Barh with 86.96% and Singrauli with 86.26% were ranked seventh and ninth, respectively. In total, 4 stations of NTPC clocked over 85% PLF. During H1 FY '20, PLF for coal stations was 69.04% as against the national average of 57.87%. We have suffered loss due to grid restrictions. Coal-based stations suffered loss of generation of 17.26 billion units in Q2 FY '20 and 31.61 billion units in H1 FY '20. Similarly, for the gas-based stations, the loss was 7.28 billion units in Q2 FY '20 and 13.71 billion units in H1 FY '20. The generation loss on account of fuel supply constraint in the coal-based station was 3.97 billion units in Q2 FY '20. NTPC Hydro and RE stations recorded generation of 2.10 billion units in Q2 FY '20 as against 2 billion units in the corresponding previous period.

During the Q2 FY '20, 2.37 billion metric tonne of coal has been excavated from Pakri Barwadih coal mine. Cumulatively, it is 14.23 million metric tonnes of coal has been excavated till 30th September 2019. 0.14 million metric tonnes of coal has been expected from the Dulanga coal block in Q2 FY '20, which was nil in the Q2 of FY '19. Cumulative expenditure of INR 6,342.19 crores has been incurred on the development of coal mines till 30th September 2019. The total expenditure incurred in H1 FY '20 was INR 477.45 crores. NTPC Limited incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary NTPC Mining Limited, on 29th of 2019 for undertaking mining business. NTPC has signed a joint venture and shareholder agreements with Ceylon Electricity Board: Colombo, Sri Lanka for incorporation of 50-50 joint venture company for the proposed development of 300 megawatts, plus/minus 15% LNG power block in Sri Lanka. Investment approval has been accorded for 100 megawatts floating Solar PV Project at Ramagundam and 92 megawatts floating Solar PV Project at Kayamkulam. NTPC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with BHEL for forming a joint venture company for setting up of 800 megawatts technology demonstration plant based on advanced ultra supercritical technology, which will be the most efficient plant in the world once it becomes operational, resulting in reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 20% as compared to the subcritical technology. NTPC has signed an MoU with Indian Oil to explore business opportunities in the area of mutual interest like power supply to refineries, setting up of new power plants, acquisition of power plant under NCLT, fuels and lubricants, biogas ethanol plant, waste to energy plants, technical consultancy, O&M and R&M services, knowledge sharing, training, et cetera. NTPC has signed an MoU with Himachal Pradesh government to set up 2 hydropower projects of 520 megawatts in Himachal state [ at -- near ] in Lahaul & Spiti district and Seli in Solan district.

Award for FGD system packages for 17.06 gigawatts capacity are under various stages of tendering. More compliance with NOx control in coal-fired power plants, units require installation of appropriate de-NOx system based on emission level. NTPC is awarded contract for supply and installation of low NOx combustion system for 19 gigawatts of thermal power capacity. The project involves modification of in-combustion system for the boiler to reduce the generation of thermal NOx during the combustion process. Further, as part of the commitment to environment, NTPC has taken an initiative to utilize agro residue for power generation. The utilization of agro residue-based biofuel for power generation will not only reduce in-field crop [ residual ] burning resulting in lower air pollution but will also reduce carbon footprint of coal-based power plants. NTPC Dadri has become the first plant in the country to commercialize the biomass for firing and up to 10% of the agro residue-based biofuel for co-firing with the coal has been successfully operationalized. Cumulatively, we have co-fired 240 tonnes of agro residue-based biofuel until date.NTPC has invited expression of interest for production and supply of paddy straw and agro residue-based pellets, torrefied pellets to power plants located across country and received over 100 responses from vendors who are interested to supply biomass-based pellets and co-parties.

These were some of the law highlights I wanted to share before the question-and-answer session begins. Thank you.
Thank you. Shall we begin with the question-and-answer, sir?
Yes. Yes, please.
[Operator Instructions] The first question is from the line of Mohit Kumar from IDFC Securities.
Congratulations on a good set of numbers. Sir, for the -- I have 2 questions, sir. First is on, what are the fixed cost under recovery during the quarter? And what is the reason for high sharp rise in the receivables from March 2019 to September 2019? And third question, the other income is specifically high. Just explain it.
The last question I will answer first. The other income is high because of accounting of surcharge income on this outstanding data, which you mentioned in your first question or second question. Now we come to under recovery. Under recovery is INR 448 crores in H1.
What is the number in the last half year, sir? Sorry H1 FY '19?
Just a minute.
It was INR 800 crores.
It was INR 800 crores.
H1 in the last fiscal was...
