Together with the non-fund base portfolio, the total potfolio exceeds Rs.143,000 million. The operational performance in FY 2017-18 has been affected due to higher provisions/ non recognisation of interest on stressed/ NPA loan accounts.

Other income includes Rs.1,472.63 million arising as dividend income/ profit from sale of equity investment made during the FY 2016-17 as compared to Nil for FY 2017-18. Increase in finance charges is due to increase in portfolio size and also includes amortization of foreign currency translation aggregating to Rs.76.24 million as compared to Rs.144.08 million during FY 2016-17.

However, if neutralized for impact of stressed assets the adjusted Net Interest Income for the FY 2017-18, would have been Rs.5,178.25 million, and adjusted net profit after tax would have been Rs.3,453.30 million as against Rs.247.05 million. Adjusted for the impact of stressed loan assets, Yield and Spread for FY 2017-18 stood at 11.03% and 2.85% respectively compared to Yield and Spread of 12.11% and 3.31% during FY 2016-17 respectively.

The most of the NPA accounts belong to the thermal and large hydro project. The approach of PFS is to progressively reduce the NPA level by resolution through measures like sale to new investor or ARC/reference to NCLT/or through resolution plan under Samadhan/ Sashakt Scheme. Case by case approach towards resolution is being pursued by PFS. A special team has been set up to deal with and find resolution of stressed assets. In the current financial year PFS has focused sanction mainly to the promoter having satisfactory track record with PFS.

The portfolio of PFS continues to record CAGR of 25% and achieved so by changing gears well in time from financing thermal generation projects to renewable sector, and also incremental exposure in phased and prudent manner to mix sector like roads, ports, transmission and infrastructural logistics projects. Incrementally sanctions to these sectors have been Rs.18,349.10 million which is 22.24% of the total sanction in the FY 2017-18.

None of the 58 solar projects in the books of PFS as on March 31, 2018, is in the category of NPA.

3. Industry Scenario

India’s power sector continues to be a critical enabler for economic growth and welfare. It is one of the most diversified power sector in the world and the sources of power generation range from conventional sources such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to viable non-conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agricultural domestic waste. Electricity demand in the country has increased rapidly and is expected to rise further in the years to come with drastic change in demand pattern. The sector with such development is also undergoing a significant change that is redefining the industry outlook. Sustained economic growth continues to drive electricity demand in India. The Government of India’s focus on attaining ‘Power for all’ has accelerated capacity addition in the country. At the same time, the competitive intensity is increasing at both the market and supply sides

The Government of India has identified power sector as a key sector of focus so as to promote sustained industrial growth. The sector has tremendous investment potential, thereby providing immense opportunities in power generation, distribution, transmission, and equipment. India has set an ambitious plan to add 227 GW of renewable energy generation capacity by 2022 and is being counted globally as a country leading investments in renewable energy.

According to the Standing Committee on Energy, there are 34 stressed power projects with an outstanding debt of Rs.1.8 lakh crores. 17 of these projects with aggregate capacity of 34000 MW are affected because of coal linkage. Major reasons for the financial stress in these thermal power projects include: (i) non-availability of fuel (coal), (ii) lack of enough power purchase agreements (PPAs) by states, (iii) inability of the promoter to infuse equity and working capital, (iv) tariff related disputes, (v) issues related to banks, and (vi) delays in project implementation leading to cost overruns.

The stress in power sector has been acknowledged and various efforts/ initiatives are being taken to resolve the aforementioned stress in the sector. SBI led group of bankers proposed the Scheme of Asset Management and Debt Change Structure (SAMADHAN). 12 thermal power projects have been identified under this scheme. REC - PFC has proposed PARIVARTAN Scheme for housing of identified assets under an asset management and rehabilitation company which shall be jointly owned by financial institutions. Further, a Committee of Bankers has proposed the SASHAKT scheme for resolution of stress assets including the stressed power projects. Under the above various schemes, majority shareholding in the Borrower is proposed to be bid out to a AMC/Strategic Investor/ Alternate Investment Fund, etc and these assets are proposed to be hold for a minimum period of some time post this lock in period, it may exit entity by way of equity sale at better valuation. Also, Govt. of India has formed a committee to tackle the stress in the power sector headed by Cabinet Secretary and shall include Officials from Ministry of power, railways, coal and finance. Some of PFS projects under stress may be covered under one or more above schemes.

