BUSINESS REVIEW

Your company has a well formulated strategy to tackle the challenges that the sector is facing today. We are comfortable with land, fuel linkage, water, financial closure etc. and are on course to building a leadership position in the Sector. The operations have also been stabilized and we are continuously working on increasing the efficiency of our power plant with the aim of bringing down the cost of production of electricity.

Your company has commissioned Phase-I of Nasik as well as Amravati thermal power plants. Phase-I of Nashik Thermal Power Plant (Nashik TPP) was completed in June-2017 and all 5 units, each having a generation capacity of 270 MW, are commissioned now. Currently work is going on swiftly on construction of an in-plant railway siding for Nashik TPP. All statutory approvals are already in place and the plant has a fuel supply agreement in place. Your company has a 22 mtpa coal linkage for its existing capacity of 5,400 MW (Amravati 1,350 MW Phase 1 1,350 MW Phase 2 and Nashik 1,350 MW Phase 1 1,350 MW Phase 2); having the largest quantum of Coal Linkage amongst IPPs which is extremely valuable as new linkages are available only through auction under SHAKTI (Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyala (Coal) Transparently in India) announced on 17th May 2017 under which the coal costs are expected to be much higher than coal costs under the earlier linkage regime.

With 2,700 MW commissioned capacity (Amravati and Nashik Phase 1 each of 1,350 MW), the Company is amongst top 10 IPP generators in the Country. You would be happy to note that the Amravati power plant has a PPA with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL). All the five units of Amravati TPP are available for supplying power. Although Amravati TPP was available to supply power, MSEDCL did not off-take the entire capacity due to lower demand in Maharashtra, and paid capacity charges in line with the power purchase agreement provisions. We are also making efforts to decrease the interest cost of Amravati TPP. In spite of the plant being fully operational since March 2015, lenders are still to reduce the interest rates on our term loan from existing approx. 13%.

Phase-I of Nashik TPP was fully commissioned in June 2017 and the plant had approval for 950 MW power procurement from Government of Maharashtra, subject to approval from MERC. Although MERC approved the PPA, due to subsequent litigation, PPA could not be implemented. With Supreme Court order in place, the path has been cleared for entering into a PPA with MSEDCL. However, due to prolonged delay in adjudication of the dispute BEST has backed out from purchasing 300 MW power.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the risk-rewards of both power plants have turned out to be very different and distinct from each other. Amravati TPP is completely operational and running with long term PPA with MSEDCL but faced lower PLF in-spite of plant being fully available whereas Nashik TPP has locational advantage of being near to load center but has not commenced power generation for want of a long term PPA.

DIRECTORS/ KEY MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL (KMP) DETAILS

Mr. Himanshu Mathur, Director (DIN: 03077198) retires by rotation at the ensuing annual general meeting and being eligible for re-appointment, offers himself for the same.

During the year under review, Mrs. Anjali Nashier resigned from the directorship of the Company and Ms. Namita (DIN: 08058824) was appointed as a director of the Company in her place.

Ms. Namita being an additional director, her office as a director of the Company comes to an end on the date of the ensuing annual general meeting. However the Company has received a notice from her specifying her intention and willingness to be appointed as a regular director on the Board of Directors of the Company. A resolution to this effect is accordingly being proposed for approval of the members at the annual general meeting.

The other directorial changes that took place during the year under review were that Mr. Yashish Dahiya, an Independent Director resigned from his position as the director of the Company and in his place Mr. Tarun Kumar Prasad was appointed as an Independent Director with effect from January 11, 2018, to fill the intermittent vacancy so caused in the office of Independent Director.

However Mr. Prasad subsequently resigned from his office as the Director of the Company with effect from July 19, 2018, due to personal reasons.

Upon the resignation of Mr. Tarun Kumar Prasad from the directorship of the Company, Mr. Yashish Dahiya (DIN: 00706336) who had during his previous tenure played a very meaningful role in his capacity as an Independent Director of the Company through his valuable suggestions and inputs to the Board on the business and affairs of the Company, was once again approached with a request to rejoin the Company’s Board as an Independent Director and has accepted the request made by the Company. Accordingly it is proposed to appoint Mr. Yashish Dahiya as an Independent Director through a resolution to such effect being proposed for the approval of the members at the ensuing annual general meeting.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Your company has a well formulated strategy to tackle the challenges that the sector is facing today. We are comfortable with land, fuel linkage, water, financial closure etc. and are on course of building a leadership position in the Sector.