Last fiscal, H1, it was INR 822 crores, which is now INR 448 crores.
And sir, what is the surcharge income you have booked in the quarter, sir?
Quarter, we have booked a surcharge income of INR 650 crores.
And sir, why the under recovery remains pretty high despite having low demand in the country? And what is the number we are targeting for FY '20?
This side, Prakash Tiwari, Director Operations. Under recovery in H1 is, as indicated by Mr. Gautam, INR 448 crores. It has been primarily in our stations like Farakka, Talcher Super and Talcher Thermal. In case of Farakka, it is attributable to some surprises during capital overhaul, where we had to replace capital equipments; and in case of Talcher Super, it was because of fuel shortage. As you know, in Talcher Super, there we have frequent disruptions due to strikes. Now in both the stations -- both the stations are on path to recovery. And at the end of the year, we expect this under recovery to be less than INR 200 crores.
So what is under recovery on Talcher Thermal, the smaller power plant?
Smaller, it is INR 55 crores, which we both -- by the end of the year will be offset and will not be having any under recovery as far as Talcher Thermal is concerned. Six processes.
We seem to have lost the line for the management. Please stay reconnected while we reconnect the management.[Technical Difficulty]Participants, thank you for patiently holding your lines. We have the line for the management reconnected. Over to you, sir.
Yes. Sure. I think -- I do not know whether the line got disconnected but let me repeat the total thing. As I said that we have around INR 7,556 crores outstanding as of the date, which is beyond due date. And the defaulters are the ones which we had last year as well. That's Telangana, Karnataka, UP, Andhra Pradesh and J&K. Now only good thing, which I wanted to share with you is that after this LC -- mandatory LC order from Ministry of Power to all the DISCOMs, we have received in last 2 months, 2.5 months, the 100% realization of our dues, so which have caused very positive development, and we are working out how do we -- really talking to all the DISCOMs to really manage the past dues, which were there before August. And I think we are sure that by end of this first fiscal, we should be able to be doing 100%.
The next question is from the line Koundinya N. from JM Financial.
Sir, what is the existing PAT number for the quarter, if there are adjustments?
The adjusted PAT for the half year and quarter are more or less same. There is no much difference between the PAT which we have reported and the existing PAT, which -- there are any minor difference that can be obtained from Aditya Dar subsequently, just after this call. There is no much difference.
Sure sir, will do that. Sir, you spoke of about INR 448 crores under recovery for the first half. What is the corresponding number for the second quarter, sir?
Second quarter, it is INR 332 crores as against INR 329 crores.
Sir, can you help us with the bifurcation? I mean, INR 33 crores against -- what is the quantum against coal shortage?
In the INR 332 crores, major is Talcher Kaniha which is INR 136 crores; Farakka INR 56 crores; Sipat INR 68 crores; and rest are very small stations.
Sir, I missed the last one. If you can -- after Farakka, I missed it.
Korba -- INR 331.19 crores; Korba, INR 27.30 crores.
Sure sir. Sir, in the last quarter if I remember correctly, we had some INR 300 crores of under recovery towards DSM and coal quality-related issues. I hope we don't have similar issues continuing...
Yes, on that account, there is no such under recovery in the current quarter.
[Operator Instructions] We take the next question from the line of Apoorva Bahadur from Jefferies.
Sir, wanted to understand this. In this quarter only, 2 of our plants are among the top 10 in terms of PLF. So what has gone wrong because typically we have at least 4 to 5 five plants, which are there in the top 10 in the country. So why are we seeing this current decline in scheduling?
Mr. Tiwari will address this question.
Okay. In top 10, we have 2 plants and reasons could be attributed to less generation from some of our pit head stations, which could not generate because of shortage of coal. Notably, there are stations where we regenerated less are Sipat, Korba, Talcher Kaniha, Kahalgaon, Farakka, et cetera, which used to be traditionally top generating stations. And also in H1, this financials, there has been loss of generation on account of grid restrictions, which is on higher side. So this has contributed to only our 2 stations being in the top rung.
So sir, grid restrictions would have been because of demand-side issues?
Yes. Demand-side issues.
Okay. Sir, secondly, you also spoke about awarding 19 gigawatts of low NOx combustion system. So if I recall correctly, till last time around, we were still in trial basis trying out various technologies. So have you finalized on this one? And we have this -- I mean this is the one which are we doing for all our plants and which are the major suppliers who would be supplying this 19 gigawatts of technology?
The ones we have awarded are based on combustion modification. And at 10 of our stations the trial, which was being carried out, that was pertaining to catalytic converter-based de-NOx systems. Where in Indian conditions, we found it to be -- it's not suitable for Indian conditions. So we have gone for combustion modification and already done in 2 units. One at Dadri, another in Jhajjar with very satisfactory results. And as far as other catalytic-based de-NOx systems front, not suitable for our conditions because of very high ash content.
