Financial Data
Unless indicated otherwise, the financial data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived from our Restated
Financial Statements. In addition, we have included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, (i) the Proforma

The work in relation to the examination report prepared by B S R & Associates LLP in respect of the Proforma
Condensed Financial Statements has not been carried out in accordance with auditing or other standards and
practices generally accepted in the United States of America or other jurisdictions and accordingly should not be
relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards and practices.
Unless the context otherwise requires, any percentage, amounts, as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Summary of
Business” “Business”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations” on pages 16, 46, 120 and 593, respectively and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have
been calculated on the basis of our Restated Financial Statements unless otherwise stated.”
Certain data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in relation to certain operating metrics, financial and
other business related information not otherwise included in the Restated Financial Statements has been reviewed
and verified by Manohar Chowdhry & Associates, Chartered Accountants.
Our Company’s financial year commences on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ends on
March 31 of that particular calendar year, so all references to a particular financial year are to the 12 month period
commencing on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ending on March 31 of that particular
calendar year. Reference in this Draft Red Herring Prospects to the terms Fiscal or Fiscal Year or Financial Year
or FY is to the 12 months ended on March 31 of each year, unless otherwise specified.
On February 16, 2015, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015 (“IAS Rules”) for the purpose of enacting changes to Indian GAAP that are intended to align Indian
GAAP further with IFRS. The IAS Rules provide that the financial information of the companies to which they
apply shall be prepared and audited in accordance with the Ind AS. We have transitioned to the Ind AS accounting
standards with effect from April 1, 2015 and have prepared our Restated Financial Statements for (i) the six
months ended September 30, 2017 and Fiscals 2017, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with Ind AS; and (ii) Fiscals
2014 and 2013 in accordance with Indian GAAP.
In accordance with the SEBI Ind AS Transition Circular and Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian
Accounting Standard, we have presented reconciliation from Indian GAAP to Ind AS in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditional and Results of Operations— Important Note on Transition
from Indian GAAP to Ind AS and its Impact on the Preparation and Presentation of the Restated Financial
Statements” on page 12 to 13. Except such reconciliation, we have not made any attempt to quantify the impact
of the differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS as applied to our financial information and it is urged that
you consult your own advisors regarding the impact of difference, if any, on financial data included in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus. Potential investors should consult their own advisers for an understanding of the principal
differences between the existing Indian GAAP and the Ind AS, and how these differences might affect the
12
financial statements appearing in this document. See “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between Ind
AS and Indian GAAP on one hand and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS on the
other, which may be material to investors’ assessment of our financial condition.” on page 39.
Indian GAAP and Ind AS differ from accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in
other countries, including IFRS and US GAAP and the reconciliation of the financial information to other
accounting principles has not been provided. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences or
quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and investors should
consult their own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our Company’s financial data. The
degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices,
Ind AS, Indian GAAP, the Companies Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar
with Indian GAAP, Ind AS, the Companies Act, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and practices on the financial
disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited and we urge you to
consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our financial data. See “Risk Factors –
Significant differences exist between Ind AS and Indian GAAP on one hand and other accounting principles,
such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS on the other, which may be material to investors’ assessment of our financial
condition.” on page 39.

SECTION II - RISK FACTORS
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the
information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below,
before making an investment in the Equity Shares. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are
not the only risks that we currently face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or
that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known
or are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition
could suffer, the price of the Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed
in the risk factors mentioned below. However, there are risk factors where the effect is not quantifiable and
hence has not been disclosed in such risk factors. In making an investment decision, prospective investors
must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of the Offer, including the merits and
risks involved. Unless otherwise stated, the financial information of the Company used in this section is
derived from our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.
1. Interruption in coal supply or an increase in the cost of co al may adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operation and cash flow.
The success of our operations depends on, among other things, the ability to source sufficient amount of
coal, the principal raw material for our thermal power assets at competitive prices. Our total coal
requirement comprises a mix of domestic coal and imported coal. We have entered into long -term fuel
supply agreements (“FSA”) with Mahanadi Coal Fields Limited (“MCL”), a subsidiary of Coal India
Limited (“CIL”) for the supply of domestic coal, and have entered into agreements with international
suppliers for imported coal for our thermal operations. See “ Business – SEIL Power Plant – Coal and
water supply” and “Business – SGPL Power Plant – Coal and water supply” on pages 130 and 132,
respectively for further details. These arrangements expose our thermal power assets to supply risks if there
is a disruption in the supply of coal from any of our suppliers. There is no assurance that our suppliers will
be able to satisfy their contractual obligations under the agreements, which could affect our ability to fulfill
our commitments under the power purchase agreements (“PPA”). We may be required to purchase coal at
a higher spot price from the market if MCL is unable to meet its supply obligations, which could have a
material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. While we
have entered into a FSA with MCL for the supply of coal to the SGPL Power Plant, it will only beco me
effective when we enter into a long-term PPA for the supply of power generated at the SGPL Power Plant.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into these long-term PPAs for the SGPL Power Plant
and any failure to do so, in a timely manner or at all, could affect our ability to procure domestic coal from
MCL under the FSA.
As domestic coal allocation is determined by policies issued by the Government of India (“ GoI”) and
domestic coal prices are set by CIL, our operational and financial flexib ility in relation to our coal supply
is limited. Moreover, the availability and cost of coal is subject to volatility based on global commodity
markets, available coal reserves, the quality and grade of coal available and other factors that may be
beyond our control. As our coal costs are not fully passed through to our customers under our PPAs, any
increase in the coal price may have a direct impact on our margins, which could have a material adverse
impact on our operations, financial condition and results of operations.
Any constraints on sourcing adequate quantities of coal at commercially reasonable costs, and of acceptable
grade, quality or other specifications required for our operations, may adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations. High dependence on domestic coal could expose
us to potential price and coal availability risks in India. Any shortage of coal would affect the productivity
of our thermal power assets. Even though we source coal from imports , there is no assurance that such
sources of coal will continue to be available to us in the future at reasonable prices and terms, or at all.
2. Seasonality, wind and solar conditions could cause fluctuations in our business, which could have
a material impact on our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
16
The revenues generated by our wind and solar assets are proportional to the amount of electricity generated,
which in turn is dependent upon available environmental conditions. Wind and solar conditions have natural
variations across seasons and may change because of climate change or other factors. In some periods, the
wind or solar conditions may fall within our long-term estimates but not within the averages expected for
such period. A sustained decline in conditions or shutdown at our wind or solar powe r assets could lead to
a material adverse change in the volume of electricity generated and adversely affect our business, revenues,
cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Wind power is highly dependent on weather conditions and particularly, on wind conditions. The
profitability of our wind power assets depends not only on observed wind conditions at the site, which are
inherently variable, but also on whether observed wind conditions are consistent with assumptions made
during the asset development phase. We base our decisions on site selection in part on the findings of wind
and other meteorological studies conducted by us and validated by independent renewable energy
consulting firms in the proposed area, which measure the wind’s spe ed, prevailing direction and seasonal
variations. Because studies of this type do not reflect the actual performance of wind generating turbines
once built, the actual electricity generated by our wind assets may not meet our anticipated production
levels or the rated capacity of the turbines located there. Actual wind conditions at these sites, however,
may not conform to the measured data in these studies and may be affected by variations in weather patterns,
including any potential impact of climate change. Therefore, the electricity generated by our wind power
assets may not meet our anticipated production levels, which could adversely affect our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations. If the wind resources at an asset were b elow the average
level that we expect, our rate of return for the asset would be below our expectations. In addition, our results
of operations may fluctuate significantly during a year and comparisons of operating results between
different periods within a single financial year may not be meaningful and may not be indicative of our
overall performance. For example, our operations at the Dandri wind power asset were affected due to a
storm in Fiscal 2016.
Projections of wind resources also rely on assumptions about turbine placement, interference between
turbines and the effects of vegetation, land use and terrain, which involve uncertainty and require us to
exercise considerable judgment. There may be errors in conducting or validating these wind and other
meteorological studies. Any of these factors could cause our development sites to have less wind potential
than expected, or cause us to develop our sites in ways that do not optimize their potential, which could
cause the return on our investment in these assets to be lower than expected.
The electricity produced and revenues generated by our solar assets are highly dependent on suitable solar
conditions and associated weather conditions, which are beyond our control. Furthermore, components of
our systems, such as solar panels and inverters could be damaged by severe weather conditions, such as
hailstorms, tornadoes or lightning strikes. We are generally obligated to bear the expense of repairing the
damaged equipment that we own, and replacement and spare parts for key components may be difficult or
costly to acquire or may be unavailable. Unfavorable weather conditions could impair the effectiveness of
our assets or reduce their output beneath their rated capacity or require shutdown of key equipment,
impeding operation of our solar assets and our ability to achieve certain performance guarantees pursuant
to our PPAs, forecasted revenues and cash flows. Sustained unfavorable weather could also unexpectedly
delay the installation of solar power systems, which could result in a delay in us acquiring new assets or
increase the cost of such assets. We base our investment decisions with respect to each solar asset on the
findings of related solar studies conducted on-site prior to construction. However, actual climatic conditions
at an asset site may not conform to the findings of these studies and therefore, our facilities may not meet
anticipated production levels or the rated capacity of its generation assets, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Seasonality also affects the generation and demand for electricity which could impact the plant availability
and Plant Load Factor (“PLF”) of our thermal plants. During summer, demand for electricit y is higher and
decreases during the monsoon and spring seasons, before increasing slightly during the winter season. Other
sources of power generation, such as hydroelectricity which peaks during the monsoon season could
adversely affect the demand for electricity from other renewable sources. This variation in demand, could
impact our cash flows and results of operations.
17
3. Our key customers are mostly state owned distribution companies (“DISCOMs”) and any failure
by our customers to meet their contractual commitments, or insolvency or liquidation of our customers,
or our inability to enter into or renew our long-term PPAs, could adversely affect our business, results
of operations and cash flows.
We depend on sale of electricity to certain key customers, and our operations are highly dependent upon
such customers fulfilling their contractual obligations under the PPAs. Over 40% of our to tal thermal
capacity and over 96% of our renewable capacity is contracted under long-term PPAs (i.e., PPAs which are
effective for a duration of 3 years or more) with state DISCOMs and other private customers. There may
be delays associated with collection of receivables from government owned or controlled entities because
of the financial condition of these entities. Many of these state DISCOMs may have low credit ratings.
Although the central and state governments have taken steps to improve the liquidity, financial condition
and viability of DISCOMs there can be no assurance that DISCOMs that are currently our customer s will
have the resources to pay us on time, or at all. Any deterioration in the financial or liquidity position of these
DISCOMs could severely affect our cash flows on account of delay in payment of power offtake under the PPAs.
We have in the past faced, and continue to face delays in payment by certain DISCOMs in India. In addition,
the creditworthiness of the parties with whom we have entered into PPAs may change over a period of time,
which may affect their ability to pay us on time or at all. Our customers may not comply with their
contractual payment obligations or may become subject to insolvency or liquidation proceedings during the
term of the relevant PPAs, and the credit support received from such customers may not be sufficient to
cover our losses in the event of a failure to perform. These conditions could cause working capital shortages
and adversely affect our cash flows, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and cash flows.
We expect to contract our remaining thermal capacity under long-term and short-term PPAs, or trade on
the spot market, and expect to enter into long-term PPAs for our renewable capacity, which is under
construction. Our profitability is largely a function of the availability of P PAs in the market, our ability to
enter into PPAs with favorable terms and our ability to manage our costs during the tenor of our PPAs.
There has been a decline in the availability of long-term PPAs in the market, according to CRISIL, and
there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into favorable long -term PPAs for our remaining
capacity. Our ability to contract our remaining capacity also depends on our ability to compete with other
power producers in the market in the competitive bidding process. If we are unable to enter into profitable
PPAs, it could have a significant impact on our operations and results of operations. For example, 570.00
MW of power generated at the SEIL Power Plant is contracted for a period of eight years with the Southe rn
Power DISCOM of Telangana and the Northern Power DISCOMs of Telangana Limited , commencing from
March 31, 2016. After the term of the PPA, we may be unable to enter into a PPA on favorable terms or
may fail to contract the available capacity in its entirety. If we are unable to contract our remaining capacity
with favorable terms this could affect our ability to manage our costs effectively and adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We are also subject to volume and price risks for the thermal power that is contracted on a merchant basis.
Particularly, our ability to contract our thermal capacity is subject to fluctuating demand for power and the
consequent fluctuations in price. These conditions could affect our ability to contract our thermal power
capacity on favorable terms, and may cause a material adverse impact on our business, prospects and results
of operation.
4. Our PPAs may expose us to certain risks that may affect our future results of operations and cash
flows
Our profitability is largely a function of our ability to manage our costs during the terms of our PPAs and
operate our power assets at optimal levels. In the event we default in fulfilling our obligations under the
PPAs, such as supplying the minimum amount of power specified under certain of the PPAs, or failing to
obtain regulatory approvals, licenses and clearances with respect to our assets, we may be liable for
penalties in certain specified events, and customers may terminate such PPAs. The termination of any PPA
by our customers would adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and cash flows.
Under our long-term PPAs for the SEIL Power Plant, we sell power generated to state DISCOMs at pre -
determined tariffs. Accordingly, if there is an industry wide increase in tariffs or if we are seeking an
extension of the term of the PPAs, we may not be able to amend the terms of the PPA to take advantage of
the increased tariffs. In addition, in the event of increased opera tional costs, we may not have the ability to
18
reflect a corresponding increase in our tariffs. Therefore, the prices at which we supply power may have
little or no relationship with the costs incurred in generating power that may lead to fluctuations in our
margins. Further, if the grid tariffs for our group captive customers decreases, our realization on our group
captive tariffs will be reduced or our group captive PPAs may be terminated, either of which could affect
the financial viability of these assets and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The above
factors all limit our business flexibility, expose us to an increased risk of unforeseen business and industry
changes and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of oper ations and cash flows.
In the power generation business, there are often other restrictions on a company’s ability to sell power to third
parties and undertake expansion initiatives with other consumers. For example, under the terms of the PPA with
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (“MSEDCL”), upon expiration of the term of the
PPA, MSEDCL has the right of first refusal to continue procuring power from our wind asset at the current rate
or at the rate determined by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (“MERC”), whichever is lower.
Similarly, the PPAs entered into with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (“GUVNL”) requires us to sell all power
generated from our wind power asset on a first priority basis to GUVNL. With respect to our 20.00 MW wind
power asset at Ramdurga, Karnataka, and our 24.00 MW and 25.50 MW wind power assets at Theni, Tamil Nadu,
the relevant state government entity must approve our list of customers and the allocation of electricity. There can
be no assurance that these approvals would be forthcoming in the event a change of customers or change in the
allocation of electricity among our customers is required. Additionally, under the PPAs, our remedies in case of
delays in payment by our customers may also be limited. For example, our PPAs with respect to our wind power
assets in Pratapgarh, Rajasthan permit us to terminate the PPAs after the first 10 years of operation only because
of non-payment of electricity dues for three consecutive months by the relevant DISCOMs (and if such breach is
not cured within a period stipulated in the PPA). Such risks limit our business flexibility, expose us to an increased
risk of unforeseen business and industry changes and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and cash flows.
In addition, our PPAs impose obligations on us to perform operation and maintenance (“ O&M”) operations
for which we have an in-house O&M team for our thermal power assets and depend on third -party O&M
contractors for our renewable energy assets. Any failure by our O&M contractors could result in our breach
of the PPAs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover all or any of the default payments
made by us under the PPAs from our O&M contractors.
Our two long-term PPAs relating to the SEIL Power Plant expire on April 19, 2040 and March 30, 2024
respectively. Such long-term arrangements have inherent risks because they restrict our operational and
financial flexibility. For example, we may not be able to take advantage of beneficial market conditions or
sector dynamics, such as high merchant power tariffs or mitigate adverse market conditions, such as fuel
price increases in any of the long-term PPAs. Business circumstances may materially change over the li fe
of our assets and we may not have the ability to modify our agreements with government entities, financial
institutions or customers to reflect these changes or enter into alternative arrangements. Such risks could
have a material adverse impact on our costs, results of operations and revenue.
5. Any inability of our thermal, wind or solar power assets to generate or deliver electricity may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows
We are dependent on our thermal, wind and solar power assets being able to generate and deliver electricity
to customers. The following events could lead to a material adverse change in the volume of electricity
generated and affect our ability to supply guaranteed electricity under o ur PPAs and other short-term PPAs,
which could have a material adverse impact on our business, revenues, cash flows, financial condition and
results of operations.
prolonged or adverse weather conditions in states in which we operate, leading to a sustai ned
decline in the thermal, wind and solar conditions or a shutdown of our asset sites. For example, we
faced a slowdown in our operations as a result of floods in at the Rojmal power asset in Gujarat in
November 2015. Such incidents could also impact our PLF and plant availability;
prolonged interruptions in coal supply to our thermal power assets due to poor infrastructure,
strikes or accidents;
disruptions in the operations of our power assets, including for reasons that are beyond our control,
such as explosions, fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters, breakdown, failure or
19
substandard performance of equipment, improper installation or operation of equipment,
operational problems, other environmental risks, labor disputes, regional or political unrest. For
example our operations at the Dangri power asset were affected due damage caused to the 33.00
KV transmission lines due to a storm in Fiscal 2016. Our operations at the Rojmal I and II power
assets were also affected due to an emergency shutdown of our fleet, initiated by a fire in one of
our machines which was triggered by a generator failure.
water shortages, failure to find alternate sources of water or failure in our reverse osmosis plant
which would impact the operations of our power assets;
accidents or malfunctions at our power assets, including malfunctions of port facilities, rail and
road connectivity to our asset sites. For example, we depend primarily on the Krishnapatnam port
and the closed pipe conveyer belt for transporting coal to our power assets. Any disruption at the
port site or malfunction of the conveyer belt system, could adversely affect our operations.
regulatory and policy changes which could impact the operation of our thermal, wind and solar
power assets. For example, we are required to install Flue-gas Desulfurization plants at our thermal
power assets as a result of the recent regulatory changes in India;
any monetary claim or litigation arising out of any of the risks set out above.
6. Our ability to add to our power capacity is subject to our success in competitive bidding for power
procurement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively, and our failure to do so
could result in an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We operate in an increasingly competitive environment. This is particularly the case because of the deregulation
of the Indian power sector in the last few years and increased private sector investment. These reforms provide
opportunities for increased private sector participation in power generation. Specifically, the open access reform
enables private power generators to sell power directly to distribution companies and, ultimately to the end
consumer, enhancing the financial viability of private investment in power generation in India. As a result, we
have to compete with other Indian companies and international power companies to generate power in India.
Competitive bidding for power procurement further increases competition among power generators.
In the wind power sector in India, competition between new and existing wind power producers is focused on
acquiring new or existing sites for wind power assets (in particular, sites with favourable wind conditions and
existing grid connection infrastructure). The wind sector has witnessed a change in regime from feed-in-tariffs to
competitive bidding, which has resulted in more direct competition among wind power producers and the resultant
pricing pressures.
Our primary competitors include both domestic and foreign companies. A reduction in demand for power
from clean power sources or our failure to identify and adapt to new technologies or to successfully acquire
new clean power assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. Furthermore, technological progress in conventional forms of electricity generation or the
discovery of large new deposits of conventional fuels could reduce the cost of electricity generated from
those sources or make them more environmentally friendly, and as a consequence reduce the demand for
electricity from clean power sources or render our renewable energy assets uncompetitive. We may also
compete with other thermal power and renewable power generators, when we bid on a long-term PPA,
which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
Our competitors may have greater resources than we do and may be able to achieve better economies of scale,
allowing them to bid at more competitive rates. We may face the pressure of decreased margins due to such
competition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively, and our failure to do so could
result in an adverse effect on our business growth and results of operations.
7. Any constraints in the availability of the electricity grid, including our inability to obtain access to
transmission lines in a timely and cost-efficient manner, could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and cash flows.
20
Evacuating power to a purchaser is our responsibility. We generally rely on transmission lines and other
transmission and distribution facilities that are owned and operated by the state governments or public
entities, in which we operate. Where we do not have access to available transmission and distribution
networks, we engage contractors to build transmission lines and other related infrastructure, which exposes
us to additional costs and related risks, such as obtaining right of way approvals from landowners, which
may delay and increase the costs of our assets under construction. We may not be able to secure access to
the available transmission and distribution networks at reasonable prices, on time or at all.
Further, some of our assets may have limited access to transmission and distribution networks. India’s
physical infrastructure, including its electricity grid is less developed than that of many developed
countries. The transmission and dispatch of the full output of our rene wable energy assets may be curtailed
due to fluctuating renewable power voltages, causing grid constraints, such as grid congestion and
restrictions on transmission capacity of the grid. For example, due to less developed grid infrastructure
where our power assets are established, the electricity generated by wind power assets in such areas may
cause frequency disturbances that may lead to power curtailments, a limitation that we currently face and
have historically faced at our operational wind power assets situated in the States of Tamil Nadu and
Rajasthan, India. We may have to stop producing electricity during the period when electricity cannot be
transmitted due to grid congestion or other grid constraints. Such events could reduce the net power
generation of our renewable energy assets. If construction of renewable energy assets outpaces transmission
capacity of electricity grids, we may be dependent on the construction and upgrade of grid infrastructure
by the government or public entities. We cannot assure you that the relevant government or public entities
will do so in a timely manner, or at all. The curtailment of our wind power assets’ output levels will reduce
our electricity output and limit operational efficiencies, which in turn could have an a dverse effect on our
business, results of operations and cash flows.
Moreover, in the event of a failure in the transmission facilities, we may lose revenue from such power
assets, and even incur penalties or additional costs under our existing PPAs or fro m other claims for
compensation from our customers. Transmission limitations may cause us to curtail production of
electricity, impairing our ability to fully capitalize on a particular asset’s potential. Frequent transmission
disruptions may also cause damage to wind energy generations (“WEG”) and other asset infrastructure,
which may impair their ability to operate at full potential in the future or may require additional cost to
restore them to full capacity. Any such failures or disruptions could have a n adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and cash flows.
8. We may experience delays in construction of our assets, which may increase our construction costs
beyond our initial estimates and could adversely affect our business, results of opera tions and cash
flows.
We may experience delays in the completion of our wind assets that are under construction and those we
set up in the future, and the total construction costs of these assets may exceed our initial estimates. Factors
such as, delays in land acquisition, delay or failure in obtaining required financial assistance, failure to
receive design compliant critical components and equipment from third parties on time, could affect our
construction schedule. Other factors, such as failure to complete interconnection networks on time; failure
to receive adequate third-party services; lack of transportation infrastructure; failure to secure and maintain
regulatory permits and approvals; litigation risks; inclement weather conditions, events beyond o ur control,
and, changes in applicable laws and policies, may affect the commissioning schedule of our future assets,
including our assets under construction. Political changes and delays caused by state and local elections,
demonstrations or protests by local communities and special interest groups could result in, or contribute
to, asset time and cost overruns. In the past, we have experienced delays in completing certain of our
operational assets because of delays in land acquisition obtaining necessary regulatory permits and
contracting with WEGs. Any of these factors could give rise to construction delays and increase our
construction costs in excess of our estimates, which could prevent us from completing the construction of
our assets on time and delay commissioning. For example, the construction of the SEIL Power Plant was
delayed among other reasons, because of interruptions from the local community during the initial stages
of the project and delays caused by engineering, procurement and constructio n (“EPC”) contracts. This
could result in a discrepancy between our expected installed capacity and actual installed capacity; cause
defaults under our financing agreements and adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash
flows.
21
9. Technological changes, evolving customer requirements and emerging industry trends may affect
our business by making our equipment or power assets less competitive or obsolete.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to respond to technological advance s and emerging
power generation industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. For example, the
discovery of more viable or cheaper forms of power, may render our power assets less competitive, and
adversely affect demand for the power we generate. The development and implementation of such
technology entails technical and business risks and significant costs of implementation. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully implement new technologies or adapt our proc essing systems
to evolving customer requirements or emerging industry standards. Changes in technology may make newer
generation power assets more competitive than ours or may require us to make additional capital
expenditure to upgrade our facilities. If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to
adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions, evolving customer requirements or technological
changes, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be advers ely affected.
10. The profitability of our renewable and thermal power assets and viability of our growth plans
depend largely on government policies and the regulatory framework supporting renewable energy
development, including the availability and size of government subsidies, tax benefits and other
economic incentives, which may be reduced or discontinued in the future.
We depend on government policies and regulations for the operation of our power assets. Some of the key
government and other incentives we benefit from include:
preferential tariffs for wind and solar power assets under long-term PPAs;
Generation Based Incentives (“GBI”) schemes for certain wind power assets;
For projects commissioned before March 31, 2017, a 10-year tax holiday for certain power assets under
Section 80IA(4)(iv) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (“Income Tax Act”)
our ability to sell Voluntary Emission Reductions (“VERs”), Certified Emission Reductions (“CERs”) and
Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”) and the revenues generated from the sale of VERs, CERs and
RECs; and
the availability of accelerated depreciation for wind and solar power assets.
There is no assurance that the GoI will continue to provide incentives and allow favorable policies to be
applicable to us. There is also no assurance that the prevailing favorable policies will be effectively implemented
or enforced, or that we will be able to avail full benefit under such policies or schemes. For example, although
various State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (“SERCs”) have specified Renewable Purchase Obligations
(“RPOs”) for their distribution companies, the implementation of RPO schemes has not been uniform across
states. In the absence of uniform implementation of RPO schemes, the demand for, and trading of, RECs has
not been high and, therefore, RECs have generally traded at the lower end of the price band specified by the
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”). For projects that are commissioned after March 31,
2017, we do not get benefits of the 10-year tax holiday under the Income Tax Act.
The GoI may also impose Renewable Generation Obligations (“RGOs”) or other similar obligations on our
thermal plants, which may cause us to incur additional costs in order to continue generating and supplying
power.
In addition, since the process to register assets eligible for REC schemes can be complicated and time-
consuming, the timing and outcome of registration applications can be uncertain. Even after REC registration is
obtained, application has to be made for renewal upon its expiration and there can be no assurance that there
will not be delays in recognition of revenue generated from REC schemes in the future, for instance, in the event
of a change in accounting standards. If entities with RPOs under respective state legislations do not comply with
their obligations or no meaningful enforcement mechanism, such as a system of penalties, is put in place and
implemented, we may not be able to sell RECs within their validity period of 1,095 days. In addition, any
22
reduction in the floor or forbearance price of RECs by the CERC could adversely affect our revenues. Even with
successful policy implementation and registration of our assets, there may not be enough liquidity in the market
to sell RECs, which may result in RECs remaining unsold. Such uncertainties and issues in relation to
implementation of renewable energy incentive schemes may adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
Further, increased emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the possibility of trading carbon dioxide
emission quotas has led to extra duties being levied on sources of power, primarily fossil fuels, which cause
carbon dioxide pollution. The imposition of these duties has indirectly supported the expansion of power
generated from renewable energy and, in turn, wind and solar power assets in general. If this direct and indirect
Government support for renewable energy were terminated or reduced, it would make producing electricity from
wind and solar power assets less competitive and reduce demand for new wind and solar power assets.
The GoI and State Governments may reduce or eliminate these economic incentives for political, financial or
other reasons. For example, in 2012, the benefit of accelerated depreciation at the rate of 80.00% of the cost of
wind power asset equipment was restricted to assets commissioned before March 31, 2012. However, the GoI
has subsequently announced restoration of such benefit for wind power assets in the Union Budget 2014-2015.
In addition, policy incentives are typically available for a limited period, and there can be no assurance that the
validity of such schemes will be extended. For example, in relation to wind assets, the GBI scheme is currently
applicable to assets commissioned on or before March 31, 2017 and the prices fixed by the CERC for the REC
market trading mechanism are to remain valid up to financial year 2017. If policies and incentives are changed
or discontinued to our detriment before our wind power assets reach the economies of scale necessary to become
cost-effective in a non-subsidized market, we could be forced to compete directly against producers of electricity
from non-renewable sources in the sale of electricity and the setting of tariffs, which could make our renewable
energy assets economically unviable.
11. We are developing the capability to construct our wind assets in -house and reduce our reliance on
the turnkey model. Any failure to transition and maintain these activities in-house could affect our
business prospects and results of operations.
We are developing the capability to construct our wind power assets in-house and reduce our dependence on the
turnkey model. However, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient in-house capabilities to undertake
self-development of wind power assets. We may face certain challenges related to increased costs of equipment
and construction material, labor disputes, business and legal issues associated with acquisition of land and
complications and delays frequently encountered in the development of renewable energy assets may impede
our ability to construct and operate our wind power assets in a timely and cost-efficient manner. This could
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
12. We depend on various contractors or specialist agencies to construct, maintain and provide certain
other services related to our power assets and we are exposed to risks relating to the timing or quality
of their services, equipment and supplies.
We enter into contracts with vendors to supply equipment, materials and other goods and services for the
operation of our assets as well as for other business operations, such as O&M. While we ma intain a
diversified set of vendors, we remain subject to the risk that vendors do not perform their obligations. If
vendors do not perform their obligations, or if they fail to deliver any components that have a manufacturing
defect or do not comply with the specified quality standards and technical specifications, we may suffer
disruptions in our operations or may have to enter into new contracts with other vendors at a higher cost.
Such events could have a material and adverse impact on our power generat ing capacity. If any shutdowns
continue for extended periods, this could give rise to contractual penalties or liabilities, loss of customers
and damage to our reputation. Although we are entitled to compensation from manufacturers and third party
service providers for certain equipment failures and defects in certain cases, these arrangements may not
fully compensate us for the damage and loss suffered as a result thereof.
Additionally, the demand for contractors with specialist design, engineering and ass et management skills
and services has increased in India, resulting in a shortage of and increasing costs to hire such contractors.
We cannot assure you that such skilled and experienced contractors will continue to be available at
reasonable rates or may have the capacity to take on additional work, and may be exposed to risks relating
to the quality of their services, equipment and supplies. Some of our contractors may not have significant
experience in the tasks for which we have engaged them. However, we cannot assure you that in the future
23
we will be able to purchase a sufficient quantity of WEGs (and other necessary equipment) that meets our
quality requirements at acceptable terms, and in a timely manner. We also cannot assure you that our
WEG suppliers will not delay delivery to us or prioritize delivery to other market participants, including
our competitors. Our reliance on a few WEG suppliers and our existing limited relationships with other
suppliers exposes us to certain risks, including the loss of any of these suppliers, capacity constraints that
may prevent suppliers from accepting new orders, the inability to find replacement suppliers at acceptable
terms and in a timely manner, or an adverse change in the terms of our existing contractual agr eements
with our suppliers. Further, any infringement of third party intellectual property rights by our EPC
contractors may result in potential claims against us. The occurrence of any such events could delay our
commercial operation of our assets under construction and operational assets, which in turn could
adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Power generation facilities are also subject to mechanical failure and equipment shutdowns. In such
situations, undamaged units may be dependent on or interact with damaged sections or units and,
accordingly, may need to be shut down. We rely on sophisticated and complex machinery that may be
susceptible to malfunction such as boilers, turbines, generators and oth er plant systems, including a coal
handling plant, ash handling plant and water treatment plant, among others. Any compensation
arrangements with our suppliers may not fully compensate us for the damage that we may suffer because
of equipment failures, defects or penalties under our agreements, and may not cover indirect losses such as
loss of profits or business interruption. If such events occur, the ability of our assets to supply electricity
may be adversely affected, which would have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our O&M agreements are typically valid for a period ranging from five to 10 years from the commissioning
of a wind power asset. O&M expenses for our wind power assets during the fir st few years of their
operations are typically not material. As and when the pre-agreed fees become payable under our O&M
agreements, our expenses will significantly increase. If we are unable to renew our O&M agreements prior
to their expiration on acceptable terms or at all, or if any of our O&M service providers liquidate or suspend
their business, we will need to identify and engage a reliable O&M contractor as a replacement. We may
be unable to do so promptly, which can adversely affect our operations, business and results of operations.
Our O&M agreements may be terminated by either party, which means our O&M contractor has the
capability to withhold critical spares, parts, services and access to our assets, all of which may result in
disruption to our operations and a negative impact on our ability to generate and supply power.
Contractors and suppliers in our business are generally subject to liquidated damages payments for failure
to achieve timely completion or performance shortfalls. Liability of c ontractors and suppliers under our
EPC and O&M agreements, including any such liquidated damages, is generally limited to a specified
amount or a percentage of the contract price or annual fees. We may not be able to recover the full amount
of losses that are suffered by us from a contractor or supplier due to any failure to achieve timely completion
or performance shortfalls. Any disruption in our business relationships with our third party contractors may
also result in delays or disruption of their services to us, which may adversely affect our results of
operations.
13. We are required to maintain certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary course of business, and
the failure to maintain them may adversely affect our operations.
Our business is highly regulated and we require a number of approvals, licenses, registrations and permits
to operate our business in India. Additionally, we may need to apply for more approvals, including the
renewal of approvals which may expire, from time to time, as and when re quired in the ordinary course. If
we fail to obtain or renew such licenses, approvals, registrations and permits in a timely manner, we may
not be able to operate our power asset on time, or at all, which could affect our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. We are required to obtain and maintain consents, approvals,
registrations and permits with respect to use of boilers, water availability, charging of generator
transformers, chimney constructions and factory licenses in ad dition to consents required from the
respective pollution control boards under the Air Act, Water Act and Hazardous Waste Rules.
Furthermore, our Government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, including
adherence to emission standards and regular monitoring and compliance requirements, some of which are
onerous and require us to incur substantial expenditure. We may incur substantial costs, including clean up
or remediation costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as a result of violations of or liabilities under
24
environmental or health and safety laws, which may have an adverse effect on our business or financial
condition. We cannot assure you that approvals, licenses, registrations and permits issued to us would not
be suspended or revoked in the event of non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant
to any regulatory action. Any failure to renew the approvals that have expired or apply for and obtain the
required approvals, licenses, registrations or permits, or any suspension or revocation of any approvals,
licenses, registrations and permits that have been or may be issued to us, may adversely affect our
operations. See “Government and Other Approvals” on page 637 for more details, including such approvals
for which applications are pending before relevant authorities.
14. If the operation at one or more of our power assets is disrupted, including for reasons beyond our
control, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows an d financial
condition.
The operation of our power assets may be disrupted, including for reasons that are beyond our control, such
as theft, sabotage, disruption by local community, explosions, fires, natural disasters, breakdown, failure
or substandard performance of equipment, improper installation or operation of equipment, accidents,
operational problems, transmission or transportation interruptions, other environmental risks, and labour
disputes.
Power generation facilities are also subject to mechanical failure and equipment shutdowns. In such
situations, undamaged units may be dependent on or interact with damaged sections or units and,
accordingly, are also subject to the risk of being shut down. We rely on extremely sophisticated and
complex machinery that may be susceptible to malfunction. If such operational difficulties occur in the
future, the ability of our power assets to supply electricity to off-takers may be adversely affected. In the
event any power generation facility is significantly dama ged or forced to shut down for a significant period
of time, this may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
15. Negative public or community response to our assets can adversely affect our ability t o operate our
assets.
Negative public or community response to our assets can adversely affect our ability to operate our assets.
This type of negative response can lead to legal, public relations and other challenges that impede our
ability to maintain operational efficiency and generate revenues. An increase in opposition to our requests
for permits or successful challenges or appeals to permits issued to us could materially adversely affect our
development plans and operations.
The construction and operation of wind and solar power assets may face opposition from the local
communities where these plants are located and from special interest groups. For example, WEGs cause
noise and shadow flicker and are considered by some to be aesthetically unappealing. Certain environmental
organizations have expressed opposition to WEGs claiming that wind power assets have caused damage to
the environment. Certain communities in India have claimed that the local climate has been adversely
affected by the operation of WEGs. Any such opposition by local communities, non-governmental
organizations and other parties may lead to the relocation of the wind and solar power assets, or result in
delay in or discontinuance of operation, development or construction of such affecte d assets, which could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, GoI recommend (but do not mandate) a
distance of at least 300.00 meters between wind power assets and habitation o r highways. It is possible that
such guidelines could be amended to make them more stringent and place further restrictions on distance,
or to limit the size or height of WEGs in a given area, to prohibit the installation of WEGs at certain sites,
or to impose other restrictions, such as noise requirements. A significant increase in the extent of such
legislation or other restrictions could cause significant constraints on the growth of the wind power industry
as a whole. This would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
16. We have significant planned capital expenditures and may not be able to raise the additional funds
required to meet these requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
25
Our capital expenditure plan is subject to a number of variables, including possible cost overruns, construction
delays or defects, receipt of certain governmental approvals that have been applied for, availability of financing
on acceptable terms and changes in management’s views of the desirability of current plans, among others. We
have not yet obtained sufficient funding to finance the construction costs of our assets under construction. The
actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ from our estimates as a result of, among
other things, unforeseen delays or cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes, engineering design
changes, weather-related delays and technological changes. The financing required for such investments may not
be available to us on acceptable terms or at all and we may be restricted by the terms and conditions of our existing
or future financing agreements. If we decide to raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest
obligations will increase, which could significantly affect financial measures such as our earnings per share. If we
decide to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, your ownership interest in our Company will be
diluted. Our ability to finance our capital expenditure plans is also subject to a number of risks, contingencies and
other factors, some of which are beyond our control, including borrowing or lending restrictions under applicable
laws, any restrictions on the amount of dividend payable and general economic and capital markets conditions.
Further, we cannot assure you that our operations will be able to generate cash flows sufficient to cover such costs.
Any inability to obtain sufficient financing could result in the delay, reduction or abandonment of our
development, expansion and acquisition plans. As a result, if adequate capital is not available, there could be an
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
17. Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain our management team and other key
personnel. Any failure to attract and retain such personnel could have a material adverse impact on
our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Our performance depends on the continued service of our management team and skilled personnel. We face
a continuous challenge to recruit and retain a sufficient number of suitably skilled personnel, particularly
as we implement our growth and expansion strategy. Generally, there is significant competitio n for
management and other skilled personnel in India and in the businesses in which we operate, and it may be
difficult to attract and retain the skilled personnel we need. In particular, even if we were to increase our
pay structures to attract and retain such personnel, we may be unable to compete with other companies for
suitably skilled personnel to the extent they are able to provide more competitive compensation and
benefits. Furthermore, we may not be able to redeploy and retrain our employees to ke ep pace with
continuing changes, evolving standards and changing customer preferences. The loss of key personnel,
including those of Sembcorp Utilities Pte. Ltd (“SCU”), may have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
18. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage
demands by our employees or any other kind of disputes with our employees.
We had 864 full-time employees as of December 31, 2017. We have had no instances of strikes or labor
unrest since we commenced operations. However, we may experience disruptions in our operations due to
disputes or other problems with our workforce, and efforts by our employees to modify compensation and
other terms of employment may divert management’s attention and increase operating expenses. The
occurrence of such events could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.
From time to time, we also enter into contracts with independent contractors to complete specific
assignments and these contractors are required to provide the labor necessary to complete such assignments.
Although we do not engage these laborers directly, it is possible under Indian law th at we may be held
responsible for wage payments to laborers engaged by contractors should the contractors default on wage
payments. Any requirement to fund such payments may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. While the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 does
not require us to retain contract laborers as our employees, on a case -by-case basis, the Indian courts have
directed employers in the past to absorb contract laborers as employees. Any such order from a court or
any other regulatory authority may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results
of operations.
19. Our operations can cause injury to people or property and therefore could subject us to significant
disruptions in our business, legal and regulatory actions, costs and liabilities.
26
The power generation business requires our employees and workmen to work under potentially dangerous
circumstances, which could lead to mechanical and electrical failures due to improper installation of
components and power cables, corrosion of equipment and weather-related or other risks related to
structural integrity post-commissioning. Operation of our WEGs, blades, transformers and interconnection
infrastructure can be dangerous and may cause significant personal injury to our employees or other
persons, severe damage to and destruction of property, plant and equipment, and contamination of, or
damage to, the environment. For example, storms and extreme weather conditions have caused short circuits
or material equipment failure at our thermal power assets and wind equipment, solar panels and
transmission lines have been uprooted or damaged. These situations could cause significant disruption in
our operations, subject us to legal and regulatory actions, and additional costs and liabilities, which could
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, our thermal power assets may experience boiler tube leakages, pressure issues in re lation to the
turbine, generators, coal-crushing plant, utilities, cooling towers, steam transfer systems or any other parts
of the thermal plants, all of which could lead to damage and injury to people or property.
We are dependent on the capacity and reliability of the communications, information and technology systems
supporting our operations, whether developed, owned and operated by us or by third parties. Operational risks,
such as trading or operational errors or interruptions of our financial, accounting, trading, compliance and other
data processing systems, whether caused by the failure to prevent or mitigate data losses and other security
breaches, or other cyber security threats or attacks, fire or other disaster and power or telecommunications failure,
could result in a disruption of our business or cause reputational damage, and thus have a material adverse effect
on our business.
20. Nearby structures may interfere with the operating performance of our wind power assets.
Structures such as buildings or other WEGs near our wind power assets may reduce our wind resources due to
the disruption of wind flows, known as “wake effects”. In connection with the development of a wind power
asset, land use rights are acquired only for the land underlying a WEG and nearby infrastructure. The GoI could
grant land use rights for nearby land which, when developed, would have a negative wake effect on our wind
power assets. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that holders of the land use rights related to land near our
wind asset sites will not lease or transfer their land use rights to other developers who may construct WEGs or
other structures. Any of the above may reduce the operating performance of our wind power assets, which could
have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
21. Our success depends on the reliable and stable supply of water to our thermal power assets. In the
event of water shortages, our power assets may be required to reduce their water consumption, which
would reduce their power generation capability.
Our thermal power assets require a substantial amount of water, which is critical to the operations of our power
assets. We have procured licenses to desalinate and use seawater from the Bay of Bengal for our power assets.
In the event of water shortages, our power assets may be required to reduce their water consumption, which
would reduce their power generation capability. Further, if we do not renew the necessary approvals and licenses
to draw seawater from the Bay of Bengal, we will have to find alternative sources for water supply, which could
add to our costs and our power generation capability.
22. We, as well as our Subsidiaries, Directors and Group Companies may be involved in certain legal
proceedings. Any adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may adversely affect our reputation,
business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the ordinary course of business, our Company, Subsidiaries, Directors and Group Companies are involved in
certain legal proceedings, which are pending at varying levels of adjudication at different fora. The summary of
outstanding matters set out below includes details of criminal proceedings, tax proceedings, statutory and
regulatory actions and other material pending litigation involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Directors and our
Group Companies. According to the Materiality Policy, any outstanding litigation, other than criminal
proceedings, statutory or regulatory actions and taxation matters, is considered material if the monetary amount
of claim by or against the entity or person in any such pending matter is in excess of ₹ 624.53 million or if an
adverse outcome of any such litigation could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operations,
financial position or reputation.

