The SLPP Phase-I DPR was finalized in February 2024, GUVNL approved it in May 2025, and the order was placed on BHEL in April 2026.
  21. Khavda own capacity revenue - ₹2.75-2.80/unit from 2025 Delivered - At the Q2 FY23 call, management gave thumb-rule revenue guidance for Khavda own capacity from 2025 at ₹2.75-2.80 per unit tariff, at 50% capacity and 29% to 27% CUF. The Khavda 600 MW solar tariff is ₹2.73 per unit, the plant achieved 33.24% CUF in FY26, and revenue is guided at \~₹420 cr for FY26-27.

  24. 75 MW solar expansion - operational in 18 months (\~September 2023) Partial - At the Q4 FY22 call, management guided the 75 MW solar project would be operational "down the line in 18 months"; the EPC contract was awarded on 22 April 2024 with an 11-month completion period, and preferential issue proceeds were earmarked for the plant by September 2025 tentative. The 75 MW group captive solar plant at Vastan was commissioned in May 2025 and generated \~₹38 cr revenue in nine months of FY26.
  25. Khavda revenue - from Q4 FY23 or Q1 FY24 Missed - At the Q2 FY22 call, management expected revenue from Khavda, whether UDC or plant commissioning, only from the last quarter of FY23 or first quarter of FY24. UDC/user fee from park facilities was later expected only once the park was ready and projects allotted, i.e. FY24; actual revenue commenced only after the 600 MW project's December 2025 commissioning, with O&M income from park developers starting in FY26-27.
  26. FY23 PBT - ₹300 cr+ (subject to plant shutdowns) Partial - At the Q2 FY22 call, management targeted ₹300 cr+ PBT for FY23, subject to plant shutdowns and full fixed-cost recovery; at Q4 FY22 this was guided as ₹250-300 cr for 2023-2024 in the normal scenario. FY23 PBT was \~₹253 cr, with Q4 FY23 the highest revenue and profit quarter of the year on normal income.
  27.

FY22 EBITDA was \~₹406 cr - thermal around ₹200-215 cr and wind and solar around ₹200-220 cr - with the shortfall attributed to the gas station shutdown, SLPP-1 economizer beam issue and additional overhauling maintenance.
  28. Khavda Phase I 600 MW - commercially operational by November 2023 Partial - At the Q2 FY22 call, management targeted the Phase I 600 MW at Khavda commercially operational by November 2023, Phase II by February 2024 and Phase III by May 2025; the commercial start was later moved to November 2024 at a likely ₹2.73/unit PPA.

  29. 100 MW solar capacity - commissioned by June 2021 Delivered - At the Q4 FY21 call, management stated the 100 MW solar capacity addition was likely to be commissioned by the end of June 2021. The 100 MW solar PV project at Raghanesda was commissioned effective 10 August 2021 at a total capex of ₹500 cr, and generated 155.35 MUs at CUF of 28.14% in FY22.
  30. Khavda own solar capacity - 1,500-1,800 MW by FY27-FY29 On track - At the Q4 FY21 call, management targeted building 1,600-1,700 MW of own solar capacity at Khavda over the next six years, restated at Q4 FY22 as at least 1,500 to 1,800 MW "in the next five to seven years down the line"; later revisions brought the plan to 1,100 MW being developed by GIPCL itself. The 600 MW project was fully commissioned on 25 December 2025, the 500 MW project is at an advanced stage of commissioning expected by end 2026, and a further 200 MW addition on surplus land is planned - 1,100 MW delivered or near-delivered, potentially 1,300 MW.
  31. Khavda RE Park - 2,375 MW fully operational by December 2026 On track - At the Q4 FY21 call, management guided the 2,375 MW Khavda RE Park would be developed over six years with 50% by December 2024 and the balance in the following three years; after successive revisions, the FY25 and FY26 annual reports reset the target to full completion by December 2026. The 400 kV transmission line from PSS-1 to KPS-II was charged on 30 April 2025 with PSS-1 fully available for 1,200 MW evacuation, PSS-2 construction is completed, and GIPCL's own 600 MW was fully commissioned on 25 December 2025 with the remaining 500 MW at an advanced stage expected by end 2026; third-party developers hold the balance 1,275 MW.