Okay. Those are -- the cost for this technology will be same as the other one or will it -- will there be a difference?
No. This cost will be much less compared to selective catalytic reduction-based technology. This is going to be much cheaper.
Okay. Sir, could you quantify for this 19 gigawatts how much would be the total CapEx?
For 19,000...
That -- CapEx is INR 0.1 crores per megawatt.
Okay. Great, sir. Sir, lastly, if I may just squeeze in one more. This was on the receivables, which -- where we support NVVN and developers. So we used to extend working capital support to these solars and wind developers wherein NVVN had signed contracts. So what is that amount as of now? Where does it stand and how has the progression been? Are we seeing any recovery of dues from space or has it been increasing?
Regarding -- you're talking about recovery of the dues of our trading NVVN Limited?
Right, sir.
I think I will not be able to give you the numbers right away, but let me update that the situation for payment for NVVN is also to some extent is similar to what other people are having, and the defaulters remaining the similar states, so there was a requirement of some additional working capital requirement for NVVN and similar to what we're doing for NTPC NVVN also we are trying to really work it out how do we make it 100% by end of the year.
So sir, how much would have we extended till now, the support?
Around INR 90 crores only.
Total? In all?
Yes.
Yes.
The next question is from the line of Abhishek Puri from Axis Capital.
I just wanted to know on this auxiliary consumption looks to be extremely high in the current quarter. I mean if my calculations are correct, close to 7.8% as against 6% to 6.2% in the previous quarters. So what could be the reason for the same?
This side, Prakash Tiwari, Director Operations. Let me respond. As for -- based on our analysis, auxiliary power consumption is more because of 2 factors. The first, our units have been running at partial loading for extended period of time; and secondly, some of our stations are under reserve shutdown. There are stations like Kudgi, Solapur, Gadarwara, these are the main stations. So in these stations even when unit is not running, we consume auxiliary power. This has led to increase in auxiliary power consumption. And moreover, we get cable compensation from CERC as far as auxiliary power consumption is concerned for park load. Sample would be...
In case of back down, you're saying?
Yes. In case of backing down and in case of reserve shutdown there auxiliary power consumption is more, there is provision for compensation as per CERC guidelines.
Right. Sir, my second question is on the regulated equity growth has been pretty muted. From Q1 to Q2, I think you've added capacity yet the addition is pretty small. And also, on the operating results, obviously, the PAT is lower than last quarter. The auxiliary consumption is higher. So on overall parameter basis, operating results seem to be a little weaker than previous quarter yet the profitability is higher. So what will be the reason for the same? And which is why we were asking for adjusted profit numbers earlier.
No. No. Adjusted profit, there are no major differences with respect to the reported numbers. Aditya -- you can get it from Aditya separately. And...
Right. Sir, so what is the reason for profit jump, sir, in this CapEx turn? So if I remove INR 650 crores, which is the surcharge income that was not there in Q1, right?
Yes.
So then the quarterly profits will be same as Q1 of last year?
No. No. In the first quarter, there were certain under recoveries due to DSM, et cetera, around INR 300 crores. That is not there in the current quarter Apart from the surcharge, if you add surcharge along with this under recovery, I think that clarifies your question.
[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of Subhadip Mitra from JM Financial.
My question is with reference to the low PAF that we've been seeing at the plant. I understand a large component of it is because of fuel-related issues. If you could just clarify, how we are looking at overcoming the fuel-related issues? Because I understand that the nonpit head-based plants have been importing coal. But now we've started facing issues even at the pit head-based coal plant. So are we looking at importing of coal there as well?
Yes. As far as import of coal is concerned, there is award for 6.25 million metric tonnes. Out of this, we have received 2.8 million tonnes. So balance around 4 million tonnes, we are going to receive, which under flexibilization policy, we can supply to the station wherever there is shortage. In case of Kaniha where we experienced huge generation loss because of fuel shortage. We supplied imported coal, and we could make up for some of the losses. So we have resorted to supply of imported coal even in some of our pit head stations like Talcher Kaniha and also Sipat. And still 3.98 million metric tonnes has to be received. So we'll be able to better manage this issue about the coal shortage.
So sir, in your opinion by end of the year we should not have too much of coal-related under recovery?
Yes. Yes.
I will supplement this coal-related under recovery in the current quarter is also not that much. It is only INR 120 crores.
The next question is from the line of Aniket Mittal from Motilal Oswal.
