Sale of electricity is generally made pursuant to long-term Power Purchase Agreements(PPAs) entered into with the beneficiaries.

VI. Practical expedients applied as per Ind AS 115:

With regard to receivables for energy sales, the Group sends demand intimations to the beneficiaries with details of amount paid and balance outstanding which can be said to be automatically confirmed on receipt of subsequent payment from such beneficiaries. In addition, reconciliation with beneficiaries and other customers is generally done on quarterly basis. So far as trade/other payables and loans and advances are concerned, the balance confirmation letters/emails with the negative assertion as referred in the Standard on Auditing (SA) 505 (Revised) ‘External Confirmations’, were sent to the parties.

ii) Liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. 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. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31st March, 2021 and 31st March, 2020.

The company operates in regulated environment.

In addition to the above, Foreign Currency Exchange Variation and Taxes are also recoverable from Beneficiaries in terms of the Tariff Regulations. Hence variation in interest rate, currency exchange rate variations and other price risk variations are recoverable from tariff and do not impact the profitability of the company.

The company''s risk management is carried out as per policies approved by Board of Directors from time to time.

(A) Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

a) Trade Receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are mainly state government authorities and operate in largely independent markets.

The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet capital expenditure and operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

(C) Market Risk:

The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates.

(i) Interest rate risk and sensitivity

The Comapny''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long term debt obligations with floating interest rates and any changes in the interest rates environment may impact future cost of borrowing. Company does not have fixed rate borrowings.

The above foreign currency risk exposure is for foreign currency loans taken for construction of Rampur Hydro Power Station from World Bank.

B) FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENT

(i) Fair Value Hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair value are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has to classify its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and traded bonds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments including bonds which are traded in the recognised Stock Exchange and money markets are valued using the closing prices as at the reporting date. The company has no financial instruments that are listed and traded in recongised Stock exchanges.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. This includes security deposits/ retention money and loans at below market rates of interest. Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

(ii) Valuation techniques and process used to determine fair values

The Company values financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. Specific valuation techniques used to determine fair value of financial instruments includes:

- Use of Quoted market price or dealer quotes for similar intruments.

- Fair value of remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

The company has a team that performs the valuation of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purpose .

Note:

1. The Carrying amount of current investments, Trade and other receivables, Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term loans and advances, Short term borrowings, Trade payables and other current financial liabilitties are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.

2. For financial assets and financial liabilites measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair value.

(2) Financial Risk Management

Financial risk factors

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company’s operations. The Company has loan and other receivables, trade and other receivables, investments and cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operations. The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:

i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions.

ii) Liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. 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. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31st March, 2018 and 31st March, 2017.

The company operates in regulated environment. Tariff of the company is fixed by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) through Annual Fixed Charges (AFC) comprising the following five components: 1. Return on Equity (RoE), 2. Depreciation, 3. Interest on Loans, 4. Operation & Maintenance Expenses and 5. Interest on Working Capital Loans. In addition to the above, Foreign Currency Exchange Variation and Taxes are also recoverable from Beneficiaries in terms of the Tariff Regulations. Hence variation in interest rate, currency exchange rate variations and other price risk variations are recoverable from tariff and do not impact the profitability of the company.

The company’s risk management is carried out as per policies approved by Board of Directors from time to time.

(A) Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

a) Trade Receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are mainly state government authorities and operate in largely independent markets.

CERC tariff regulations 2014-19 allows the Company to raise bills on beneficiaries for late-payment surcharge which adequately compensates the Company for time value of money arising due to delay in payment. Further, the fact that beneficiaries are primarily State Governments/ State Discoms and considering the historical credit loss experience for trade receivables, the Company does not envisage either impairment in the value of receivables from beneficiaries or loss due to time value of money due to delay in realization of trade receivables.

b) Financial assets at amortised cost

Employee Loans: The Company has given loans to employees at concessional rates as per the Company’s policy which have been measured at amortised cost at Balance Sheet date. The recovery of the loan is on fixed installment basis from the monthly salary of the employees. Management has assessed the past data and does not envisage any probability of default on these loans.

c) Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size/networth of the institution/bank, market reputation and service standards and limits and policies as approved by the board of directors to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. The Company invests surplus cash in short term deposits with scheduled Banks.

(B) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due.

