6. Project status of Subsidiaries(a) Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL)
CAPL was incorporated to develop an imported coal-based Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW capacity located in Krishnapatnam, District Nellore, in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
The project was awarded to Reliance Power Limited (RPL) through international tariff-based competitive bidding process managed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC), the nodal agency appointed by Ministry of Power. PFC was required to set up special purpose vehicles for each UMPP and to undertake initial development of UMPPs in terms of land acquisition and key clearances and thereafter select a developer for development, financing, construction and operation of the UMPP. On emerging successful, 100% ownership of CAPL was transferred by PFC to RPL pursuant to execution of a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA); thereafter RPL became the Parent Company of CAPL.
CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement which envisaged supply of coal from Indonesia with RCRPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. The Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September, 2010 which prohibited sale of coal, including sale to affiliate companies, at below Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and required adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This regulation also mandated to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September, 2011. The new Indonesian regulations led to steep increase in price of coal imported from Indonesia, making the UMPP unviable and as a result CAPL could not draw down already tied-up debt for the project. The said issue was communicated to the power procurers of the UMPP with a view to enter into mutual discussions to arrive at a suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders. The impact of new Indonesian regulation, being an industrywide issue which impacted all imported coal-based projects in the Country, was also taken up with GoI through the Association of Power Producers.
Since no resolution could be arrived, CAPL invoked the dispute resolution provision of the PPA. The procurers also issued a notice for termination of the PPA and raised a demand for liquidated damages of '' 40,000 lakhs.
CAPL filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi inter-alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The single judge of the High Court at Delhi vide order dated July 02, 2012 dismissed the petition and CAPL filed an appeal against the said order before the Division Bench of the High Court at Delhi. The Division Bench dismissed the appeal on January 15, 2019 and consequently the PPA between procurers and CAPL stood terminated. Thereafter, the procurers have encashed the Performance Bank Guarantees of '' 30,000 lakhs towards recovery of their liquidated damages claim.
CAPL has now filed a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) for referring the dispute to arbitration. Subsequently CAPL requested CERC to adjudicate the dispute itself and allow to file substantive petition which CERC vide order dated October 23, 2021 granted and disposed of the said Petition as withdrawn, with a liberty to CAPL & RPL to approach this Hon''ble Commission with a substantive petition. Accordingly substantive petition is filed before CERC which is currently pending adjudication. This has been shown as receivables from procurer (Refer note 3.4(e) and 26).
As per the terms of SPA among PFC, RPL and CAPL, on termination of PPA under Article 3.3.3 of PPA, PFC has a right to seek transfer of ownership of CAPL to PFC / entity designated by PFC. Accordingly, RPL has requested PFC to initiate process of transfer of ownership of CAPL and invite a procurers'' meeting in that regard to decide on modalities of transfer. As PFC/Procurers are yet to take action on the request of CAPL, R-Power has filed a Writ Petition in DHC for direction to PFC/Procurers to buyback the SPV. Next date of hearing is August 1, 2023.
Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP), citing that the project has not been developed for last 10 years; has issued three land resumption orders dated July 22, 2017, February 25, 2021 and February 27, 2021. Aggrieved by this, CAPL and RPL have filed a Writ Petitions (WP 33246 of 2017 and WP 5058 of 2021) in High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati praying for setting aside the relevant land resumption orders. The High court vide orders dated October 06, 2017 and March 02, 2021 directed both the parties to maintain a "Status Quo". Next date of hearing is awaited.
(b) Samalkot Power Limited (SMPL)
The management had planned to set up a gas-based power plant consisting of 3 modules of 754 MW each at Samalkot (Andhra Pradesh), with gas being sourced from KG-D6 basin. After making significant progress in the construction of the said plant, the Company stopped further construction of the plant due to severe domestic gas shortage and nonavailability of long-term domestic gas linkage.
Out of the three modules, one module has been moved to Bangladesh. Reliance Power Limited, had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) in June 2015 for developing a gas-based project of 3000 MW capacity in a phased manner. Pursuant to the above, Reliance Bangladesh LNG and Power Limited (RBLPL), has concluded a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for supply of 718 MW (net) power from a combined cycle gas-based power plant to be set up at Meghnaghat near Dhaka in Bangladesh as Phase-1 project. RBLPL has signed all the project agreements (Power Purchase Agreement, Implementation Agreement, Land Lease Agreement and Gas Supply Agreement) with Government of Bangladesh authorities on 1 September 2019, and also inducted a strategic partner JERA Power International (Netherlands) - a subsidiary of JERA Co. Inc. (Japan) to invest 49% equity in RBLPL on 2 Sept., 2019. Samsung C&T (South Korea) has been appointed as the EPC contractor for the Bangladesh project. Samalkot Power Ltd. has signed an Equipment Supply Contract (ESC) with Samsung C&T (South Korea) on 11 March, 2020 to sell one module of equipment for the Phase-1 project in Bangladesh and the same was amended between the Parties and approved by US Exim Bank vide a Side Letter dated 3 December, 2020. All the conditions for achieving financial closure were satisfied and Financial Closure achieved and NTP issued by Samsung on 2 Feb., 2021. All the equipment to be supplied by Samalkot Power under the ESC were shipped by November 2021.
The Company has already realized the proceeds from sale of one Module and these have been used to repay a major portion of the outstanding US Exim loan.
For balance two modules, the Company is evaluating various alternatives including setting up next phase of the project in Bangladesh based on the MOU referred above or selling it to other third parties.
Considering the above facts, including the active discussions with the lenders to revise terms of the agreement and financial assistance from the company, the management believes that SMPL would be able to meet its financial and other obligations in foreseeable future.
7. Applicability of NBFC Regulations
The Company, based on the objects given in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, its role in construction and operation of power plants through subsidiaries and other considerations, has been legally advised that it is not covered under the provisions of Non-Banking Financial Company as defined in the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and accordingly, is not required to be registered under section 45 IA of the said Act.
The Company proposed to develop a 7,480 MW gas-based power project to be located at Dadri, District Hapur, Uttar Pradesh in the year 2003. The Government of Uttar Pradesh (the GoUP) in the year 2004 acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in the year 2005, However, certain land owners challenged the acquisition of land by the GoUP for the project before the Hon''ble Allahabad High Court. The Hon''ble Allahabad High Court quashed a part of land acquisition proceedings. Subsequently, in the appeals filed by the Company and land owners against the findings of the Hon''ble Allahabad High Court, the Hon''ble Supreme Court held the land acquisition proceedings as lapsed but upheld the right of the Company to recover the amount paid in any other proceeding. The Company has represented to the GoUP seeking compensation towards cost incurred on the land acquisition as well as other incidental expenditure thereto. Considering the above facts, the Company has classified assets related to the Dadri project under the head ''Assets
classified as held for sale'' the Company has fully provided for receivables of '' 1 5,005 lakhs against the Dadri project. GoUP has not paid the agreed amount and consequently the Company invoked arbitration against GoUP. Arbitration Tribunal after pleadings disposed of the petition on 20.06.2022 and allowed claim of the Company GoUP has appealed in Delhi High Court against the Arbitral Award. Next date of hearing in the appeal is pending.
(c) Post employment obligation Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit plan, governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1 972. The plan entitles an employee, who has rendered at least five years of continuous service, to gratuity at the rate of fifteen days basic salary for every completed years of services or part thereof in excess of six months, based on the rate of basic salary last drawn by the employee concerned.
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. While calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liabilities recognised in the balance sheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(iv) The above defined benefit gratuity plan was administrated 100% by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
(v) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions
The Company will pay demand raised by LIC towards gratuity liability on time to time basis to eliminate the deficit in defined benefit plan.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 2.41 years (March 31, 2022 - 3.19 years).
(vi) The Company has seconded certain employees to the subsidiaries. As per the terms of the secondment, liability towards salaries, provident fund and leave encashment will be provided and paid by the respective subsidiaries and gratuity will be paid / provided by the Company. Accordingly, provision for gratuity includes cost in respect of seconded employees
(vii) The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets under perform this yield, this will create a deficit.

