue the NOC, and the certification process will