4. Outlook

The Indian economy is under a transformational changes led by the Union Government. The power sector has always been the lifeline of the economy and is one of the prime drivers of economic growth and social development. The development of power sector has been given due importance in the national planning and resource allocation process. The private participation in the sector is continuously increasing, thereby indicating confidence and support. The sector is receiving attention at the topmost level and as a result of persistent efforts, Moody’s has upgraded the outlook for India’s power sector to stable from negative. The total installed capacity in the country crossed the 343 GW mark as at 31st March 2018.

The renewable power sector saw record capacity additions during FY2018. The total generation capacity addition in respect of renewable projects aggregated to about 12 GW during FY2018 surpassing the capacity addition in thermal sector. The renewable capacity is poised to see further capacity additions in line with the Government’s vision of installed capacity of 227GW by 2022.

In addition to renewable sector, other areas such as power transmission, roads and highways, ports etc. are also witnessing action. Infrastructure sector is the key driver for the economy and possesses the potential for propelling overall development of the country. The sector continues to enjoy focus from Government both in terms of policy related initiatives and development of infrastructure in the country. New projects are being undertaken and government is poised to ensure all round development of the infrastructure sector of the country.

PFS now focuses on attractive opportunities across the infrastructure sector especially the renewable energy projects, road projects based on hybrid annuity model, ports and infra logistic etc.. The aggregate debt sanctioned by the Company has crossed Rs.23,000 crore mark and the outstanding portfolio (fund based and non-fund based) has crossed Rs.14,000 crore mark as at 31st March 2018. Considering the issues emerged in thermal sector, PFS as conservative approach, has not taken further exposure in thermal generation projects and have significantly diversified into Renewable energy portfolio and in other infra sectors such as Road and ports through calibrated approach. As on 31st March 2018, the overall sanction exposure into Renewable projects is about 55% and sanction in other infra it is about 15%. Further during the FY 17-18, PFS has sanctioned about 23% of its portfolio in other infra sector including transmission, Road, ports and Railway.

PFS believes that the infrastructure development and renewable energy area offers good potential and the Company continues to evaluate business proposals for projects in these areas in line with the developments and the initiatives undertaken at the Government level. PFS, is devoted to meet the challenges to take advantages of the potential opportunities. The Company is focused on attractive opportunities across the infrastructure sector. The Company expects the growth momentum to continue. The debt commitments and disbursements have been robust during the year, thereby maintaining the increasing trend.

The power and infrastructure sector is witnessing stress and several projects in the country (both operational and under construction) are facing challenges.

3. Industry Scenario

India’s power sector is at an inflection point, given the government’s conviction that electricity is a critical enabler for economic growth. The sector is transforming in terms of reliability and affordability and it is perceived to be an incredibly dynamic time in the power market. It is estimated that about 13% of the new power generation orders in the world are from India. India’s energy sector has turned around from an era of scarcity and faces a problem of plenty, making demand creation a key driver of government policy.

The government recognizes the need for private investment in the power sector and is planning to adopt progressive policies on renewable. India is being counted globally as a country leading investments in renewable energy. The country has set an ambitious plan to add 175 GW of renewable energy generation capacity by 2022. There have been notable policy reforms in the renewable energy, and country is ranked better on ease of doing business in the renewable energy space. Significant investments are expected into the generation projects which would be backed by investments in transmission sector as well. The government is further working towards new policies for hydropower and electricity from biomass, biofuels and cogeneration. It is believed that an action plan is in the offing for a smoother and reliable integration of renewable energy with conventionally generated electricity carried by the national and state grids.

4. Outlook

The Indian economy is expected to go a transformational change led by the Union Government. The power sector is is considered to be lifeline of the Indian economy and is expected to play a critical role in this mega change backed by the Government’s commitment. The policy makers are taking multiple steps towards improving the overall situation. Government has launched a scheme called “Power for All” with an aim to ensure continuous and uninterrupted electricity supply to all households,

industries and commercial establishments by creating and improving necessary infrastructure. The total installed capacity in the country crossed the 300GW mark as at 31st March 2016. India’s power sector is one of the most diversified in the world with the sources of power generation ranging from conventional sources such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to viable non-conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agricultural and domestic waste.

India’s quest for green energy has crossed a major milestone, with renewable plants, mainly wind and solar, surpassing the capacity of large hydroelectricity projects, which were once the country’s biggest source of electricity. The total capacity of renewable energy projects overtook hydropower in the country’s total capacity. It is believed that India will turn a global player in the energy market during the next 25 years, exerting its influence on its various aspects, including renewable energy and energy efficiency. The energy use in the country has almost doubled since 2000.