While the Phase-I of Amravati Thermal Power Plant has been fully operational since past two years, your company has commissioned Phase-I of Nasik thermal power plant as well. Phase-I of Nasik Thermal Power Plant (Nasik TPP) was completed in June-2017 and all 5 units, each having a generation capacity of 270MW, are operational now. Currently work is going on swiftly on construction of railway siding for the plant. All statutory approvals are already in place and the plants have fuel supply agreements in place. Your company is having 22 mtpa coal linkage for its 5400 MW capacity (Amravati 1350 MW Phase 1 1350 MW Phase 2 and Nashik 1350 MW Phase 1 1350 MW Phase 2), having the largest quantum of Coal Linkage amongst IPPs which is extremely valuable as new linkages are available only through auction under SHAKTI (Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyala (Coal) Transparently in India) announced on 17th May 2017.

Although Phase-I of Nasik TPP which has been developed under RattanIndia Nasik Power Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) was fully commissioned in June 2017 and the plant has approval for 950 MW power procurement from Govt of Maharashtra, subject to approval from MERC (650 MW to be procured by MSEDCL while balance 300 MW to be procured by BEST); allotment of 650 MW to be procured by MSEDCL is put on hold due to litigation. Currently the matter is pending in Supreme Court.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of Company, the risk-rewards of both power plants have turned out to be very different and distinct from each other. Amravati plant is completely operational and running with a long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with MSEDCL but faced lower PLF inspite of 100% availability in FY 2017, whereas Nashik plant has locational advantage of being near to the load center but has not commenced supplies under a PPA.

In view of this, the Board has constituted a Restructuring Committee, to consider, examine and evaluate the ways and means of bringing about the restructuring through a proposed demerger of Nashik TPP from the Company in a mode and manner which is in the best interests of the two companies and their shareholders. The Restructuring Committee would take all the necessary steps in this direction and prepare and present a detailed draft scheme and proposal, to be placed before the Board for its approval at a later date.

COMPANY''S POLICY ON APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

In consonance with the requirements of Section 178 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014 together with Regulation 19 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with Part D of the Schedule II thereto, the Company has in full force and operation, a well- defined policy for selection, appointment and remuneration of directors, both independent and non-independent and the senior management personnel including in particular the key managerial personnel.

The Policy as framed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors strikes a perfect balance between the need for inducting and retaining the directors and personnel of top caliber, commensurate with the nature and size of the operations of the Company and statutory requirements as applicable to the Company. The basic idea is to have the directorial and managerial talent comparable to the best in the business while at the same time ensuring that in compensating them for the services rendered, compliance with the applicable statutory provisions is not compromised with.

It would be pertinent to mention here that the Policy is subject to periodic review by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

For the information of the members of the Company in particular and the investing public in general, the policy as aforesaid stands uploaded on the website of the Company at the we blink http://www.rattanindia.com/investors.htm.

EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE OF THE BOARD, ITS COMMITTEES AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS

The Company has always followed a policy which seeks to ensure complete accountability for performance at every level and this is more so at the management level meaning thereby the accountability of the Board of Directors as a whole, the various committees constituted by it and the individual directors both independent and non-independent.

Towards this end, the Board of Directors carries out a periodic evaluation of its own performance, the performance of the committees constituted by it and the performance of the individual directors, the basic objective being to ensure that performance adheres to standards and in the event of deviation, the remedial actions to rectify the performance can be taken in the right earnest. While this is an exercise being undertaken in the Company ever since its establishment as a listed entity, it also serves the purpose of ensuring the Company''s compliance with the statutory requirements mandated in this regard under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and the Companies Act, 2013.

In continuation of this policy therefore, a detailed performance evaluation exercise was carried out in the financial year 2016-2017, entailing circulation of carefully drawn up questionnaires among the members of the Board and that of its various committees so as to gather their feedback as to the processes of the Board, processes of the individual committees and performance and functional efficacy and activeness of the individual directors, with the nature and size of the Company operations, the operational advantages and bottlenecks, the skill sets, knowledge and expertise of various directors and the Company vision and objectives forming the basic premises for the same.

