“AESL remains steadfast with commissioning of new lines, along with strong energy demand growth in its distribution areas of AEML and MUL. We are further contributing to decarbonization of the power distribution in Mumbai by way of 37 per cent renewable power penetration in Mumbai. We remain focused on recognising and tapping market opportunities within the areas of interest and lead energy transition in India. We take pride in our contribution to developing critical transmission infrastructure, to facilitate renewable evacuation (e.g. Khavda) and as well as strengthening the existing grid and driving energy efficiency in India through its smart metering programme. We are also pleased to share that prestigious agency like the FTSE have upgraded our ESG score in the FTSE4Good Index to 4.4, with environment score being the key improvement area. This demonstrates our unwavering dedication to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable practices,” said Anil Sardana, MD, Adani Energy Solutions.
Revenues witnessed a robust growth of 47 per cent on account of the contribution from the newly operationalised transmission assets, line addition at under-construction projects and an increase in the units sold because of higher energy consumption in the distribution business at Mumbai and Mundra and contribution from smart metering business.
