Derecognition

An item of Property, Plant and Equipments is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of Property, Plant and Equipments is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using an appropriate discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company''s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated.

Impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Notes:

i. The Company had in accordance with Ind AS 36 - "Impairment of Assets", carried out impairment assessment of its assets of Mundra Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP), along with investments in Indonesian mining companies PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Baramulti Suksessarana TBK (BSSR) through intermediate holding companies (associates operating coal mines in Indonesia and supplying coal to Mundra plant for UMPP). All these investment in companies and assets of UMPP constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU) and form part of same segment due to interdependency of cash flows. There are significant losses being incurred in UMPP on account of significant increase in coal prices due to change in Indonesian laws which is offset by the profits earned by the mining companies

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company''s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. For Mundra power plant, future cash flows is estimated based on remaining period of long term power purchase agreement (PPA) and thereafter based on management''s estimate on tariff and other assumptions. Further as discussed in note no.31 to the financial statements, the Supplementary Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) is likely to be signed and approved; and accordingly the same has been considered in estimating the cashflows. Cash flow projection of mines are derived based on estimated coal production considering renewed license for operating the mines. The license for operating mines are renewed for a period of 10 years with an option of renewal of further period of 10 years with Government of Indonesia. In the past, the Company had recognised an impairment provision of ? 311 crore in CGU.

A reassessment of the assumptions used in estimating the impact of impairment of the cash generating unit (CGU) comprising of UMPP and the Indonesian coal mines, combined with the significant impact of unwinding of a year''s discount on the cash flows, would have resulted in a reversal of ? 311 crore of provision for impairment. Management believes that the reversal of impairment has not resulted from any significant improvement in the estimated service potential of the concerned CGU; and hence the Company has not effected reversal of impairment. Key assumptions used for value in use calculation include coal prices, energy prices post PPA period, signing of SPPA, discount rates and exchange rates. Short term coal prices and energy prices used in three to five years projections are based on market survey and expert analysis report. Afterwards increase in cost of coal and exchange rates are considered based on long term historical trend. Further the management strongly believes that mining Licenses will be renewed post expiry for further period of 10 years by Government of Indonesia. Discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risk specific to CGU taking into consideration the time value of money. Pre tax discount rate used in the calculation of value in use of Property, Plant and Equipments in power plant is 9.60% p.a. (March 31, 2022: 9.45% p.a.) and investment in coal mines and related infrastructure companies is 12.69% p.a. (March 31,2022: 13.44% p.a.)

5b Right of Use Assets

Accounting Policy

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received and estimate of costs to dismantle. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

- Plant and Equipment - 2 years

- Port and Intake Channels - 40 years

- Leasehold land including sub surface right - 2 to 40 years

5c Intangible Assets

Accounting Policy

Intangible Assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated Intangible Assets

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Derecognition of Intangible Assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life on straight line basis and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

v. The Company has invested in unsecured subordinated perpetual securities issued by TP Renewable Microgrid Limited and TP Ajmer Distribution Ltd, its subsidiary companies.

This condition is regarded as met only when the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset or disposal group and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. As at each balance sheet date, the management reviews the appropriateness of such classification.

Non-current assets or disposal group classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Property, plant and equipments and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.

23. Lease Liabilities Accounting Policy

At inception of contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone price.

As a Lessee

i) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the discount rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

ii) Short term leases and leases of low value of assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2 Includes amounts outstanding aggregating ? 0.24 crore (March 31, 2022 - ? 0.24 crore) for more than seven years pending disputes and legal cases.

Accounting Policy

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions with charge to Statement of Profit and Loss. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Restructuring provisions are recognised only when the Company has a constructive obligation, which is when: (i) a detailed formal plan identifies the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs, and the timeline; and (ii) the employees affected have been notified of the plan''s main features.

Defined contribution plans

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefits plans

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on the earlier of:

- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss:

- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non routine settlements; and

- Net interest expense or income.

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All

assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

Employee Benefit Plans 1. Defined Contribution plan

a) The Company makes superannuation fund contributions to defined contribution plan for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the superannuation fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.

The Company has recognised ? 7.85 crore (March 31,2022 - ? 7.16 crore) for superannuation contribution in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contribution payable to the plan by the Company is at rates specified in the rules of the plan.

b) The total expense recognized in Statement of Profit & Loss is ? 1.55 crore (for the year ended March 31, 2022 ? 1.43 crore) represents contribution for the year paid/payable to the Employee Provident Fund. The contribution outstanding as at March 31,2023 of ? Nil (as at March 31,2022 ? 0.35 crore) due in respect of financial year 2022-23 (financial year 2021-22) is payable in the subsequent reporting periods.

2. Defined benefit plans

2.1 The Company operates the following unfunded/funded defined benefit plans:

Funded:

Provident Fund

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified are paid to the provident fund trust set by the Company. The Company is generally liable for annual contributions. However, any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return are recognised as an expense in the year it is incurred.

Funded/Unfunded:

Post Employment Medical Benefits

The Company provides certain post-employment health care benefits to superannuated employees at some of its locations. In terms of the plan, the retired employees can avail free medical check-up and medicines at Company''s facilities.

Pension (including Director pension)

The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for employees who have completed 15 years of continuous service. The plan provides benefits to members in the form of a pre-determined lumpsum payment on retirement. Executive Director, on retirement, is entitled to pension payable for life including HRA benefit. The level of benefit is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

Ex-Gratia Death Benefit

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting ex-gratia in case of death during service. The benefit consists of a predetermined lumpsum amount along with a sum determined based on the last drawn basic salary per month and the length of service.

Retirement Gift

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting a pre-determined sum as retirement gift on superannuation of an employee. Gratuity

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at the retirement date. In case of funded plan, the fund has the form of a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy in accordance with the trust regulations. From April 1, 2022 employess of CGPL covered in funded plan.

2.7 Risk exposure:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk, the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary and medical cost will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

31. Revenue from Operations Revenue recognition Accounting Policy

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Description of performance obligations are as follows :

(i) Sale of Power - Generation (Thermal and Hydro): Regulated

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered.

The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (''ARR'') comprising of expenditure on account of fuel cost, operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies. Accordingly, rate per unit is determined using input method based on the Company''s efforts to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(ii) Sale of Power - Generation: Non-regulated

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount, rebate, etc. when the power is supplied as it best depicts the value to the customer and complete satisfaction of performance obligation.

Variable Consideration forming part of the total transaction price including compensation on account of change in law will be allocated and recognised when the terms of variable payment relate specifically to the Company''s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation i.e. in the year of occurrence of event linked to variable consideration.

The transaction price has been adjusted for significant financing component, if any and the adjustment is accounted as finance cost. The difference between the revenue recognised and amount invoiced has been presented as deferred revenue/ unbilled revenue.

(iii) Sale of Power - Generation (Wind and Solar)

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the contracted rate.

(iv) Transmission of Power

Revenue from transmission of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for transmission of electricity. The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (''ARR'') comprising of expenditure on account of operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies.

Input method is used to recognize revenue based on the Company''s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(v) Sale of Power - Distribution

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the pre determined rate.

(vi) Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time based on :

Input method where the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of performance obligation. Revenue, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally based on measure of progress.

Output method where direct measurements of value to the customer based on survey''s of performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised net of cash discount at a point in time at the contracted rate.

(vii) Consumers are billed on a monthly basis and are given average credit period of 30 to 60 days for payment. Wherever applicable no delayed payment charges (''DPC'') is charged for the initial 30 days from the date of receipt of invoice by customers. Thereafter, DPC is charged as per the relevant contracts on the outstanding balance. Revenue in respect of delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payments leviable as per the relevant contracts are recognised on actual realisation or accrued based on an assessment of certainty of realisation supported by either an acknowledgement from customers or on receipt of favourable order from regulator / authorities.

(viii) In the regulated operations of the Company where tariff recovered from consumers is determined on cost plus return on equity, the Income tax cost is pass through cost and accordingly the Company recognises Deferred tax recoverable/payable against any Deferred tax expense/ income. The same is included in ''Revenue from Operations'' in case of Generation and Transmission business.

Transaction Price - Remaining Performance Obligation

The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognised as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Company expects to recognise these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognised corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity''s performance completed to date.

The aggregate value of performance obligations that are partially unsatisfied as at March 31,2023, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above, is ? 74,806.16 crore (March 31,2022 - ? 71,547.14 crore). Out of this, the Company expects to recognize revenue of around 12.52% within next one year and the remaining thereafter.

Note:

(i) The Company supplied power to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd ("GUVNL") for the period January 1,2022 to May 5, 2022 based on the draft Supplementary Power Purchase Agreement ("SPPA") which is still under discussion and accordingly, during the current year the Company has recognised additional revenue of ? 277.00 crore (March 31,2022: ? 324.00 crore). Management believes that the Company has an enforceable right to recover the tariff as per the draft SPPA and does not expect any significant reversal in the amount recognised as revenue.

(ii) On May 5, 2022, Ministry of Power ("MoP") issued directions under Section 11 of the Electricity Act, 2003 to all imported coal-based power plants including Mundra plant to operate and generate power to their full capacity. Accordingly, the Company has declared availability and supplied power as per the MoP directions from May 6, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Further, the Company has filed petitions with Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) seeking clarifications on determination of tariff. On September 13, 2022 and January 3, 2023 CERC passed favourable orders in relation to determination of tariff during such period. Accordingly, the Company has recognised revenue based on such orders (Refer note 40(e)).

Contract assets

Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional.

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Liability written back in previous year includes, reversal of provision pertaining to fly ash of ? 21.74 crore recognised in earlier years pursuant to an order passed by National Green Tribunal on February 12, 2020. During the previous year, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) issued a Notification on December 31,2021 prescribing timelines and manner of utilization of legacy ash as on the date of the notification. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the legacy fly ash within the revised applicable timeline and accordingly the fly ash provision is reversed.

34. Finance Costs Accounting Policy Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

36. Income taxes Accounting Policy Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax related to items recognised outside Statement of Profit and Loss are recognised either in other comprehensive income or in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

For operations carried out under tax holiday period (Section 80IA of Income Tax Act, 1961), deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, have been recorded for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Deferred tax related to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised either in other comprehensive income or in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

18a Assets Classified as Held For Sale Accounting Policy

Non-current assets or disposal group are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset or disposal group and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. As at each balance sheet date, the management reviews the appropriateness of such classification.

Non-current assets or disposal group classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Property, plant and equipments and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations.

On 31st October, 2020, the Company had completed the sale of its SED to TASL and had received upfront consideration of ?597.00 crore (net of borrowings of ? 537.00 crore transferred to TASL) after certain adjustments as specified in the scheme.

During the year, Company has reassessed the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable and recognized an impairment loss of ?467.83 crore (March 31, 2021: ?160 crore) as exceptional item in the standalone financial statements. The fair value on consideration has been determined based on the expected value of the consideration using discounted present value technique. The fair value has been categorised under Level 3 inputs, the key assumption being expectation of achievement/non achievement of milestones as defined in the scheme of arrangement.

19. Regulatory Deferral Account Accounting Policy

The Company determines revenue gaps (i.e. surplus/shortfall in actual returns over returns entitled) in respect of its regulated operations in accordance with the provisions of Ind AS 114 - ''Regulatory Deferral Accounts'' read with the Guidance Note on Rate Regulated Activities issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and based on the principles laid down under the relevant Tariff Regulations/Tariff Orders notified by the Electricity Regulator and the actual or expected actions of the regulator under the applicable regulatory framework. Appropriate adjustments in respect of such revenue gaps are made in the regulatory deferral account of the respective year for the amounts which are reasonably determinable and no significant uncertainty exists in such determination. These adjustments/accruals representing revenue gaps are carried forward as Regulatory deferral accounts debit/credit balances (Regulatory Assets/Regulatory Liabilities) as the case may be in the Standalone financial statements, which would be recovered/refunded through future billing based on future tariff determination by the regulator in accordance with the electricity regulations. The Company presents separate line items in the balance sheet for:

i. the total of all regulatory deferral account debit balances and related deferred tax balances; and

ii. the total of all regulatory deferral account credit balances and related deferred tax balances."

Rate Regulated Activities

(i) As per Ind AS 114 - ''Regulatory Deferral Accounts'', the business of electricity distribution is a Rate Regulated activity wherein Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (''MERC''), determines Tariff to be charged from consumers based on prevailing regulations.

MERC Multi Year Tariff Regulations, 2019 (''MYT Regulations''), is applicable for the period beginning from 1st April, 2020 to 31st March, 2025. These regulations require MERC to determine tariff in a manner wherein the Company can recover its fixed and variable costs including assured rate of return on approved equity base, from its consumers. The Company determines the Revenue, Regulatory Assets and Liabilities as per the terms and conditions specified in MYT Regulations.

(ii) Terms/rights attached to equity shares

The Company has issued only one class of equity shares having a par value of ? 1/- per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

I n the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

In the earlier year, the Company had raised ? 1,500 crore through issue of Unsecured Perpetual Securities (the "Securities"). These Securities were perpetual in nature with no maturity or redemption and were callable only at the option of the Company. As these Securities were perpetual in nature and ranked senior only to the Share Capital of the Company and the Company does not had any redemption obligation, these were considered to be in the nature of equity instruments. During the year, pursuant to debenture trust deed dated June 23, 2011, the Company has exercised the call option to redeem the Securities on June 2, 2021 along with final interest.

i The shareholders of the Company in their meeting held on July 5, 2021, approved final dividend of ? 1.55 per share aggregating ? 495.28 crore for the financial year 2020-21. The said dividend was paid to the holders of fully paid equity shares on July 7, 2021.

ii Includes gain on fair valuation of land which is not available for distribution ? 87.88 crore

iii The Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 6, 2022 proposed a dividend of ? 1.75 per equity share subject to the approval of the shareholders in the upcoming annual general meeting and has not been included as a liability in the Standalone financial statements. The proposed equity dividend is payable to all holders of fully paid equity shares. The total estimated equity dividend to be paid is ? 559.68 crore.

iv During the previous year, the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting dated July 30, 2020 had approved the issuance of 49,05,66,037 equity shares of the face value of ? 1 each at ? 53 per equity share for an amount aggregating to ? 2,600 crores to Tata Sons Pvt Ltd on preferential basis.

2 The rate of interest for term loans from banks ranges from 5.05% to 8.15% (March 31, 2021 - 5.45% to 9.83%) and rate of interest for term loans from others is 7.60% (March 31,2021 - 7.60%).

23. Lease Liabilities Accounting Policy

At inception of contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone price.

As a Lessee i) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the discount rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

ii) Short term leases and leases of low value of assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leasing arrangement as Lessee

The Company has lease contracts for various items of plant, machinery, land, vehicles and other equipment used in its operations. Leases of Leasehold land including sub-surface rights and plant and equipment generally have lease term between 2 and 40 years. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.

1 The Company has entered into a Suppliers'' Credit Program ("Facility") with a third party whereby the third party shall pay the said coal suppliers on behalf of the Company and the Company shall pay the third party on the due date along with interest. The Company has utilised USD 43.99 million of this facility as at March 31, 2022. As the Facility provided by the third party is within the credit period provided by the coal vendors, the outstanding liability has been disclosed under other financial liabilities.

2 Includes amounts outstanding aggregating ? 0.21 crore (March 31, 2021 - ? 1.69 crore) for more than seven years pending disputes and legal cases.

27. Provisions

Accounting Policy

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions with charge to Statement of Profit and Loss. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Restructuring provisions are recognised only when the Company has a constructive obligation, which is when: (i) a detailed formal plan identifies the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs, and the timeline; and (ii) the employees affected have been notified of the plan''s main features.