The Company’s objective is to maintain optimum levels of liquidity at all times to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings, capital infusion and excess operating cash flows to meet its need for funds. The current committed lines of credit and internal accruals are sufficient to meet its short to medium term expansion needs. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet capital expenditure and operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

Maturities of Financial Liabilities:

The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. Balance due within 1 year is equal to their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant. (refer Note 2.23, 2.24, 2.27 and 2.28 of balance sheet)

(C) Market Risk:

The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates.

(2) Financial Risk Management Financial risk factors

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company''s operations. The Company has loan and other receivables, trade and other receivables, investments and cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operations. The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:

i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions.

ii) Liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. 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. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31st March, 2017 and 31st March, 2016.

The company''s risk management is carried out as per policies approved by Board of Directors from time to time.

(A) Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

a) Trade Receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are mainly state government authorities and operate in largely independent markets.

CERC tariff regulations 2014-19 allows the Company to raise bills on beneficiaries for late-payment surcharge @ 1.5% percent per month. Considering the fact that the average return on short-term investments of the Company as on 31.03.2017 is 7.01% p.a., the interest recovered by way of surcharge adequately compensates the Company for time value of money arising due to delay in payment. Further, the fact that beneficiaries are primarily State Governments/ State Discoms and considering the historical credit loss experience for trade receivables, the Company does not envisage either impairment in the value of receivables from beneficiaries or loss due to time value of money due to delay in realization of trade receivables.

b) Financial assets at amortized cost

Employee Loans: The Company has given loans to employees at concessional rates as per the Company''s policy which have been measured at amortized cost at Balance Sheet date. The recovery of the loan is on fixed installment basis from the monthly salary of the employees. Management has assessed the past data and does not envisage any probability of default on these loans.

c) Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size/ net worth of the institution/bank, market reputation and service standards and limits and policies as approved by the board of directors to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. The Company invests surplus cash in short term deposits with scheduled Banks.

(B) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due.

The Company''s objective is to maintain optimum levels of liquidity at all times to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings, capital infusion and excess operating cash flows to meet its need for funds. The current committed lines of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium term expansion needs. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet capital expenditure and operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

Maturities of Financial Liabilities:

The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the Balance Sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Balance due within 1 year is equal to their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant. (refer Note 2.22, 2.26 and 2.27 of Balance Sheet)

(C) Market Risk:

The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant Statement of Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates.

(i) Interest rate risk and sensitivity

The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long term debt obligations with floating interest rates and any changes in the interest rates environment may impact future cost of borrowing. Company does not have fixed rate borrowings and accordingly not subject to interest rate risk as defined in the IND AS 107.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest expense from borrowings as a result of change in interest rates. With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans and borrowings.

(ii) Price Risk:

(a) Exposure

The company has no exposure to price risk as there is no investment in equity shares which are listed in recognized stock exchange and are publicly traded in the stock exchanges.

(iii) Foreign Currency Risk

(a) Foreign Currency Risk Exposure:

The company''s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR are as follows :

i. The above foreign currency risk exposure is for foreign currency loans taken for construction of Rampur Hydro Power Station from World Bank. As per accounting policy of the company, transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded at exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. At each Balance Sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are reported at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.

ii. Exchange differences arising on translation or settlement of monetary items are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which it arises with the exception that exchange differences on long term monetary items related to acquisition of fixed assets entered up to March 31, 2016 are adjusted to carrying cost of fixed assets.

The Company has elected to avail the exemption available under IND AS 101, with regard to continuation of policy for accounting of exchange differences arising from translation of long term foreign currency monetary liabilities. However, there is no impact on the Profit & Loss of the company due to change in foreign currency rates as the same is the pass through item to the beneficiaries as per CERC guidelines applicable to the period 2014-19.

(3) Capital Management

(a) Capital Risk Management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to maximize the shareholder value. The Company''s primary objective when managing capital is to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and healthy capital ratios and safeguard the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern in order to support its business and provide maximum returns for shareholders. The Company also proposes to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. No

Note: For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all other equity reserves. Net debt includes, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables less cash and short term deposits.

(b) Loan Covenants:

Under the terms of the major borrowing facilities, the company is required to comply with the following financial covenants:-

1. Company shall maintain credit rating AA and if rating comes down, rate of interest shall be increased by 65 basis point for each notch below AA rating in accordance with the applicable rates.

2. Debt to net worth should not exceed 2:1.

During the year the company has complied with the above loan covenants.