The renewable energy development in 2015 across the globe had a strong Indian flavour to it. India is ranked among the top five nations in new investments, and in the top four as regards creating jobs in the green energy sector. India’s investments in renewable energy sector increased to over USD 10 billion in 2015, when compared to around USD 8 billion in 2014. The investments have seen growth for the second consecutive year, as a result of the Indian government’s increased focus on renewable energy.

PFS focuses on attractive opportunities across the infrastructure sector especially the renewable energy projects. The total portfolio of the Company has crossed Rs.8600 crore mark. The power sector holds tremendous investment potential and requires huge investment. PFS, is devoted to meet the challenges to take advantages of the potential opportunities. The Company constantly eyes opportunities in the sector and expects to continue with its growth momentum. The debt commitments and disbursements have been robust during the year, thereby maintaining the increasing trend. The Company continues to explore opportunities in other related infrastructure.

During the year, your Company collaborated with International Finance Corporation (IFC) to boost Financing for Renewable Energy Projects. PFS became the first institution in India, and the twenty-sixth globally, to sign IFC’s Master Cooperation Agreement. The collaboration will help standardize steps that lenders take when co-financing projects with IFC with the ultimate aim to make financing available in shorter time-frames and reduce financing costs for borrowers, enabling them to operationalize projects faster.

PFS is also working towards lowering its cost of borrowings and is in discussions with various multi lateral/bilateral financing institutions for arranging funds at competitive costs / terms. The Company diversified its resource base and issued bonds which were subscribed by International Finance Corporation and FMO, Dutch Development Bank. The Company arranged borrowings domestically at competitive rates during the year , thereby reducing its overall cost of borrowings.

PFS is focused on attractive opportunities across the infrastructure sector. The total debt assistance sanctioned has already crossed Rs.15,000 crore mark and the outstanding loan book has shown further growth during FY 2015-16. The disbursements have been robust during the financial year. PFS continues to focus its energies on lending outside coal based power projects for infrastructure facilities such as power transmission, coal mining, private railway sidings etc and will continue to evaluate niche opportunities across energy value chain.

The Indian power sector is one of the most diversified sector with sources of power ranging from both conventional such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to non-conventional such as wind, solar, and agricultural and domestic waste. The sector is undergoing significant changes that have the potential to redefine the industry. The renewable power capacity addition is seeing unprecedented growth. Power sector is considered to be the crucial enabler for economic growth and the renewable sector promises significant growth and development amidst tremendous investment potential. The Government of India is also committed to provide everyone with access to electricity and has identified power sector as a key sector of focus so as to promote sustained industrial growth.

The development activities and the interest in the renewable area offers good potential to PFS. PFS continue to evaluate business proposals for these projects in line with the developments taking place in the sector and the initiatives undertaken at the government level. The Company continues to partner with credible players in the industry.

The issues relating to the establishment of exposure limits for various categories, for example, based on geographical regions, fuel specific, industry and rating are also covered. It also deals with rating models aiming at high quality, consistency and uniformity in the appraisal of proposals. The framework for operational risk management recognizes the need to understand the operational risks in general, and those in specific activities of the Company. Operational risk management is understood as a systematic approach to manage such risk. It seeks to standardize the process of identifying new risks and designing appropriate controls for these risks, minimize losses and customer dissatisfaction due to possible failure in processes.

- Asset Liability Management Policy :- The objectives of Asset Liability Management Policy are to align market risk management with overall strategic objectives, articulate current interest rate view and determine pricing, mix and maturity profile of assets and liabilities.

It also addresses the interest rate risk by providing for duration gap analysis and control by providing limits to the gaps.

- Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy: - The policy covers the management of foreign exchange risk related to existing and future foreign currency loans or any other foreign exchange risks derived from borrowing and lending. The objective of the policy is to serve as a guideline for transactions to be undertaken for hedging of foreign exchange related risks. It also provides guiding parameters within which the Asset Liability Management Committee can take decisions for managing the above mentioned risks.

- Interest Rate Policy: - Interest rate policy provides for risk based pricing of the debt financing by the Company. It provides the basis of pricing the debt and the manner in which it can be structured to manage credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk, while remaining competitive.

- Operational Risk Management Policy: - The operational risk management policy recognizes the need to understand the operational risks in general, and those in specific activities of the Company.

Dear Shareholders

The Directors have pleasure in presenting you the Eighth Annual Report together with the audited accounts of your Company for the Financial Year 2013-14.