Sir, actually 2 questions from my side. Sir, firstly, you said that post the implementation of LC mechanism, you have started receiving some dues. Sir, could you help me understand what that number is? And how do we look at the -- your overdue number going forward?
No. For the energy, which we have billed, from 1st August to this -- to the date. Whatever -- I mean for the 1st August dues, then whatever has been billed has been recovered. So that is why I said that we have got 100%. If you want to really know the number, I can -- we can share with you. I think Aditya will able to share with you, but all what I wanted to say is that whatever we have built, we have actually received.
Sir, I was just trying to understand, sir, going forward, if your receivables are coming down, ideally this built-in surcharge number should also then come down, right?
Which number? Surcharge number?
The built-in surcharge number. Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Yes. You are right.
We believe that we are more interested in recovering our dues rather than actually making money on surcharge.
Surcharge.
Sir, on that point, sir, see, your borrowings have also increased. So what has been the impact on interest expense because your receivables have decreased, I think to fund that you have also increased your short-term borrowings.
Yes. I can answer that. So you see our borrowing rate is much lower than the surcharge.
It is due to short-term borrowings. There's a interest cost in the current quarter is around INR 450 crores. Correspondingly, my director commercial has already informed, I account for a surcharge, which is at a very, very high rate of 18%.
The next question is from the line of Pulkit Patni from Goldman Sachs.
Sir, my first question is in continuation on the receivable front. Could you highlight as of now that INR 19,000 crores receivable, which we see as of 30th September, what that number is as of now?
Today, it is -- just let me -- I'll come back to you.
Sure, sir. Sir, my second question is more a general question. This decline in power generation that we've seen recently, would you attribute it to just poor demand? Or is it attributable to this LC issue because of which DISCOMs are purchasing less power? How would you look at this?
See, I think it's very difficult to answer, but fundamentally, it's a lack of demand. And if you look at the numbers, there have been increase in the hydro generation. There has been increase in the wind generation. And accordingly, the coal generation requirement, coal generation has gone down but ultimately, if you look at from the corresponding half year last year, there has been a lack of demand.
Understood. Sir, if you could come back on the first question, sir.
Yes. I think we will come back to you.
I think we can -- yes. We have already given the answer for this question. For the electricity supplied after 1st of August 2019, there is an LC mechanism, and we have been realizing 100% of our dues. So whatever dues are pending, they relate to the prior period only before 1st of August.
The next question is from the line of Puneet Gulati from HSBC.
Sir, just on this surcharge and did I get it right that you spent INR 450 crores as interest cost and you want INR 650 crores as surcharge for the same period, so the net benefit of INR 200 crores.
Actually, this INR 450 crores is for the half year. Surcharge.
Interest. Interest, INR 329 crores.
Interest for the quarter is INR 329 crores.
For the half year.
Half year, it is INR 659 crores. And corresponding surcharge is around -- just a minute, INR 822 crores half year; and INR 650 crores for the quarter.
Okay. That's very clear. Secondly, if you can comment a bit on what's happening with your plan for the 5 gigawatt renewable?
Okay. In terms of renewables, today, we have -- see, we have renewable in 2 types of thing. One is our own projects, which are EPC waste that means that our ownership and an another one is the developer mode. Now as far as our plants are concerned, we already have -- I'm talking about the first, our own projects. We already have commissioned capacity of 920 megawatts. We are going to add 20 megawatts in this financial year. 572 megawatts in the next '20, '21. And '21, '22, we'll have major capacity addition, so that we are going to have by 2022, 6,500 megawatts of our own capacity, and we are going to have around 7,500 megawatts will be the developer mode. So by '21, '22, whatever tenders we have already issued and, which have been awarded, we are trying to really get into a situation of around 14,000 megawatts by 2022.
So basically you're talking about 5,000 gigawatts getting added in FY '22 and have orders being placed for that already?
No. No. Not -- order is not placed. They are basically which are various stages of tendering, and where the land tie-ups are being done. So this is the number, which we are talking about that we should be able to really do, not that the orders have been placed.
Okay. Okay, sir. And also if you can give some plan on what will be your target capacity addition for this year?
This year for -- as far as solar is concerned, we have just one 20 megawatts Auraiya plant will be commissioned by -- in this financial year, which is our own EPC. As far as developer -- and we have also got some -- we have also going for awards of the various projects, which will be commissioned in next 15 to 18 months. That means they will come in 2020, '21, and '22 and as I said already that as far as 2021 is concerned, 572 megawatts is that we are going to commission. This I am talking about NTPC projects.
The next question is from the line of Dhruv Muchhal from HDFC Mutual Fund.
Sir, is there any carpet coal loss this quarter?