Defined contribution plans

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefits plans

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on the earlier of:

- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss:

- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non routine settlements; and

- Net interest expense or income.

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Employee Benefit Plans 1. Defined Contribution plan

a) The Company makes superannuation fund contributions to defined contribution plan for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the superannuation fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.

The Company has recognised ? 7.16 crore (March 31, 2021 - ? 7.84 crore) for superannuation contribution in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contribution payable to the plan by the Company is at rates specified in the rules of the plan.

b) The Company operates defined contribution retirement benefit plans for employees of Mundra Plant. The employees of the Company are members of Employee Provident Fund. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.

The total expense recognized in Statement of Profit & Loss is ? 1.43 crores (for the year ended March 31,2021 ? 1.44 crores) represents contribution for the year paid/payable to the Employee Provident Fund. The contribution outstanding as at March 31, 2022 of ?.0.35 crore (as at March 31,2021 ? 0.35 crore) due in respect of financial year 2021-22 (financial year 2020-21) is payable in the subsequent reporting periods.

c) The Company is in the process of transferring employees under erstwhile Coastal Gujarat Power Limited to the payroll of the Company. Post transfer, all employees will get transferred to existing provident fund scheme and gratuity fund scheme of the Company.

2. Defined benefit plans

2.1 The Company operates the following unfunded/funded defined benefit plans:

Funded:

Provident Fund

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified are paid to the provident fund trust set by the Company. The Company is generally liable for annual contributions. However, any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return are recognised as an expense in the year it is incurred. Having regard to the assets of the fund and the return on the investments, the Company expects net shortfall of ? Nil.

The actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability based on the assumptions listed and determined the net short fall of ? Nil as at March 31, 2022 (March 31,2021 - ? 6.50 crore) which has been recognised as an expense during the year.

The significant assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Post Employment Medical Benefits

The Company provides certain post-employment health care benefits to superannuated employees at some of its locations. In terms of the plan, the retired employees can avail free medical check-up and medicines at Company''s facilities.

Pension (including Director pension)

The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for employees who have completed 15 years of continuous service. The plan provides benefits to members in the form of a pre-determined lumpsum payment on retirement. Executive Director, on retirement, is entitled to pension payable for life including HRA benefit. The level of benefit is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

Ex-Gratia Death Benefit

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting ex-gratia in case of death during service. The benefit consists of a predetermined lumpsum amount along with a sum determined based on the last drawn basic salary per month and the length of service.

Retirement Gift

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting a pre-determined sum as retirement gift on superannuation of an employee. Gratuity

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at the retirement date. The gratuity plan is a combination of funded plan and unfunded plan. Unfunded plan pertains to employees of erstwhile Coastal Gujarat Power Limited which has been merged with the Company based on National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) order dated 31.03.2022 . In case of funded plan, the fund has the form of a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy in accordance with the trust regulations.

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. When 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 method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period. These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment Risk, Interest Risk, Longevity Risk and Salary Risk.

The contribution expected to be made by the Company during the financial year 2022-23 is ? 19.97 crore.

2.6 Risk exposure:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk, the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary and medical cost will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

1. The rate of interest for term loans from banks ranges from 4.60% to 9.50% (March 31, 2021 - 6.50% to 9.50%) and loan from others is 3.42% to 6.99% (March 31,2021 - 3.13% to 7.50%).

2. The term loan mentioned in (a) above have been secured by pari passu first charge over all current assets of the Company, present and future, except for specific wind assets.

* While submitting the quarterly statements for all four quarters during the year, the Company inadvertently included and disclosed unapproved regulatory balances as approved. However, subsequent to year end, the Company has communicated to Bank about the said discrepancy. Further, Bank has confirmed that the intention was not to exclude unapproved balances from the receivable and has initiated the process to change the sanction letter wherein total regulatory asset balance should be considered as receivables for the purpose of sanction limit.

# Subsequent to year end, Company has submitted the revised statement for quarter ended December 2021 and receivable balances as per revised statements are in agreement with the books of accounts.

Revenue recognition Accounting Policy

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Description of performance obligations are as follows :

(i) Sale of Power - Generation (Thermal and Hydro): Regulated

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered.

The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (''ARR'') comprising of expenditure on account of fuel cost, operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies. Accordingly, rate per unit is determined using input method based on the Company''s efforts to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(ii) Sale of Power - Generation: Non-regulated

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount, rebate, etc. when the power is supplied as it best depicts the value to the customer and complete satisfaction of performance obligation.

Variable Consideration forming part of the total transaction price including compensation on account of change in law will be allocated and recognised when the terms of variable payment relate specifically to the Company''s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation i.e. in the year of occurrence of event linked to variable consideration.

The transaction price has been adjusted for significant financing component, if any and the adjustment is accounted as finance cost. The difference between the revenue recognised and amount invoiced has been presented as deferred revenue/ unbilled revenue.

(iii) Sale of Power - Generation (Wind and Solar)

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the contracted rate.

(iv) Transmission of Power

Revenue from transmission of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for transmission of electricity. The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (''ARR'') comprising of expenditure on account of operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies. Input method is used to recognize revenue based on the Company''s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power. As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(v) Sale of Power - Distribution

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the pre determined rate.

(vi) Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time based on : Input method where the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of performance obligation. Revenue, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally based on measure of progress. Output method where direct measurements of value to the customer based on survey''s of performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised net of cash discount at a point in time at the contracted rate.

(vii) Consumers are billed on a monthly basis and are given average credit period of 30 to 60 days for payment. Wherever applicable no delayed payment charges (''DPC'') is charged for the initial 30 days from the date of receipt of invoice by customers. Thereafter, DPC is charged as per the relevant contracts on the outstanding balance. Revenue in respect of delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payments leviable as per the relevant contracts are recognised on actual realisation or accrued based on an assessment of certainty of realisation supported by either an acknowledgement from customers or on receipt of favourable order from regulator / authorities.

(viii) In the regulated operations of the Company where tariff recovered from consumers is determined on cost plus return on equity, the Income tax cost is pass through cost and accordingly the Company recognises Deferred tax recoverable/payable against any Deferred tax expense/ income. The same is included in ''Revenue from Operations'' in case of Generation and Transmission business.

There are no significant judgements involved while evaluating the timing as to when customers obtain control of promised goods and services.

Transaction Price - Remaining Performance Obligation

The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognised as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Company expects to recognise these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognised corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity''s performance completed to date.

The aggregate value of performance obligations that are partially unsatisfied as at March 31,2022, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above, is ? 71,547.14 crore (March 31, 2021 - ? 1,06,758.95 crore). Out of this, the Company expects to recognize revenue of around 11.11% within next one year and the remaining thereafter.

Note:

(i) With respect to Mundra Power Plant, the Company has initiated the discussions with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited to enter into a supplementary power purchase agreement (SPPA). The discussions are at very advanced stage and agreement is reached except few items for which discussions are ongoing and accordingly the SPPA is yet to be signed and approved. To ensure continuous supply of power, GUVNL has requested the Company to continue supplying power based on the SPPA which will be effective January 1, 2022. Accordingly the differential revenue of ? 324.00 crore has been recognized on the basis of the current agreed draft of SPPA for the period from January 2022 to March 2022. Management believes that the Company has an enforceable right to recover the tariff as per draft SPPA and does not expect any significant reversal in the amount recognised as revenue.

(ii) As per power purchase agreement for Mundra Power Plant, the Company''s entitlement to capacity revenue is dependent on availability declared. Accordingly, the Company accrues capacity revenue based on actual declared capacity in the past and for the current year. During the year ended March 31, 2022, based on the actual capacity declared, management has recognized an amount of ? 230.47 crore (including ? 123.27 crore relating to earlier years) as a reduction in revenue.

Contract assets

Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional.

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

32. Other Income Accounting Policy Dividend and Interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has been established.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Liability written back includes, reversal of provision pertaining to fly ash of ? 21.74 crore recognised in earlier years pursuant to an order passed by National Green Tribunal on February 12, 2020. During the year, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) issued a Notification on 31st December, 2021 prescribing timelines and manner of utilization of legacy ash as on the date of the notification. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the legacy fly ash within the revised applicable timeline and accordingly the fly ash provision is reversed.

36. Income taxes Accounting Policy Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax related to items recognised outside Statement of Profit and Loss are recognised either in other comprehensive income or in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

For operations carried out under tax holiday period (Section 80IA of Income Tax Act, 1961), deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, have been recorded for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Deferred tax related to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised either in other comprehensive income or in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

a Subsequent to the merger of Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL) with the Company with effect from April 1, 2020, the Company has reassessed its provision for current taxes and has written back an amount of ?87.30 crore relating to previous year.

b The Company has also reassessed the recoverability of unabsorbed depreciation and brought forward tax losses of CGPL and has recognized deferred tax asset amounting to ? 968.56 crore and has written off deferred tax asset on capital losses amounting to ?230.00 crore.

c The Company has transitioned to the new tax regime effective April 1,2020 and accordingly, during the year, the Company had remeasured its tax balances and reversed the deferred tax asset amounting to ?359.62 crore and written back current tax provision amounting to ?17.81 crore.

1 During the previous year, the Company had entered into a Business Transfer Agreement with Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited and Tata Power Green Energy Limited, wholly owned subsidiaries, for transfer of renewable assets (forming part of renewable segment) as a "going concern” on a slump sale basis effective on or after April 1, 2021. Consequently, as per the requirement of Ind AS 12, the Company

Intangible Assets

Accounting Policy

Intangible Assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated Intangible Assets

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Derecognition of Intangible Assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life on straight line basis and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Non-current Investments (Contd.)

The Company, along with its subsidiary, has 30.68% shareholding in TCL Ceramics Ltd (formerly known as Tata Ceramics Ltd.). Further, TCL Ceramics Ltd. has issued Redeemable Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares which have been fully subscribed by the Company and its subsidiaries. As the dividend on the said Preference Shares has remained unpaid for more than two years, the preference shareholders have assumed voting rights along with the equity shareholders. The aggregate voting power (together with voting power on preference shares) with the Company along with its subsidiaries is at 57.07%. As the Company has sufficient dominant voting interest to direct TCL Ceramics Ltd.''s relevant activities, investment in the said Company has been considered as investment in subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (''Agreement'') dated 4th January, 2020, the Company had transferred its Equity and Preference share to the purchasers as a part of the conditions mentioned in the Agreement subject to final closing. The said shares has been pledged back to the Company by the purchasers till the final closure. As all the conditions related to the closing has not been completed, the Company believes that it still controls TCL Ceramics Ltd. till all the conditions are fulfilled. Hence, no impact of sale of share has been accounted in the Standalone financial statements. The impact of the sale on the Company''s Standalone financial statement will not be significant.

During the year ended 31st March, 2021, the Company has acquired 51 % stake in TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (''TPCODL''), TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited (''TPWODL'') and TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (''TPSODL'') for '' 178.95 crore, '' 255.04 crore and '' 127.52 crore respectively. TPCODL, TPWODL and TPSODL are the licensees to carry out the function of distribution and retail supply of electricity covering the distribution circles of Central, Western and Southern Odisha for a period of 25 years effective from 1st June, 2020, 1st January, 2021 and 1st January, 2021 respectively.

During the year, the Company has received bonus equity shares 25,50,00,000 Nos from Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd and subscribed to right issue of equity shares 1,750 Nos from Tata International Ltd.

The Board of Directors of the Company in its meeting held on 12th August, 2020, have approved the Composite scheme of Arrangement for merger of Coastal Gujarat Power Limited and Tata Power Solar Systems Limited (wholly owned subsidiaries) with the Company along with the capital reorganisation after the merger. The Board of Directors have also approved the Scheme of Amalgamation for merger of Af-taab Investment Company Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary) with the Company. The aforesaid schemes have been approved by shareholders of the Company and are subject to the necessary approvals from regulatory authorities including National Company Law Tribunal. Post necessary approvals, the merger will be accounted in accordance with Appendix C of Ind AS 103 - ''Business combinations of entities under common control'' using pooling of interest method.

(a) The Company holds investments in Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd. (CGPL) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company operating 4,000 MW Mundra power plant), Indonesian mining companies PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Baramulti Suksessarana TBK (BSSR) through intermediate holding companies (associates operating coal mines in Indonesia and supplying coal to CGPL) and Trust Energy Resources Pte. Ltd. (TERPL) (shipping company in Singapore providing freight services for coal shipment to CGPL). All these companies constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU) and form part of same segment due to interdependency of cash flows. CGPL is incurring significant losses on account of significant increase in coal prices due to change in Indonesian laws which is offset by the profits earned by the mining companies.

Non-current Investments (Contd.)

The Company has performed the impairment assessment and determined the value in use based on estimated cash flow projections over the life of the assets included in CGU. The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company''s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. For Mundra power plant, future cash flows is estimated based on remaining period of long term power purchase agreement (PPA) and thereafter based on management''s estimate on tariff and other assumptions. Cash flow projection of Mines is derived based on estimated coal production considering the renewal of license for operating the Mines. In the past, the Company had recognised an impairment provision of '' 3,555 crore in CGU. A reassessment of the assumptions used in estimating the impact of impairment of the cash generating unit (CGU) comprising of Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd. and the Indonesian coal mines, combined with the significant impact of unwinding of a year''s discount on the cash flows, would have resulted in a reversal of ? 1,625 crore of provision for impairment. Considering the significant uncertainties arising from ongoing renegotiation of the Mundra Power Purchase Agreement, as recommended by the High Powered Committee, and the pending renewal of the mining license at the Indonesian coal mines, the Company has not effected such a reversal. The reversal of impairment has not resulted from any significant improvement in the estimated service potential of the concerned CGU.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculation include coal prices, energy prices post the PPA period, discount rates and exchange rates. Short term coal prices and energy prices used in three to five years projections are based on market survey and expert analysis report. Afterwards increase in cost of coal and exchange rates are considered based on long term historical trend. Further, the Management strongly believes that mine licenses will be renewed post expiry. Discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risk specific to CGU taking into consideration the time value of money. Pre tax discount rate used in the calculation of value in use of investment in power plant is 10.50% p.a. (31st March, 2020: 10.87% p.a.) and investment in coal mines and related infrastructure companies is 14.11% p.a. (31st March, 2020: 12.68% p.a.).

(b) Tata Power International Pte. Ltd. (TPIPL) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) holds investments in Adjaristsqali Netherlands B.V.(ABV) (a joint venture of TPIPL) operating 187 MW hydro power plant in Georgia. During the previous year, the Company has recognised a reversal of '' 235.00 crore comprising of reversal of '' 103.74 crore towards financial guarantee obligation and impairment loss reversal of ''131.26 crore which was disclosed as an exceptional item in the statement of profit and loss.

Trade Receivables

As at 31st March, 2021, '' 495.13 crore (31st March, 2020 - '' 639.18 crore) is due from Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport Undertaking, Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd.,Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation and Tata Steel Ltd. which represents Company''s large customers who owe more than 5% of the total balance of trade receivables.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

Finance Lease Receivable - At Amortised Cost

(Unsecured unless otherwise stated)

Accounting Policy

Leases are classified as finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating lease. Amount due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company''s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leasing Arrangements

The Company has entered into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with a customer for its assets located at Jojobera. The assets relate to 30 years of take or pay agreements with the customer to supply electricity at a fixed plus variable charge. The customer, during the term of the PPAs has a right to purchase the assets and at the end of the contract is obligated to purchase the same on the basis of the valuation to be determined as per the PPAs. The Company has recognised an amount of '' 84.66 crore (31st March, 2020 - '' 88.91 crore) as income for finance lease during the year ended 31st March, 2021.