(e) Valuation technique used to determine fair values
The fair value of financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The carrying amount of current financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.
The fair value of the long-term borrowings with floating-rate of interest is not impacted due to interest rate changes, and will be evaluated for their carrying amounts based on any change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company borrowing (since the date of inception of the loans).
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount is equal to the fair values.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) 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.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities which are included in level 3.
There are no transfers between any levels during the year.
The Company''s policy is to recognise transfer into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets carried at amortised cost and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to trade customers including outstanding receivables.
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''s credit risk arises from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity is based on tariff rate approved by electricity regulator and inter-corporate deposits/loans are given to subsidiaries incorporated as special purpose vehicle for power projects awarded to the Company. The credit risk is very low as the sale of electricity is based on the terms of the PPA which has been approved by the Regulator. With respect to inter corporate deposits/ loans given to subsidiaries, the Company will be able to control the cash flows of those subsidiaries as the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company.
For deposits with banks and financial institutions, only highly rated banks/institutions are accepted. Generally all policies surrounding credit risk have been managed at company level. The Company''s policy to manage this risk is to invest in debt securities that have a good credit rating.
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 and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company''s treasury function maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
In respect of its existing operations, the Company funds its activities primarily through long-term loans secured against each power plant. In addition, each of the operating plants has working capital loans available to it which are renewed annually, together with certain intra-group loans. The Company''s objective in relation to its existing operating business is to maintain sufficient funding to allow the plants to operate at an optimal level.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at the operating subsidiaries level of the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintained debt financing plans.
Periodic budgets and rolling forecasts are prepared at the level of operating subsidiaries as regular practice and in accordance with limits specified by the Company. There is delay/ default in repayment of loans for '' 51,669 lakhs as at the end of the financial year. The Company has been pursuing proposed strategic transactions/ sale of assets and overall financial restructuring, when executed, would make available the required liquidity for the continuing business and would also provide an extended maturity period for repayment of restructured balance debt.
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of volatility of prices in the financial markets. Market risk can be further segregated as: a) Foreign currency risk and b) Interest rate risk.
(i) Foreign currency risk
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. The Company holds monetary assets in the form of investments in US Dollar. Further it has long term monetary liabilities which are in US dollar other than its functional currency.
While the Company has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings, it may also be indirectly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings of companies in which the Company invests. For that reason, the below sensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Company''s net assets attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements 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.

6. Project status of Subsidiaries
(a) Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL)
CAPL was incorporated to develop an imported coal-based Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW capacity located in Krishnapatnam, District Nellore, in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
The project was awarded to Reliance Power Limited (RPL) through international tariff-based competitive bidding process managed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC), the nodal agency appointed by Ministry of Power. PFC was required to set up special purpose vehicles for each UMPP and to undertake initial development of UMPPs in terms of land acquisition and key clearances and thereafter select a developer for development, financing, construction and operation of the UMPP. On emerging successful, 100% ownership of CAPL was transferred by PFC to RPL pursuant to execution of a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA); thereafter RPL became the Parent Company of CAPL.
CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement which envisaged supply of coal from Indonesia with RCRPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. The Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September, 2010 which prohibited sale of coal, including sale to affiliate companies, at below Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and required adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This regulation also mandated to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September, 2011. The new Indonesian regulations led to steep increase in price of coal imported from Indonesia, making the UMPP unviable and as a result CAPL could not draw down already tied-up debt for the project. The said issue was communicated to the power procurers of the UMPP with a view to enter into mutual discussions to arrive at a suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders. The impact of new Indonesian regulation, being an industry-wide issue which impacted all imported coal-based projects in the Country, was also taken up with GoI through the Association of Power Producers.
Since no resolution could be arrived, CAPL invoked the dispute resolution provision of the PPA. The procurers also issued a notice for termination of the PPA and raised a demand for liquidated damages of '' 40,000 lakhs.
CAPL filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi inter-alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The single judge of the High Court at Delhi vide order dated July 02, 2012 dismissed the petition and CAPL filed an appeal against the said order before the Division Bench of the High Court at Delhi. The Division Bench dismissed the appeal on January 15, 2019 and consequently the PPA between procurers and CAPL stood terminated. Thereafter, the procurers have encashed the Performance Bank Guarantees of '' 30,000 lakhs towards recovery of their liquidated damages claim.
CAPL has now filed a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) for referring the dispute to arbitration. Subsequently CAPL requested CERC to adjudicate the dispute itself and allow to file substantive petition which CERC vide order dated October 23, 2021 granted and disposed of the said Petition as withdrawn, with a liberty to CAPL &
RPL to approach this Hon''ble Commission with a substantive petition. Accordingly substantive petition is filed before CERC which and the petition is currently pending adjudication before CERC. This has been shown as receivable from procurer (Refer Note No.3.5(e))
As per the terms of SPA among PFC, RPL and CAPL, on termination of PPA under Article 3.3.3 of PPA, PFC has a right to seek transfer of ownership of CAPL to PFC / entity designated by PFC. Accordingly, RPL has requested PFC to initiate process of transfer of ownership of CAPL and invite a procurers'' meeting in that regard to decide on modalities of transfer. As PFC/ Procurers are yet to take action on the request of CAPL, R-Power has filed a Writ Petition in DHC for direction to PFC/ Procurers to buyback the SPV. Next date of hearing is awaited.
Government of Andhra Pradesh, citing that the project has not been developed for last 10 years; has issued three land resumption orders dated July 22, 2017, February 25, 2021 and February 27, 2021. Aggrieved by this, CAPL and RPL have filed a Writ Petitions (WP 33246 of 2017 and WP 5058 of 2021) in High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati praying for setting aside the relevant land resumption orders. The High Court vide orders dated October 06, 2017 and March 02, 2021 directed both the parties to maintain a "Status Quo". Next date of hearing is awaited.
(b) Samalkot Power Limited (SMPL)
(i) With respect to 1508 Mega Watt (MW) (754 MW X 2 ) Plant
There is a continued uncertainty regarding availability of natural gas in the country for operation of the plant, and while SMPL is actively pursuing with relevant authorities for securing gas linkages / supply at commercially viable prices / generation opportunities, it is also evaluating alternative arrangements / approaches, including marketing of equipment pursuant to an agreement with US-EXIM, to deal with the situation. SMPL is confident of arriving at a positive resolution to the foregoing in the foreseeable future and therefore, the carrying amount of capital work in progress is considered recoverable.
(ii) With respect to 754 MW Plant
The Company, had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) for developing a gas-based project of a 3000 MW capacity in a phased manner. Pursuant to the above, Reliance Bangladesh LNG and Power Limited (RBLPL), subsidiary of the Company has taken steps to conclude a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for supply of 718 MW (net) power from a combined cycle gas-based power plant to be set up at Meghnaghat near Dhaka in Bangladesh.
RBLPL has signed all the project agreements (Power Purchase Agreement, Implementation Agreement, Land Lease Agreement and Gas Supply Agreement) with Government of Bangladesh authorities on September 01, 2019, and also inducted a strategic partner JERA Power International (Netherlands) - a subsidiary of JERA Co. Inc. (Japan) to invest 49% equity in RBLPL on September 02, 2019. Samsung C&T (South Korea) (SCTK) has been appointed as the EPC contractor for the Bangladesh project. SMPL has signed an Equipment Supply Contract on March 1 1, 2020 to sell equipment of one module. All the project lenders including ADB, JBIC and NEXI have approved the financing of the project and financing agreements were signed in July 2020. All the conditions for achieving financial closure were satisfied and Financial Closure achieved and NTP issued by Samsung on February 02, 2021. Customs authorities have approved the export of equipment by Samalkot Power and first consignment was exported on March 03, 2021. All remaining equipment under the contract has been exported and the last shipment was exported in November, 2021. SMPL has realized the proceeds for transfer of one Module equipment in full and the proceeds have been used to repay a major portion of the outstanding US Exim loan. A separate reserve of ~ Rs 25,500 lakhs has also been created out of the sale proceeds as per the agreement with US Exim Bank. Having regard to the above plans, and the continued financial support from the Company, the management believes that SMPL would be able to meet its financial and other obligations in the foreseeable future.
7. Applicability of NBFC Regulations
The Company, based on the objects given in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, its role in construction and operation of power plants through subsidiaries and other considerations, has been legally advised that it is not covered under the provisions of Non-Banking Financial Company as defined in the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1 934 and accordingly, is not required to be registered under section 45 IA of the said Act.
The Company proposed to develop a 7,480 MW gas-based power project to be located at Dadri, District Hapur, Uttar Pradesh in the year 2003. The Government of Uttar Pradesh (the GoUP) in the year 2004 acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in the year 2005. However, certain land owners challenged the acquisition of land by the GoUP for the project before the Hon''ble Allahabad High Court. The Hon''ble Allahabad High Court quashed a part of land acquisition proceedings. Subsequently, in the appeals filed by the Company and land owners against the findings of the Hon''ble Allahabad High Court, the Hon''ble Supreme Court held the land acquisition proceedings as lapsed but upheld the right of the Company to recover the amount paid in any other proceeding. The Company has represented to the GoUP seeking compensation towards cost incurred on the land acquisition as well as other incidental expenditure thereto. Considering the above facts, the Company has classified assets related to the Dadri project under the head ''Assets classified as held for sale''. The Company has fully provided for receivables of '' 15,005 lakhs against the Dadri project. However, GoUP did not pay the balance agreed amount hence the Company invoked Arbitration Clause. Arbitration proceedings are under progress and next sitting of the Tribunal is on June 06, 2022.
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. While calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