It would be pertinent to mention here that performance evaluation of the Non-Independent Directors is carried out by Independent Directors who also assess the quantity, quality and timeliness of flow of information between the Company management and Board.

DECLARATIONS FROM INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The Company has received declarations from all the Independent Directors of the Company confirming that they meet the criteria of independence as prescribed under Section 149(7) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Regulation 16 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

During the year under review, 6 meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company were held. The details as to the dates of such meetings and the attendance of various directors of the Company thereat, have been provided in the Corporate Governance Report.

Additionally, a meeting of the Independent directors of the Company was held on May 22, 2017, with the participation of all Independent Directors of the Company at the meeting.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

The Company has always held firm the belief that the success of any business enterprise as also its growth and progress are to a fairly large extent dependent upon the society it exists in because it is the society which determines to a significant extent as to whether the goods manufactured and/ or services being offered by the enterprise, would find takers in the world outside such enterprise.

Now, it could be argued that it is the quality of what is being offered by an enterprise and the price at which the same is being offered that would be crucial determinants for whether the same would find customers. However building a customer base does not entirely depend on these two factors alone, the public perception of the enterprise and what it is offering in the market plays a very huge role in the process.

Many a times it has been so observed that the most successful of enterprises find their business biting the dust because the enterprise in its dealings with the public in general has been dishonest in its intentions or has conducted its business in a manner which shortchanges the public or gives it a raw deal.

Again, the society contributes to the success of an enterprise through its dealings therewith, which could take many shapes, be it in the shape of its security holders, its employees, its lenders, its suppliers and vendors, all of which apart from being in business deals with such enterprise, are essentially the components of the society which the enterprise operates in, and contribute to its growth and success, in a manner which goes far beyond their business/ contractual obligations, making it imperative for the enterprise to reciprocate in equal measure or beyond.

In other words therefore, the well-being and welfare of the society is what sustains an enterprise and enables it to grow and an enterprise therefore has to be responsive to the needs and aspirations of the society it operates in and in the event of its failing to do so, it is seen as being an exploiter, as being an entity which is not willing to give back to the society what it has received from it.

It was a recognition of this vital fact which lead to the discharge of corporate social responsibility being made mandatory for companies with certain specific turnover, net worth or profitability.

However notwithstanding this statutory promulgation, CSR has always been an area close to the heart of the Company and an essential ingredient of its philosophy and has post the promulgation of the Companies Act, 2013, been given the shape of a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (the CSR Policy) drawn up by the CSR Committee of the Board of Directors (Board) of the Company and approved by the Board, for implementation under the control and supervision of the Board .

While the basic objective of the CSR policy is to give shape to the Company''s philosophy of being an entity which is ever willing to do its bit for the society, the reason why it has not been able to do so is because, the Power Projects are basically capital intensive in nature sucking up a major chunk of the capital of a company be in the shape of infusions or the earnings of the Company and unless the revenues are of a scale and quantum which enable it to earn sufficient profits to meet its financial and operational obligations and yet be left with sufficient amounts, a part of which could be put to use for the benefit of the society, the discharge of CSR becomes extremely difficult and improbable.

The power industry in the Country especially in the thermal sector has been facing strong headwinds and battling several problems at various levels and in various areas, making it a fight for sustenance as the revenue generations have been fairly low leading to either extremely low profits or the complete lack of the same.

Your Company has been no exception and therefore it has not been possible for the Company to contribute any funds towards the betterment and welfare of the society pursuant to the CSR policy, much though it would have whole heartedly wanted to be one of the frontrunners in the area.

However what is encouraging is the fact that the government has taken cognizance of the problems being faced by the power sector in the country and host of measures/plans are on the anvil to revive the power sector.

The Company being a leading power generator of the country in the private sector, would very naturally be one of the biggest gainers and therefore once the financial situation improves, it would go whole hog in effectuating this aspect of its philosophy.

The CSR Committee of the Company comprises of three Directors namely Mrs. Anjali Nashier, a non-execuitve Director who is also the chairperson of the committee and Mr. Sanjiv Chhikara and Mr. Yashish Dahiya, Independent Directors.

