As a result, EBITDA for the quarter was higher by 34% YoY at Rs 1,111 crore as against Rs 830 crore posted in the same period a year ago. The increase is primarily attributable to higher contribution from short term sales, solar capacity addition at Vijayanagar and 45MW uprating at Karcham Wangtoo.