The fair value of financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The carrying amount of current financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.
The fair value of the long-term borrowings with floating-rate of interest is not impacted due to interest rate changes, and will be evaluated for their carrying amounts based on any change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company borrowing (since the date of inception of the loans).
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount is equal to the fair values.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) 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.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities which are included in level 3.
There are no transfers between any levels during the year.
The Company''s policy is to recognise transfer into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets carried at amortised cost and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to trade customers including outstanding receivables.
Credit risk management
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''s credit risk arises from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity is based on tariff rate approved by electricity regulator and inter-corporate deposits/loans are given to subsidiaries incorporated as special purpose vehicle for power projects awarded to the Company. The credit risk is very low as the sale of electricity is based on the terms of the PPA which has been approved by the Regulator. With respect to inter corporate deposits/ loans given to subsidiaries, the Company will be able to control the cash flows of those subsidiaries as the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company.
For deposits with banks and financial institutions, only highly rated banks/institutions are accepted. Generally all policies surrounding credit risk have been managed at company level. The Company''s policy to manage this risk is to invest in debt securities that have a good credit rating.
(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 and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company''s treasury function maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
In respect of its existing operations, the Company funds its activities primarily through long-term loans secured against each power plant. In addition, each of the operating plants has working capital loans available to it which are renewed annually, together with certain intra-group loans. The Company''s objective in relation to its existing operating business is to maintain sufficient funding to allow the plants to operate at an optimal level.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at the operating subsidiaries level of the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintained debt financing plans.
Periodic budgets and rolling forecasts are prepared at the level of operating subsidiaries as regular practice and in accordance with limits specified by the Company. There is delay/ default in repayment of loans for '' 93,772 lakhs as at the end of the financial year. The Company has been pursuing proposed strategic transactions/ sale of assets and overall financial restructuring, when executed, would make available the required liquidity for the continuing business and would also provide an extended maturity period for repayment of restructured balance debt.
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of volatility of prices in the financial markets. Market risk can be further segregated as: a) Foreign currency risk and b) Interest rate risk.
(i) Foreign currency risk
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. The Company holds monetary assets in the form of investments in US Dollar. Further it has long term monetary liabilities which are in US dollar other than its functional currency.
While the Company has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings, it may also be indirectly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings of companies in which the Company invests. For that reason, the below sensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Company''s net assets attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements 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. The Company''s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company''s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in Rupees.
17. Capital Management (a) Risk Management
The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

2.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements under Ind AS requires management to take decisions and make estimates and assumptions that may impact the value of revenues, costs, assets and liabilities and the related disclosures concerning the items involved as well as contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(a) Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company has estimated its useful life of wind power assets based on the expected wear and tear, industry trends etc. In actual, the wear and tear can be different. When the useful life differ from the original estimated useful life, the Company will adjust the estimated useful life accordingly. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are different to the actual outcomes within the next financial period and could cause a material adjustment to the carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment.
(b) Income taxes
There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and would get finalized on completion of assessment by tax authorities. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company is eligible to claim tax holiday on income generated from wind power generation. The deferred tax on temporary differences which are reversing after the tax holiday period have been estimated considering future projections and Company''s plan to start claiming tax holiday in certain years. It is possible that this estimate may be different to the actual outcome within the next financial periods and could cause material adjustments to the deferred tax recognized in financial statements. (Refer note 15)
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the same can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
(c) Fair value measurement and valuation process
The Company measured its investments in equity shares of subsidiaries at fair value and certain financial assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
The fair values of investments in subsidiaries are not quoted in an active market and are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily earnings multiples and discounted cash flows. The models used to determine fair values including estimates/ judgments involved are validated and periodically reviewed by the management. The inputs used in the valuation models include unobservable data of the Companies which are categorized within level III fair value measurements. They are based on historical experience, technical evaluation and other factors, including expectations of future events. Considering the level of estimation involved and unobservable inputs, the Company has engaged a third party qualified valuer to perform the valuation. Based on the actual performance of respective subsidiaries project, the inputs considered for valuation may vary materially and could cause a material adjustment to carrying amount of investments. (Refer note 16 and 17).
(d) Estimation of employee benefit obligation
Refer note 2.1 (o)
7.5% Compulsory Convertible Redeemable Non-Cumulative Preference Shares (CCRPS)
1The issuer companies shall have a call option on the CCRPS which can be exercised by them in one or more tranches and in part or in full before the end of agreed tenure (20 years) of the said shares. In case the call option is exercised, the CCRPS shall be redeemed at an issue price (i.e. face value and premium). The Company, however, shall have an option to convert the CCRPS into equity shares at any time during the tenure of such CCRPS. At the end of tenure and to the extent the issuer Companies or the CCRPS holders thereof have not exercised their options, the CCRPS shall be compulsorily converted into equity shares. On conversion, in either case, each CCRPS shall be converted into equity shares of corresponding value (including the premium applicable thereon). In case the Issuer companies declare dividend on their equity shares, the CCRPS holders will also be entitled to the equity dividend in addition to the coupon rate of dividend.
Considering the said terms, these investments have been classified as equity and fair valued through Other Comprehensive Income.

CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement which envisaged supply of coal from Indonesia with Reliance Coal Resources Private Limited (RCRPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In view of below mentioned new regulation, RCRPL cannot supply coal at the agreed price, because of which there is a risk of inability to pass through market linked prices of imported coal for the project, whereas the power needs to be supplied at a pre-agreed tariff as per the terms of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September, 2010 which prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affiliate companies, at below Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and requires adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This regulation also mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September, 2011. The said issue was communicated to the power procurers and also to the Government of India through the Association of Power Producers to arrive at a suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.
Since no resolution could be arrived, CAPL invoked the dispute resolution provision of PPA. The procurers have also issued a notice for termination of PPA and have raised a demand for liquidated damages of Rs, 40,000 lakhs (including bank guarantee of Rs, 30,000 lakhs, which has been provided by the Company on behalf of CAPL).
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi inter-alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 2012 has prohibited the Procurers from taking any coercive steps against CAPL. The single judge of the Delhi High Court vide order dated July 02, 201 2 dismissed the petition and the appeal filed by CAPL against the said order is pending before the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court.
CAPL has also filed a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) without prejudice to the proceedings pending before the Delhi High Court and the arbitration process has already been initiated. During the course of the CERC proceedings, the power procurers contended that the petition could not be taken up for hearing by CERC since the matter was pending at High Court. CAPL, in response contended that both proceedings are different and independent. The CERC petition did not raise the issue of notice of termination. Considering appeal is pending before the Delhi High Court, CERC has disposed off the petition vide its order dated August 06, 2015 with a liberty to the Petitioner to approach the Commission at an appropriate stage in accordance with law.