More on the policy may be seen at we blink http://www.rattanindia.com/investors.htm.

INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

In terms of the provisions of Section 134 (5) (e) of the Companies Act, 2013 the Directors are enjoined with the responsibility of ensuring that adequate systems of financial control are in place and operational in the Company.

The Board of Directors have devised and effectuated a system of internal control commensurate with the nature and size of operations of the Company, covering within its ambit every sphere of operations and activities including more particularly the financial controls.

The system operational for the financial controls encompasses operating philosophies, policies and procedures, effective IT systems aligned to the business requirements, a robust internal audit framework and risk management framework to ensure that there are adequate checks and balances in the system, as also its evaluation at regular intervals to ascertain the efficacy of operations of the controls employed so that corrective measures if any required, can be taken in the right earnest with the internal audit team working in close coordination with the Audit Committee, for the purpose.

RISK MANAGEMENT

A well- defined and well formulated risk management policy addressing the risks unique to the nature and size of business of the Company as also the risks associated with the business environment both within the country and at a global level, has been in place in the Company since the inception.

While clearly identifying the possible risks, the policy very clearly lays down the no go areas, the redlines which cannot be crossed or overstepped under any circumstances, while at the same time outlining the mitigating steps to be taken, were the perceived risks to be encountered.

To ensure effective implementation and operationalization of the policy, it provides for a very effective system of reporting, covering within its ambit the risks encountered as well as those which the Company has a strong possibility of running into, as indicated by the prevailing circumstances and developments within and outside the Company. The said system also encompasses a proper analysis and assessment of such risks and the steps that need to be undertaken to obliterate such risks or mitigate their impact.

The said policy and hence the applicable statutory requirements, are followed in both letter and spirit and the operation and efficacy of the policy is reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, from time to time.

For the information of the members of the Company in particular and the investing public in general, the policy as aforesaid stands uploaded on the website of the Company at the we blink http://www.Rattan India.com/rpl/investor-contacts/.

EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE OF THE BOARD, ITS COMMITTEES AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS

For the Company, the periodic evaluation by the Board of Directors, of its own performance, the performance of various directors individually as well as evaluation of the working of various committees constituted by the board, is not merely a requirement mandated by the erstwhile Listing Agreements and the now in force SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, but an exercise emanating from the Corporate Governance and Work Philosophy of the Company, whereby it is sought to gauge the level and efficacy of such performance so as to ensure that the same is in consonance with the standards set for the purpose so that the deviations if any, can be identified in time and the necessary rectification measures initiated in the right earnest.

Thus a detailed evaluation exercise was carried out for the financial year 2015-2016 as well. The effectuation of this exercise involved circulation of detailed questionnaires among various directors including the Chairman. In drawing up the said questionnaires, parameters such as the corporate philosophy of the Company, its work culture, the understanding of the various directors, of the vision and objectives of the Company, the scope of their responsibility whether as individuals or as part of the various Board committees which they are a part of, if any, their individual skills, their knowledge including that of various applicable statutes, their experience, the level of their participation in the activities of the Board and their attendance at various Board meetings including the committees thereof, were considered as the basic premises.

It would be pertinent to mention here that performance evaluation of the Non-Independent Directors is carried out by Independent Directors who also assess the quantity, quality and timeliness of flow of information between the Company management and the Board, necessary for the Board to effectively and reasonably perform its duties.

DECLARATIONS FROM INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The Company has received declarations from all the Independent Directors of the Company confirming that they meet the criteria of independence as prescribed under Section 149(7) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Regulation 16 of the Securities And Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (earlier set out in Clause 49 of the erstwhile Listing Agreement).

MEETINGS

During the year under review, 9 meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company were held. This does not include the meeting of Independent Directors of the Company held on 21st March, 2016, without the attendance of Non-Independent Directors and members of the Management.

The details as to the dates of such meetings and the attendance of various directors of the Company thereat, have been provided in the Corporate Governance Report (CGR), which forms a part of the Annual Report.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Company has always believed that for the success of an organization, it is essentially important that looks it upon itself as a component of the society at large and carries its business in a manner which not only ensures its own growth and progress but also the progress and wellbeing of the society around it and that this in turn makes it incumbent upon the organization to do its bit for the society as a sort of pay back for what it has received from the society.