Accounting Policy

Non-current assets or disposal group are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset or disposal group and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. As at each balance sheet date, the management reviews the appropriateness of such classification.

Non-current assets or disposal group classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Property, plant and equipments and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss. Additional disclosures are provided hereunder. All other notes to the Standalone financial statements mainly include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned.

(iii) During the previous year, the Company has reclassified following assets from held for sale to Property, Plant and Equipments :

(a) Building at Erangal '' 0.23 crore.

(b) Oil Tankage unit at Trombay (Land '' 0.04 crore, Building and Plant and Equipments '' 4.68 crore).

(iv) During the previous year, the Company has classified Helicopter (Book Value '' 0.17 crore) from Property, Plant and Equipments to held for sale.

(v) During the previous year, Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (''MERC'') had ordered termination of Vikhroli Transmission Lines project, carried out by the Company and decided to invite fresh bids for completion of the project. MERC had also ordered that cost incurred by the Company shall be reimbursed by the successful bidder. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the said project as held for sale.During the year, the Company has received an amount of '' 118.27 crore against the said project.

. Assets Classified as Held For Sale - Discontinued Operations

During the earlier year, the Company approved sale of its Strategic Engineering Division (SED) to Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. (TASL) [a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Pvt. Ltd.] as a going concern on slump sale basis, subject to regulatory approvals at an enterprise value of '' 2,230 crore (out of which '' 1,040 crore payable at the time of closing and '' 1,190 crore payable on achieving certain milestones). Accordingly, defence business segment is presented as discontinued operations. On 31st October, 2020, the Company has completed the sale of its SED to TASL and has received upfront consideration of '' 597.00 crores (net of borrowings of '' 537.00 crore transferred to TASL) after certain adjustments as specified in the scheme.

Regulatory Deferral Account

Accounting Policy

Lease Liabilities

Accounting Policy

At inception of contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone price.

As a Lessee

i) Right-of-Use Assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received and estimate of costs to dismantle. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

- Plant and Equipment - 2 years

- Leasehold land including Sub-surface rights - 2 to 25 years

The Company presents right-to-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ''Property, Plant and Equipment''.

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the discount rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

iii) Short term leases and leases of low value of assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leasing arrangement as Lessee

The Company has lease contracts for various items of plant, machinery, land, vehicles and other equipments used in its operations. Leases of Leasehold land including sub-surface rights and plant and equipment generally have lease term between 2 and 25 years. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.

Provisions

Accounting Policy

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions with charge to statement of profit and loss. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Restructuring provisions are recognised only when the Company has a constructive obligation, which is when: (i) a detailed formal plan identifies the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs, and the timeline; and (ii) the employees affected have been notified of the plan''s main features.

Defined contribution plans

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefits plans

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:

- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non routine settlements; and

- Net interest expense or income.

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

1. Defined Contribution plan

The Company makes superannuation fund contributions to defined contribution plan for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the superannuation fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.

The Company has recognised '' 7.84 crore (31st March, 2020 - '' 9.32 crore) for superannuation contribution in the statement of profit and loss. The said amount is excluding of amounts recognised by the Strategic Engineering Division (SED) (Discontinued operations). The contribution payable to the plan by the Company is at rates specified in the rules of the plan.

2. Defined benefit plans

2.1 The Company operates the following unfunded/funded defined benefit plans:

Funded:

Provident Fund

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified are paid to the provident fund trust set by the Company. The Company is generally liable for annual contributions. However, any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return are recognised as an expense in the year it is incurred.

Having regard to the assets of the fund and the return on the investments, the Company expects net shortfall of ? 6.50 crore which has been provided as an expenditure during the year.

The actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability based on the assumptions listed and determined the net short fall of ? 6.50 crore as at 31st March, 2021 (31st March, 2020 - ? 10.52 crore) which has been recognised as an expense during the year.

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at the retirement date. The gratuity plan is funded plan. The fund has the form of a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy in accordance with the trust regulations.

Unfunded:

Post Employment Medical Benefits

The Company provides certain post-employment health care benefits to superannuated employees at some of its locations. In terms of the plan, the retired employees can avail free medical check-up and medicines at Company''s facilities.

Pension (including Director pension)

The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for employees who have completed 15 years of continuous service. The plan provides benefits to members in the form of a pre-determined lumpsum payment on retirement. Executive Director, on retirement, is entitled to pension payable for life including HRA benefit. The level of benefit is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

Ex-Gratia Death Benefit

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting ex-gratia in case of death during service. The benefit consists of a predetermined lumpsum amount along with a sum determined based on the last drawn basic salary per month and the length of service.

Risk exposure:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk, the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary and medical cost will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straight forward and depends

Revenue from Operations

Revenue recognition Accounting Policy

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Description of performance obligations are as follows :

(i) Sale of Power - Generation (Thermal and Hydro)

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered.

The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (''ARR'') comprising of expenditure on account of fuel cost, operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies. Accordingly, rate per unit is determined using input method based on the Company''s efforts to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(ii) Sale of Power - Generation (Wind and Solar)

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the contracted rate.

(iii) Transmission of Power

Revenue from transmission of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for transmission of electricity. The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (''ARR'') comprising of expenditure on account of operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies.

Input method is used to recognize revenue based on the Company''s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(iv) Sale of Power - Distribution

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the pre determined rate.

(v) Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time based on :

Input method where the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of performance obligation. Revenue, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally based on measure of progress.

Output method where direct measurements of value to the customer based on survey''s of performance completed to date.

Revenue is recognised net of cash discount at a point in time at the contracted rate.

(vi) Consumers are billed on a monthly basis and are given average credit period of 30 to 45 days for payment. No delayed payment charges (''DPC'') is charged for the initial 30 days from the date of receipt of invoice by customers. Thereafter, DPC is charged as per the relevant contracts on the outstanding balance once the dues are received. Revenue in respect of delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payments leviable as per the relevant contracts are recognised on actual realisation or accrued based on an assessment of certainty of realisation supported by either an acknowledgement from customers or on receipt of favourable order from regulator / authorities.

(vii) In the regulated operations of the Company where tariff recovered from consumers is determined on cost plus return on equity, the Income tax cost is pass through cost and accordingly the Company recognises Deferred tax recoverable/ payable against any Deferred tax expense/ income. The same is included in ''Revenue from Operations'' in case of Generation and Transmission business.

There are no significant judgements involved while evaluating the timing as to when customers obtain control of promised goods and services.

Transaction Price - Remaining Performance Obligation

The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognised as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Company expects to recognise these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognised corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity''s performance completed to date.

The aggregate value of performance obligations that are partially unsatisfied as at 31st March, 2021, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above is '' Nil (31st March, 2020 - '' 18.59 crore). The Company expects to recognise it as revenue within next one year.

Income taxes Accounting Policy Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax related to items recognised outside Statement of Profit and Loss are recognised either in other comprehensive income or in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

For operations carried out under tax holiday period (Section 80IA of Income Tax Act, 1961), deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, have been recorded for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Deferred tax related to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised either in other comprehensive income or in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Accounting Policy

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the standalone

Financial Instruments (Contd.)

Note:

Certain unquoted investments are not held for trading, instead they are held for medium or long term strategic purpose. Upon the application of Ind AS 109 ''Financial Instruments'', the Company has chosen to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as the management believe this provides more meaningful presentation for medium and long term strategic investments, then reflecting changes in fair value immediately in profit or loss.

The management assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, trade receivables, loans, finance lease receivables, unbilled revenues, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values.

- Fair value of the government securities are based on the price quotations near the reporting date. Fair value of the unquoted equity shares have been estimated using market comparable method. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the marketability, active market price, discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management''s estimate of fair value for those unquoted equity investments.

- The fair value of the remaining FVTOCI financial assets are derived from quoted market price in active markets.

- The fair value of debentures is determined by using the quoted prices .The own non-performance risk as on 31st March, 2021 was assessed to be insignificant.

- The cost of certain unquoted investments approximate their fair value because there is a wide range of possible fair value measurements and the cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range.

- The fair value of loans from banks, other current financial liabilities and other non-current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flow using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

Fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This includes quoted equity instruments, government securities and quoted borrowings (fixed rate) that have quoted price.

Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This includes derivative financial instruments and unquoted floating and fixed rate borrowings.

Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This includes unquoted equity shares and contingent consideration receivable.

5 Capital Management & Gearing Ratio

For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to maximize the value for shareholders.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. From time to time, the Company reviews its policy related to dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or fresh issue of shares. The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company''s policy is to keep the gearing ratio around 50%. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and bank balances as detailed in the notes below.

The Company''s capital management is intended to create value for shareholders by facilitating the meeting of its long-term and short-term goals. Its Capital structure consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes below) and total equity.

(i) Debt is defined as Non-current borrowings (including current maturities) and Current borrowings (excluding derivative, financial guarantee contracts and contingent considerations) and interest accrued on Non-current and Current borrowings.

(ii) Equity is defined as Equity share capital, Unsecured perpetual securities and other equity.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no significant breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31st March, 2021 and 31st March, 2020.

4 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, trade and other payables, financial guarantee contracts and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables and other financial assets that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTOCI investments and enters into derivative transactions.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a risk committee that reviews the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company''s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The risk management polices

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management of the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:

Estimates used for impairment of property, plant and equipment of certain cash generating units (CGU) - Note 5 Estimated fair value of unquoted securities and impairment of investments - Note 8 Estimation of defined benefit obligation - Note 25 and 32

Estimation of current tax and deferred tax expense (including Minimum Alternate Tax credit) - Note 35

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgement to estimate the amount of provision required or to determine required disclosure related to litigation and claims against the Company - Note 38.

4. Property, plant and equipment Accounting Policy

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes purchase price (net of trade discount and rebates) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Ind AS 23. Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation commences when an asset is ready for its intended use. Freehold land and assets held for sale are not depreciated. Regulated Assets:

Depreciation on Property, plant and equipments in respect of electricity business of the Company covered under Part B of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, has been provided on the straight line method at the rates using the methodology as notified by the regulator.

Non-Regulated Assets:

Depreciation is recognised on the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and management estimate, depreciates certain items of building, plant and equipments over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

Decapitalisation

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipments is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Impairment

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a PPA period. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the market in which the asset is used.

Impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

5. Investment Property

Accounting Policy

Investment property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss, if any. Gain or loss on disposal of investment properties is determined as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Transfer to, or from, investment property is done at the carrying amount of the property.

6. Intangible Assets

Accounting Policy

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated Intangibles

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Derecognition of Intangible Assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life on straight line basis and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

7. Investments at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) reflect investment in quoted and unquoted equity securities. These equity shares are designated as FVTOCI as they are not held for trading purpose and are not in similar line of business as the Company, thus disclosing their fair value change in profit and loss will not reflect the purpose of holding.

(a) The Company holds investments in Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd. (CGPL) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company operating 4,000 MW Mundra power plant), Indonesian mining companies PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Baramulti Suksessarana TBK (BSSR) through intermediate holding companies (associates operating coal mines in Indonesia and supplying coal to CGPL) and Trust Energy Resources Pte. Ltd. (TERPL) and Eastern Energy Pte. Ltd. (EEPL) (shipping companies in Singapore providing freight services for coal shipment to CGPL). All these companies constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU) and form part of same segment due to interdependency of cash flows. CGPL is incurring significant losses on account of significant increase in coal prices due to change in Indonesian laws which is offset by the profits earned by the mining companies.

The Company has performed the impairment assessment and determined the value in use based on estimated cash flow projections over the life of the assets included in CGU. The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. For Mundra power plant, future cash flows is estimated based on remaining period of long term power purchase agreement (PPA) and thereafter based on management’s estimate on tariff and other assumptions. Cash flow projection of Mines is derived based on estimated coal production considering the renewal of license for operating the Mines. During the previous year, the Company had recognised an impairment provision of Rs. 3,555 crore in CGU. A reassessment of the assumptions used in estimating the impact of impairment of the cash generating unit (CGU) comprising of Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd. and the Indonesian coal mines, combined with the significant impact of unwinding of a year’s discount on the cash flows, would have resulted in a reversal of Rs. 2,100 crore of provision for impairment. Considering the significant uncertainties arising from ongoing renegotiation of the Mundra Power Purchase Agreement, as recommended by the High Powered Committee, and the pending renewal of the mining license at the Indonesian coal mines, the Company has not effected such a reversal. The reversal of impairment has not resulted from any significant improvement in the estimated service potential of the concerned CGU.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculation include coal prices, energy prices post the PPA period, discount rates and exchange rates. Short term coal prices and energy prices used in three to five years projections are based on market survey and expert analysis report. Afterwards increase in cost of coal and exchange rates are considered based on long term historical trend. Further, the Management strongly believes that mine licenses will be renewed post expiry. Discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risk specific to CGU taking into consideration the time value of money. Pre tax discount rate used in the calculation of value in use of investment in power plant is 10.61% p.a. (31st March 2018:11.15% p.a.) and investment in coal mines and related infrastructure companies is 16.31% p.a. (31st March 2018:21.95% p.a.).

(b) The Company holds investments in Adjaristsqali Netherlands B.V. (ABV) (a joint venture of the Company operating 187 MW hydro power plant in Georgia) through intermediate holding company Tata Power International Pte. Ltd. (TPIPL).

During the previous year, the Company performed the impairment assessment and recognised an impairment charge of Rs. 577.55 crore against the carrying value of equity investments in TPIPL. The financial guarantee obligation of Rs. 103.74 crore (31stMarch, 2018 -Rs. 9777 crore) is undertaken on behalf of TPIPL towards the lenders of the said project. The impairment charge and financial guarantee obligation amounting to Rs. 675.32 crore is recorded in the statement of profit and loss and disclosed as an exceptional item in the previous year. Further during the year, Management has re-assessed the impairment and continue to believe that the impairment loss recognised need not be reversed.

8.1 Trade Receivables

As at 31st March, 2019 - Rs. 900.14 crore (31stMarch, 2018 - Rs. 694.48crore) is due from Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport Undertaking, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd., Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd. and Tata Steel Ltd. which represents Company’s large customers who owe more than 5% of the total balance of trade receivables.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The expected credit loss allowance is not calculated on non current trade receivable on account of dispute. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

9. Finance Lease Receivable - At Amortised Cost

(Unsecured unless otherwise stated)

Accounting Policy Leasing arrangement

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

The Company as lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee. Amount due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

9.1 Leasing Arrangements

The Company has entered into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with a customer for its assets located at Jojobera. The assets relate to 30 years of take or pay agreements with the customer to supply electricity at a fixed plus variable charge. The customer, during the term of the PPAs has a right to purchase the assets and at the end of the contract is obligated to purchase the same on the basis of the valuation to be determined as per the PPAs. This arrangement is an embedded finance lease.

10. Inventories

Accounting Policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of inventory includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Unserviceable/damaged stores and spares are identified and written down based on technical evaluation.

11. Cash and Cash Equivalents - At Amortised Cost

Accounting Policy

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents include balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at banks and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdraft as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

12a. Assets Classified as Held For Sale Accounting Policy

Non-current assets or disposal group are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset or disposal group and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. As at each balance sheet date, the management reviews the appropriateness of such classification.

Non-current assets or disposal group classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

The Company treats sale/distribution of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:

- the appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

- an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

- the asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,

- the sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and

- actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale/distribution to owners are not depreciated or amortised.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations.

