The company said performance of franchised distribution businesses was impacted due to COVID 19 pandemic causing reduction in electricity demand mainly in commercial and industrial customer categories and increase in T&D loss. Decrease in contribution from renewable generation due to abnormally lower wind speeds during the quarter, lower contribution from merchant power sales due to lower prices of electricity in the spot market also impacted revenue. This was offset by a decrease in interest cost, both due to lower debt and reduction in interest rates.