It is this belief and philosophy which manifests itself in the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (CSR Policy) which was framed in the year 2014 with the promulgation of the Companies Act, 2013, with the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee (CSR Committee) of the Board of Directors (Board) being entrusted with the responsibility of effectuating and operational zing the CSR Policy under the overall control and supervision of the Board.

The CSR Policy of the Company has been uploaded on the website of the Company and is available at the link: http://www.Rattan India.com/rpl/investor-contacts/.

While the Company closed the financial year 2015-2016 with a profit, it has not been possible for the Company to allocate any funds towards the discharge of its corporate social responsibility for the reason that the need of the day is to plough back the profits into the business of the Company given the importance of improving upon the performance of the Amravati Phase-I Project currently operating and the ensure speedy implementation of the projects under development. With the improved financial performance this would lead to in future, it would be possible for the Company to have sufficient funds available to it for being utilized towards the discharge of its corporate social responsibility.

It would be pertinent to mention here since the Company ended the three financial years immediately preceding the financial year 2015-2016, with losses, it was not statutorily required to make any expenditure towards CSR, though it would have liked to do so voluntarily if the business needs of the Company did not dictate otherwise.

The Annual report on CSR forms a part of the Board''s Report and is annexed hereto as Annexure A.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Power sector is very important for the economic development of any country. Inspite of huge capacity additions in last several years, power sector continues to face challenges and is not being able to contribute to growth of the Country. Inadequate coal supply, dependence on imported fuels, poor financial health of discoms, restricts the flow of investments, into the power sector.

Your company has a well formulated strategy to tackle these challenges. We are comfortable with land, fuel linkage, water, financial closure etc. and are on course of building a leadership position in the Sector.

The year under review was a milestone in the track record of your company in which, Units 3-5 of 1350 MW Phase-I Amravati Thermal Power Station (ATPS) achieved commercial operation within a short span of less than 2 months which is a record in itself. You would be happy to note that all the five units of ATPS are supplying power to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL).

COMPANY'S POLICY ON APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

As mandated by Clause 49 of the Listing Agreements as also Section 178 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014, the Company has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee in place, the constitution, the terms of reference and the scope of responsibility whereof, are described in the Corporate Governance Report, forming part ofthe Board's Report.

The selection and appointment of Directors and their remuneration owes its genesis to the policy formulated by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee within the four corners of its charter and scope of responsibility, with due consideration to the stipulations under various applicable enactments and regulations, primarily including the Companies Act, 2013 and in particular section 178(3) thereof, the Listing Agreements and the Income Tax Act, 1961. In formulating the policy, as uploaded on the website ofthe Company at the weblink http://www.rattanindia.com/investors.htm, for the information ofthe members ofthe Company in particular and the investing community in general, care has been taken to ensure that criteria laid down therein enable the Company to strike a balance between what is mandated by law, in letter as well as spirit, the principles of sound corporate governance, the functional requirements of the Company and the industry norms.

EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE OF THE BOARD, ITS COMMITTEES AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS

Besides such an evalution being mandatory required under clause 49 of the Listing Agreements and the Companies Act, 2013 the Board of Directors as a part of its corporate governance philosophy carries out an evaluation of its own performance, the performance of various directors individually as well as evaluation of the working of various committees constituted by it, the basic purpose of such evaluation being to ascertain as to whether the performance is in consonance with the terms of reference and scope of responsibility and upto the standards set for the same, to identify deviations, if any and initiate corrective measures.

Towards this end, structured questionnaires were during the year under review prepared taking into consideration the inputs received from various Directors, for the purpose of evaluation of the Board and its committees, their effectiveness and functional efficiency vis-a-vis their terms of reference and scope of responsibility, Board support and processes etc.

A separate exercise was carried out for evaluating the performance of individual Directors including the Chairman of the Board, broadly based on parameters such as their understanding of the Company's vision and objectives, their individual skills, knowledge and experience, their attendance and participation in Board and committee meetings, safeguarding the interest of the Company and its minority shareholders etc. It would be pertinent to mention here that performance evaluation of the Non-Independent Directors was carried out by Independent Directors who also assess the quantity, quality and timeliness of flow of information between the Company management and Board.