(i) Provident fund
(ii) Superannuation fund
(iii) State defined contribution plans
- Employees'' Pension Scheme, 1995
The provident fund and the state defined contribution plan are operated by the regional provident fund commissioner and the superannuation fund is administered by the trust. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits.
(c) Post employment obligation Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit plan, governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The plan, entitles an employee, who has rendered at least five years of continuous service, to gratuity at the rate of fifteen days basic salary for every completed years of services or part thereof in excess of six months, based on the rate of basic salary last drawn by the employee concerned.
(i) Significant estimates: actuarial assumptions
Valuation in respect of gratuity has been carried out by an independent actuary, as at the Balance Sheet date, based on the following assumptions:
The estimate of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market.
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. While calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the balance sheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(iv) The above defined benefit gratuity plan was administrated 100% by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017

(c) Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)
The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017:
(d) Valuation processes
The Company has obtained assistance of independent and competent third party valuation experts to perform the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the Company and the valuer on periodic basis.
Discount rates are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.
(f) Valuation technique used to determine fair values
The fair value of financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The carrying amount of current financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.
The fair value of the long-term borrowings with floating-rate of interest is not impacted due to interest rate changes, and will not be significantly different from their carrying amounts as there is no significant change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company borrowing (since the date of inception of the loans). Further, the Company has no long-term borrowings with fixed rate of interest except 12.18% Listed redeemable non convertible debentures.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount is equal to the fair values.
Note:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) 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.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities which are included in level 3.
There are no transfers between any levels during the year.
The Company''s policy is to recognize transfer into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets carried at amortized cost and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to trade customers including outstanding receivables.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.
The Company''s credit risk arises from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity is based on tariff rate approved by electricity regulator and inter-corporate deposits/loans are given to subsidiaries incorporated as special purpose vehicle for power projects awarded to the Company. The credit risk is very low as the sale of electricity is based on the terms of the PPA which has been approved by the Regulator. With respect to inter corporate deposits/ loans given to subsidiaries, the Company will be able to control the cash flows of those subsidiaries as the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company.
For deposits with banks and financial institutions, only highly rated banks/institutions are accepted. Generally all policies surrounding credit risk have been managed at company level. The Company''s policy to manage this risk is to invest in debt securities that have a good credit rating.
(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 and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company''s treasury function maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
In respect of its existing operations, the Company funds its activities primarily through long-term loans secured against each power plant. In addition, each of the operating plants has working capital loans available to it which are renewed annually, together with certain intra-group loans. The Company''s objective in relation to its existing operating business is to maintain sufficient funding to allow the plants to operate at an optimal level.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at the operating subsidiaries level of the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintained debt financing plans.
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
The amounts disclosed below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
* Includes contractual interest payments based on the interest rate prevailing at the reporting date.
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of volatility of prices in the financial markets. Market risk can be further segregated as: a) Foreign currency risk and b) Interest rate risk.
(i) Foreign currency risk
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. The Company holds monetary assets in the form of investments in US Dollar. Further it has long term monetary liabilities which are in US dollar other than its functional currency.
While the Company has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings, it may also be indirectly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings of companies in which the Company invests. For that reason, the below sensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Company''s net assets attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements in foreign exchange rates.
* Holding all other variables constant
The above amounts have been disclosed based on the accounting policy for exchange differences (Refer note 2.1(m).
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company''s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in Rupees.
The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS-107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
1) Capital Management

CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement which envisaged supply of coal from Indonesia with Reliance Coal Resources Private Limited (RCRPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In view of below mentioned new regulation, RCRPL cannot supply coal at the agreed price, because of which there is a risk of inability to pass through market linked prices of imported coal for the project, whereas the power needs to be supplied at a pre-agreed tariff as per the terms of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September, 2010 which prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affiliate companies, at below Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and requires adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This regulation also mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September, 2011. The said issue was communicated to the power procurers and also to the Government of India through the Association of Power Producers to arrive at a suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders,
Since no resolution could be arrived, CAPL invoked the dispute resolution provision of PPA. The procurers have also issued a notice for termination of PPA and have raised a demand for liquidated damages of Rs, 40,000 lakhs (including bank guarantee of Rs, 30,000 lakhs, which has been issued by the holding company on behalf of CAPL),
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi, inter-alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 2012 has prohibited the Procurers from taking any coercive steps against the CAPL. The single judge of the Delhi High Court vide order dated July 02, 2012 dismissed the petition and the appeal filed by CAPL against the said order is pending before the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court. The interim protection against encashing bank guarantees continues to be available.
CAPL has also filed a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) without prejudice to the proceedings pending before the Delhi High Court and the arbitration process has already been initiated. During the course of the CERC proceedings, the power procurers contended that the petition could not be taken up for hearing by CERC since the matter was pending at High Court. CAPL, in response contended that both proceedings are different and independent. The CERC petition did not raise the issue of notice of termination. Considering appeal is pending before the Delhi High Court, CERC has disposed off the petition vide its order dated August 06,2015 with a liberty to the Petitioner to approach the Commission at an appropriate stage in accordance with law.
Based on the impairment assessment, the Company had provided for diminution in the value of equity investments amounting to '' 52,500 lakhs in the Previous GAAP financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016,