23. We have substantial indebtedness and may not be able to meet our obligations under our current
or future debt financing agreements, which may have an adverse effect on our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2017, we had long term and short term borrowings of ₹ 209,952.04 million on a
consolidated basis. Our ability to service our debt obligations and to repay our outstanding borrowings
depends primarily upon the cash flow generated by our business. We may not be able to pay our debt
obligations in a timely manner or at all. Furthermore, we could default under our loans due to factors beyond
our control. Any such default could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. See “Financial Indebtedness” on page 619 for further details.
We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash to enable us to service existing or future
borrowings, comply with covenants or fund other liquidity needs. Incurring significant indebtedness may:
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic, industry and competitive conditions;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry; and
There are certain restrictive covenants in the agreements that we have entered into with our lenders. These
restrictive covenants require us to obtain the prior written consent of lenders for, among other things, any
amalgamation or merger, incurrence of additional indebtedness, creation of additional security, changes in
the capital structure, declaration of dividends, disposition of assets, raising of capital and developing new
assets, acquiring any assets, undertaking any guarantee obligations, making any capital expenditure or
investment, carrying out any amendment to the constitutional documents of our Company or changing the
management and control of our Company. We may not receive such prior written consent in a timely manner
or at all. Any failure to comply with a requirement to obtain a consent, or other condition or covenant under
our financing agreements that is not waived by our lenders or is not otherwise cured by us, may lead to
certain adverse outcomes, including our being in default, a termination of our credit facilities, acceleration
of all amounts due under such facilities and trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our other
financing agreements. In the event of any such acceleration, we may not have sufficient resources to repay
these borrowings. Failure to meet our obligations under our debt financing arrangements could have a
material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. For more
information regarding our indebtedness, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” on page 593 for more details.
We might not comply with certain covenants and obligations set forth in our financing documents, either
currently or in the future. As such, there is a possibility that our lenders may impose penalties, additional
interests and/or fees on the loans, or call an event of default, which could lead to acceleration or termination
of such borrowings, all of which could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition. In
addition, most of our financing agreements require us to maintain a certain credit rating. Any downgrade
28
of our current rating could result in an increase in our financing costs and, in certain ca ses, to acceleration
of our loans. This may also affect our ability to obtain financing at reasonable rates in the future.
The duration of our offtake arrangements may not match the duration of related financing arrangements,
and we may be exposed to refinancing risk if our cash flows are insufficient to finance our operations. In
the event of an increase in interest rates, our debt servicing costs may increase at the time of refinancing
our loan facilities and other financing arrangements, but revenue s generated under our PPAs may not
correspondingly increase. This mismatch between the duration of our financing arrangements and our PPAs
may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
24. SCU, our Promoter, will continue to retain majority shareholding in our Company after completion
of the Offer, which will allow them to exercise significant influence over us. We cannot assure you that
SCU will always act in our or your best interest. Additionally, we rely on SCU for certain key aspects
of our business as well as ancillary support services.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we are a majority owned subsidiary of SCU. Upon
completion of the Offer, SCU will continue to own a majority of our post-Offer Equity share capital.
Accordingly, SCU will continue to exercise significant influence over our business policies, affairs and all
matters requiring shareholders’ approval, including change in composition of the board of directors, th e
adoption of amendments to our constitutional documents, the approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions or
joint ventures or the sales of substantially all of our assets, dividend policies, lending, investments and
capital expenditures. This concentration of ownership also may delay, defer or even prevent a change in
control of our Company and may make some transactions more difficult or even impossible without the
support of SCU. The interests of SCU as our controlling shareholder could conflict with our interests or the
interests of our other shareholders. We cannot assure you that SCU will act to resolve any conflicts of
interest in our or your favor.
We also rely on our Promoter, SCU, for certain technical and advisory services in relation to operation and
management of the SEIL Power Plant. For details of the various agreements entered into with SCU in this
regard, see “Promoter and Promoter Group – Interest of our Promoter and Related Party Transactions”
on page 185. Failure to make alternative arrangements in a timely manner and on terms commercially
acceptable to us, in the event that our Promoter ceases to provide such services to us or such agreements
are terminated, for any reason whatsoever, may have a material adverse impact on our business, pro spects,
financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of the Net Proceeds from the Offer will be used to partially repay masala bonds issued by SGPL
to our Promoter.
Of an aggregate amount of ₹ 31,590.00 million out of the Net Proceeds that we propose to utilize for the repayment/prepayment
of certain indebtedness of certain of our Subsidiaries, we propose to use of ₹ 17,662.30 million to partially repay the Masala
Bonds issued to by our wholly-owned Subsidiary, SGPL, to our Promoter, SCU. As our Promoter will be repaid in preference
to other lenders, such portion of the Net Proceeds will not be available for other purposes. For further details on the
indebtedness we propose to repay/prepay out of the Net Proceeds, see “Objects of the Offer – Repayment and/or prepayment
of certain indebtedness” on page [●].
25. Certain of our Group Companies and Promoter are engaged, or are authorized by their
constitutional documents to engage, in business activities which are similar to those undertaken by our
Company and Subsidiaries, which may result in conflicts of interest. Further our directors are involved
with entities which are engaged or are authorized by their constitutional documents to engage in
business activities which are similar to those undertaken by our Company, which may result in conflicts
of interest.
Certain of our Group Companies are authorized under their respective memorandums of association to carry on
the business of production and distribution of electricity. Further, our non-executive Director, T.V. Sandeep
Kumar Reddy is also a director on the board of GEVPL, a director of Yamne Power Private Limited and which
engaged in the same line of business as our Company and Subsidiaries. For details, see “Group Companies -
Confirmations and Disclosures by our Group Companies - Interests and common pursuits” on page 194 . We
cannot assure you that our Group Companies, will not compete with our existing business or any future business
that we may undertake or that their interests will not conflict with ours. Any such present and future conflicts
could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operations.
26. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover all possible economic losses. The
occurrence of an event for which we are not adequately or sufficiently insured could have an adverse
effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Operations in the power generation business carry inherent risks of personal injury and loss of life, damage
to or destruction of property, plant and machinery and damage to the environment, and are subject to risks
such as fire, theft, flood, earthquakes and terrorism. We maintain insurance coverage, in amounts we believe
are commercially appropriate, including insurance against damage, loss of profit and business interruption,
29
marine inland transit and third party liability with respect to our assets. However, such insurance may not
be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities that may arise from our operations, including when the loss
suffered is not easily quantifiable and in the event of severe damage to our reputation. Even if we have
made a claim under an existing insurance policy, we may not be able to successfully assert our claim for
any liability or loss under such insurance policy. If our losses signifi cantly exceed our insurance coverage
or cannot be recovered through insurance, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, we may not be able to maintain insurance of the types or at levels which we deem necessary or
adequate or at rates which we consider reasonable, in particular, if our premium levels increase significantly
when we renew our insurance policies. If we are unable to pass increased insurance costs onto our
customers, the costs of higher insurance premiums could have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we have pending claims in respect of
insurance policies. Furthermore, the occurrence of an event for which we are not adequately or sufficiently
insured, or which is not insurable or for which insurance is not available in the market, or the successful
assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage , or changes in
our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co -insurance
requirements), could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations. We cannot assure you that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us
will be honored fully or on time. Any payments we make to cover any losses, damages or liabilities or any
delays we experience in receiving appropriate payments from our insurers co uld have an adverse effect on
our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
27. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains information from an industry report, which we have
commissioned from CRISIL Research
The information in this section and the sections entitled “Summary of Industry”, “Summary of Business”,
“Business” and “Industry Overview” on pages 44, 46, 120 and 98, respectively includes information that
is derived from the Industry Report. We commissioned this report for the purpose of confirming our
understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer. Neither we, nor any of the GCBRLMs and
BRLM nor their associates or affiliates or any other person connected with the Offer has verified the
information in the Industry Report. CRISIL has advised that, while it has taken due care and caution in
preparing the report based on information obtained from sources whi ch it considers reliable, it does not
guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Industry Report or the data therein and is not

data therein. The Industry Report highlights certain industry and market data relating to the Company and
its competitors. Such data is subject to many assumptions. There are no standard data gathering
methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies and assumptions may
vary widely among different industry sources. Further, such assumptions may change based on various
factors. We cannot assure you that CRISIL’s assumptions are correct or will not change and accordingly
our position in the market may differ from that presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Further, the
Industry Report is not a recommendation to invest or disinvest in our Company or any company covered in
the Industry Report. CRISIL has stated that it is not re sponsible for any loss or damage arising from the
use of the Industry Report. You are advised not to unduly rely on the Industry Report when making your
investment decision.
28. Certain portions of the land on which our power assets are or will be located, are not owned by us.
In the event we are unable to purchase the land, or enter into or renew lease agreements, our business,
results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
A number of our power assets are situated on land that we do not own, but have leased, including from
relevant state governments. The current terms of validity of such lease arrangements may not necessarily
be co-terminus with the remaining life of our power assets as well as the long -term PPAs we have entered
into with respect to such assets. For instance, a portion of the land on which the SEIL Power Plant is
situated has been leased to us by the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited and
the term of such lease expires in November 2030, i.e. within 12 years of the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. In the event that we are unable to renew the lease term of the land on which our project assets
are situated in a timely manner, on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, our ability to continue our
operations will be adversely affected, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
30
Some of our power assets are located, or will be located, on forest or revenue land, which is owned by the state
Government, or on land acquired or to be acquired from private customers. The timeline for transfer of title in
the land to us is dependent on the type of land on which the power assets are, or will be, located, and the policies
of the relevant state Government in which such land is located. In the case of land acquired from private
customers, which is mostly agricultural land, the transfer of such land from agriculturalists to non-agriculturalists
such as us or our EPC contractors and the use of such land for non-agricultural purposes require an order from
the relevant provincial land or revenue authority allowing such transfer or use (“Land-Use Approval”). For
forest and revenue land, we obtain a lease from the relevant Government authority or in our turnkey projects,
our EPC contractors first procure a lease in their favor from the relevant Government authority and, after receipt
of approval from the relevant Government authorities, the land is sub-leased or assigned or transferred to us.
In relation to the forest and revenue land on which our power assets with an aggregate installed capacity of 89.00
MW are established, the relevant EPC contractors have made the necessary applications to the concerned
authorities for transfer of the lease to us. However, the leasehold title in relation to such forest and revenue land
will be transferred in our favor only upon execution of lease or sub-lease deeds in accordance with applicable
laws after obtaining the approval to transfer. For certain of our wind power assets, we have experienced delays
in obtaining government approval for such transfer. For example, the land on which our 43.50 MW wind power
asset at Bhud, Maharashtra and our 20.00 MW wind power asset at Ramdurga, Karnataka are located and a part
of the land on which our 25.50 MW wind power asset at Bhud, Maharashtra is located are forest land, and we
have not yet entered into sub-lease agreements with state Governments with respect to such land. We cannot
assure you that the outstanding approvals would be received, or that lease or sub-lease deeds would be executed,
in a timely manner, such that the operation of the WEGs will not be adversely affected. In respect of our existing
leases and sub-leases, upon termination, we will be required to return the land to the relevant state authorities.
The terms of lease and sub-lease agreements are also not co-terminus with the lifetime of the power assets, taken
together with the period of time required for construction and commissioning of the asset. Accordingly, we will
have to obtain, directly or through our EPC contractors, extensions of the terms of such leases and sub-leases
for the remainder of the terms of the corresponding PPAs. Additionally, some of our EPC contractors in
Jamnagar, Gujarat and Pratapgarh, Rajasthan, have sub-leased to us a portion of the land they have obtained
from the state Government through a lease. They continue to hold the lease for the remaining, usually adjoining,
areas. In the event the EPC contractors violate the terms of the principal lease in relation to any portion of the
leased property, the principal lease may be cancelled, resulting in cancellation of our sub-lease. In the event that
the relevant state authorities do not wish to renew the lease or sub-lease agreements, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
29. We have entered into certain related party transactions in the past and may continue to do so in the
future
We have entered into transactions with related parties, including our Promoter and certain of our Group
Companies. For more information on our related party transactions, see “Related Party Transactions”. Certain
related party transactions also require the approval of our shareholders (where the related parties are required to
abstain from voting on such resolutions). There can be no assurance that such transactions will be approved. There
can also be no assurance that we will be able to maintain existing terms, or in case of any future transactions with
related parties, that such transactions will be on terms favorable to us in future. While we believe that all of our
related party transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that we could not
have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. In addition, it
is probable that we will enter into further related party transactions in the future. Any future transactions with our
related parties could potentially involve conflict of interests. There can be no assurance that such transactions,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

(1) We did not have subsidiaries in Fiscal 2015 or for any year prior to that and we did not prepare any consolidated financial statements for such periods.
Accordingly, financial information for Fiscal 2015 is based on the Restated Standalone Financial Information.
For further details, see “Financial Statements of our Company” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 199 and 593, respectively. We cannot assure you
that our net cash flows will be positive in the future.

For further details regarding our contingent liabilities, see “Financial Statements of our Company - Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis on Financial Position and
Results of Operations - Contingent Liabilities and Commitments” on pages 286 and 610 respectively. Our
contingent liabilities may become actual liabilities. In the event that any of our contingent liabilities materialize,
our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Furthermore, there can be
no assurance that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the current fiscal year or
in the future.
32. We have recently completed the Corporate Reorganization after the audit of the Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements, which may not be indicative of our future performance. In addition,
the unaudited Proforma Condensed Financial Statements may not be indicative of our actual results of
operations for the indicated periods and we may face administrative and operational difficulties because
of the Corporate Reorganization.
In February 2018, through a Corporate Reorganization, Sembcorp group’s thermal power projects and renewable
power projects in India were consolidated under our Company, and the Corporate Reorganization. As part of the
Corporate Reorganization, SGIL and SGPL became our subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries of SGIL become indirect
subsidiaries of our Company. As a result, our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical
results. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Corporate Reorganization will depend largely on our
ability to integrate our businesses. We may not be able to achieve the expected efficiencies with the Corporate
Reorganization, which may adversely affect our results of operations and business. The overall integration of the
businesses may result in unanticipated difficulties, expenses, liabilities and refinancing risks and may disrupt our
business. For more details on the Corporate Reorganization, see “History and other Corporate Matters –
Corporate Reorganization” on page 155.
We have included the unaudited Proforma Condensed Financial Statements for Fiscal 2017 and for the six months
ended September 30, 2017 of our Company, which shows the impact of the Corporate Reorganization on our
Company as if the Corporate Reorganization had occurred on April 1, 2016. However, our unaudited Proforma
Condensed Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of what our actual results of operations, financial
position and cash flow would have been for such periods or as of such dates, nor does it purport to project our
results of operations, financial position or cash flows for any future period or date. Our unaudited pro forma
32
financial statements do not include all of the information required for financial statements under Indian GAAP or
IndAS and should be read in conjunction with our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements, SGIL’s
Consolidated Financial Statements and SGPL’s Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. Further, our unaudited Proforma Condensed Financial Statements were not prepared in
connection with an offering registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act and consequently do not comply
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)’s rules on presentation of pro forma financial statements.
Accordingly, the degree of reliance placed by investors in other jurisdictions on such pro forma information should
be limited.
33. Future acquisitions may not meet economic expectations and may ultimately fail, which could have
an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have pursued and may continue to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, to expand our asset base,
enhance our capabilities and address gaps in our technical expertise and geographic coverage. Future
acquisitions may result in material transaction expenses, increased interest and amortization expense,
increased depreciation expense and increased operating expense, any of which could have an adverse effect
on our results of operations. Future acquisitions may entail integratio n and management of the new
businesses or assets to realize economies of scale and control costs, as well as other risks, including
diversion of management resources otherwise available for ongoing development of our business and risks
associated with entering new markets. Further, the Corporate Reorganization and any other acquisitions or
alliances may expose us to the risk of unanticipated business uncertainties or legal liabilities relating to
those acquired businesses or alliances for which the sellers of the acquired business or alliance partners
may or may not indemnify us.
34. Our business and operations depend significantly on our parent, SCU and the Sembcorp group. We
are exposed to the risk that the “Sembcorp” brand may be affected by events beyond our control and
that SCI and SCU may prevent us from using it in the future.
We depend significantly on SCU and the Sembcorp group for our business. We believe that our relationship with
the Sembcorp group has allowed us to develop our thermal and renewable operations in India. We also benefit
from the Sembcorp group’s strategic support as well as its technological expertise and resources. We believe that
we benefit in reputational terms with clients throughout India, as well as in terms of access to capital, credit ratings
and industry talent, as a result of being a part of the Sembcorp group. We cannot assure you that we will continue
to receive the same degree of support from the Sembcorp group in the future, and any adverse changes in our
relationship with the Sembcorp group may materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We use, among others, the name, brand and trademark “Sembcorp” and the associated logo in the ordinary course
of our business and in our corporate name. The trademark “Sembcorp” and the associated logo is owned by, and
is registered in favor of SCI. Pursuant to no objection certificates issued by SCI and SCU to us, SCI and SCU
granted us the worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive right to use the trademark “Sembcorp” and the associated
logo. We cannot assure you that SCI and SCU will not withdraw these no objection certificates. If SCI were to
withdraw these no objection certificates, we would be required to change our name and brand, which could require
us to expend significant resources to establish new branding and name recognition in the market, which could
materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the “Sembcorp” brand, which we believe is a well-recognized brand in
India due to its presence in the Indian market, will not be adversely affected in the future by events or actions that
are beyond our control, including adverse publicity. Any damage to this brand name, if not immediately and
sufficiently remedied, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
35. Prior to the Corporate Reorganization the Company operated only thermal power assets and has
limited operating history in the thermal power sector, and has not managed or operated renewable
power assets which it acquired with the acquisition of SGIL through the Corporate Reorganization.
The Company has limited operating history as its thermal power assets commenced commercial operations in
2015. The Company’s lack of a significant and relevant operating history makes it difficult to predict future
operating results. While SGIL has been in operation since 2008 and a part of the Sembcorp group (through our
Promoter, SCU) since 2015, the Company only recently acquired SGIL as part of the Corporate Reorganization
and has not operated or managed renewable power assets in India prior to the Corporate Reorganization. The
Company may face unanticipated difficulties in the integration and management of the renewable business.
33
36. During the last 12 months preceding the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company
has issued Equity Shares at a price that may be lower than the Offer Price.
Our Company issued 3,318,806,222 Equity Shares to SCU and GEVPL on February 15, 2018, pursuant to the
acquisition of SGIL and SGPL as subsidiaries, at a price which may be lower than the Offer Price. For further
details, see “Capital Structure – Share capital history of our Company - History of Equity Share capital of our
Company” and “History and Certain Corporate Matters – Corporate Reorganization” on pages 71 and 155,
respectively.
37. Our Group Companies have incurred losses in the preceding financial years and have a negative
net worth, based on their last audited financial statements available.
Our Group Companies, GEVPL, Gayatri Hi-Tech and Sembcorp Gayatri O&M have incurred losses in the
preceding three financial years. The details of the losses made by our Group Companies in the last three years is
set out below. We cannot assure you that our Group Companies will not incur losses in the future.

4. SIPL (94.98) 27.11 48.11
38. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition,
cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants in our
financing arrangements.
Our future ability to pay dividends depend on the earnings, financial condition and capital requirements of
our Subsidiaries and the dividends they distribute to us. Dividend distributed by our Subsidiaries will attract
dividend distribution tax at rates applicable from time to time. We canno t assure you that we will receive
dividends from our subsidiaries sufficient to cover our operating expenses and pay dividends to our
shareholders or at all.
Our business is capital intensive and we may plan to make additional capital expenditures to compl ete the
power assets that we are developing. Our ability to pay dividends is also restricted under certain financing
arrangements that we have entered into and expect to enter into. Our Company has not declared any
dividend on its Equity Shares since incorporation and we may be unable to pay dividends in the near or
medium term, and our future dividend policy will depend on our capital requirements and financing
arrangements for the power assets, financial condition and results of operations.
39. Our Company and certain of our Subsidiaries, Promoter, members of our Promoter Group and
Group Companies have availed or may avail certain loans that are recallable by lenders, at any time.
Our Company and certain of our Subsidiaries, Promoter, members of our Promoter Group and Group Companies
have availed or may avail borrowings that are repayable on demand by the relevant lenders. Such loans a may be
recalled by the relevant lenders on occurrence of certain events. Any such unexpected demand for repayment may
have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows and financial condition of the entity against which
repayment is sought.
40. Our Registered Office and Corporate Office are located on leased premises. There can be no
assurance that the respective lease agreements will be renewed upon termination or that we will be able
to obtain other premises on lease on same or similar commercial terms.
The premise upon which our Registered Office and Corporate Office are located are not owned by us. Our
Registered Office has been leased to us by Deep Corporation, one of our Group Companies, for a period of six
years commencing on November 5, 2013. We have the right to use the premises on which our Corporate Office
is situated pursuant to a facility sharing agreement dated February 6, 2018 between our Company and Sembcorp
India Private Limited, one of our Group Companies, which holds leasehold rights to such premises. For details of
agreements entered into between our Company and these Group Companies, see “Group Companies – Interests
34
and Common Pursuits” on page 194. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain and renew the lease
on same or similar terms, or find alternate locations on similar terms favorable to us, or at all.
41. Land title in India can be uncertain and we may not be able to identify or correct defects or
irregularities in title to the land which we own, lease or intend to acquire in connection with the
development or acquisition of our power assets. Additionally, certain land on which the p ower assets
developed or acquired by us in the future are located may be subject to onerous conditions which may
adversely affect its use.
There is no central title registry for real property in India and the documentation of land records in India has not
been fully computerized. Property records in India are generally maintained at the state and district level and in
local languages, and are updated manually through physical records. Therefore, property records may not be
available online for inspection or updated in a timely manner, or may be illegible, untraceable, incomplete or
inaccurate in certain respects, or may have been kept in poor condition, which may impede title investigations
or our ability to rely on such property records. In addition, there may be a discrepancy between the duration of
the principal lease under different orders issued by state governments in respect of a particular parcel of revenue
land.
For example, a legal notice was issued to one of our subsidiaries, Green Infra BTV Limited (“GIBTVL”), for
removal of one of its WEGs located in Theni, Tamil Nadu on the basis of the complainants’ claim of ownership
of the land on which the WEG is located. For details, see the section “Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments” on page 622. Any defects in, or irregularities of, title may result in loss of development or
operating rights over land, which may prejudice the success of our power assets and require us to write off
substantial expenditures in respect of our power assets.
Additionally, the power assets that we may develop or acquire in the future may be located on land that may be
subject to onerous conditions under the lease agreements through which we acquire rights to use such land and
rights of way. Furthermore, the Government may exercise its rights of eminent domain, or compulsory
acquisition in respect of land on which our assets are or will be located. Any of this may adversely affect our
business and results of operations in the future.
42. Any failure by us to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could
negatively affect investor confidence in us and cause the market price of our equity shares to decline.
As a public company, we would be required to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial
reporting. If, in the future, we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are
modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on
an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to maintain an effective
internal control environment could result in control deficiencies or material weakness in the future and have a
material adverse effect on the accuracy, timeliness and reliability of our financial reporting, which could in turn,
have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations as well as the price of our equity
shares. Complying with such requirements could also increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance
costs, particularly as we integrate SGPL and SGIL into our existing system of internal control over financial
reporting.
External Risks
43. Our flexibility in managing our operations is limited by the regulatory environment in which we
operate.
The infrastructure sector in India, particularly in relation to the power industry, is highly regulated. Our
business is regulated by various authorities, including the Ministry of Power (“ MoP”), the relevant state
Governments and the GoI. Any adverse change in the applicable regulations could have an adverse effect
on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. For example, pursuant to the
35
Electricity Act, 2003, which provides for deregulation of the power sector, the G oI continue to implement
policy changes aimed at deregulation, including most recently with respect to coal allocation for power
assets.
It is difficult to predict what the consequences of any future deregulation will be, and it could have a
material effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Any other change
or the introduction of new legislation or regulation and any change in tariff levels or PPA provisions by
state DISCOMs, including taxation policy changes, relating to power generation in India may have a
material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The timing
and content of any new laws or regulations is not in our control and such new laws or regulations coul d
have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Non -
compliance with, and changes in, safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may adversely
affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Our assets are subject to extensive government and environmental laws and regulations which govern the
discharge, emission, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances that are used in or result from
the operations of our businesses. These laws and regulations include the Environmental Protection Act, the
Air Act, the Water Act and other regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests and
Climate Change and the Pollution Control Boards of the states in which we operate. In addition, our assets
are subject to risks involving personal injury, loss of life, environmental damage and severe damage to
property.
We believe environmental regulation of industrial activities in India will become more strin gent in the
future as concerns of climate change and other environmental concerns increase in India and also due to
the commitments made by India under the 2015 Paris climate summit agreement. The scope and extent of
new environmental regulations, including their effect on our operations, cannot be predicted with certainty.
The costs and management time required to comply with these requirements could be significant. The
measures we implement in order to comply with these new laws and regulations may not be deemed
sufficient by Government entities and our compliance costs may significantly exceed our estimates. If we
fail to meet environmental requirements, we may also be subject to administrative, civil and criminal
proceedings by Government entities, as well as civil proceedings by environmental groups and other
individuals, which could result in substantial fines and penalties against us as well as revocation of
approvals and permits and orders that could limit or halt our operations. There can be no assur ance that we
will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or be held responsible in any such future
litigation or proceedings relating to safety, health and environmental matters, the costs of which could be
material. Clean-up and remediation costs, as well as damages, other liabilities and related litigation, could
adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
44. If demand for renewable assets does not develop sufficiently or takes longer to dev elop than we
anticipate, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be
materially and adversely affected.
The renewable energy markets are at a relatively early stage of development in India. Trends in the
renewable energy industries are based only on limited data and may not be reliable and the success of this
sector is dependent on certain costs decreasing, such as storage costs. Many factors may adversely affect
the demand for renewable assets in India, including:
fluctuations in economic and market conditions that affect the viability of conventional and renewable
energy sources;
the cost and reliability of renewable assets compared to conventional power sources;
the cost competitiveness as compared against tariffs for conventional power sources and the preference
of some state utilities for conventional power sources;
public perceptions of the direct and indirect benefits of adopting renewable energy technology; and
regulations and policies governing the electric utility industry that may present technical, regulatory
and economic barriers to the purchase and use of wind power.
36
If market demand for renewable assets in India fails to develop sufficiently, our business, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
45. Our growth is dependent on factors affecting the Indian economy and demand for power in India
may not increase as expected
The performance and the growth of our business is dependent on the performance of the Indian economy
which, in turn, depends on various factors. The Indian economy is affected by global economic
uncertainties, volatility in interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity and electricity prices, adverse
conditions affecting agriculture and various other factors. The Indian economy is undergoing many changes
and it is difficult to predict the impact of certain fundamental economic changes upon the Indian economy
and, consequently, our business. For example, while the Indian economy is experiencing strong inflows of
domestic and foreign investments, any adverse regulatory or economic change, any adversely impact
investor sentiments and affect the GoI’s endeavor to increase renewable energy capacity in India.
Conditions outside India, such as a slowdown or recession in the economic growth of other major countries,
especially the United States, have an impact on the growth of the Indian economy, and the GoI’s policy
may change in response to such conditions. While the GoI has been keen on encouraging private
participation in the power sector recently, any adverse change in policy could result in a further slowdown
of the Indian economy. In addition, these policies will need continued support from stable regulator y
regimes that stimulate and encourage the investment of private capital into industrial development. Any
downturn in the macroeconomic environment in India could materially and adversely affect the market
price of the Equity Shares and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, an increase in India’s trade deficit, a downgrading in India’s sovereign debt rating or a decline
in India’s foreign exchange reserves could negatively impact interest rates and liquidity, which could
adversely impact the Indian economy and our business. Any adverse revisions to India’s sovereign debt
ratings may also adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other
commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to obtain refinancing, as well as the
trading price of the Equity Shares.
Further, according to Central Electricity Authority of India (“CEA”), the power demand of the country is
expected to grow at a 6.18% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) during Fiscals 2017 to 2022.
However, there can be no assurance that demand for power in India will increase as expected , or at all,
which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and expansion strategy.
46. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse interpretation or
application of tax laws and regulations, may adversely af fect our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations
Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by
changes in law, or interpretations of existing laws, rules and regulations, or the promulgation of new laws,
rules and regulations in India, applicable to us and our business.
Governmental and regulatory bodies in India may enact new regulations and/or policies, which may require
us to obtain approvals and licenses from the GoI, applicable state Governments and other regulatory bodies,
or impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations, in addition to those which we are
undertaking currently. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementati on
of new regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.
The application of various Indian sales, value-added and other tax laws, rules and regulations to our
business or to our fuel or equipment suppliers, currently or in the future, may be subject to interpretation
by relevant authorities, and if amended or notified, could result in increased tax payments to us
(prospectively or retrospectively) or to our fuel or equipment supplier s (thereby increasing their costs and
their rates charged to us), which could affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations. Further, we run the risk of the Indian Income Tax Department assessing our tax liability to be
materially different from the provision that we have carried in our books for the past periods.
37
47. Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally have affected and may
continue to affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and may cause
us to experience limited availability of funds.
The power industry is significantly affected by changes in Government policies, economic conditions,
demographic trends, employment and income levels and interest rates, among other factors. In the past,
economic developments outside India have adversely affected the markets in which we operate and our
overall business. For instance, recent concerns relating to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to raise
interest rates in the United States have led to increased volatility, particularly in the stock and currency
markets in emerging economies. In addition, on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum on
its membership of the European Union and voted to leave (“Brexit”). There is significant uncertainty at
this stage as to the impact of Brexit on general economic conditions in the United Kingdom and the
European Union and any consequential impact on global financial markets. In addition, China is one of
India’s major trading partners, and there are rising concerns of a possible slowdown in the Chinese
economy. Furthermore, the sovereign rating downgrades for Brazil and Russia (and the imposition of
sanctions on Russia) have also added to the growth risks for these markets.
If there is a tightening of credit in financial markets globally, this could also affect the Indian market and
debt could become significantly more expensive for us. We may not be able to arrange for debt financing
for our capital requirements at all or debt financing which is available to us may not be on commercially
acceptable terms; as a result, we may experience material cash flow problems.
Uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also increase costs associated with the operation of
our assets in a number of ways, including increased exposure to material losses from our investments. The
power sector in India has seen strong inflows of foreign and domestic investments. Any economic downturn
could affect the overall sentiment of the market. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity
of any future disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in India, the United States
and other countries, which may cause material adverse impact to our business and opera ting results.
48. Financial instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets
The Indian economy is influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, including, but not
limited to, the conditions in the United States, Europe and certain economies in Asia. Financial turmoil in
Asia and elsewhere in the world in recent years has affected the Indian economy. Any worldwide financial
instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and , directly or indirectly,
adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and its business.
Although economic conditions vary across markets, loss of investor confidence in one emerging economy
may cause increased volatility across other economies, including India. Financial instability in other parts
of the world could have a global influence and thereby impact the Indian economy. Financial disruptions
in the future could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The global credit and equity markets have experienced substantial dislocations, liquidity disruptions and
market corrections. In Europe, the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and any prolonged
period of uncertainty which results, could have a significant negative impact on international markets.
These could include further falls in stock exchange indices and/or greater volatility of markets in general
due to the increased uncertainty. These and other related events could have a significant impact on the
global credit and financial markets as a whole, and could result in reduced liquidity, greater volatility,
widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the global credit and financial markets.
There are also concerns that a tightening of monetary policy in emerging markets and some developed
markets will lead to a moderation in global growth. In particular, there are rising concerns of a possible
slowdown in the Chinese economy, and China is one of India’s major trading partners. Such factors might
also result in a slowdown in India’s export growth momentum.
In response to such developments, legislators and financial regulators in the United States and other
jurisdictions, including India, have implemented a numb er of policy measures designed to add stability to
the financial markets. However, the overall long-term impact of these and other legislative and regulatory
efforts on the global financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have had the intended stabi lizing
effects. Any significant financial disruption in the future could have an adverse effect on our cost of
38
funding, loan portfolio, business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Adverse economic developments overseas in countries where we have operations could have a material
adverse impact on us and the trading price of the Equity Shares. See also “ – Risks Relating to Our Industry
– Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally have a ffected and may
continue to affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and may cause
us to experience limited availability of funds”.
49. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our services in order
to pass costs on to our customers and our profits might decline.
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future.
Increasing inflation in India could cause a rise in the price of transportation, wages, raw materials and other
expenses, and we may be unable to reduce our costs or fully pass the increased costs on to our customer by
increasing the price that we charge for our services, and our business, prospects, financial condit ion and
results of operations may therefore be adversely affected. The PPAs that allow for escalation in power
charges provide for an escalation index in order to take into consideration rises in prices. The value of the
escalation index is adjusted by applying the yearly inflation rate as set by CERC.
50. Investors in the Equity Shares may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.
We are a limited liability public company incorporated under the laws of India. Majority of our directors
and key managerial personnel named in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are residents of India. Further,
our assets are primarily located in India. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of
process upon us or such persons, or to enforce judgments obtained against us or such persons in jurisdictions
outside India. The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in India is governed by Sections 13
and 44A of the Civil Code, which provide that a suit must be brought in India with in three years from the
date of the judgment sought to be enforced. Generally, there are considerable delays in the disposal of suits
by Indian courts.
It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an act ion
were to be brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments
if that court was of the view that the amount of damages awarded was excessive or inconsistent with Indian
practice. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain prior approval from
the RBI under the FEMA to repatriate any such amount recovered.
51. Significant differences exist between IndAS and Indian GAAP on one hand and other accounting
principles, such as US GAAP and IFRS on the other, which may be material to investors’ assessments
of our financial condition.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been
prepared in accordance with IndAs or Indian GAAP, as applicable, in the relevant period of reporting. We
have not attempted to quantify the impact of US GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US
GAAP or IFRS. US GAAP and IFRS differ in significant respects from IndAS and Indian GAAP.
Accordingly, the degree to which the IndAS and Indian GAAP financial statements, which are restated as
per SEBI ICDR Regulations included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any
reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
As India has decided to adopt a convergence of its existing standards with IFRS which are referred to in
India as IndAS, we were required to mandatorily prepare our financial statements fo r Fiscal 2017 in
accordance with IndAS. Given that IndAS is different in many respects from Indian GAAP under which
our financial statements were historically prepared, our financial statements for the period commencing
April 1, 2016 may not be comparable to our historical financial statements that were prepared under Indian
GAAP.
52. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an
adverse effect on the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating resul ts.
39
On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect
of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign
currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time that it
takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse
movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating outside India the proceeds from a sale of
Equity Shares, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity
Shares may reduce the proceeds received by Equity Shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between the
Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially
in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the trading price of our Equity Shares and returns on our Equity
Shares, independent of our operating results.
53. Government regulation of foreign ownership of Indian securities may have an adverse effect on the
price of the Equity Shares.
Foreign ownership of Indian securities is subject to GoI regulation. In accordance with foreign exchange
regulations currently in effect in India, under certain circumstances the RBI must approve the sale of the Equity
Shares from a non-resident of India to a resident of India or vice-versa if the sale does not meet certain
requirements specified by the RBI. Additionally, any person who seeks to convert the Rupee proceeds from any
such sale into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India is required to obtain a no-objection
or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. As provided in the foreign exchange
controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided that the price at which the Equity Shares are transferred
be calculated in accordance with internationally accepted pricing methodology for the valuation of shares at an arm’s
length basis, and a higher (or lower, as applicable) price per share may not be permitted. We cannot assure you
that any required approval from the RBI or any other government agency can be obtained on terms favorable to
a non-resident investor in a timely manner or at all. Because of possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals,
investors in the Equity Shares may be prevented from realizing gains during periods of price increase or limiting
losses during periods of price decline.
Further, as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company is a foreign owned or controlled
company and we are required to comply with certain conditions specified under the FEMA Regulations and the
foreign direct investment policy with respect to downstream investments by Indian companies that are not owned
and/or controlled by resident entities. These conditions include restrictions on valuations, sources of funding for
such investments and certain reporting requirements. Such restrictions may adversely affect our ability to make
downstream investments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with such restrictions or obtain
any required approvals for future acquisitions or investments in India, or that we will be able to obtain such
approvals on satisfactory terms, which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, financial
performance and the price of our Equity Shares.
54. The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares
at or above the Offer Price, or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on
the Indian stock exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. The Offer Price of the Equity
Shares may bear no relationship to the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. The market pr ice
of the Equity Shares after the Offer may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other
factors beyond our control, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the power
sector in India, developments relating to India and volatility in the stock exchanges and securities markets
elsewhere in the world.
55. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of Equity Shares
in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a
stock exchange held for more than 12 months will not be subject to long-term capital gains tax in India if Securities
Transaction Tax (“STT”) is paid on the sale transaction and additionally, as stipulated by the Finance Act, 2017,
STT had been paid at the time of acquisition of such equity shares, except in the case of such acquisitions where
STT could not have been paid, as notified by the GoI under notification no. 43/2017/F. No. 370142/09/2017-TPL
on June 5, 2017. However, Finance Bill, 2018, proposes to tax such long term capital gains exceeding INR 100,000
40
arising from sale of Equity Shares on or after April 1, 2018. Accordingly, you may be subject to payment of long-
term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of STT, on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than
12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are
sold.
Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject
to short-term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares may be partially
exempt or exempt from taxation in India in cases where such exemption is provided under a treaty between India
and the country of which the seller is resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose
tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own
jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares.
56. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than unde r the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’
rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including
in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of
other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as shareholder in an
Indian company than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.
Any future equity issuances by us, including in a primary offering or pursuant to a preferential allotment
or issuances of stock options under employee stock option plans, or any perception by investors that such
issuances or sales might occur may lead to the dilution of investor shareholding in our Company or affect
the trading price of the Equity Shares and could affect our ability to raise capital through an offering of our
securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the
trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that we will not issue additional Equity Shares. The
disposal of Equity Shares by our Promoter, or the perception that such sales may occur may significantly affect
the trading price of the Equity Shares. Except as disclosed in “Capital Structure” on page 71, we cannot assure
you that our Promoter will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. We have entered
into group captive arrangements with external parties in some of our renewable energy subsidiaries. As and when
there is a change of customer or when additional customers are added to such arrangements, there might be a
further dilution in the equity holding in those subsidiaries, which would in turn affect the net book value of the
Equity Shares held in our Company.
58. Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity Shares.
The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Indian
stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. The
Indian stock exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity
of the securities of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement
delays and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from
time to time restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements.
Further, disputes have occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Indian s tock exchanges, and
other regulatory bodies that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar
problems occur in the future, the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares could be adversely affected.
59. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms
of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the SEBI Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower
their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail
Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid/Offer
Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Offer within six Working
Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares,
including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic
conditions, our business, results of operation or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of
the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur,
41
and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the
trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
60. A portion of the Net Proceeds from the Offer will be used to partially repay masala bonds issued to
our Promoter.
We will use ₹17,662.30 million of the Net Proceeds from the Offer to partially repay masala bonds issued to our
Promoter, SCU by our wholly owned subsidiary, SGPL, which will merge into our Company pursuant to the
Proposed Merger. For further details, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 82. The portion of the Net Proceeds to
repay the masala bonds to SCU will not be available for other purposes.

SECTION III – INTRODUCTION
SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY
India’s need for energy is increasing rapidly due to the country’s economic growth and modernisation over the
past few years. India’s per capita electricity consumption has been steadily rising, from 631.4 kilowatts per hour
(“kWh”) in Fiscal 2006 to 1,122.0 kWh in Fiscal 2017. Despite this growth, developing countries like Brazil,
Malaysia and China have significantly higher per capita electricity consumption than India. India’s expenditure
on electricity constitutes a small percentage of the total household expenditure. Strong economic growth along
with increase in per capita income is expected to result in more disposable income to spend on electricity.
Between Fiscals 2007 and 2017, India’s peak demand increased at approximately 5% compounded annual growth
rate (“CAGR”) to reach 159.54 GW, while the installed power generation increased at a CAGR of approximately
10%, from 200 GW to 327 GW during the period. This has been driven by healthy growth in gross domestic
product (“GDP”), although the deteriorating financial health of distribution companies (“DISCOMs”) has
curtailed growth.
Demand projections
The overall energy consumption in India, including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, and renewables and
biofuels is considerably lower as compared with other economic superpowers such as the United States and China.
However, as per BP Energy Outlook 2017, India is likely to witness over 100% increase in energy consumption
from Fiscals 2015 to 2035. The key drivers for the demand increase would be initiatives such as ‘24x7 Power for
All’, development of ‘smart cities’, the ‘Housing for All’ scheme, industrial push through ‘Make in India’,
increasing urbanization, infrastructure requirements, electric mobility, and overall strong economic growth.
Supply projections
Rising demand from various consumer categories would not only require installation of additional capacities but
also ensure the existing units run at a higher plant load factor (“PLF”). Higher PLF would ensure larger
availability of energy to meet the rising demand. The increase in supply of energy units would also help bridge
the demand-supply energy deficit. The total available energy is expected to reach 1,763 billion units by Fiscal
2022.
The current situation in India of a power surplus of 100 billion units of energy is expected to reverse by Fiscal
2021. From being in a 11% energy surplus in Fiscal 2017, the scenario is most likely to reverse to a 5% energy
deficit in Fiscal 2022, provided all initiatives mentioned above (including the GoI’s ‘24x7 Power for All’ initiative
as well as DISCOM commitment towards procuring the same) are achieved. Similarly, the current situation of
peak surplus is expected to reverse by Fiscal 2020 and the gap is likely to widen over the years. This is largely
because of increased installation by renewable energy sources vis-à-vis sources that can provide power during
peak.
Renewable Energy
Strong government support along with a drop in tariffs is expected to support growth in renewable energy. India’s
capacity from installed grid-interactive renewable power systems has increased steadily from approximately 7.7
GW in Fiscal 2001 to approximately 57 GW in Fiscal 2017. The GoI has set a target to achieve 175 GW of
renewable capacity by Fiscal 2022, with an intent to tap into the abundant renewable resources and reduce the
coal import bill. Altogether, the share of renewable energy sector and solar power, in particular, is expected rise
sharply in India’s fuel mix in the coming decades. In addition, the recent structural shifts in the renewable sector
have caused grid parity and a more favorable environment for larger players with sound financial strength and
parentage.
Thermal
Suppressed electricity demand in the past few years and constraints on the financial flexibility of many developers
on account of high gearing and poor cash flows from existing projects has led to a slowdown in investments in
44
thermal power projects. The Draft National Electricity Plan 2016 also envisaged that no new thermal (including
gas) power capacities would be developed beyond Fiscal 2022. However, a considerable quantum (over 54 GW )
of thermal capacity is still under various phases of planning and construction. Upon an analysis of the actual
progress of works (quantum of investment already made and stage of construction), it can be seen that many such
projects will likely be commissioned by Fiscal 2022.
PLF
Historically, the average PLF has remained low. The highest was 75% in Fiscal 2011, which could be attributed
to poor supply side infrastructure, improper delivery mechanisms and muted demand because of affordability
issues. The average PLF for coal-based power plants was 59.9% in 2016 to 2017. Increase in the PLF due to
demand growth will need to be complemented by initiatives such as commercial mining, higher coal extraction
targets for Coal India Limited (“CIL”), preferential coal supply linkage, and the Scheme to Harness and Allocate
Koyla (“SHAKTI”) which can revive many fuel-deprived power plants.
Uncontracted capacity
Capacity to the tune of 28 GW has been classified as uncontracted assets owing to multiple reasons such as paucity
of funds for developing the project, absence of fuel supply agreements, absence of long-term PPAs, or absence of
a combination of the above. The GoI is weighing different proposed solutions to address the problem of stressed
power projects.
SHAKTI for allocation of coal blocks to plants with and without signed PPAs;
Flexible Structuring Scheme (‘5:25’) – Flexible refinancing and repayment option for long-term infrastructure
projects where the total exposure of lenders is more than Rs 500 crore;
Strategic Debt Restructuring (“SDR”) aims at reviving stalled projects by giving equity participation to banks in
such projects and delinking the existing promoter of the project;
Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (‘S4A’) aims at deep financial restructuring of debt ridden
projects by allowing lenders to acquire equity in the stressed project with existing promoter allowed to continue
in the management even while being a minority shareholder. Unlike the SDR Scheme which is aimed at delinking
the existing promoter, under the S4A scheme banks would allow existing promoter to continue in the management
even while being a minority shareholder.
Along with S4A, enactment and enforcement of new insolvency code has temporarily taken stressed capacity out
of the market, benefitting the solvent, well-funded players. With new PPAs expected to be signed with increase
in demand clubbed with S4A, will allow many of the developers to come out of stress position.
The Reserve Bank of India has recently substituted the existing guidelines (Framework for Revitalising Distressed
Assets, Flexible Structuring Scheme, Strategic Debt Restructuring Scheme (SDR), and Scheme for Sustainable
Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A) ), with a “Revised Framework” for a harmonised and simplified resolution
of stressed assets.
As per the World Energy Outlook Report 2015, the share of coal in India’s primary energy mix will rise to 49%
in 2040 from the current levels of 44%. The report pegs coal consumption growth at 3.8% annually until 2040.
CIL registered growth in production by 7% and 9% in Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, respectively, in line with the
country’s plan to almost double domestic supply by 2020. CIL shall account for 80% of production while the
remaining 20% will be contributed by Singareni Collieries Companies Limited and other state utilities and the
private sector. The Coal India Vision Document 2020 pegs the annual growth in the domestic demand for coal at
more than 10% by 2020. However, this demand will be subject to several factors such as execution of renewable
energy projects and the successful restructuring of ailing DISCOMS. The draft CEA report on the National
Electricity Plan indicates that if the GoI’s plan to reach 175 GW of renewable power is true, then domestic coal
production would be sufficient to meet the thermal coal demand by Fiscal 2022.
45
SUMMARY OF BUSINESS
We are a leading independent power producer (“IPP”) in India, led by a strong management team with extensive
experience and a successful track record of identifying, developing and operating power generation assets across
the thermal and renewable power sectors in India. As of December 31, 2017, we had a total power generation
capacity of approximately 4.07 GW, comprising approximately 3.57 GW of operating generation capacity and
0.50 GW of generating capacity under construction. Additionally we have been informed by Solar Energy
Corporation of India (“SECI”) that we have been awarded an additional 0.30 GW of wind power capacity in the
third SECI wind power auctions conducted in February 2018, taking our overall power generation capacity to
approximately 4.37 GW. We have a well-balanced and diversified portfolio of power assets, which together
provide cash flow stability, growth and potential profitability upside. As of December 31, 2017, our portfolio
comprises:
two fully-operational thermal power assets with four 0.66 GW supercritical coal-fired units, having a total
power generation capacity of 2.64 GW located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India;
34 wind energy assets with a total power generation capacity of approximately 1.39 GW located across seven
states in India; this includes approximately 0.50 GW in two wind power assets that we are currently
constructing in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, India; and
three solar power assets with a total power generation capacity of 0.04 GW located in the states of Rajasthan
and Gujarat, India.
We sell power generated from our operational assets under a combination of long-term and short-term power
purchase agreements (“PPAs”) to central government agencies, state-owned distribution companies
(“DISCOMs”), private customers, as well as on the spot market. Over 62% of our total capacity (over 96% of our
renewables capacity and over 40% of our thermal capacity) is under long-term PPAs with DISCOMs, private
customers and power trading companies, ensuring stability of cash flows and potential upside in a tightening
power market.
We are promoted by Sembcorp Utilities Pte. Ltd. (“SCU”), which is part of the Sembcorp group and a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries Ltd. (“SCI”), which is listed on the main board of the Singapore
Exchange. The Sembcorp group is a global conglomerate present across in 15 countries across five continents,
with businesses in energy, water, on-site logistics, marine and urban development. Globally, the Sembcorp group
has facilities with approximately 11 GW of gross power capacity and water and wastewater treatment plants with
a combined capacity of approximately nine million cubic meters per day. The Sembcorp group is a developer and
provider of energy, steam, water, natural gas and on-site logistics solutions serving both industrial and municipal
customers. The Sembcorp group’s capabilities extend across diverse fuel sources such as natural gas, coal and
renewables. It has an established track record in executing large-scale greenfield energy and water projects
globally. Our management processes, including our commitment to the environment and sustainability, aim to
reflect the robust governance practices of the Sembcorp group.
We are currently operating in the growing Indian energy market, where we are well-positioned to benefit from
positive market trends. According to CRISIL, the current scenario of peak power surplus is expected to reverse
by Fiscal 2020 resulting in a peak power deficit that is expected to grow to approximately 5% by Fiscal 2021.
This is due to a number of factors, including favorable Government of India (“GoI”) regulations and policies,
GoI’s strong commitment towards electrification of households and transportation, growth in the Indian economy,
and increasing urbanization and industrialization. The tightening power supply-demand balance is resulting in an
increase in thermal power tariffs, which will enable us to contract a little over half of our open thermal capacity
at higher tariffs with creditworthy DISCOMs in rapidly growing states. In the renewable energy sector,
competitive bidding through reverse auctions enables developers with strong engineering and operating
capabilities like us to secure large capacities with creditworthy customers. For example, our competitiveness is
demonstrated by the fact that we are the largest cumulative winner to date to win 0.80 GW of wind power capacity
in the recent three wind power auctions conducted by SECI in 2017 and 2018, according to CRISIL. See “Industry
Overview – Recent development in renewable energy” on page 98 for more details on the recent SECI wind bids.
Our capabilities position us well for future growth, keeping in view GoI’s commitment to achieving 175 GW of
renewable energy capacity by 2022. Furthermore, the trend of growing transparency across the Indian power
sector in the form of open power auctions, transparent coal allocation, and publication of performance data,
benefits players such as us with financial strength and robust corporate governance practices.
46
Our thermal power assets, the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant, located on the eastern coast of
southern India, are designed for more sustainable power production. Our thermal power assets are based on
supercritical power generation technology, which allows them to operate at lower emission levels compared to
subcritical power plants. They use sea water for their power generation operations, which eliminates the need to
use precious ground water. All of our coal is transported through coastal and trans-ocean shipping, with last-mile
connectivity through two closed-pipe coal conveyor belt systems. This assures safety, reliability and
environmental compliance of our coal logistics. We have also ensured the reliability and cost competitiveness of
our thermal power assets through a number of measures. Our thermal power assets are designed for a wide range
of coal grades, which that allows us to source coal cost-effectively. The supercritical technology that we use is
well-suited to effectively cope with the intra-day demand swings prevalent in India. Our fuel supply agreements
(“FSA”) for the supply of domestic coal with Mahanadi Coal Limited (“MCL”), a subsidiary of Coal India
Limited (“CIL”), and with reputable suppliers of imported coal in Indonesia, South Africa and other countries,
ensure reliable access to low-cost coal from diverse sources and insulates us from coal shortages in India. Our
thermal power assets are located close to the Krishnapatnam port, a deep-water port, allowing us to minimize
transportation costs by deploying larger ships. Our operating processes also give us the capability to run our plants
at optimal heat rates with minimum auxiliary consumption. These factors have helped us and SGPL achieve an
average plant load factor (“PLF”) of 85.43% and 75.63% at the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant
respectively for the period between April and December 2017, which is well above the market average of 60%
for the same period, according to the Central Electricity Authority (“CEA”) Monthly Generation Reports.
We operate renewable power assets across seven states in India through SGIL, which we recently acquired. This
has given us deep experience in site selection, project development, commissioning, operations and optimization,
power contracting, financing and receivables management across the country. With recent forays into in-house
engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) and in-house operation and maintenance (“O&M”), we are
further strengthening our capabilities and competitiveness. We work with a diversified set of high quality
equipment suppliers, in order to evaluate, select and deploy the latest technology equipment on an arms-length
basis to be cost competitive in our chosen location. We believe that we have the ability to maximize production
and availability of our wind power assets through constant, active equipment performance optimization and
monitoring, which improves our asset viability and margin. We have adopted the Sembcorp group’s stringent
criteria for asset selection, with a disciplined bidding approach that includes comprehensive risk assessments to
protect returns. Based on our capabilities, we have been successful in building up a wind portfolio of 0.89 GW
comprising 604 wind turbines with an average PLF of 22.24% and 22.75% for the nine months ended December
31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our competitiveness is also evidenced by our track record in the
recent SECI wind auctions in 2017 where we secured an additional 0.50 GW of long-term PPAs with SECI and
PTC India Limited. We were also successful in acquiring an additional 0.30 GW of wind power capacity in the
recent wind power auctions conducted by SECI in February 2018.
Finally, across our renewable and thermal businesses, our policy is to maintain a prudent, conservative capital
structure. This is evidenced by our low debt-to-equity ratio of 66:34 on a proforma basis after giving effect to the
Corporate Reorganization as of September 30, 2017, with our cost of borrowing for our renewable and thermal
businesses being 9.61% (including short-term loans and letters of credit) and 9.20%, respectively. We intend to
continue to manage an efficient capital structure, with the future capital requirements of our growth projects being
funded through operating cash flows from our thermal and renewable power business after servicing existing debt
and external financing.
Corporate reorganization
Until February 2018, we only had one operating asset, the SEIL Power Plant consisting of two operating 660 MW
units. In February 2018, through the Corporate Reorganization (as defined below), Sembcorp group’s thermal
power and renewable energy assets in India were consolidated under our Company. As a result of the Corporate
Reorganization that became effective in February 2018, our Company acquired 100% of the equity shares of
SGPL and SGIL (the “Corporate Reorganization”). Accordingly, SGPL’s thermal power plant and SGIL’s
diversified portfolio of wind and solar assets in India, comprising assets in operation and under construction form
a part of our consolidated assets. Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus relate to periods prior to the Corporate Reorganization and therefore only include the financial
results of the SEIL Power Plant. See “Financial Statements of our Company - Restated Consolidated Financial
Statements” on page 286 for our financial statements prior to the Corporate Reorganization. See “History and
other Corporate Matters – Corporate Reorganization” on page 155 for more details on the Corporate
Reorganization.

