In addition, the rating agency said that overdues from state distribution utilities\u2019 (discoms) have declined.<\/p>\n<p>The rating agency said that PLF improvement is driven by robust recovery in electricity demand growth in the country and a sustained growth is expected to improve the visibility of new power purchase agreements (PPAs) for the thermal IPPs (independent power producers).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe all-India thermal PLF level is expected to improve from 58.9% in FY2022 to 64.0% in FY2023 and further to 65.5% in FY2024, led by healthy demand growth and limited thermal capacity addition,\u201d said Vikram V, Vice President &amp; Sector Head &#8211; Corporate Ratings, Icra. Vikram also said that the full-year demand growth for FY2023 is estimated at 9.5-10%, and it is likely to moderate to 5.5-6% in FY24.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the power generating companies are benefiting from the realisation of overdues from discoms under the Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) scheme notified by the Ministry of Power in June 2022, Icra noted. The dues from discoms have declined from Rs 1.3 trillion as of May 2022 to about Rs 0.6 trillion as on March 1, 2023, according to data from the PRAAPTI portal.<\/p>\n<p>Vikram added that this is a near-term positive for generation companies, but a sustainable improvement in payments is linked to improving the financial profile of the discoms and it remains a key monitorable from the outlook perspective for the thermal segment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3759afef elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3759afef\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-57bfeaa0\" data-id=\"57bfeaa0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-554780b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"554780b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Coal Prices and Supplies<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-49d3eb44 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49d3eb44\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2c244f\" data-id=\"f2c244f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58236460 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58236460\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The higher demand and increase in tariffs in the short-term market have boosted profitability for thermal IPPs during April-December period of FY23 and it has offset the price rise of coal in the open market.<\/p><p>Icra stated that the coal stock level at power plants is witnessing a gradual improvement and was at 12 days (approx.) as on February 28, 2023, and it remains half of the normative stock level of 24 days (approx.).<\/p><p>As the electricity demand rises in the country during the summer season, the increase in coal supplies on a sustained basis remains important to ensure uninterrupted power supply.

He added that the median tariff hike proposed for FY24 stands at 5.0% compared with 1.9% median hike approved for FY23.\u00a0<\/p><p>Moreover, the upward pressure on the cost of coal supply due to increased use of imported coal and higher tariffs in short-term tariffs as well as rising interest costs towards the loan availed under the LPS scheme, will result in cash gap per unit remaining high at more than 60 paise per unit for state-owned discoms at all-India level in FY23 and FY24, he stated. In this scenario, timely issuance of tariff orders with adequate tariff hikes by the state electricity regulators remains important.<\/p><p>Nonetheless, Icra\u2019s outlook for power distribution segment remains \u2018negative\u2019. The progress in improving the operating efficiencies, realisation of dues from respective state governments and government institutions, and timely pass-through of cost variations to customers through regular tariff revisions are key to improving the financial position of discoms and its
