A first-pass moat teardown of Reliance Power Ltd., built from single-pass filing evidence. Free note — provisional, and the full two-pass deep dive may revise it. **Moat & Margin**16 Aug 2026 First-pass · \~3 min 5.03 / 10 NARROWRegulated-led First-pass narrow read — primary edge in Cost Advantage. Provisional, single-pass evidence. Provisional score · subject to modification based on new evidence Reliance Power Ltd. scores **5.03** on MoatSCORE 6.0 — a narrow moat in Power. This is a **first-pass note**: the dimensional read and the filing receipts below come from a single GFIP evidence pass, not the full two-pass deep corpus behind our flagship deep dives. Provisional — published free while the deep version is queued. The teardown ## Seven dimensions of moat Ordered by contribution. Each dimension carries a verified filing quote, graded **\[M\]** mechanism or **\[O\]** outcome. D3Cost Advantage6 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “Sasan UMPP has the distinction of being one of the most efficient super critical thermal plants in the country in terms of fuel and water consumption.” **Reliance Power Ltd.** · Annual Report · p.6 D2Switching Costs5.5 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “signed a 25-year PPA with the SECI. This agreement pertains to the supply of 930 MW of solar power integrated with a 465 MW/1,860 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)” **Reliance Power Ltd.** · FY2024-25 Annual Report · p.178 D5Intangible Assets4.8 O · Outcome✓ Verified verbatim “citing regularisation of debt servicing in the current financial year by RPSCL, track record of the plant operations and the adequate coal availability” **Reliance Power Ltd.** · Rating Rationale 1 quote extracted here — not one mechanism-class. The evidence is outcome-only. D6Efficient Scale4.8 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “Continued efforts towards resolution of stressed generation assets in the private sector;” **Reliance Power Ltd.** · Annual Report · p.29 D1Network Effects4.5 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “Consequent to change in Indonesian law, that led to increase in coal cost, the project became unviable. DAGTPL made various attempts to restore viability through appropriate changes in PPA with the Procurers. Since no resolution could be arrived, DAGTPL invoked the dispute resolution provision of the PPA.” **Reliance Power Ltd.** · Xbrl Text D4Price Discretion4.5 No verified filing quote surfaced for this dimension in the first-pass evidence sweep. D7Counter-PositioningExcluded— Excluded for this archetype. D8Ungoverned RiskUnscored · Layer 2.5 D8 rating: **ADEQUATE**. Not part of the moat score — it governs the cost of equity and the fade window. First-pass; not yet deep-reviewed. The barrier gate ## The barrier gate — first-pass Replication — can a rival copy it?6.0 How hard it is for a rival to copy the edge (first-pass estimate). Bypass — can a rival route around it?5.0 How easily a rival can route around the edge (first-pass estimate). Effective barrier 5 — below 6, so the band is capped narrow. First-pass estimate. What would change our mind 1. **Deep two-pass review.** This draft rests on a single GFIP evidence pass; the full 10-year AR + concall corpus may move the read. 2. **The barrier gate.** A firmer replication or bypass estimate is the most likely thing to shift the band. 3. **Adverse events.** Any governance, regulatory or funding shock captured in D8 could re-rate the fade window.