We have included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements for the six
months ended September 30, 2017, as of and for the Fiscal ended March 31, of our Company, which shows the
impact of the Corporate Reorganization on our Company as if the Corporate Reorganization had occurred on April
1, 2016. See “Proforma Condensed Financial Statements” on page 343. See “Financial Statements of our
Company - Restated Consolidated Financial Statements”, “SGIL’s Consolidated Financial Statements” and
“SGPL’s Financial Statements” on pages 286, 448 and 357, respectively for our financial position prior to the
Corporate Reorganization, see “History and other Corporate Matters – Corporate Reorganization” on page 155
for more details on the Corporate Reorganization.
Well-balanced and diversified portfolio of high-quality renewable and thermal power assets with stability,
growth and potential profitability upside.
Promoted by a reputed sponsor with a proven track record, robust corporate governance and commitment to
sustainability.
Well-positioned to capitalize on an attractive market with increasing tariffs and favorable GoI initiatives.
Our Strategies
Grow our renewable energy portfolio while maintaining a strong position in the thermal market.

Means of finance
We propose to fund the requirements of the objects detailed above entirely from the Net Proceeds. Accordingly,
Paragraph VII C of Part A of Schedule VIII of the SEBI ICDR Regulations (which requires firm arrangements of
finance to be made through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amount
to be raised through the Fresh Issue and existing identifiable internal accruals) does not apply.
Our fund requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on internal management estimates based on
current market conditions, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent
82
agency. We operate in a highly competitive and dynamic industry and may have to revise our estimates from time to
time on account of changes in external circumstances or costs, or changes in other financial conditions, business or
strategy. In case of variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above, increased
fund requirements may be financed through our internal accruals and/or incremental debt, as required. If the actual
utilization towards any of the objects is lower than the proposed deployment such balance will be used for future
growth opportunities including funding existing objects, if required, and general corporate purposes, to the extent that
the total amount to be utilized towards the general corporate purposes will not exceed 25% of the Net Proceeds in
compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
In the event that estimated utilization out of the Net Proceeds in a Fiscal is not completely met, due to any reason, the
same shall be utilized (in part or full) in the subsequent period as may be determined by our Company, in accordance
with applicable law. Any such change in our plans may require rescheduling of our expenditure programs and
increasing or decreasing expenditure for a particular object vis-à-vis the utilization of Net Proceeds.
We have entered into various financing arrangements with banks, financial institutions and other entities. The
borrowing arrangements entered into by us include short term and long term borrowings, including through issuance
of masala bonds by our wholly owned subsidiary, SGPL, to our Promoter, SCU (“Masala Bonds”). For details of
these financing arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 619.
We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds, aggregating up to ₹ 31,590.00 million, towards repayment or
prepayment of certain indebtedness incurred by certain of our Subsidiaries.

^As per certificate issued by Manohar Chowdhry & Associates, Chartered Accountant, dated February 21, 2018.
^^As per the certificate issued by Manohar Chowdhry & Associates, Chartered Accountant, dated February 21, 2018, the borrowings have been utilised for the purpose for which
they were availed, and as stipulated in each of the relevant borrowing documents.
(1)This loan was assigned by IDFC Bank Limited to National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development pursuant to the Deed of Assignment cum Amendment to the Common
87
The aggregate amount to be utilised from the Net Proceeds towards repayment/ pre-payment of any combination of
the borrowings detailed above, will not exceed ₹ 31,590.00 million. Such repayment/ prepayment will help reduce our
outstanding indebtedness and debt servicing costs and enable utilization of our accruals for further investment in our
business growth and expansion. In addition, we expect that this would improve our ability to raise further resources
in the future to fund our potential business development opportunities.
In the case of repayment/ prepayment of the borrowings availed by our indirect Subsidiaries, i.e. subsidiaries of SGIL
(our wholly-owned direct subsidiary), our Company will invest the relevant amount out of the Net Proceeds in SGIL
by way of further investment in the equity shares of SGIL. SGIL will, in turn, make further investment in the equity
shares of our relevant indirect subsidiaries identified as the borrowers in the table above. As regards partial repayment
of the Masala Bonds, SGPL is a wholly owned Subsidiary of our Company as of the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. However, on completion of the Proposed Merger, SGPL will merge into our Company. Accordingly, upon
implementation of the Proposed Merger, the indebtedness incurred by SGPL, including by way of issuance of the
Masala Bonds, will form part of the total indebtedness of our Company. For further details on the Proposed Merger,
see “History and Certain Corporate Matters – Details regarding acquisition of business/undertakings, mergers,
amalgamation, revaluation of assets, etc. – Proposed Merger on page 155. In the event that the scheme of merger to
be filed in relation to the Proposed Merger has not been effected prior to the date on which our Company proposes to
utilize the Net Proceeds for the partial repayment of the Masala Bonds, our Company will provide the relevant portion
of the Net Proceeds to SGPL by way of further investment in the equity shares of SGPL. SGPL will, in turn, use such
funds to repay the Masala Bonds to SCU.
None of our Subsidiaries has any stated dividend policy and our Company is not assured any dividends on account of
such further investment in the equity shares of our Subsidiaries.
Given the nature of the borrowings identified in the table above and the terms of repayment, the aggregate outstanding
loan amounts mentioned above may vary from time to time. In addition, we may, from time to time, repay, refinance,
enter into further financing arrangements or draw down funds from existing facilities. The indebtedness we will repay/
pre-pay out of the Net Proceeds will be selected based on various commercial considerations including, among others,
the interest rate on the loan facility, the amount of the loan outstanding and the remaining tenor of the loan, any
conditions attached to the borrowings restricting our ability to pre-pay/ repay the borrowings, receipt of any applicable
consents or approvals for repayment/ pre-payment from the respective lenders and applicable law governing such
borrowings.
However, based on our current plans, our Company intends to prioritize the partial repayment of the Masala Bonds
by utilization of an aggregate amount of ₹ 17,662.30 million out of the Net Proceeds in Fiscal 2019. Pursuant to the
partial repayment of Masala Bonds, each tranche of the Masala Bonds will be reduced in value or amortized as set out
under repayment schedule in the table above, and the redemption of each tranche of the Masala Bonds upon such
amortization will be undertaken in compliance with the minimum average maturity requirement of three years
prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. In this connection, the authorized dealer bank, The Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation Limited, has, pursuant to a letter dated February 21, 2018, provided its concurrence to the partial
repayment of the Masala Bonds and the repayment schedule of the Masala Bonds, as set out in the table above.
Our Promoter, SCU, has availed loans from third parties for the purposes of raising funds for subscribing to the Masala
Bonds. SCU has passed a board resolution on February 9, 2018 undertaking that the entire proceeds received by SCU
on partial repayment of the Masala Bonds from the Net Proceeds, will be utilized towards pre-payment and/or
repayment of such loans availed by SCU from third parties.
The Net Proceeds will first be utilized for the object as set out above. Subject to this, we intend to deploy any balance
left out of the Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes and the business requirements of our Company and
Subsidiaries, as approved by our management, from time to time, subject to such utilization for general corporate
purposes not exceeding 25% of the Net Proceeds, in compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Such general corporate purposes may include, but are not restricted to, the following:

(iii) servicing our interest obligations under our financing arrangements, as well as for repayment of loans
taken from time to time; and
(iv) ongoing general corporate purposes or exigencies, as approved by our Board, subject to compliance with

India’s need for energy is increasing at a fast rate because of economic growth and modernisation over the past
several years. India’s per capita electricity consumption has been continuously increasing over the years, from
631.4 kilowatts per hour (“kWh”) in Fiscal 2006 to 1,122.0 kWh in Fiscal 2017, according to provisional data as
per the Central Electricity Authority (“CEA”) report “Growth of electricity sector in India 1947-2017”, an
increase of 77.7% in 11 years, according to the CEA annual reports. The figure below depicts the year-on-year
growth in per capita electricity consumption in India.

Despite this healthy increase, per capita electricity consumption continues to be significantly lower than other
major and developing economies. Developing countries like Brazil, Malaysia and China have significantly higher
per capita electricity consumption than India. The figure below depicts India’s per capita electricity consumption
vis-à-vis other countries:

India’s expenditure on electricity constitutes a small percentage of the total household expenditure. Strong
economic growth is expected to increase per capita income, resulting in more disposable income to spend on
electricity. The increase in income would improve the general standard of living, which in turn would further
propel demand for electricity. The below figure reflects India’s low per capita expenditure on electricity vis-à-vis
other countries:

Between Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2017, India’s peak demand increased at approximately 5% compounded annual
growth rate (“CAGR”) to reach 159.54 GW, while the installed power generation increased at a CAGR of
approximately 10%, from 200 GW to 327 GW during the period. This has been driven by healthy growth in gross
domestic product (“GDP”), although the deteriorating financial health of distribution companies (“DISCOMs”)
has curtailed growth. The following figure shows the five year plan wise growth in terms of capacity addition:

The overall energy consumption in India, including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, and renewables and
biofuels is considerably lower as compared with other economic superpowers such as the United States and China.
However, as per BP Energy Outlook 2017, India is likely to witness over 100% increase in energy consumption
from Fiscal 2015 to Fiscal 2035. This is significantly higher than other countries. Coal is the major source of
energy in India and its consumption is expected to double by Fiscal 35.

In terms of electricity consumption, during Fiscal 2016, industrial consumption accounted for 30%, domestic for
29%, agriculture for 21%, commercial for 12%, and other categories accounted for the remaining electricity
consumption. However, with improving electricity access, particularly in villages, rising disposable income and
higher supply to agriculture, the consumption mix is expected to undergo a shift. The consumer-wise demand

Demand from the agriculture sector grew at over 7% CAGR in seven years to Fiscal 2016, owing to increased
mechanisation and modern irrigation practices. Going forward, the Government of India (“GoI”) is expected to
make concerted efforts towards 100% household electrification and providing round-the-clock power to rural
households and adequate power to agricultural consumers with programmes such as ‘24x7 Power for All’. The
programme also aims to ensure 24 hours of power supply to separate agriculture and non-agriculture feeders,
facilitate judicious fostering of supply to agricultural and non-agricultural consumers in rural areas, and strengthen
the sub-transmission and distribution infrastructure in rural areas, including metering of distribution transformers,
feeders and consumers. It is also expected that electricity currently being supplied through back up facilities like
invertors and diesel generators may move back to the grid with stable quality of supply.
Industrial consumers use the highest quantum of energy and pay one of the highest tariffs, contributing 40% of
the revenues of distribution companies. Going forward, the GoI’s push towards promoting manufacturing in India
(for example, the ‘Make in India’ initiative), coupled with significant improvement in transmission corridors, is
expected to drive demand from this segment.

India has conventionally faced peak demand and energy shortage, despite growth in capacity addition in the past
six decades. While many states had no-deficit situation, other states across the northern and southern regions
experience over 5% deficit, as of March 2017. Jammu & Kashmir experienced the highest peak deficit, followed
by Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttarakhand and Assam.
The deficit figures quoted above explain demand in a restricted scenario. This considers the extant limitations of
power supply in India resulting from factors such as scheduled/unscheduled load shedding, unconnected load,
power supplied through back-up and deiseal generators facilities suppressed level of consumption. The
unconstrained demand is estimated to be large and the demand figures are likely to increase owing to several
factors.
Consumer projections for ex-bus energy requirements from Fiscal 2017 to Fiscal 2022 is shown below. The
demand is expected to grow at approximately 7.7% CAGR from Fiscal 2017 to Fiscal 2022.

Note: “Others” include: railways, public water works and public lighting.
The key drivers for the demand increase would be initiatives such as ‘24x7 Power for All’, development of ‘smart
cities’, the ‘Housing for All’ scheme, industrial push through ‘Make in India’, increasing urbanisation,
infrastructure requirements, electric mobility, and overall strong economic growth.
The GoI has announced its goal to produce only electric vehicles (“EVs”) from year 2030. With the right policies
in place and the GoI’s focus on promoting EVs, these are expected to further increase demand. However taking
even a conservative approach, EVs would contribute around 18 billion units to the overall electricity demand in
the country in 2022:

Supply Projections
Rising demand from various consumer categories would not only require installation of additional capacities but
also ensure the existing units run at a higher PLF. Running of units at higher PLF would ensure larger availability
of energy to meet the rising demand. The increase in supply of energy units would also help bridge the demand-
supply energy deficit. The total available energy is expected to reach 1,763 billion units by Fiscal 2022.

Source: CRIS Analysis
CRIS expects total power capacity additions of approximately 95 GW over Fiscal 2017 to Fiscal 2022. However,
this is lower as compared with the preceding five-year period, primarily due to a slowdown in capacity additions
in thermal power owing to stretched balance sheet of developers, limited fresh long-term PPAs, and domestic fuel
availability issue. With these issues, thermal-based plants, which contribute approximately 66% to the installed
power generation capacity, are expected to see lower level of installations in the coming years.
The share of hydroelectricity-based generation declined as tougher regulations, difficult terrain, long gestation
period, and large capital expenditure made investments risky. Similarly, protests and lack of availability of
technology has marred the development of the nuclear power sector during this period. On the other hand,
renewable energy is expected to witness robust growth led by strong government support and improving cost
competitiveness with conventional power.
The total generation capacity is expected to reach above 400 GW by Fiscal 2022 to meet the demand projections.
The figure below depicts the year-wise growth in installed capacity, based on assessment made in mid-year 2017:
103
Demand-Supply Balance Projections
The current situation in India of a power surplus of 100 billion units of energy is expected to reverse by Fiscal
2021. From being in a 11% energy surplus in Fiscal 2017, the scenario is most likely to reverse to a 5% energy
deficit in Fiscal 2022, provided all initiatives mentioned above (including the GoI’s ‘24x7 Power for All’ initiative
as well as DISCOM commitment towards procuring the same) are achieved. The below figure shows the reversal
of the prevailing energy surplus condition:

Similarly, the current situation of peak surplus is expected to reverse by Fiscal 2020 and the gap is likely to widen
over the years. This is largely on account of increased installation by renewable energy sources vis-à-vis sources
that can provide power during peak. The below figure shows the reversal of the prevailing peak surplus condition:

Renewable Energy
Historically, coal has dominated India’s electricity generation mix, mainly because of significant reserves of coal.
However, over the long term, the share of coal-based generation is expected to decline as India gears up to
capitalize on its high potential for generation from renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass, small hydro,
and cogeneration bagasse. Strong government support along with a drop in tariffs is expected to support growth
in renewable energy. India’s capacity from installed grid-interactive renewable power systems has increased
steadily from approximately 7.7 GW in Fiscal 2001 to approximately 57 GW in Fiscal 2017. The GoI has set a
target to achieve 175 GW of renewable capacity by Fiscal 2022, with an intent to tap into the abundant renewable
resources and reduce the coal import bill. Altogether, the share of renewable energy sector and solar power, in
104
particular, is expected to rise sharply in India’s fuel mix in the coming decades. The graph below depicts India’s
standing in terms of total installed renewable capacity vis-à-vis other major countries.

Future Trends
With an intent to tap into the abundant indigenous renewable resources and reduce the coal import bills, the GoI
has set a target to achieve 175 GW of renewable capacity with 100 GW of solar-based capacity by Fiscal 2022.
To achieve these targets, an average 21.7 GW per year, or three times the capacity GoI added in 2016, needs to
be added over the next six years. We expect total renewable energy additions of approximately 60 GW over Fiscal
2017 to Fiscal 2022. This will be driven by:
National Solar Mission: This policy has clearly chalked out a plan for phase-wise awarding of projects under
different schemes such as bundling with coal-based power and state-based viability gap funding. Also, central
procurement through NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam and Solar Energy Corporation of India (“SECI”) significantly
reduces the risk of power offtake and payment delays. This provides developers long-term clarity.
Solar parks: Solar parks have eased the hurdles for developers to install solar power assets and, hence, offer an
attractive proposition to develop solar power. The solar mission planned to develop 20 GW of solar capacity
through solar parks initially, but this was later revised to an aim of 40 GW.
Green energy corridors: The government has taken steps to develop a grid-connected network for the
transmission of renewable energy produced from various renewable energy projects, thereby recognizing the need
for transmission infrastructure to cope with increasing renewable energy capacity. Once complete, the green
energy corridors are expected to facilitate evacuation from renewable projects giving a boost to interstate sale of
renewable energy.
107
Centralized procurement of Renewable power: Centralized procurement of wind and solar power with larger
unit sizes through agencies such as SECI, NVVN etc. via a back-to-back PPA. This has enabled risk mitigation
through backing of a credit worthy central agency and led to completion of large renewable energy plants.
However, the enforcement of renewable purchase obligation targets would be critical. Further, mitigation of
payment and curtailment of risk, land acquisition and availability of transmission capacities (intra-state and inter-
state) would also play an important part.
Increasing solar share would require greater balancing power in the form of hydro or gas power to meet India’s
variable and peak demand. Therefore, commensurate investment in the storage or hydro or gas sectors is necessary
to maximize solar generation. The energy storage problems of renewable sources and the supply continuity issues
are also expected to be addressed over the medium term with technology improvement and scale benefits
supporting a drop in storage costs. The recently concluded bid invited by NLC India Limited (“NLC”) for
operating two solar photovoltaic plants, each with a capacity of 10 MW, integrated with a 28 MWH battery energy
storage system at south Andaman, saw record participation by 10 large corporations in India. The lowest bidder
was 38% lower than GoI’s estimates.
The expected year-wise renewable energy installed capacity is shown in the following figure:

Concerns about climate change in the past few years and concerted action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in
the light of global commitments have led to a plethora of incentives by the GoI for promotion of renewable energy.
In Fiscal 17, the renewable energy sector reported a record capacity addition of over 11 GW, an increase of
approximately 60% over 7.1 GW reported in Fiscal 16. This was driven by large capacity additions in the wind
and solar power segments, at approximately 5.5 GW each.
Wind energy is one of the major contributors for the renewable sector with almost 55% of the total renewable
installed capacity. India is the fourth largest wind market after China, USA and Germany. According to National
Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), the Indian wind industry has a potential of 302 GW at 100 meters hub height.
The GoI has set a target of 60 GW by Fiscal 2022 and initiatives such as ‘Make in India’ and preferential power
procurement have enabled the growth of wind power in the country. This has enabled the wind sector to grow and
witness an addition of 15 GW in the last five years.
With the recent change in procurement model from feed-in tariff (“FiT”) to competitive bidding, the wind sector
has also witnessed a drop in tariffs. Other factors such as strong domestic manufacturing capabilities and enhanced
capability to tap wind resources (higher plant load factors (“PLFs”)) have also allowed the wind sector to reach
competitive levels.
Recent auctions for the Bhadla Phase-III Solar Park in Rajasthan saw solar tariffs falling to a record low of Rs
2.44/ kWh. ACME, a solar company, won a mandate to set up a 200 MW solar plant in Bhadla Solar Park and sell
power to the GoI’s SECI. In the same auction, SBG Cleantech won rights for 300 MW, quoting a tariff of Rs
2.45/kWh. The recent 500 MW solar power bidding for GUVNL concluded with GRT Jewellers being awarded
the project at a tariff of Rs 2.65/ kWh.
108
Similarly, wind power tariff also fell to ₹3.46 per unit in first auction for procurement of wind capacity in India.
Wind power tariff fell to a record low of ₹2.64 per unit in second round of bidding conducted by state-run SECI
for 1 GW of wind power contracts. In the recently concluded third round of bidding for 2 GW wind projects, tariff
fell to ₹2.44 per unit. The following table provides wind capacity allocated in the last three bids conducted by
SECI in MW.
Ready land and infrastructure at the solar park, and high level of risk cushion provided to the developers under
the PPA, both as part of payment security in the form of state guarantee and grid curtailment security in the form
of minimum offtake guarantee irrespective of grid unavailability, have helped reduce risks significantly. In
addition to lower risk, reduction in tariff of renewable generation has been aided by lower equipment cost, newer
technology and access to better sites.
The fall in renewable tariffs has significantly increased its competitiveness as the bid tariff was lower or on a par
with the average power purchase cost of most states in India. In fact, the average cost of generation per unit of
electricity from a newly installed thermal power plant is estimated at Rs 3.9 per unit. This augurs well for RE as
it will improve affordability and off-take, leading to an increase in share in the overall fuel mix.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (“MNRE”) estimates India’s solar potential at over 750 GW and
wind potential at 302 GW.
Lowering of electricity tariff from renewable sources on account of strong government support in terms of
incentives and execution support (green energy corridors and solar parks), development in technology, falling
capital costs, and enhanced renewable purchaser obligation (“RPO”) targets have helped renewable energy to
compete aggressively with conventional sources and achieve grid parity. Availability of capital, particularly from
private equity firms, as well as equipment linked financing, have also supported growth. Increased focus on
reducing carbon footprints through initiatives such as signing of memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) for
technology transfer, tax holidays, exemptions from custom duties, single-window clearances, easy loans, and
market for trading carbon certificates have helped attract investments. The National Solar Mission has set an
ambitious target of deploying 20 GW of grid connected solar power by 2022, which was later revised to 100 GW.
Buoyed by government assistance, favorable policy and regulatory framework, many independent power
producers (“IPPs”) have entered the solar space. The presence of a higher number of players would not only
increase the installed renewable capacity, but also ensure strong market competition. Competition would also
encourage innovation in battery energy storage systems, which had largely remained the retarding factor in the
growth of the solar, particularly rooftop solar.
Thermal
Suppressed electricity demand in the past few years and constraints on the financial flexibility of many developers
on account of high gearing and poor cash flows from existing projects has led to a slowdown in investments in
thermal power projects. The Draft National Electricity Plan 2016 also envisaged that no new thermal (including
gas) power capacities would be developed beyond Fiscal 2022.
However, a considerable quantum (over 54 GW ) of thermal capacity is still under various phases of planning and
construction. Upon an analysis of the actual progress of works (quantum of investment already made and stage of
construction), it can be seen that many such projects will likely be commissioned by Fiscal 2022.
On the other hand, some projects are only at a planning stage, and, in many cases, no significant investment has
been made. A few projects are in the under-construction phase, but their pace of work is very slow. Many such
109
projects will likely get delayed and commissioning would be deferred further. Only 44 GW of new capacity is
expected to get commissioned by Fiscal 2022. There are multiple reasons for this, such as the inability of many
private investors to infuse funds, the state facing fiscal limitations after UDAY, higher investment in renewable
energy projects, and the poor financial health of DISCOMs.
Besides, the CEA has identified approximately 34 GW of capacity which has completed 25 years of project life,
according to the September 2015 CEA report, which needs to be replaced, retired, or renovated and modernized
in a phased manner. The Southern Region Power Committee has identified plants where flue-gas desulfurization
(“FGD”) installation is not possible, and taking into account the reluctance of states to retire all old capacity, only
11 GW of such capacities have been considered for retirement or decommissioning by the end of Fiscal 2022 in
a phased manner. Certain plants are being phased out due to non-availability of space for installation of FGD,
which helps remove sulphur dioxide from exhaust flue gases of fossil-fuel power plants. Retirement of some old
and inefficient capacity, such as Patratu Thermal Power Station (five units totalling 455MW), has already started.
The year-wise new thermal capacity addition and retirement or decommissioning of old capacities by Fiscal 2022
is shown in the following figure.
New thermal capacity addition and retirement by Fiscal 2022 (GW)
Therefore, the total net installed thermal capacity is expected to increase by 33 GW to reach 251 GW by Fiscal
2022.

Historically, the average PLF has remained low. The highest was 75% in Fiscal 2011, which could be attributed
to poor supply side infrastructure, improper delivery mechanisms and muted demand because of affordability
issues.
A robust pace of increase in the installed capacity led to an oversupply scenario where it was difficult for the
generators to tie up long-term PPAs. Going forward, as demand is expected to increase at a healthy pace whereas
growth in upcoming thermal capacity is expected to reduce, the situation of an oversupply is likely to reverse.
The average PLF for coal-based power plants was 59.9% in Fiscal 2017. The figure below shows the PLF for
thermal plants in the southern region for Fiscal 2017:
110
Southern Region plants PLF
Although average PLF is unlikely to increase dramatically, it will increase slowly considering the various demand-
and supply-side initiatives being undertaken by the GoI.
Increase in the PLF due to demand growth will need to be complemented by initiatives such as commercial mining,
higher coal extraction targets for Coal India Limited (“CIL”), preferential coal supply linkage, and the Scheme to
Harness and Allocate Koyla (“SHAKTI”) which can revive many fuel-deprived power plants.
Uncontracted capacity
Capacity to the tune of 28 GW has been classified as uncontracted assets owing to multiple reasons such as paucity
of funds for developing the project, absence of fuel supply agreements, absence of long-term PPAs, or absence of
a combination of the above. The GoI is weighing different proposed solutions to address the problem of stressed
power projects. Some of the key initiatives undertaken were:
SHAKTI for allocation of coal blocks to plants with and without signed PPAs;
Flexible Structuring Scheme (‘5:25’) – Flexible refinancing and repayment option for long-term infrastructure
projects where the total exposure of lenders is more than Rs 500 crore;
Strategic Debt Restructuring (“SDR”) aims at reviving stalled projects by giving equity participation to banks
in such projects and delinking the existing promoter of the project; and
Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (‘S4A’) aims at deep financial restructuring of debt
ridden projects by allowing lenders to acquire equity in the stressed project with existing promoter allowed
to continue in the management even while being a minority shareholder. Unlike the SDR Scheme which is
aimed at delinking the existing promoter, under the S4A scheme banks would allow existing promoter to
continue in the management even while being a minority shareholder.
Along with S4A, enactment and enforcement of new insolvency code has temporarily taken stressed capacity
out of the market, benefitting the solvent, well-funded players. With new PPAs expected to be signed with
increase in demand clubbed with S4A, will allow many of the developers to come out of stress position.
The Reserve Bank of India has recently substituted the existing guidelines (Framework for Revitalising Distressed
Assets, Flexible Structuring Scheme, Strategic Debt Restructuring Scheme (SDR), and Scheme for Sustainable
Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A) ), with a “Revised Framework” for a harmonised and simplified resolution
of stressed assets.
With lower capacity addition in the thermal segment and higher expected demand in future, the untied capacity
(from new upcoming capacity) is expected to decline in the future, as depicted in the figure below:
111
Uncontracted capacity (GW)
As per the World Energy Outlook Report 2015, the share of coal in India’s primary energy mix will rise to 49%
in 2040 from the current levels of 44%. The report pegs coal consumption growth at 3.8% annually until 2040.
The figure below depicts the domestic demand and supply trends for coal:
Domestic demand and supply for coal over the past 10 years in India
As is evident from the graph above, domestic coal production is beginning to rise and the gap between
consumption and domestic supply is shrinking. Coal imports have also started to decline. From April to November
in Fiscal 2016, thermal coal imports declined nearly 15% as against the same period in Fiscal 2015.
CIL registered growth in production by 7% and 9% in Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, respectively, in line with the
country’s plan to almost double domestic supply by 2020. CIL shall account for 80% of production while the
remaining 20% will be contributed by Singareni Collieries Companies Limited and other state utilities and the
private sector. The GoI has so far auctioned and allocated 75 coal blocks (31 coal blocks by way of auction) to
several companies which are under various stages of implementation.
It is almost certain that domestic coal supply, particularly from CIL, will see unprecedented growth as observed
during the past couple of years. However, domestic supply is unlikely to match domestic demand in the medium
to long term. The ambitious plan to increase domestic coal supply will be constrained by the prevailing socio-
political environment and the monopolistic nature on the supply side, which will leave scope for imports.
The Coal India Vision Document 2020 pegs the annual growth in the domestic demand for coal at more than 10%
by 2020. However, this demand will be subject to several factors such as execution of renewable energy projects
and the successful restructuring of ailing DISCOMS. The draft CEA report on the National Electricity Plan
indicates that if the GoI’s plan to reach 175 GW of renewable power is true, then domestic coal production would
be sufficient to meet the thermal coal demand by Fiscal 2022. The below figure depicts different coal production
scenarios under varied growth assumptions:

It would be possible for CIL to reach more than 750 million tonnes of coal production by Fiscal 2020 in spite of
several socio-political hurdles. One of the major bottlenecks of coal evacuation is likely to be managed through
operationalization of key railway links. Commissioning of these lines will improve the coal evacuation capacity.
Historical coal consumption and other factors
Financial year Coal for power generation (million tonnes) Thermal PLF Installed coal capacity (GW)

2012 418 73% 112

2014 489 66% 145
2015 530 64% 165
2016 546 62% 185
The capacity utilized is the PLF multiplied by the total capacity in that year. It clearly shows that even though the
PLF is decreasing, there is a continuous increase in coal consumption due to addition of extra capacity each year.
Excluding around 14 GW of imported coal based capacity, the domestic coal shortage has been estimated under
three different scenarios of PLF, i.e., 60%, 65% and 70%.

In the past 12 months, the closing stock of coal all over India has been dwindling. The decreasing closing stock
indicates an increase in the consumption of coal and, thereby, an increase in the consumption of electricity. The
lower coal stock may also be due to lower coal production and issues with its delivery at the generating plants. In
per MW terms, the coal stock has also reduced from 176 tonnes to 72 tonnes per MW from March 2017 to
September 2017.
India appears to be the only significant bright spot in an otherwise declining or, at best, stagnant global coal
market. Despite ambitious plans for renewable capacity addition, coal is going to be the mainstay in the total
electricity mix. Declining offtake from the different subsidiaries of CIL and the muted response to its linkage
auction are only temporary. Once demand drivers start having their impact, demand for coal will gain momentum.
Various initiatives for coal sector reform will surely improve domestic supply. However, India will continue to
import coal for many years in order to meet the coal requirement for its coastal power plants.

supported by implementation of UDAY, ‘24x7 Power for All’, shortage in domestic coal supply, and diminishing
supply overhang, can result in increased tariffs on the exchanges.
Further, significant renewable-based capacity in the medium term will increase DISCOMS’ dependency on the
short-term market to mitigate exposure to variability of its supply curve, which may also push up tariffs in short-
term markets. As observed from the following figure, the recent short-term tariff has also shown an increasing
trend:
Trend of short-term tariff (₹/kWh)
July16-Dec16: ₹2.95/kWh (Avg) Jan 17–Sep 17: ₹3.34/kWh (Avg) Oct 17-Apr 18: ₹4.14/kWh (Avg)
Increase in short-term power tariff may again reverse DISCOMS’ strategy of buying power from the short term
market towards long/medium term contracts. This progressive shift towards prudent decision-making by
DISCOMS, with respect to procurement of long/medium and short term power in the right mix will help the
exchanges to reflect actual market prices.

Overview of Long, Medium and Short Term Power Tariffs
Likely tariffs in the short and long/medium term for future tie-ups will depend on utilization of total available
uncontracted capacity in the country. Invariably it will also depend on the availability of domestic coal. Surplus
power available in the market vis-à-vis demand reduces with increased utilization of uncontracted capacity. Thus,
a rise in utilization of uncontracted capacity will result in an increase in long/medium term and short term power
tariffs.
Expected clearing prices for both long/medium term and short term is shown in the following figure:
Expected tariff trend for long/medium term and short term at national level
6.0 6.0
4.6 4.7
5.5 5.5
3.6 3.6
3.8 4.0
2.8 2.8
FY 17 FY 18 FY 19 FY 20 FY 21 FY 22
The long/medium term as well as short term power tariffs are expected to rise in the future to reach ₹6.00/kWh
and ₹5.5/kWh, respectively, by Fiscal 2022.
The central government enacted the Electricity Act, 2003 to promote competition and efficiency in the power
sector against the backdrop of the ongoing economic reforms in other key sectors of the economy. The Act
replaced the three existing legislations governing the power sector, namely Electricity Act, 1910; Electricity
(Supply) Act, 1948; and the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998. Prior to the Electricity Act, 2003, the
electricity industry recognized generation, transmission and supply as principal activities under ‘electricity
supply.’ Enactment of the Electricity Act, 2003 in June 2003 led to significant structural changes in the power
sector, such as:
de-licensing of generation;
Following the Electricity Act, 2003, several policies evolved in relation to determination of tariffs, such as the
National Electricity Policy, the National Electricity Plan, the National Tariff Policy and development of hydro
power.
The Ministry of Power at national level is responsible for perspective planning, policy formulation, processing of
projects for investment decision, monitoring of the implementation of power projects, training and manpower
116
development and the administration and enactment of legislation with regard to thermal and hydropower
generation, transmission and distribution.
All states and union territories have set up regulatory commissions to regulate and determine tariffs for distribution
and transmission companies as well as for generating companies which sell power to distribution companies. The
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) fulfills this responsibility for inter-state generation and
transmission and also for central power utilities. The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity was established to hear
appeals against the orders of adjudicating authorities (the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (“SERCs”),
the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commissions (“JERCs”), and Central Electricity Regulatory Commissions
(“CERCs”)).
Power Grid Corporation India Ltd. (“PGCIL”) is the central transmission utility and is responsible for planning
the inter-state transmission system, whereas the state transmission utilities are tasked with the development of the
intra-state transmission system. The transmission lines are operated in accordance with regulations and standards
of the CEA, CERC and SERC.
Power System Operation Corporation Limited (“POSOCO”) manages the national and regional grid from the
National Load Despatch Center and its five regional load dispatch centers through state-of-the-art unified load
dispatch and communication facilities. The load dispatch centers are responsible for the co-ordination of the
generation, transmission and distribution of electricity from moment to moment, so as to achieve maximum
security and efficiency.
The power distribution system is the last leg of the electricity value chain. The main function of the power
distribution system is to provide power to the premises of individual consumers. Responsibility for distribution
and supply of power to end consumers rests with the states. The power distribution segment in India is largely
dominated by the state government-owned distribution companies, although a few private entities are also present
in the sector to serve end consumers. Traders and exchanges facilitate trading of power between generation and
distribution utilities. Further, open access allows large consumers to procure power through traders, exchanges or
captive generation.

GoI initiatives
UDAY
The UDAY scheme aims to achieve efficiency and sustainability of DISCOMS by strengthening the financial
state of DISCOMS. This is achieved through four initiatives:
improving operational efficiencies of DISCOMS by lowering average aggregate technical and commercial
(“AT&C”) losses to 15% from the current level of over 24%;
A year and a half after the scheme’s official launch, AT&C losses in many of the states are already showing
improvement. States such as Gujarat and Karnataka have outperformed targets.
As on November 2017, 27 states and four union territories have signed MoUs under UDAY. With states issuing
UDAY bonds worth approximately Rs 1.725 trillion until October 2016, DISCOMS’ financial health is expected
to improve owing to reduced interest liability after transfer of debt to the respective state governments.
Although complete financial turnaround of all DISCOMS may be difficult to achieve by the end of Fiscal 2022,
many of the states are expected to show considerable improvement in cost recovery. Such improvement in cost
recovery is a clear sign of growth in the sector, which will provide the private players the much required comfort
to make larger investments.
FAME Scheme
The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (“FAME”) scheme was
launched in 2015 under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (“NEMMP”) to support the development and
manufacturing eco-system of the hybrid and electric vehicles market. The objective of the scheme is to provide
fiscal and monetary incentives for adoption and market creation of hybrid and electric vehicles in the country.
The scheme covers hybrid and electric vehicles, which include mild hybrid, strong hybrid, plug-in hybrid and
battery-powered vehicles. Under the FAME scheme, 99,000 vehicles have received support by way of demand
incentives. In addition, the Department of Heavy Industry has approved numerous pilot projects, charging
infrastructure projects and technological development projects aggregating approximately Rs 155 crore.
In September 2017, the GoI launched the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (“Saubhagya”) project to
provide electricity connections to over 40 million families in rural and urban areas by December 2018. The main
objective of the scheme is to fund the cost of last-mile connectivity to participating households.
The scheme will cover three million households: 2.5 million households in rural areas and 0.5 million
households in urban areas.
118
The households for free electricity connections will be identified through data from Socio Economic and
Caste Census (“SECC”) 2011.
Electric consumption will be paid by customers as per the prevailing tariff charged by DISCOMS.
Solar power packs of 200 to 300 watt peak capacity (“Wp”) with battery banks will be provided to un-
electrified households located in remote and inaccessible areas.
The connections will be provided free-of-charge to households that are below the poverty line.
By providing electricity to households with prepaid and smart meters, demand will be created, which will support
DISCOMS. This will help in global change commitments as kerosene will be substituted with electricity for
general lighting activities. Providing electricity to villages would also have a multiplier effect on economic
activities and job creation. This will improve India’s per capita power consumption from the current 1,122.0 kWh,
which is among the lowest in the world.
While the Saubhagya scheme targets to provide electricity connections to more families, ensuring reliable supply
over 24 hours would still be a challenge that needs to be addressed.
‘24x7 Power for All’ is a joint initiative of the GoI and State Governments with the objective to provide 24x7
power to all households, industries, commercial businesses and other entities by Fiscal 2019. The ‘24x7 Power
for All’ program estimates an investment requirement of approximately ₹3,000 billion. Such investments would
cater to network expansion, system strengthening, as well as loss reduction measures.

