As per a leading financial daily, Power Grid Corporation Ltd (PGCL) has said that it would invest Rs 28.2 bn in four projects. The company will invest Rs 13.6 bn in 'Eastern Region Strengthening Scheme-V' project that is expected to be commissioned in 30 months.

The company has reported topline growth of 12.5% YoY with large part of sales growth coming from export formulations and export API segments. Barring Japan, all the geographies witnessed growth above 20% for the quarter. The domestic sales witnessed muted growth of 4.8% YoY for the quarter. On the margins front, EBITDA margins remained flat at 14.9%. Profit after tax jumped by 93.4% YoY. This was due to decline in finance costs and tax expenses.