Emphasis in all such evaluations was on ensuring that in their functioning and discharge of responsibilities, neither the directors nor the committees, loose sight of the Company's vision and objectives and its philosophy of maintaining the highest standards of efficacy, corporate governance and legal compliances.

DECLARATIONS FROM INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The Company has received declarations from all the Independent Directors of the Company confirming that they meet the criteria of independence as prescribed both under Section 149(7) of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement with the Stock Exchanges.

MEETINGS

During the year, under review 11 meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company were held. This includes the meeting of Independent Directors of the Company held on 16th March, 2015, without the attendance of Non-Independent Directors and members of the Management.

The details as to the dates of such meetings and the attendance of various directors ofthe Company thereat, have been provided in the Corporate Governance Report.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The overall well-being of the society at large has always been an area close to the heart of the management of the Company as it is believed at RattanIndia that a business entity does not exist in isolation but as a component ofthe society it engages with in the course of its business and therefore the gains accruing to the business have to be essentially seen as a product of such interaction and interdependence, making it essentially important for a business enterprise to reciprocate in equal measure and beyond, for that is what enables it to discharge its social responsibility, which in turn ensures that it gains the trust and confidence of people, something so vitally important.

The Company has in place a well-defined and well laid out Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (CSR Policy) drawn up on the basis of the recommendations of the CSR Committee ofthe Board of Directors constituted on February 14, 2014, which currently comprises of three members namely Ms. Anjali Nashier a non-independent director as the Chairperson and member, and Mr. Sanjiv Chhikara and Mr. Yashish Dahiya, Independent Directors, as the other two members. The CSR Committee has been vested with the responsibility of effectuating the CSR Policy, monitoring its implementation and keeping the Board of Directors informed about the efficacy and success of the CSR programs. The CSR Policy has been uploaded on the website of the Company and is available at the link: http://www.rattanindia.com/investors.htm

It has not been possible for the Company to allocate any funds for social welfare activities, in pursuance of the CSR policy, during the year under review, primarily due to the fact that before being able to embark upon any programmes in this direction it was essentially important for the Company to have the 1350 MW Phase-I Amravati Thermal Power Plant commissioned and operational in entirety which in turn necessitated that a major chunk ofthe available finances be used to this end, so that the business ofthe Company starts generating revenues, so essential for the survival and growth of the Company, which would automatically ensure the availability of funds in the longer run to enable the Company to discharge its corporate social responsibility.

It would be pertinent to mention here that with the availability of financial leverage in the years to come it is proposed to undertake social welfare and uplift in various spheres.

The Annual report on CSR forms a part of the Board's Report and is annexed hereto as Annexure A.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Power sector is the fulcrum of economic development in any country. Putting aside the success stories posted across the sector, the reality is that power sector in India continues to lag behind. Shortages, tariffs and the dependence on imported fuels are on the rise while the poor health of distribution continues to restrict the flow of investments. Your company has thought of the challenges enumerated above in advance and accordingly has a strategy in place to tackle them. Your company is well placed with land, fuel linkage, water, financial closure etc. to face the challenges in Power Sector and is on course of building a leadership position in the Sector.

The financial year 2013-2014 has been a milestone in the track record of your company in which, Unit 1 & Unit 2 of Amravati Thermal Power Station (ATPS) achieved Commercial Operation Date (COD) on 3.6.2013 and 28.3.2014 respectively. Unit 1 of Nashik Thermal Power Station (NTPS) being developed by 100% subsidiary of your company also achieved Commercial Operation Date (COD) on 29.3.2014. You would be happy to note that Unit 1 of ATPS is supplying power to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL), since June 2013.

