Future Outlook :
As you are aware, your Company decided to diversify into solar power
generation to begin with under the name Shri Matre Power &
Infrastructure Ltd. Despite putting best efforts to revive its LPG
Business your company could not achieve much progress. This is
primarily due to the fact that the Government could not do much to
withdraw the subsidy on LPG as committed by it.
Your company acquired requisite land in Ramdevara Village near Pokhran,
Jodhpur, Rajasthan to set up its solar project. Though your Company did
not succeed in the tender bid process floated by NTPC Vidyut Vyapar
Nigam Ltd (NWN), it is pursuing every opportunity to enter into the
solar power generation field. Your Company is geared to participate in
the tender floated by Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd
(RRECL). It would submit its bid for 10MW Solar Power Project to secure
a long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to set up a solar power
plant & sell electricity to the Rajasthan State Discoms, through RFS
issued by RRECL. Your company tied-up with Sun Power Solar of USA for
this project and would be bidding for this project along with them.
However we have to wait for sometime as RRECL''s tender stands
postponed.
Apart from participating in the above tenders, your company is also
working on alternate avenue wherein it would have a tie-up for 25 year
PPA under open Access Mechanism with an Obligated Entity to meet their
Solar Purchase Obligations. Your company also is pursuing the option of
selling power directly to Discoms and earn its profits through sale of
Renewable Energy Certificates. Presently this approach is more
profitable in view of the attractive prices of RECs.
Simultaneously, your Company is also working on mobilizing requisite
funds to meet cost of the proposed Power Project. With your company
wiping out its accumulated losses and starting off now with a clean
slate, we are in a better position to achieve our objectives. As
esteemed share holders are aware, your company is already Debt Free.
It is the earnest endeavor of your Directors to turn the company around
at the earliest and make it profitable once again. Your Directors are
putting in all out efforts and are leaving no stone unturned to achieve
the same. Your Directors are optimistic that your company would succeed
in the Solar Power field soon.
