Production Performance
In addition to the sales from power plants of 100 MW at MALCO, 270 MW at BALCO-1, and 123 MW wind power plant at HZL, the energy segment includes temporary surplus power sales from various captive power plants.

We sold 3,279 million units of power during FY 2010 compared to 882 million units sold in FY 2009. This growth in volume was mainly on account of surplus power sales due to the shut-down of high cost aluminium operations at MALCO and BALCO 1 and surplus power from the Jharsuguda CPP.

We sold 3,279 million units of power during FY 2010 compared to 882 million units sold in 2009.
