Future Prospects
Infrastructure
Infrastructure sector is a key driver for the Indian economy. The sector is highly responsible for propelling India''s overall development and enjoys intense focus from Government for initiating policies that would ensure time-bound creation of world class infrastructure in the country. The Government has announced its target of H25 trillion (US$ 376.53 billion) investment in infrastructure over a period of three years, which will include H8 trillion (US$ 120.49 billion) for developing 27 industrial clusters and an additional H5 trillion (US$ 75.30 billion) for road, railway and port connectivity projects. Infrastructure sector includes power, bridges, dams, roads and urban infrastructure development. In 2016, India jumped 19 places in World Bank''s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) 2016, to rank 35th amongst 160 countries.
India''s core sector growth rose 3.4 per cent in January 2017, on the back of robust natural gas and steel output, which recorded a year-on-year growth of 11.9 per cent and 11.4 per cent respectively, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
In the Union Budget 2017-18, the Government of India has taken the following measures for the development of infrastructure.
- Increased total infrastructure outlay and defence capital expenditure by 10 per cent and 20.6 per cent to Rs. 3,96,135 crore (US$ 59.18 billion) and Rs. 86,488 crore (US$ 13.1 billion) respectively, over FY17 revised estimate.
- Railway expenditure allocation has increased by 8 per cent to Rs. 1,31,000 crore (US$ 19.58 billion) for laying down 3,500 km of railway lines in 2017-18.
- Affordable housing has been given infrastructure status.
- Lock-in period for long-term capital gains on land and buildings has been reduced from three to two years.
Power Sector
With a production of 1108 TW, India is the world''s fifth largest producer and consumer of electricity with a total demand of 1905 TW expected by 2022. The power sector accounts for almost a quarter of the projected investments amongst all the infrastructure sectors between 2012-17. A Total Thermal Installed Capacity of 211.67 GW as of May, 2016.
The Government has set a generation capacity addition target of 88.5 GW during 2012-17. Against this, generation capacity addition of 101.64 GW is likely to be achieved during 2012-17. The generation capacity addition during 2017-22 is being worked out considering the likely generation capacity addition of 101.64 GW during 2012-17.The revised tariff policy 2016 ensures adequate return on investment to companies engaged in power generation, transmission and distribution and ensures financial viability of the sector in order to attract investments by companies."
Government of India through Ministry of Power launched the initiative of Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) i.e. 4,000 MW super thermal power projects (both pit head and imported coal based) in November 2005 with the objective to develop large capacity power projects in India. Power Finance Corporation Ltd (PFC) has been appointed as the Nodal Agency to facilitate the development of these projects. Various inputs for the UMPPs are tied up by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with assistance of Ministry of Power & Central Electricity Authority (CEA). CEA is involved in selection of sites for these UMPPs.
Ministry of Power is finalizing the guidelines for determination of tariff through transparent process of bidding for procurement of power from UMPPs based on allocated domestic captive coal blocks and to be set up on Build, Own and Operate (BOO) basis" (the Guidelines). To carry out the bidding process expeditiously, the bid documentation shall be as per the Request for Qualification (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) and the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) (collectively the "Standard Bidding Documents"(SBDs)) issued by the Central Government in Terms of these Guidelines.
Road Sector
India has the second largest road network in the world, spanning a total of 4.87 million kilometres (kms). Roads in India transport over 60 per cent of all goods and 85 per cent of total passenger traffic. The roads and bridge infrastructure industry is expected to be worth USD 19.2 billion by FY17.
The National Highways account for 1.9 per cent of the total road network in India and are expected to reach 100,000 kms by the end of the 2017 from 97,135 kms in FY15. The Government of India has formulated a seven-phase programme, ''National Highway Development Project (NHDP), vested with National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), for the development of National Highways in the country.
The private sector has emerged as a key player in the development of road infrastructure in India. Increased industrial activities, along with increasing number of two and four wheelers have supported the growth in the road transport infrastructure projects. The government''s policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon for the infrastructure industry with a large number of private players entering the business through the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
With the Government permitting 100 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in the road sector, several foreign companies have formed partnerships with Indian players to capitalise on the sector''s growth.