Note No. 2.36 :First Time adoption of IND AS

Transition from IGAAP to IND AS

The Company has adopted IND AS for the financial year beginning on April 1, 2016 with April 1, 2015 as the date of transition. These are the Company''s first annual financial statements prepared complying in all material respects with the accounting standards notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, the Companies Act, 2013 and the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003 to the extent applicable.

For periods up to and including the year ended 31 March, 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with IGAAP, including accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended).

Accordingly, the Company has prepared IND AS compliant financial statements for period ending on 31st March, 2017. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has prepared opening IND AS balance sheet as at 1 April, 2015 the Company''s date of transition to Ind-AS in accordance with requirement of IND AS 101, First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its IGAAP financial statements, including the balance sheet as at 1 April 2015 and the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2016 are quantified and explained in detail as Annexure I &II to this Note . However the basic approach adopted is again summarized hereunder:

i) All assets and liabilities have been classified into financial assets/liabilities and non-financial assets/liabilities.

ii) All non-current financial assets/liabilities at below market rate of interest or zero interest and outstanding as on 01.04.2015 have been measured at fair value.

- Loans to employee such as house building advance, car advance, computer advance and scooter advance which are below market interest rate have been fair valued using discounted cash flow method. The interest rate used for valuing the above advances for income tax purpose (level 3 input) have been used as discount rate.

iii) In accordance with IND AS 101, the resulting adjustments are considered as arising from events and transactions entered before date of transition and recognized directly in the retained earnings at the date of transition to IND AS.

iv) The estimates as at 1 April 2015 and at 31 March 2016 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with IGAAP.

v) IND AS 101 also allows to first time adopter certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under IND AS. Accordingly, the company has availed the following exemptions as per IND AS 101:

i) Optional exemptions:

a) Deemed Cost for Property, Plant & Equipment:

Property, Plant and Equipment up to March 31, 2015 were carried in the balance sheet in accordance with Indian GAAP. The Company has elected to avail the exemption granted by IND AS 101, "First time adoption of IND ASs" to regard those amounts as deemed cost at the date of the transition to IND AS (i.e. as on April 1, 2015).

Under the previous GAAP, as per AS 11, the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, provided an alternate accounting treatment to Companies with respect to exchange differences arising on restatement of long-term foreign currency monetary items. Exchange differences on account of depreciable assets could be added/deducted from the cost of depreciable asset, which would then be depreciated over the balance life of the asset. Ind AS 101 allows an exemption for the first time adopter to continue the above accounting treatment in respect of the long term foreign currency monetary items recognized in the financial statements for the period ended immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting period.

b) Designation & Fair value measurement of financial assets or financial liabilities at initial recognition: Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investment in equity instruments at FVTOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. In addition, the exemption permits prospective application of requirements of IND AS 109 to transactions entered into on or after date of transition. Company has not retrospectively applied the amortized cost method for outstanding borrowings as on 01.04.2015 as it is impracticable to apply the same in line with para B8C of Ind AS 101. The impact of which is immaterial.

c) Investment in Subsidiaries and joint ventures: The Company has decided to avail the exemption with regard to measuring the investment in subsidiaries and joint venture as at date of transition at deemed cost which is previous GAAP carrying amount at that date.

d) Leases: Appendix C to Ind AS 17- Leases requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, the assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be not material. The Company has elected to apply this exemption for such arrangements/contracts.

ii) Mandatory exemptions:

a) Estimates: An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with the previous GAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

Ind AS estimates as at 1st April 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP.

(iv) Others

Claims on account of other miscellaneous matters amounting to Rs,165 lakh (previous year Rs,165 lakh and as at 01.04.2015 Rs,165 lakh) mainly on account of notice served by H.P Govt under Himachal Pradesh Public Premises and Land (Eviction and Rent Recovery ) Act, 1971.

As the amounts recommended by the Dispute Review Boards (DRBs)/Additional Dispute Review Boards (ADRBs) are much less than the amounts claimed by the contractors, the claims on account of further interest and escalation, if any, have not been considered.

(ii) Land Compensation cases

In respect of land acquired for the projects, some of the land losers have filed claims for higher compensation amounting to Rs,1791 Lakh (previous year Rs,6193 Lakh and as at 01.04.2015 Rs,6193 Lakh) before various authorities/courts.