Coal India Limited (CIL) with whom your Company has executed Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) for supply of coal is not able to meet its commitments and is unable to supply the assured quantity of coal. This is not unique to your Company but a common issue with all the generators who depend on the linkage domestic coal from CIL. Considering the inadequacy of domestic coal, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) in its resolution dated 21st Jun 2013 approved a mechanism whereby CIL to supply 65%, 65%, 67% and 75% of the Annual Contracted Quantity (ACQ) during the remaining period of 12th 5-year plan. CIL may supply the balance coal requirement to the willing power generators from imported source on cost plus basis. Generators themselves can also import coal to meet the deficit. Additional cost of such coal would be considered as pass-through in tariff and concerned regulatory commissions would be deciding on the same based on the application of the generators on case to case basis. To accommodate this, NCDP 2007 was amended by Ministry of Coal on July 26, 2013 and on July 31, 2013 Ministry of Power issued advisory note to all the Electricity Regulatory Commissions in this regard.

In this background, your Company had filed a petition with Hon''ble Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to allow use of coal from imported/ alternate source(s) to meet the deficit and to allow additional cost of such coal as pass through in tariff by way of compensation. Considering the hardship, Hon''ble MERC in their latest order allowed use of coal from imported/alternate source to meet the shortfall of linkage coal and the additional cost of such coal would be recovered in the tariff. Hon''ble MERC for the purpose has prescribed a formula for such compensation which will be over and above the tariff under Power Purchase Agreement.

DIVIDEND

Every business entity has to be through times where it is faced with a situation of having to decide between retaining its profits in the business so as to increase the intrinsic value of its shares, thereby maximizing its shareholder wealth, or distributing profits to the shareholders which can mean infinitesimal short term gains but erosion of share value in the longer run.

While the financial fundamentals of the Company would not currently permit distribution of dividends, however even if it had been so possible, fiscal prudence would essentially dictate the retention of business profits so as to build a healthy reserve base to cushion the impact of any adverse economic development, were such developments to occur in future.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENTS

Rapid growth of the economy places a heavy demand on electric power. Reforms in the power sector, for making it efficient and more competitive, have been under way for several years and while there has been some progress, shortage of power and lack of access continues to be a major constraint on economic growth. Given the challenges enumerated above, we are pleased to say that your company is well placed with land, fuel linkage, water, financial closure etc to face the challenges in Power Sector and is on course of building a leadership position in Indian Power Sector.

This year your company successfully commissioned 1st Unit of 1350 MW Amravati Phase-I and the unit has been synchronized with the grid and achieved Full Load on 25th March, 2013. As per the power purchase agreement with MSEDCL, your company was committed to begun supplies from April 2014. However, since your company has managed to commission 1st unit of Amravati Phase-I ahead of its supply commitment under PPA, supplies under the power purchase agreement were preponed and accordingly the commercial operation of the Unit-1 has begun in June 2013. Further, boiler light up of Unit-2 of Amravati Phase-I and Unit-1 of Nashik Phase-I has already been achieved. This reaffirms the strength of your company in executing the projects.

Government of Maharashtra has approved purchase of 950 MW from Nashik Phase-I by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) and BEST. MERC has approved purchase of 650 MW from Nashik Phase-I by MSEDCL and PPA for 300 MW with BEST is expected shortly.

Your company has signed Fuel Supply Agreement with SECL for Amravati Thermal Power Project Phase-I and regular coal supply has commenced with effect from 24th June, 2013.

DIVIDEND

It has been the endeavor of the Company to maximize the returns to the shareholders and towards this end every effort is being made to bring about the situation where the Company not only starts earning operational revenues but earns revenues of a quantum which after providing for expenditures of the magnitude associated with a mega power projects like the ones being developed by the Company at Amravati and Nashik projects, would leave the Company with a substantial balance to build healthy reserves as also to be able to share a chunk with the shareholders in the shape of dividends. A beginning in this direction has already been made with commercial operations having commenced in the first unit of 270 MW of the Phase-I 1350 MW power plant at Amravati and steady progress is being made towards achieving the complete commercialization of phase-I as also towards the commencement of commercial operations at 1350 MW Phase-l Nashik Plants and this would culminate into overall financial well being and progress for the Company of which the shareholders would get to reap the benefits in the shape increased share valuations and also in form of dividends, all leading to wealth maximization for them.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS

Schemes of Arrangement

1. The proposal to demerge power and infrastructure business undertaking of Indiabulls Real Estate Limited, into a separate holding company, Indiabulls Infrastructure and Power Ltd ("IIPL") having earlier been approved by the Board of Directors and also the shareholders and creditors of the Company, is now pending approval from the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi.