13. Regulatory Deferral Account

Accounting Policy

The Company determines revenue gaps (i.e. surplus/shortfall in actual returns over returns entitled) in respect of its regulated operations in accordance with the provisions of Ind AS 114 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” read with the Guidance Note on Rate Regulated Activities issued by ICAI and based on the principles laid down under the relevant Tariff Regulations/Tariff Orders notified by the Electricity Regulator and the actual or expected actions of the regulator under the applicable regulatory framework. Appropriate adjustments in respect of such revenue gaps are made in the regulatory deferral account of the respective year for the amounts which are reasonably determinable and no significant uncertainty exists in such determination. These adjustments/accruals representing revenue gaps are carried forward as Regulatory deferral accounts debit/credit balances (Regulatory Assets/Regulatory Liabilities) as the case may be in the financial statements, which would be recovered/refunded through future billing based on future tariff determination by the regulator in accordance with the electricity regulations. The Company presents separate line items in the balance sheet for:

i. the total of all regulatory deferral account debit balances and related deferred tax balances; and

ii. the total of all regulatory deferral account credit balances and related deferred tax balances.

A separate line item is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the net movement in regulatory deferral account. Regulatory assets/ liabilities on deferred tax expense/income is presented separately in the tax expense line item.

Rate Regulated Activities

(i) As per the Ind AS-114 ‘Regulatory Deferral Accounts’, the business of electricity distribution is a Rate Regulated activity wherein Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), the regulator determines Tariff to be charged from consumers based on prevailing regulations in place.

MERC Multi Year Tariff Regulations, 2015 (MYT Regulations), is applicable for the period beginning from 1st April, 2016 to 31st March, 2021. These regulations require MERC to determine tariff in a manner wherein the Company can recover its fixed and variable costs including assured rate of return on approved equity base, from its consumers. The Company determines the Revenue, Regulatory Assets and Liabilities as per the terms and conditions specified in MYT Regulations.

(ii) Reconciliation of Regulatory Assets/Liabilities of distribution business as per Rate Regulated Activities is as follows:

During the year, pursuant to receipt of true-up tariff order from the Regulatory Commission for the years 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17, the Company has recognised net income of Rs. 91.95 crore comprising of a credit of Rs. 274.26 crore in regulatory income and a charge of Rs. 182.31 crore to revenue from operations.

(ii) Terms/rights attached to Equity Shares

The Company has issued only one class of Equity Shares having a par value of Rs. 1/- per share. Each holder of Equity Shares is entitled to one vote per share. The final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of Equity Shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of Equity Shares held by the shareholders.

In an earlier year, the Company raised Rs. 1,500 crore through issue of Unsecured Perpetual Securities (the “Securities”). These Securities are perpetual in nature with no maturity or redemption and are callable only at the option of the Company. The distribution on these Securities are 11.40% with a step up provision if the Securities are not called after 10 years. The distribution on the Securities may be deferred at the option of the Company, if during the six months preceding the relevant distribution payment date, the Company has made no payment on, or redeemed or repurchased, any securities ranking pari passu with, or junior to the instrument. As these Securities are perpetual in nature and ranked senior only to the Share Capital of the Company and the Company does not have any redemption obligation, these are considered to be in the nature of equity instruments.

Notes:

1. Includes gain on fair valuation of land which is not available for distribution Rs. 222.31 crore (31st March, 2018 -Rs. 222.31 crore).

2. The shareholders of the Company in their meeting held on 27th July, 2018 approved final dividend of Rs. 1.30 per share aggregating Rs. 351.99 crore (excluding dividend distribution tax) for the financial year 2017-18. The said dividend was paid to the holders of fully paid equity shares on 30th July, 2018.

3. The Company has sold certain investments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income. The resultant (gain)/loss of Rs. 735.49 crore (31stMarch,2018-Rs. (174.74)crore) has been transferred from Equity Instruments through Other Comprehensive Income to Retained Earnings.

4. In respect of the year ended 31st March, 2019, the directors have proposed a dividend of Rs. 1.30 per share (31stMarch, 2018 - Rs. 1.30 per share) to be paid on fully paid shares. This equity dividend is subject to approval at the annual general meeting and has not been included as a liability in the financial statements. The proposed equity dividend is payable to all holders of fully paid equity shares. The total estimated equity dividend to be paid is Rs. 351.99 crore (31st March, 2018 -Rs. 351.99 crore) (excluding Dividend Distribution Tax).

Nature and purpose of reserves:

General Reserve

General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from Retained Earnings for appropriation purposes. As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the General Reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to statement of profit and loss.

Securities Premium

Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Debenture Redemption Reserve

The Company is required to create a Debenture Redemption Reserve out of the profits which are available for payment of dividend for the purpose of redemption of debentures.

Capital Redemption Reserve

Capital Redemption Reserve represents amounts set aside on redemption of preference shares.

Capital Reserve

Capital Reserve consists of forfeiture of the amount received from Tata Sons Pvt. Ltd. on preferential allotment of convertible warrants in the Company, on the lapse of the period to exercise right to convert the said warrants and on forfeiture of amounts paid on Debentures.

Statutory Reserves

Statutory Reserve consists of Special Appropriation towards Project Cost, Development Reserve and Investment Allowance Reserve.

Special appropriation to project cost - Due to high capital investment required for the expansion in the electricity industry, the Maharashtra State Government permits part of the capital cost of approved projects to be collected through the electricity tariff and held as a special appropriation.

Development Reserve / Investment Allowance Reserve - Until 1978, the Companies made appropriations to a Development Reserve and an Investment Allowance Reserve as required by the Income Tax Act, 1956. New appropriations to these reserves are no longer required due to changes in Indian law. An amount equal to 0.5% on the accumulation in the Investment Allowance Reserve was included in the reasonable return calculation.

Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings are the profits of the Company earned till date net of appropriations.

Equity Instruments through Other Comprehensive Income

This reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses arising on revaluation of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, net of amounts reclassified to retained earnings when those assets are disposed of.

14. Provisions

Accounting Policy

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions with charge to statement of profit and loss. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Defined contribution plans

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefits plans

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Past service costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:

- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non routine settlements; and

- Net interest expense or income.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

Current and other non-current employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of current employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other non-current employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Employee Benefit Plans

1. Defined Contribution plan

The Company makes superannuation fund contributions to defined contribution plan for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the superannuation fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.

The Company has recognised Rs. 9.19 crore (31st March, 2018 - Rs. 9.53 crore) for superannuation contribution in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The said amount is excluding of amounts recognised by the Strategic Engineering Division (SED) (Discontinued operations). The contribution payable to the plan by the Company is at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.

2. Defined benefit plans

2.1 The Company operates the following unfunded/funded defined benefit plans: Funded: Provident Fund

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the provident fund set up as a trust by the Company. The Company is generally liable for annual contributions and any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return and recognises such contributions and shortfall, if any, as an expense in the year it is incurred. Having regard to the assets of the fund and the return on the investments, the Company expects shortfall of Rs. 8.27 crore which has been provided as an expenditure during the year.

The significant assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Gratuity

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at the retirement date. The gratuity plan is funded plan. The fund has the form of a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy in accordance with the regulations. The funds are deployed in recognised insurer managed funds in India.

Unfunded:

Post Employment Medical Benefits

The Company provides certain post-employment health care benefits to superannuated employees at some of its locations. In terms of the plan, the retired employees can avail free medical check-up and medicines at Company’s facilities.

Pension (including Director pension)

The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for employees who have completed 15 years of continuous service. The plan provides benefits to members in the form of a pre-determined lumpsum payment on retirement. Executive Director, on retirement, is entitled to pension payable for life including HRA benefit. The level of benefit is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

Ex-Gratia Death Benefit

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting ex-gratia in case of death during service. The benefit consists of a pre-determined lumpsum amount along with a sum determined based on the last drawn basic salary per month and the length of service.

Retirement Gift

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting a pre-determined sum as retirement gift on superannuation of an employee.

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. When 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 method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

2.6 Risk exposure:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk, the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary and medical cost will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

2.7 Major categories of plan assets:

Plan assets are funded with the trust set up by the Company. The trust invests the funds in various financial instruments. Major categories of plan assets are as follows:

15. Revenue from Operations

Revenue recognition Accounting Policy

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Description of performance obligations are as follows :

(i) Sale of Power - Generation (Thermal and Hydro)

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered.

The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (‘ARR’) comprising of expenditure on account of fuel cost, operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies. Accordingly, rate per unit is determined using input method based on the Company’s efforts to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(ii) Sale of Power - Generation (Wind and Solar)

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the contracted rate.

(iii) Transmission of Power

Revenue from transmission of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for transmission of electricity. The Company as per the prevalent tariff regulations is required to recover its Annual Revenue Requirement (‘ARR’) comprising of expenditure on account of operations and maintenance expenses, financing costs, taxes and assured return on regulator approved equity with additional incentive for operational efficiencies.

Input method is used to recognize revenue based on the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation to deliver power.

As per tariff regulations, the Company determines ARR and any surplus/shortfall in recovery of the same is accounted as revenue.

(iv) Sale of Power - Distribution

Revenue from sale of power is recognised net of cash discount over time for each unit of electricity delivered at the pre determined rate.

(v) Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized over time based on output method where direct measurements of value to the customer based on survey’s of performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised net of cash discount at a point in time at the contracted rate.

(vi) Consumers are billed on a monthly basis and are given average credit period of 30 to 45 days for payment. No delayed payment charges (‘DPC’) is charged for the initial 30 days from the date of receipt of invoice by customers. Thereafter, DPC is charged at the rate prescribed by the Power Purchase Agreement on the outstanding balance once the dues are received. Revenue in respect of delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payments leviable as per the relevant contracts are recognised on actual realisation or accrued based on an assessment of certainty of realization supported by either an acknowledgement from customers or on receipt of favourable order from regulator / authorities.

There is no significant judgement involved while evaluating the timing as to when customers obtain control of promised goods and services.

Transaction Price - Remaining Performance Obligation

The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognised as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Company expects to recognise these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts as the revenue recognised corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date.

There are no aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as of 31st March, 2019, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above.

Revenue is disaggregated by type and nature of product or services. The table also includes the reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the Company’s reportable segment.

Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. Contract liability is the entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration from the customer in advance. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional and contract liabilities are recognised as revenue as and when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the year are as follows:

16. Other Income Accounting Policy Dividend and Interest Income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

17. Finance Costs Accounting Policy Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

During the year, the Company sold investments in Tata Communications Limited and Panatone Finvest Limited (Associate Companies) which were classified as assets held for sale in the previous year. The resultant gain on sale of investments of Rs. 1,212.99 crore has been disclosed as an exceptional income in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company’s investment in equity shares of Tata Teleservices Limited (‘TTSL’) which are measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income were classified as held for sale during the previous year. During the year ended 31st March, 2019, the Company has sold the said investment and recognised a gain of Rs. 0.01 crore after reduction in fair value amounting to Rs. 1,438.42 crore recognised in earlier years.

During the previous year ended 31st March, 2018, the Company had written put options on equity shares of TTSL. The changes in the fair value of these put options amounting to Rs. 107.08 crore was recognised as an exceptional expense in the statement of profit and loss.

18. Income taxes Accounting Policy Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised outside statement of profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

For operations carried out under tax holiday period (80IA benefits of Income Tax Act, 1961), deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, have been established for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised. The Company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

In the situations where one or more units of the Company are entitled to a tax holiday under the tax law, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognised in respect of temporary differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the concerned unit’s gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of temporary differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the year in which the temporary differences originate. However, the Company restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the temporary differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised.

- certain land and buildings classified as property, plant and equipment,

- derivative financial instruments;

- certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments).

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management of the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:

Estimates used for impairment of property, plant and equipment of certain cash generating units (CGU) - Note 5 Estimated fair value of unquoted securities and impairement of investments - Note 8 Estimation of defined benefit obligation - Note 24 and 31

Estimation of current tax and deferred tax expense (including Minimum Alternate Tax credit) - Note 34 Estimates and judgement are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

4 Property, Plant and Equipment

Accounting Policy

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes purchase price (net of trade discount & rebates) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any. Cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation commences when an asset is ready for its intended use. Freehold land and assets held for sale are not depreciated.

Regulated Assets:

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment in respect of electricity business of the Company covered under Part B of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, has been provided on the straight line method at the rates using the methodology as notified by the regulator.

Non-Regulated Assets:

Depreciation is recognised on the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of the Regulated and Non-Regulated assets are as follows:

Decapitalisation

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Impairment

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future Cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate Cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates Cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the market in which the asset is used.

5. Investment Property

Accounting Policy

Investment property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss. Gain or loss on disposal of investment properties is determined as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Transfer to, or from, investment property is done at the carrying amount of the property.

Fair Value :

The Investment Property is located in Mumbai, India, has been reclassified as Property, Plant and Equipment during the year ended 31st March, 2018. The fair value of the property as at 31st March, 2017 and 1st April, 2016 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out as on the respective dates by independent valuer. The fair value was derived using the market comparable approach based on recent market prices for similar properties in the neighbourhood without significant adjustment being made to the market observable data, but adjusted based on the valuer’s knowledge of the factors specific to the property.

During the year, the Company has started using the said property for its own business purpose and hence transferred the said Investment Property to Property, Plant and Equipment.

6. Intangible Assets

Accounting Policy

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Derecognition of Intangible assets.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

(a) The Company holds investments in Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company operating 4,000 MW Mundra power plant), Indonesian mining companies PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Baramulti Suksessarana TBK (BSSR) through intermediate holding companies (associates operating coal mines in Indonesia and supplying coal to CGPL) and Trust Energy Resources Pte. Ltd. (TERPL) and Eastern Energy Pte. Ltd. (EEPL) (shipping companies in Singapore providing freight services for coal shipment to CGPL). All these companies constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU) and form part of Power segment. CGPL is incurring significant losses on account of significant increase in coal prices due to change in Indonesian laws which is offset by the profits earned by the mining companies.

The Company has performed the impairment assessment and determined the value in use based on estimated cash flow projections over the life of the assets included in CGU. Projected cash flows include cash flow projections approved by management covering 3 to 5 year period and the cash flows beyond that has been projected based on the long term forecast.

As a result of this analysis, management has recognized an impairment charge of Rs.3,555 crore in the current year against the carrying value of equity investments in CGPL. The impairment charge is recorded in the statement of profit and loss and disclosed as an exceptional item.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculation include coal prices, energy prices post the PPA period, discount rates and exchange rates. Coal prices and energy prices used in the projections are based on projections made by reputed external experts. Further, the Management has considered renewal of coal mines which would be extended without incurring significant cost. Discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risk specific to CGU taking in to consideration the time value of money. Discount rate used in the calculation of value in use of investment in power plant is 11.15% (PY: 11.15%) and investment in coal mines and related infrastructure companies is 11.45% (PY: 11.45%).

(b) The Company holds investments in Adjaristsqali Netherlands B.V. (ABV) (a joint venture of the Company operating 187 MW hydro power plant in Georgia) through intermediate holding company Tata Power International Pte. Ltd. (TPIPL). ABV was incorporated to setup a hydro power plant in Georgia with an intent to sell power in the open market in Turkey. The continuous fall in power price in the open market in Turkey coupled with continuous devaluation of Turkish Lira indicates a potential impairment of the assets of the Georgia CGU included in Power segment.

The Company has performed the impairment assessment and determined the value in use based on estimated cash flow projections over the life of the assets included in CGU. Projected cash flows include cash flow projections approved by management covering 3 to 5 year period and the cash flows beyond that has been projected based on the long term forecast.

As a result of this analysis, management has recognized an impairment charge of Rs.577.55 crore in the current year against the carrying value of equity investments in TPIPL. The financial guarantee obligation of Rs.97.77 crore is undertaken on behalf of TPIPL towards the lenders of the said project. The impairment charge and financial guarantee obligation amounting to Rs.675.32 crore is recorded in the statement of profit and loss and disclosed as an exceptional item.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculation include power prices in the open market in Turkey, discount rates and exchange rates. Discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risk specific to CGU taking in to consideration the time value of money. The discount rate used in the calculation of value in use is 12%.

