Portfolio Adjusted EBITDA Run Rate as of November 15, 2021

As of November 15, 2021, 7.0 GWs of capacity was commissioned. The chart below provides the Portfolio Adjusted EBITDA Run Rate which is an estimation of the Adjusted EBITDA once capacity is operating for a full year.

	INR million	US $ million
Operating Capacity (7 GWs)	59,700 – 64,500	805-870
Signed PPAs (2.1 GWs)	16,300 – 17,400	220-235
LOA received, PPA to be signed (1.2 GWs)	7,500 – 8,200	101-111
Total portfolio (10.3 GWs)	83,500 – 90,100	1,126-1,216

Note: Construction (including land acquisition) typically takes approximately six to 18 months for utility-scale wind energy projects, and four to 12 months for utility-scale solar energy projects. PPAs are typically signed three to six months after receipt of the LOA although there have been recent delays in receiving PPAs principally due to COVID-19.

Guidance for FY22

Our estimate remains at 8.2 GWs of capacity operating by the end of FY22 and Adjusted EBITDA for FY22, excluding the impact of weather, will be approximately INR 60,750 million (or US$810 million using a foreign exchange rate of Indian rupees into U.S. dollars of INR 75.00 to US$1.00).