BUSINESS
Unless otherwise specified in this section, references to “we”, “us” or “our” or words of similar import refers to
our Company together with its subsidiaries SGIL and SGPL on a consolidated basis after the Corporate
Reorganization. See “History and Other Corporate Matters – Corporate Reorganization” on page 155 for
further details on the Corporate Reorganization.
Overview
We are a leading independent power producer (“IPP”) in India, led by a strong management team with extensive
experience and a successful track record of identifying, developing and operating power generation assets across
the thermal and renewable power sectors in India. As of December 31, 2017, we had a total power generation
capacity of approximately 4.07 GW, comprising approximately 3.57 GW of operating generation capacity and
0.50 GW of generating capacity under construction. Additionally we have been informed by Solar Energy
Corporation of India (“SECI”) that we have been awarded an additional 0.30 GW of wind power capacity in the
third SECI wind power auctions conducted in February 2018, taking our overall power generation capacity to
approximately 4.37 GW. We have a well-balanced and diversified portfolio of power assets, which together
provide cash flow stability, growth and potential profitability upside. As of December 31, 2017, our portfolio
comprises:
two fully-operational thermal power assets with four 0.66 GW supercritical coal-fired units, having a total
power generation capacity of 2.64 GW located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India;
34 wind energy assets with a total power generation capacity of approximately 1.39 GW located across seven
states in India; this includes approximately 0.50 GW in two wind power assets that we are currently
constructing in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, India; and
three solar power assets with a total power generation capacity of 0.04 GW located in the states of Rajasthan
and Gujarat, India.
We sell power generated from our operational assets under a combination of long-term and short-term power
purchase agreements (“PPAs”) to central government agencies, state-owned distribution companies
(“DISCOMs”), private customers, as well as on the spot market. Over 62% of our total capacity (over 96% of our
renewables capacity and over 40% of our thermal capacity) is under long-term PPAs with DISCOMs, private
customers and power trading companies, ensuring stability of cash flows and potential upside in a tightening
power market.
We are promoted by Sembcorp Utilities Pte. Ltd. (“SCU”), which is part of the Sembcorp group and a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries Ltd. (“SCI”), which is listed on the main board of the Singapore
Exchange. The Sembcorp group is a global conglomerate present across in 15 countries across five continents,
with businesses in energy, water, on-site logistics, marine and urban development. Globally, the Sembcorp group
has facilities with approximately 11 GW of gross power capacity and water and wastewater treatment plants with
a combined capacity of approximately nine million cubic meters per day. The Sembcorp group is a developer and
provider of energy, steam, water, natural gas and on-site logistics solutions serving both industrial and municipal
customers. The Sembcorp group’s capabilities extend across diverse fuel sources such as natural gas, coal and
renewables. It has an established track record in executing large-scale greenfield energy and water projects
globally. Our management processes, including our commitment to the environment and sustainability, aim to
reflect the robust governance practices of the Sembcorp group.
We are currently operating in the growing Indian energy market, where we are well-positioned to benefit from
positive market trends. According to CRISIL, the current scenario of peak power surplus is expected to reverse
by Fiscal 2020 resulting in a peak power deficit that is expected to grow to approximately 5% by Fiscal 2021.
This is due to a number of factors, including favorable Government of India (“GoI”) regulations and policies,
GoI’s strong commitment towards electrification of households and transportation, growth in the Indian economy,
and increasing urbanization and industrialization. The tightening power supply-demand balance is resulting in an
increase in thermal power tariffs, which will enable us to contract a little over half of our open thermal capacity
at higher tariffs with creditworthy DISCOMs in rapidly growing states. In the renewable energy sector,
competitive bidding through reverse auctions enables developers with strong engineering and operating
capabilities like us to secure large capacities with creditworthy customers. For example, our competitiveness is
120
demonstrated by the fact that we are the largest cumulative winner to date to win 0.80 GW of wind power capacity
in the recent three wind power auctions conducted by SECI in 2017 and 2018, according to CRISIL. See “Industry
– Recent development in renewable energy” on page 98 for more details on the recent SECI wind bids. Our
capabilities position us well for future growth, keeping in view GoI’s commitment to achieving 175 GW of
renewable energy capacity by 2022. Furthermore, the trend of growing transparency across the Indian power
sector in the form of open power auctions, transparent coal allocation, and publication of performance data,
benefits players such as us with financial strength and robust corporate governance practices.
Our thermal power assets, the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant, located on the eastern coast of
southern India, are designed for more sustainable power production. Our thermal power assets are based on
supercritical power generation technology, which allows them to operate at lower emission levels compared to
subcritical power plants. They use sea water for their power generation operations, which eliminates the need to
use precious ground water. All of our coal is transported through coastal and trans-ocean shipping, with last-mile
connectivity through two closed-pipe coal conveyor belt systems. This assures safety, reliability and
environmental compliance of our coal logistics. We have also ensured the reliability and cost competitiveness of
our thermal power assets through a number of measures. Our thermal power assets are designed for a wide range
of coal grades, which that allows us to source coal cost-effectively. The supercritical technology that we use is
well-suited to effectively cope with the intra-day demand swings prevalent in India. Our fuel supply agreements
(“FSA”) for the supply of domestic coal with Mahanadi Coal Limited (“MCL”), a subsidiary of Coal India
Limited (“CIL”), and with reputable suppliers of imported coal in Indonesia, South Africa and other countries,
ensure reliable access to low-cost coal from diverse sources and insulates us from coal shortages in India. Our
thermal power assets are located close to the Krishnapatnam port, a deep-water port, allowing us to minimize
transportation costs by deploying larger ships. Our operating processes also give us the capability to run our plants
at optimal heat rates with minimum auxiliary consumption. These factors have helped us and SGPL achieve an
average plant load factor (“PLF”) of 85.43% and 75.63% at the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant
respectively for the period between April and December 2017, which is well above the market average of 60%
for the same period, according to the Central Electricity Authority (“CEA”) Monthly Generation Reports.
We operate renewable power assets across seven states in India through SGIL, which we recently acquired. This
has given us deep experience in site selection, project development, commissioning, operations and optimization,
power contracting, financing and receivables management across the country. With recent forays into in-house
engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) and in-house operation and maintenance (“O&M”), we are
further strengthening our capabilities and competitiveness. We work with a diversified set of high quality
equipment suppliers, in order to evaluate, select and deploy the latest technology equipment on an arms-length
basis to be cost competitive in our chosen location. We believe that we have the ability to maximize production
and availability of our wind power assets through constant, active equipment performance optimization and
monitoring, which improves our asset viability and margin. We have adopted the Sembcorp group’s stringent
criteria for asset selection, with a disciplined bidding approach that includes comprehensive risk assessments to
protect returns. Based on our capabilities, we have been successful in building up a wind portfolio of 0.89 GW
comprising 604 wind turbines with an average PLF of 22.24% and 22.75% for the nine months ended December
31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our competitiveness is also evidenced by our track record in the
recent SECI wind auctions in 2017 where we secured an additional 0.50 GW of long-term PPAs with SECI and
PTC India Limited. We were also successful in acquiring an additional 0.30 GW of wind power capacity in the
recent wind power auctions conducted by SECI in February 2018.
Finally, across our renewable and thermal businesses, our policy is to maintain a prudent, conservative capital
structure. This is evidenced by our low debt-to-equity ratio of 66:34 on a proforma basis after giving effect to the
Corporate Reorganization as of September 30, 2017, with our cost of borrowing for our renewable and thermal
businesses being 9.61% (including short-term loans and letters of credit) and 9.20%, respectively. We intend to
continue to manage an efficient capital structure, with the future capital requirements of our growth projects being
funded through operating cash flows from our thermal and renewable power business after servicing existing debt
and external financing.
Corporate reorganization
Until February 2018, we only had one operating asset, the SEIL Power Plant consisting of two operating 660 MW
units. In February 2018, through the Corporate Reorganization (as defined below), Sembcorp group’s thermal
power and renewable energy assets in India were consolidated under our Company. As a result of the Corporate
Reorganization that became effective in February 2018, our Company acquired 100% of the equity shares of
SGPL and SGIL (the “Corporate Reorganization”). Accordingly, SGPL’s thermal power plant and SGIL’s
121
diversified portfolio of wind and solar assets in India, comprising assets in operation and under construction form
a part of our consolidated assets. Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus relate to periods prior to the Corporate Reorganization and therefore only include the financial

Well-balanced and diversified portfolio of high-quality renewable and thermal power assets with stability,
growth and potential profitability upside
We own and operate a diversified and well-balanced portfolio of thermal and renewable energy assets giving us
a favorable mix of stability, growth and profitability upside. Over 62% of our total capacity (over 96% of our
renewable capacity and over 40% of our thermal capacity) is contracted under long-term PPAs with DISCOMs,
private customers and power trading companies, ensuring stability of cash flows. Our renewable power assets that
we operate through SGIL, which we recently acquired, has one of the highest installed renewable capacity as a
percentage of total generation capacity among other IPPs in India, according to CRISIL. Our robust and growing
portfolio of renewable energy assets, against a background of favorable GoI regulations, provide us with
significant experience for further growth, potential profitability upside and sustainable capacity expansion in the
renewable energy sector in India. Increases in thermal power tariffs and tightening markets are set to enable us to
contract our remaining thermal capacity under long-term PPAs, short-term agreements and on the spot market at
favorable tariffs, providing potential profitability upside.
122
We have a diverse and balanced mix of customers, which reduces our financial risk exposure. We sell power
generated from our operational assets under a combination of long-term and short-term PPAs to central
government agencies, DISCOMs and private customers as well as on the spot market.
The following charts depict of our customer mix across our businesses. See “– SEIL Power Plant - power off-

respectively, while our first wind and solar power assets commenced commercial operations in September 2007
and November 2011, respectively, highlighting our portfolio’s substantial remaining asset life, potential for cash
flow stability and profitability upside. Approximately 99% of our assets have a remaining asset life of more than
20 years and approximately 92% of our assets have a remaining asset life of more than 25 years.
Promoted by a reputed sponsor with a proven track record, robust corporate governance and commitment to
sustainability
We are promoted by SCU, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent company of the Sembcorp group,
SCI. The Sembcorp group is a leading global conglomerate in the energy, water, on-site logistics, marine and
urban development sectors. SCI is listed on the main board of the Singapore Exchange and as at December 2017,
it is 49.46% owned by Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, the investment holding arm of the Government of
Singapore. The Sembcorp group is a global conglomerate present in 15 countries across five continents, with

our management systems and processes and we adopt a precautionary approach to avoid or minimize negative
impact. The Sembcorp group adopts environmentally-responsible processes for power generation and in the rest
of its utilities businesses. For example, in 2016 the Sembcorp group did not withdraw any ground water for its
power operations, supplied 154 million cubic meters of desalinated water to water-stressed communities and
treated 77.00 million cubic meters of wastewater for its customers.
In line with the Sembcorp group’s track record of efficient and responsible power generation, we have
implemented mechanisms to generate sustainable power. Specifically, we use supercritical technology for our
operations, as such technology allows operations at higher temperatures and pressures, reduces emissions, enables
higher efficiencies and is more sustainable than subcritical technology. We also do not depend on ground water
for our operations and use seawater from the Bay of Bengal, desalinating this seawater using the reverse osmosis
(“RO”) technology. Through our end-to-end supply chain, all of our coal is transported through coastal and trans-
ocean shipping, and our two closed-pipe-conveyor systems that transports coal from the Krishnapatnam port to
our plant site. This assures safety, reliability and environmental compliance of our coal logistics. We have also
installed mechanisms to handle and utilize fly ash in our operations. See “– Environment” for further details.
Well-positioned to capitalize on an attractive market with increasing tariffs and favorable GoI initiatives
We operate in a robust energy market and are well positioned to benefit from favorable market trends. CRISIL
expects the power deficit to grow to approximately 5% by Fiscal 2021 and the current scenario of peak power
surplus to reverse by Fiscal 2020. According to CRISIL, the demand for power in India is expected to increase
steadily because of a number of factors, including favorable regulatory and policy changes by the GoI, growth in
the Indian economy and increasing urbanization, industrialization and technology usage in the power sector.
According to CRISIL, GoI initiatives such as the ‘24x7 Power for All’ project, the ‘Make in India’ initiative, the
development of ‘smart cities’, the ‘Saubhagya’ project for rural electrification and increased prevalence of electric
vehicles by 2030 with the implementation of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric
Vehicles (“FAME”) scheme will encourage demand for electricity in India. Based on the spot price trends as of
December 31, 2017 on the Indian Energy Exchange, the growth in power demand is supported by increase in
thermal power tariffs and merchant tariffs in the Indian power sector. The following chart highlights the recent
trend in increase in short-term tariff, according to CRISIL.
124
Trend of short-term tariff (₹/kWh)
July16-Dec16: ₹2.95/kWh (Avg) Jan 17–Sep 17: ₹3.34/kWh (Avg) Oct 17-Apr 18: ₹4.14/kWh (Avg)
This is enabling us to contract a little over half of our open thermal capacity at higher tariffs with creditworthy
DISCOMs in rapidly growing states. The annual per capita consumption of electricity in India has increased by
77.7% in 11 years, from 631.4 kWh in Fiscal 2006 to 1,122 kWh in Fiscal 2017, according to reports by CEA.
However, the annual per capita electricity consumption in India is still low compared to 13,155 kWh in the United
States, 7,087 kWh in Germany, 5,068 kWh in China and the world average of 3,281 kWh in 2017. CRISIL expects
that the total installed thermal power capacity in India will increase by 33.00 GW to 251 GW by Fiscal 2022,
representing a net CAGR of approximately 3%.
According to CRISIL, most of the capacity addition is expected in the renewable space with the GoI’s plan to
achieve 175 GW of renewable energy capacity in India by Fiscal 2022. The GoI’s voluntary commitment at the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce India’s carbon intensity by 20% to 25%
below its 2005 level by 2020, and the introduction of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (“NAPCC”),
are key drivers for increased demand in the renewable sector. The sector has also benefitted from the steep decline
in solar panel prices over the last five years and the improving efficiency of technologically advanced wind
turbines with the capability to generate higher PLFs and operate in less windy areas. These factors, along with the
GoI’s initiative of increasing renewable purchase obligation (“RPO”) targets have resulted in renewable energy
in India becoming more competitive. See “Industry Overview” and “Regulations and Policies” on pages 98 and
143 for more details.
Trends such as the complete shift towards competitive bidding and the shift of bargaining power from original
equipment manufacturers to developers have improved transparency and enabled access to cost-competitive
power for consumers, according to CRISIL. The average size of power projects listed for bidding has increased,
thereby creating entry barriers for smaller companies. The GoI’s efforts to improve the financial condition of
DISCOMs through the Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (“UDAY”) scheme are showing positive results,
according to CRISIL, which could lead to an increase in the per capita consumption of electricity in the next few
years and consequently lead to the opening up of the PPA market. According to CRISIL, recent regulatory
changes, including the enactment of India’s new Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 which have temporarily
taken stressed capacity out of the market, benefits solvent players with financial strength such as us. These
favorable trends, along with increasing tariffs for thermal power, benefit companies such as us with financial
stability, robust corporate governance practices and an established track record of running and operating power
projects in India.
High quality and cost competitive equipment and technology: We deploy equipment sets from reputable suppliers
and have a diversified vendor base for our operations. Our coal boilers and turbines use supercritical technology,
which reduces emissions, ensures intra-day swing efficiency, allows us the flexibility to use a wide range of coal
grades for our operations and reduces the amount of coal consumed to generate power, as compared to
conventional subcritical technology. For our wind and solar power assets, we work with a diversified set of high
quality equipment suppliers in order to evaluate, select and deploy the latest technology equipment on an arms-
125
length basis to achieve the lowest cost of energy for our chosen sites. We believe that we have the ability to
maximize production and availability of our wind power assets through constant, active equipment performance
optimization and monitoring which improves our asset viability and margins. We have adopted the Sembcorp
group’s stringent criteria for asset selection with a disciplined bidding approach that includes comprehensive risk
assessments to protect returns.
Strategically located assets enabling cost competitiveness: We rely on sea and two eight-kilometer long closed
pipe-conveyor-belt systems to transport coal to our power plants, which ensures cost competitiveness and reduces
our dependency on transportation by rail and road. Our location close to the Krishnapatnam port, a deep-water
port, allows us to minimize transportation costs by deploying larger ships. Our operating processes give us the
capability to run our plants at optimal heat rates with minimum auxiliary consumption. The proximity of our
thermal power plants to the Krishnapatnam seaport, the Nellore railway station, and the national highways offers
logistical and cost efficiencies. Our proximity to the Bay of Bengal enables us to use seawater for our operations
instead of ground water and to receive a constant water supply for our operations. As our thermal power assets
are located in the same complex, we are able to achieve substantial synergies in maintaining optimum coal
inventory and management. We utilize the central transmission grid established by Power Grid Corporation of
India Limited (“PGCIL”) to evacuate power from the thermal power assets, thereby reducing risks associated
with congestions at state transmission utilities. Similarly, our wind power assets are located across the top seven
states in India in terms of wind power potential, and across two states in India with high solar power potential,
according to CRISIL.
Stable and long-term sources of coal supply: Our thermal power plants are designed to utilize a wide range of
coal grades for their operations, which allows us to source coal cost-effectively. We source our domestic and
imported coal requirements from MCL and international suppliers, respectively. We source the majority of our
coal requirement from MCL and import the remainder from PT Bayan Resources Tbk, Indonesia (“Bayan”) and
other international suppliers across various countries. This diversification of coal type and suppliers ensures
reliable access to low-cost coal from diverse sources insulates us from coal shortages in India and allows us to
blend coal of different grades within the operating parameters of our boilers, thereby lowering the average coal
price. See – “ SEIL Power Plant - Coal and water supply” and – “ SGPL Power Plant - Coal and water supply”
on pages 130 and 132, respectively.
Global best practices: We have an experienced in-house team with an objective to ensure revenue maximization,
delivering improved cost efficiencies and greater quality control across our thermal assets. We operate renewable
power assets across seven states in India, which has given us deep experience in site selection, project
development, commissioning, operations and optimization, power contracting, financing and receivables
management across the country. For example, our competitiveness is demonstrated by the fact that we are the
largest cumulative winner to date to win 0.80 GW of wind power capacity in the recent three wind power auctions
conducted by SECI in 2017 and 2018, according to CRISIL. See “Industry Overview – Recent development in
renewable energy” on page 98 for more details on the recent SECI wind bids. With recent forays into in-house
EPC and in-house O&M, we are further strengthening our capabilities and competitiveness. We recently
developed wind power assets located in the state of Karnataka in India, with total wind capacity of 0.08 GW, in-
house. We collaborate with our suppliers for O&M operations to ensure that our renewable assets operate based
on global best practices.
These factors have helped us achieve an average PLF of 85.43% and 75.63% at the SEIL Power Plant and the
SGPL Power Plant respectively for the period between April and December 2017, which is well above the market
average of 60% for the same period, according to the CEA Monthly Generation Reports. We have been successful
in building up a wind portfolio of 0.89 GW comprising 604 wind turbines with an average PLF of 22.24% and
22.75% for the nine months ended as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
We have been able to maintain sustainable and viable investments in our renewable energy business and this has
been demonstrated by our successful track record of winning bids for wind assets at competitive tariffs. We rely
on actual quotes on equipment prices and formulate our bids after conducting thorough market analysis and
engaging with our equipment suppliers and lenders to reduce costs and ensure stable returns. We fund our capital
requirements for our renewable energy business through internal cash accruals from the operating renewable
portfolio.
126
We have been disciplined in our bids for long-term and short-term thermal PPAs to leverage any increase in tariffs.
See “- Our Thermal power Business” on page 129 for further details. The SEIL Power Plant received ‘Mega
Power Project’ status from the MoP in January 2017, allowing us to benefit from certain tax benefits under the
GoI’s Mega Power Policy. We also received provisional ‘Mega Power Project’ status for the SGPL Power Plant
in April 2012. Our coal price is mostly pass-through under our long-term PPAs. We have optimized our supply
costs by primarily using sea logistics and two closed pipe-conveyor-belt systems to transport coal to our plant
sites. We do not expect to incur significant capital expenditure for our thermal business going forward, other than
costs relating to flue gas desulphurization, which is an Indian regulatory requirement.
Across our renewable and thermal businesses, our policy is to maintain a prudent, conservative capital structure.
This is evidenced by our low debt-to-equity ratio of 66:34 on a proforma basis after giving effect to the Corporate
Reorganization as of September 30, 2017, with our cost of borrowing for our renewable and thermal businesses
being 9.61% (including short-term loans and letter of credits) and 9.25%, respectively. We recently completed the
refinancing of both our thermal assets after their commissioning over the past few months, which includes
proceeds from SCU through a masala bond issuance by SGPL. We recently achieved financial closure for the 0.25
GW wind asset that we won in February 2017 at a lending rate of 9.00% as of December 31, 2017. In addition,
we have relationships with several financing institutions providing access to long-term project financing and
working capital financing on attractive terms. We hedge our financial risks though commodity and forex hedging.
We are led by a management team with extensive experience in the global and Indian thermal and renewable
energy sectors with an in-depth understanding of managing projects and a proven track record of performance.
Members of our senior management team led by Vipul Tuli, the managing director of our Company, Juvenil Jani,
the chief financial officer of our Company and Sunil Gupta, global head of renewables at SCI, have an average
experience of 25 years’ experience in the energy, infrastructure, and thermal and renewable energy sectors. In
addition, members of our management team possess complementary skills and have extensive experience in, and
knowledge of, the power industry. We have a dedicated and qualified in-house operations team to support the
management, both of whom are actively involved in the entire life cycle of the asset. We recognize the importance
of engaging our stakeholders to encourage open communication and build relationships. We maintain strong
relationships with state DISCOMs, other customers, equipment suppliers, financial institutions, coal suppliers, the
GoI and other key players. We have favorable relations with international coal suppliers due to our strong
parentage. Our management processes, including our commitment to the environment and sustainability, aim to
reflect the robust governance practices of the Sembcorp group.
Our Strategies
Grow our renewable energy portfolio while maintaining a strong position in the thermal market
Our focus is on growing our renewable energy portfolio, with a target to add additional renewable energy capacity
every year, while maintaining a strong presence in the thermal power market. We aim to be strategic in terms of
our new bids and investments, and choose the most viable option with adequate capital returns. We differentiate
the performance of our wind assets by leveraging our in-house development capabilities and aim to grow our wind
power business organically. We believe that our operating expertise in the wind and solar power sectors
differentiates us from other players, and we plan to derive higher returns on investment with continued innovation.
We intend to pursue a structured approach to expand our power generation capacity by capitalizing on our
strengths and exploring synergies with our existing businesses for profitability and diversification of our risks.
We aim to continue capitalizing on opportunities offered by India’s large and fast-growing electricity market and
realizing benefits from the fiscal incentives provided by the GoI to support development of renewable energy
generation. We bid for strategically located assets with strong wind resources to cater to morning and evening
peaks, and strong solar resources to cater to the rest of the demand. While we have the ability to develop both
solar and wind power portfolios, we intend to tap our solar power capabilities opportunistically and explore
expanding our solar power portfolio through either organic developments or strategic acquisitions. As energy
storage and ancillary service technologies become viable in India, we intend to actively pursue opportunities in
these areas as well.
For our thermal power business, we seek to contract a majority of our total thermal capacity under long-term PPAs
with state DISCOMs that are rapidly growing and in states with good credit record. We plan to keep the remaining
127
thermal power capacity available for short-term PPAs and for trading on the spot market, to leverage additional
thermal opportunities and benefit from higher tariffs.
We aim to continue deploying cost efficiency measures in our operations and improve our capital structure. We
expect to benefit from the Corporate Reorganization in terms of operational synergies, as our thermal power assets
are located in the same complex, and benefit from a simplified corporate structure with the consolidation of our
renewable energy portfolio under our Company. We are working towards co-locating our solar assets with our
wind substations to deliver combined wind and solar PLFs with low capital and operational expenditure through
the sharing of transmission and other common infrastructure. We also plan to pursue repowering existing wind
sites with superior turbines to increase PLFs. Similar to the approach followed for our thermal assets, we are
working towards shifting our O&M and engineering, procurement and construction operations for our wind assets
in-house, which will allow us to better leverage expertise within the Sembcorp group in order to reduce our
dependence on the turnkey approach. The complex within which our thermal power assets are located has surplus
land available for expanding our operations in the future which can potentially cater to additional demand. Nellore
has also been recently announced as the location for a national Coastal Employment Zone. This is likely to result
in local opportunities for power, water treatment and other utilities.
We plan to tap on four new growth opportunities - advanced distribution and storage solutions, in-house O&M
practices, water and wastewater recycling and centralized utilities. We aim to leverage the Sembcorp group’s
expertise and experience to further integrate into the utility sector and become a multi-utility power company. For
example, on Jurong Island in Singapore, the Sembcorp group leverages its island-wide infrastructure to provide
bundled energy and water solutions as well as on-site logistics to refining, chemicals and petrochemicals
customers. By outsourcing their operations to SCI, customers are able to lower their upfront capital investment
and focus on their core businesses.
We aim to support our operations with sufficient funding obtained in a timely fashion while managing an efficient
capital structure, with our debt level contained within predefined thresholds. Through thorough fiscal planning
procedures, we seek to mitigate interest rate risks and maintain long-term financing at optimum levels. We also
expect to finance part of our under-construction assets using accruals from our operational assets.
We enter into long-term PPAs with creditworthy counterparties, including government agencies and independent
commercial businesses, along with trading on the spot market to benefit from increases in merchant tariffs. Our
operating expertise and group strengths will enable us to optimize the operating performance of our assets
continually, thereby minimizing O&M costs. We aim to continue adopting disciplined bidding practices to ensure
that each asset is able to meet the equity return thresholds on a standalone basis. For this, we expect to leverage
our management’s and the Sembcorp group’s expertise to maximize operating performance through asset
optimizations and minimizing capital expenditure.
We intend to look continuously for opportunities to refinance our assets to reduce the cost of debt and extend our
debt maturities. Our scale and operating track record will help us achieve sustainable funding with low financing
costs. We will continue to manage an efficient capital structure, with the future capital requirements of our growth
projects funded through operating cash flows from our thermal and renewable power business after servicing
existing debt and external financing.
Our power portfolio comprises two operational thermal power assets, three operational solar power assets and 34
wind power assets which include two wind power assets that are under construction. The table below presents a

We own and operate the SEIL Power Plant. The SEIL Power Plant is a supercritical thermal power generation
asset located in Pynampuram and Nelaturu villages in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The SEIL
129
Power Plant comprises two power generation units, each with an installed power generation capacity of 660.00
MW. The first unit commenced commercial operations in March 2015, and the second unit commenced
commercial operations in September 2015. The SEIL Power Plant is located on approximately 1,508.80 acres of
land partly owned by us and partly leased by Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited.
For Fiscal 2017 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the SEIL Power Plant operated at a PLF of
78.35% and 85.43%, respectively.
We received the ‘Mega Power Project’ status from the MoP, GoI in January 2017 for the SEIL Power Plant. The
benefits available under the Mega Power Policy include exemption from payment of customs duty for import of
capital equipment for the SEIL Power Plant, exemption from payment of excise duty for domestic procurements
and deemed export benefits. Specifically, out of bank guarantees of ₹7,830 million submitted to custom authorities
as security for duty-free imports of equipment, ₹7,224 million was returned to us.
SCU provides certain operational, managerial and technical services at the SEIL Power Plant under the terms of
the technical services agreement effective from February 11, 2011. For further details, see “Promoter and
Promoter Group – Interests of our Promoter” on page 185.
The SEIL Power Plant is designed to utilize domestic and imported coal for its operations in the proportion of
70% and 30%, respectively and sources its total coal requirement from domestic and international suppliers.
Domestic coal: On June 22, 2013, we signed an FSA with MCL for the supply of 4.27 MTPA of coal, which
constitutes 70% of our total coal requirement, to the SEIL Power Plant for a period of 20 years. The price of
coal under the FSA consists of a notified base price and other charges, including transportation charges,
sizing, crushing, rapid loading charges and statutory charges. If the quantity of coal delivered falls below the
set threshold level under the FSA, MCL is required to pay compensation to us for such shortfall in accordance
with the FSA. Further, in the event that we purchase less coal than the threshold contracted quantity of coal
from MCL, we will be required to compensate MCL for the shortfall under the FSA.
Imported coal: We entered into a coal sales and purchase agreement (“CSPA”) with Bayan dated February
23, 2012 for the supply of 1.06 MTPA of imported coal to the SEIL Power Plant from a mine controlled by
Bayan in Indonesia over a period of 10 years, beginning on January 1, 2015. The CSPA may be terminated
if either party fails to perform its obligations under the contract or in certain other circumstances.
We rely on the railways to transport domestic coal from the MCL mines in Orissa to the Paradip Port in Odisha,
India. The coal is then shipped to the Krishnapatnam port, after which it is transferred to the SEIL Power Plant
through a closed pipe-conveyer-belt system. We also rely on the Krishnapatnam Port and the closed pipe-
conveyer-belt system for the transportation of our imported coal to our plant site. The SEIL Power Plant has
entered into a Port Services Agreement with Krishnapatnam Port on May 1, 2012 for handling coal for a period
of 15 years, extendable by another 10 years in blocks of five years. In addition, we have also entered into a
tripartite agreement with MCL and Coal India Limited dated August 6, 2013 pursuant to which MCL has agreed
to supply imported coal to the SEIL Power Plant if it is unable to supply domestic coal as per the contracted
quantities under the FSA.
The SEIL Power Plant primarily sources seawater from the Bay of Bengal. The SEIL Power Plant has a total water
requirement of 86 million cubic meters per year at a PLF of 85.00%. The water supply infrastructure for the SEIL
Power Plant consists of a pump house at the water intake point, pipelines to direct water to the RO plant and then
to the boiler.
We currently sell power to the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana DISCOMs under two long-term PPAs. We also
sell power generated at the SEIL Power Plant to state DISCOMs under short-term PPAs and on the spot market.
We sell 1,240.00 MW of capacity generated at the SEIL Power Plant after taking into account auxiliary
consumption.
500 MW PPA: We entered into a PPA for the supply of 500.00 MW (net) of power generated at the SEIL
Power Plant with Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited, Eastern Power Distribution
130
Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited, Southern Power Distribution Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited
and Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited on April 1, 2013, which was amended in
April 10, 2015 (the “500 MW PPA”). The 500 MW PPA has a term of 25 years from April 20, 2015. We
have agreed to supply 500.00 MW (net) of power generated at the SEIL Power Plant to the following state
DISCOMs at agreed contracted capacities:
The tariff payable under the 500 MW PPA comprises power charges, inland transportation charges and
capacity charges, which are both escalable and non-escalable in the proportion mentioned in the 500 MW
PPA. The escalable component of capacity and energy charges are revised every six months as per the
escalation rates published by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”). The SEIL Power Plant
is also eligible for incentives if our availability exceeds 85.00% of the aggregate contracted capacity in a
contracted year. A penalty of 20.00% may be levied against us for failure to maintain availability of at least
80.00%. Each party has the right to terminate the PPA upon the other party’s default. Events of default include
our failure to supply power to the 500 MW PPA Procurers up to the contracted capacity of 500.00 MW, our
failure to achieve normative capacity for 12 consecutive or non-consecutive months within a continuous
period of 36 months, and failure by our customers to purchase the contracted capacity of power.
570 MW PPA: We entered into a long-term PPA for the supply of 570.00 MW (net) of power generated at
the SEIL Power Plant with Southern Power DISCOM of Telangana Limited and Northern Power DISCOM
of Telangana Limited on February 18, 2016 with the (the “570 MW PPA”). The 570 MW PPA has a term
of eight years from March 30, 2016.
The tariff payable under the 570 MW PPA comprises fixed charges and fuel charges incurred by us for the
supply of electricity. The quoted fixed charge is paid for the first year of supply, which is revised annually
based on the wholesale price index as per the terms of PPA. Fuel charges are pass through under the 570
MW PPA. In addition, the SEIL Power Plant is eligible for incentives if the plant availability exceeds 90.00%
of the contracted capacity in a contracted year. Each party has the right to terminate the PPA upon the other
party’s default. Events of default include our failure to supply power to the relevant procurers of up to the
contracted capacity, our failure to achieve normative capacity and failure by the relevant procurers to
purchase the contracted capacity of power.
Short-term PPA and spot market sales: The remaining capacity of 170.00 MW is sold on a short-term basis
including on the spot market. These PPAs generally have a term ranging from a few days to three year. For
example, we recently procured a letter of intent to supply 165.00 MW of power generated at the SEIL Power
Plant to Uttar Pradesh Corporation Limited (“UPCL”) on a short-term basis for four months.
Under the terms of the 500 MW PPA and the 570 MW PPA, a substantial portion of our coal cost is recoverable
as it is either passed through to our customers or recoverable in the form of fuel cost escalation under the long-
term PPAs. As a result, we are not exposed to significant risks relating to coal price fluctuations.
Operating equipment for thermal power assets primarily consists of steam generators, steam turbines, boilers,
condensing equipment and heaters. Power is transmitted through a dedicated 400.00 KV double circuit
transmission line owned by PGCIL. We entered into a transmission agreement for the evacuation and dispatch of
power in the southern and western regions of India with PGCIL on December 24, 2010 for a period of 30 years.
Our current evacuation arrangement with PGCIL is sufficient for evacuating power generated at the SEIL Power
Plant.
131
Asset financing
For the SEIL Power Plant, we entered into a rupee term loan and working capital agreements with a consortium
of lenders for financing, construction costs and the operations of the SEIL Power Plant. As of December 31,
2017, we had a total indebtedness of ₹ 74,513.74 million outstanding for the SEIL Power Plant.
The SGPL Power Plant is a supercritical thermal power generation project with an installed power generation
capacity of 1,320 MW. The asset is located at the Varakavipudi and Ananthapuram villages near the Nellore
district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The SGPL Power Plant comprises two power generation units, each with an
installed power generation capacity of 660.00 MW. The first unit commenced commercial operations in
November 2016, and the second unit commenced commercial operations in February 2017. The SGPL Power
Plant is located on 1,255 acres of land of which, 1,216.88 acres is owned by us. For the nine months ended
December 31, 2017 the SGPL Power Plant operated at a PLF of 75.63%.
We received provisional ‘Mega Power Project’ status from the MoP, GoI on April 24, 2012 for the SGPL Power
Plant. As a result, we were exempt from providing a bank guarantee. The benefits available under the Mega Power
Policy include exemption from payment of customs duty for import of capital equipment for our thermal power
assets and deemed export benefits. We expect to receive the final ‘Mega Power Project’ status for the SGPL Power
Plant once we contract at least 85.00% of our thermal power capacity generated at the SGPL Power Plant under
long-term PPAs.
The SGPL Power Plant is designed to utilize domestic and imported coal for its operations.
Domestic coal: On November 18, 2017, we signed an FSA with MCL for the supply of 4.27 MTPA of coal,
which constitutes 70.00% of our total coal requirement, to the SGPL Power Plant for a period of 20 years.
The price of coal under the FSA consists of a notified base price and other charges, including transportation
charges, sizing, crushing and rapid loading charges. If the quantity of coal delivered for any given year falls
below the set threshold level under the FSA, the supplier must pay compensation to us for such shortfall in
accordance with the FSA. Further, in the event that the level of lifting falls below the threshold contracted
quantity of coal from the supplier, we will be required to compensate the supplier for the shortfall in terms of
the FSA. The FSA will be effective only after we execute a long-term PPA for the sale of power generated at
the SGPL Power Plant.
Imported coal: We currently source imported coal from international suppliers based in Indonesia and South
Africa on short- and medium-term contract basis.
Like the SEIL Power Plant, we intend to rely on the Indian Railways to transport domestic coal from the
MCL mines in Orissa to the Paradip Port in Odisha, India. The coal will then be shipped to the Krishnapatnam
port, after which it is transferred to SGPL Power Plant through a closed pipe-conveyer-belt system. We rely
on the Krishnapatnam Port and the closed pipe-conveyer-belt system for the transportation of our imported
coal to our plant site.
The SGPL Power Plant primarily sources seawater from the Bay of Bengal. The SGPL Power Plant has a total
water requirement of 119 million cubic meters per year at a PLF of 85.00%. The water supply infrastructure for
the SGPL Power Plant consists of a pump house at the water intake point, pipelines to direct water to the RO plant
and then to the boiler.
We currently sell power to Power Company of Karnataka Limited under two short-term PPAs and intend to supply
power to the remaining customers listed below in Fiscal 2018. The tariff under these PPAs are generally fixed.

Operating equipment for thermal power assets primarily consists of steam generators, steam turbines, boilers,
condensing equipment and heaters. Power is evacuated through a dedicated 400.00 KV double circuit transmission
line owned by PGCIL. We entered into a transmission agreement with PGCIL on June 28, 2012 and for a period
of 25 years. The transmission line from the SGPL Power Plant runs between the SGPL Switch Yard and Nellore
Pooling station of PGCIL.
Asset financing
For the SGPL Power Plant, we entered into a rupee term loan and working capital agreements and availed bank
guarantees from a consortium of lenders for financing the cost of construction and operations of the SGPL Power
Plant. We also received proceeds from SCI through the Masala Bonds issuance in tranches between December
2016 and April 2017, which was used primarily to refinance our project loans. As of December 31, 2017, we
had a total indebtedness of ₹ 90,177.30 million outstanding for the SGPL Power Plant.
Our success depends on our ability to achieve operational efficiencies and high availability at our thermal power
plants. We place a high level of importance on maximizing the operational performance and availability of the
thermal power plants. The O&M of the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant are generally undertaken by
our in-house technical team of engineers. We have built a team of experienced and qualified engineers and
technicians to carry out the operations of the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant. In addition to the roles
played by our technical team, our operations and efficiency improvement group monitors and optimizes the
efficiency of our operations, while our maintenance-planning group monitors and optimizes the efficiency of our
maintenance management.
As a part of our operational strategy, we continually monitor the latest technological improvements for power
plant systems. We usually undertake pilot tests for operational improvements, and if feasible, proceed to
implement plant improvement projects. Plant improvement projects are usually aimed at improving operational
efficiency or reducing coal or fuel oil consumption, both of which directly impact our profitability. As a part of
overall efficiency and predictability in operations, we have implemented leading process transformation tools that
will ensure safe and sustainable operations. We received a certificate of approval from Lloyd’s Register Quality
Assurance Limited on April 18, 2017 for the O&M of the two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant in
accordance with International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) and Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Series (“OHSAS”) standards.
We operate our wind power assets through SGIL, which we recently acquired. Our wind power assets are primarily
located in the states of Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil
Nadu in India. As of March 31, 2017, the hub weight of our WEGs generally stand between 74.50 meters and
106.00 meters high, with the generator ranging from 0.80 MW to 2.63 MW in capacity, and an average rotor
diameter that is typically between 53 meters and 114 meters. Each wind turbine has three blades, generally made
133
of reinforced fiberglass or another synthetic composite material, a casing that includes and covers the gearbox,
the generator and a supporting tower. The power generated by the rotor is transmitted to a generator, which
produces electric current, transforming the force of the wind into electrical power. The Central Wind projects that
are under construction will have WEGs that will stand up to 120.00 meters high with generator capacity of up to
2.10 MW and a rotor diameter of up to 111.00 meters.

Off-take arrangements
In Fiscal 2017, we sold all of the power generated from our wind power assets to state DISCOMs though our feed-
in tariff PPAs, and to group captive customers pursuant to group captive PPAs. The initial term of these PPAs
generally ranges from three to 25 years, typically with an option to renew upon expiry of the initial term.
PPAs based on feed-in tariffs provide us with assured revenue and off-take through the tenure of the PPA with
state DISCOMs. Feed-in tariffs are generally fixed tariffs set by State Electricity Regulatory Commission
(“SERC”) for the life of the PPA. Customers may enter into PPAs with us pursuant to orders issued by the relevant
SERC. PPAs based on feed-in tariffs provide greater downside protection and do not adjust for inflation as they
are fixed tariffs.
We also sell power on a group captive basis. Under the group captive scheme a procurer develops a power plant
for collective usage by other commercial consumers. A power project is considered 'captive' if entities consume
at least 51% of the power generated at the concerned power plant and owns at least 26% equity in the generating
units. Under the terms of the PPAs with our group captive customers, we are required to enter into agreements
with the local electricity board for the wheeling and banking of power from the delivery point to the end user. To
the extent that a customer does not consume its contracted electricity, any electricity generated by us in excess of
the shortfall in consumption is banked with the electricity board to the customer’s account which can be utilized
within the same fiscal year. Wheeling charges are usually borne by us and banking charges and all other charges
are typically borne by the customer, although this arrangement may vary from customer to customer. In case of
group captive customers, the customer must consume the minimum consumption obligation of the electricity
contracted with us as per the PPA at the end of every fiscal year and no carry-forward to the next fiscal year is
permitted. These PPAs may be terminated upon certain events of default following a minimum notice period of
15 days to three months. Tariff under our PPAs with group captive customers is generally fixed, however if certain
portion of our contracted capacity is not purchased by the concerned group captive customer, the unpurchased
capacity may be sold based on the average pooled purchase (“APPC”) tariff which is generally variable.
We also enter into shareholder agreements with group captive customers, under which such customers subscribe
to equity shares of the subsidiary that owns and operates the respective asset. Each such customer is restricted
from transferring the equity shares during the term specified under the agreement. While our customers subscribe
to equity shares of the subsidiary, we typically fund the subsidiary through a mix of equity shares and preference
shares.

O&M agreements
We generally subcontract the O&M services for our wind power assets to third-party providers, who are usually
the WEG suppliers of the asset. The O&M agreements are typically effective from the commissioning date of the
first or last WEG and are usually valid for a period of five to 10 years. These agreements may be terminated upon
certain events of default following a minimum notice period ranging from 30 days to three months. Most O&M
agreements contain options to renew once the initial term expires. We pay annual fees to our contractors, which
typically increase by 5.00% per annum. Our O&M agreements generally provide for a period ranging from one
to four years following the commissioning date during which our contractors provide O&M services free of cost.
O&M expenses for our wind power assets during the first few years of their operations are typically not material.
The services provided by the O&M contractor include coordinating with the state electricity board, patrolling the
asset grounds, providing management services such as data logging for power generation and ensuring the internal
grid availability and machine availability through regular scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and preparing
and submitting a monthly performance report. Technical services are also provided and these include preventive,
routine and corrective maintenance of WEGs, inspecting the power generating equipment and checking the
technical safety and operational parameters of the equipment. The O&M contractors typically extend warranties
and guarantees with regard to the performance of the WEGs and compensate us for any shortfalls in machine
availability, subject to an annual monetary limit, which is typically a percentage of the annual fees. For many of
our wind power assets, we have entered into agreements with the WEG suppliers to provide power evacuation
infrastructure and access to our assets.
As per our PPAs with group captive customers, we enter into wheeling and banking agreements with the state
electricity boards for the wheeling of power from the delivery point to the user member and banking of excess
power. We are required to pay an open access fee and other charges notified by the relevant electricity commission.
We have various technical obligations under such agreements and are also required to comply with safety and
other regulations. These wheeling and banking agreements are typically valid for a period ranging from five to 20
years. Generally, these agreements may be terminated, among other reasons, upon certain events of default
following a minimum notice period of three months.
We currently have two wind power assets under construction with a capacity of approximately 250 MW each,
both of which are being constructed on a turnkey basis. As per the LoI for these projects, we expect to receive a
tariff of ₹3.46 per unit and ₹2.65 per unit, respectively. The first 249.90 MW wind project incurred a project cost
of ₹77.27 million per MW and had a debt to equity ratio of 75:25. With respect to the first wind power asset, we
have entered into a long-term PPA for a period of 25 years with PTC India Limited, which will be effective once
the project is commissioned. Similarly, with respect to the second wind asset we have entered into a long-term
PPA for a period of 25 years with SECI, which will be effective once the project is commissioned.
137
We have been informed by SECI that we have won an additional 0.30 GW of wind power capacity in the third
SECI wind bid conducted in February 2018, taking our overall power generation capacity to approximately 4.37
GW.
Under the relevant EPC contracts, we have engaged our WEG suppliers to supply the requisite equipment, provide
civil and electrical works, install towers and transformers, assist with the plant materials, undertake work related
to substation and transmission lines connectivity, commission the WEGs and facilitate land and shared services
for setting up the wind power assets. The WEG suppliers also procure all necessary approvals and licenses from
the relevant authorities to develop the asset. Under such agreements, if the commissioning of an asset is delayed
and the delay is attributable to the WEG supplier, we are entitled to receive liquidated damages from the WEG
supplier (subject to a maximum amount), typically calculated at a predetermined rate for every day or week by
which the asset commission date is delayed.
We have a management committee appointed by the Board that approves every new project proposal undertaken
by us. For the turnkey model, we analyze the asset proposal from the OEM supplier, which generally includes an
energy yield estimation report, site suitability report, on-site wind mast data, evacuation details and indicative
project cost. A preliminary assessment of OEM assumptions is carried out based on our experience and market
intelligence in the region. We then evaluate power evacuation feasibility and the available wind resource data in-
house based on our regional experience and with the help of our various software programs. We also conduct site
visits to inspect the area for possible environmental and community issues, to understand the on-site details, and
any possible project execution issues. After negotiating the preliminary commercials with the counterparty and
accounting for all the information related to wind resource, evacuation and execution, if the project looks viable,
our management committee grants its approval to the commission agencies to undertake third-party wind resource
assessment and any other required studies including power flow analysis. Various diligence exercises and studies
are conducted by external agencies based on raw wind data from the contractor, from neighboring projects (if any)
and other required studies. A final evaluation is then carried out using relevant information gathered. On the
completion of such evaluation, our management committee gives the final approval or disapproval for undertaking
the project.
Our wind resource assessment is extensive and involves wind and meteorological studies carried out by reputable
independent wind resource consultants. We analyze data provided by our equipment suppliers and rely on satellite
data to corroborate and correlate the data from the on-site wind masts, for more accurate generation potential
estimation. We then evaluate grid connectivity options, which include load flow analysis, scenarios, assessing
distance to the nearest center/state owned substations and assessing the capacity of the substations to evacuate the
power produced. Our analysis also takes into account transportation access, ease of construction, availability and
ownership of land, environmental characteristics, capital cost, WEG size, wind conditions, climate, topography,
wind variability and proximity to areas of population density, airports and other location coordinates. We then
conduct a final financial evaluation to determine asset and equity rates of return, asset risk and potential
countermeasures based on negotiated project cost, sensitivity analysis based on realizable tariff, financing costs
and O&M costs.
Other than the turnkey model, we have recently managed the construction of the 80.00 MW asset in Karnataka,
in-house. Under this approach, we engaged with third parties for the development of the asset under our direct
supervision. We intend to continue managing the development of assets in-house, depending on market
requirements.
For a turnkey project, once a suitable site is identified and the necessary studies are complete, the land acquisition
process is initiated by the OEMs, under regular active involvement of our land team. In some states, forest or
revenue land may be available for long-term lease from the state government. Otherwise, freehold land is
purchased. Lender security interests, regulatory approvals and local registrations are key tasks undertaken for land
acquisition. For the turnkey model, we also finalize WEG supply arrangements on a comprehensive contract with
WEG suppliers for the supply of equipment, civil and electrical services, installation of towers and transformers,
assistance with plant materials, work related to substation and transmission lines connectivity, commissioning of
the WEGs and facilitation of land acquisition and other services for setting up wind power assets.
138
Construction and commissioning
Construction of a substation and laying of transmission lines is carried out concurrently with the erection of the
WEGs. Once functional, the commissioning certificates are obtained from the required authorities. For a wind
power project with a capacity of approximately 50.00 MW, it generally takes between six to 10 months from the
execution of the WEG supply agreement to commissioning of the plant, with the timelines contingent on the land
availability timelines for the project.
We operate our solar power assets through SGIL, which we recently acquired. We currently have three operational
solar power assets, located in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat in India, with an aggregate installed capacity of
35.00 MW.