(c) The Company holds equity shares of Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) which are measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income. The Company had also written put options on equity shares of TTSL which have been exercised by the holder and the shares have been acquired during the year ended 31st March, 2018. The changes in the fair value of these put options are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. During the year ended 31st March, 2018, the Company recognized a fair value adjustment of Rs.384.88 crore (31st March, 2017 -Rs.114.46 crore) through Other Comprehensive Income and Rs.107.08 crore (31stMarch,2017-’651.45crore) as an exceptional expense in the statement of profit and loss.

7.1 Trade Receivables

The average credit period for the Company’s receivables from its generation, transmission, distribution and project management services is in the range of 15 to 60 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables till the due date. Thereafter, interest is charged at an average of 1.25% per month for retail electricity consumers on the outstanding balance.

As at 31st March, 2018, Rs.694.48 crore is due from Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport Undertaking, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd., Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited and Tata Steel Limited which represents Company’s large customers who owe more than 5% of the total balance of trade receivables.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The expected credit loss allowance is not calculated on non-current trade receivable since it is a disputed case. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

8. Finance Lease Receivable

(Unsecured unless otherwise stated)

Accounting Policy Leasing arrangement

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

The Company as lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

8.1 Leasing Arrangements

The Company has entered into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with a customer for its assets located at Jojobera. The assets relate to 30 years of take or pay agreements with the customer to supply electricity at a fixed plus variable charge. The customer, during the term of the PPAs has a right to purchase the assets and at the end of the contract is obligated to purchase the same on the basis of the valuation determined under the PPAs. This arrangement is an embedded finance lease.

9. Inventories

Accounting Policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Costs of inventories are determined on weighted average basis.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Unserviceable/damaged stores and spares are identified and written down based on technical evaluation

10. Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounting Policy

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents include balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

11. Assets classified as held for sale Accounting Policy

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. As at each balance sheet date, the management reviews the appropriateness of such classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The Company treats sale/distribution of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:

- the appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

- an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

- the asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,

- the sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and

- actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale/distribution to owners are not depreciated or amortised.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss. Additional disclosures are provided hereunder. All other notes to the financial statements mainly include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned.

(i) The Company had decided to sell/transfer following land and consequently accounted as assets held for sale at lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell:

12. Regulatory Deferral Account Accounting Policy

The Company determines revenue gaps (i.e. surplus/shortfall in actual returns over returns entitled) in respect of its regulated operations in accordance with the provisions of Ind AS 114 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” read with the Guidance Note on Rate Regulated Activities issued by ICAI and based on the principles laid down under the relevant Tariff Regulations/Tariff Orders notified by the Electricity Regulator and the actual or expected actions of the regulator under the applicable regulatory framework. Appropriate adjustments in respect of such revenue gaps are made in the revenue of the respective year for the amounts which are reasonably determinable and no significant uncertainty exists in such determination. These adjustments/ accruals representing revenue gaps are carried forward as Regulatory deferral accounts debit/credit balances (Regulatory Assets/Regulatory Liabilities) as the case may be in the financial statements, which would be recovered/refunded through future billing based on future tariff determination by the regulator in accordance with the electricity regulations. The Company presents separate line items in the balance sheet for:

i. the total of all regulatory deferral account debit balances and related deferred tax balances; and

ii. the total of all regulatory deferral account credit balances and related deferred tax balances.

A separate line item is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the net movement in regulatory deferral account. Regulatory assets/liabilities on deferred tax expense/income is presented separately in the tax expense line item.

Rate Regulated Activities

(i) As per the Ind AS114 ‘Regulatory Deferral Accounts’, the business of electricity distribution is a Rate Regulated activity wherein Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), the regulator determines Tariff to be charged from consumers based on prevailing regulations in place.

MERC Multi Year Tariff Regulations, 2015 (MYT Regulations), is applicable for the period beginning from 1st April, 2016 to 31st March, 2021. These regulations require MERC to determine tariff in a manner wherein the Company can recover its fixed and variable costs including assured rate of return on approved equity base, from its consumers. The Company determines the Revenue, Regulatory Assets and Liabilities as per the terms and conditions specified in MYT Regulations.

(ii) Reconciliation of Regulatory Assets/Liabilities of distribution business as per Rate Regulated Activities is as follows:

(ii) Terms/rights attached to Equity Shares

The Company has issued only one class of Equity Shares having a par value of Rs.1/- per share. Each holder of Equity Shares is entitled to one vote per share. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of Equity Shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of Equity Shares held by the shareholders.

In an earlier year the Company had raised Rs.1,500 crore through issue of Unsecured Perpetual Securities (the “Securities”). These Securities are perpetual in nature with no maturity or redemption and are callable only at the option of the Company. The distribution on these Securities are 11.40% with a step up provision if the Securities are not called after 10 years (Year 2022). The distribution on the Securities may be deferred at the option of the Company, if during the six months preceding the relevant distribution payment date, the Company has made no payment on, or redeemed or repurchased, any securities ranking pari passu with, or junior to the instrument. As these Securities are perpetual in nature and ranked senior only to the Share Capital of the Company and the Company does not have any redemption obligation, these are considered to be in the nature of equity instruments.

Notes:

1. The National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai vide order dated 27th July, 2017, approved the Scheme of Amalgamation of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Chemical Terminal Trombay Limited (CTTL) with the Company with effect from 1st April, 2017 (the appointed date).

As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the General Reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to statement of profit and loss.

Securities Premium Reserve

Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Debenture Redemption Reserve

The Company is required to create a Debenture Redemption Reserve out of the profits which are available for payment of dividend for the purpose of redemption of debentures.

Capital Redemption Reserve

Capital Redemption Reserve represents amounts set aside on redemption of preference shares.

Capital Reserve

Capital Reserve consists of forfeiture of the amount received from Tata Sons Limited on preferential allotment of convertible warrants in the Company, on the lapse of the period to exercise right to convert the said warrants and on forfeiture of amounts paid on Debentures.

Statutory Reserve

Statutory Reserve consists of Special Appropriation towards Project Cost, Development Reserve and Investment Allowance Reserve.

Special appropriation to project cost - Due to high capital investment required for the expansion in the electricity industry, the Maharashtra State government permits part of the capital cost of approved projects to be collected through the electricity tariff and held as a special appropriation.

Development Reserve / Investment Allowance Reserve - Until 1978, the Companies made appropriations to a Development Reserve and an Investment Allowance Reserve as required by the Income Tax Act, 1956. New appropriations to these reserves are no longer required due to changes in Indian law. An amount equal to 0.5% on the accumulation in the Investment Allowance Reserve was included in the reasonable return calculation.

Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings are the profits of the Company earned till date net of appropriations.

Equity Instrument through Other Comprehensive Income

This reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses arising on revaluation of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, net of amounts reclassified to retained earnings when those assets are disposed of.

Security

(i) The Debentures mentioned in (a) have been secured by a charge on movable properties and assets of the Company at Agaswadi and Visapur in Satara District of Maharashtra and Poolavadi in Tirupur District of Tamil Nadu.

(ii) The Debentures mentioned in (b) have been secured by a pari passu charge on the assets of the wind farms situated at Samana in Gujarat, Gadag in Karnataka and immovable properties in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

13. Provisions

Accounting Policy

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Employee Benefit Plans

1. Defined Contribution plan

The Company makes Superannuation Fund contributions to defined contribution plans for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the Superannuation Fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.

The Company has recognised Rs.9.53 crore (31st March, 2017 -Rs.10.23 crore) for superannuation contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The said amount is inclusive of expenses recognised by Chemical Terminal Trombay Limited (CTTL) amalgamated with the Company and exclude amounts recognised by the Strategic Engineering Division (SED), Discontinued operations. The contribution payable to the plan by the Company is at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.

2. Defined benefit plans

2.1 The Company operates the following unfunded/funded defined benefit plans:

Funded:

Provident Fund

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the provident fund set up as a trust by the Company. The Company is generally liable for annual contributions and any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return and recognises such contributions and shortfall, if any, as an expense in the year it is incurred. Having regard to the assets of the fund and the return on the investments, the Company does not expect any shortfall in the foreseeable future.

In terms of guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India, the Actuary has provided a valuation of Provident fund liability based on the assumptions listed and determined that there is no shortfall as at 31st March, 2018.

Gratuity

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at the retirement date. The gratuity plan is funded plan. The fund has the form of a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy in accordance with the regulations. The funds are deployed in recognised insurer managed funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimates of expected gratuity payments.

Unfunded:

Post Employment Medical Benefits

The Company provides certain post-employment health care benefits to superannuated employees at some of its locations. In terms of the plan, the retired employees can avail free medical check-up and medicines at Company’s facilities.

Pension (including Director pension)

The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for employees who have completed 15 years of continuous service. The plan provides benefits to members in the form of a pre-determined lumpsum payment on retirement. Executive Director, on retirement, is entitled to pension payable for life including HRA benefit. The level of benefit is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

Ex-Gratia Death Benefit

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting ex-gratia in case of death during service. The benefit consists of a pre-determined lumpsum amount alongwith a sum determined based on the last drawn basic salary per month and the length of service.

Retirement Gift

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting a pre-determined sum as retirement gift on superannuation of an employee.

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. When 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.

1.1 Risk exposure:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk, the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary and medical cost will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

1.2 Major categories of plan assets:

Plan assets are funded with the trust set up by the Company. The trust invests the funds in various financial instruments. Major categories of plan assets are as follows:

13. Revenue from Operations

Revenue recognition Accounting Policy

A. Revenue is recognized when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below. The Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Further, specific criteria for revenue recognition followed for different businesses are as under-

(i) Power Business:

a. Revenue from Distribution Business: Revenue from sale of power is accounted for on the basis of billing to consumers based on billing cycles followed by the Company which is inclusive of fuel adjustment charges (FAC) and includes unbilled revenue for the year. Generally all consumers are billed on the basis of recording of consumption of energy by installed meters.

b. Revenue from Transmission Business: In case of transmission businesses, revenue is accounted on the basis of periodic billing to consumers/state transmission utility. The surcharge on late/non-payment of dues by customers for sale of energy is recognized as revenue on certainty of receipt. The Transmission system Incentive/disincentive is accounted for based on the certification of availability by the respective regional power committee and in accordance with the norms notified/approved by the MERC.

c. The Company determines revenue gaps (i.e. surplus/shortfall in actual returns over returns entitled) in respect of its regulated operations in accordance with the provisions of Ind AS 114 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” read with the Guidance Note on Rate Regulated Activities issued by ICAI and based on the principles laid down under the relevant Tariff Regulations/Tariff Orders notified by the Electricity Regulator and the actual or expected actions of the regulator under the applicable regulatory framework. Appropriate adjustments in respect of such revenue gaps are made in the revenue of the respective year for the amounts which are reasonably determinable and no significant uncertainty exists in such determination. These adjustments/ accruals representing revenue gaps are carried forward as Regulatory deferral accounts debit/credit balances (Regulatory Assets/Regulatory Liabilities) as the case may be in the financial statements, which would be recovered/refunded through future billing based on future tariff determination by the regulator in accordance with the electricity regulations.

The Company presents separate line items in the balance sheet for:

i. the total of all regulatory deferral account debit balances; and

ii. the total of all regulatory deferral account credit balances.

A separate line item is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the net movement in regulatory deferral account for the reporting period.

B. Delayed payment charges

Delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payments are recognised, on grounds of prudence when recovered.

C. Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered. The revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours and direct expenses are incurred.

D. Dividend and Interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

E. Construction Contracts

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

The outcome of a construction contract is considered as estimated reliably when

(a) total contract revenue can be measured reliably

(b) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the entity

(c) both the contract costs to complete the contract and the stage of contract completion at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably

(d) the contract costs attributable to the contract can be clearly identified and measured reliably so that actual contract costs incurred can be compared with prior estimates.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

When contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts due from customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the balance sheet, as a liability, as advances received from customer. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the balance sheet under trade receivables.

14. Employee Benefits Expense

Accounting Policy Defined contribution plans

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefits plans

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Past service costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:

- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and

- Net interest expense or income

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

Current and other non-current employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. Liabilities recognised in respect of current employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other non-current employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

15. Finance Costs

Accounting Policy Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

16. Income taxes

(i) Current Tax

Accounting Policy

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised outside statement of profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

(ii) Deferred Tax

Accounting Policy

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

For operations carried out under tax holiday period (80IA benefits of Income Tax Act, 1961), deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, have been established for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised. The Company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

In the situations where one or more units of the Company are entitled to a tax holiday under the tax law, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of temporary differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the concerned unit’s gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of temporary differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the temporary differences originate. However, the Company restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the temporary differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Notes:

(a) During the year ended 31st March, 2018, the Company has approved/decided to dispose off certain investment/assets. Accordingly, after assessing the recoverability, the Company has recognized deferred tax asset on indexation benefit available and provision for diminution recognized during the year and in the earlier years on investments classified as held for sale amounting to Rs.338.02 crore in the statement of profit and loss and Rs.370.00 crore in Other Comprehensive Income.

(b) During the current year, the management has reassessed the recoverability of unrecognised MAT credit and accordingly recognised MAT credit amounting to Rs.517.51 crore as at 31st March, 2018 and also recognized regulatory liability on the said MAT credit which needs to be passed on to the consumers.

(c) Considering the uncertainty over the realisibility, the Company has not recognized deferred tax asset to the extent of Rs.289.53 crore on provision for diminution in value of investments classified as held for sale. Further, the Company has not recognized deferred tax assets on unused tax credit of Rs.125.92 crore as it is not expecting to utilise the same in near future based on the projections made by the Company.

(iii) Deferred Tax (Recoverable)/Payable

It represents deferred tax liabilities/(assets) required to be passed on to the consumers and it relates to :

(iv) The Company has undertaken to arrange for the necessary financial support to its subsidiaries Bhira Investments Limited, Khopoli Investments Limited, Bhivpuri Investments Limited, Industrial Power Utility Limited, Tata Power Jamshedpur Distribution Limited and Tata Power International Pte.

The Company has till date acquired 1,34,22,037 shares of TCL. The Company would be entitled to be allotted 4.70% of the share capital of the Resulting Company based on its holding of 1,33,96,200 shares of TCL. The Company has undertaken to PFL to bear the “Surplus Land” obligation pertaining to these shares.

d) (i) In respect of the Standby Charges dispute with Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. (R-Infra) for the period from 1st April, 1999 to 31st March, 2004, the Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (ATE), set aside the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) Order dated 31st May, 2004 and directed the Company to refund to R-Infra as on 31st March, 2004, Rs.354.00 crore (including interest of Rs.15.14 crore) and pay interest at 10% per annum thereafter. As at

1. Background:

The Tata Power Company Limited (the ‘Company’) is a public limited company domiciled and incorporated in India under the Indian Companies Act, 1913. The registered office of the Company is located at Bombay House, 24 Homi Mody Street, Mumbai 400001, India.

The Company pioneered the generation of electricity in India more than a century ago. Prior to 1st April, 2000 the Tata Electric Companies comprised of the following three Companies -

- The Tata Hydro-Electric Power Supply Company Limited, established in 1910 (Tata Hydro).

- The Andhra Valley Power Supply Company Limited, established in 1916 (Andhra Valley).

- The Tata Power Company Limited, established in 1919 (Tata Power).

