OVERVIEW
PrKTCL was incorporated on September 2, 2002. PGCIL had incorporated PrKTCL as a special purpose vehicle to maintain the PrKTCL project on BOO basis, i.e. to be maintained on a perpetual basis by the shareholders of the project. Similar to other assets in our portfolio, the transmission license was granted to PrKTCL for a period of 25 years on September 15, 2008. PrKTCL, under CERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2019 is eligible to receive tariff for a period of 35 years from the date of commissioning of the project elements. In January, 2020, we completed the acquisition of 74 % of the equity shares of PrKTCL from Reliance Infrastructure Limited. Pursuant to the PrKTCL Share Purchase Agreement, we have also executed a deed of adherence dated January 8, 2021 for the balance shareholding in PrKTCL.

* The transmission line elements have been claimed as commissioned with effect from June 1, 2015 as per the CERC Tariff Petition.
**As per CERC (Terms and Condition of Tariff) Regulations, 2019, effective COD for the consolidated project has to be used for the purpose of tariff determination. Based on the true up of tariff for block periods FY 2014-19 and approved tariff for FY 2019-24, effective COD is likely to be in FY 2014-15.