Off-take agreements
We enter into long-term PPAs, typically for a period of 25 years from the date of commissioning of the solar
power asset with state DISCOMs and power trading companies for the supply of power generated at our solar
power assets. These PPAs may be renewed on mutual consent and we typically enter into these PPAs prior to the
commissioning of our solar power assets. Tariff under our PPAs for our solar power plants are generally fixed for
the term of the PPA.
O&M agreements
The O&M processes of 25.00 MW of our solar power capacity is undertaken by our in-house O&M team, and for
the remaining 10.00 MW of solar power capacity we have entered into O&M agreements with our EPC
contractors. We have built a team of experienced and qualified engineers and technicians to carry out the
operations of solar power assets. In addition to the roles played by our technical team, our operations and
efficiency improvement group monitors and optimizes the efficiency of our operations and our maintenance-
planning group monitors and optimizes the efficiency of our maintenance management. As a part of our
operational strategy, we continually monitor the latest technological improvements for power plant systems. We
usually undertake pilot tests for operational improvements, and if feasible, proceed to implement plant
improvement projects. As a part of overall efficiency and predictability in operations, we have implemented
leading process transformation tools that will ensure safe and sustainable operations.
139
The contracted O&M services with EPC contractors include providing daily generation data and real time data,
deploying skilled technical personnel at the solar power plant as well as liaising with the state electricity boards,
state pollution control boards and relevant governmental and local authorities. The contractor is also required to
provide preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance services. We pay annual fees to our contractor, which
typically increase by 5.0% per annum. The O&M agreements are typically valid for a period of 10 years with an
option to renew on expiry of the initial term.
We conduct site identification based on satellite radiation data of solar resource-rich states and commercial
considerations, such as capital costs, financial engineering and the power tariffs in a particular state. We conduct
a thorough analysis of the topography, climate, transportation facilities, electrical infrastructure, grid capacity,
horizontal and obstacle shading results, and land ownership status. We carry out a financial evaluation covering
key areas such as asset and equity rates of return, project risk and potential countermeasures based on project cost,
realizable tariff, financing costs and O&M costs. Land is generally bought from private owners or leased from the
state government and the relevant approval processes are initiated. Depending on the location of the land, we may
need to obtain a no-objection from the local authorities, and record the same with the local land registry, for
commercial use. Construction begins after the completion of the land acquisition and the EPC contractor processes
all necessary approvals and permits. The time required from the execution of the PPA to the commissioning of
each solar power asset is approximately 10 to 12 months. Once the asset is operational, commissioning certificates
from the state authorities are obtained.
Employees
We had 864 full-time employees as of December 31, 2017. The following table presents details of our employees
by function for the periods indicated:
We have a comprehensive code of business conduct (“COBC”) for all our employees. To assist employees to
understand the code of business conduct, e-learning courseware has been developed. The COBC sets our standard
of behavior expected from our employees in key areas, including fairness and opportunity, harassment,
information protection and insider trading, protection of company assets, integrity of information, political
contributions, competition and anti-trust laws, health, safety and environment. We received the ‘Best Management
Award’ from the Labor Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2016.
Environment
We are committed to the environment and adhere to the Sembcorp group’s global sustainability policy. The
principles of the sustainability policy are applied throughout our management systems and processes, and we
adopt a precautionary approach to avoid or minimize negative impact. We also ensure that our sustainability
policies are adequately adapted to meet local regulatory requirements on emissions and other environmental
matters in India. For example, we are in the process of implementing flue gas desulfurization units for our thermal
plants as guided by India’s new emission rules. In line with the Sembcorp group’s material issues, we are focused
on managing issues related to climate change, local environment protection and energy and water efficiency. We
have implemented numerous mechanisms to handle and utilize fly ash. To avoid the use of groundwater, we
desalinate seawater for our power generation processes and recirculate water for cooling purposes. We have also
minimized air pollution and reduced the load on the rail network by sourcing coal using the sea routes and through
a closed pipe-conveyor-belt system that transports coal from the Krishnapatnam port to our plant sites. We also
140
rely on supercritical technologies for our operations, as they are efficient with lower emissions compared to
subcritical technologies. We recognize the impact of climate change on the environment and endeavor to reduce
carbon emissions by applying control measures and technologies to enhance our operating performance and
efficiency. We also undertake due diligence in preventing discharges and releases, and provide timely and efficient
response if there is such an occurrence. We verify the effectiveness of our environmental management practices,
and focus on reduction at source. We continually monitor evolving policies around emission norms in India
especially in meeting India’s intended nationally determined contribution towards the reduction of carbon
emissions, and endeavor to support and be in compliance with all requirements. As part of our strategy and
response to climate risks and mitigation, we educate and encourage our employees and contractors to act
responsibly and be mindful of environmental protection.
We have implemented work safety measures and standards to ensure healthy and safe working conditions for all
the employees, contractors, visitors and customers at our asset sites. We have established a Health, Safety, Security
& Environment (“HSSE”) Department, which ensures compliance with applicable safety regulations and
measures. We endeavor to have integrated safety systems and emergency shutdown systems for all of our
operations to ensure the safe stoppage of the power generating units in abnormal conditions. As a part of our
continuous effort to build a safe workplace, we have rolled out the HEART (HSE Engagement and Reinforcement
Team) program at our plants to familiarize our department heads with the various challenges faced by our
operations team and enable them to take corrective measures. We also conduct external audits of our safety
mechanisms every year to comply with the rules under BS OHSAS ISO01:2007. We have received awards for
our safety and risk management initiatives, such as the Gold Award for excellence in Occupational Health and

KEY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN INDIA
The following is an overview of certain sector specific relevant laws and regulations in India which are applicable
to the operations of our Company and Subsidiaries. The information available in this section has been obtained
from publications available in public domain. The description of laws and regulations set out below may not be
exhaustive and is only intended to provide general information to the investors and are neither designed nor
intended to substitute for professional legal advice. The statements below are based on the current provisions of
the Indian law and the judicial, regulatory and administrative interpretations thereof, which are subject to change
or modification by subsequent legislative actions, regulatory, administrative, quasi-judicial, or judicial decisions.
The Electricity Act, 2003 (the “Electricity Act”) is the central legislation which covers, among others, generation,
transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity. Under the Electricity Act, the transmission, distribution
and trade of electricity are regulated activities that require licenses from the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission (“CERC”), the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (“SERCs”) or a joint commission
(constituted by an agreement entered into by two or more state governments or the central government in relation
to one or more state governments, as the case may be).
The generating company is required to establish, operate and maintain generating stations, tie-lines, sub-stations
and dedicated transmission lines. Further, the generating company may supply electricity to any licensee or even
directly to consumers, subject to availing open access to the transmission and distribution systems and payment
of transmission charges, including wheeling charges and open access charges, as may be determined by the
relevant electricity regulatory commission. In terms of the Electricity Act, open access means the non-
discriminatory provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution system or associated facilities with such
lines or system, by any licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations
specified by the relevant electricity regulatory commission.
Under the Electricity Act, the appropriate commission shall specify the terms and conditions for the determination
of tariff, and one of the guiding factors in doing so shall be the promotion of co-generation and generation of
electricity from renewable sources of energy. The SERCs under the Electricity Act are also required to promote
co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for
connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any person, and also specify, for purchase of electricity from
such sources, a percentage of the total consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution license. Pursuant to
the powers granted under the Electricity Act, various regulations and guidelines have been framed by the CERC
for determination of tariff, which include, among others, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms
and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2014 for determination of tariff for thermal power producers and the
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination from Renewable
Energy Sources) Regulations, 2017 for determination of tariff for renewable power producers. These regulations
are not applicable to the generating station or inter-state transmission system whose tariff is discovered through
tariff based competitive bidding in accordance with guidelines issued by the CERC.
The Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2014 was introduced to amend certain provisions of the Electricity Act. Among
others, the amendment empowers the GoI to establish and review a national renewable energy policy, tariff policy
and electricity policy. Further, the GoI may in consultation with the state governments, notify policies and adopt
measures for promotion of the national renewable energy fund, development of the renewable energy industry
and for effective implementation and enforcement of related measures.
The GoI approved the National Electricity Policy on February 12, 2005, in accordance with the provisions of the
Electricity Act.
The National Electricity Policy lays down the guidelines for development of the power sector, including renewable
energy, and aims to accelerate the development of power sector by providing supply of electricity to all areas and
protecting interests of consumers and other stakeholders. The National Electricity Policy provides that the SERCs
should specify appropriate tariffs in order to promote renewable energy, until renewable energy power producers
relying on non-conventional technologies can compete with conventional sources of energy. The SERCs are
required to specify, for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources, a percentage of the total
143
consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution licensee. Further, the SERCs are required to ensure
progressive increase in the share of generation of electricity from renewable energy sources and provide suitable
measures for connectivity with grid and sale of electricity to any person. Furthermore, the National Electricity
Policy provides that such purchase of electricity by distribution companies should be through a competitive
bidding process. The National Electricity Policy permits the SERCs to determine appropriate differential prices
for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy power producers, in order to promote renewable sources of
energy.
National Tariff Policy
The GoI notified the revised National Tariff Policy effective from January 28, 2016. Among others, the National
Tariff Policy seeks to ensure availability of electricity to consumers at reasonable and competitive rates, financial
viability of the sector and attract investments and promote generation of electricity from renewable sources. The
National Tariff Policy mandates that SERCs must reserve a minimum percentage for purchase of solar and wind
energy. Further, the National Tariff Policy also provides exemption of inter-state transmission charges and losses
for electricity generated from solar and wind energy sources.
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2014
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2014 (the “CERC
Tariff Regulations”) applies in all cases where tariff for a generating station or a unit thereof and a transmission
system or an element thereof including communication system used for inter-state transmission of electricity is
required to be determined by the CERC.
The tariff for supply of electricity from a thermal generating station shall comprise two parts, namely, capacity
charge (for recovery of annual fixed cost) and energy charge (for recovery of primary fuel cost and limestone cost
where applicable).
Tariff in respect of a generating station may be determined for the whole of the generating station or a stage or
unit or block of the generating station, and tariff for the transmission system may be determined for the whole of
the transmission system or the transmission line or sub-station or communication system forming part of
transmission system.
For the purpose of determination of tariff, the capital cost of the project may be broken up into stages, units,
blocks, transmission lines and sub-stations forming part of the project, if required, provided that where break-up
of the capital cost of the project for different stages or units or blocks and transmission lines or sub-stations is not
available and in case of on-going projects, the common facilities shall be apportioned on the basis of the installed
capacity of the units, line length and number of bays and that in relation to multi-purpose hydro schemes, with
irrigation, flood control and power components, the capital cost chargeable to the power component of the scheme
only shall be considered for determination of tariff.
The generating company may make an application for determination of tariff for new generating station or unit in
respect of the generating station or units within 180 days of anticipated date of commercial operation. The
transmission licensee may make an application for determination of tariff for new transmission system including
communication system or element in respect of transmission system or elements anticipated to be commissioned
within 180 days from date of filing the petition.
In case of the existing projects, the generating company or the transmission licensee, as the case may be, may be
allowed tariff by the Commission based on the admitted capital cost as on April 1, 2014 and projected additional
capital expenditure for the respective years of the tariff period 2014-15 to 2018-19, provided that in case of the
existing projects, the generating company or transmission licensee, as the case may be, shall continue to bill the
beneficiaries or the transmission customers/DICs with the tariff approved by the CERC and applicable as on
March 31, 2014 for the period starting from April 1, 2014 till approval of tariff by the CERC in accordance with
the CERC Tariff Regulations.
Mega Power Policy
The Mega Power Policy was originally introduced by Ministry of Power, GoI, on November 10, 1995 wherein
projects with capacity of 1,000 MW and more and providing power to more than one state were classified as mega
power projects. The policy has been subsequently amended several times and the conditions for grant of a mega
144
power status have been accordingly amended, including by way of the latest amendment dated September 21,
2017 (the “Mega Power Policy”). In terms of the Mega Power Policy, power projects with the following threshold
capacity are eligible for the benefit of mega power project status:
a thermal power plant with a capacity of 700 MW or more, located in the States of Jammu and Kashmir,
Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura; or
an hydroelectricity power plant of a capacity of 350 MW or more, located in the States of Jammu and
Kashmir, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura; or
Further, the power producer is required to tie up at least 65% of installed capacity/ net capacity through
competitive bidding and up to 35% of installed capacity/ net capacity under regulated tariff as per the specific
host state policy, as the case may be, approved by the respective regulators under long term power purchase
agreements entered into with the state DISCOMS or such other designated agency. Additionally, the benefits
under the Mega Power Policy are available to brownfield projects and provide that the threshold capacity of the
unit being developed pursuant to the brownfield is not less than that of the existing units at the time of grant of
the mega power status.
Zero Customs Duty: The import of capital equipment would be free of customs duty for these projects;
Deemed Export Benefits: Deemed export benefits are available to domestic bidders for projects both under
public and private sector on meeting certain requirements;
Goods required for setting up of any mega power project, qualify for the above fiscal benefits after the project is
certified that:
(i) the power purchasing states have granted to the regulatory commissions full powers to fix tariffs; and
(ii) the power purchasing states undertake, in principle, to privatize distribution in all cities, in that State, each
of which has a population of more than one million, within a period to be fixed by the Ministry of Power,
GoI.
Further, the mega power status is granted in two phases (i) provisional mega power status; and (ii) final mega
power status. The benefits can only be availed upon submission of provisional mega power status certificate along
with a fixed deposit receipt from any scheduled commercial bank as a security. The final mega power certificate
has to be obtained within 10 years of the date of import.
Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyla (Coal) Transparently in India
Coal linkage to the power sector is governed by provisions of the New Coal Distribution Policy, 2007 (the
“NCDP”). Under the NCDP, a system of issuance of letters of assurance was introduced wherein requests for
linkage or letters of assurance were forwarded to the Ministry of Power, GoI for its recommendations. These
recommendations are placed before the Standing Linkage Committee which authorizes the issue of LoA. Pursuant
to the Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyla (Coal) Transparently in India which was introduced on May
17, 2017 (“SHAKTI”), allocation of linkages for power sector will be based on auction of linkages or through
power purchase agreement based on competitive bidding of tariffs except for the state and the central power
generating companies and the exceptions provided in National Tariff Policy, 2016. Coal drawal will be permitted
against valid long term power purchase agreements and to be concluded medium term power purchase agreements.
The approved framework ensures that all projects with linkages are supplied coal as per their entitlement. This
will ensure the rights of coal supplies for holders of fuel supply agreements and signing of fuel supply agreements
with holders of letters of assurance.
145
i. Thermal power plants shall be eligible to sign fuel supply agreements after ensuring that the plants are
commissioned, respective milestones met, all specified conditions of the letters of assurance fulfilled
within specified timeframe and where nothing adverse is detected against the holders of letters of assurance
and the thermal power plants are commissioned before March 31, 2022;
ii. Thermal power plants, part of 78,000 MW, that could not be commissioned by March 31, 2015 shall now
be eligible for coal drawal if the plants are commissioned before March 31, 2022;
iii. Actual coal supplies to all thermal power plants shall be to the extent of long term power purchase
agreements and to be concluded medium term power purchase agreements;
iv. Future coal linkages shall be granted on auction basis for independent power producers who have signed
power purchase agreements based on domestic coal. The independent power producers participating in
auction will bid for discount on the existing tariff. The discount on tariff would be adjusted from the gross
amount of bill at the time of billing. The future coal linkages for supply of coal to independent power
producers who have not signed power purchase agreements shall be on the basis of auction where bidding
for linkage shall be done over the notified price of coal. The letter of assurance shall be issued to the
successful bidders and fuel supply agreement signed after meeting the terms of letter of assurance. Coal
linkages, for independent power producers who have signed power purchase agreements based on imported
coal, shall be made available through a transparent bidding process.
The Environment Impact Assessment Notification S.O. 1533(E), 2006 (the “EIA Notification”) issued under the
Environment Protection Act, 1986 and the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, as amended, provides that the
prior approval of the MoEF, GoI, or State Environment Impact Assessment Authority, as the case may be, is
required for the establishment of any new project and for the expansion or modernisation of existing projects
specified in the EIA Notification. The EIA Notification states that obtaining of prior environmental clearance for
new projects includes a maximum of four stages, i.e., screening, scoping, public consultation and appraisal.
An application for environmental clearance is made after the identification of prospective site(s) for the project
and/or activities to which the application relates but before commencing any construction activity, or preparation
of land, at the site by the applicant. Certain projects which require approval from the State Environment Impact
Assessment Authority may not require an Environment Impact Assessment Report. For projects that require
preparation of an Environment Impact Assessment Report public consultation involving both public hearing and
written response is conducted by the state pollution control board. The appropriate authority makes an appraisal
of the project only after a final Environment Impact Assessment report is submitted addressing the questions
raised in the public consultation process.
The prior environmental clearance granted for a project or activity is valid for a period of ten years in the case of
river valley projects, project life as estimated by Expert Appraisal Committee or State Level Expert Appraisal
Committee subject to a maximum of 30 years for mining projects and five years in the case of all other projects
and activities. This period of validity may be extended by the regulatory authority concerned by a maximum
period of five years.
C. SPECIFIC LAWS APPLICABLE TO GENERATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination from
Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2017
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has announced the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2017 (“Tariff
Regulations”), which prescribe the criteria that may be taken into consideration by the relevant electricity
regulatory commissions while determining the tariff for the sale of electricity generated from renewable energy
sources which include, among others, return on equity, interest on loan and working capital, operations and
maintenance expenses capital and depreciation. Accordingly, such tariff cannot be determined independently by
renewable energy power producers such as our Company. Pursuant to the National Tariff Policy, the CERC is
required to determine the rate of return on equity which may be adopted by the relevant electricity regulatory
commissions to determine the generic tariff, keeping in view the overall risk and prevalent cost of capital, which
146
factors are also to be taken into consideration by relevant electricity regulatory commissions while determining
the tariff rate.
The Tariff Regulations also provide the mechanism for sharing of carbon credits from approved clean
development mechanism projects between renewable energy power producers and the concerned beneficiaries.
Under the Tariff Regulations, the project developer is entitled to retain 100% of the gross proceeds on account of
clean development mechanism project benefit in the first year after the date of commercial operation of the
generating station. Subsequently, in the second year, the share of the beneficiaries will be then progressively
increased by 10% every year until it reaches 50% after which the clean development mechanism project proceeds
are to be shared equally between the generating company and the beneficiaries.
Guidelines for tariff based competitive bidding process for procurement of wind and solar power
The Ministry of Power has issued guidelines dated December 12, 2017 and August 3, 2017 for procurement of
wind and solar power, respectively through tariff based competitive bidding process including standardisation of
the process and defining of roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders (the “Competitive Bidding
Guidelines”). The Competitive Bidding Guidelines aim to enable the distribution licensees to procure wind power
at competitive rates in a cost effective manner.
The Competitive Bidding Guidelines are applicable for procurement of (i) wind power from grid-connected wind
power projects having (a) individual size of 5 MW and above at one site with minimum bid capacity of 25 MW
for intra-state projects, and (b) individual size of 50 MW and above at one site with minimum bid capacity of 50
MW for inter-state projects; and (ii) solar power projects having a size of 5 MW and above.
The Competitive Bidding Guidelines also make provisions for compensation for grid unavailability and backing-
down, robust payment security mechanism, standardisation of bidding process, risk-sharing framework between
various stakeholders through provisions like change in law, force majeure, and measures in case of default of
procurer as also by generator.
Renewable Purchase Obligations
The Electricity Act promotes the development of renewable sources of energy by requiring the relevant electricity
regulatory commission to ensure grid connectivity and the sale of electricity generated from renewable sources.
In addition, it requires the relevant electricity regulatory commission to specify, for the purchase of electricity
from renewable sources, a percentage of the total consumption of electricity within the area of a distribution
licensee, which are known as renewable purchase obligations (“RPOs”). Pursuant to this mandate, most of the
relevant electricity regulatory commission have specified solar and non-solar RPOs in their respective states. In
terms of the RPO regulations, RPOs are required to be met by obligated entities (that is, distribution licensees,
captive power plants and open access consumers) by purchasing renewable energy, either by entering into PPAs
with renewable energy power producers or by purchasing renewable energy certificates.
The RPO regulations require the obligated entities to purchase power from renewable energy power producers
such as our company. In the event of default by an obligated entity in any fiscal, the relevant electricity regulatory
commission may direct the obligated entity to deposit an amount determined by the relevant electricity regulatory
commission into a fund to be utilized for, among others, the purchase of renewable energy certificates.
Additionally, pursuant to the Electricity Act, a defaulting obligated entity may also be liable to pay penalty as
determined by the relevant electricity regulatory commission.
In May 2015, the Supreme Court of India upheld a regulation that made it compulsory for captive power plants
and open access consumers to purchase electricity to fulfil their RPOs. This landmark judgment is expected to
increase the demand for renewable energy by captive players and also improve the marketability of renewable
energy certificates in India.
Renewable Energy Certificate Mechanism
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for recognition and issuance of
Renewable Energy Certificate for Renewable Energy Generation) Regulations, 2010, were enacted to develop the
market in electricity from non-conventional energy sources by issuance of transferable and saleable credit
certificates (“REC Mechanism”). The REC Mechanism provides a market based instrument which can be traded
freely and provides means for fulfilment of RPOs by the distribution utilities/consumers. Under the REC
Regulations, there are two categories of certificates, i.e. solar certificates issued to eligible entities for generation
of electricity based on solar as renewable energy source and non-solar certificates issued to eligible entities for
147
generation of electricity based on renewable energy sources other than solar. The REC Regulations determine the
quantum of such certificates to be issued to the eligible entities and the method of dealing in the certificates.
The National Load Despatch Centre is the central agency which oversees the REC Mechanism, including, inter
alia, registration of eligible entities, issuance of certificates, maintaining and settling accounts in respect of
certificates, acting as repository of transactions in certificates and such related functions of the REC Mechanism
as may be assigned by the CERC. There are certain conditions which are now imposed on electricity generating
company, distribution licensee and captive generation plant to be eligible to apply for REC.
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2010
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2010, as amended
(the “IEGC Regulations”), provide for, inter alia, guidelines and standards to be followed by various persons in
the system for planning, developing, maintaining and operating the power system in the most secure, reliable,
economic and efficient, and facilitating competition in the generation and supply of electricity. The primary
objective is to facilitate large-scale grid integration of solar and wind generating stations and maintaining grid
stability and security.
In terms of the IEGC Regulations, wind and solar power generation companies are required to provide to the
concerned Regional Load Despatch Centre (“RLDC”), in a format as prescribed by RLDC, the technical
specifications at the beginning and whenever there is any change. The data relating to power system parameters
and weather related data as applicable is also required to be provided by such generators to the concerned RLDC
in real time. The wind and solar power generators which are regional entities along with the concerned RLDC are
required to forecast the quantum of power to be supplied. The wind and solar generators which are regional entities
will have the option of accepting the concerned RLDC’s forecast for preparing its schedule or provide the
concerned RLDC with a schedule based on its own forecast. Any commercial impact on account of deviation from
schedule based on the forecast chosen by the wind and solar generator has to be borne by it. The charges payable
for deviation from schedule by the wind and solar generators which are regional entities, are delinked from
frequency and accounted for and settled in accordance with the provisions of the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission (Deviation Settlement Mechanism and related matters) Regulations, 2014. Further, the schedule by
wind and solar generators which are regional entities (excluding collective transactions) may be revised by giving
advance notice to the concerned RLDC in the manner set out in the IEGC Regulations.
Our 20.0 MW and 5.0 MW solar power projects in Rajasthan are set up under the JNNSM.
148
D. STATE LAWS
Various states, from time to time, have announced administrative policies relating to wind and solar power projects
and the matters relating thereto. Typically these state policies are framed by nodal agencies responsible for
development of renewable energy and energy conservation in the respective states. These policies provide for,
among others, procedure and approvals required for setting up of wind and solar power projects within the state
and tariff rates applicable for sale of electricity from the wind and solar power plants. The tariff rates applicable
to the sale of electricity and transmission and wheeling charges to be paid by a licensee for transmission or
wheeling of power purchased by it are determined in accordance with the tariff orders issued by the respective
state electricity regulatory commission. These tariff orders are revised from time to time. Further, in certain
instances, as in the case of the applicable state policies in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, the state government
has the first right of refusal to purchase the electricity generated. These state-specific policies and regulations have
a material impact on our business because PPAs between project developers and state off-takers are entered into
in accordance with the relevant state policies and regulations. Accordingly, these PPAs are standard form contracts
and the project developers have no flexibility in negotiating the terms of such PPAs.
D. OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS
Real Property Laws
Transfer and development of real property in India is regulated under various law enacted by the GoI and the
respective State Governments. The general principles of transfer for real property are primarily codified under the
Transfer of Property Act, 1882, as amended (the “TP Act”), which is a central enactment. The TP Act in general
covers the various types of transfers relating to real property (such as sale, lease, and mortgage), validity of
restrictions and conditions imposed on transfers, rights and liabilities of transferors and transferees in real property
transactions, and creation of contingent and vested interests. The operation of the TP Act is further supplemented
by other central enactments such as the Indian Easements Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908 and the Right to
Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
The planning, development and use of real property is usually governed by local laws which differ from one state
to another. Usually, under these state laws, real property is categorised as residential, commercial, industrial or
agricultural. Property classified under a particular category can be used only for such specified purpose and any
variation in such use usually requires conversion permissions to be issued by the relevant town and country
planning authorities. Further, every state has its own set of laws, regulations and bye-laws governing planned
development and construction. In each state, the authorities usually governing building activities are the town and
country planning department, municipal corporations, and village gram panchayats. These authorities regulate the
issuance of consents and/or permits (such as commencement certificates, fire safety no objection certificates,
occupation certificates and completion certificates) for each stage of construction and development of real
property.
Other Provisions related to Land
The land used for setting up wind and solar power projects may be private land or Government-owned land
(revenue land or forest land).
Private land is purchased directly from the owners. In the event such land is agricultural land, it has to be converted
into non-agricultural land prior to acquiring/purchasing the land, if required by the Government. Additionally,
various State legislations relating to land ceiling, consolidation, fragmentation and holding of lands may be
applicable.
In case of revenue land, such land is made available to REPPs by state Governments on long-term leases based
on their respective policies. Such policies specify, inter alia, the duration of leases, the rent payable by REPPS,
restrictions on mortgage of leased land and a time period within which the power plant must be set up, failing
which the land will revert to the relevant State Government. For example, leases are typically granted in favour
of the REPP or the project developer (turnkey contractor) for a period of 30 years. The project developer
subsequently sub-leases or transfers the lease relating to the land to the REPP.
In case of forest land, the MoEF announced a special policy on May 14, 2004, which is periodically updated and
which elaborates the procedures and guidelines for diversion of the forest lands under the Forest (Conservation)
Act, 1980 for the purpose of establishing wind power projects. Pursuant to this policy, the initial lease is for a
period of 30 years. Further, the policy provides, inter alia, that:
149
Certain areas such as national parks and sanctuaries, areas of outstanding natural beauty, national heritage sites,
sites of archaeological importance and sites of special scientific interests and other important landscapes should
not be considered for wind power projects;
i. wind power projects are to be located at a safe distance from the aforementioned sites;
ii. the vane tips of the wind turbines are to be painted orange to avoid bird collisions;
iii. a safe distance of 300 metres is to be maintained between the WEGs and highways and village habitation;
iv. proposals for forest land required shall include land required for corridors between successive wind mills,
statutory buildings, earthing pits, transmission lines and roads including provisions for repose, breast
walls, drains, curvature etc. The proposals shall also include details of alternatives explored on non-forest
lands, employment generated, cost of electricity produced by wind energy, economic viability of the
project, etc.;
v. approximately 65-70% of the area leased out for the purposes of the development of wind power
projects shall be utilised for developing medicinal plant gardens, wherever feasible, by the forest

The Factories Act, 1948 (the “Factories Act”) defines a ‘factory’ to cover any premises which employs ten or
more workers on any day of the preceding twelve months and in which manufacturing process is carried on with
the aid of power or any premises where at least twenty workers are employed in a manufacturing process.
Each state government has enacted rules in respect of the prior submission of plans and its approval for the
establishment of factories and registration and licensing of factories. The Factories Act provides that an occupier
of a factory, i.e. the person who has ultimate control over the affairs of the factory and in the case of a company,
any one of the directors, must ensure the health, safety and welfare of all workers. There is a prohibition on
employing children below the age of fourteen years in a factory. The Factories Act also provides for imposition
of fines and imprisonment of the manager and occupier of the factory in case of any contravention of the provisions
of the Factories Act.
In addition to the Factories Act, the employment of workers, depending on the nature of activity, is regulated by
a wide variety of generally applicable labour laws. The following is an indicative list of labour laws which may
be applicable to the Company due to the nature of the business activities:
150
x. Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958; and
xi. Employees' Compensation Act, 1923.
Environmental laws
The projects and activities specified in the EIA Notification which are required to conduct environmental impact
assessments and obtain prior environmental clearance do not include wind power projects. Further, pursuant to a
notification dated May 13, 2011, the MoEF clarified that solar photovoltaic power projects are exempt from the
EIA Notification.
The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (“Air Act”), Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution)
Act, 1974 (“Water Act”), and the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement)
Rules, 2016 (“Hazardous Waste Rules”) aim to prevent, control and abate pollution. The Air Act stipulates that
no person shall, without prior written consent of the relevant state pollution control board, establish or operate
any industrial plant which emits air pollutants in an air pollution control area, as notified by the state pollution
control board. The Water Act aims to prevent and control water pollution and to maintain or restore water purity
and any person intending to establish any industry, operation or process or any treatment and disposal system
which is likely to discharge sewage or other pollution into a water body is required to obtain prior consent of the
relevant state pollution control board. The Hazardous Waste Rules regulate the management, treatment, storage
and disposal of hazardous waste by imposing an obligation on every occupier and operator of a facility generating
hazardous waste to obtain an approval from the relevant state pollution control board and to dispose of such waste
without harming the environment. The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 (“FCA”) read with Forest (Conservation)
Rules, 2003 aim to preserve forest land and provide for restriction on the deforestation of forests or use of forest
land for non-forest purpose and requires prior approval for use of forest land for any non-forest purpose. The
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 read with Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 aim to protect and improve
the environment and provide rules for prevention, control and abatement of environment pollution and impose
obligation for proper handling, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes.
In addition, we may be subject to certain other legislations, including the Aircraft Act, 1934, the Noise Pollution
(Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 and the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 2011.

In respect of the SEIL Power Plant, we faced a time overrun of approximately 12 months for various reasons, including
concerns regarding design parameters, interruption from the local public during the initial stages of the project, delay in the
sea water pump house works, delays on account of EPC contractor in engineering, procurement and mobilization. The
initial estimated scheduled commercial operations date for the SEIL Power Plant was September 30, 2014; however the
actual commercial operations dates were March 2, 2015 and September 15, 2015, for the Unit I and Unit II, respectively,
instead. As a consequence of such time overrun, we also faced a cost of overrun of ₹ 25,336.00 million.
In respect of the SGPL Power Plant, we faced a time overrun of approximately 16 months to start commercial operations
on account of delay in works by the EPC contractor. The initial estimated scheduled commercial operations for SGPL
Power Plant was in November 2015 and February 2016 for the Unit I and Unit II, respectively; however the actual
commercial operations dates were November 17, 2016 and February 21, 2017, for Unit I and Unit II, respectively. As a
consequence of such time overrun, we also faced a cost of overrun of ₹ 27,077.40 million.

Corporate Reorganization
In accordance with the Supplementary Agreement (as defined hereinafter), on February 15, 2018 our Company acquired
2,876,277,940 equity shares of SGPL, constituting 100% of its share capital (87.97% from our Promoter and 12.03% from
GEVPL and its nominees). In consideration of such transfers, our Company allotted an aggregate of 680,800,132 Equity
Shares to the transferors on February 15, 2018. Accordingly, SGPL which was previously a subsidiary of our Promoter,
SCU, is now a Subsidiary of our Company. Similarly, on February 15, 2018, our Company acquired 204,250,288 equity
shares of SGIL, constituting 71.57% of its share capital from our Promoter and its nominees, in consideration of which, our
Company allotted an aggregate of 1,887,955,813 Equity Shares to the transferors. Subsequently, on February 21, 2018, our
Company further acquired 81,144,899 equity shares of SGIL, constituting the remaining 28.43% of its equity share capital,
from IDFC Private Equity Fund III. Accordingly, SGIL, which was previously a subsidiary of our Promoter, SCU, is now

Proposed Merger
On February 19, 2018, both our Board and the board of directors of SGPL passed resolutions approving the merger of our
wholly owned subsidiary, SGPL, into our Company, such that, upon implementation of the Proposed Merger, the entire
undertakings of SGPL, including all its properties, assets, liabilities, reserves and surplus will be transferred to our Company
as a going concern and the equity shares held by our Company in SGPL (either held in its own name or through its
nominee(s)) will stand cancelled and extinguished in entirety (since our Company (itself and through its nominees) is
currently the only shareholder of the SGPL). Accordingly, implementation of the Proposed Merger will not result in any
change in the capital structure of our Company.
Our Company and SGPL are in the process of filing a scheme of merger with the National Company Law Tribunal in

SSSA, to record their mutual rights and obligations as shareholders of our Company. In accordance with the terms of the
SEIL SSSA, each shareholder of our Company is entitled to nominate a director on our Board for every 15% of the share

Shares were issued to our Promoter and GEVPL in the ratio agreed among the parties; and (ii) 71.57% stake in SGIL from
our Promoter, in lieu of which Equity Shares were issued to our Promoter in the agreed ratio.

following:
Items Measurement basis
Certain financial assets and liabilities Fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial
instruments)
Derivative instruments Fair value
Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined
benefit obligations.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting
estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
Impairment of investments:
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at amortised cost annually, or more
frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying
amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
211
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for
plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies
consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. These mortality tables tend to change only
at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on
expected future inflation rates.
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating
cycle;
ii) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii) it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
atleast 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as
non-current.
212
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i) it is expected to be settled in the Company’s operating cycle;
ii) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv) the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for atleast 12
months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its
settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include the current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are
classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or
cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
The cost of self-constructed item of removing property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials,
direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their
intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they
are located and capitalised borrowing costs.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and
non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of
bringing the item to its working condition for its intended used and estimated costs of dismantling and
removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful lives,
they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the
asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of
performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Company and its costs can be measured reliably. The
costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised as an expense when incurred.
213
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
iii. Disposals
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in
profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
iv. Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straight line method based on the useful life as
specified in Schedule II to the Act, except in case of plant and machinery where the estimated useful life has
been considered as 25 years, which the Management believes best represent based on internal assessment
where necessary, which is different from the useful life as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Act.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed
at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset
is ready for use (disposed of).
Assets whose acquisition cost is less than INR 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
G. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Intangible assets are
amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date they
are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of
factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the
stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures
required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortisation methods and useful lives are
reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. Expenditure incurred on acquisition of intangible
assets which are not ready to use at the reporting date is disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
Cost of software recognized as intangible asset, is amortised on straight line method over a period of legal
right to use or 3 years, whichever is less. Other intangible assets are amortised on straight line method over
the period of legal right to use or life of the related plant or asset, whichever is less.
H. Financial instruments
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other
financial assets and liabilities are recognised are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A Financial asset and liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through
profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
214
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for
contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value
through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date,
the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
i. Financial asset
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the
Company neither transfers no retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not
retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transaction whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains
either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not
derecognised.
215
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses following hierarchy and
assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date.
The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk
exposures.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently to initial recognition, derivatives are measured
at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss.
At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Company documents the risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also documents the economic relationship between
the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item
and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109,
is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through statement of profit and loss.
216
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs
are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial
recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting gains or
losses are included in statement of profit and loss.
I. Impairment
b. Non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever
there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an
individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those
from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (‘CGU’)
to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.

Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
J. Inventories
Inventories which comprise of fuel, stores and spares are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective
transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless it relates to a long term foreign currency monetary item.
Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate
prevalent at the date of the balance sheet. The resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement
of profit and loss unless it relates to a long term foreign currency monetary item.
Non-Monetary assets are recorded at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction
L. Employee benefits
Contributions payable to recognized provident funds, which are defined contribution schemes, are charged
to the statement of profit and loss.
Compensated absences:
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in
nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation
performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the
additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at
the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in
which the absences occur.
Bonus plans:
The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonus. The Company recognises a provision where
contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a contractual obligation.
218
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
M. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is
measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually
defined terms of payment.
Sales tax/ Value Added Tax (‘VAT’)/ Service tax/Goods and Service Tax (GST) is not received by the
Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity/service rendered
by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
Revenue from energy units sold as per the terms of the Power Purchase Agreements (‘PPA’) and Letter Of
Intent (‘LOI’) (collectively hereinafter referred to as ‘the PPAs’) is recognised on an accrual basis and
includes unbilled revenue accrued up to the end of the accounting year. Revenue from energy units sold on a
merchant basis is recognised in accordance with billings made to customers based on the units of energy
delivered and the rate agreed with the customers. Revenue/charges from unscheduled interchange for the
deviation in generation with respect to scheduled generation are recognized/ charged at rates notified by
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (‘CERC’) from time to time as revenue from sale of electricity
and adjusted with revenue from sale of electricity.
Revenue from electrical energy transmission charges is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with
the provisions of transmission service agreements.
The Company accounts for fuel and power purchase price adjustments, claims in case of change in law etc.,
as and when allowed by the regulatory authorities and truing-up adjustment claims as and when realized.
Claims for delayed payment charges and any other claims, which the Company is entitled to under the PPAs,
are accounted for in the year of acceptance by the customers.
Interest income is recognized based on effective interest rate method.
Dividend income is recognised when the unconditional right to receive the income is established.
N. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred. Costs in connection with the
borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the
statement of profit and loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for
qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to
construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the
cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the statement of profit and
loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted
for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
219
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
P. Leases
Assets taken on lease under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership are classified as finance leases. Assets taken on finance lease are initially capitalised at fair value
of the leased asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever
is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and reduction of the outstanding
liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases and recorded as
expense as and when the payments are made over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised
on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless the lease agreement explicitly states that increase is on
account of inflation in the statement of profit and loss.
Q. Income taxes
Tax expense (tax income) comprises current tax expense (current tax income) and deferred tax expense
(deferred tax income). Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate the tax amount expected to be paid or
received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income [Link] tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries
where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognised
directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not
recognised for:
Temporary differences on the the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
Temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent
that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable
entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or
their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
220
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Annexure A.V- Significant accounting policies (continued)
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of
future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it
has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate
recognition at that date, are recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances
change. The adjustment is either treated as a reduction in goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if
it was incurred during the measurement period or recognised in profit or loss.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the
Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases
where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company
does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the Restated Standalone Financial
Statements.

Non-adjusting items:
Emphasis of matter for the six months period ended 30 September 2017:
We draw attention to the Note 1.1 of the special purpose standalone Ind AS financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting and presentation and further
states that the comparative financial information has not been included in these financial statements. Only a complete set of financial statements together with
comparative financial information can provide a fair presentation of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company, profit (financial performance including
other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in equity. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Audit qualifications for the respective years, which do not require any adjustments in the Restated Standalone Financial Statements are as follows:

agreed to renew the lease for a further period on such mutually agreed terms and conditions. All the requirements of the agreement including the payment of consideration of Rs. 612.50 millions have been complied with by the
Company to purchase the land. The said consideration was paid on 12 November 2009 and the same has been considered as cost of land. The Company received legal advice on the delay and there has been no indication that
suggested that the delay in sale of land was not only administrative in nature and the said sale will happen in due course. Further, APIIC has also confirmed that it agrees to renew the lease for a further period on such mutually
agreed terms and conditions in the unlikely event that the sale is not completed then. Accordingly, the estimates of useful lives of assets is considered to be appropriate.

leg of the bond. The fair value of estimates is subject to a credit risk adjustment that
reflects the credit risk of the respective Company and its counterparty; this is
calculated based on credit spreads derived from current default swap or bond prices.
As part of the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management framework, treasury policies and financial authority limits are documented and reviewed
periodically. The policies set out the parameters for management of Company's liquidity, counterparty risk, foreign exchange and derivative transactions and
financing.
The Company utilises foreign exchange contracts, foreign exchange swaps, interest rate swaps, and various financial instruments to manage exposures to
interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operating and financing activities. All such transactions must involve underlying assets or liabilities and
no speculative transactions are allowed.
The financial authority limits seek to limit and mitigate transactional risks by setting out the threshold of approvals required for entering into contractual
obligations.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and prices will affect the Company’s income or the value
of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and reduce market risk exposures within acceptable
parameters.
i) Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rate environment relates mainly to its debt obligations.
The Company’s policy is to maintain an efficient and optimal interest cost structure using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts and long-term and short-
term borrowings.
The Company enters into cross currency interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility. In accordance with the Company's policy the
duration of such cross currency interest rate swaps must not exceed the tenure of the underlying debt.

The table below analyses the derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as of the balance sheet date.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer, employee or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet it contractual obligation leading to financial loss. The
Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade and other receivables) and from its financing activities, including short-term deposits with banks, and
other financial assets.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets as disclosed in note no 4A, 6 and 10 of Annexure [Link] represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
Trade receivables
The Company has exposure to credit risk from a limited customer group on account of specialised nature of business, i.e. sale of power. The Company ensures concentration of credit does
not significantly impair the financial assets since the customers to whom the exposure of credit is taken are well established and reputed undertakings which are sovereign backed and
other large corporates.
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to the customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a
customer is assessed based on their past performance. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and taken up on case to case basis.
The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with credit worthy counter parties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure and credit
worthiness of its customers are continuously monitored.
The credit risk for liquid funds and other current and non-current financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit
ratings and from group companies.
As at 30 September 2017, 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016 the Company has 2 customers, they owed to the Company more than 90% of the all trade receivable outstanding. The
Company has received revolving letter of credit from these two customers towards sale of electricity.

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset as they
fall due. The Company is exposed to this risk from its operating activities and financing activities. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible that it will
have sufficient liquidity to meet its liability when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's
reputation. Liquidity requirements are maintained within the credit facilities established and are adequate and available to the Company to meet its obligations.

Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
1. Company Overview
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited) (“the
Company”) was incorporated on 8 January 2008 as a public limited company. The Company has been
established for developing, constructing, commissioning, operating and maintaining a 1,320 megawatt coal
based thermal power plant at Pynampuram and Nelatur villages, Muthukur Mandal, Nellore District in the
state of Andhra Pradesh.
The Restated Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the years ended 31 March 2014 and 31

accounting and comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013,
read with Rules 4 to 6 of Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014 (“the Rules’) and
the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2009, as amended from time to time (“SEBI ICDR Regulations”).

260
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Significant accounting policies – The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the
periods presented in the restated standalone financial statements.
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
(a) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating
cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
(c) it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
(d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-
current.
Liabilities
Current liabilities include the current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are
classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash
equivalents.
The preparation of Restated Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the restated standalone financial statements and reported
amounts of revenue and expense for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to
accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
261
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost of fixed assets
comprises the purchase price, taxes, duties, freight and any other directly attributable costs of bringing the
assets to their working condition for their intended use. Borrowing costs directly attributable to construction
of those fixed assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are
capitalised.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of
fixed assets acquired but not ready for their intended use before such date are disclosed as capital work-in-
progress.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method ("SLM"). The rates of depreciation prescribed in
Schedule XIV to the Act are considered as minimum rates. If the Management's estimate of the useful life of a
fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the fixed asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review
is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the
Management's estimate of the useful life/ remaining useful life.
Pursuant to this policy, depreciation has been provided based on the following estimated useful lives of fixed
assets:
Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from up to the date the assets are purchased/ sold. Temporary
structures are fully depreciated in the year of construction. Individual assets costing less than INR 5,000 are
depreciated at 100% in the year of purchase.
Administration and general overhead expenses specifically attributable to construction of project are included
as part of cost of construction project and are allocated on a systematic basis to the cost of related assets.
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition. Intangible assets are amortised over
their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis from the date asset is available to the Company for its use.
Management estimates the useful life for software to be three years.
262
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the respective
transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date, are translated at
year-end rates. The resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Non-
monetary assets are recorded at the rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange difference arising
on settlement translation of long term foreign currency monetary items is adjusted to the carrying cost of
asset, where such monetary items relates to acquisition of depreciable assets.
Gratuity, which is a defined benefit scheme, is accrued based on an actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet
date, carried out by an independent actuary.
Contributions to the recognised provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the
statement of profit and loss.
Provision for long term compensated absences, which is a defined benefit scheme, is accrued based on an
actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary.
Income from interest on deposits and interest bearing securities is recognized on the time proportionate
method using the underlying interest rates.
Dividend income is recognised when the unconditional right to receive the income is established.
Borrowing costs that are attributable to construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost
of that asset. The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined as the actual borrowing
costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings. Other borrowing costs are recognised as expenditure in the year in which they are incurred.
The basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year
attributable to equity share holder (after deducting the preference dividend and attributable taxes) by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, net profit after tax for the year and the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity
shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
263
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
2.11 Leases
Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Such assets are capitalised at fair value of the asset taken on lease or present value of the
minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.
Leases that do not transfer substantially the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases
and recorded as expenses in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Current tax
The current charge for the income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations
applicable to the Company.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax charge or benefit reflects the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and
taxable income, which originate during the year but reverse after the tax holiday period. The deferred tax
charge or benefit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that
have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only
to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where there is
unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual
certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and written-
down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain to be realised.
The break-up of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date is arrived at after setting-off
deferred tax assets and liabilities where the Company has a legally enforceable right and an intention to set-
off assets against liabilities and where such assets and liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same
governing taxation laws.
The Company recognises a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of an obligating event that
probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that
may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the
obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised
when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a
present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
264
Sembcorp Energy India Limited (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited)
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that any assets forming part
of its cash generating units (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced
to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss
no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the reassessed recoverable
amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The
cash flows from revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

India Limited)
B. Principles of Consolidation
The Restated Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like
transactions and other events in similar circumstances. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
Restated Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those of previous year. The financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiary have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together
the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after eliminating intra-group balances,
intra-group transactions and the unrealised profits / losses, unless cost/revenue cannot be recovered.
The excess of cost to the Group of its investment in subsidiary, on the acquisition dates over and above the
Group’s share of equity in the subsidiary, is recognised as ‘Goodwill on Consolidation’ being an asset in the
Restated Consolidated Financial Statements. The said Goodwill is not amortised, however, it is tested for
impairment at each balance sheet date and the impairment loss, if any, is provided for. On the other hand,
where the share of equity in subsidiary as on date of investment is in excess of cost of investments of the
Group, it is recognised as ‘Capital Reserve’ and shown under the head ‘Reserves and Surplus’ in the Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Statements, are presented, to the extent possible, in the same format as
that adopted by the Company for its Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.
D. Basis of measurement
The Restated Consolidated Financial Statements has been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the
following:
Items Measurement basis
Certain financial assets and liabilities Fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial
instruments)
Derivative instruments Fair value
Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined
benefit obligations.
The preparation of these Restated Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with the recognition and
measurement principles of Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the Restated Consolidated Financial
Statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates
is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
296
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
Impairment of investments:
The Group reviews its carrying value of investments carried at amortised cost annually, or more frequently
when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the
impairment loss is accounted for.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for
plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies
consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. These mortality tables tend to change only at
interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on
expected future inflation rates.
297
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i) it is expected to be settled in the Group’s operating cycle;
ii) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv) the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for atleast 12 months after
the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by
the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include the current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are
classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash
equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
298
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful lives,
they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the
asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of
performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Group and its costs can be measured reliably. The costs of
day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised as an expense when incurred.
iii. Disposals
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit
or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
iv. Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straight line method based on the useful life as
specified in Schedule II to the Act, except in case of plant and machinery where the estimated useful life has
been considered as 25 years, which the Management believes best represent based on internal assessment
where necessary, which is different from the useful life as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Act.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is
ready for use (disposed of).
Assets whose acquisition cost is less than INR 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
When the use of a property changed from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified
as investment property at its carrying amount on the date of reclassification.
H. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Intangible assets are
amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date they are
available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors
including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of
the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain
the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortisation methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically
including at each financial year end. Expenditure incurred on acquisition of intangible assets which are not
ready to use at the reporting date is disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
Cost of software recognized as intangible asset, is amortised on straight line method over a period of legal right
to use or 3 years, whichever is less. Other intangible assets are amortised on straight line method over the
period of legal right to use or life of the related plant or asset, whichever is less.