The NHAI has invited bids for the preparation of detailed project reports for 44 freight corridors, inter-corridors and feeder routes to reduce the cost and time of the freight movement across the country, under the Ministry of Roads Logistic Efficiency Enhancement Programme (LEEP).
Three memorandum of understanding (MOUs) were signed between National Green Highways Mission (NGHM) and ITC Ltd, Yes Bank Ltd and Teri for setting up a Centre for Innovations in Green Pathways in order to enhance research and innovations in the field.
Renewable Energy Sector
India has the fifth largest power generation portfolio in the world and its current renewable energy contribution stands at 44.812 GW which includes 27.441 GW of Wind power and 8.062 GW of Solar power installed capacity in the country. (As on 31.07.2016).
India is fourth largest installed capacity of wind power and third largest installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) Renewable energy contributes 14.7% of the total installed capacity in the country as on 31.07.2016. Ambitious target of 175 GW of renewable power by 2022 which will include 100 GW of Solar power, 60 GW from wind power, 10 GW from biomass power and 5 GW from small hydro power.
The target of National Solar Mission has been up scaled to 100 GW from 20 GW of grid connected solar power by 2022, which creates a positive environment among investors keen to tap into India''s renewable energy potential. Government of India has a target of adding 175 GW of renewable power in the country by 2022, which will offer massive investment opportunities across the value chain.
1. India is the fourth largest importer of oil and the 15th largest importer of petroleum products and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) globally. The increased use of indigenous renewable resources is expected to reduce India''s dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels.
2. The government of India through Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is playing a proactive role in promoting the adoption of renewable energy resources by offering various incentives such as generation based incentives (GBIs), capital and interest subsidies, viability gap funding (VGF), concessional finance, fiscal incentives etc.
The National Solar Mission aims to promote the development and use of solar energy for power generation and other uses, with the ultimate objective of making solar energy compete with fossil based energy options.
The objective of the National Solar Mission is to reduce the cost of solar power generation in the country through long term policy, large scale deployment goals, aggressive R&D and the domestic production of critical raw materials, components and products.
The government has created a liberal environment for foreign investment in renewable energy projects. The establishment of a dedicated financial institution - the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), makes for renewed impetus on the promotion, development and extension of financial assistance for renewable energy and energy efficiency/ conservation projects.
3. Renewable energy is becoming increasingly cost competitive as compared to fossil fuel based generation, like the prices of solar modules have declined by almost 80% since 2008.
4. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has revised the guidelines for all scheduled commercial banks including renewable energy in the categories priority sector, in addition to existing categories making significant inroads for renewable energy in the priority sector lending, also bank loans for solar rooftop systems to be treated as a part of home loan/ home improvement loan with subsequent tax benefits.
5. Focus on skill development of workforce: "Suryamitra Scheme" launched in May 2015 to create 0.05 million trained personnel within a period of 5 years (201516 to 201920).

Future Prospects
Infrastructure:
A key driver of the economy, Infrastructure is highly responsible for
propelling India's overall development. The industry enjoys
intense focus from the top officials of the Government for initiating
policies that would ensure time-bound creation of world class
infrastructure in the country. This sector includes power, bridges,
dams, roads and urban infrastructure development.
The Indian power sector has an investment potential of US$ 250 billion
in the next 4-5 years, providing immense opportunities in power
generation, distribution, transmission and equipment, according to Mr.
Piyush Goyal, Union minister of Coal, Power and Renewable Energy.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has notified 100 per cent foreign
direct investment (FDI) under automatic route in the construction
development sector. The new limit is effective 2 December 2014, RBI
said in a notification on its website.
Recently, the Government has relaxed rules for FDI in the construction
sector by reducing minimum built-up area as well as capital requirement
and liberalised the exit norms. The Cabinet has also approved the
proposal to amend the FDI policy.
