On the financial front, the profit after tax (PAT) for January–March, 2012 increased by 312 per cent to Rs 4,631 crores, up from Rs 1,123 crores in the corresponding quarter of previous year. This was primarily because of higher compensation for under-recoveries.
The PAT for the full year 2011-12 was Rs 911 crores as compared to Rs 1,539 crores in the previous year. The lower PAT was due to increase in interest costs to Rs 2,139 crores, up from Rs 892 crores in the previous year, which was due to increase in gross underrecoveries and delay in receipt of compensation.
