The board of Directors of Doreen Power Generations and Systems Limited in its board meeting held recently has decided to acquire 99.90 per cent shares of Chandpur Power Generations Limited.
The company had 60 per cent ownership before this decision, said a statement.
The board of directors has adopted un-audited financial statements for the third quarter ended on 31 March 2019. Consolidated EPS was Tk. 1.45 for January-March 2019 as against Tk.1.72 for January-March 2018 and consolidated EPS was Tk. 5.32 for July 2018-March 2019 as against Tk. 5.53 for July 2017-March 2018.

Due to lower demand of electricity in national grid, both production and supply of electricity have reduced. As a result, EPS has slightly decreased in the current period compared to last year, as per company source.
Currently, the company is supplying 176 mw electricity in the national grid from its existing five power plants.
Chandpur Power, a 115 MW under construction power plant will commence its commercial operation in next financial year. The management of the company expects that it will generate yearly sales revenue of about Tk.6,000 million to Tk.7,000 million by utilising only 70% of its installed capacity and company will earn about Tk.800 million net profit from this revenue.
And 99.99 per cent of this net profit will be added with Doreen Power’s current profit.