With effect from 1st April, 2000, Andhra Valley and Tata Hydro merged into Tata Power to result in one large unified entity. The Company has an installed generation capacity of 2,954 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Fuel and Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission and Distribution.

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

The areas involving critical estimates are:

Estimation of current tax and deferred tax expense - Note 24 and 33

Estimated fair value of unquoted securities and impairement of investments - Note 34

Estimation of defined benefit obligation - Note 39

Regulatory deferral accounts - Note 18

Estimation of values of contingent liabilities - Note 37

Estimates and judgement are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3. Assets classified as held for sale

(i) (a) The Company had a power generation unit at Belgaum, Karnataka. Operations at the unit have been discontinued on 28th February, 2013 with conclusion of Power Purchase Agreement with the customers. The Company has disposed of majority of the assets located at the unit and is in the process of disposing of the Freehold land. During the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company has reclassified the said land as asset held for sale. No impairment loss has been recognised on reclassification as the Company expects that the fair value (estimated based on the recent market prices of similar properties in similar locations) less costs to sell is higher than the carrying amount of Rs.2.90 crore as at 31st March, 2017.

(b) The Company was in the process of setting up a thermal power generation unit in Jharkhand state and accordingly had acquired Freehold land at Tiruldih. Coal for the unit was planned to be sourced from Tubed coal block in Latehar district. However, in 2014, the H’onble Supreme Court de-allocated the said coal block. As a result, the project was left with no fuel supply and has become unviable. Hence, the Company has decided to dispose of the Freehold land at Tiruldih. During the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company has reclassified the said land as asset held for sale. Accordingly, the Freehold Land is being carried in the books at its fair value less cost to sell of Rs.9.72 crore (i.e. fair value estimated based on market price of similar properties near the location less costs to sell the land) resulting in the recognition of Rs.34 crore as impairment loss in the statement of profit and loss.

(c) The Company has ceased power generation at its Diesel (DG set) based unit at Vadaval, Maharashtra and has disposed of the DG sets. The Company is in the process of disposing freehold land. During the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company has reclassified the said freehold land at the the said unit as asset held for sale. No impairment loss has been recognised on reclassification as the Company expects that the fair value (estimated based on the recent market prices of similar properties in similar locations) less costs to sell is higher than the carrying amount Rs.3.21 crore as at 31st March, 2017.

(ii) The Company has ceased power generation at Unit 4 at Trombay, Maharashtra and has initiated process for disposal of its assets. During the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company has reclassified property, plant and equipment at the said unit as asset held for sale. No impairment loss has been recognised on reclassification as the Company expects that the estimated fair value less costs to sell is higher than the carrying amount of Rs.24.68 crore as at 31st March, 2017.

(iii) The Company has decided to divest certain portion of its investments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income in Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Limited and Indian Energy Exchange Limited. Hence, the said investments have been classified as held for sale at fair value of Rs.195.21 crore as at 31st March, 2017.

4. Other Equity

Nature and purpose of reserves General Reserve:

General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from Retained Earnings for appropriation purposes. As the general reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the General Reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to statement of profit and loss.

Securities Premium Reserve:

Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Debenture Redemption Reserve:

The Company is required to create a Debenture Redemption Reserve out of the profits which is available for payment of dividend for the purpose of redemption of debentures.

Capital Redemption Reserve:

Capital Redemption Reserve represents amounts set aside on redemption of preference shares.

Capital Reserve:

Capital Reserve consists of forfeiture of the amount received from Tata Sons Limited on preferential allotment of convertible warrants in the Company, on the lapse of the period to exercise right to convert the said warrants and on forfeiture of amounts paid on Debentures.

Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings are the profits of the company earned till date net of appropriations.

Equity Instrument through Other Comprehensive Income:

This reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses arising on revaluation of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, net of amounts reclassified to retained earnings when those assets are disposed of.

5. (a) Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has implemented the 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power Project at Mundra (“Mundra UMPP”). As at 31st March, 2017, the Company has a long-term investment of Rs.11,136.15 crore (31st March, 2016 -Rs.6,443.85 crore, 1st April, 2015 -Rs.6,047.90 crore) in equity (including perpetual security) of CGPL, has given loans of Rs.Nil (31st March, 2016 -Rs.3,795.89 crore, 1st April, 2015 -Rs.3,034.56 crore) to CGPL, and has given guarantees of Rs.2,781.69 crore (31st March, 2016 -Rs.3,039.24 crore, 1st April, 2015 -Rs.3,403.27 crore) to CGPL’s lenders.

The Management of CGPL, on an ongoing basis, reviews and assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its fixed assets based on certain externally available information and assumptions relating to future fuel prices, revenues and operating parameters and useful life of the plant, which the management believes reasonably reflect the future expectation. In view of the estimation uncertainties, the future cash flows, the assumptions are monitored periodically and adjustments are made if the conditions relating to the assumptions indicate that such adjustment is appropriate.

Based on the assessment of recoverability of the carrying value of fixed assets as at 31st March, 2017 and having regard to the overall returns expected from CGPL, no impairment as at 31st March, 2017 is considered necessary for long-term investments of Rs.11,136.15 crore in CGPL and no provision is required in respect of guarantees of Rs.2,781.69 crore given to CGPL’s lenders.

(b) The Company has investments in equity shares of Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Based on a valuation report obtained from TTSL, the Company had reassessed the fair value of its investment in TTSL as at 30th September, 2016 and recorded fair value loss of Rs.124.46 crore as at that date. In the absence of updated information, it has not been possible to revise the valuation as at 31st March, 2017 and consequently adjustments, if any, to the carrying value of investments in TTSL of Rs.384.88 crore as at 31st March, 2017 have not been made.

(c) During the year, DoCoMo had filed a petition before the Delhi High Court for implementation of the Arbitration Award related to its exercise of the ‘put option’ to the transfer of its entire shareholding in TTSL at a minimum predetermined price of Rs.58.045 per share pursuant to which the Delhi High Court directed Tata Sons (as representative of the Tata Group) to deposit the damages including costs and interest in an escrow account. Accordingly, the Company deposited Rs.790 crore with Tata Sons, being its share of the contractual obligation. On 28th April, 2017, the Delhi High Court ruled that the Arbitration Award is enforceable in India. Consequently, the Company has as at 31st March, 2017 written-off ‘other advances’ of Rs.651.45 crore, being the difference between the fair value of equity shares of TTSL determined as at 30th September, 2016 and the consideration payable to DoCoMo deposited with Tata Sons. This has been disclosed as an exceptional item. The balance of Rs.138.55 crore, which represents the fair value of shares receivable from DoCoMo based on a valuation as at 30th September, 2016, is being carried forward as Other Advance and included in Other Non-current Financial Asset. As stated in note 34(b) above, valuation of TTSL shares as at 31st March, 2017 is not available.

d) (i) In respect of the Standby Charges dispute with Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. (R-Infra) for the period from 1st April, 1999 to 31st March, 2004, the Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (ATE), set aside the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) Order dated 31st May, 2004 and directed the Company to refund to R-Infra as on 31st March, 2004, Rs.354.00 crore (including interest of Rs.15.14 crore) and pay interest at 10% per annum thereafter. As at 31st March, 2017 the accumulated interest was Rs.229.56 crore (31st March, 2016 -Rs.218.36 crore, 1st April, 2015 -Rs.207.16 crore) (Rs.11.20 crore for the year ended 31st March, 2017).

No provision has been made in the accounts towards interest that may be finally determined as payable to R-Infra. Since 1st April, 2004, the Company has accounted Standby Charges on the basis determined by the respective MERC Tariff Orders.

The Company is of the view, supported by legal opinion, that the ATE’s Order can be successfully challenged and hence, adjustments, if any, will be recorded by the Company on the final outcome of the matter.

(ii) MERC vide its Tariff Order dated 11th June, 2004, had directed the Company to treat the investment in its wind energy project as outside the Mumbai Licensed Area, consider a normative Debt Equity ratio of 70:30 to fund the Company’s fresh capital investments effective 1st April, 2003 and had also allowed a normative interest charge @ 10% p.a. on the said normative debt. The change to the Clear Profit and Reasonable Return (consequent to the change in the capital base) as a result of the above mentioned directives for the period upto 31st March, 2004, has been adjusted by MERC from the Statutory Reserves along with the disputed Standby Charges referred to in Note 37(d)(i) above. Consequently, the effect of these adjustments would be made with the adjustments pertaining to the Standby Charges dispute as mentioned in Note 37(d)(i) above.

e) The Company, in terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as stated in Note 36 (b)(ix), has undertaken additional “Surplus Land” obligation towards the purchase of 11,40,000 shares of Tata Communications Ltd. by Tata Sons Limited from Panatone Finvest Ltd.

The Company paid Rs.246.21 crore under protest. The Hon’ble Bombay High Court upheld the levy, in respect of an appeal filed by the Company. The Company filed a Special Leave Petition against the above Order before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, which extended the interim stay granted by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court and requested to list the matter after pleadings are completed. The Company is of the view, supported by legal opinions, that the Company has a strong case on merits. Accordingly, Rs.1,967.43 crore (including interest of Rs.643.99 crore and penalty of Rs.740.89 crore) will be accounted by the Company based on the final outcome of the matter [Refer Note No. 37 (a)(i)].

8. Other Disputes

The total amount payable by R-Infra, including interest, is estimated to be Rs.323.87 crore as on 31st December, 2007. ATE in its Order dated 12th May, 2008 on appeal by R-Infra, has directed R-Infra to pay the difference in the energy charges amounting to Rs.34.98 crore for the period March 2001 to May 2004. In respect of the minimum off-take charges of energy for the period 1998 to 2000 claimed by the Company from R-Infra, ATE has directed MERC that the issue be examined afresh and after the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the Appeals relating to the distribution licence and rebates given by R-Infra. The Company and R-Infra had filed appeals in the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide its Order dated 14th December, 2009, has granted stay against ATE Order and has directed R-Infra to deposit with the Hon’ble Supreme Court, a sum of Rs.25.00 crore and furnish bank guarantee of Rs.9.98 crore.

On grounds of prudence, the Company has not recognised any income arising in respect of these matters.

9. Employee benefit plan

1. Defined Contribution plan

The Company makes Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the provident fund set up as a trust by the Company. The Company is generally liable for annual contributions and any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return and recognises such contributions and shortfall, if any, as an expense in the year it is incurred. Having regard to the assets of the fund and the return on the investments, the Company does not expect any shortfall in the foreseeable future.

2. Defined benefit plans

2.1 The Company operates the following unfunded/funded defined benefit plans:

Unfunded:

Post-Employment Medical Benefits

The Company provides certain post-employment health care benefits to superannuated employees at some of its locations. In terms of the plan, the retired employees can avail free medical check-up and medicines at Company’s facilities.

Pension (including Director pension)

The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan for employees who have completed 15 years of continuous service. The plan provides benefits to members in the form of a pre-determined lump sum payment on retirement. Executive Director, on retirement, is entitled to pension payable for life including HRA benefit. The level of benefit is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

Ex-Gratia Death Benefit

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting ex-gratia in case of death during service. The benefit consists of a predetermined lump sum amount along with a sum determined based on the last drawn basic salary per month and the length of service.

Retirement Gift

The Company has a defined benefit plan granting a pre-determined sum as retirement gift on superannuation of an employee.

Funded: Gratuity

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at the retirement date. The gratuity plan is funded plan. The fund has the form of a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy in accordance with the regulations. The funds are deployed in recognised insurer managed funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimates of expected gratuity payments.

2.2 Risk exposure:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk, the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

10. In respect of the contracts pertaining to the Strategic Engineering Business and Project Management Services, disclosures required as per Ind AS 11 are as follows:

(a) Contract revenue recognised as revenue during the year Rs.506.13 crore (31st March, 2016 -Rs.549.88 crore).

1.2 Fair Value Hierarchy:

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This includes quoted equity instruments, government securities, traded debentures (borrowings) and mutual funds that have quoted price.

Level 2 Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This includes derivative financial instruments and investment in redeemable non-cumulative preference shares.

Level 3 Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This includes unquoted equity shares.

2. Financial risk management

In its ordinary operations, the Company’s activities expose it to the various types of risks, which are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it operates. The Company has a risk management policy which covers the foreign exchanges risks and other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the Board of Directors. The following is the summary of the main risks:

2.1 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates (currency risk) and interest rates (interest rate risk), will affect the company’s income or value of its holding of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

2.1.1 Foreign currency risk management

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its operations in international projects and purchase of coal from Indonesia and elsewhere and overseas borrowings. The results of the Company’s operations can be affected as the rupee appreciates/depreciates against these currencies. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.

2.1.2 Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk arises from the potential changes in interest rates that may have adverse effects on the Company in the reporting period or in future years.

Interest rate sensitivity:

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on exposure to interest rates for term loans and debentures at the end of the reporting period and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in case of term loans and debentures that have floating rates.

2.2 Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

CGPL has obligated to charge escalation on 45 percent of the cost of coal in terms of the 25 year Power Purchase Agreement relating to the Mundra UMPP. During the current year, considering that the coal prices, current and forecasts, have substantially reduced in comparison to the coal prices considered at the time the assets were impaired and also considering reduction in prices from March 2015, CGPL''s Management has reassessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the assets at Mundra, consequent to change in the estimates of future cash flows due to decline in forecast of coal prices.

1. Background:

The Company, pioneered the generation of electricity in India nine decades ago. Prior to 1st April, 2000 the Tata Electric Companies comprised of the following three Companies -

- The Tata Hydro-Electric Power Supply Company Limited, established in 1910 (Tata Hydro).

- The Andhra Valley Power Supply Company Limited, established in 1916 (Andhra Valley).

- The Tata Power Company Limited, established in 1919 (Tata Power).

With ef ect from 1st April, 2000, Andhra Valley and Tata Hydro merged into Tata Power to result in one large unif ed entity. The Company has an installed generation capacity of 3075 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Fuel and Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission and Distribution.

2. In an earlier year, the Company had commissioned its 120 MW Unit 4 thermal power unit at Jojobera, Jharkhand. Revenue in respect of this unit is recognised on the basis of a draft Power Purchase Agreement prepared jointly by the Company and its customer which is pending f nalisation.

3. The Company has been legally advised, that the Company is considered to be established with the object of providing infrastructural facilities and accordingly, Section 372A of the Companies Act, 1956 is not applicable to the Company.

4. (a) The Company has a long-term investment of Rs. 5,928.28 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 5,103.61 crore) (including advance towards equity) and has extended loans amounting to Rs. 1,413.46 crore (including interest accrued) (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 436.57 crore) to Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which has implemented the 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power Project at Mundra ("Mundra UMPP").

CGPL has obligated to charge escalation on 45 percent of the cost of coal in terms of the 25 year power purchase agreement relating to the Mundra UMPP. During the year, CGPL''s Management has re-assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the assets at Mundra as of 31st March, 2014 and concluded that no further provision for impairment is necessary (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 2,650 crore).

In estimating the future cash flows, Management has, based on externally available information, made certain assumptions relating to the future fuel prices, future revenues, operating parameters and the assets'' useful life which Management believes reasonably ref ects the future expectation of these items. In view of the estimation uncertainties, the assumptions will be monitored on a periodic basis and adjustments will be made if conditions relating to the assumptions indicate that such adjustments are appropriate.

