Another reason for the company’s success is its focus on sustainability and innovation. The company has been investing in renewable energy sources, smart grid solutions, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and energy storage technologies. The company aims to achieve 40-50% of its generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2025. The company also plans to reduce its carbon footprint by 60% by 2030.
The company’s financial performance has also improved in recent quarters, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin improved to 23.4% from 20.8% in the previous quarter.
The company’s valuation also looks attractive compared to its peers and industry averages.
