GVK Power and Infrastructure has received a notice from APTransco about buying out its 217-Mw power plant at Jegurupadu in East Godavari district under the provisions in the power purchase agreement (PPA). The decision to buy out the plant was based on the cost benefit analysis. The refurbishment and maintenance costs proposed by the company works out to Rs 590 crore, which is as good as the money required to set up a new plant. AP Transco had engaged Grant Thornton to assess the plant’s terminal value, based on which the buy-out process is expected to be completed.

The firm had assessed that its terminal value at Rs 294 crore. In April, the state power utility had sought the government’s permission to buy out the GVK plant, one of the options provided in the PPA. Last week, a couple of days before the expiry of the PPA, Andhra Pradesh government gave its nod to APTransco for its request to buy out the plant. The PPA signed by GVK Industries, a step-down subsidiary of the company with the erstwhile APSEB (now AP Transco) stands expired by  June 20, 2015, as it had completed its validity period of 18 years.

The 208-Mw gas power project of Spectrum Power, which is currently under the management of the Asset Reconstruction Company (India), is next in line. While the PPA is due to expire some time next year, the company has already submitted its R&M plan with an estimated cost of Rs 260 crore to the power utilities. GVK had roped in Alstom, the original equipment supplier, to undertake refurbishment of the plant for the purpose of expending the life of the project.  This international tie-up could have contributed to higher R&M cost estimates.