The Company''s investments in Indonesian Coal Companies including Infrastructure Companies through its subsidiaries, were made to secure long-term coal supply. The Management believes that cash inflows (in the nature of prof t distribution and prof t from sale) from these investments from an economic perspective provide protection from the risk of price volatility on coal to be used in power generation in CGPL, to the extent not covered by price escalations. In order to provide protection to CGPL and to support its cash flows, the Management has committed to a future restructuring under which the Company will transfer at least 75 percent of its equity interests in the Indonesian Coal Companies including Infrastructure Companies to CGPL, subject to receipt of regulatory and other necessary approvals which are being pursued and will also evaluate other alternative options. A valuation of the equity interests in the Indonesian Coal Companies including Infrastructure Companies has been carried out on the basis of certain assumptions, including legal interpretation that there is reasonable certainty that the mining leases would be extended without signif cant cost.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, has entered into agreements on 30th January, 2014 for sale of shares in PT Arutmin Indonesia and its associated infrastructure and trading companies. As per the terms of the agreement, it is proposed to sell its stake in these companies, for a consideration of USD 510 million, subject to tax deductions and other closing adjustments. The completion of the sale transaction is conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, obtaining requisite consents and certain restructuring actions. The buyer will pay the seller interest on the purchase price from 26th November, 2013 (the ef ective date) till the completion date.

The proposed sale of shares in PT Arutmin Indonesia referred above is consistent with the above intent.

Having regard to the overall returns expected from the Company''s investment in CGPL, including the valuation of investments in the Indonesian Coal Companies including Infrastructure Companies and the proposed future restructuring, no provision for diminution in value of long-term investment in CGPL is considered necessary as at 31st March, 2014.

(b) The Company has an investment in Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) of Rs. 735.48 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 735.48 crore). Based on the accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2013, TTSL has accumulated losses which has completely eroded its net worth. In the opinion of the Management, having regard to the long-term nature of the business, there is no diminution other than temporary, in the value of the investment.

(c) The Company has an investment in Haldia Petrochemicals Limited (HPL) of Rs. 22.50 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 22.50 crore). Based on the accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2013, HPL has accumulated losses which have signif cantly eroded its net worth. In the opinion of the Management, having regard to the long-term nature of the business, there is no diminution other than temporary, in the value of the investment.

(d) (i) The Company has invested Rs. 39.30 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 39.30 crore) in and issued guarantees of Rs. 86.93 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 86.93 crore) on behalf of Mandakini Coal Company Limited ("Joint Venture") which had been allotted coal blocks by Government of India through Ministry of Coal.

The Company along with the other Joint Venture Partners has received notices from Ministry of Coal, seeking explanations for delay in development of the blocks and requesting for certain clarif cations as regards various clearances and execution of mining lease, on the basis of which a decision for de-allocation of coal blocks will be taken. The Company is of the view that considering the progress made in land acquisition and obtaining various clearances for development of the coal blocks, there is a case for withdrawal of the notices.

Considering the above, in the opinion of the Management, as at 31st March, 2014, there is no diminution, other than temporary, in the value of investment in the Joint Venture Entity.

(ii) The Company has invested Rs. 17.58 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 11.98 crore) (including advance towards equity) in and issued guarantees of Rs. 11.36 crore (31st March, 2013 - Rs. 11.36 crore) on behalf of Tubed Coal Mines Limited ("Joint Venture") which had been allotted coal blocks by Government of India through Ministry of Coal.

The Company along with the other Joint Venture Partners has received notices from Ministry of Coal, seeking explanations for delay in development of the blocks and requesting for certain clarif cations as regards various clearances and execution of mining lease, on the basis of which a decision for de-allocation of coal blocks will be taken. The Company has filed a writ petition in the High Court so as to restrain the Ministry of Coal from taking any adverse decision in relation to the notice received and also to restrain Ministry of Coal from taking any decision on de-allocation of the coal block. In view of the interim order of the High Court the decision for de-allocation of the Coal Block to the promoters have been kept on hold.

Considering the above, in the opinion of the Management, as at 31st March, 2014, there is no diminution, other than temporary, in the value of investment in the Joint Venture Entity.

1. Background:

The Company, pioneered the generation of electricity in India nine decades ago. Prior to 1st April, 2000 the Tata Electric Companies comprised of the following three Companies -

- The Tata Hydro-Electric Power Supply Company Limited, established in 1910 (Tata Hydro).

- The Andhra Valley Power Supply Company Limited, established in 1916 (Andhra Valley).

- The Tata Power Company Limited, established in 1919 (Tata Power).

With effect from 1st April, 2000, Andhra Valley and Tata Hydro merged into Tata Power to result in one large unified entity.

The Company has an installed generation capacity of 3075 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz.

Fuel and Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission and Distribution.

2.1. The Company has been providing depreciation on assets at rates and methodology relating to the electricity business in accordance with the Central Government notification under the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 (repealed).

Vide its notification dated 31st May, 2011, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has clarified that companies engaged in the generation and supply of electricity can provide for depreciation at rates and methodology notified by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC). The CERC, under the provisions of The Electricity Act, 2003, notified the rates and methodology effective 1st April, 2009, under the Terms and Conditions of Tariff Regulations, 2009. These rates would be applicable for purposes of tariff determination and accounting in terms of the provisions of National Tariff Policy notified by the Government of India.

Management had sought clarifications and guidance from the MCA on the applicability of the CERC rates as the Company has both regulated and non-regulated generating capacity.

The Company has, during the year ended 31st March, 2013, based on a legal opinion, provided for depreciation in respect of its electricity business following the rates and methodology notified by the CERC w.e.f. 1st April, 2009 and at the rates as per the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) for capacities covered under PPAs, if higher than those notified by CERC. Accordingly, depreciation of Rs. 219.80 crore for the years 2009-10 to 2011-12 has been written back during the year ended 31st March, 2013. Further the depreciation charge for the year ended 31st March, 2013 is lower by Rs. 48.02 crore. As a result, the current tax for the year ended 31st March, 2013, is higher by Rs. 53.58 crore and the deferred tax charge for the year ended 31st March, 2013 is higher by Rs. 204.28 crore.

2.2. (a) During the previous year, in line with the Notification dated 29th December, 2011 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the Company had selected the option given in paragraph 46A of the Accounting Standard-11 (AS-11) - "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates". Accordingly, the depreciated/amortised portion of net foreign exchange (gain)/loss on long-term foreign currency monetary items for the year ended 31st March, 2013 is Rs. 83.84 crore (31st March, 2012 -Rs.39.01 crore). The unamortised portion carried forward as at 31st March, 2013 is Rs. 253.86 crore (31st March, 2012 - Rs. 213.56 crore).

(b) During the previous year, the Company had changed its accounting policy pertaining to accounting for expenditure incurred on purchase/implemenation of application software which hitherto was being charged off in the year of accrual and is now being capitalised and amortised over the useful economic life or 5 years whichever is lower. This results in a more appropriate presentation. As a result of this change, the depreciation and amortisation for the previous year was lower by Rs. 10.07 crore and the profit before tax was higher by Rs. 10.07 crore.

3. In an earlier year, the Company had commissioned its 120 MW thermal power unit at Jojobera, Jharkhand. Revenue in respect of this unit is recognised on the basis of a draft Power Purchase Agreement prepared jointly by the Company and its customer which is pending finalisation.

4. The Company has been legally advised that the Company is considered to be established with the object of providing infrastructural facilities and accordingly, Section 372A of the Companies Act, 1956 is not applicable to the Company.

5. (a) The Company has a long-term investment of Rs. 5,103.61 crore (including advance towards equity) (31st March, 2012 - Rs. 4,112.08 crore) and has extended loans amounting to Rs. 436.57 crore (including interest accrued) (31st March, 2012 - 7248.88crore) to Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which has implemented the 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power Project at Mundra ("Mundra UMPP") and declared commercial operations for all its five Units of 800 MW each.

CGPL has obligated to charge escalation on 45 percent of the cost of coal in terms of the 25 year power purchase agreement relating to the Mundra UMPP. During the year, CGPL''s Management has re-assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the assets at Mundra as of 31st March, 2013 and concluded that the cash flows expected to be generated over the useful life of the asset of 40 years would not be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of such assets and has therefore recorded in CGPL''s books as at 31st March, 2013, a provision for an impairment loss of Rs. 2,650.00 crore (31st March, 2012 - Rs. 1,800.00 crore).

In estimating the future cash flows, Management has, based on externally available information, made certain assumptions relating to the future fuel prices, future revenues, operating parameters and the assets'' useful life which Management believes reasonably reflects the future expectation of these items. In view of the estimation uncertainties, the assumptions will be monitored on a periodic basis and adjustments will be made if conditions relating to the assumptions indicate that such adjustments are appropriate.

The Company''s investments in Indonesian coal companies through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bhira Investments Limited and Khopoli Investments Limited, were made to secure long-term coal supply. The Management believes that cash inflows (in the nature of profit distribution) from these investments from an economic perspective provide protection from the risk of price volatility on coal to be used in power generation in CGPL, to the extent not covered by price escalations. In order to provide protection to CGPL and to support its cash flows, the Management has committed to a future restructuring under which the Company will transfer at least 75 percent of its equity interests in the Indonesian Coal Companies to CGPL, subject to receipt of regulatory and other necessary approvals which are being pursued and will also evaluate other alternative options. A valuation of the equity interests in the Indonesian Coal Companies has been carried out on the basis of certain assumptions, including legal interpretation that there is reasonable certainty that the mining leases would be extended without significant cost.

Having regard to the overall returns expected from the Company''s investment in CGPL, including the valuation of investments in the Indonesian Coal Companies and the proposed future restructuring, no provision for diminution in value of long-term investment in CGPL is considered necessary as at 31st March, 2013.

(b) The Company has an investment in Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) of Rs. 735.48 crore (31stMarch,2012 -r735.48crore). Based on the accounts as certified by the TTSL Management for the period ended 31st December, 2012, TTSL has accumulated losses which have significantly eroded its net worth. In the opinion of the Management, having regard to the long-term nature of the business, there is no diminution other than temporary, in the value of the investment also considering the Hon''ble Supreme Court judgement cancelling the three (3) CDMA licenses pertaining to Jammu & Kashmir, Assam and North East Circles of TTSL.

(c) The Company has an investment in Haldia Petrochemicals Limited (HPL) of Rs. 22.50 crore (31stMarch, 2012 - f 22.50 crore). Based on the accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2012, HPL has accumulated losses which have significantly eroded its net worth. In the opinion of the Management, having regard to the long-term nature of the business, there is no diminution other than temporary, in the value of the investment.

(d) In respect of the Standby Charges dispute with Reliance Infrastructure Limited (R-Infra) for the period from 1st April, 1999 to 31st March, 2004, the Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (ATE), set aside the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) Order dated 31st May, 2004 and directed the Company to refund to R-Infra as on 31st March, 2004, Rs. 354.00 crore (including interest of Rs. 15.14 crore) and pay interest at 10% per annum thereafter. As at 31st March, 2013 the accumulated interest was Rs. 184.76 crore (31st March, 2012 - r 173.56 crore) (Rs. 11.20 crore for the year ended 31st March, 2013). On appeal, the Hon''ble Supreme Court vide its Interim Order dated 7th February, 2007, has stayed the ATE Order and in accordance with its directives, the Company has furnished a bank guarantee of the sum of Rs. 227.00 crore and also deposited Rs. 227.00 crore with the Registrar General of the Court which has been withdrawn by R-Infra on furnishing the required undertaking to the Court.

Further, no adjustment has been made for the reversal in terms of the ATE Order dated 20th December, 2006, of Standby Charges credited in previous years estimated at Rs. 519.00 crore, which will be adjusted, wholly by a withdrawal/set off from certain Statutory Reserves as allowed by MERC. No provision has been made in the accounts towards interest that may be finally determined as payable to R-Infra. Since 1st April, 2004, the Company has accounted Standby Charges on the basis determined by the respective MERC Tariff Orders.

The Company is of the view, supported by legal opinion, that the ATE''s Order can be successfully challenged and hence, adjustments, if any, including consequential adjustments to the Deferred Tax Liability Fund and the Deferred Tax Liability Account will be recorded by the Company on the final outcome of the matter.

(e) MERC vide its Tariff Order dated 11th June, 2004, had directed the Company to treat the investment in its wind energy project as outside the Mumbai Licensed Area, consider a normative Debt Equity ratio of 70:30 to fund the Company''s fresh capital investments effective 1st April, 2003 and had also allowed a normative interest charge @ 10% per annum on the said normative debt. The change to the Clear Profit and Reasonable Return (consequent to the change in the capital base) as a result of the above mentioned directives for the period upto 31st March, 2004, has been adjusted by MERC from the Statutory Reserves along with the disputed Standby Charges referred to in Note 32(d) above. Consequently, the effect of these adjustments would be made with the adjustments pertaining to the Standby Charges dispute as mentioned in Note 32(d) above.

(f) During the year 2008-09, in terms of the agreements entered into between Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL), Tata Sons Limited (TSL) and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. of Japan (Strategic Partner-SP), TSL gave an option to the Company to sell 2,72,82,177 equity shares in TTSL to the SP, as part of a secondary sale of 25,31,63,941 equity shares effected along with a primary issue of 84,38,79,801 shares by TTSL to the SP.

If certain performance parameters and other conditions are not met by TTSL by 31st March, 2014 and should the SP decide to divest its entire shareholding in TTSL and TSL is unable to find a buyer for such shares, the Company is obligated to acquire the shareholding of the SP, at the higher of fair value or 50 percent of the subscription purchase price in proportion of the number of shares sold by the Company to the aggregate of the secondary shares sold to the SP, subject to compliance with applicable exchange control regulations, or should the SP decide to divest its entire shareholding in TTSL and TSL is unable to find a buyer for such shares and the SP divests the shares at a lower price, subject to compliance with applicable exchange control regulations, the Company is obliged to pay a compensation representing the difference between such lower sale price and the price referred to above in proportion of the number of shares sold by the Company to the aggregate of the secondary shares sold to the SP.

Under the above mentioned aggrements with SP, TSL and TTSL have jointly and severally agreed to indemnify SP with the agreed limits against claims arising on account of any failure of certain warranties provided by TSL and TTSL to be true and correct in all respect (amount not determinable) and in respect of specifed contingent liabilities (Company''s share Rs. 31.10 crore). The Company is liable to reimburse TSL, on a pro-rata basis.

8. (a) In the previous year, the Company had provisionally determined the Statutory Appropriations and the adjustments to be made on Annual Performance Review as stipulated under the Multi Year Tariff Regulations, 2011 (MYT Regulation) for its operations in respect of the Mumbai Licensed Area. During the year ended 31st March, 2013, Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has approved the Multi Year Tariff Business Plan of the Company''s Mumbai Licensed Area for the Second Control Period from FY 2012-13 to FY 2015-16 and directed the Company to submit its Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) for FY 2011-12 as per old regulations i.e. MERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2005.

In view of the above, during the year, the Company has reversed revenue amounting to Rs. 155.00 crore accrued in the previous year in respect of its Mumbai Licensed Area as per the MYT Regulation.

(b) The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) in its Order dated 31st August, 2012, has allowed the Company''s claim regarding certain expenses/accounting principles which were disallowed/not recognised by MERC in earlier years in its true-up order. Accordingly, during the year, the Company has treated such expenses as recoverable and has recognised revenue of Rs. 142.00 crore.

(c) During the year, pursuant to the favourable ATE Order dated 31st August, 2012, true-up order dated 15th February, 2012 and other favourable orders received by other regulated entities in the power sector within Maharashtra, the Company has recognised revenue of Rs. 172.00 crore in respect of earlier years towards carrying cost entitlement on the regulatory assets (net) carried in the books as at 31st March, 2013.

(d) In the previous year, Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) had determined the Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) for Units 2 and 3 at Jojobera for financial year 2011-12 by treating the entire capacity as regulated under JSERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Generation Tariff) Regulations, 2010. The Company, on the basis of legal opinions obtained, had appealed against the disallowances/deviations at the ATE.