OVERVIEW

Power or electricity is one of the most critical components of infrastructure and one of the prime drivers of economic growth and social development. India is the fifth largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world after US, China, Japan and Russia. The Indian power sector is one of the most diversified in the world. Sources for power generation range from commercial sources such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to other viable non- conventional sources such as wind, solar and agriculture and domestic waste.

The demand for electricity in the country has been growing at a rapid rate and is expected to grow further in the years to come. Indian Power Sector recorded a capacity addition of about 20,000 MW during FY 2013-14 taking the total installed power generation capacity in the country to about 243,000 MW as at 31st March 2014. The government''s policy measures aimed at improving fuel availability and the financial health of state utilities have helped revive the power sector. It is felt that Indian government''s FY13 and FY14 policy measures towards solving two key issues - fuel risk and poor financial health of state power utilities are yielding positive results.

The investment climate is very positive in the power sector. Due to policy liberalization, the sector has witnessed higher investment flows than envisaged. The Power Ministry has set a target for adding about 76,000 MW of electricity generation capacity in the 12th Plan (2012-17) and about 93,000 MW in the 13th Plan (2017-2022).

The new government''s resolve to pursue economic reforms is set to catalyse the power sector''s revival. The stimulation is also seeing an increase in the number of foreign companies interested in participating in the Indian projects. The focus on solving the coal impasse by increasing coal production and assuring coal supply to power plants makes the government''s priorities clear. The increased allocation to power in the plan outlay is crucial for sustained growth recovery. The investors have welcomed the move to extend the 10-year tax holiday and the proposed restoration of ''accelerated depreciation'' which is expected to go a long way in encouraging investments into the sector. Comprehensive measures for enhancing domestic coal production, more washeries to improve the quality of delivered coal and rationalization of coal linkages are all expected to yield positive results.

India is blessed with an abundance of sunlight, water and biomass and the government is committed to increasingly tap this potential for generation of electricity. The composition of renewable power in the country''s installed generation capacity is expected to increase going forward since renewable energy sources and technologies have potential to provide solutions to the long- standing energy problems. India is increasingly adopting responsible renewable energy techniques and taking positive steps towards carbon emissions, cleaning the air and ensuring a more sustainable future. The Indian government has proposed to construct four giant solar energy plants, with a capacity of 1,000MW each, as part of its efforts to accelerate the solar energy program and the Union budget has allocated a sum of Rs. 10,000 million for the solar power sector, a move that is expected to boost energy generation from renewable sources. PFS focuses on attractive opportunities across the infrastructure sector.

PTC India Financial Services Limited (PFS) is a systematically important non- deposit taking non-banking finance company registered with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and set-up to devote itself mainly for providing financial solutions to projects in the energy value chain. The Company has also been accorded the status of Infrastructure Finance Company (IFC) by the RBI in August 2010. The operational and financial performance of the Company during FY 2013-14 has maintained a robust growth momentum.

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION

The Company raised external commercial borrowings (ECB) aggregating to USD 26 million and USD 50 million from Deutsche Investitions-und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (DEG) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) respectively and has successfully implemented the Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) as per the new IFC Performance Standards 2012.

For and on behalf of the Board of Directors

Sd/- Date : 1st August, 2014 Deepak Amitabh Place: New Delhi Chairman (DIN: 016061535)


Mar 31, 2013

Dear Shareholders

The Directors have pleasure in presenting you the seventh annual Report together with the audited accounts of your Company for the Financial Year 2012-13.

OVERVIEW

Power sector in india has recorded capacity addition of about 23,466 MW during FY 2012-13 taking the total installed power generation capacity in the country to about 223,343 MW as at 31st March 2013. The installed generation capacity in India is fifth largest in the world and the energy-mix comprises both non-renewable (coal, lignite, petroleum and natural gas) and renewable energy sources (wind, solar, small hydro, biomass, cogeneration bagasse etc). The policy landscape in india has progressively evolved and has led to changes in the power sector, especially in terms of competition, private sector involvement and focus on green energy over the last decade, commencing with the passing of the Electricity Act 2003. However, the power generation has been largely dominated by coal based generation.

The indian power sector has achieved a lot over the last decade in the areas of policy reforms, private sector participation in generation and transmission, new manufacturing technology and capabilities, but there is still much to achieve and a number of challenges to overcome before the opportunities can be leveraged. india aims to add 88,000 MW by the end of the 12th Five- Year Plan, of which almost three-fifths of capacity is expected to be built by private companies. The huge capacity addition plan also offers opportunity for developing evacuation capacities and supply related OEMs like conductor manufacturing, insulator manufacturing, tower fabrication and EPC.