India and the US have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in
order to establish Infrastructure Collaboration Platform. The document
showcases the relationship between both the Governments which intend to
facilitate US industry participation in Indian infrastructure projects
to improve the bilateral commercial relationship and benefit both the
Participants' economies. The MoU's scope envisages efforts in the
areas of Urban Development, Commerce and Industry, Railways, Road
Transport and Highways, Micro Small and Medium Enterprises, Power, New
& Renewable Energy, Information and Broadcasting, Communications &
Information Technology, Water Resources, River Development and Ganga
Rejuvenation.
Power sector:
Power or electricity is one of the most critical components of
infrastructure affecting economic growth and well-being of nations. The
existence and development of adequate infrastructure is essential for
sustained growth of the Indian economy.
The Indian power sector is one of the most diversified in the world.
Sources for power generation range from conventional ones such as coal,
lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to other viable
non-conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agriculture and
domestic waste. The demand for electricity in the country has been
growing at a rapid rate and is expected to grow further in the years to
come. In order to meet the increasing requirement of electricity,
massive addition to the installed generating capacity in the country is
required.
The Indian power sector is undergoing a significant change that is
redefining the industry outlook. Sustained economic growth continues to
drive power demand in India. The Government of India's focus to
attain 'Power For All' has accelerated capacity addition in the
country. At the same time, the competitive intensity is increasing on
both market side as well as supply side (fuel, logistics, finances and
manpower).
The Planning Commission's 12th Plan expects total domestic energy
production to reach 669.6 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) by
2016-17 and 844 MTOE by 2021-22. By 2030 - 35, energy demand in India
is projected to be the highest among all countries according to the
2014 energy outlook report by British oil giant BP.
Around 293 global and domestic companies have committed to generate 266
gigawatts (GW) of solar, wind, mini-hydel and bio-mass based power in
India over the next 5-10 years. The initiative would entail an
investment of about US$ 310-350 billion. The industry has attracted FDI
worth US$ 9,548.82 million during the period April 2000 to February
2015.
The Government of India has identified the power sector as a key sector
of focus to promote sustained industrial growth. The RE-INVEST 2015
which concluded on February 17, 2015, is a significant step in making
India self-reliant in energy. The three day RE-INVEST 2015 received
2,800 delegates participating from 42 countries and saw green energy
commitments worth 266,000 MW.
Road Sector:
India has the second largest road network in the world, aggregating 4.7
million km; however quality of roads has not been at par with others.
In terms of quality, only half of India's road network is surfaced.
Roads constitute the most common mode of transportation and account for
about 85 per cent of passenger traffic and around 60 per cent of the
freight traffic in the country. In India, National Highways, with a
length close to 79,000 km, constitute a mere 2 per cent of the road
network but carry about 40 per cent of the total road traffic. On the
other hand, state roads and major district roads are the secondary
system of road that carry another 60 per cent of traffic and account
for 98 per cent of road length.
Over the last decade, the overall NHDP length (completed) has increased
from around 500 km in 2001-02 to the current levels of 22,277km (as of
March 31, 2014).
Renewable Energy Scenario
Renewable energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy options with
almost no pollution or carbon emissions and has the potential to
significantly reduce reliance on coal and other fossil fuels. By
expanding renewable energy, world can improve air quality, reduce
global warming emissions, create new industries and jobs, and move
world towards a cleaner, safer, and affordable energy future.
The quest for energy independence, economic growth, and environmental
sustainability increasingly suggests the importance of renewable energy
sources across the globe. Renewables are seen not only as sources of
energy, but also as tools to address many other pressing needs,
including: improving energy security and access; reducing the health
and environmental impacts associated with fossil and nuclear energy and
mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
The renewable energy sector in India is full of opportunities and
merits careful consideration by market participants. The Indian
renewable energy market is highly attractive as it has the potential to
reduce India's rising demand supply gap, hence becoming a key cog in
the wheel for India's energy security strategy. The government in
India has placed an encouraging policy & regulatory framework with a
combination of feed-in tariffs, renewable procurement obligations, and
Renewable Energy Certificates. The most dominant asset classes, wind
and solar, have attracted considerable supplier interest and hence
equipment and EPC is available at increasing competitive rates thus
boosting margins. The Jawahar Lal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)
and several state-level solar policies are helping develop solar energy
market. Recent budgetary allocation for generation based incentives and
reintroduction for accelerated depreciation for wind power will spur
investments in wind energy. The size of the renewable energy market
will see further growth as the application of Renewable Purchase
Obligation expands to cover open access and captive consumers.