employees of the Company and its subsidiaries on satisfying the performance and other eligibility criteria set out in ESOS Plan, In accordance with the ESOS Scheme, each option entitles an employee to apply for one fully paid equity share of '' 10 of the Company at an exercise price of '' 162 per share. Pursuant to the amendments made to the ESOS Scheme as approved by the ESOS Compensation Committee of the Board, effective from April 01, 2014, the Independent Directors of the Company shall not be eligible to participate in the Scheme. Further, the exercise period of the vested options may be different for different plans and shall not be longer than ten years from the date of vesting,
Under Previous GAAP, the Company had accounted the employee stock compensation expenses as per the ''Intrinsic Value Method''. No expense was required to be recognized as the stock options'' exercise price was higher than the traded price on the date of grant of those stock options. Under Ind AS, the Company has to recognize such expense based on fair value of the options on the grant date. The Company has elected to take optional exemption in accordance with Ind AS 101 and did not fair value the options which are vested before transition date.
The fair value of stock options granted was determined under Binomial Option Pricing - Hull & White Model. The details pertaining to number of stock options, weighted average price and assumptions considered for fair value are disclosed below:
The expected volatility was determined based on the volatility of the equity share for the period of one year prior to issue of the stock option.
The Company had in earlier years given an advance of Rs, 14,000 lakhs to RPET for purchase of its shares from the open market, as per the ESOS Plan of the Company. RPET had, in turn, in earlier years purchased 8,500,000 equity shares of the Company, Under Previous GAAP, considering the current market value of the shares, option exercise price and other factors, the Company had written down the value of investment held by RPET of Rs, 9,801 lakhs in the Treasury Shares as an exceptional item during the year ended March 31, 2016.
Pursuant to the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation (Scheme) sanctioned by the High Court of Bombay on October 15, 2010, the Company is permitted to offset any expense or loss which in the opinion of the Board of the Company is related to factors such as variation in exchange rates which are beyond the control of the Company, debited in the Statement of Profit and Loss by a corresponding withdrawal from General Reserve.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, under Previous GAAP, the Board of Directors of the Company, in terms of the aforesaid Scheme had identified the write down in the value of investment held by Reliance Power ESOS Trust of Rs, 9,801 lakhs as an exceptional item, which is beyond the control of the Company and accordingly, the write down in the value of advances to ESOS trust in the Statement of Profit and Loss was offset by withdrawal of an equivalent amount from General Reserve (arisen pursuant to the Scheme),
On adoption of Ind AS with transition date of April 1, 2015, the Company treats the RPET as its extension and shares held by RPET are treated as treasury shares and accordingly, the face value of shares has been reduced from share capital and balance amount has been disclosed as treasury shares. Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2016 and thereafter, the diminution in value of treasury shares so provided for has now been adjusted in the value of treasury shares and an equivalent amount has been withdrawn from General Reserve (arisen pursuant to the Scheme) to offset the adjustment recorded in the treasury shares, which may be considered to override the relevant provisions of Ind AS 102 - ''Share based Payment'' and Ind AS 1-Presentation of financial statements,
8) Status of Dadri Project
The Company proposed developing a 7,480 MW gas-fired power project to be located at the Dhirubhai Ambani Energy City in Dehra village, Dadri, Uttar Pradesh in the year 2003. The state of Uttar Pradesh (The State) in the year 2004 acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in the year 2005. The acquisition of land by the State for the project was challenged by certain land owners in the Allahabad High Court. The High Court quashed a part of acquisition proceedings by the State and directed them to fulfill certain compliances. Subsequent to the judgment of High Court on compliances and procedures relating to land acquisition the Company filed an appeal before Supreme Court. Before the pronouncement of judgment by the Supreme Court, the Company submitted an affidavit stating its inability to continue with the project because of the difficulty in securing the gas supply for the project. The Supreme Court in its order disposed off the appeal and upheld the right of the Company to recover the amount paid towards the land acquired and conveyed to it by the State on its return to the State.
The Company has already conveyed its intent to return the acquired land to Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP) and raised the claim for the cost incurred on the land acquisition as well as other incidental expenditure thereto,
Considering the above facts, the Company has classified assets related to Dadri project under head ''Non-current assets classified as held for sale''.
The Company has realized amount of Rs, Nil (previous year Rs, 2,522 lakhs) from the Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP) and the balance amount is expected to be recovered in the future,
Based on correspondence received from GoUP in current year towards compensation for land and interest thereon. The Company has recognized an interest income of Rs, 7,500 lakhs,
9) Employee benefit obligations
The Company has classified various employee benefits as under: a) Leave obligations
The leave obligations cover the Company liability for sick and privileged leave,
The provident fund and the state defined contribution plan are operated by the regional provident fund commissioner and the superannuation fund is administered by the trust. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits.
The Company has recognized the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year:
c) Post employment obligation Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit plan, governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The plan entitles an employee, who has rendered at least five years of continuous service, to gratuity at the rate of fifteen days basic salary for every completed years of services or part thereof in excess of six months, based on the rate of basic salary last drawn by the employee concerned,
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. While calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the balance sheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(iv) The above defined benefit gratuity plan was administrated 100% by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) as at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 as well as April 01, 2015.
(v) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions:
The Company will pay demand raised by LIC towards gratuity liability on time to time basis to eliminate the deficit in defined benefit plan,
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 8.43 years (201 6 - 8.98 years, 2015- 8.64 years),
(vi) The Company has seconded certain employees to the subsidiaries. As per the terms of the secondment, liability towards salaries, provident fund and leave encashment will be provided and paid by the respective subsidiaries and gratuity will be paid / provided by the Company. Accordingly, provision for gratuity includes cost in respect of seconded employees,
(vii) The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets under perform this yield, this will create a deficit,

(b) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at Amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table,
(f) Valuation technique used to determine fair values
The main level 3 inputs used by the Company are derived and evaluated as follows:
The fair value of financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis,
The carrying amount of current financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature,
The fair value of the long-term Borrowings with floating-rate of interest is not impacted due to interest rate changes and will not be significantly different from their carrying amounts as there is no significant change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company borrowing (since the date of inception of the loans). Further, the Company has no long-term Borrowings with fixed rate of interest,
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount is equal to the fair values.
Note:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize 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.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3, This is the case for unlisted equity securities which are included in level 3,
There are no transfers between any levels during the year.
The Company''s policy is to recognize transfer into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets carried at Amortized cost and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to trade customers including outstanding receivables,
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss,
The Company''s credit risk arises from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity is based on tariff rate approved by electricity regulator and inter-corporate deposits/loans are given to subsidiaries incorporated as special purpose vehicle for power projects awarded to the Company. The credit risk is very low as the sale of electricity is based on the terms of the PPA, which has been approved by the regulator. With respect to Inter-corporate deposits/loans given to subsidiaries, the Company will be able to control the cash flows of those subsidiaries as the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company,
For banks and financial institutions, only highly rated banks/institutions are accepted. Generally all policies surrounding credit risk have been managed at company level. The Company''s policy to manage this risk is to invest in debt securities that have a good credit rating,
(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 and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, company''s treasury function maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
In respect of its existing operations, the Company funds its activities primarily through long-term loans secured against each power plant and long terms loans and advances. In addition, each of the operating plants has working capital loans available to it which are renewed annually, together with certain intra-group loans. The Company''s objective in relation to its existing operating business is to maintain sufficient funding to allow the plants to operate at an optimal level.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at the operating subsidiaries level of the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintained debt financing plans,
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
The amounts disclosed below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant,
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of volatility of prices in the financial markets. Market risk can be further segregated as: i) Foreign currency risk and ii) Interest rate risk,
(i) Foreign currency risk
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. The Company holds monetary assets in the form of investments in US Dollar. Further it has long term monetary liabilities which are in US dollar other than its functional currency.
While the Company has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings, it may also be indirectly affected by the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings of companies in which the Company invests. For that reason, the below sensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Company''s net assets attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements in foreign exchange rates,
* Holding all other variables constant
The above amounts have been disclosed based on the accounting policy for exchange differences (Refer note 2(l)).
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During March 31, 2016 and April 01, 2015 the Company''s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in Rupees.
The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at Amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS -107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
11) Capital Management
(a) Risk Management
The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt,
The Company monitors capital on basis of total equity and debt on a periodic basis. Equity comprises all components of equity including the fair value impact. Debt includes long-term loan and short term loans .The following table summarizes the capital of the Company:
(b) The Company is regular in payment of its debt service obligation and the Company has not received any communication from lendors for non compliance of any debt covenant,
(c) Final Dividends for the year ended March 31, 2017 is '' Nil (March 31, 2016: '' 28,051 lakhs @ '' 1 per fully paid up shares).

