Revenue from operations for FY 2022-23 registered a growth of 39.92% over the previous year due to revival of the Mundra plant''s 1,234 MW Bid-2 Power Purchase Agreement ["PPA”] with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited ["GUVNL”] in March 2022, recognition of prior period revenue from operations of H 2,580 crore in Tiroda TPP due to favourable regulatory orders in respect of Shortfall in domestic coal, improved tariff realisation due to greater merchant / shortterm demand and higher import coal price, and inclusion of operating results of your Company''s wholly owned subsidiary Mahan Energen Limited ["MEL”], which was acquired on 16th March, 2022. Other income for FY 2022-23 registered a growth of 7.34% over the previous year due to higher recognition of prior period other income primarily on account of regulatory orders for carrying costs and collection of late payment surcharges from customers.

Your Company sold 53.39 Billion units of

electricity during FY 2022-23 as against 52.27 Billion units in FY 2021-22 from all the plants with Plant Load Factor (PLF) decreasing from 51.5% in the previous year to 47.9% in FY 2022-23. Capacity under operation increased from 12,450 MW in FY 2021-22 to 13,650 MW in FY 2022-23 following the acquisition of MEL, which owns and operates a 1,200 MW thermal power plant in Singrauli District of Madhya Pradesh.

b) Operating and Administrative Expenses Consolidated Operating and Administrative Expenses during FY 2022-23 were H 28,728.64

crore, which have increased by 60.52% from H 17,897.02 crore in FY 2021-22. The increase

is mainly due to higher fuel cost owing to high prices of import coal, and higher other operating expenses including employee benefits expenses. The percentage of Operating and Administrative

Expenses to Total Revenue has increased to 66.75% in FY 2022-23 from 56.48% in FY 2021-22.

c) Depreciation and Amortization Expenses Consolidated Depreciation and Amortization

Expenses during FY 2022-23 were H 3,303.68 crore, which have increased by 5.97% from H 3,117.54 crore in FY 2021-22 primarily due to the

acquisition of MEL.

Consolidated Finance Costs during FY 2022-23

were H 3,333.50 crore, which have decreased by 18.59% from H 4,094.78 crore in FY 202122, mainly due to reduction in outstanding

loans through prepayment as well as scheduled repayments.

e) Tax

Consolidated Tax (Credit) of H 3,267.37 Crore during FY 2022-23 was mainly due to reversal of deferred tax liability and current tax provision as compared to Tax Expense of H 1,744.80 Crore

during FY 2021-22.

f) Total Comprehensive Income for the year

Consolidated Total Comprehensive Income for FY 2022-23 was higher by 117.15% at H 10,760.38 crore as compared to Total Comprehensive Income of H 4,955.21 crore in FY 2021-22.

Meeting of the Company.

Transfer to Reserves

Consequently, the six aforementioned companies, i.e. APML, APRL, UPCL. REL, REGL, and APMuL now stand amalgamated with APL. Accordingly, the financial statements for FY 2022-23 have been published based on amalgamation and the comparative period numbers have been recasted in standalone Financial Statements in compliance with applicable accounting standards.

frame, implement and monitor the risk management plan for the Company. The RMC is responsible for reviewing the risk management plan and ensuring its effectiveness. The Audit Committee has additional oversight in the area of financial risks and controls.

The Risk Management Framework institutionalized strives to ensure a holistic, mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive, allocation of risks by identifying risks relating to key areas such as operational, regulatory, business and commercial, financial, people, etc. Using this framework we aim to achieve key business objectives, both in the long term and short term, while maintaining a competitive advantage.

A standard 3-step approach has been defined for risk management -

1) Risk Identification

2) Risk Assessment & Prioritization and

3) Risk Mitigation

Following review mechanism is in place for periodic review of the compliance to the risk policy and

tracking of mitigation plans:

¦ Review compliance to Risk Policy, resolve bottlenecks to mitigate risk. Advise the board on risk tolerance and appetite.

¦ Prioritise risk from stations / departments, track

mitigation plan and escalate to steering committee; prepare steering committee document and coordinate meeting.

¦ Review and update risk list; track mitigation plan and share status update with Chief Risk Officer (the

CRO) every month. Share Risk Review document with the CRO.

Once risks have been prioritized, comprehensive

mitigation strategies are defined for each of the prioritized risks. These strategies take into account potential causes of the risk and outline leading risk mitigation practices. In order to ensure the efficacy of this approach, a robust governance structure has also been set in place. Clear roles and responsibilities have been defined at each level right from the site champion to the APL management & leadership.

All associated frameworks (risk categorization & identification); guidelines & practices (risk assessment, prioritization and mitigation) and governance structure have been detailed out in the

“Risk Management Charter” and approved by the

Board.

3. DIVIDEND:

The Board of Directors of your Company, after considering the relevant circumstances holistically

and keeping in view the Company''s dividend distribution policy, has decided that it would be prudent not to recommend any Dividend for the

year under review.

4. COVID-19 PANDEMIC:

Due to outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic globally

and in India, the Company''s management has made initial assessment of likely adverse impact on business and financial risks on account of Covid-19 and the efforts to combat it. The management does not see any medium to long term risks in the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern and meeting its liabilities. The management will

continue to monitor performance and take remedial

measures as needed to respond to the Covid-19 related risk, if any.

The generation and supply of electricity are essential services. During the lockdown announced

by the Central Government to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Power instructed various bodies and agencies of State Governments and urban local administration to ensure that generation of power continues without interruption, and that the movement of fuel, manpower, or machinery is not hampered. As a result of these measures, the Company was able to maintain plant uptime and supply power as per demand. Further, the disruptions caused across the world due to the pandemic created the need for practical and scalable solutions to overcome the challenges of remote working by transforming to new business processes and creating new workflows. The transition to remote working was facilitated by various digital initiatives adopted by the Company.

The demand for power was affected significantly due to the lockdown, as all non-essential industrial and commercial establishments were shut across

the nation. This reduction in demand had an impact on the PLF of most of the power plants of the Company and its subsidiaries, especially during the

first half of FY 2020-21. However, power demand revived quickly after the lockdowns were eased and as economic activity started to normalise.

During the lockdown period, power distribution companies also faced cash flow shortages due to their inability to collect dues from customers on account of restrictions on movement. However, the Government undertook proactive measures to ensure that the liquidity of power generating companies does not get affected adversely. Initially in FY 2020-21 the Government announced financial packages with an aim to provide liquidity to DISCOMs by lending against their receivables and thereby to relieve cash flow bottlenecks in the power sector. The Company has taken necessary steps to ensure adequate liquidity during and beyond the lockdown period.

Power demand for FY 2020-21, measured by energy

demand as well as peak demand, has again reached the level of the demand seen during FY 2019-20, demonstrating the depth and resilience of the Indian economy. Various policies and protocols put in place by the Government and the private sector, combined with timely enhancement of healthcare infrastructure and the experience gained during

the initial phases of the pandemic, will allow the

nation to address recurrence of the contagion in a better way, without causing a prolonged disruption to economic activity. Various multilateral financing institutions and global rating agencies have also taken cognizance of the Indian economy''s growth prospects, and projected a real GDP growth of 10% for FY 2021-22 and 6.8% for FY 2022-23 despite the estimated contraction of (-) 7.3% to (-) 7.5% in FY 2020-21.

On its part, the Company has taken several initiatives to support employees and their families during the pandemic. The Company has also invested a lot in taking requisite initiatives by setting up medical helplines, first line Covid Care Center at Adani Vidyamandir, Ahmedabad etc., and has also extended counselling and self-help services providing psychological support to all its employees.