Future Prospects
Power sector
With the world population nearly doubling in the past three decades,
the present surge in electricity demand, and the projected increase of
the global population, the importance of available sources of energy
cannot be underestimated.
In India, coal generates substantial amount of electricity and nuclear
energy hydro and other sources accounts for the balance. Globally,
India is presently positioned as the fifth largest manufacturer of
energy, representing roughly 2.4% of the overall energy output per
annum.
Usually energy, especially electricity, plays a key role in the
speeding up of the economic development of the country. The existing
production of per capita electricity in India is pegged at around 600
KWh per annum. Ever since 1990s, India''s gross domestic product (GDP)
has been increasing rapidly and it is estimated that it will maintain
its pace over the next couple of decades. The rise in GDP should be
followed by an increase in the expenditure of key energy other than
electricity
Power or electricity is one of the most critical components of
infrastructure, affecting the overall economic growth and well- being
of nation. The existence and development of an adequate power
infrastructure is essential for sustaining the growth of the Indian
economy. With a production of 1,006 terawatt hours (TWh), India is the
fifth largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world after
the US, China, Japan and Russia.
The Indian power sector is one of the most diversified in the world.
Sources for power generation range from commercial sources such as
coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to other
viable non-conventional sources such as wind,
solar, and agricultural and domestic waste. The demand for electricity
in the country has been growing rapidly and is expected to grow further
in the years to come. In order to meet the increasing requirement of
electricity, massive additions to the installed generating capacity in
the country is required.
Indian solar installations are forecast to be approximately 1,000
megawatt (MW) in 2014, according to Mercom Capital Group, a global
clean energy communications and consulting firm. The growth in energy
demand in India would be the highest among all countries by 2030Â35,
beating even China, according to the 2014 energy outlook report by
British oil giant BP.
The investment climate is very positive in the power sector. Due to
policy liberalization, the sector has witnessed higher investment flows
than envisaged. The Power Ministry has set a target for adding 76,000
MW of electricity generation capacity in the 12th Five Year Plan
(2012Â17) and 93,000 MW in the 13th Five Year Plan (2017Â2022).
The Power Sector Development Programme in India has now gained serious
momentum. Policy-makers have realised that the country''s economic
development will be jeopardized if due attention is not given to the
power sector to ensure that sufficient and quality electrical energy is
made available to consumers at affordable prices.
With energy demand expected to grow a sizeable capacity addition has
been envisaged, entailing major investments in power generation,
transmission and distribution. The state- owned company has ambitious
plans to establish 63 GW generation capacity by 2032, as a safe,
environmentally and economically viable source of electrical energy to
meet the increasing electricity needs of India. A growing Indian
economy coupled with Indian Government''s goal of ''Power for all'', opens
up tremendous opportunities for electrical companies, both domestic and
international, in India.
Some of the Company''s key projects currently under execution include
NTPC''s 1,320 MW mega thermal power plant, 1,600 MW Lara power plant and
two 660 MW each plants of Athena Energy Ventures.
Road sector
India''s population rise necessitates a steady growth in infrastructure.
The government''s efforts regarding policies have ensured that the
private sector is emerging as a key player in the development of road
infrastructure in India.
Perhaps seeing the necessity of growth in infrastructure, the
Government of India has reserved US$ 1 trillion for infrastructure for
the 12th Five Year Plan (2012Â17). The Five Year Plans have so far been
highly beneficial for the sector in the country  the length of the
national highways which was 21,378 km during the late 1940s touched
71,772 km by the end of the 11th Five Year Plan (2007Â2012).