16) Disclosure under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006

9. Project status of Subsidiaries
(a) Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL)
CAPL, a wholly owned subsidiary, has been set up to develop an Ultra
Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW capacity located in
Krishnapatnam, District Nellore, based on imported coal.
CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement which
envisaged supply of coal from Indonesia with Reliance Coal Resources
Private Limited (RCRPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In
view of below mentioned new regulation, RCRPL cannot supply coal at the
already agreed price, because of which there is a risk of inability to
pass through market linked prices of imported coal for the project,
whereas the power needs to be supplied at a pre-agreed tariff as per
the terms of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The
Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September 2010
which prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affiliate companies, at
below Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and
requires adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This regulation also
mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts with the
new regulations within one year i.e. by September 2011. The said issue
has been communicated to the power procurers and also to the Government
of India through the Association of Power Producers to arrive at a
suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.
Since no resolution could be arrived at CAPL invoked the dispute
resolution provision of PPA. The procurers have also issued a notice
for termination of PPA and have raised a demand for liquidated damages
of Rs. 40,000 lakhs (including bank guarantee of Rs. 30,000 lakhs,
which has been issued by the holding company on behalf of CAPL).
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi,
inter-alia, for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 2012
has prohibited the Procurers from taking any coercive steps against the
CAPL. The single judge of the Delhi High Court vide order dated July 2,
2012 dismissed the petition and the appeal filed by CAPL against the
said order is pending before the Division Bench of the Delhi High
Court. The interim protection against encashing bank guarantees
continues to be available.
CAPL has also filed a petition before the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission (CERC) without prejudice to the proceedings
pending before the Delhi High Court and the arbitration process has
already initiated. During the course of the CERC proceedings, the power
procurers contended that the petition could not be taken up for hearing
by CERC since the matter was pending at High Court. CAPL, in response
contended that both proceedings are different and independent. The CERC
petition did not raise issue of notice of termination. Considering
appeal is pending before the Delhi High Court, CERC has disposed off
the petition vide its order dated 06.08.2015 with a liberty to the
Petitioner to approach the Commission at appropriate stage in
accordance with law.
Based on the impairment assessment, considering the current status of
the project, nature of expenditure incurred and estimated timeline for
settlement of this matter, the Company has provided for diminution in
the value of equity investments of Rs. 52,500 lakhs as an exceptional
item in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account.
(Also refer note 10 (a)).
(b) Samalkot Power Limited (SMPL)
SMPL, a wholly owned subsidiary, is in the process of constructing a
gas based power plant at Kakinada, which based on the current
circumstances, has planned its construction work and consequential
commercial operations thereafter progressively starting from 2017-2018
and it has incurred an aggregated cost of Rs. 920,141 lakhs as at March
31, 2016. SMPL has applied for allocation of gas and Ministry of
Petroleum and Gas (MoPNG) is yet to allocate the gas linkage.
Considering that the gas availability in the country has dropped
significantly and also based on gas availability projected scenarios in
subsequent years. SMPL is actively pursuing / making representations
with various government authorities to secure the gas linkage / supply
and is evaluating alternative arrangements / various approaches to deal
with the situation in respect of its 2,262 MW (754 MW X 3) gas based
power project.
SMPL is also exploring options for relocating the project, partially or
fully, to other countries and in this context the Parent Company has
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Government of
Bangladesh (GoB) for developing gas project of 3,000 MW capacity.
Subsequent to the year end, GoB has given an in principle approval for
setting up of a 754 MW project at Meghnaghat, together with setting up
of a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) based Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) terminal at Maheshkhali, for which project agreements
are being negotiated. In view of the above developments, SMPL is
presently continuing with implementation of 1,508 MW (754 MW X 2) at
existing location and plans to relocate the balance 754 MW capacity
(754 MW X 1) to Bangladesh.
Based on the business plans and valuation assessment done by the
management of SMPL, it is confident that the carrying value of net
assets of SMPL is appropriate and consequently, there is no diminution
in the value of investment made by the Company..
(c) Jharkhand Integrated Power Limited (JIPL)

As per the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between JIPL and the
Procurers, the Procurers were obligated to comply with conditions
subsequent to entering the PPA which inter-alia required providing
requisite land for the Project within 6 months of the Project Transfer.
Considering the status of the project and updates from the procurers,
the Company terminated the PPA on April 28, 2015 as per the option
available therein. The procurers have also agreed to the termination of
the PPA by JIPL and have agreed to pay certain expenditure incurred by
JIPL on the project pursuant to the minutes of the meeting held on
November 03, 2015. It has also been agreed that the shares held by the
Company in JIPL would be transferred to the Procurers upon completion
of the final settlement.

Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014. The Board of Directors of the
Company has constituted its ESOS compensation committee to operate and
monitor the ESOS scheme which is administered through Reliance Power
ESOS Trust ("RPET").
The ESOS compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved a grant of 20,000,000 stock options to the eligible
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries on May 8, 2010. The
options are granted to the employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries on satisfying the performance and other eligibility
criteria set out in ESOS Plan. In accordance with the scheme, each
option entitles the employee to apply for one fully paid equity share
of Rs. 10 each of the Company at an exercise price of Rs. 162 per
share. Pursuant to the amendments made to the ESOS Scheme as approved
by the ESOS Compensation Committee of the Board, effective from April

Regulations, 2014 dated October 28, 2014, accounting for shared based
schemes should be done based on the requirements of Guidance Note on
Accounting for Share based Payments wherein consolidation of trust is
prohibited. Consequently, considering the regulatory change, the
Company has changed its accounting policy with respect to consolidation
of RPET and restated the face value of equity shares (held by RPET)
which was deducted from the paid up share capital and balance Rs.
13,082 lakhs (net of bank balance of RPET) which was grouped under the
securities premium account, with a corresponding adjustment to "Advance
to RPET" in the previous year.
Further, considering the current market value of the shares, option
exercise price and other factors, the Company has written down the
value of advances given to the RPET by Rs. 9,801 lakhs in the Statement
of Profit and Loss Account as an exceptional item (Refer Note 10 (b)).

7) Project status of subsidiaries
(a) Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL)
CAPL, a wholly owned subsidiary, has been set up to develop an Ultra
Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW located in Krishnapatnam,
District Nellore, based on imported coal
CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement with Reliance
Coal Resources Private Limited (RCRPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. In view of below mentioned new regulation, RCRPL cannot
supply coal at the already agreed price, because of which an element of
uncertainty has arisen in the fuel supply for the CAPL project, whereas
the power needs to be supplied at a pre-agreed tariff as per the terms
of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The Government
of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September, 201 0 which
prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affiliate companies, at below
Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and
requires adjustment of sale price every 1 2 months. This regulation
also mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts
with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September, 2011. The
said issue has been communicated to the power procurers and also to the
Government of India through the Association of Power Producers to
arrive at a suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the
stakeholders.
Since no resolution could be arrived at CAPL invoked the dispute
resolution provision of PPA. The procurers have also issued a notice
for termination of PPA and have raised a demand for liquidated damages
of Rs. 40,000 lakhs (including bank guarantee of Rs. 30,000 lakhs, which
has been issued by the holding company on behalf of CAPL)
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon'ble High Court at Delhi
inter-alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1 996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 201 2
has prohibited the procurers from taking any coercive steps against the
Company. The single judge of the Delhi High Court vide order dated July
2, 2012 dismissed the petition and the appeal filed by CAPL against
the said order is pending before the Division Bench of the Delhi High
Court. The interim protection against encashing bank guarantees
continues to be available
CAPL has also filed a petition before the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission without prejudice to the proceedings pending
before the Delhi High Court and the arbitration process has already
been initiated. The Commission adjourned the Petition sine a die with
permission to mention the matter after disposal of the appeal pending

administered and implemented Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) in
terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Employee Stock
Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines,1999
(Guidelines). The Board of Directors of the Company has constituted its
ESOS compensation committee to operate and monitor the ESOS scheme
which is administered through Reliance Power ESOS Trust ("RPET").
The ESOS compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved a grant of 20,000,000 stock options to the eligible
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries on May 8, 2010. The
options are granted to the employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries on satisfying the performance and other eligibility
criteria set out in ESOS Plan. In accordance with the scheme, each
option entitles the employee to apply for one fully paid equity share
of Rs. 10 of the Company at an exercise price of Rs.162 per share. The
vesting period of options will commence on expiry of one year from the
grant date and all the options granted shall vest immediately. The
vested options can be exercised by the eligible employees over a period

''Intrinsic Value Method''. The closing market price on the date of grant
was Rs.140.20 per share at National Stock Exchange (being the latest
trading price with highest trading volume). As the exercise price of
the share is more than market price, the Company has not accounted for
any compensation cost.

