What Is Regulatory Deferral Income?
In the power sector, electricity tariffs are determined by regulators.
Sometimes, companies incur higher costs before revised tariffs are approved. Regulators may allow these costs to be recovered in future billing cycles.
This accounting adjustment is known as regulatory deferral income or expense.
When recorded as income, it improves profitability.
When recorded as an expense, it reduces reported earnings.
In the latest quarter, the positive adjustment contributed significantly to Adani Energy's higher profit.
