    Dear Viren, you know that i’m a chem. engr. by profession and both these terms are also used in my job to check the health of my plant or for that any manufacturing plant or production unit. 🙂

    This is the reason I was able to answer it.

    Thanks

    Dear Curiousraj, I know these things are not related to finance domain but at the same time, it was an unusual query, that’s why I asked to provide the background. If someone is researching on stocks of Power companies (NTPC, TATA power, Adani Power etc.) these things ‘ll give a pointer to know the health of the company.

    Thanks

    Dear Radhe, out of the 365 days, how many days plant was in operation that’s PAF. Against the installed capacity, what’s the actual production capacity, that’s Plant load factor.

    Thanks