RPET for purchase of its shares from the open market, as per the ESOS
plan of the Company. RPET had, in turn in earlier years purchased

RPET with the Company''s financial statement as at March 31, 2014.
Accordingly, face value of equity shares (held by RPET) has been
deducted from the paid up share capital and balance Rs. 13,082 lakhs
(net of bank balance of RPET) has been grouped under the securities
premium account, with a corresponding adjustment to "Advance to RPET".
Consequently, provision of Rs.3,450 lakhs towards diminution in value
of advance, made in earlier years has been reversed during the year.

of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The Government
of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September 2010 which
prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affi liate companies, at
below Benchmark Price which is linked to international coal prices and
requires adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This regulation also
mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply contracts with the
new regulations within one year i.e. by September 2011. The said issue
has been communicated to the power procurers and also to the Government
of India through the Association of Power Producers to arrive at a
suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.
Since no resolution could be arrived at CAPL invoked the dispute
resolution provision of PPA. The procurers have also issued a notice
for termination of PPA and have raised a demand for liquidated damages
of Rs.40,000 Lakhs (including bank guarantee of Rs. 30,000 Lakhs, which
has been issued by the holding company on behalf of CAPL).
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi inter
alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 2012
has prohibited the Procurers from taking any coercive steps against the
Company. The single judge of the Delhi High Court vide order dated July
2, 2012 dismissed the petition and the appeal filed by CAPL against
the said order is pending before the Division Bench of the Delhi High
Court. The interim protection against encashing bank guarantees
continues to be available.
CAPL has also filed a petition before the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission without prejudice to the proceedings pending
before the Delhi High Court and the arbitration process already
initiated. The Commission adjourned the Petition sine a die with
permission to mention the matter after disposal of the appeal pending
before the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court.
Based on the legal opinion obtained with regard to applicability of
force majeure clause for the change in law in Indonesia and other
impacts thereof on the implementation of the project and considering
the nature of expenditure incurred till date at the project and its
valuation done by the management of CAPL, no provision for diminution
is considered in respect of investment made by the Company and demands
raised by the procurers of power.
b) Samalkot Power Limited (SMPL)
SMPL, a wholly owned subsidiary, is in the process of constructing a
2,262 MW (754 MW x 3) gas based power plant at Kakinada, which based on
the current circumstances, has planned its construction work and
consequential commercial operations thereafter progressively starting
from 2015 - 2016, and it has incurred an aggregated cost of Rs 823,353
lakhs as at March 31, 2014. SMPL has applied for allocation of gas and
Ministry of Petroleum and Gas (MoPNG) is yet to allocate the gas
linkage. Considering that the gas availability in the country has
dropped significantly and also based on gas availability projected
scenarios in subsequent years, SMPL is actively pursuing / making
representations with various government authorities to secure the gas
linkage / supply and is evaluating alternative arrangements / various
approaches to deal with the situation. Based on the business plans and
valuation assessment done by the management of SMPL, it is confi dent
that the carrying value of the net assets of SMPL is appropriate and
consequently, there is no diminution in the value of investment made by
the Company.

Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)
Pursuant to the approval accorded by the Shareholders on September 30,
2007 under Section 81(1A) of the Companies Act,1 956, the Company has
administered and implemented Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) in
terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Employee Stock
Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines,1999
(Guidelines). The Board of Directors of the Company has constituted its
ESOS compensation committee to operate and monitor the ESOS scheme
which is administered through ESOS Trust.
The ESOS compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved a grant of 20,000,000 stock options to the eligible
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries on May 8, 2010. The
options are granted to the employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries on satisfying the performance and other eligibility
criteria set out in ESOS Plan. In accordance with the scheme, each
option entitles the employee to apply for one fully paid equity share
of Rs. 10 of the Company at an exercise price of Rs. 162 per share. The
vesting period of options will commence on expiry of one year from the
grant date and all the options granted shall vest immediately. The

trust for purchase of equity shares from the market. The ESOS trust has

Status of Dadri Project:
a) The Company proposed developing a 7,480 MW gas-fired power project
to be located at the Dhirubhai Ambani Energy City in Dehra village,
Dadri, Uttar Pradesh. The State of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2004 had
acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in
the year 2005. While the State was in the process of acquiring further
400 acres of land for the project, a few land owners had filed writ
petitions before the Allahabad High Court challenging the acquisition
process under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 ("the Act"). The Allahabad
High Court has disposed of the writ petitions upholding the Section 4
notification and directed compliance with certain procedures relating
to land acquisition that were left out earlier by the State Government.
The Company has filed an appeal against the Allahabad High Court order
which is now pending before Supreme Court. Few land owners have also
filed appeals/petitions before the Supreme Court challenging Allahabad
High Court''s order upholding the Section 4 notification and alleging
highhanded and forceful actions during the acquisition process, which
are pending.
b) The construction and other allied activities at Dadri project will
be commenced as soon as the gas supply is firmed up and on settlement
of land issues. Considering the delay in the project execution, due to
litigation as stated above, the Company as a matter of prudence, has
written off the Asset under construction amounting to Rs. 901 lakhs
(Previous year: Incidental expenditure of Rs. 2,778 Lakhs) in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

Project status of Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL)
CAPL, a wholly owned subsidiary, has been set up to develop an Ultra
Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW located in Krishnapatnam,
District Nellore, based on imported coal sourced from Indonesia.
The Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September
2010 which prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affiliate
companies, at below Benchmark Price which is linked to international
coal prices and requires adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This
regulation also mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply
contracts with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September
2011. CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement with
Reliance Coal Resources Private Limited (RCRPL), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. In view of this new regulation, RCRPL cannot
supply coal at the already agreed price, because of which an element of
uncertainty has arisen in the fuel supply for the CAPL project, wherein
the power needs to be supplied at a pre-agreed tariff as per the terms
of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The said issue
has been communicated to the power procurers and also to the Government
of India through the Association of Power Producers to arrive at a
suitable solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.
CAPL has issued a dispute resolution notice to the procurers of power
under the force majeure clause of the PPA, considering the change in
Indonesian regulations as an event of force majeure. The procurers have
also issued a notice for termination of PPA and have raised a demand for liquidated damages of Rs.40,000 Lakhs (including bank guarantee of
Rs. 30,000 Lakhs, which has been issued by the holding company on
behalf of CAPL).
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon''ble High Court at Delhi inter
alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1 996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 2012
has prohibited the Procurers from taking any coercive steps against the
Company. The single judge of the Delhi High Court vide order dated July
2, 2012 dismissed the petition and the appeal filed by CAPL against the
said order is pending before the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court
and stands included in the regular hearing list. The interim protection
against encashing bank guarantees continues to be available.
CAPL has filed a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission without prejudice to the proceedings pending before the
Delhi High Court and the arbitration process already initiated. Hearing
on admissibility of the petition before the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission was held in the month of March 2013 and the
outcome is awaited
Based on the legal opinion obtained with regard to applicability of
force majeure clause for the change in law in Indonesia and other
impacts thereof on the implementation of the project and considering
the nature of expenditure incurred till date at the project, no
provision for impairment is considered in respect of investment made by
the Company and demands raised by the procurers of power,