Furthermore, the Planning Commission of India aims to spend nearly 20
per cent of the total investment of US$ 1 trillion during the 12th Five
Year Plan to develop roads. The value of total roads and bridges
infrastructure in the country is projected to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4 per cent over FY 2012-17. India''s roads and
bridges infrastructure was valued at US$ 6.9 billion in 2009 and is
expected to reach US$ 19.2 billion by 2017.
The Government is looking to develop a total of 66,117 kilometres of
roads under several programmes such as National Highways Development
Project (NHDP), Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in North
East (SARDP-NE). A good portion of that work  20,945 km  has already
been completed, while the rest of the projects are expected to be
complete by the end of the 12th Five Year Plan.
With road projects worth more than Rs200,000 cr stuck at various stages
being revived and new projects being announced by the new government,
the road sector would be at the core of government agenda.
Your Company is qualified for the NHAI annual qualification for the
value of Rs922 cr limit projects. Also, we bagged the NHAI item rate
contract road job of Rs230 cr at Munger in the state of Bihar and in the
state of Hyderabad, which is under construction and planning to bid for
annuity/ EPC projects of Rs1,000 cr this fiscal and 150 cr qualified in
one of the road projects in Karnataka.
Solar sector
Your Company is committed towards sustainable development for a greener
tomorrow. In our quest to become one of India''s largest renewable
energy companies, your Company is planning to expand and diversify its
business activities in extending their valuable services in the solar
sector also.
India is densely populated and has high solar isolation, an ideal
combination for using solar power in India. In the solar energy sector,
some large projects have been proposed, and a 35,000 km2 (14,000 square
miles) area of the Thar Desert has been set aside for solar power
projects, sufficient to generate 700
to 2,100 GW. Also India''s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has
released the JNNSM Phase Draft Policy by which the Government aims to
install 10 GW of Solar Power and of this 10 GW target, 4 GW would fall
under the central scheme and the remaining 6 GW under various
state-specific schemes.
In developing countries like India, Greenpeace has proposed a
feed-in-tariff system which would provide the financing to enable
massive renewable energy uptake. The scheme proposes a mechanism where
the additional costs of renewable energies are financed by a
combination of new sectoral emissions trading mechanisms and direct
finance from technology funds to be developed in the Copenhagen Climate
Deal.
The government is likely to harness solar power and give a fillip to
development of offshore wind energy so as to provide electricity to
every household in the near future.
Your Company has won an EPC contract for setting up a 5 MW solar power
plant under the JNNURM scheme and L1 for the 15 MW solar power project,
which is being awaited for award. In MSW, we bagged an order of H400
cr in the state of Bihar, Maharashtra and Karnataka where 20 MW
renewable power will be generated.
Urban/building construction
The building construction sector provides huge scope to participate in
the rapidly developing urban infrastructure space in India, like
institutional buildings like IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, Hospitals, Colleges,
Hostels, Administration Building. A Big thrust in this Urban building
infrastructure is on housing which provides abundant scope to grow in
this sector.
Presently, we bagged the EPC project of H350 cr from PWD Punjab for the
construction of Central Sudhaar Ghar at Bhatinda and Govindwal in the
state of Punjab, which is under construction. Also, we will be
qualified for H300 cr and more for single project by the year end 2015.

Future Prospects
The Power business in India is on the expansion mode due to rapid
industrialization, substantial expansion by industrial houses and
population growth. The electricity sector in India had an installed
capacity of 214.630 GW as on February 2013, the world''s fifth largest.
Captive power plants generate an additional 31.5 GW. Non Renewable
Power Plants constitute 87.55% of the installed capacity and 12.45% of
Renewable Capacity. India generated 855 BU (855000 MU i.e. 855 TWh
electricity during 2011-12 fiscal. The demand of Power is increasing
every year due to growing need of the economy. The country''s annual
electricity generation capacity has increased in last 20 years by about
130 GW, from about 66 GW in 1991 to over 100 GW in 2001, to over 199 GW
in 2012. It is expected that current and approved electricity capacity
addition projects in India are expected to add about 100 GW of
installed capacity between 2012 and 2017. This growth makes India one
the fastest growing markets for electricity infrastructure equipment.