I. Financial instruments
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other
financial assets and liabilities are recognised are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
A Financial asset and liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit
and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
The Group considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts
of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three
months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances
with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business
whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of
the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are
held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at
fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable
to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately
recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for
contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value
through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the
carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
i. Financial asset
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of
the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers
no retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial
asset.
If the Group enters into transaction whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either
all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not
derecognised.
The Group recognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or
expire.
The Group also derecognise a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the
modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is
recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and
the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses following hierarchy and assumptions
that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Restated Consolidated Financial
Statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.
301
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at
fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss.
At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and
strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged
item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging
instrument are expected to offset each other.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is
categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through statement of profit and loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are
recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition,
these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting gains or losses are included
in statement of profit and loss.
Where a derivative is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit
or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised directly in other
comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The ineffective portion of changes in
the fair values of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer
meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging
instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument
recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging
reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash
flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of
the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount
accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of profit and loss.
J. Impairment
The Group assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is
impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses (‘ECL’) to be measured through a loss allowance. The
Group recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not
constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an
amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit
losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
302
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
b. Non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever
there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an
individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from
other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (‘CGU’) to which
the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
K. Inventories
Inventories which comprise of fuel, stores and spares are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective
transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless it relates to a long term foreign currency monetary item.
Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate
prevalent at the date of the balance sheet. The resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss unless it relates to a long term foreign currency monetary item.
Non-Monetary assets are recorded at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction
M. Employee benefits
Gratuity, which is a defined benefit plan, is accrued based on an independent actuarial valuation, which is done
based on project unit credit method as at the balance sheet date. The Group recognizes the net obligation of a
defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of
the net defined benefit liability/(asset), which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized in other
comprehensive income. In accordance with Ind AS, re-measurement gains and losses on defined benefit plans
recognised in OCI are not be to be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Changes in the present value of
the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in
the profit and loss account as past service cost.
303
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
Contributions payable to recognized provident funds, which are defined contribution schemes, are charged to
the statement of profit and loss.
Compensated absences:
The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in
nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation
performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the
additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the
balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which
the absences occur.
Bonus plans:
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonus. The Group recognises a provision where
contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a contractual obligation.
N. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the
fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of
payment.
Sales tax/ Value Added Tax (‘VAT’)/ Service tax/ Goods and Service Tax (’GST’) is not received by the
Group on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity/service rendered by the
seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
Revenue from energy units sold as per the terms of the Power Purchase Agreements (‘PPA’) and Letter Of
Intent (‘LOI’) (collectively hereinafter referred to as ‘the PPAs’) is recognised on an accrual basis and includes
unbilled revenue accrued up to the end of the accounting year. Revenue from energy units sold on a merchant
basis is recognised in accordance with billings made to customers based on the units of energy delivered and
the rate agreed with the customers. Revenue/charges from unscheduled interchange for the deviation in
generation with respect to scheduled generation are recognized/ charged at rates notified by Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission (‘CERC’) from time to time as revenue from sale of electricity and adjusted with
revenue from sale of electricity.
Revenue from electrical energy transmission charges is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the
provisions of transmission service agreements.
The Group accounts for fuel and power purchase price adjustment, claims in case of change in law etc., as and
when allowed by the regulatory authorities and truing-up adjustment claims as and when realized.
Claims for delayed payment charges and any other claims, which the Group is entitled to under the PPAs, are
accounted for in the year of acceptance by the customers.
Dividend income is recognised when the unconditional right to receive the income is established.

India Limited)
O. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred. Costs in connection with the
borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the
statement of profit and loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying
assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the
qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of
borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the statement of profit and loss during extended periods when
active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
Q. Leases
Assets taken on lease under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Assets taken on finance lease are initially capitalised at fair value of the leased
asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease
payments are apportioned between the finance charge and reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance
charge is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases and recorded as
expense as and when the payments are made over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised on a
straight line basis over the lease term, unless the lease agreement explicitly states that increase is on account of
inflation in the statement of profit and loss.
R. Income taxes
Tax expense (tax income) comprises current tax expense (current tax income) and deferred tax expense
(deferred tax income). Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate the tax amount expected to be paid or received after
considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income [Link] tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the
Group operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in
equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
305
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not
recognised for:
Temporary differences on the the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
Temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent
that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised.
Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of
future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has
become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition
at that date, are recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances change. The
adjustment is either treated as a reduction in goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred
during the measurement period or recognised in profit or loss.
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as result of past
event and it is probable that an outflow of embodying economic benefits of resources will be required to settle
a reliably assessable obligation. Provisions are determined based on best estimate required to settle each
obligation at each balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
306
Sembcorp Energy India Limited and its subsidiary (formerly known as Thermal Powertech Corporation
India Limited)
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting obligations
under a contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received, are recognized when it is probable that
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result
of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a
present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that
cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognize a contingent
liability but discloses its existence in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit/ (loss) before tax is adjusted for the
effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows
from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.

Note: The above statement should be read together with significant accounting policies in Annexure V, restatement adjustments to audited consolidated financial
statements in Annexure VI and notes to the restated consolidated financial statements in Annexure VII.
Since the Company has provided excess depreciation upto the settlement date i.e. 21 November 2016, for the purpose of restated consolidated financial statements, the
Group has recomputed depreciation on revised PPE value from the financial year 2015-16 and the excess depreciation provided till date has been reversed in the restated
consolidated financial statements. Due to this treatment there is difference of INR 88.24 million in closing PPE value as per audited consolidated financial statements and
the restated consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2017 and the corresponding impact on retained earnings of the Group as at 30 September 2017.

Note: 1
The Company had entered into an agreement with Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Ltd. (‘APIIC’) for occupation of two tranches of land. One tranche of land was transferred to the Company as freehold land.
For the other tranche of land, admeasuring Acre 680.55cents, a lease deed for a period of 21 years was entered with APIIC on 25 November 2009. As per the lease deed, APIIC agreed to sell the land even during the subsistence of

fall due. The Group is exposed to this risk from its operating activities and financing activities. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible that it will have
sufficient liquidity to meet its liability when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's
reputation. Liquidity requirements are maintained within the credit facilities established and are adequate and available to the Group to meet its obligations.

SGPL’s FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying special purpose Ind AS financial statements of Sembcorp Gayatri Power
Limited (formerly NCC Power Projects Limited) (“the Company”), which comprise the special purpose
balance sheet as at 30 September 2017, the special purpose statement of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), the special purpose cash flow statement and special purpose statement of changes in
equity for the six months period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information (collectively referred to as the “special purpose Ind AS financial statements”).
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these special purpose Ind AS financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit of the special purpose Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the special purpose Ind AS financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the
special purpose Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the special purpose Ind AS financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the special purpose Ind AS financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made
by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the special purpose Ind AS financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the special purpose Ind AS financial statements.

Trade receivables
The Company has exposure to credit risk from a limited customer group on account of specialised nature of business, i.e. sale of power. The Company ensures
concentration of credit does not significantly impair the financial assets since the customers to whom the exposure of credit is taken are well established and reputed
undertakings which are sovereign backed and other large cooperates.
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to the customer credit risk management.
Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on their past performance. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and taken up on case to case basis.
The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure
and the creditworthiness of its customers are continuously monitored.
The credit risk for liquid funds and other current and non-current financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality
external credit ratings and from group companies.
As at 30 September 2017, the Company has 2 customers that owed the Company more than Rs. 68,000 lacs and accounted for approximately 93% of all the trade

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause
(i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SEMBCORP
GAYATRI POWER LIMITED (formerly NCC Power Projects Limited) (“the
Company”) as of 31st March, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the financial
statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy
of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system
over financial reporting.
385
M. Bhaskara Rao & Co. Deloitte
Haskins & Sells
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls,
material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to
future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial
reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to
us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial
reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2017, based on the internal control
over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India.

SEMBCORP GAYATRI POWER LIMITED (formerly NCC Power Projects Limited)
Notes forming part of the financial statements
1 Corporate Information
Sembcorp Gayatri Power Limited ( formerly NCC Power Projects Limited) ("The Company") was incorporated in the year 2008 with the
main objective of power generation and transmission. It is subsidiary of Sembcorp Utilities Pte limited, Singapore. The Company is
presently operating coal based thermal power project (2 units of 660 MW each) at Sri Potti Sri Ramulu (SPSR) Nellore District, Andhra
Pradesh, India. The commercial operations of 1 st Unit were declared on November 17, 2016 and 2 nd Unit on February 21, 2017. The
Company is in the process of entering into long term power purchase and fuel supply agreements.
Upto the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous
generally accepted accounting principles (“Previous GAAP”), which includes Accounting Standards (“AS”) notified under the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, as applicable and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the 2013 Act”)/ Companies Act, 1956 (“the 1956 Act”), as applicable.
Reconciliations and description of the effect of the transition to Ind AS from Indian GAAP is given in Note 37.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market
participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for
measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment
transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have
some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the
inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which
are described as follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly; and
391
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
2.3 Inventories
Inventories which comprise fuel, stores and spares are carried at the lower of the cost and net realisable value after providing for
obsolescence and other losses where considered necessary. Cost of Inventories comprises all cost of purchase and other cost incurred in
bringing inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used.
Project under which Tangible/Intangible assets are not yet ready for the intended use and other Capital work-in-progress are carried at cost,
comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable borrowing cost.
Property, plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable
value and are disclosed separately.
where cost of a part of the asset is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of the part is different from the useful life of the
remaining asset, Such assets is identified as separate component .
Assets under installation or under construction as at Balance Sheet date are shown as capital work–in–progress. Escalation costs, if any, for
construction of fixed assets is recognized upon receipt of claims and their acceptance by the Company.
Pre-operative expenditure incurred directly relating to construction activity is capitalized on completion of construction of project assets.
Indirect expenditure including borrowing cost is capitalized to the extent it is incidental to construction activity. Income earned from
borrowed funds during the construction period is reduced from the total of indirect expenditure. All other expenses are charged to Statement
of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the
continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as
the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised
as of 1 April 2015 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition
date.
For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognised as of April 1,
2015 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
Goodwill
Goodwill has indefinite useful life and tested for impairment annually.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided based on the useful life on Straight line method, provided in Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013,
except in respect of following category of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed based on technical assessment, taking
into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement,
anticipated technological changes, maintenance, etc.
Intangible Assets are amortised, on straight line method based on the useful life as assessed by the Management.
No depreciation is charged on capital work in progress and land.
392
2.5 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably
measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable,
taking into account contractually defined terms of payment.
Revenue from sale of electricity is accounted for on the basis of bills raised on customer as per the power purchase agreement /order
(collectively hereinafter referred to as ‘the PPAs’). Revenue/charges from unscheduled/uncommitted for the deviation in generation with
respect to scheduled/committed generation are recognized/charged as per the term of the agreement from time to time as revenue from sale
of electricity and adjusted with revenue from sale of electricity.
Revenue from electrical energy transmission charges is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the provisions owner purchase
agreement/order (collectively hereinafter referred to as ‘the PPAs’).
Revenue from sale of inventories is recognized on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.
Other Income
Dividend income from investments is recognised in the year in which the right to receive the payment is established.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount
of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset
to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign
currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary
items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that
are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on
transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.
The Company makes contributions to Provident Fund , at a specified percentage of the employees’ [Link] are charged as an expense
based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ‘Employee benefits expense’.
Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit
plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form reductions in
future contributions to the plans.
393
2.8 Taxes on Income
Current tax is determined based on the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the period / year as determined in accordance
with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 . Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the
statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never
taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of
the reporting period.
Deferred Tax - Deferred tax resulting from “timing differences” between book profit and taxable profit is accounted for using the tax rates
and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted as on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent
that there is a virtual certainty that such assets will be realized in future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets
are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their reliability.
2.12 Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the
lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Company's significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancelable in nature. The lease
rentals under such agreements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the terms of the lease.
Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals
are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases,
such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.
394
2.13 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss)
are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised
immediately in profit or loss.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the
classification of the financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for
debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets;
and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognizing foreign exchange gains and
losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortized
cost are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated under the heading of ‘Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income’. When the investment is
disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
395
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present
subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for investments in equity instruments which are not held for trading
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that
meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.
A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL
upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise
from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Company has not designated any
debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement
recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial
asset and is included in the ‘Other income’ line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company’s right to
receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend
does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably recognised in profit or
loss are included in the ‘Other income’ line item.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the
difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the
Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate
for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the
financial instrument through the expected life of that financial instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit
risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not
increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal
to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the
lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are
predicted over the next 12 months.
If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous period, but
determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in
credit quality as compared to the previous period, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit
losses.
When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company uses the
change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected
credit losses. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting
date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and
supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial
recognition.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the
scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18, the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical
expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into
account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.
The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally applied to debt instruments at FVTOCI
except that the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and is not reduced from the carrying amount in the balance
sheet.
396
Derecognition of financial assets :
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor
retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its
retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a
collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration
received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset
between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair
values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer
recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that
had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised
in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is
allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of
those parts.
• For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortized cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in
profit or loss except for those which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship
.
• Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are
recognised in other comprehensive income.
• For the purposes of recognizing foreign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at
amortized cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of
FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity
instruments issued by a company entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or
loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing
involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, and commitments issued by the Company to provide a
loan at below-market interest rate are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.
397
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either contingent consideration recognised by the Company as
an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies or is held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration recognised by the Company as an acquirer in
a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies, may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;
• the financial liability forms part of group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information
about the companying is provided internally on that basis; or
• It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be
designated as at FVTPL in accordance with Ind AS 109.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The
net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the ‘Other income' line
item.
However, for non-held-for-trading financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the
financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the
recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting
mismatch in profit or loss, in which case these effects of changes in credit risk are recognised in profit or loss. The remaining amount of
change in the fair value of liability is always recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit
risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are reflected immediately in retained earnings and are not subsequently reclassified
to profit or loss.
Gains or losses on financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments issued by the Company that are designated by the Company as at
fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of
subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are
determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset is included in the
'Finance costs' line item.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid
or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected
life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate
at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the
fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss.
398
2.14 Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to
their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative
is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the
hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in other
comprehensive income net of applicable deferred income taxes. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately
in the statement of income. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income remains there until the forecast
transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to
the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognized. In other cases the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to
profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument
expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to
occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in the other comprehensive income is transferred to statement of Profit or Loss.
2.15 Impairment
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset/cash generating unit may be impaired. If any
indication exists the Company estimates the recoverable amount of such assets and if carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount,
impairment is recognised. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
previously recognised impairment loss no longer exists or may have decreased such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the profit or
loss.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units (or groups of cash-generating
unit) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which Goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an
indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit
pro-rata based on the carrying amount of the each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for Goodwill is recognized directly in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. An impairment loss recognized for Goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed for (i) possible obligation which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of
the Company or (ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor
disclosed in the financial statements.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk
from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial
instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to the customer credit risk management. Credit
quality of a customer is assessed based on their past performance. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and taken up on case to case basis.
The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure and
the creditworthiness of its customers are continuously monitored.
The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal
financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal
financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at
March 31, 2016, based on “the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the
Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.

funds during the construction period is reduced from the total of indirect expenditure. All other expenses are charged to Statement of Profit and

Intangible Fixed Assets:
Intangible Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses if any . The Cost of intangible assets
comprises of its purchase price, duties, taxes etc., and any directly attributable expenditure on making the assets ready for its intended use.
Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase is recognized as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributable to the asset reliably, in which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided based on the useful life on Straight line method, provided in Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.
No depreciation is charged on capital work in progress and free hold land .

account of change in depreciation rates to the statement of profit and loss account.
2.5 Impairment of Assets
The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the
asset’s net selling price and value in use which is determined based on the estimated future cash flow discounted to their present values. An
impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

September 30, 2017
(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
2. Basis of preparation of financial statements
a) Statement of compliance
The Company’s management had previously issued its audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 on
September 18, 2017 that were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
notified under section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The Company’s management has prepared the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
which comprise the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at September 30, 2017, the
Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the Special Purpose Interim
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the six months period ended September 30, 2017 and a
summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as
‘Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements’ or ‘Financial Statements’).
These Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with
Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and the Companies (Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2016, and accordingly, all the disclosures as required under Ind AS have not been furnished in these
Consolidated Financial Statements. These Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are
prepared for the purpose of inclusion in the document to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(“SEBI”) in connection with the proposed Initial Public Offering ('IPO') of equity shares of the Thermal Powertech
Corporation India Limited (fellow subsidiary of the Company). Only a complete set of consolidated financial statements
together with comparative financial information can provide a fair presentation of the state of affairs (financial position)
of the Company, profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in
equity. The Company has followed the same accounting policies in preparation of these financial statements as those
followed in preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017.
The financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of Ind AS financial statements.
However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an
understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial
statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 2, 2018.
b) Basis of consolidation
The Group consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and its associates. Control exists
when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through
existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The difference between the cost of investment in subsidiaries to the Group and the proportionate share in the equity of
the investee Company as at the date of acquisition of stake is recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements as Goodwill or Capital Reserve, as the case may be. Goodwill arising on
consolidation is tested for impairment at the Balance Sheet date. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net
profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Group, are
excluded.

(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months period ended
September 30, 2017
(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
The financial statements of the companies under the Group are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group
balances and transactions including unrealised gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group.
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying
amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition
date. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
The Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (‘Rs.’ or
‘INR’) which is also the Group's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs of rupees
(upto two decimals), except where otherwise indicated.
d) Basis of measurement
The Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:
- Financial instruments comprising preference shares, debentures, mutual funds;
- Derivatives instruments i.e. cross currency swap, interest rate swaps and options
- Net defined benefit assets/liabilities;
The preparation of the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS
requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgements and assumptions
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from
period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as
management becomes aware of those estimates.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current on the basis of the following criteria:
Assets

(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months period ended

(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
Liabilities
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing/servicing and their realisation in cash or cash
equivalents.
Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-
current classification of assets and liabilities.
b) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised net of return and trade discounts to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate
collectability of revenue, recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.
Income from supply of power is recognised on the supply of units generated from the plant to the Grid, as per the terms
of the respective Power Purchase Agreements entered into with such user.
Income from unutilised banked power units at the end of the reporting period is recognised as per the terms of the
Wheeling Agreement entered into with the respective state electricity boards.
Unbilled revenue represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be realised from customers for supply of power and
services rendered up to the reporting date, and is measured as per the contractual terms under agreements entered with
the customers.
RECs are recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer, which
generally coincides with the delivery of RECs.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR). It is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated
future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross
carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash
flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.

September 30, 2017
(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established which is generally when
shareholders approves the dividend.
Claims
Claims i.e. late payment surcharges recoverable from customer, insurance claims and liquidated damages, are recognised
on acceptance or actual receipt of the claim, whichever is earlier, considering the uncertainty as to measurement or
ultimate collectability of revenue.
c) Finance costs
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, and accretion of interest on site restoration obligation.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Borrowing costs are capitalised since the property, plant and equipment takes a substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use.
Interest expense on borrowings is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that discounts the
estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to
the gross carrying amount of the financial assets. When calculating the EIR, the Group estimates the expected cash flows
by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.
d) Lease payments
At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement that contains a lease, the payments and other consideration required
by such an arrangement are separated into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative
fair values. If it is concluded for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset
and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. The liability is reduced as
payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to
increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. Lease
incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
e) Income taxes
Current tax
Current income tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment in respect of previous years. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted
as at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (OCI) or in
equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in OCI or directly in equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months period ended

(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid during the period is charged to the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The Group recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent
that there is reasonable evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e. the period for
which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognises MAT credit as an asset in
accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under
the Income Tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement”.
The Group reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the
Group does not have evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for temporary
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the Companies under the Group has
unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that there is
reasonable evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
At each reporting date, the Group re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax
asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and
the same taxation authority.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss i.e. either in other comprehensive income or in equity are
recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
loss, if any. The cost comprises its purchase price, freight, duties, borrowing cost, if capitalisation criteria are met, and
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bring the assets to its working condition for intended use. Any trade
discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct services, any other costs (net of tax credits, if
applicable) directly attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for their intended use, and the estimated
costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Tangible fixed assets under
construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress. Software that is integral to the functionality of the related
equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
Exchange differences (favorable as well as unfavorable) arising in respect of translation/settlement of long-term foreign
currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset is also included in the cost of the asset.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or
when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the
Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss within other income or other expense
respectively.

Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item
of property, plant and equipment, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to
the Group and its cost can be measured reliably with the carrying amount of the replaced part getting derecognised. The
cost for day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on straight-line method basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Depreciation on the
energy generating assets are provided at the rates as well as methodology notified (i.e. 5.83% per annum for first 12
years from commissioning date of the plant and remaining depreciation spread equally over next 13 years) by the Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff determination from Renewable Energy Sources)
Regulations, 2012 whereas applicable. Depreciation is provided at a rate such that 90% of the gross block is depreciated
over 25 year life of assets.
Depreciation on renewable energy projects under competitive bidding are provided on written down value (WDV)
method using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management. Depreciation is provided at a
rate such that 95% of the gross block is depreciated over 30 year life of assets.
Depreciation on other assets of the Group is provided as per Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in
following cases where expected useful life of the assets is assessed different from the corresponding life prescribed
under Schedule II:
Leasehold land and improvements are amortised over the lease-term including the optional period, if any, available to the
Group, where it is reasonably certain at the inception of lease that such option would be exercised by the Group.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) net selling price and its value
in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
are largely independent of those from other assets or Group’s assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net
selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available.
Impairment losses are recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cash-
generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was
recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset neither exceeds its recoverable amount, nor
exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been

(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is
treated as a revaluation increase.
g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Intangible
assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they
are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors
including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors and the level of maintenance
expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortisation methods and useful lives are
reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the
recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are
largely independent of those from other assets.
h) Foreign currency
The foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying to the
foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of
the transaction.
The foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency shall be translated using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in
previous consolidated financial statements shall be recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Special Purpose Interim
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance cost. All other foreign exchange gains and losses
are presented in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on net basis.
Exchange differences (favorable as well as unfavorable) arising in respect of translation/settlement of long-term foreign
currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset is added or deducted from the cost of the asset,
which would be depreciated over the balance life of the asset.
i) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
The Group recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value on initial recognition except for trade
receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added
to the fair value on initial recognition.

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to
hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset gives rise on
specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a
business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise in specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently measured at fair valued through
profit or loss.
4. Financial liabilities
The financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for the
financial liabilities which are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). In case of financial liabilities i.e.
preference share etc. measured at FVTPL, fair value gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and loss for
the same financial year. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the date of Consolidated Balance
Sheet, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as cross currency swap; interest rate swaps and options contracts
to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these
contracts is bank. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are
recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify
for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is
so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value
through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognised initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognised
in net profit in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting
exchange gains or losses are included in other income or other expense respectively.
Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are
expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months period ended

(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
c. Equity shares
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and
share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it
transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability is
derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell an asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that has a significant effect on the fair value
measurement are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input which has a significant effect on the fair value
measurement is not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-
assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at
the end of each reporting period.
(v) Impairment
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of
impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
Financial assets that are debt instruments are initially measured at fair value. Trade and other receivables, unbilled
revenue, security deposits, etc. are measured at amortised cost.
The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables including
unbilled revenue. The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk.
Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial
recognition.

(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines whether there has
been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, twelve
month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If, in the subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on
a twelve month ECL.
j) Employee benefits
All employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-
term employee benefits. An employee who has rendered services to the Group during an accounting period, the Group
recognises the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service as
an expense or as required under Ind AS 19 which permits the inclusion of the benefits in the cost be recognised as an
asset. Benefits such as salaries, wages and bonus etc. are recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid after deducting any amount already paid under short-term
cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a
result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. If the amount already paid
exceeds the undiscounted amount of the benefits, the Group recognises that excess as an asset /prepaid expense to the
extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a
separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay any further amounts. The Group has no obligation, other
than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Group recognises contribution payable to the provident fund
scheme as expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for
service received before the Consolidated Balance Sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to
the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid
exceeds the contribution due for services received before the Consolidated Balance Sheet date, then excess is recognised
as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Group operates one defined benefit plan for its employees. i.e. gratuity. The Group has taken an insurance policy
under Group Gratuity Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover the gratuity liability of the
employees of the Group, and amount paid/payable in respect of present value of liability for past services is charged to
the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of actuarial valuation
carried out as per projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period.
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes
to the asset ceiling (if any) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income. All other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit expenses. Re-measurements recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income will not be reclassified to the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss, and hence, it is treated as part of retained earnings in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit
plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past
service costs.

Compensated absences
The Group has taken an insurance policy under Group Leave Encashment Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of
India (LIC) to cover the liability in respect of accumulated leave of the employees and amount paid/ payable in respect
of present value of liability for past services is charged to the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out as per projected unit credit method at the end
of the reporting period.

a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Cash

l) Business combinations
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103,
Business Combinations. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity
instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is
transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their
fair value on the date of acquisition.
Business combinations between entities under common control are accounted for at carrying value. Transaction costs that
the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other
professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
m) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisition in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of business acquisition, a gain is recognized immediately in the Special
Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
The Group recognises its share of jointly controlled assets (classified according to the nature of these assets), the
liabilities which it has incurred, its share of any liabilities incurred jointly, any income from the sale or use of its share of
the output, and its share of expenses incurred in respect of its interest in the joint venture.
o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

(All amounts are in Rs. Lakhs, except for share data, and if otherwise stated)
The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is
recognised in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no
longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
p) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the
shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding as at the end of reporting
period.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company (after
adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all
the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
r) Dividends
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are
recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss for the period is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item
of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities of the Group are segregated.

(a) The Associates have filed an application dated January 19, 2018, before Registrar of Companies for closure under

5. Segment reporting
The Group is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating a range of renewable energy projects and is in the
process of setting up various power projects. Presently, the Group is operating 927.45 MW renewable energy projects.
This is the only activity performed and is thus also the main source of risks and returns. The Group has a single
reportable segment which is reviewed by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Further, The Group operates within
India and does not have operations in economic environments with different risk and returns. Hence, it is considered
operating in single geographical segment.
A. Contingent liabilities
a. During Assessment Year 2009-10 (Financial Year 2008-09), the Company issued shares at a premium and credited
Rs. 4,797.10 lakhs to the securities premium account. The Assessing Officer challenged the allotment of Company’s
shares at premium and treated the securities premium on issue of shares as ‘Income from other sources’ on the
grounds that the premium charged by the Company was not justified. Further, the Assessing Officer disallowed
certain expenses under different heads amounting to Rs. 252.34 lakhs on account that the Company did not
commence its business in the relevant assessment year. A demand of Rs. 2,171.17 lakhs was raised, out of which Rs.
500.00 lakhs was deposited by the Company in terms of the stay order issued by Commissioner of Income Tax
(Appeals) (CIT-Appeals), while Rs. 73.76 lakhs was adjusted from refund receivable for financial year 2010-11. The
Company filed an appeal against the said order with CIT- Appeals where CIT- Appeals has decided the case in favor
of the revenue department in November 2012. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Mumbai has decided the
case in favour of the Company in August 2013. The Income tax department has adjusted the tax deposited under
protest amounting to Rs. 573.76 lakhs and interest of Rs. 92.39 lakhs against the tax demand for Assessment Year
2012-13. Subsequently, Income tax department has filed an appeal before Bombay High Court against the orders of
ITAT, which is admitted for hearing by the Hon’ble High Court, which is currently pending for disposal.
b. During Assessment Year 2010-11 (Financial Year 2009-10), the Company issued shares at a premium and credited
Rs. 15,321.13 lakhs in securities premium account. The Assessing Officer challenged the allotment of Company’s
shares at premium and treated the securities premium on issue of shares as ‘income from other sources’ on the
grounds taken in previous assessment year. Further, the Assessing Officer made disallowance under section 14A
read with rule 8D of the Act amounting to Rs. 62.32 lakhs and a total demand for Rs. 6,944.12 lakhs was raised

which was later revised to Rs. 6,938.90 lakhs. The Company had deposited Rs. 302.41 lakhs under protest against
the tax demand. The CIT-Appeals had decided the matter related to issue of shares at premium in favour of the
Company. The Income tax department had adjusted the tax deposited under protest amounting to Rs. 302.41 lakhs
and interest of Rs. 29.02 lakhs against the tax demand for Assessment Year 2012-13. Income tax department had
filed an appeal before ITAT against the orders of CIT-Appeals, which has been subsequently decided in favour of
the company. Since the Income tax department has time to file an appeal before the Hon’ble High Court against the
order of ITAT, hence the same has been disclosed as contingent liability.
c. During Assessment Year 2011-12 (Financial Year 2010-11), the Company issued shares on premium and credited
Rs. 15,126.78 lakhs in securities premium account. The Assessing Officer challenged the allotment of Company’s
shares at premium and treated the securities premium on issue of shares as ‘income from other sources’ on the
grounds taken in earlier assessment years. Further, the Assessing Officer made disallowance under section 14A read
with rule 8D of the Act amounting to Rs. 96.67 lakhs and a total demand for Rs. 6,718.87 lakhs has been raised. The
CIT-Appeals had decided the matter related to issue of shares at premium in favour of the Company and referred
back to Assessing Officer to modify the demand in accordance with the relief granted to the Company. Income tax
department has filed an appeal before ITAT against the orders of CIT-Appeals which is currently pending disposal.
d. During Assessment Year 2012-13 (Financial Year 2011-12), the Company issued shares on premium and credited
Rs. 6,398.16 lakhs in securities premium account. The Assessing Officer challenged the allotment of Company’s
shares at premium and treated the securities premium on issue of shares as ‘income from other sources’ on the
grounds taken in earlier assessment years. Further, the Assessing Officer made disallowance under section 14A read
with rule 8D of the Act amounting to Rs. 3.95 lakhs and a total demand for Rs. 2,699.41 lakhs, has been raised in
March 2015. An advance tax amounting to Rs. 120.98 lakhs pertaining to Assessment year 2012-13 year has been
adjusted from this demand. The Company has filed an appeal against the Order before CIT-Appeals. Further, the
Income tax department has adjusted advance tax refund receivable amounting to Rs. 199.63 lakhs (interest of Rs.
30.45 lakhs thereon) and Rs. 170.68 lakhs (interest of Rs. 22.91 lakhs thereon) pertaining to Assessment Year 2013-
14 and Assessment Year 2014-15 respectively against the tax demand for Assessment Year 2012-13. The CIT-
Appeals had decided the matter related to issue of shares at premium in favour of the Company and referred back to
Assessing Officer to modify the demand in accordance with the relief granted to the Company. Accordingly,
Assessing Officer has passed an order of modification of demand to refund total amount deposited under protest the
Company, which is realized during the current period. Income tax department has filed an appeal before ITAT
against the orders of CIT-Appeals, which is currently pending disposal.
Based on discussion with experts, the management believes that no demand is likely to crystallize in respect of
above matters and thus, no adjustments are required in special purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements in this regard.
Estimated amount of contracts (net of advances) remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for

8. In earlier years, the Company had purchased 49% equity shares in three associate companies at Rs. 1,079.42 lakhs of
which Rs. 612.85 lakhs was payable as initial consideration, Rs. 82.45 lakhs was to be paid within 30 days of receiving
techno-economic clearance and balance Rs. 384.12 lakhs to be paid within 30 days of receipt of the first disbursal of
capital subsidy, which was further split into additional milestones based on amendments to Share Purchase and
Shareholders Agreement. The investment in these three associate companies amounted to Rs. 695.30 lakhs on account of
payments made as part purchase consideration on achievement of certain milestones as stipulated in the respective
agreements. The Company had also invested Rs. 205.15 lakhs in the debentures of these associate companies.
Subsequently, the Company had decided not to pursue hydro power projects considering non-sustainability in future.
Accordingly, the Company has made provision, for diminution in relation to above said investments in equity shares and
debentures.
During the current period, the management of the associates has decided to wind up operations in these companies and
has filed an application under Fast Track Exit (FTE) scheme to surrender its registration certificates. Accordingly, the
Company has written off such investment amounting to Rs. 900.45 lakhs which was provided in earlier periods. The
management believes that no further liability shall arise requiring any adjustment in the Special Purpose Interim
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at this stage. (Also, refer note 4)
9. In earlier years, one of the subsidiaries, Green Infra Wind Ventures Limited, was allocated licenses for 474 MW projects
in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Out of such licenses, work for 220 KV line and bay extension in relation to 100 MW
projects was started jointly with other party for which an Evacuation Infrastructure Development Agreement (EIDA)
agreement was signed. Further, land was purchased which was registered in the name of both the parties for execution of
220 KV line and bay extension work. Later, the project was temporarily put on hold as discussions were on with the
wind turbine supplier for the price of the plant and machinery.
During the current period, the management of the Company is of the view that the negotiation with the wind turbine
supplier for the price reduction could not be finalised and such allocated licenses cannot be extended beyond its current
validity. Accordingly, the Group has decided not to pursue with this project further and has provided capital work-in-
progress amounting to Rs. 687.07 lakhs in respect of above said licenses in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Further, an advance amounting to Rs. 308.26 lakhs, paid earlier to one of the
vendors of the project, became non-recoverable and thus has been charged-off, in the Special Purpose Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
10. In the month of October 2017, the Group served notices of defaults to its operation and maintenance vendors due to
performance issues, which were not in line with the agreed terms as per the Operation and Maintenance agreement
(O&M contract).
Further, in the month of November, 2017, the Group sent notices of termination to such vendors stating that the
default/acts/omission as identified have not been rectified in the requisite time as stipulated under the said agreement. As
no remedial action was taken by such vendors, the Group invoked the performance bank guarantee (PBG) related to the
terminated agreements amounting to Rs. 5,779.70 lakhs. Further, post the invocation of PBG, the Group has served a
notice of dispute to the respective vendor. As per the interim order of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, dated December 22,
2017 an amount of Rs. 2,675.70 lakhs has been deposited to the Registrar of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi and Rs. 144.50
lakhs has been paid back to the vendor and the balance amount of Rs. 2,959.50 lakhs is lying with the respective entity as
payable to the vendor. The matter is under litigation in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. Pending resolution of the said
matter and based on discussion with experts, the management believes that no demand is likely to crystallize in respect of
above matters and thus, no adjustments are required in Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements in this regard.
11. In the month of December 2017, one of the subsidiaries, Green Infra Wind Energy Limited sold its investment in
preference shares of Green Infra Wind Assets Limited to the Company. Subsequent to the above transaction, the Board
of Directors have proposed to file an application with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for the Fast Track
Merger (FTM) as per the scheme prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 for the merger of Green Infra Wind Assets
Limited with the Company and the same is under process.

project loan agreement with the lenders and the same is under process. Details of the projects in which creation of
security is under way are as follows:
The management believes that no financial obligation on part of the company, is likely to arise in respect of the above
matter and thus, no adjustments are required in Special Purpose Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in
this regard.

Annexure A to the Independent Auditor's on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Company as of and
for the year ended 31 March 2017, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial
reporting of Sembcorp Green Infra Limited (‘the Holding Company’), its subsidiaries (collectively
referred to as “the Company” or “the Group”) and its associates which are companies incorporated in
India, as of that date.
The Respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies and and its
associates which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the
Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit
of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (“ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the
prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company, its subsidiaries and its associate
company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and
deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to
an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over
financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all
material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal
financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial
controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the Holding Company, its subsidiaries and its associates company’s internal
financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use,
or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control
over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company, its subsidiaries and its associates companies, which are companies
incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating
effectively as at 31 March 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established
by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.
Other Matter
The financial statements / financial information and internal financial controls over financial reporting of
three associate companies of the Holding Company, which are companies incorporated in India, are
unaudited. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the
Management of the Holding Company, these associate companies are not material to the Group.

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements
a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as
per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 (the
Act) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements up to and for the year ended March 31, 2016 were prepared in
accordance with Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2014 notified under section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 and
other relevant provisions of the Act.
As the consolidated financial statements are first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards, Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards has been applied. Accounting
policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements. They have also been applied
in preparing the Ind AS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2015 for the purpose of transition to Ind AS
and as required by Ind AS 101. An explanation of how the transition to Ind AS has affected the previously reported
financial position and financial performance is provided in note 35.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 14,
2017.
b) Basis of consolidation
The Group consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial
statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and its associates as disclosed in note 32. Control exists when the parent has
power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability
to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the
ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from
the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The difference between the cost of investment in subsidiaries to the Group and the proportionate share in the equity of
the investee Company as at the date of acquisition of stake is recognised in the consolidated financial statements as
Goodwill or Capital Reserve, as the case may be. Goodwill arising on consolidation is tested for impairment at the
Balance Sheet date. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries
that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Group, are excluded.
The financial statements of the companies under the Group are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group
balances and transactions including unrealised gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group.
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying
amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition
date. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
The financial statements of the entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that
of the Company.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (Rs.) which is also the Group's functional currency.
All amount have been rounded off to the nearest of rupees, except where otherwise indicated.
486
d) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and
liabilities which have been measured at fair value:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgements and assumptions affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
as at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective
judgements and the use of assumptions in the consolidated financial statements have been disclosed in note 28.
Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate
changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made, if material, their effects are disclosed in
the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current on the basis of the following criteria:
Assets
Liabilities
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing/servicing and their realisation in cash or cash
equivalents.
487
Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-
current classification of assets and liabilities.
b) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised net of return and trade discounts to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate
collectability of revenue, recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.
Income from supply of power is recognised on the supply of units generated from the plant to the Grid, as per the terms
of the respective Power Purchase Agreements entered into with such user.
Income from unutilised banked power units at the end of the year is recognised as per the terms of the Wheeling
Agreement entered into with the respective state electricity boards.
Unbilled revenue represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be realised from customers for services rendered up to
the reporting date, and is measured as per the contractual terms under agreements entered with the customers.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR). It is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated
future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross
carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash
flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established which is generally when
shareholders approves the dividend.
Claims
Claims i.e. late payment surcharges recoverable from customer, insurance claims and liquidated damages, are recognised
on acceptance or actual receipt of the claim, whichever is earlier, considering the uncertainty as to measurement or
ultimate collectability of revenue.
c) Finance costs
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, and accretion of interest on site restoration obligation.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Borrowing costs are capitalised since the property, plant and equipment takes a substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use.
Interest expense on borrowings is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that discounts the
estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to
488
the gross carrying amount of the financial assets. When calculating the EIR, the Group estimates the expected cash flows
by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.
d) Lease payments
At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement that contains a lease, the payments and other consideration required
by such an arrangement are separated into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative
fair values. If it is concluded for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset
and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. The liability is reduced as
payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general
inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. Lease incentives received are recognised as
an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
e) Income taxes
Current tax
Current income tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment in respect of previous years. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted
as at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (OCI) or in
equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in OCI or directly in equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax.
The Group recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is reasonable evidence that the Group
will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e. the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried
forward. In the year in which the Group recognises MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961, the said asset
is created by way of credit to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement”.
The Group reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the
Group does not have evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for temporary
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the Companies under the Group has
unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that there is
reasonable evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
At each reporting date, the Group re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax
asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
489
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss i.e. either in other comprehensive income or in equity.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Under the Indian GAAP, property, plant and equipment were carried in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on historical
cost. The Group has elected to avail the option under Ind AS 101 “First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards”
by not applying the provisions of Ind AS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” retrospectively and continue to use the
Indian GAAP carrying amount as the deemed cost under Ind AS on the date of transition. Therefore, the Indian GAAP
carrying amounts of items of property, plant and equipment as at April 1, 2015 (the Group’s date of transition to Ind AS)
have been considered as the carrying amounts under Ind AS on April 1, 2015.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. The cost comprises its purchase price, freight, duties, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bring the assets to its working condition for intended use. Any trade
discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct services, any other costs (net of Cenvat)
directly attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for their intended use, and the estimated costs of
dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Tangible fixed assets under
construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress. Software that is integral to the functionality of the related
equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
Exchange differences (favorable as well as unfavorable) arising in respect of translation/settlement of long-term foreign
currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset is also included in the cost of the asset.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or
when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss within other income or other expense respectively.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item
of property, plant and equipment, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to
the Group and its cost can be measured reliably with the carrying amount of the replaced part getting derecognised. The
cost for day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss as and when incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on straight-line method basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Depreciation on the
energy generating assets are provided at the rates as well as methodology notified (i.e. 5.83% per annum for first 12
years from commissioning date of the plant and remaining depreciation spread over in next 13 years) by the Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff determination from Renewable Energy Sources)
Regulations, 2012 whereas applicable.
Depreciation on renewable energy projects under competitive bidding shall be provided on written down value (WDV)
method using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management. Depreciation is provided at a
rate such that 95% of the gross block is depreciated over the 30 year life of assets.
Depreciation on other assets of the Group is provided as per Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in
following cases where expected useful life of the assets is assessed different from the corresponding life prescribed
under Schedule II:
Category Life as per Schedule II Life considered
Mobile phone (included in office equipments) 5 years 3 years
Site equipment (included in plant and machinery) 15 years 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years 5 years
490
Leasehold land and improvements are amortised over the lease-term including the optional period, if any, available to the
Group, where it is reasonably certain at the inception of lease that such option would be exercised by the Group.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) net selling price and its value
in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
are largely independent of those from other assets or Group’s assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net
selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available.
Impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. After impairment, depreciation is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cash-
generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was
recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset neither exceeds its recoverable amount, nor
exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Intangible assets are amortised over
their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of
obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors and the level of maintenance expenditures required to
obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortisation methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically
including at each financial year end.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the
recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are
largely independent of those from other assets.
h) Foreign currency
The foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying to the
foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of
the transaction.
The foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency shall be translated using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in
previous consolidated financial statements shall be recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period in which they arise.
491
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss, within finance cost. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss on net basis.
Under Indian GAAP, paragraph 46/46A of AS 11, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, provide
accounting treatment with respect to exchange differences arising on restatement of long-term foreign currency monetary
items. Ind AS 101 provide an optional exemption that allows to continue the above accounting treatment in respect of the
long-term foreign currency monetary items recognised in the consolidated financial statements as on transition date.
Therefore, exchange differences (favorable as well as unfavorable) arising in respect of translation/settlement of long-
term foreign currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset is added or deducted from the cost
of the asset, which would be depreciated over the balance life of the asset.
i) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
The Group recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes party to the contractual provision of the
instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value on initial recognition except for trade
receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added
to the fair value on initial recognition.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to
hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset gives rise on
specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a
business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise in specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently measured at fair valued through
profit or loss.
4. Financial liabilities
The financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for the
financial liabilities which are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). In case of financial liabilities i.e.
preference share etc. measured at FVTPL, fair value gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and loss for
the same financial year. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the date of Consolidated Balance
Sheet, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as cross currency swap; interest rate swaps and options contracts
to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these
492
contracts is bank. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify
for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is
so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value
through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognised initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognised
in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these
derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in
other income or other expense respectively.
Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are
expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
c. Equity shares
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and
share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it
transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability is
derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell an asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that has a significant effect on the fair value
measurement are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input which has a significant effect on the fair value
measurement is not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
493
(v) Impairment
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of
impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
Financial assets that are debt instruments initially measured at fair value. Trade and other receivables, unbilled revenue,
security deposits, etc. are measurement at amortised cost.
The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables. The
application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines whether there has
been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, twelve
month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If, in the subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on
a twelve month ECL.
j) Employee benefits
All employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-
term employee benefits. An employee who has rendered services to the Group during an accounting period, the Group
recognises the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service as
an expense or as required under Ind AS 19 which permits the inclusion of the benefits in the cost be recognised as an
asset. Benefits such as salaries, wages and bonus etc. are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in
the period in which the employee renders the related service.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid after deducting any amount already paid under short-term
cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a
result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. If the amount already paid
exceeds the undiscounted amount of the benefits, the Group recognises that excess as an asset /prepaid expense to the
extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a
separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay any further amounts. The Group has no obligation, other
than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Group recognises contribution payable to the provident fund
scheme as expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for
service received before the Consolidated Balance Sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to
the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid
exceeds the contribution due for services received before the Consolidated Balance Sheet date, then excess is recognised
as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Group operates one defined benefit plan for its employees. i.e. gratuity. The Group has taken an insurance policy
under Group Gratuity Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover the gratuity liability of the
employees of the Group, and amount paid/payable in respect of present value of liability for past services is charged to
the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out as per projected unit credit
method at the end of the reporting period.
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes
to the asset ceiling (if any) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income. All other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss as employee benefit expenses. Re-measurements recognised in Other Comprehensive Income will not be
reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss hence it is treated as part of retained earnings in the
494
Statement of Changes in Equity. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are
recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service
costs.
Compensated absences
The Group has taken an insurance policy under Group Leave Encashment Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of
India (LIC) to cover the liability in respect of accumulated leave of the employees and amount paid/ payable in respect
of present value of liability for past services is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of
actuarial valuation carried out as per projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period.
Cash and short-term deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks, cash on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as
a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows.
l) Business combinations
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103,
Business Combinations. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity
instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is
transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their
fair value on the date of acquisition.
Business combinations between entities under common control are accounted for at carrying value. Transaction costs that
the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other
professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
m) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisition in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of business acquisition, a gain is recognized immediately in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
The Group recognises its share of jointly controlled assets (classified according to the nature of these assets), the
liabilities which it has incurred, its share of any liabilities incurred jointly, any income from the sale or use of its share of
the output, and its share of expenses incurred in respect of its interest in the joint venture.
o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, net of any
reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate
that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is recognised in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no
longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
495
p) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the
shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding as at the end of reporting
period.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company (after
adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all
the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
r) Dividends
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are
recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss for the period is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item
of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities of the Group are segregated.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have
the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's
recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the greater of its
value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually
518
are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (CGU).
The Group's corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be
impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised, if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated
recoverable amount and is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Impairment loss recognised in
respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill, if any, allocated to the units
and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group or units on a pro rata basis).
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at end of each reporting period for any indications that the
loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount
does not exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss had been recognised.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the
discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where
this is not feasible, a degree of judgements is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of
inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk volatility and discount rates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could
affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
c. Income taxes
The Group is subject to income tax laws as applicable in India. Significant judgment is required in determining provision
for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain
during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of
whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that
were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred lax provisions in the period in which
such determination is made.
d. Deferred taxes
In assessing the realisability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is probable, that some portion, or
all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realised. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based
on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable incomes over the periods in which the deferred
tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is probable that the Group will be able to realise the benefits of
those deductible differences in future.
The present value of the gratuity and compensated absences obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An
actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These
include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities
involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these
assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated
in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of
the post-employment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific
countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary
increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are
given in note 37.