Accounting under composite scheme of arrangement
In the previous year, the Composite Scheme of Arrangement ('Scheme')
under Section 391 to 394 of the Act read with Sections 78, 100 to 103
of the Act between the Company, Reliance Natural Resources Limited,
erstwhile Reliance Futura Limited and four wholly owned subsidiaries
viz. Atos Trading Private Limited, Atos Mercantile Private Limited,
Reliance Prima Limited and Coastal Andhra Power Infrastructure Limited,
was sanctioned by Hon'ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay vide order
dated October 15, 2010.
As per the terms defined in the Scheme, General reserve of the Company
is a free reserve available for all purposes as the Board of directors
may determine from time to time, including but not limited to meeting
any loss incurred due to variation in exchange rates which are beyond
the control of the Company. The Scheme also specifies that any use of
General reserve shall be reflected in Statement of Profit and Loss
against the item for which General Reserve is used.
The Company, based on a legal opinion and as per the approval of board
of directors has offset the loss amounting to Rs. 13,588 lakhs
incurred due to exchange variation on settlement of FCCBs, by
withdrawing an equivalent amount from General Reserve. The Management
has been legally advised that the disclosure of said accounting in the
Statement of Profit and Loss is in compliance with revised Schedule VI
of the Companies Act, 1956.
Had the Scheme not prescribed the utilization of General Reserve by an
equivalent amount of credit to Statement of Profit and Loss towards the
exchange loss, the profit before tax of the Company would have been
lower by Rs.13,588 lakhs and the General Reserve would have been higher
to that extent.
7) (Note 11 of notes to financial statements)
Scheme of amalgamation between Company and Sasan Power Infrastructure
Limited
Sasan Power Infrastructure Limited (SPIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, incorporated with the main object to operate, install,
develop, promote and maintain projects in infrastructure sectors
including setting up power plants etc., was amalgamated into the
Company pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation (Scheme), as on and from
September 1, 2011, being the appointed date pursuant to the approval of
Board of Directors of the Company and sanctioned by the Hon'ble High
Court of Judicature at Bombay vide its order dated December 23, 2011
which was filed with the Registrar of Companies on February 23, 2012.
The Company has carried out the accounting treatment prescribed in the
Scheme as approved by the Hon'ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay.
The required disclosures as per paragraph 42 of Accounting Standard 14
(AS 14) 'Accounting for Amalgamations' as prescribed under the
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 have been provided.
Further, the Company has also been legally advised that the accounting
treatment including disclosure under Revised Schedule VI carried out is
in line with the Scheme approved by the Hon'ble Court of Judicature at
Bombay and is not in violation of any applicable rules and regulations.
Hence, in accordance with the Scheme:
a) The Company has taken over all the assets aggregating to Rs. 28,006
lakhs and liabilities aggregating to Rs. 5,022 lakhs at their
respective book values. The difference aggregating to Rs. 22,984 lakhs
being the excess arising on transfer of assets and liabilities has been
treated as General Reserve (arising pursuant to the Scheme).
b) No consideration is payable or receivable on implementation of the
Scheme as the Scheme involves a wholly owned subsidiary. The entire
issued, subscribed and paid up capital of the subsidiary has been
cancelled and no shares have been allotted or exchanged in lieu of the
same.
c) Investments in equity share capital of SPIL amounting to Rs. 20,005
lakhs has been written off in the Statement of Profit and Loss and an
equivalent amount has been withdrawn from General Reserve vide board
approval dated May 24, 2012, to off-set the said write off and the
same has been credited to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Had the Scheme not prescribed the above accounting treatments, the
treatment in accordance with AS 14 under purchase method would have
been Rs. 22,984 lakhs, being the excess arising on transfer of assets
and liabilities treated as General Reserve (arising pursuant to the
Scheme), would have been treated as Capital Reserve. Also, Rs. 20,005
lakhs being the investment of the Company (share capital plus
securities premium) in SPIL debited to Statement of Profit and Loss,
would have been debited to Capital Reserve, and Rs. 20,005 lakhs
withdrawn from General Reserve would not have been withdrawn.
The above accounting treatment as per the Scheme does not have a
material impact on the Profit for the year and on the net worth of the
Company.
8) (Note 12 of notes to financial statements)
Change in accounting policy (Income on fixed maturity plan of mutual
fund)
During the year, based on legal opinion, the Company has changed its
accounting policy for income on fixed maturity plans of mutual funds,
from recognising it at the time of maturity to recognising it on an
accrual basis based on the net asset value as on the reporting date
considering the principles of reasonable certainty. Had the Company
followed the earlier accounting policy, Profit before tax would have
been lower by Rs. 1,988 lakhs.
9) (Note 13 of notes to financial statements)
Employees Stock Option Scheme (ESOS):
Pursuant to the approval accorded by the Shareholders on September 30,
2007 under Section 81(1A) of the Companies Act,1956, the Company has
administered and implemented Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) in
terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Employee Stock
Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines,1 999
(Guidelines). The Board of Directors of the Company has constituted its
ESOS compensation committee to operate and monitor the ESOS scheme
which is administered through ESOS Trust.
The ESOS compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved a grant of 20,000,000 stock options to the eligible
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries on May 8, 2010. The
options are granted to the employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries on satisfying the performance and other eligibility
criteria set out in ESOS Plan. In accordance with the scheme, each
option entitles the employee to apply for one fully paid equity share
of Rs. 10 of the Company at an exercise price of Rs. 162 per share. The
vesting period of options will commence on expiry of one year from the
grant date and all the options granted shall vest immediately. The
vested options can be exercised by the eligible employees over a period
of nine years from the date of vesting.
The Company has opted for accounting the Compensation expenses under
'Intrinsic Value Method'. The closing market price on the date of grant
was Rs. 140.20 per share at National Stock Exchange (being the latest
trading price with highest trading volume). As the exercise price of
the share is more than market price, the Company has not accounted for
any compensation cost. The Company has advanced Rs. 14,000 lakhs
(disclosed under Note 3.11 Long term loans and advances) to the ESOS
trust for purchase of equity shares from the market. The ESOS trust has
purchased 8,500,000 shares from the given advance.
Had the Company opted for accounting of Compensation cost under 'Fair
value Method', Profit after tax would have been lower by Rs. 434 lakhs
(Previous year: Rs. 3,851 lakhs) and Earnings per share (Basic and
diluted) would have been Rs.1.09 (Previous year: Rs. 0.91)
10) (Note 14 of notes to financial statements)
Project Status of Dadri Project:
a) The Company is developing a 7,480 MW gas-fired power project to be
located at the Dhirubhai Ambani Energy City in Dehra village, Dadri,
Uttar Pradesh. The State of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2004 had acquired
2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in the year
2005. While the State was in the process of acquiring further 400 acres
of land for the project, a few land owners had filed writ petitions
before the Allahabad High Court challenging the acquisition process
under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 ("the Act"). The Allahabad High
Court has disposed of the writ petitions upholding the Section 4
notification and directed compliance with certain procedures relating
to land acquisition that were left out earlier by the State Government.
The Company has filed an appeal against the Allahabad High Court order
which is now pending before Supreme Court. Few land owners have also
filed appeals/petitions before the Supreme Court challenging Allahabad
High Court's order upholding the Section 4 notification and alleging
highhanded and forceful actions during the acquisition process, which
are pending.
b) The construction and other allied activities at Dadri project will
be commenced as soon as the gas supply is firmed up and on settlement
of land issues. Considering the delay in the project execution, due to
litigation as stated above, the Company as a matter of prudence, has
written off the incidental expenditure amounting to Rs. 2,778 lakhs in
the Statement of Profit and loss.
11) (Note 15 of notes to financial statements)
Project status of Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL)
CAPL, a wholly owned subsidiary, has been set up to develop an Ultra
Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW located in Krishnapatnam,
District Nellore, based on imported coal sourced from Indonesia.
The Government of Indonesia introduced a new regulation in September
2010 which prohibits sale of coal, including sale to affiliate
companies, at below Benchmark Price which is linked to international
coal prices and requires adjustment of sale price every 12 months. This
regulation also mandates to align all existing long-term coal supply
contracts with the new regulations within one year i.e. by September
2011.CAPL had entered into a firm price fuel supply agreement with
Reliance Coal Resources
Private Limited (RCRPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In
view of this new regulation, RCRPL now needs to supply coal at the
market price, because of which an element of uncertainty has arisen in
the fuel supply for the CAPL project, wherein the power needs to be
supplied at a pre-agreed tariff as per the terms of Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) dated March 23, 2007. The said issue has been
communicated to the power procurers and also to the Government of India
through the Association of Power Producers to arrive at a suitable
solution to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.
Notwithstanding the above, considering the terms of PPA, CAPL has
issued a dispute resolution notice to the procurers of power under the
force majeure clause of the PPA, considering the change in Indonesian
regulations as an event of force majeure. The procurers of power under
the terms of PPA have also issued a notice for termination of PPA and
have raised a demand for liquidated damages of Rs.40,000 lakhs
(including bank guarantee of Rs. 30,000 lakhs), which has been
disclosed under contingent liability.
CAPL has filed a petition before the Hon'ble High Court at Delhi inter
alia for interim relief under Section 9 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court vide its order dated March 20, 201 2
has granted such relief and prohibited the Procurers from taking any
coercive steps against CAPL.
Based on the legal opinion obtained with regard to applicability of
force majeure clause for the change in law in Indonesia and considering
the nature of expenditure incurred till date at the project, no
provision for impairment is considered in respect of investment made by
the Company and for demands raised by the procurers of power.
12) (Note 16 of notes to financial statements)
Disclosure under Accounting Standard 15 (revised 2005) "Employee