The Government has approved debt restructuring plan for beleaguered state electricity boards, however, it is still felt that strong political will is necessary to achieve meaningful reforms in the power sector. The debt restructuring for the sEBs is dependent upon important conditions such as tariff revisions, reduction in AT&C losses. The implications of the re-structuring are far- reaching.

Dear Shareholders

OVERVIEW

Power Sector in India has recorded capacity addition of about 26,251 MW during FY 2011-12 taking the total installed power generation capacity in the country to about 199,877 MW as at 31st March, 2012. The installed capacity addition during the 11th Five Year Plan 2007-12 was about 55,000 MW and the Government has set a target of 90,000 MW capacity addition during the 12th Five Year Plan 2012-17. India's energy-mix comprises both non-renewable (coal, lignite, petroleum and natural gas) and renewable energy sources (wind, solar, small hydro, biomass, cogeneration bagasse etc). Though the sector is currently constrained by shortage of fuel, implementation risks, logistical arrangements, banks' increasing exposure to distribution companies, these constraints are expected to overcome in short to medium term. The planned capacity addition during the 12th Five Year Plan, which will not only lead to setting up of power plants but also stimulate investments in other areas such as transmission lines, distribution networks, setting up of more EPC contractors, investment in logistics for movement of heavy machinery, transportation network for fuel etc, presents us with enormous opportunities of providing assistance in the sector and it is estimated that power sector would require capital investment in excess of Rs. 11 trillion during the ensuing plan.

3.0 Operations Review

3.1 Investment in the power sector was adversely affected during the year 2008-09 because of unprecedented turmoil in the financial markets in India and globally. Liquidity crisis or general risk aversion in the financial markets posed a challenge for entities, like, PFS, which are exclusively devoted to financing to power sector projects, to meet requirements of projects in pipeline - at developmental stage or in implementation process. With the advantage of strong parentage of PTC India Limited available, PFS was able to commit a significant level of assistance during the year in the form of equity and term loan to private power projects. The portfolio of projects assisted by PFS, though relatively small in number, as would be the case for any new entity, comprised of private power projects in renewable as well as non-renewable space.

3.2 During the year, PFS has sanctioned financial assistance of Rs.722 crores to 15 projects, in the form of equity and/or debt. Cumulatively, PFS has sanctioned financial assistance of Rs.886 crores to 19 projects entities till 31st March, 2009 supporting capacity creation of more than 4600 MW and involving capital investment of more than Rs. 20,000 crore. Sector-wise, assisted projects comprised of 8 coal based thermal power projects, 6 bio-mass based thermal power projects, 1 project based on wind energy. The first ever power exchange, namely, Indian Energy Exchange Limited (IEX) co-promoted by PFS, started its operation in June 2008. Most of the projects in which equity participation was committed till the third quarter of the year are in advance stage of implementation.

3.3 At the end of the year, PFS has undisbursed committed sanction, equity as well as debt, of Rs. 660 crores. With strong pipeline of projects available and potential that exists for financing power sector projects, your Company expects to record much higher level of growth in the current 2009-10.

3.4 During the year, PFS has also focused on mobilization of resources through equity as well as debt in order to meet growth in operations. Equity base has been increased from Rs.110.6 crores as at the end of the year 2007-08 to Rs.601.7 crores as on 31st March, 2009. To provide for resources for enabling debt funding, PFS obtained Lines of Credit from various banks and, for tenure upto 10 – 15 years. The efforts to raise fund with different maturity period and at a lower cost through other alternatives available are actively on.

3.5 Treasury operations are focusing, as part of investment policy and as a separate profit centre, on fixed income securities while ensuring protection to the capital investment.

3.6 As a philosophy, PFS believes in maintaining a strong rapport with the assisted projects by adding value at every stage of development and implementation. As a back up, a project monitoring and support mechanism has been put in place.

3.7 PFS has also focused, during the year, on developing a credible network of relationship with financial institutions, banks, merchant bankers, multilateral and bilateral organizations. This has helped in identifying business development opportunities, resource mobilization, and participation in co-financing and syndication opportunities.

3.8 PFS Board has adopted business plan prepared with the assistance of Pwc for a period of 2008-09 to 2012-13. The business plan also provides for broad strategies for achieving targeted growth.