34. Financial risk management
The Group's principal financial assets include investments in mutual funds, trade and other receivables, unbilled revenue,
cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, etc. that are derived directly from operations. The principal financial
liabilities of the Group include trade and other payables and the main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance
the day to day operations of the Group.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Group's senior management is supported by a risk committee that advises on financial
risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures.
This note explains the risks which the Group is exposed to and policies and framework adopted by the Group to manage
these risks:
a. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and investment risk.
The sensitivity analyses have been prepared excluding the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying
values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as cross currency swap, interest rate swaps and options contracts
to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the
rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks based on
the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015. The following
assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses.

(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to
the Group’s debt obligations with floating interest rates.
For the interest-bearing assets, the income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market
interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt
obligations with floating interest rates, which are included in interest bearing borrowings in these financial statements.
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instrument is at its fair value:
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans
and borrowings affected. A change of 100 basis points in interest rates for variable rate instruments at the reporting date
would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss for the below years by the amounts shown below. With all other variables
held constant, the Group’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The Indian Rupee is the Group's most significant currency. As a consequence, the Group's results are presented in Indian
Rupee and exposures are managed against Indian Rupee accordingly. The Group's operations give foreign currency
exposure and as on Consolidated Balance Sheet date, below are the foreign currency payables outstanding as on the
reporting date.
The Group's quoted mutual funds are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of
the investment securities. The Group manages the price risk through diversification and by placing limits on individual
and total Instruments. Reports on the portfolio are submitted to the Group's senior management on a regular basis.
b. Liquidity risk
The financial liabilities of the Group include loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The Group's principal
sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from financing operations. The
Group monitors its risk of shortage of funds to meet the financial liabilities using a liquidity planning tool.
524
The below is the detail of contractual maturities of the financial liabilities at the end of each reporting period:
c. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum
exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables which are typically unsecured. Credit
risk on cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances is limited as the Group generally invests in deposits with banks
and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. The Group’s credit risk in case of all
other financial instruments is negligible.
The Group assesses the creditworthiness of the customers internally to whom goods are sold on credit terms in the
normal course of business. The credit limit of each customer is defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding
customer receivables are regularly monitored.
The impairment analysis is performed on client to client basis for the debtors that are past due at the end of each
reporting date. The Group has not considered an allowance for doubtful debts in case of trade receivables that are past
due but there has not been a significant change in the credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. On
account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain.
As stated in note 2 (a), the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 is the first annual
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The adoption was carried out in accordance with
Ind AS 101 using Consolidated Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2015 as the transition date. The transition was carried out
from Indian GAAP, which was considered as the previous GAAP. All applicable Ind AS have been applied consistently
and retrospectively wherever, required. The resulting difference between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities
525
in the consolidated financial statements under both Ind AS and Indian GAAP as of the transition date are recognised
directly in equity (retained earnings) at the date of transition to Ind AS.
Accordingly the Company has prepared consolidated financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for year
ended on or after April 1, 2015, together with the comparative year data as at March 31, 2016, as described in the
summary or significant accounting policies. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Group has availed
itself of certain exemptions and exceptions in accordance with Ind AS 101. The Group availed/ exercised the following
exemptions / exceptions notified by the Ind AS 101.
i) Exemptions from retrospective application:
Investments in associates
The Group has opted to continue with the carrying value for equity investments in subsidiaries and associates as
recognised in the consolidated financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the Indian
GAAP and used it as its deemed cost.
Estimates exception
Upon an assessment of the estimates made under Indian GAAP, the Group has concluded that there was no necessity
to revise such estimates under Ind AS.
Following are the principal adjustments made by the Group in restating its Indian GAAP financial statements,
including the opening Consolidated Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2015, Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2016 and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2016.

Based on discussion with experts, the management believes that no demand is likely to crystallise in respect of matters
given in note (a), (b), (c) and (d) and thus, no adjustments are required in Consolidated Financial Statements in this
regard.
Estimated amount of contracts (net of advances) remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for Rs.
91,000,000 (March 31, 2016: Rs. 4,959,729,434) (April 1, 2015: Rs. 5,535,877,429).
During the current year, following subsidiaries had entered into contracts with project vendors to develop wind power
projects. Due to foreseeable delays in project completion within the stipulated time, the Group had decided to short
closed contracts and decided to commission partial capacity. The management does not foresee any liability against the
said short closure of the project.
During the current year, the Group participated in competitive bidding for a wind power project in the state of Tamil
Nadu and was awarded with a project of 249.9 MW capacity. The electricity to be generated from the said power plant
would be sold to customers tied up by the Group as per the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). Subsequently to year
ended March 31, 2017, the Group have entered into a contract with project vendors for the development of said power
project.
The Group provides for gratuity, which is defined benefit retirement plan covering all employees. Every employee gets
gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with
the Life Insurance Corporation in the form of qualifying insurance policy.
The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan and the related current service cost and, where
applicable past service cost are determined based on an actuarial valuation done using the Projected Unit Credit Method
by an independent actuary, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit
entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligations are measured at the present
value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under
defined benefit plans is based on the market yields on Government bonds as at the date of actuarial valuation. Actuarial
gains and losses (net of tax) are recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income.
The Group has a policy of getting the actuarial valuation done every reporting date basis. Accordingly, the disclosures
have been made for the year ended March 31, 2017 and previous year ended March 31, 2016.
The following tables summaries the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the plans.

39. In earlier years, the Company was awarded Jobrie Hydro Electric Project through a competitive bidding process
conducted under the relevant policy of Government of Himachal Pradesh on October 15, 2011, against which the
Company had deposited an upfront premium of Rs. 24,000,000. One of the other bidders filed a petition before the High
Court of Himachal Pradesh challenging the award of Jobrie project in favour of the Company on the ground of lapses in
the relevant Hydro policy under which the bidding was conducted and awards were made. The petition was decided in
favour of the State of Himachal Pradesh vide order dated September 13, 2011. However, the party has filed an appeal
against the above mentioned order before the High Court of Himachal Pradesh (double bench), which is currently
pending disposal. Accordingly, the Company had provided the same in the year ended March 31, 2015.
538
During the year ended March 31, 2016, the management of the Company on prudent basis, had decided to write off such
advances considering them as non-recoverable considering significant delays in commencement of project development
activities including land acquisition and ongoing litigation. The Company believes that no further liability shall arise
requiring any adjustment in the consolidated financial statements at this stage.
40. In an earlier year, the Company had purchased 49% equity shares in three associate companies at Rs. 107,941,600, of
which Rs. 61,284,600 was payable as initial consideration, Rs. 8,245,000 was to be paid within 30 days of receiving
techno-economic clearance and balance Rs. 38,412,000 to be paid within 30 days of receipt of the first disbursal of
capital subsidy, which was further split into additional milestones based on amendments to Share Purchase and
Shareholders Agreement. The investment in these three associate companies amounted to Rs. 69,529,599 on account of
payments made as part purchase consideration on achievement of certain milestones as stipulated in the respective
agreements. The Company had also invested Rs. 20,515,000 in the debentures of these associate companies till March
31, 2015 and had given advances of Rs. 2,954,770 till March 31, 2015.
During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company had decided not to pursue hydro power projects considering non-
sustainability in future. Accordingly, the Company has made provision, for diminution in relation to investments in
equity shares of Rs. 69,529,599 and debentures of Rs. 20,515,000 of the associate companies and advances recoverable
of Rs. 2,954,770 from such associate companies.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company has written off such advances amounting Rs. 2,954,770 (provided

41. In earlier years, one of the subsidiaries, GIWVL, was allocated licenses for 474 MW projects in the state of Madhya
Pradesh. During the year, work for 220 KV line and bay extension in relation to 100 MW out of 450 MW project license
has been started jointly with by other party for which an Evacuation Infrastructure Development Agreement (EIDA)
agreement has been signed. As per the agreement the cost is to be shared in equal proportion by other party and the
Group, for which an Escrow account has been opened. An amount of Rs. 282,600,000 has been transferred by each of the
parties in the Escrow account so that payments related to work can be made accordingly. Further, land has been
purchased which is registered in the name of both the parties for execution of 220 KV line and bay extension work.
During the year, an advance of Rs. 6,750,000 paid earlier to one of the vendors of the project became non-recoverable
and has thus been charged in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Further, the project has been temporarily put
on hold as discussions are on with the wind turbine supplier for the price of the plant and machinery. The management
believes that the work on the 100 MW project would soon presume and thus the project need not be suspended.
42. On January 9, 2014, one of the subsidiaries, GIWPGL commissioned 20 MW wind farm at Ramdurga, Karnataka and
with an intention to sell electricity through the Group Captive route. However, as the Wheeling and Banking
arrangement with Hubli Electricity Supply Company Limited (HESCOM) was entered into on March 17, 2014,
GIWPGL had billed Rs. 18,743,532 to HESCOM for the units generated at the applicable generic tariff of Rs. 4.20 per
unit from the date of commissioning until the date of execution of the wheeling and banking agreement (W&B
Agreement).
As HESCOM did not accept the above billed amount, GIWPGL had filed a petition before the Karnataka Electricity
Regulatory Commission (KERC) for realisation of its payment for the energy billed to HESCOM. KERC vide its order
in January, 2015 decided the case in favour of GIWPGL. Subsequently, HESCOM filed in appeal in Appellate Tribunal
for Electricity (APTEL) against the KERC’s order. APTEL vide its order dated May 12, 2016 directed HESCOM to
make payment from the date of ABT meter installation to the date of signing of the W&B Agreement (i.e. from February
6, 2014 to March 17, 2014 ). The Group decided not to pursue the case further and accepted the Order and accordingly
had written off its trade receivables of amounting Rs. 6,666,002 in the year ended March 31, 2016 pertain to such period.
Subsequent to year ended March 31, 2017, the Company has realised the balance amount due from HESCOM.
539
43. In earlier years, the Company had entered into various agreements with certain vendors for development of wind power
projects of 490.5 MW and providing related services in the state of Karnataka. Subsequently, through the Assignment
Agreements, the Company had assigned all rights, interest and obligations arising out of above agreements to nine of its
subsidiaries (GIWEDL, GIWEEL, GIWECL, GIWPTL, GIWPVL, GIWPDL, GIWTSL, GIWPSL and GICWEL)
incorporated for undertaking these projects.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, a dispute arose between the vendors and the Group resulting into a claim made
by the vendors. With a view to settle the dispute, the Group and the vendor entered into a revised Definitive agreement
and a Settlement Agreement in December, 2015 (Revised Agreements). Consequent to the signing of Revised
Agreements, the original agreements was terminated. As per the terms of the Revised Agreements, the Group intended to
pursue projects equivalent to 258 MW instead of 490.5 MW which was envisaged in the original agreements. Further as
per the Revised Agreements, the outstanding advances recoverable from the vendors would be adjusted towards the
consideration payable on the completion of milestones for the projects to be pursued (258 MW). It was also agreed that
cost already incurred on some of the projects not to be pursued would be adjusted against the cost of the remaining
projects to be pursued (258 MW), subject to fulfillment of certain conditions by the Group as per the terms of the
Revised Agreement.
Subsequently, due to non-fulfillment of the above referred conditions in the financial year 2015-16, the Group, on a
prudent basis, decided to recognise an impairment provision amounting to Rs. 146,796,877 against the capital work-in-
progress of the relevant projects (disclosed as an exceptional item). Further, the Group also re-assessed the sustainability
of 93 MW projects (out of 258 MW) based on various factors including rate of return, energy prices and other technical
factors and decided not to pursue these projects. Consequently, the Group has written off amounting to Rs. 256,450,972
towards related capital work in progress (disclosed as an exceptional item). The Group has also written-off advances
extended to vendors amounting to Rs. 44,954,256 in relation to these projects (disclosed as an exceptional item).
As at year ended March 31, 2016, the Group had an outstanding advance amounting to Rs. 218,122,913, which is
adjustable against the consideration to be paid to the vendor towards future development of 84 MW project (out of total
258 MW).
During the year ended March 31, 2017, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between the Company
and its three subsidiaries Green Infra Wind Power Generation Limited (GIWPGL), Green Infra Wind Energy Limited
(GIWEL) and Green Infra Clean Wind Energy Limited (GICWEL) to execute the 44 MW project in GIWPGL and the 40
MW in GIWEL. Subsequently, GIWPGL and GIWEL has obtained Government Order and Power Evacuation approval
and various invoices amounting Rs. 145,728,000 and Rs. 132,480,000 has been received for the milestone achieved in
GIWPGL and GIWEL respectively which has been accounted as capital-work-in-progress and the vendor liability has
been adjusted from the advance available against the vendors in the respective entity.
On June 3, 2017, the Group has signed a Settlement & Release Agreement No.1 with the vendor in which the vendor has
been absolved of all its responsibilities without any recourse to the Group at an agreed Settlement amount of Rs.
384,724,800. Part of this settlement, amounting Rs. 300,000,000 has been paid by the Company and part of the amount
has been adjusted from the advance lying in GIWEL amounting to Rs. 84,724,800.
Considering the above settlement, the Group has accounted Rs. 150,217,658 as a compensation claim (after netting of
Rs. 149,782,342 provided in the previous year) against the final settlement. The Group believes that no further liability
shall arise requiring any adjustment in these consolidated financial statements as a final settlement agreement has been
signed with the vendor.

27,000,000) has been considered as non-refundable by the management and accordingly had been capitalised in earlier
years.
In respect of remaining 50% amount i.e. Rs. 27,000,000, GIWEPL has entered into an agreement with the developer
whereby the developer has agreed to refund the said amount to GIWEPL on receipt from MSEB. The management is
541
currently in discussion with the developer for refund and, basis thereof, believes that no adjustments are required to be
made in this regard in the consolidated financial statements.
53. During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Group have received an amount of Rs. 103,180,233 being recovered as late
payment surcharge as per the terms of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) entered with Rajasthan Discom for supply of
wind power energy. As per terms of PPA, the Company was eligible for late payment surcharge @ 1.25% per month if
payment of respective bill is delayed beyond a period of 1.5 month from the date of billing.
During the year, the Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (RUVNL) issued a notification in which outstanding dues of
wind power generators till December 31, 2016 would be cleared along with 50% late payment surcharge if the Company
accepts the undertaking for 50% late payment surcharge waiver. The Group accepted the undertaking of RUVNL and
realised the outstanding dues along with the late payment surcharge.
54. In earlier years, one of the subsidiary company, GICSL had set up a wind project in the state of Maharashtra, having an
installed capacity of 22.50 MW set up in 2 phases i.e. 12.90 MW in the month of October 2015 and 9.6 MW in the
month of March 2016. In relation to the said project, the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) had not been entered up to
financial year ended March 31, 2016. However, GICSL has started generating electricity and feed in the governmental
grid from the date of commission of the said project.
During the current year, GICSL has entered into PPA with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited
(MSEDCL) and accordingly has accrued revenue for the period November 2015 to March 31, 2017 amounting to Rs.
156,464,676, out of which Rs. 20,186,976 relates to the period November 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Further, GICSL has entered into a Consensus Cum Undertaking with MSEDCL for voluntarily waiving off the late
payment surcharge @ 1.25% per month as mentioned in PPA. Also, GICSL has agreed to receive the amount of accrued
revenue for the above mentioned period in 18 equal monthly installments. Accordingly, the said revenue has been
discounted using government bond rate over the period of 18 months and expense of Rs. 13,098,520 has been charged in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
55. In earlier year, one of the subsidiary company, GIWPGL had taken necessary approvals to develop the Saudhantti project
sites (approximate capacity of 36 MW) in the state of Karnataka.
During the current year, the management has decided further not to develop the said project sites due to non-viability of
such project in future. Accordingly, the capital expenditure amounting to Rs. Rs. 7,721,000 is charged in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as CWIP written off.
56. During the year ended March 31, 2017, one of the subsidiary company, GIWL has received a letter of cancellation for
power evacuation approval for the wind turbine generators (WTGs) from Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution
Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) for 25.5 MW wind projects in the state of Tamil Nadu. Accordingly, the
management has decided to write off capital work-in-progress amounting to Rs. 5,519,597 as the expenditures incurred
on the project under the capital work-in-progress is no longer feasible to be capitalised.
Further, GIWL is in the process of filing application for refund of security deposits of Rs. 4,100,000 made to
TANGEDCO related to the project. The management believes that no further liability shall arise requiring any
adjustment in the financial statements at this stage.
57. Against the demand for Rs. 2,490,169 (March 31, 2016: Rs. 2,490,169) (April 1, 2015: Rs 2,490,169) received from
Chief Electrical Inspector towards Electricity Tax on Captive Generation, the Group has filed a writ in the Hon’ble High
Court and obtained stay. However, the Group has already made provision against the same in the earlier year.
58. The Company did not have any holdings or dealings in Specified Bank Notes as mentioned in the notification of the
Government of India, in the Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs number S.O. 3407(E), dated
November 8, 2016 during the period from November 8, 2016 to December 30, 2016.

Annexure A to the Independent Auditor’s on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section (3) of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Sembcorp Green Infra Limited
(‘the Holding Company’) as of and for the year ended 31 March 2016, we have audited the internal

maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria
established by the Holding company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies considering

Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial

including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention
and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the

Reporting’ (the “Guidance Note”) issued by ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and
deemed to be prescribed under section 143 (10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal

evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the Holding Company’s, its subsidiary company’s and its associate company’s
internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
548
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error
or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control
over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which are
companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were
operating effectively as at 31 March 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria
established by the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies considering
the essential components of internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.
Other Matter
The financial statements / financial information and internal financial controls over financial reporting of
three associate companies of the Holding Company, which are companies incorporated in India, are
unaudited. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the
Management of the Holding Company, these associate companies are not material to the Group.

SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India (“GAAP”) and comply with the
Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014, the other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (including provisions of Companies Act,
1956 which continue to remain in force, to the extent applicable) and pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.
a. Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiary companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of the like items
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating all intra-group balances and intra-group transactions
and also unrealised profits or losses, except where cost cannot be recovered. The results of operations of a
subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the parent subsidiary
relationship came into existence. The amounts shown in respect of reserves comprise the amount of the relevant
reserves as per the Balance Sheet of the Parent Company and its share in the post-acquisition increase/decrease in
the reserves of the consolidated entities.
(ii) The difference between the cost to the Group of investment in Subsidiaries and the proportionate share in the
equity of the investee company as at the date of acquisition of stake is recognised in the consolidated financial
statements as Goodwill or Capital Reserve, as the case may be. Goodwill arising on consolidation is tested for
impairment at the Balance Sheet date.
(iii) Minorities’ interest in net profits/loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the year is identified and adjusted against the
income in order to arrive at the net income attributable to the shareholders of the Group. Their share of net assets is
identified and presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet separately. Where accumulated losses attributable to
the minorities are in excess of their equity, in the absence of the contractual obligation on the minorities, the same
is accounted for by the holding company.
(iv) Investment in Associate is accounted for in consolidated financial statement under the equity method, whereby the
investment is initially recorded at cost, identifying any goodwill / capital reserve arising at the time of acquisition.
The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Company’s
share of net assets of the Associate.
(v) Adjustment pursuant to the changes in Minority shareholding is adjusted through capital reserve or goodwill as the
case may be.
(vi) As far as possible, the consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like
transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner
as the Company's standalone financial statements.
(vii) The financial statements of the entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as
that of the Company i.e. year ended March 31, 2016.
b. Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India
(Indian GAAP) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of such estimate include future obligations
under employee benefit plans, income taxes, useful lives of tangible assets and intangible assets, impairment of assets,
valuation of derivatives, provision for doubtful debts/advances, asset retirement obligation etc.
555
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and
reasonable. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of the changes in
circumstances surrounding the estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and
future periods.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Group’s normal operating cycle and other
criteria in accordance with Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 set out below:
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity’s normal operating cycle;
b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. it is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d. the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity
instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-
current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current
classification of assets and liabilities.
d. Tangible assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost
comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset
to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits
from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing fixed assets,
including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
Exchange differences (favorable as well as unfavorable) arising in respect of translation/settlement of long-term foreign
currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset are also included in the cost of the asset. Also refer
note 2.1 (r) below.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is
derecognised.
556
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Depreciation is provided on straight-line method basis over the estimated useful life of the fixed assets. Depreciation on the
energy generation assets is provided at the rates as well as methodology notified (i.e. 5.83% per annum for first 12 years
from commissioning of the plant and remaining depreciation spread over the remaining useful life from 13th year onwards
and estimated useful life being 25 years) by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for
Tariff determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2012 (CERC Regulations).
Depreciation on other assets of the Group is provided on straight line method basis over the estimated useful life of the fixed
assets which coincides with as per Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in following cases where
expected useful life of the assets are different from the corresponding life prescribed as under:
Leasehold land and leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Post initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Group uses a rebuttable
presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed three years from the date when the asset is available
for use.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the
asset is derecognised.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimate the asset’s recoverable amount. An
asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating units (CGU) net selling price and its value in use.
The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent
market transactions are taken into account, if available.
Impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. After impairment, depreciation is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cash-
generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change
in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior
years. Such reversal is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued
amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
h. Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest and ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.
557
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
i. Leases
Where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the lease term, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
j. Investments
Investments, which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such
investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable
acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual
investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to
recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to
the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
k. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can
be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Income from unutilised banked power units at the end of the year is recognised as per the terms of the Wheeling Agreement
entered into with the respective state electricity boards.
Income from sale of Certified Emission Reductions (CER) and Renewable Energy Certificates (REC)
CER and REC are recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer, which
generally coincides with the delivery of CER/REC.
Interest
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividend
Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive dividend is established by the reporting date.
558
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a
separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Group makes specified monthly contributions to the
Regional Provident Fund Commissioner towards provident fund which is a defined contribution plans. The Group’s
contribution is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the
employee renders the related service.
The Group operates one defined benefit plan for its employees, viz., gratuity. The cost of providing benefits under this plan
is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end using the projected unit credit method. The Group has
generally taken an insurance policy under Group Gratuity Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover
the gratuity liability of the employees of the Group, and amount paid/ payable in respect of present value of liability for past
services is charged to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out as per
projected unit credit method at the end of the financial year. Actuarial gains and losses for the defined benefit plan is
recognised in full in the period in which they occur in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit
for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using
the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.
The Group has taken an insurance policy under Group Leave Encashment Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LIC) to cover the liability in respect of accumulated leave of the employees and amount paid/ payable in respect of present
value of liability for past services is charged to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of actuarial valuation
carried out as per projected unit credit method at the end of the financial year.
Employees (including senior executives of the Group) receive remuneration in the form of share based payment
transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments.
In accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, the cost of such share based
transactions is measured using the intrinsic value method and recognised, together with a corresponding increase in the
“Employees stock options outstanding account” in reserves. The cumulative expense recognised for such transactions at
each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best
estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and
end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
Where the terms of such transaction award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense as if the terms had
not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that
increases the total intrinsic value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as
measured at the date of modification. Also refer note 33.
n. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the
tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax
jurisdictions where the Group operates.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating
during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates
and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences
only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the respective entities have unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward
tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can
be realised against future taxable profits.
559
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
In the situations where the entity under Group is entitled to a tax holiday under the Income Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India
or tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognised in
respect of timing differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the Group's gross total income is
subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. However, the Group restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the
extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. For recognition of deferred taxes, the timing differences
which originate first are considered to reverse first.
At each reporting date, the Group re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax asset
to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The
Group recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Group will
pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward.
In the year in which the Group recognises MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for
Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of
credit to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement.” The Group reviews the
“MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Group does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and
reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
p. Provisions
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on
best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date
and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the
exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
560
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary
items, which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items, which are measured at fair value or other similar valuation
denominated in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date when such value was determined.
Exchange differences
The Group accounts for exchange differences arising on translation/ settlement of foreign currency monetary items as
below:
- Exchange difference arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are
capitalised and depreciated over the remaining useful life of assets.
- All other exchange difference arising on foreign currency monetary items are recognised as income or expenses in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of above, the Group treats a foreign monetary item as “long-term foreign currency monetary item”, if it has
a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with MCA Circular dated August 9, 2012,
exchange differences for this purpose, are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items for the
period. In other words, the Group does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency
borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.
The Group recognises its share of jointly controlled assets (classified according to the nature of these assets), the liabilities
which it has incurred, its share of any liabilities incurred jointly, any income from the sale or use of its share of the output,
and its share of expenses incurred in respect of its interest in the joint venture.
The Group enters into derivative contracts in the nature of cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency call
options etc. with an intention to hedge its existing assets and liabilities, firm commitments and highly probable forecasted
transactions. All these derivative contracts are marked-to-market and the resultant loss, if any, from these contracts are
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, gain on mark to market of such contracts is ignored.
u. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present
obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial statements.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the amendment dated December 29, 2011 to Accounting Standard (AS)
11 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’, to allow companies to capitalise exchange differences arising on
long-term foreign currency monetary items.
In accordance with the amendment/ earlier amendment to AS 11, the subsidiaries, GIBTVL, GISFL and GISPL have
capitalised exchange loss, arising on long-term foreign currency loan, amounting to Rs. 511,193,457 (including Rs.
361,114,083 pertaining to earlier years) (March 31, 2015: Rs. 4,262,927) to the cost of plant and machinery. Also, refer note
37 below.
37. The Subsidiaries, GIBTVL, GISFL and GISPL, have entered into Cross Currency Swaps (CCS), Interest Rate Swaps (IRS)
and Options (together termed as ‘Derivative Contracts’) to hedge the exposures on long-term foreign currency loans (External
Commercial Borrowings (ECBs)) taken by these companies. As per ICAI announcement on ‘Accounting for Derivatives’,
considering the requirements of Accounting Standard – 1 relating to prudence, mark to market (MTM) loss, if any, on these
derivative contracts should be recognised, while MTM gains should be ignored.
587
SEMBCORP GREEN INFRA LIMITED
(Formerly known as Green Infra Limited)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Till previous year, the Company had recognised losses arising due to restatement of hedged portion of the foreign currency
loans in the in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and, also recognised MTM gains (to the extent of such losses)
arising on above derivative contracts with a corresponding recognition of derivative asset (Rs. 369,268,683). After a review
of this policy during the year to align it with the requirements of above Announcement and the requirement of paragraph 46A
of AS 11 (refer to note 36 above), the Group decided to derecognise the derivative asset with a corresponding adjustment to
the cost of plant and machinery. Consequently, the cost of plant and machinery is increased by Rs. 369,268,683. Further, an
amount of Rs. 8,154,600 towards restatement gain on a long-term foreign currency loan was recognised as other income in
previous year’s financial statements has been reversed in the current year with a corresponding adjustment to the cost of fixed
assets in line with the requirements of paragraph 46A of AS-11. Due to the above adjustments, depreciation expense for the
current year includes Rs. 53,212,106 pertaining to earlier years.
Further, during the year, the Company has also recognised MTM loss on certain derivative contracts amounting to Rs.
21,801,345 pertaining to previous year in accordance with the above Announcement.
38. The Group follows Accounting Standard (AS-22) “Accounting for taxes on Income”, notified by the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014. Certain subsidiary companies having operational power projects are eligible for tax holiday under Section 80IA
of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In view of unabsorbed depreciation as per tax laws till the end of the current year and the
current projections of future profitability, the Group has not availed the tax holiday period in any of its subsidiaries and thus,
has considered the recognition of deferred tax liability and non-recognition of MAT credit entitlement accordingly.
Out of operational subsidiaries, few companies are liable to pay income tax (Minimum alternative tax) under the provisions of
Section 115JB of the Income-Tax Act, 1961.
39. The Company was awarded Jobrie Hydro Electric Project through a competitive bidding process conducted under the relevant
policy of Government of Himachal Pradesh on October 15, 2011, against which the Company had deposited an upfront
premium of Rs. 24,000,000 (March 31, 2015: Rs. 24,000,000). One of the other bidders filed a petition before the High Court
of Himachal Pradesh challenging the award of Jobrie project in favour of the Company on the ground of lapses in the relevant
Hydro policy under which the bidding was conducted and awards were made. The petition was decided in favour of the State
of Himachal Pradesh vide order dated September 13, 2011. However, the party has filed an appeal against the
abovementioned order before the High Court of Himachal Pradesh (double bench), which is currently pending disposal.
During the previous year, the Company on prudent basis, created provision against the advance paid (disclosed as an
exceptional item) considering significant delays in commencement of project development activities including land
acquisition and ongoing litigation. In the current year, the management has decided to write off such advance considering
them as non-recoverable. The Company believes that no further liability shall arise requiring any adjustment in these financial
statements at this stage.
40. In an earlier year, the Company purchased 49% equity shares in three associate companies at Rs. 107,941,600, of which Rs.
61,284,600 was payable as initial consideration, Rs. 8,245,000 was to be paid within 30 days of receiving techno-economic
clearance (‘TEC’) and balance Rs. 38,412,000 to be paid within 30 days of receipt of the first disbursal of capital subsidy,
which was further split into additional milestones based on amendments to Share Purchase and Shareholders Agreement. The
investment in shares in these three associate companies amounted to Rs. 69,529,599 on account of payments made as part
purchase consideration on achievement of certain milestones as stipulated in the respective agreements. The Company had
also invested Rs. 20,515,000 in the debentures of these associate companies till 31 March 2015 and had given advances of Rs.
2,954,770 till 31 March 2015.
During the previous year, the Company had decided not to pursue these projects in hydro power. Accordingly, the Company
has made provision, for diminution in relation to investments in equity shares of Rs. 69,529,599 and debentures of Rs.
20,515,000 of the above mentioned associate companies and, against advances recoverable of Rs. 2,954,770 from such
associate companies (disclosed under exceptional items).

shall arise requiring any adjustment in these financial statements at this stage.

Company had assigned all rights, interest and obligations arising out of above agreements to nine of its subsidiaries
(GIWEDL, GIWEEL, GIWECL, GIWPTL, GIWPVL, GIWPDL, GIWTSL, GIWPSL and GICWEL) incorporated for
undertaking these projects.
During the year, a dispute arose between the vendors and the Company (including its nine subsidiaries) resulting into a claim
made by the vendors. With a view to settle the dispute, the Company along with its nine subsidiaries and the vendors entered
into a revised Definitive agreement and a Settlement Agreement dated December 12, 2015 (“Revised Agreements”).
Consequent to the signing of Revised Agreements, the original agreements were terminated. As per the terms of the Revised
Agreements, the Group intended to pursue projects equivalent to 258 MW instead of 490.5 MW which was envisaged in the
original agreements. Further as per the Revised Agreements, the outstanding advances recoverable from the vendors would be
adjusted towards the consideration payable on the completion of milestones for the projects to be pursued (258 MW). It was
also agreed that cost already incurred (amounting to Rs. 146,796,877) on some of the projects not to be pursued would be
adjusted against the cost of the remaining projects to be pursued (258 MW), subject to fulfillment of certain conditions by the
Company and its subsidiaries as per the terms of the Revised Agreements.
Subsequently, due to non-fulfillment of above referred conditions, the Group, on a prudent basis, decided to recognise an
impairment provision amounting to Rs. 146,796,877 against the capital work-in-progress of the relevant projects (disclosed as
an exceptional item), while the negotiations with the relevant vendors with regard to financial implication of non-fulfillment
of conditions are still in progress. The Group believes that no further liability shall arise requiring any adjustment in these
financial statements at this stage.
As at the year end, one of the subsidiary company GICWEL has an outstanding advance amounting to Rs. 218,122,913,
which is adjustable against the consideration to be paid to the vendors towards future development of 84 MW project (out of
total 258 MW). The Group believes that this amount is fully adjustable against the project (84MW) to be pursued as per the
contractual terms of the Revised Agreements and, hence, no provision is required to be made against this advance
recoverable.
During the year, the Group also re-assessed the sustainability of 93 MW projects (out of 258 MW) based on various factors
including rate of return, energy prices and other technical factors. Based on such reassessment, the Group decided not to
pursue these projects. Consequently, the Group has recognised an impairment loss amounting to Rs. 256,450,972 towards
related capital work in progress (disclosed as an exceptional item). The Group has also written-off advances extended to
vendors amounting to Rs. 44,954,256 in relation to these projects (disclosed as an exceptional item).
43. In an earlier years, one of the subsidiary company, GIWEPL had given Rs. 54,000,000 as contribution towards common
power evacuation facility charges for its Gude wind farm project to its project developer. As per the Power Generation from
Non-Conventional Energy Sources New Policy, 2008, 50% of the expenditure incurred for the erection and commissioning of
the evacuation arrangement shall be refundable by Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) after one year from the date
of commissioning of the evacuation arrangement. The balance 50% of the contribution (Rs. 27,000,000) has been considered
as non-refundable by the management and accordingly had been capitalised in earlier years.
In respect of remaining 50% amount i.e. Rs. 27,000,000, GIWEPL has entered into an agreement with the developer whereby
the developer has agreed to refund the said amount to GIWEPL on receipt from MSEB. The management is currently in
discussion with the developer for refund and, basis thereof, believes that no adjustments are required to be made in this regard
in the consolidated financial statements and the entire amount is disclosed as 'Long-term loans and advances' under Note 14 of
the financial statements.
44. During the previous year, one of the subsidiary company GIWFAL allotted 500, 12% Non-Convertible Debentures of face
value of Rs. 1,000,000 each and such debentures have also been listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. GIWFAL has
transferred Rs. 57,013 (March 31, 2015:Rs. 124,942,987) to ‘Debenture Redemption Reserve’ (DRR) out of profits available

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for distribution of dividends, as required under section 71 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with rule 18 under Companies
(Share capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014.
45. In earlier years, one of the subsidiary companies, GIWVL, was allocated licenses for 450 MW projects in the state of Madhya
Pradesh. During the year, work for 220 KV line and bay extension in relation to 100 MW out of 450 MW project license has
been started jointly with by other party for which an Evacuation Infrastructure Development Agreement (EIDA) agreement
has been signed. As per the agreement the cost is to be shared in equal proportion by other party and the Group, for which an
Escrow account has been opened. An amount of Rs. 282,600,000 has been transferred by each of the parties in the Escrow
account so that payments related to work can be made accordingly. Further, land has been purchased which is registered in the
name of both the parties for execution of 220 KV line and bay extension work.
46. ‘Other Income’ in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss includes Rs. 607,646,243 being contractual liquidated
damages claimed from certain EPC vendors based on the terms of the relevant agreements. These claims for liquidated
damages has been duly accepted by the respective vendors.
47. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are setting up / have recently set up power projects and have currently incurred losses.
The management of the Company has committed to provide continued operational and financial support to its subsidiaries to
meet their working capital and other financing requirements. Based on approved financial projections of these subsidiaries,
management of the Company believes that no adjustments are required to the carrying amount of fixed assets on account of
impairment except as already made in the these consolidated financial statements.
48. During the current year, GICSL has accounted for upfront fees in relation to certain borrowings, on effective interest rate
basis which was entirely capitalised in the previous year. Consequently, an amount of Rs. 235,108,200 has been reduced from
the carrying amount of the plant and machinery/capital work-in-progress, with a corresponding recognition of ‘Unamortised
ancilliary borrowing cost’ (under ‘Other assets’). Consequent to this adjustment, the ‘Finance costs’ for the year is increased
by Rs. 1,348,301 pertaining to previous year and depreciation expense for the year is reduced by Rs. 1,262,110 pertaining to
previous year.
Further, in respect of GIWFAL, interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2016 is net-off of Rs. 11,032,000, pertaining to
upfront fee in relation to a borrowing taken from a financial institution, which was completely charged off to the Statement of
Profit and Loss in the previous year and is now being amortised at effective interest rate over the period of the borrowing.
49. During the current year, the Group has accounted for asset retirement obligation amounting to Rs. 268,525,000 with a
corresponding increase in the carrying amount of its fixed assets (plant and machinery). On this increased cost, depreciation
has been charged at CERC rates retrospectively from the date of capitalisation of such assets. Consequently, an amount of Rs.
42,379,419 (including Rs. 28,131,117 pertaining to earlier years) has been debited to Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss in the current year ended 31 March 2016.
50. As at March 31, 2016, there are no outstanding dues to micro and small enterprises (March 31, 2015: Nil). There are no
interests due or outstanding on the same.
51. The Group has established a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer
pricing legislation under Section 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management is of the opinion that the aforesaid
legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of
provision for taxation.
52. As per the terms of Wheeling agreement signed by Tamil Nadu electricity Board, the Group has receivables from Tamil Nadu
Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) against unutilised banked balance units in respect of few of
its group captive users amounting to Rs. 1,909,612 outstanding as at March 31, 2016 (31 March 2015: 1,686,322).
The Group is regularly following up with TANGEDCO for collection of its outstanding dues and the management is
confident that the said amount is good of recovery and will be received shortly. Thus, no adjustments have been considered
necessary in these financial statements in this regard.

the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our
“Financial Statements of our Company - Restated Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Financial Statements
of our Company - Restated Standalone Financial Statements” and “Summary Financial Information of our
Company” on pages 200, 286 and 49, respectively. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and
reflects our current views with respect to future events and our financial performance and involves numerous
risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on
page 16. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements and for
further details regarding forward-looking statements kindly refer to the section entitled “Forward-Looking
Statements” on page 15. Unless otherwise stated, the financial information of our Company used in this section
has been derived from the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.
Unless indicated otherwise, the financial information included herein is based on our Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements as of and for the Fiscal ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, and for the six months ended
September 30, 2017. We did not have subsidiaries in Fiscal 2015 or for any year prior to that and we did not
prepare any consolidated financial statements for such periods. Unless indicated otherwise, the financial
information as of and for the Fiscal ended March 31, 2015 is based on the Restated Standalone Financial
Statements. Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements are based on our consolidated financial statements
and our Restated Standalone Financial Statements are based on our standalone financial statements, and are
restated in accordance with the Companies Act and the SEBI Regulations.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards
(“IndAS”) as prescribed under the Companies Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules
2015 and in accordance with the SEBI Circular dated March 31, 2016. Our financial statements as of and for the
Fiscal ended March 31, 2017 and the six months ended September 30, 2017 were prepared in accordance with
IndAS. Our financial statements as of and for the Fiscal ended March 31, 2016 were prepared in accordance with
IndAS being the comparative period for the year ended March 31, 2017. Our Restated Standalone Financial
Statements as of and for the Fiscal ended March 31, 2015 were prepared in accordance with accounting standards
under the Companies Act and the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (“Indian GAAP”), and have been restated
for comparative purposes as per IndAS on a proforma basis to align accounting policies, exemptions and
disclosures adopted for the preparation of the first IndAS financial statements for the Fiscal ended March 31,
2017. Unless indicated otherwise, the discussion in this section on financial information as and for the Fiscal