India''s installed capacity growth rates are still less than those
achieved by China, and short of capacity needed to ensure universal
availability of electricity throughout India by 2017.
In India, Thermal Power Plants constitutes more than 65% of total
electricity generation and in coming years too it is expected that the
major portion of growing need of electricity shall be met by thermal
power plants.
The market for power transmission & distribution is also shining due to
rapid increase in consumption of electricity as the per capita power
consumption gradually increases to global levels.
Your Company being one of the leading niche energy player of India
dealing in BOP and EPC business, shall continue to exploit emerging
opportunities in Power sectors thermal power project, transmission &
distribution, hydro power project or any other segment of power.
Road Sector - Future prospects
The Road sector constitutes a substantial part of infrastructure in
India. India has a road network of 4.11 million Kms, the second largest
in the world. It is estimated that more than 70% of freight and 85% of
passengers'' traffic in the country is being handled by roads. Good
transport system plays a key role in the development of economy and
represents the overall growth status. The Road sector being a major
constituent of transport system in India, should be well constructed &
developed to meet the growing demand of national economy.
The Government of India also emphasized the need of well constructed
and developed roads across the country and give major thrust to boost
the road construction. In recent years, the road sector becomes an
industry and offering huge opportunities to civil contractors,
engineering companies, material suppliers, road equipment
manufacturers.
Indian Government in its union budget 2012-13 has announced Allocation
of funds of Rs.25,360 crores to Road Transport and Highways Ministry to

has announced the work of construction of roads having length 8800 km
to be awarded (construction of Roads) under NHDP and Completion of
highway projects 44 per cent higher than in previous fiscal 2011-12. In
the Union budget of 2012-13 Government of India has announced
Investment in 12th Plan in infrastructure to go upto Rs.50,00,000 crore;
half of this is expected from private sector.
In the annual budget of 2013-14, Government of India has announced to
constitute a regulatory authority for road sector to supervise and
speedup the road construction projects and announced 3000 kms of road
projects in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar

Directors explanations / informations on Auditorsà qualifications or
adverse remarks
i) Regarding advances and receivables and provision for doubtful debts,
provisions with regard to Receivables of Rs.230 lacs have not been made
in the books of accounts; as a result the profit for the period has
been overstated by Rs.230 lacs and Current assets (Sundry Debtors) has
been overstated by the similar amount.
Management Reply: The management from the past experience is confident
that the amount of Rs 230 lacs, which is receivable, is good and will
be received in due course of time though belated as these type of
claims take longer time duration.
ii) As per management estimate, Provision of Rs. 25 Lakhs has been made
for Leave Encashment in books of accounts. As the provision made is not
as per the Accounting Standard 15 Ã Employee Benefit (Revised) issued
by ICAI, consequential impact of the difference in amount of provision
on Profit & Loss for the year is unascertainable.
Management Reply: The management has treated the leave encashment as
short term employee benefit and as such the provision for the year of
Rs. 25 lacs is reasonable.
iii) Where the reason given for discontinuation of Consolidation of
Gangakhed Sugar & Energy Limited is not according to ÃAccounting
Standard à 23 à Accounting for Investments in Associates in
Consolidated Financial StatementsÃ, we are unable to quantify the
impact of the same on consolidated Financial Statements as the
necessary information was not available to us.
Management Reply: M/s Gangakhed Sugar & Energy Ltd.,
According to management is not an associate company, as stated in
ÃNotes to Accountsà forming part of consolidated Accounts. The reason
being that the Board of Directors consists of majority of independent
Directors who are technically well qualified to run the company
professionally. The policy making process is decided in the Board
Meetings. There is no interchange of managerial personnel during the
year. Sunil Hitech Engineers Limited is not qualified for providing any
essential technical information / assistance. The share holding of
Sunil Hitech Engineers Limited as on 31st March 2010 though is more
than 20% the company is not having any significant influence as