No. No. There is no such loss. Whichever we have reported in Q1 of FY '20 that has been made good.
Sir, secondly, have you booked any SCED income this quarter, the security-based economic dispatch?
No. We will inform you. You can get this information from Mr. Aditya Dar.
Sir, because just wondering if the number -- the PAT number looks decently well, I mean INR 3,200 crores versus INR 2,600 crores in first quarter. So what's driving this number? I understand the late payment surcharge, but even if you adjust it to late payment what's driving this?
Actually, there's one late payment surcharge. In addition to that, the recoveries -- they were under recoveries in Q1 regarding this -- what you just mentioned, depleted coal and DSM they have been made good. Plus in the current quarter, PSU in the last year we have not accounted for MAT credit, which we accounted for the during the -- with effect from 1st March 2019. So that has been accounted for in the current half year and quarter also. So that is also making a difference.
[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of Atul Tiwari from Citigroup.
Sir, my question is, again, on the surcharge income. So you're booking the surcharge as 18% and obviously, DISCOMS are obligated to pay, but isn't there a risk that at such a high rate of surcharge, ultimately when the time comes to settle the dues, they may ask you to reduce the rate because anyways they are not able to pay the principal amount itself?
This surcharge is as per CERC tariff regulations. So this is not applicable for the current year. This has been applicable even in the past. And even in the past also, we have been recovering 100% of our outstanding dues to our surcharge.
Yes, I think I wanted to share some numbers. On outstanding, see I'll just give you some numbers that end of July, we had INR 22,742 crores as outstanding, total outstanding. This is not the -- more than delay the total outstanding of...
Our Director of Commercial, he is speaking about the total position of outstanding debtors.
So on July 2019, the total outstanding was INR 22,742 crores. Now we have done the billing for August, September, October, which was INR 42,336 crores against which we have got the receivables of INR 24,716 which means that we have done more than billing INR 2,380 crores. So today's outstanding is INR 20,361 crores. I think that clarifies the question which was asked on the receivables.
The next question is from the line of Murtuza Arsiwalla from Kotak Securities.
One is, sir, how is the plant availability and capacity under recovery going into the third quarter because from the numbers that we can see from Coal India, coal dispatches have been weak. Monsoon -- extended monsoons have been a concern. That's the first question. Second, sir, if you look at the regulatory deferral account during the quarter, there is a sequential, quite a jump INR 500 crores moved up to almost INR 867 crores. So any specific items which have been included in that? And the third is sir, you talked about the DSM and the coal carpet losses in first quarter being made good. Does that mean that there were no losses in the quarter or you were able to sort of partly recover some of the money that you lost in the previous quarter?
First question is regarding under recovery, proposed under recovery or what would be the under recovery in Q3?
Yes.
Yes. As we already mentioned, that in Q1, it was INR 332 crores. For the half year, it was only INR 448 crores. And Q2 -- Q3, it will be -- up to December it will be?
Up to fiscal end, up to March end, we expect it will be less than INR 200 crores because the part related with the outages planned and forced will not be there and will end up with the figures less than INR 200 crores.
So we've not had any disruption on fuel availability in the month of October and early November so far?
Traditionally -- rather historically, this is a period when coal supply from Coal India increases, and we are seeing the impact of that. Coal supply to our stations is gradually increasing. So related to coal supply issues, I'm not foreseeing loss of generation. And also to fall back upon, we have this 3.98 million metric tonnes of imported coal available with us, which is yet to be delivered, which can be supplied to any of the stations, where we require it. And stock also has gone up by -- in recent 2, 3 weeks, it has gone up by at least 1 million tonnes. And it's increasing day by day.
Actually, the -- I'm A.K. Gupta, Director of Commercial. Actually reduction in demand is actually helping us in turn, so if you look at the coal generation has gone down and which has given us a benefit in terms of availability of coal.
Your second question was related to the accounting of regulatory deferral account balance. In quarter 1 and quarter 2, we are accounting for on a similar basis, there are no new numbers, although there is some increase on account of ash transportation expenses, which we account for under expenses and corresponding regulatory deferral account balances made. So in this April to September half year, we have accounted for INR 230 crores towards fly ash transportation expenses as regulatory deferral account balance.
Thank you very much. We'll take that as the last question. I would now like to hand the conference back to the management team for closing comments.
Thank you. I think [indiscernible] we have been able to answer. If at all any question is still remaining, you can contact Mr. Aditya Dar and any information, he will provide to you. Thank you.
Thank you very much. On behalf of Edelweiss Securities, that concludes the conference.
Thank you.
Thank you for joining us ladies and gentlemen. You may now disconnect your lines.
