All its subsidiaries and plants have reported robust performance despite challenging circumstances and sectoral challenges. This has been largely due to company's relentless focus on operational improvements & excellence. Tata Power Solar has shown excellent performance and turn around and has been a significant contributor to company's performance. The renewable portfolio continues to do well and has once again made a healthy contribution to PAT. Delhi distribution arm, TPDDL also continues to reduce its AT&C losses at benchmark levels. Moreover, the company has been working on charting its next phase of growth for which monetization of various non-core assets like SED & other cross holdings is underway to improve the balance sheet. The company is committed to pursuing a well charted growth strategy by demonstrating a high level of commitment towards cleaner sources of generation. While CGPL's under recovery for the quarter and full year has been offset by gains in coal mines to some extent but tangible steps need to be taken by procurers to resolve the viability issue at the earliest, Sinha added. Tata Power is India's largest integrated power company with a growing international presence.
