FPI holdings raising more questions than answers
FPIs who invested in Adani Green have very high exposure to Adani Group which raises suspicion.
Business Risk
A. Reuters report said Adani Green’s 8 GW contract, with an assured tariff of Rs 2.92 per KW from government-owned Solar Energy Corporation of India, didn’t have any guaranteed customers as yet. No agreement has been signed yet with distribution companies, which increases the associated project risk, analysts said.
B. Agressive growth comes with some cost, in case of AGEL its tariff. Their portfolio average tariff is below APPC ( average power purchase cost ) which leads to lesser profit margin.
C. Though 14815 MW portfolio ensures bright future for AGEL but of that only 3245 MW is operational. Non operational assets are cost center which eats profit from revenue generated from operational assets.

You have good articles here! If anyone here is looking for a loan @ 2% rate in return to buy a home or other financing needs, I want you to contact Mr Pedro On pedroloanss@gmail.com When I was introduced to Mr. Pedro at the market watch seminar, I was entering the market as a first time buyer. Naturally,my needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions. Before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward. I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process of Mr Pedro loan offer. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories. I recommend him to anyone looking for a loan. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely
