The company's increasing cost of electrical energy purchased continued to be its bane. The cost of electrical energy jumped 40% during the quarter to Rs 2,627 m.
On the operational front however, the company managed to prune its interest costs by 27% in 3QFY01, and by 24% on a nine month consolidated basis. Another redeeming factor in its 3QFY01 results was a whopping 214% jump in the income from EPC, contracts and the computer division.
On a nine month consolidated basis, the company's sale of electricity revenues improved by 15%, and its bottomline showed a small improvement of 1% YoY.