Overview
We are a leading IPP in India, led by a strong management team with extensive experience and a successful track
record of identifying, developing and operating power generation assets across the thermal and renewable power
sectors in India. As of December 31, 2017, we had a total power generation capacity of approximately 4.07 GW,
comprising approximately 3.57 GW of operating generation capacity and 0.50 GW of generating capacity under
construction. Additionally we have been informed by SECI that we have been awarded an additional 0.30 GW of
wind power capacity in the third SECI wind power auction conducted in February 2018, taking our overall power
generation capacity to approximately 4.37 GW. We have a well-balanced and diversified portfolio of power assets,
which together provide cash flow stability, growth and potential profitability upside. As of December 31, 2017,
our portfolio comprised:
two fully-operational thermal power assets with four 0.66 GW supercritical coal-fired units, having a total
power generation capacity of 2.64 GW located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India;
34 wind energy assets with a total power generation capacity of approximately 1.39 GW located across seven
states in India; this includes approximately 0.50 GW in two wind power assets that we are currently
constructing in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, India; and
three solar power assets with a total power generation capacity of 0.04 GW located in the states of Rajasthan
and Gujarat, India.
We sell power generated from our operational assets under a combination of long-term and short-term PPAs to
central government agencies, DISCOMs, private customers, as well as on the spot market. Over 62% of our total
capacity (over 96% of our renewables capacity and over 40% of our thermal capacity) is under long-term PPAs
with DISCOMs, private customers and power trading companies, ensuring stability of cash flows and potential
upside in a tightening power market.
We are promoted by SCU, which is part of the Sembcorp group and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCI, which is
listed on the main board of the Singapore Exchange. The Sembcorp group is a global conglomerate present across
in 15 countries across five continents, with businesses in energy, water, on-site logistics, marine and urban
development. Globally, the Sembcorp group has facilities with approximately 11 GW of gross power capacity
and water and wastewater treatment plants with a combined capacity of approximately nine million cubic meters
per day. The Sembcorp group is a developer and provider of energy, steam, water, natural gas and on-site logistics
solutions serving both industrial and municipal customers. The Sembcorp group’s capabilities extend across
diverse fuel sources such as natural gas, coal and renewables. It has an established track record in executing large-
scale greenfield energy and water projects globally. Our management processes, including our commitment to the
environment and sustainability, aim to reflect the robust governance practices of the Sembcorp group.
We are currently operating in the growing Indian energy market, where we are well-positioned to benefit from
positive market trends. According to CRISIL, the current scenario of peak power surplus is expected to reverse
by Fiscal 2020 resulting in a peak power deficit that is expected to grow to approximately 5% by Fiscal 2021.
This is due to a number of factors, including favorable GoI regulations and policies, GoI’s strong commitment
towards electrification of households and transportation, growth in the Indian economy, and increasing
urbanization and industrialization. The tightening power supply-demand balance is resulting in an increase in
thermal power tariffs, which will enable us to contract a little over half of our open thermal capacity at higher
tariffs with creditworthy DISCOMs in rapidly growing states. In the renewable energy sector, competitive bidding
through reverse auctions enables developers with strong engineering and operating capabilities like us to secure
large capacities with creditworthy customers. Our competitiveness is demonstrated by the fact that we are the
largest cumulative winner to date to win 0.80 GW of wind power capacity in the recent three wind power auctions
conducted by SECI in 2017 and 2018, according to CRISIL. See “Industry – Recent development in renewable
energy” on page 98 for more details on the recent SECI wind bids. Our capabilities position us well for future
growth, keeping in view GoI’s commitment to achieving 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022.
Furthermore, the trend of growing transparency across the Indian power sector in the form of open power auctions,
transparent coal allocation, and publication of performance data, benefits players such as us with financial strength
and robust corporate governance practices.
Our thermal power assets, the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant, located on the eastern coast of
southern India, are designed for more sustainable power production. Our thermal power assets are based on
supercritical power generation technology, which allows them to operate at lower emission levels compared to
594
subcritical power plants. They use sea water for their power generation operations, which eliminates the need to
use precious ground water. All of our coal is transported through coastal and trans-ocean shipping, with last-mile
connectivity through two closed-pipe coal conveyor belt systems. This assures safety, reliability and
environmental compliance of our coal logistics. We have also ensured the reliability and cost competitiveness of
our thermal power assets through a number of measures. Our thermal power assets are designed for a wide range
of coal grades, which that allows us to source coal cost-effectively. The supercritical technology that we use is
well-suited to effectively cope with the intra-day demand swings prevalent in India. Our FSA for the supply of
domestic coal with MCL, a subsidiary of CIL, and with reputable suppliers of imported coal in Indonesia, South
Africa and other countries, ensure reliable access to low-cost coal from diverse sources and insulates us from coal
shortages in India. Our thermal power assets are located close to the Krishnapatnam port, a deep-water port,
allowing us to minimize transportation costs by deploying larger ships. Our operating processes also give us the
capability to run our plants at optimal heat rates with minimum auxiliary consumption. These factors have helped
us and SGPL achieve an average PLF of 85.43% and 75.63% at the SEIL Power Plant and the SGPL Power Plant
respectively for the period between April and December 2017, which is well above the market average of 60%
for the same period, according to the CEA Monthly Generation Reports.
We operate renewable power assets across seven states in India through SGIL, which we recently acquired. This
has given us deep experience in site selection, project development, commissioning, operations and optimization,
power contracting, financing and receivables management across the country. With recent forays into in-house
EPC and in-house O&M, we are further strengthening our capabilities and competitiveness. We work with a
diversified set of high quality equipment suppliers, in order to evaluate, select and deploy the latest technology
equipment on an arms-length basis to be cost competitive in our chosen location. We believe that we have the
ability to maximize production and availability of our wind power assets through constant, active equipment
performance optimization and monitoring, which improves our asset viability and margin. We have adopted the
Sembcorp group’s stringent criteria for asset selection, with a disciplined bidding approach that includes
comprehensive risk assessments to protect returns. Based on our capabilities, we have been successful in building
up a wind portfolio of 0.89 GW comprising 604 wind turbines with an average PLF of 22.24% and 22.75% for
the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our competitiveness is also
evidenced by our track record in the recent SECI wind auctions in 2017 where we secured an additional 0.50 GW
of long-term PPAs with SECI and PTC India Limited. We were also successful in acquiring an additional 0.30
GW of wind power capacity in the recent wind power auctions conducted by SECI in February 2018.
Finally, across our renewable and thermal businesses, our policy is to maintain a prudent, conservative capital
structure. This is evidenced by our low debt-to-equity ratio of 66:34 on a proforma basis after giving effect to the
Corporate Reorganization as of September 30, 2017, with our cost of borrowing for our renewable and thermal
businesses being 9.61% (including short-term loans and letters of credit) and 9.20%, respectively. We intend to
continue to manage an efficient capital structure, with the future capital requirements of our growth projects being
funded through operating cash flows from our thermal and renewable power business after servicing existing debt
and external financing.
Corporate reorganization
Until February 2018, we only had one operating asset, the SEIL Power Plant consisting of two operating 660 MW
units. In February 2018, through the Corporate Reorganization (as defined below), Sembcorp group’s thermal
power and renewable energy assets in India were consolidated under our Company. As a result of the Corporate
Reorganization that became effective in February 2018, our Company acquired 100% of the equity shares of
SGPL and SGIL (the “Corporate Reorganization”). Accordingly, SGPL’s thermal power plant and SGIL’s
diversified portfolio of wind and solar assets in India, comprising assets in operation and under construction form
a part of our consolidated assets. Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus relate to periods prior to the Corporate Reorganization and therefore only include the financial
results of the SEIL Power Plant. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, this section discusses financial information
of our Company prior to the Corporate Reorganization. See “Financial Statements of our Company - Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 286 for our financial statements prior to the Corporate
Reorganization. See “History and other Corporate Matters – Corporate Reorganization” on page 155 for more
details on the Corporate Reorganization. See “Business – Corporate Reorganization” on page 121 for our
shareholding structure after the Corporate Reorganization.
We have included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements for the six
months ended September 30, 2017, as of and for the Fiscal ended March 31, 2017 of our Company, which shows
595
the impact of the Corporate Reorganization on our Company as if the Corporate Reorganization had occurred on
April 1, 2016. See “Proforma Condensed Financial Statements” on page 343.
We have also included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus separate SGPL’s Financial Statements as of and for

We have listed below the key factors, which have affected and are expected to continue to affect the results of
operations of our thermal power business prior to and following the Corporate Reorganization, as well as the key
factors which we expect will affect the results of operations of our renewable power business that we acquired in
February 2018 through the Corporate Reorganization.
As our thermal power assets are coal-fired thermal power plants, fluctuations in coal prices, disruptions in coal
supply and the sufficiency of coal transportation resources could materially affect our results of operations. Our
thermal power assets are designed to utilize a mix of domestic and imported coal for their operations. We source
our domestic coal from MCL and engage with international suppliers, such as PT Bayan Resources Tbk, Indonesia
for our imported coal requirements.
The cost of coal generally varies by source due to differences in calorific value, ash content, moisture, volatile
matter and other coal properties, including fluctuations in benchmark indices with respect to imported coal,
distance from coalmines to the ultimate consumption plant and other general market forces. As domestic coal
prices are set by CIL, our operational and financial flexibility in relation to our domestic coal supply is
limited. Coal prices set by CIL may not track international coal price movements. The price of coal under
our FSAs with MCL consists of a notified base price and other charges, including transportation charges, sizing,
crushing, rapid loading charges and statutory charges. The availability and cost of imported coal is subject to
volatility based on global commodity markets, available coal reserves, the quality and grade of coal
available and other factors that may be beyond our control. A substantial portion of our coal cost is recoverable
as it is either passed through to our customers or recoverable in the form of fuel cost escalation under our long-
term PPAs. As a result, we are not exposed to significant risks relating to coal price fluctuations. While we have
entered into an FSA with MCL for the supply of domestic coal to the SGPL Power Plant, it will only become
effective when we enter into a long-term PPA for the supply of power generated at the SGPL Power Plant.
For the SGPL Power Plant, we currently rely only on imported coal for its operation. See “Business – SEIL
Power Plant – coal and water supply” and “Business – SGPL Power Plant – coal and water supply” on
pages 130 and 132, respectively for more details on our coal supply arrangements.
As a part of our inventory management, we generally maintain coal stock that is commensurate with our power
generation operations. As we only rely on a few coal suppliers for our long-term coal requirements, we are exposed
to coal supply risks if there is a disruption in coal supply. In the event that any of our coal suppliers are unable to
make coal deliveries as planned we may be forced to purchase coal from alternative suppliers at higher prices or
at a quality or quantity lower than prescribed in our coal supply plan. See “Risk Factors - interruptions in coal
596
supply or an increase in the cost of coal may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operation and cash flow” on page 16 for risks associated with our coal supply arrangements.
We depend on the sale of electricity to certain key customers, and our operations are highly dependent upon such
customers fulfilling their contractual obligations under the relevant PPAs. We sell power generated at our thermal
power assets to central government agencies, state DISCOMs, private customers and the spot market, under long-
term and short-term PPAs.
Long-term PPAs
As of December 31, 2017, over 40% of our total thermal capacity is contracted under long-term PPAs with state
DISCOMs. Only power generated at the 1,320.00 MW SEIL Power Plant is sold under long-term PPAs and we
intend to contract a certain portion of our remaining thermal capacity at the SEIL Power Plant and the power
generated at our SGPL Power Plant under long-term PPAs with state DISCOMs. Our profitability is largely a
function of our ability to manage our costs during the term of our PPAs and our ability to operate our thermal
power assets at optimal levels.
We have entered into two long-term PPAs for the supply of power generated at the SEIL Power Plant to state
DISCOMs. The 500 MW PPA and the 570 MW PPA relating to the SEIL Power Plant expire on April 19, 2040
and March 30, 2024, respectively. The tariff payable under the 500 MW PPA comprises energy charges, inland
transportation charges and capacity charges, which are both escalable and non-escalable in the proportion
mentioned in the 500 MW PPA. The escalable component of capacity charges and energy charges are revised on
a six monthly basis as per the escalation rates published by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(“CERC”). The tariff payable under the 570 MW PPA comprises fixed charges and fuel charges incurred by us
for the supply of electricity. The quoted fixed charge is paid for the first year of supply, which is revised annually
based on the wholesale price index as per the terms of PPA.
The non-escalable component of the tariff is fixed which mainly depends on the capital cost of the asset. Typically,
the fixed component enables the generation facility to recover fixed expenses and earn a return on investment at
the assured level of PLF. The fixed component of the tariff comprises operation and maintenance expenses,
depreciation, interest on working capital and long-term debt, income tax and return on equity. The escalable
component of the tariff is a variable charge that varies according to the inflation rate in India, fuel costs and other
related costs.
We operate our power assets under an availability-based tariff regime, which incentivizes us to provide the highest
possible system reliability. The SEIL Power Plant is eligible for incentives if its availability exceeds 85.00% and
90% under the 500 MW PPA and 570 MW PPA, respectively in a contracted year. However if the availability is
lower than that prescribed under the PPAs, a penalty is imposed.
See “Business – SEIL Power Plant – power off-take arrangements” on page 130 for more details on our long-
term PPAs.
We sell our remaining 170.00 MW of power generated at the SEIL Power Plant under short-term PPAs and on
the sport market to state DISCOMS, private customers and power distribution companies. We sell power
generated at the SGPL Power Plant under two short-term PPAs and have also received letters of intents and letters
of award from state DISCOMs and power trading companies for the supply of power generated at the SGPL Power
Plant. Short-term PPAs generally have a term ranging from a few of days to three years. The tariffs under short-
term PPAs are generally fixed. See “Business – SEIL Power Plant – power off-take arrangements” and
“Business – SGPL Power Plant – power off-take arrangements” on pages 130 and 132, respectively for more
details on our short-term PPAs for our thermal power assets.
These short-term PPAs may create additional variability in our revenues and could expose our business to risks
of market fluctuations in the demand for, and the price of power. For power sold on the spot market, the tariff is
determined based on the prevailing demand and supply conditions and price fluctuations. Our profitability depends
on our ability to enter into short-term PPAs on favorable terms, our ability to predict spot prices and contract our
thermal capacity in accordance with fluctuating demand for power.
597
See “Risk Factors – “Our PPAs may expose us to certain risks that may affect our future results of operations
and cash flows” on page 18 for risks associated with our PPAs.
Our results of operations are materially influenced by the degree to which we operate our assets in order to achieve
maximum generation volumes. We focus on a number of factors in monitoring the performance of our thermal
power assets, including fuel efficiency of power generation, PLF, percentage of time that the facilities are available
for power generation and number of unplanned outages. Generally, the closer to full capacity a facility operates,
the more quickly investment costs can be recovered. Any slowdown or stoppage in operations will result in a
decrease in utilization hours as well as sales and increase in repair and maintenance expenses. The level of
operational efficiency that an asset is able to attain also depends on a number of other factors, including normal
degradation of the generating units and the quality of repairs and O&M services performed on the assets. Our
operation and maintenance costs primarily include employee benefit costs, and other expenses such as
consumption of stores, spares and consumables, insurance, repairs and maintenance and security expenses.
We believe the Indian economy will continue to grow over the next few years. The GoI and State Governments
have linked improved infrastructure in the energy, transportation and industrial sectors as the platform for
promoting and sustaining economic growth. We believe that the GoI’s focus on, and sustained increases in
budgetary allocations for power and the development of more structured and comprehensive infrastructure policies
as well as greater availability of funding for power assets from international and multi-lateral development
financial institutions, should result in further power projects in India. We believe our business is a likely
beneficiary of significant investment in power to improve power infrastructure. As a result, macroeconomic
factors in India such as interest rates, government budgetary allocations for power projects, government priorities
with respect to infrastructure development, controlled emission and environment protection and capital
expenditure by the private sector will determine the number and nature of power projects, which will in turn have
a significant impact on our prospects and operating results.
The growth of the power industry in India and of our business is dependent on stable government policies and
prudent regulations. Changes in government policies have facilitated the rapid sustainable growth in the Indian
power sector. For example, the GoI recently required all power plants to implement the flue gas desulphurization
processes in their operations in its effort to achieve environmentally sustainable power growth. Power sector
reforms therefore have a direct impact on our results of operations.
Macroeconomic conditions
Our results of operations may be materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy
generally in India and elsewhere around the world. Weak economic conditions in the markets or a reduction in
consumer spending, as well as investment in capital goods could affect our profitability, including increased costs.
Furthermore, lack of availability of affordable credit in financial markets may cause our suppliers to experience
serious cash flow problems and, as a result, may delay delivery of our orders.
We are operating in a robust energy market and are well positioned to benefit from positive market trends. CRISIL
expects the power deficit to grow to approximately 5% by Fiscal 2022 and the current scenario of peak surplus to
reverse by Fiscal 2020. According to CRISIL, the demand for power in India is expected to increase steadily
because of a number of factors, including positive regulatory and policy changes by the GoI, growth in the Indian
economy and increasing urbanization, industrialization and penetration of technology in the power sector. GoI
initiatives such as the ‘24x7 Power for All’ project, the ‘Make in India’ initiative and the development of ‘smart
cities’ will encourage demand for electricity in India. See “Industry” on page 98 for more details on these
initiatives.
All of these factors may significantly affect our thermal business and results of operations.
Weather conditions can have a significant effect on our renewable power business. The profitability of our wind
and solar power assets is directly correlated to wind and solar conditions at our asset sites. Variations in wind
conditions occur because of fluctuations in wind currents on a daily, monthly and seasonal basis and, over the
598
long-term, as a result of more general climate changes. In particular, wind conditions are generally tied to the
monsoon season in India and are impacted by the strength of each particular monsoon season. During the period
from March to September, which includes the monsoon season in several parts of India, we generate a majority
of our annual production during this period. Weather patterns are likely to have an influence on wind patterns in
the states in which we operate and, consequently on the resources generated by our wind power assets. Unlike
wind resources, which are concentrated in specific regions and sensitive to the monsoon season, solar power
generation is available across India throughout most of the year, according to CRISIL.
See “Risk Factors - Seasonality, wind, and solar conditions could cause fluctuations in our business, which
could have a material impact on our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations” On page 16 for
risks relating to the impact of seasonality and weather conditions on our operations.
Financing requirements
Energy project development and construction are capital intensive. We incur costs and expenses for the purchase
of turbines and other power related equipment, the purchase of land, feasibility studies and construction costs. As
a result, our ability to access cost-effective financing is crucial to our growth strategy. While we expect to fund
construction of new renewable assets with a combination of cash flows from operations and debt financing, our
ability to arrange for such financing remains subject to factors affecting the macro-economic environment. If we
decide to raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest obligations will increase, which could
significantly affect financial measures such as our earnings per share. Demand for qualified labor and components
in our industry has increased over the last few years. This has increased the costs of construction and maintenance
of power generation assets. Capital expenditures are necessary to maintain and improve the operating conditions
of our assets and meet regulatory and prudential operating standards. Future costs will be highly dependent on the
cost of components and availability of contractors that can perform the necessary work to maintain and improve
our assets, as well as changes in regulations, which could require us to make capital improvements to our assets.
Expenses related to, and incurred during, the construction of a wind power asset are included under capital work
in progress on our balance sheet and are allocated to the respective asset upon completion of its construction.
These include expenses incurred in relation to our employees, depreciation, interest and administrative expenses.
One of the key factors which affects our results of operations is our ability to sell power under long-term PPAs
and short-term PPAs thereby enhancing the security and long-term visibility of our revenues and limiting the
impact of market price variability on our revenues. Majority of our renewable power is sold under long-term and
short-term PPAs to state DISCOMs and group captive customers. The initial term of these PPAs generally ranges
from three to 25 years, typically with an option to renew upon expiry of the initial term. Such PPAs provide us
with assured revenue and off-take through the tenure of the PPA. Our PPAs with state DISCOMs are generally
based on feed-in tariffs. Feed-in tariffs are fixed tariffs set by State Electricity Regulatory Commission (“SERC”)
for the life of the PPA. PPAs based on feed-in tariffs provide greater downside protection but do not adjust for
inflation. Tariff under our PPAs with group captive customers is generally fixed. However, if certain portion of
our contracted capacity is not purchased by the concerned group captive customer, the unpurchased capacity, at
the end of each fiscal year will be sold based on the average pooled purchase tariff which is variable. See “
Business – Wind Power Business – Power off-take arrangements” and “Business – Solar Power Business –
Power off-take arrangements” on pages 133 and 139, respectively.
Our results of operations are materially influenced by the degree to which we operate our assets in order to achieve
maximum generation volumes. We intend to achieve growth by improving the availability and capacity of our
assets while minimizing planned and unplanned asset downtime. The number and length of planned outages,
undertaken in order to perform necessary inspections and testing to comply with regulations and to permit us to
carry out any maintenance activities, can affect operating results. When possible, we seek to schedule the timing
of planned outages to coincide with periods of relatively low wind speeds at the relevant asset. Likewise,
unplanned outages can negatively affect our operating results, even if such outages are covered by insurance.
India’s physical infrastructure, including its electricity grid, is less developed compared to that of developed
countries. The transmission and dispatch of the full output of our renewable energy assets may be curtailed due
to fluctuating renewable power voltages, causing grid constraints, such as grid congestion and restrictions on
transmission capacity of the grid. For example, due to less developed grid infrastructure where our power assets
599
are established, the electricity generated by wind power assets in such areas may cause frequency disturbances
that may lead to power curtailments, a limitation that we currently face and have historically faced at our
operational wind power assets situated in Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. We may have to stop producing electricity
during the periods when electricity cannot be transmitted due to grid congestion or other grid constraints.
However, in the recent past, many State Governments have implemented forecasting and scheduling mechanisms
where the renewable power producers have to schedule the amount of power, which is going to get generated a
day in advance. Based on this forecasting the DISCOMs provide for enough capacity to wheel the power.
However, if a deviation of more than a stipulated amount of the installed capacity is found then the asset is liable
to be charged a penalty for not forecasting properly. As forecasting results can be received and amended multiple
times a day, chances of deviations and consequent penalties are less. Our results of operations and profitability
depend on the grid infrastructure in India and our ability to forecast the amount of power to be generated. See
“Risk Factors - Any constraints in the availability of the electricity grid, including our inability to obtain access
to transmission lines in a timely and cost-efficient manner, could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and cash flows” on page 20 for risks associated with India’s power evacuation infrastructure.
The following table sets forth the capacity of our renewable energy assets as of March 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017,
and September 30, 2017:
As our business has grown, we have increased our expenditure on general and administrative functions necessary
to support this growth and support our operations. A key driver of our results of operations is our ability to bring
new assets into commercial operation successfully. We were among the two IPPs to win the two wind bids of
250.00 MW each in the recent competitive bidding rounds in February 2017 and October 2017, respectively.
We depend in part on government policies and initiatives that support clean energy and enhance the economic
feasibility of developing renewable energy assets. For several years, India has adopted policies and subsidies
actively supporting clean energy. After March 31, 2017, as per the policy of the GoI, most states in India have
shifted to models based on competitive bidding instead of preferential tariffs, for awarding PPAs. A move towards
competitive bidding may affect the tariffs that renewable energy assets receive under their PPAs, and we cannot
predict the potential impact of such change. Our wind projects that were commissioned before March 31, 2017
are eligible to benefit under generation based incentive scheme which provides incremental incentive of ₹0.50 per
kWh capped at ₹10 million per MW. For solar energy, the tariff is generally determined through competitive
bidding.
These regulatory initiatives have increased demand for clean energy generally and therefore for power generated
by our wind power assets. Regulation also contributes to the revenue received for the power generated by our
assets. The support for renewable energy has been strong in recent years, and the GoI has periodically reaffirmed
its desire to sustain and strengthen that support. The GoI recently announced its aim to achieve 175 GW of
renewable energy power in India by 2020. The GoI’s voluntary commitment at the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change to reduce India’s carbon intensity by 20% to 25% below its 2005 level by 2020,
and the introduction of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (“NAPCC”), are key drivers for increased
demand. The sector has also benefitted from the significant decline in solar panel prices over the last five years
and the improving efficiency of technologically advanced wind turbines with the capability to generate higher
PLFs and operate in less windy areas. These factors, along with the GoI’s initiative of increasing renewable
purchase obligation (“RPO”) targets, has resulted in renewable energy in India becoming more competitive.
Technology enhancements, such as improved onshore and offshore power generation technology, and improved
power storage facilities may increase our capital expenditure, but also lead to increased power generation.
The following significant accounting policies relate to our Company prior to the Corporate Reorganization.
Assumptions, estimation uncertainty and critical judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements are:
600
Impairment of investments: Our Company reviews its value of investments carried at amortized cost annually, or
more frequently when there is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying
amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment: Our Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and
equipment at the end of each reporting period. This assessment may result in change in depreciation expense in
future periods.
Valuation of deferred tax assets: Our Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of
each reporting period.
Defined benefit plans: The cost of benefit gratuity plans, other post-employment benefits and gratuity obligations
are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may
differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting
date. The parameter most likely to be subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount
rate for plans operating in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies
consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly
available mortality tables. These mortality rates tend to change only at intervals in response to demographic
changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Provisions and contingent liabilities: A provision is recognized when our Company has a present obligation,
which is a result of any past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle this
obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and
compensated absences) are not discounted at its present value and is determined based on best estimate required
to settle the obligation as of the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted
to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements. A contingent asset is neither recognized nor disclosed in the Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Freehold land is valued at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost
excluding accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed property, plant and equipment
comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a
working condition for their intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring
the site on which they are located and capitalized borrowing costs. Cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after
deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition
for its intended used and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it
is located. Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful
lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the asset
when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of
the existing asset, will flow to our Company and its costs can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straight-line method based on the useful life as
specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013, except in case of plant and machinery where the estimated
useful life has been considered as 25 years, which the Management believes best represents the assessment. The
residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end
601
of each fiscal year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate disposals are provided on a pro-rata basis that is from
the date on which asset is ready for use.
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as
investment property.
In determining the fair value of financial instruments, our Company relies on the following fair value hierarchy,
which follows assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is disclosed in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements are
categorized in fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements on a recurring
basis, our Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
the categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at
the end of each reporting period.
Our Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes
are generally recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. At inception of designated hedging relationships,
our Company documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Our Company
also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether
the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities, which are not designated as hedges. Any derivative that
is either not designated as a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective, is categorized as a financial asset or
financial liability, at fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss. Derivatives not designated as hedges are
recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of
profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value
through profit or loss and the resulting gains or losses are included in statement of profit and loss.
Where a derivative is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognized asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or
loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in other
comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The ineffective portion of changes in the
fair values of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets
the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument
expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in
cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the
forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve
is transferred to the net profit in the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted
transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow
hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of profit and loss.
602
Impairment
Our Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is
impaired. IndAS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. Our Company
recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a
financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the
12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on
the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
Non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there
is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset
basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such
cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. If
the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of
profit and loss.
Inventories
Inventories which comprise of fuel, stores and spares are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated
costs of completion and selling expenses.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to our Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the
fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment.
Sales tax, value added tax and service tax is not received by our Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax
collected on value added to the commodity or service rendered by the seller on behalf of the government.
Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue. Revenue from energy units sold as per the terms of the PPA and Letter
of Intent is recognized on an accrual basis and includes unbilled revenue accrued up to the end of the accounting
year. Revenue from energy units sold on a merchant basis is recognized in accordance with billings made to
customers based on the units of energy delivered and the rate agreed with the customers. Revenue from
unscheduled interchange for the deviation in generation with respect to scheduled generation are recognized at
rates notified by the CERC from time to time as revenue from sale of electricity and adjusted with revenue from
sale of electricity. Revenue from electrical energy transmission charges is recognized on an accrual basis in
accordance with the provisions of transmission service agreements. Our Company accounts for fuel and power
purchase price adjustment claims as and when they are allowed by the regulatory authorities. Claims for delayed
payment charges and any other claims, which our Company is entitled to under the PPAs, are accounted for in the
year of acceptance by the customers.
Interest income is recognized based on effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognized when the
unconditional right to receive the income is established.
The following descriptions set forth information with respect to the key components of our Statement of Profit
and Loss included in our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements as per IndAS. Our Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus relate to period prior to the Corporate
Reorganization and therefore only include the financial results of the two 660.00 MW operating units at the SEIL
Power Plant. Please see the “Proforma Condensed Financial Statements” on page 343, which shows the impact
of the Corporate Reorganization on our Company as if the Corporate Reorganization had occurred on April 1,
2016.
603
Revenue
Our revenue from operations primarily consists of revenue from the sale of electricity. We also earn revenue from
the sale of fly ash.
Revenue from sale of electricity primarily consists of revenue from the sale of power generated at the SEIL Power
Plant to state DISCOMs under the 500 MW PPA and 570 MW PPA. The power generated from the remaining
170.00 MW of power generating capacity at the SEIL Power Plant is sold to private customers under short-term
PPAs and on the spot market. Tariffs under the long-term PPAs with state DISCOMs generally include capacity
charges and energy charges as well as incentives on defined parameters. Our short-term PPAs are with state
DISCOMs and private customers and the tariff under these PPAs are generally fixed. For power sold on the spot
market, the tariff is determined on the basis of the prevailing demand and supply conditions.
Other Income
Our other income consists primarily of interest income, unwinding of discount on margin money deposits,
miscellaneous income and gains on derivative contracts.
Expenses
Our expenses consist of cost of fuel, purchase of inventory, transmission charges, employee benefit expenses,
finance costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses.
Cost of fuel
Our fuel cost primarily includes costs of coal for power generation at the SEIL Power Plant.

We operate two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant which commenced commercial operation in Fiscal
2016. The two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant were operational for the entirety of Fiscal 2017, as
compared to Fiscal 2016 where one 660.00 MW unit was operational for the entire financial year and the second
660.00 MW unit was operational for six months. Accordingly, our results of operations are not strictly comparable
between these two periods.
Revenue
Total income increased by 41.73% to ₹34,184.90 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹24,119.59 million in Fiscal 2016.
Revenue from operations increased by 41.96% to ₹34,054.05 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹23,987.85 million in
Fiscal 2016, primarily due to increase in the sale of electricity resulting from an increase in power generation at
the SEIL Power Plant. The two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant were operational for the entirety of
Fiscal 2017, as compared to Fiscal 2016 where one 660.00 MW unit was operational for the entire financial year
and the second 660.00 MW unit was operational for only six months. The PLF increased to 78.35% and power
generated at the SEIL Power Plant increased to 9,059.40 MU in Fiscal 2017 from a PLF of 75.11% and power
generation of 6,889.03 MU at the SEIL Power Plant in Fiscal 2016.
Other income decreased marginally by 0.68% to ₹130.85 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 131.74 million in Fiscal
2016 primarily due to a decrease in interest income by ₹11.22 million in Fiscal 2017. We also received
miscellaneous income in Fiscal 2017 which includes income from sale of fly ash and scrap of ₹10.00 million.
Expenses
Total expenses increased by 36.82% to ₹34,620.57 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹25,303.02 million in Fiscal 2016.
Cost of fuel increased by 44.10% to ₹17,438.05 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹12,101.27 million in Fiscal 2016,
primarily because of increase in coal consumption at the SEIL Power Plant as the two 660.00 MW units were
operational for the entirety of Fiscal 2017 compared to the 660.00 MW units operating for the 12 months and six
months, respectively in Fiscal 2016 and also increase in coal prices during the period. As a percentage of total
income our cost of fuel increased to 51.01% in Fiscal 2017 from 50.17% in Fiscal 2016.
Transmission charges decreased by 36.49% to ₹398.10 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹626.87 million in Fiscal
2016, primarily due to increase in power supplied under long-term PPAs in Fiscal 2017. Under long-term PPAs,
we were able to recover the corresponding transmission charges. As a percentage of total income, our transmission
charges decreased to 1.16% in Fiscal 2017 from 2.60% in Fiscal 2016.
606
Finance costs increased by 40.35% to ₹10,722.00 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹7,639.25 million in Fiscal 2016,
primarily due to partial capitalization of our interest cost in Fiscal 2017 with respect to our project loans. We
incurred borrowing costs of ₹1,313 million in Fiscal 2017, which includes prepayment charges and upfront fees
paid with respect to our project loans. This increase in finance cost was offset by a loss on derivative contracts of
₹645.58 million in Fiscal 2017. As a percentage of total income, our finance costs decreased to 31.36% in Fiscal
2017 from 31.67% in Fiscal 2016.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 24.70% to ₹3,531.64 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹2,832.13
million in Fiscal 2016, primarily as a result our two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant being operational
for the entirety of Fiscal 2017 as compared to Fiscal 2016, where one 660.00 MW unit was operational for the
entire financial year and the other 660.00 MW unit was operational for six months. Depreciation and amortization
expenses also included an increase in capitalization of building costs and exchange rate variations on our long-
term borrowings. As a percentage of total income our depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 10.33%
in Fiscal 2017 from 11.74% in Fiscal 2016.
Employee benefit expenses increased by 10.50% to ₹510.90 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹462.37 million in Fiscal
2016, as the two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant were operational for the entirety of Fiscal 2017. In
Fiscal 2016 our staff costs for six months was capitalized as the second 660.00 MW unit was commissioned in
September 2015. As a result, we recorded an increase in salaries, wages and bonus expenses, and contribution to
provident funds and other employee benefit fund in Fiscal 2017. As a percentage of total income, our employee
benefit expenses decreased to 1.49% in Fiscal 2017 from 1.92% in Fiscal 2016 due to increased revenue.
Other expenses increased by 23.08% to ₹2,019.88 million in Fiscal 2017 from ₹1,641.13 million in Fiscal 2016,
primarily due to increase in repair and maintenance costs by ₹176.67 million and foreign exchange fluctuation
costs by ₹96.01 million. Our insurance costs increased by ₹93.73 million to ₹201.18 million in Fiscal 2017 from
₹107.45 million in Fiscal 2016. These costs increased primarily because of our two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL
Power Plant being operational for the entirety of Fiscal 2017.
As a result of the factors discussed above, our loss after tax was ₹435.67 million in Fiscal 2017 as compared to a
loss after tax of ₹1,197.62 million in Fiscal 2016.
The two 660.00 MW units at the SEIL Power Plant started commercial operation in Fiscal 2016. We had no
revenue from operations in Fiscal 2015. The section below highlights only the key financial metrics from Fiscal
2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were ₹1,203.68 million on consolidated basis. Our
financing requirements are primarily for:
investments in existing and new assets, and related capital expenditure; and
We fund our operations and capital requirements primarily through cash flows from operations, borrowings under
credit facilities from banks and other financial institutions, and equity and promoters’ debt when required. We
expect that cash flow from operations and our credit facilities will continue to be our principal sources of cash in
the medium term. However, additional financing might not be available on terms acceptable to us. We evaluate
our funding requirements periodically in light of our net cash flow from operating activities, the progress of our
various assets, acquisition opportunities and market conditions. See “ – Indebtedness” above for further
information.

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and EBITDA
Margin to review and assess our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined
under IndAS and are not presented in accordance with IndAS. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin for our Company
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential inconsistencies
in the method of calculation. We have included EBITDA and EBITDA Margin of our Company because we
believe it is an indicative measure of our operating performance and is used by investors and analysts to evaluate
companies in the same industry. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin of our company should be considered in addition
to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with
IndAS. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments applied in the presentation of EBITDA and
EBITDA Margin of our Company are appropriate because it is a more indicative measure of our baseline
performance as it excludes certain charges that the Company’s management considers to be outside its core
operating results. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to
IndAS measures of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results
of operation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation

applied in the presentation of pro forma EBITDA and EBITDA Margin of our Company are appropriate because
it is a more indicative measure of our baseline performance as it excludes certain charges that the Company’s

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, derivative instruments, swap transactions or relationships
with affiliates or other unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that would have been established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Our activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our
overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize
potential adverse effects on our financial performance. Our financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise
loans from banks and financial institutions, non-convertible bonds, demand deposits, short-term bank deposits,
trade and other receivables, available for sale investments, trade and other payables. These risks relate to the
qualitative and quantitative risks that affected our financial position prior to the Corporate Reorganization.
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk with respect to the prices of coal and fuel oil, which are subject to fluctuation based
on commodity prices. Market risk can be further segregated as (i) interest rate risk and (ii) foreign exchange risk.
We are subject to interest rate risk, primarily because some of our borrowings and our deposits of cash and cash
equivalents with banks and other financial institutions are at floating interest rates. As of September 30, 2017,
74.72% of our indebtedness consisted of floating rate indebtedness. We enter into cross currency interest rate
swaps to reduce our exposure to interest rate volatility. In accordance with our policy, the duration of such cross-
currency interest rate swaps generally does not exceed the tenure of the underlying debt.
We face exchange rate risk because certain of our obligations are denominated in foreign currencies. To manage
exchange rate risk, we enter into forward and swap contracts with various counterparties for U.S. dollars.
Liquidity Risk
Our liquidity risk relates to our inability to meet our contractual obligations associated with our financial liabilities
that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset as they fall due. We manage the liquidity risk by
612
having sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring losses or risking damage to our reputation.
We receive the majority of our revenues from state-owned power distribution utilities, which are government
undertakings and hence are considered reasonably recoverable in the future. We are exposed to liquidity risk from
our operating activities (primarily for trade and other receivables) and from our financing activities, including
short-term deposits with banks, and other financial assets. We are exposed to liquidity risk from a limited customer
group on account of the specialized nature of our business that involves the sale of power. We manage our
customer credit risk through our established policies, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk
management. We have adopted a policy of dealing with credit worthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the
risk of financial loss from defaults.
Seasonality
Our thermal business is not subject to seasonality. Weather conditions can have a significant effect on our
renewable business. See “- Impact of weather and seasonality” above for further information.
Other than as described in the sections “Risk Factors”, this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Factors

Analysis of Factors affecting SGIL’s Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 16 and 593,

a material adverse impact on our revenues or income from continuing operations.

In evaluating SGPL’s business, we consider and use non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and
EBITDA Margin to review and assess SGPL’s operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are
not defined under IndAS and are not presented in accordance with IndAS. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin for
SGPL may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential
inconsistencies in the method of calculation. We have included EBITDA and EBITDA Margin of SGPL because
we believe it is an indicative measure of SGPL’s operating performance and is used by investors and analysts to
evaluate companies in the same industry. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin of SGPL should be considered in
addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in
accordance with IndAS. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments applied in the presentation
of EBITDA and EBITDA Margin of SGPL are appropriate because it is a more indicative measure of SGPL’s
baseline performance as it excludes certain charges that SGPL’s management considers to be outside its core
operating results. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to
IndAS measures of performance or as an indicator of SGPL’s operating performance, liquidity, profitability or
results of operation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for the SGPL’s Financial Statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

submitted the project history, shareholding and power consumption details and requested CESCL to issue
necessary order/clarification in the matter. Subsequently, a letter dated January 7, 2015 was received from
CESCL stating that group captive norms were not fulfilled by the Captive Consumer and therefore
GIWPGL was liable to paying cross subsidiary charges and interest at 12% per annum for a total amount
of ₹ 0.36 million. GIWPGL responded to this letter on January 13, 2015 reiterating their earlier arguments
and stating that the demand for ₹ 0.36 million was unwarranted and unlawful, which was responded to by
CESCL by a letter dated February 6, 2015 reasserting its stance taken in the letter dated January 7, 2015
and demanding payment of ₹ 0.36 million. Subsequently, by a letter dated March 17, 2015, GIWPGL
replied to CESCL’s letter dated February 6, 2015, refuting the demand for ₹ 0.36 million on the same
grounds as earlier taken in its letter dated January 13, 2015 to which no further communication has been
received from CESCL.

Individual Shareholders indicating their agreement to Bid for and purchase the Equity Shares at
the Offer Price as determined at the end of the Book Building Process. The maximum Bid
Amount under the Employee Reservation Portion by an Eligible Employee shall not exceed
₹500,000 on a net basis. However, Allotment to an Eligible Employee in the Employee
Reservation Portion may exceed ₹200,000 (which will be less Employee Discount) only in the

portion may be Allotted on a proportionate basis to Eligible Employees Bidding in the

of the RHP/Prospectus. If, however, the RII does not either revise the Bid or make additional
payment and the Offer Price is higher than the cap of the Price Band prior to revision, the
number of Equity Shares Bid for shall be adjusted downwards for the purpose of allocation,
such that no additional payment would be required from the RII and the RII is deemed to have
approved such revised Bid at Cut-off Price.
(e) In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, RIIs and Bids by Employees under the
Reservation Portion, who have bid at the Cut-off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess
amount paid at the time of Bidding will be unblocked.

689

payment) exceeds Rs. 200,000, the Bid may be considered for allocation under the Non-
Institutional Category in terms of the RHP/Prospectus. If, however, the Bidder/Applicant does
not either revise the Bid or make additional payment and the Offer Price is higher than the cap
of the Price Band prior to revision, the number of Equity Shares Bid for may be adjusted
downwards for the purpose of Allotment, such that no additional amount is required for blocking
Bidder/Applicant and the Bidder/Applicant is deemed to have approved such revised Bid at the
Cut-off Price.
(d) In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, RIIs, Employees and Retail Individual
Shareholders, who have bid at the Cut-off Price, could either revise their Bid or the excess
amount paid at the time of Bidding may be unblocked.

categories of Bidders/Applicants in an Offer depending on compliance with the eligibility
conditions. Certain details pertaining to the percentage of Offer size available for allocation to

to Rs. 24 per share, issue size of 3,000 equity shares and receipt of five bids from bidders, details

Bid Quantity Bid Amount (Rs.) Cumulative Quantity Subscription
2,000 21 5,000 166.67%
2,500 20 7,500 250.00%
The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the
Issuer is able to Offer the desired number of equity shares is the price at which the book cuts
off, i.e., Rs. 22.00 in the above example. The issuer, in consultation with the book running
lead managers, may finalise the Offer Price at or below such cut-off price, i.e., at or below Rs.
22.00. All bids at or above this Offer Price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered
for allocation in the respective categories.
In case of FPOs, Issuers may opt for an alternate method of Book Building in which only the
Floor Price is specified for the purposes of Bidding (“Alternate Book Building Process”).
The Issuer may specify the Floor Price in the RHP or advertise the Floor Price at least one
Working Day prior to the Bid/Offer Opening Date. QIBs may Bid at a price higher than the
Floor Price and the Allotment to the QIBs is made on a price priority basis. The Bidder with the
highest Bid Amount is allotted the number of Equity Shares Bid for and then the second highest
Bidder is Allotted Equity Shares and this process continues until all the Equity Shares have been
allotted. RIIs, NIIs and Employees are Allotted Equity Shares at the Floor Price and allotment
to these categories of Bidders is made proportionately. If the number of Equity Shares Bid for
at a price is more than available quantity then the Allotment may be done on a proportionate
basis. Further, the Issuer may place a cap either in terms of number of specified securities or
percentage of issued capital of the Issuer that may be Allotted to a single Bidder, decide whether
a Bidder be allowed to revise the bid upwards or downwards in terms of price and/or quantity
and also decide whether a Bidder be allowed single or multiple bids.
Applicants may note that there is no Bid cum Application Form in a Fixed Price Issue. As the Offer Price is
mentioned in the Fixed Price Issue therefore on filing of the Prospectus with the RoC, the Application so submitted
is considered as the application form.
Applicants may only use the specified Application Form for the purpose of making an Application in terms of the
Prospectus which may be submitted through the Designated Intermediary.
ASBA Applicants may submit an Application Form either in physical form to the Designated Intermediaries or in
the electronic form to the SCSB or the Designated Branches of the SCSBs authorising blocking of funds that are
available in the bank account specified in the Application Form only (“ASBA Account”). The Application Form
is also made available on the websites of the Stock Exchanges at least one day prior to the Bid/Offer Opening
Date.
In a fixed price Issue, allocation in the net offer to the public category is made as follows: minimum fifty per cent
to Retail Individual Investors; and remaining to (i) individual investors other than Retail Individual Investors; and
(ii) other Applicants including corporate bodies or institutions, irrespective of the number of specified securities
applied for. The unsubscribed portion in either of the categories specified above may be allocated to the Applicants
in the other category.
For details of instructions in relation to the Application Form, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the relevant section
of the GID.
The Allotment of Equity Shares to Bidders/Applicants other than Retail Individual Investors and Anchor Investors
may be on proportionate basis. For Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to
RHP/Prospectus. No Retail Individual Investor will be Allotted less than the minimum Bid Lot subject to
availability of shares in Retail Individual Investor Category and the remaining available shares, if any will be
Allotted on a proportionate basis. The Issuer is required to receive a minimum subscription of 90% of the Net
Offer (excluding any Offer for Sale of specified securities). However, in case the Offer is in the nature of Offer
697
for Sale only, then minimum subscription may not be applicable.
Bids received from the RIIs at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Retail
Category at or above the Offer Price, full Allotment may be made to the RIIs to the extent of the valid
Bids. If the aggregate demand in this category is greater than the allocation to in the Retail Category at
or above the Offer Price, then the maximum number of RIIs who can be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot
will be computed by dividing the total number of Equity Shares available for Allotment to RIIs by the
minimum Bid Lot (“Maximum RII Allottees”). The Allotment to the RIIs will then be made in the
following manner:
(a) In the event the number of RIIs who have submitted valid Bids in the Offer is equal to or less
than Maximum RII Allottees, (i) all such RIIs shall be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot; and (ii)
the balance available Equity Shares, if any, remaining in the Retail Category shall be Allotted
on a proportionate basis to the RIIs who have received Allotment as per (i) above for the balance
demand of the Equity Shares Bid by them (i.e. who have Bid for more than the minimum Bid
Lot).
(b) In the event the number of RIIs who have submitted valid Bids in the Offer is more than
Maximum RII Allottees, the RIIs (in that category) who will then be Allotted minimum Bid Lot
shall be determined on the basis of draw of lots.
Bids received from NIIs at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. The Allotment to all successful NIIs may be made at or above the Offer
Price. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Non-Institutional Category at
or above the Offer Price, full Allotment may be made to NIIs to the extent of their demand. In case the
aggregate demand in this category is greater than the Non-Institutional Category at or above the Offer
Price, Allotment may be made on a proportionate basis up to a minimum of the Non-Institutional
Category.
For the Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the SEBI ICDR
Regulations or RHP / Prospectus. Bids received from QIBs Bidding in the QIB Category (net of Anchor
Portion) at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total demand under this
category. The QIB Category may be available for Allotment to QIBs who have Bid at a price that is equal
to or greater than the Offer Price. Allotment may be undertaken in the following manner:
(a) In the first instance allocation to Mutual Funds for up to 5% of the QIB Category may be
determined as follows: (i) In the event that Bids by Mutual Fund exceeds 5% of the QIB
Category, allocation to Mutual Funds may be done on a proportionate basis for up to 5% of the
QIB Category; (ii) In the event that the aggregate demand from Mutual Funds is less than 5%
of the QIB Category then all Mutual Funds may get full allotment to the extent of valid Bids
received above the Offer Price; and (iii) Equity Shares remaining unsubscribed, if any and not
allocated to Mutual Funds may be available for allotment to all QIBs as set out at paragraph
7.4(b) below;
(b) In the second instance, allotment to all QIBs may be determined as follows: (i) In the event of
oversubscription in the QIB Category, all QIBs who have submitted Bids above the Offer Price
may be Allotted Equity Shares on a proportionate basis for up to 95% of the QIB Category; (ii)
Mutual Funds, who have received allocation as per (a) above, for less than the number of Equity
Shares Bid for by them, are eligible to receive Equity Shares on a proportionate basis along with
other QIBs; and (iii) Under-subscription below 5% of the QIB Category, if any, from Mutual
Funds, may be included for allocation to the remaining QIBs on a proportionate basis.
(a) Allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors at the Anchor Investor Offer Price will be at
698
the discretion of the issuer subject to compliance with the following requirements:

7.5 BASIS OF ALLOTMENT FOR QIBs (OTHER THAN ANCHOR INVESTORS), NIIs AND
RESERVED CATEGORY IN CASE OF OVER-SUBSCRIBED ISSUE
In the event of the Offer being over-subscribed, the Issuer may finalise the Basis of Allotment in
consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
The allocation may be made in marketable lots, on a proportionate basis as explained below:
(a) Bidders may be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for;
(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole may be arrived at
on a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category
(number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for)
multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;
(c) The number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to the successful Bidders may be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that
category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;
(d) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than the minimum Bid Lot decided per
Bidder, the Allotment may be made as follows: the successful Bidders out of the total Bidders
for a category may be determined by a draw of lots in a manner such that the total number of
Equity Shares Allotted in that category is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in
accordance with (b) above; and each successful Bidder may be Allotted a minimum of such
699
Equity Shares equal to the minimum Bid Lot finalised by the Issuer;
(e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than the minimum Bid Lot
but is not a multiple of one (which is the marketable lot), the decimal may be rounded off to the
higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5 it may be
rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all bidders in such categories may be
arrived at after such rounding off; and
(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity
Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for
allotment may be first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted Equity Shares are
not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The balance
Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment may be added to the category comprising
Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares.
(a) Designated Date: On the Designated Date, the Escrow Bank shall transfer the funds
represented by allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors from the Escrow Accounts, as
per the terms of the Cash Escrow Agreement, into the Public Offer Account with the Bankers

Portion shall be made from the Refund Account as per the terms of the Cash Escrow
Agreement and the RHP. On the Designated Date, the Registrar to the Offer shall instruct the