The ATE in its Order dated 20th September, 2012, has disallowed the Company''s claim. Accordingly, during the year, the Company has reversed revenue of Rs. 43.61 crore including Rs. 34.16 crore on account of previous year.

(e) During the previous year, the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) had completed truing-up for the financial years 2009 -10 and 2010 -11 and issued Tariff Orders. In these Tariff Orders, it had disallowed certain claims made by the Company amounting to Rs. 86.00 crore and Rs. 55.00 crore respectively. The Company has filed an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) against these disallowances. Based on the earlier favourable ATE Order on similar matters, the Company is confident of ATE allowing its claims and accordingly, the above disallowances have not been recognised in the financial results.

9. In the matter of claims raised by the Company on R-Infra, towards (i) the difference in the energy charges for the period March 2001 to May 2004 and (ii) for minimum off-take charges of energy for the period 1998 to 2000, MERC has issued an Order dated 12th December, 2007 in favour of the Company. The total amount payable by R-Infra, including interest, is estimated to be Rs. 323.87 crore as on 31st December, 2007. ATE in its Order dated 12th May, 2008 on appeal by R-Infra, has directed R-Infra to pay the difference in the energy charges amounting to Rs. 34.98 crore for the period March 2001 to May 2004. In respect of the minimum off-take charges of energy for the period 1998 to 2000 claimed by the Company from R-Infra, ATE has directed MERC that the issue be examined afresh and after the decision of the Hon''ble Supreme Court in the Appeals relating to the distribution licence and rebates given by R-Infra. The Company and R-Infra had filed appeals in the Hon''ble Supreme Court. The Hon''ble Supreme Court, vide its Order dated 14th December, 2009, has granted stay against ATE Order and has directed R-Infra to deposit with the Hon''ble Supreme Court, a sum of Rs. 25.00 crore and furnish bank guarantee of Rs. 9.98 crore. The Company had withdrawn the above mentioned sum subject to an undertaking to refund the amount with interest, in the event the Appeal is decided against the Company. On grounds of prudence, the Company has not recognised any income arising from the above matters.

10. Employee Benefits:

(a) The Company makes contribution towards provident fund and superannuation fund to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan for qualifying employees. The provident fund is administered by the Trustees of Tata Power Consolidated Provident Fund and the Superannuation Fund is administered by the Trustees of Tata Power Superannuation Fund.

The said deposit has been accounted as "Long term Security Deposits".

Further, no adjustment has been made for the reversal in terms of the ATE Order dated 20th December, 2006 of Standby Charges credited in previous year's estimated at Rs. 519.00 crore, which will be adjusted, wholly by a withdrawal/set off from certain Statutory Reserves as allowed by MERC.

The change to the Clear Profit and Reasonable Return (consequent to the change in the capital base) as a result of the above mentioned directives for the period upto 31st March, 2004, has been adjusted by MERC from the Statutory Reserves along with the disputed Standby Charges referred to in Note 32(f) above.

(TSL) and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. of Japan (Strategic Partner-SP), the Company was given by TSL an option to sell 2,72,82,177 equity shares in TTSL to the SP, as part of a secondary sale of 25,31,63,941 equity shares effected along with a primary issue of 84,38,79,801 shares by TTSL to the SP. Accordingly, in an earlier year the Company had realized Rs. 316.72 crore on sale of these shares resulting in a profit of Rs. 255.62 crore.

If certain performance parameters and other conditions are not met by TTSL by 31st March, 2014 and should the SP decide to divest its entire shareholding in TTSL, acquired under the primary issue and the secondary sale and should TSL be unable to find a buyer for such shares, the Company is obligated to acquire the shareholding of the SP, at the higher of fair value or 50 percent of the subscription purchase price, subject to compliance with applicable control regulations, in proportion of the number of shares sold by the Company to the aggregate of the secondary shares sold to the SP, or if the SP divests the shares at a lower price pay a compensation representing the difference between such lower sale price and the price referred to above.

Further, in the event of breach of the representations and warranties (other than title and tax) and covenants not capable of specific performance, the Company is liable to reimburse TSL, on a pro-rata basis, upto a maximum sum of Rs. 409.51 crore.

The exercise of the option by SP being contingent on several variables, the liability if any, is considered by Management to be remote and indeterminable.

(i) In accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Shareholder's Agreement entered into by Pantone Finevest Ltd. (PFL), an associate of the Company, with the Government of India, PFL has contractually undertaken a "Surplus Land" obligation including agreeing to transfer 45% of the share capital of the Resulting Company, at Nil consideration, to the Government of India and other selling shareholders upon Demerger of the Surplus Land by Tata Communication Limited (TCL).The Company has till date acquired 1,34,22,037 shares of TCL from PFL. The Company would be entitled to be allotted 4.71% of the share capital of the Resulting Company based on its holding of 1,34,22,037 shares of TCL. The Company has undertaken to PFL to bear the "Surplus Land" obligation pertaining to these shares.

(j) The Company has a long term investment of Rs. 4,112.08 crore (including advance towards equity) (31st March, 2011 - Rs. 3,172.50 crore) and has extended loans amounting to Rs. 248.88 crore (including interest accrued) (31st March, 2011 Rs. 221.06 crore) to Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which is implementing the 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power Project at Mundra ("Mundra UMPP").

CGPL has agreed to not charge escalation on 55 percent of the cost of coal in terms of the 25 year power purchase agreement relating to the Mundra UMPP. As a result of the changes in the fuel prices, CGPL's Management has assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the assets under construction at Mundra as of 31st March, 2012 of Rs. 16,366.50 crore and concluded that the cash flows expected to be generated (on completion of construction and commencement of commercial operations) over the useful life of the asset of 40 years would not be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of such assets and has therefore recorded in CGPL's books as at 31st March, 2012, a provision for an impairment loss of Rs. 1,800.00 crore.

In estimating the future cash flows. Management has, based on externally available information, made certain assumptions relating to the future fuel prices, future revenues, operating parameters and the asset's useful life which Management believes reasonably reflects the future expectation of these items. In view of the estimation uncertainties, the assumptions will be monitored on a periodic basis and adjustments will be made if external conditions relating to the assumptions indicate that such adjustments are appropriate.

The Company's investments in Indonesian coal companies through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bhira Investments Limited and Khopoli Investments Limited, were made to secure long term coal supply. The Management believes that cash inflows (in the nature of profit distribution) from these investments from an economic perspective provide protection from the risk of price volatility on coal to be used in power generation in CGPL, to the extent not covered by price escalations. In order to provide protection to CGPL and to support its cash flows, the Management has committed to a future restructuring under which the Company will transfer at least 75 percent of its equity interests in the Indonesian coal companies to CGPL, subject to receipt of regulatory and other necessary approvals which are being pursued and will also evaluate other alternative options.

Having regard to the overall returns expected from the Company's investment in CGPL, including the proposed future restructuring no provision for diminution in value of long term investment in CGPL is considered necessary as at 31st March, 2012.

(k) Uncalled liability on partly paid up shares Rs. 13.33 crore (31st March, 2011 – Rs. 31.03 crore).

8. (a) During the year, the Company has provisionally determined the Statutory Appropriations and the adjustments to be . made on Annual Performance Review as stipulated under the Multi Year Tariff Regulations, 2011 for its operations in respect of the Mumbai Licensed Area.

(b) During the year, Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) for financial year 2011-12 has determined the Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) for Units 2 and 3 at Jojobera by treating the entire capacity as regulated under JSERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Generation Tariff) Regulations, 2010. The Company, on the basis of legal opinions obtained, has appealed against the disallowances/deviations at the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE), pending disposal of which, a sum of Rs. 34.16 crore has been accrued as revenue for the year ended 31st March, 2012.

(c) During the year, the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has completed truing-up for the financial years 2009-10 and 2010-11 and has accordingly issued Tariff Orders. In these Tariff Orders, it has disallowed certain claims made by the Company amounting to Rs. 86.00 crore and Rs. 55.00 crore respectively. The Company intends to appeal to the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) against these disallowances.

2. During the previous year, the Company issued 3,000 1.75% Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB) with face value of U.S. $ 100,000 each aggregating to U.S. $ 300 million (Rs. 1,404.45 crores at issue, net proceeds received Rs. 1,391.67 crores). The bondholders have an option to convert these Bonds into Equity Shares, at an initial conversion price of Rs. 1,456.125 per share at a fixed rate of exchange on conversion of Rs. 46.81 = U.S. $ 1.00, at any time on and after 31st December, 2009, upto 11th November, 2014.

(e) In respect of NELCO Limited, the Company has undertaken to arrange for the necessary financial support to NELCO Limited in the form of interim short term funding for meeting its business requirements.

(f) In respect of the Standby Charges dispute with Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. (R-Infra - formerly Reliance Energy Ltd.) for the period from 1st April, 1999 to 31st March, 2004, the ATE, set aside the MERC Order dated 31st May, 2004 and directed the Company to refund to R-Infra as on 31st March, 2004, Rs. 354.00 crores (including interest of Rs. 15.14 crores) and pay interest at 10% per annum thereafter. As at 31st March, 2011 the accumulated interest was Rs. 162.36 crores (31st March, 2010 - Rs. 151.16 crores) (Rs. 11.20 crores for the year ended 31st March, 2011). On appeal, the Hon'ble Supreme Court vide its interim order dated 7th February, 2007, has stayed the ATE Order and in accordance with its directives, the Company has furnished a bank guarantee of the sum of Rs. 227.00 crores and also deposited Rs. 227.00 crores with the Registrar General of the Court which has been withdrawn by R-Infra on furnishing the required undertaking to the Court. The said deposit has been accounted as "Other Deposits".

Further, no adjustment has been made for the reversal in terms of the ATE Order dated 20th December, 2006 of Standby Charges credited in previous years estimated at Rs. 519.00 crores. The aggregate of Standby Charges credited in previous years, net of tax is estimated at Rs. 415.56 crores, which will be adjusted, wholly by a withdrawal/set off from certain Statutory Reserves as allowed by MERC. No provision has been made in the accounts towards interest that may be finally determined as payable to R-Infra. Since 1st April, 2004, the Company has accounted Standby Charges on the basis determined by the respective MERC Tariff Orders.

The Company is of the view, supported by legal opinion, that the ATE's Order can be successfully challenged and hence, adjustments, if any, including consequential adjustments to the Deferred Tax Liability Fund and the Deferred Tax Liability Account will be recorded by the Company on the final outcome of the matter.

(g) MERC vide its Tariff Order dated 11th June, 2004, had directed the Company to treat the investment in its Wind energy project as outside the Mumbai Licensed Area, consider a normative Debt Equity ratio of 70:30 to fund the Company's fresh capital investments effective 1st April, 2003 and had also allowed a normative interest charge @ 10% p.a. on the said normative debt. The change to the Clear Profit and Reasonable Return (consequent to the change in the Capital Base) as a result of the above mentioned directives for the period upto 31st March, 2004, has been adjusted by MERC from the Statutory Reserves along with the disputed Standby Charges referred to in Note 10(f) above. Consequently, the effect of these adjustments would be made with the adjustments pertaining to the Standby Charges dispute as mentioned in Note 10(f) above.

(h) In an earlier year, in terms of the agreements entered into between Tata Teleservices Ltd. (TTSL), Tata Sons Ltd. (TSL) and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. of Japan (Strategic Partner-SP), the Company was given by Tata Sons an option to sell 2,72,82,177 equity shares in TTSL to the S P, as part of a secondary sale of 25,31,63,941 equity shares effected along with a primary issue of 84,38,79,801 shares by TTSL to the S P. Accordingly, the Company realised Rs. 316.72 crores on sale of these shares resulting in a profit of Rs. 255.62 crores.

If certain performance parameters and other conditions are not met, should the SP decide to divest its entire shareholding in TTSL, acquired under the primary issue and the secondary sale and should TSL be unable to find a buyer for such shares, the Company is obligated to acquire the shareholding of the S P, at the higher of fair value or 50 percent of the subscription purchase price, in proportion of the number of shares sold by the Company to the aggregate of the secondary shares sold to the S P, or if the SP divests the shares at a lower price pay a compensation representing the difference between such lower sale price and the price referred to above.

Further, in the event of breach of the representations and warranties (other than title and tax) and covenants not capable of specific performance, the Company is liable to reimburse TSL, on a pro-rata basis, upto a maximum sum of Rs. 409.51 crores.

The exercise of the option by SP being contingent on several variables, the liability if any, is considered by management to be remote and indeterminable.

(i) In accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Shareholder's Agreement entered into by Panatone Finvest Ltd. (Panatone), an associate of the Company, with the Government of India, Panatone has contractually undertaken a "Surplus Land" obligation including agreeing to transfer 45% of the share capital of the Resulting Company, at Nil consideration, to the Government of India and other selling shareholders upon Demerger of the Surplus Land by Tata Communications Limited (TCL). The Company has till date acquired 1,34,22,037 shares of TCL from Panatone. The Company would be entitled to be allotted 4.71% of the share capital of the Resulting Company based on its holding of 1,34,22,037 shares of TCL. The Company has undertaken to Panatone to bear the "Surplus Land" obligation pertaining to these shares.

(j) The Company has a long term investment of Rs. 3,172.50 crores (including advance towards equity) and has extended loans amounting to Rs. 221.06 crores (including interest accrued) to Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which is implementing the 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power Project at Mundra ("Mundra UMPP").

Management is of the view that at the end of the reporting period there are estimation uncertainties in assessing the recoverability of carrying amounts of asset under construction that could result in a material adjustment to the Company's long term investment in CGPL.

CGPL has agreed to charging no escalation on 55 percent of the cost of coal in terms of the 25 year power purchase agreement relating to the Mundra UMPP. During the year, as a result of the changes in the fuel prices, management has assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the asset under construction at Mundra as of 31st March, 2011 of Rs. 12,842.95 crores and concluded that the cash flows expected to be generated (on completion of construction and commencement of commercial operations) over the useful life of the asset of 40 years would be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of such asset. In estimating the future cash flows, management has based on externally available information, made certain assumptions relating to the future fuel prices, future revenues, operating parameters and the asset's useful life which management believes reasonably reflects the future expectation of these items.

Having regard to the above, in the opinion of the management of the Company, no provision is considered necessary on this account as at 31st March, 2011.

However, if these assumptions change consequent to change in future conditions, there could be an adverse effect on the recoverable amount of the underlying asset.

The assumptions will be monitored on periodic basis by the management and adjustments will be made if external conditions relating to the assumptions indicate that such adjustments are appropriate.

11. (a) In the previous year, in respect of the Company's Generation Business as a Licensee, MERC in its Tariff Order dated 28th May, 2009, had drawn from Contingencies Reserve to partially meet the impact on tariff of the ATE Order dated 12th May, 2008, wherein ATE upheld the stand taken by the Company regarding allowability of expenses/accounting principles which were earlier disallowed/not recognised by MERC in its truing-up for financial years 2004-05 and 2005-06. Accordingly, the Company had drawn Rs. 108.83 crores from Contingencies Reserve. Further, the Company had recognised revenue of Rs. 105.40 crores and transferred Rs. 24.89 crores from Tariffs and Dividends Control Reserve consequent to the above Order and the Orders pertaining to the Transmission and Distribution Businesses dated 28th May, 2009 and 15th June, 2009 respectively.

(b) In the previous year, ATE in its Order dated 15th July, 2009, had upheld the Company's claim regarding allowability of certain expenses/accounting principles which were earlier disallowed/not recognised by MERC in its truing-up for the financial year 2006-07. On this basis, during the period ended 31st December, 2009, the Company had treated such expenses as recoverable through tariff and had recognised revenue of Rs. 147.00 crores in respect of the financial years 2006-07 to 2008-09.

(c) During the year ended 31st March, 2011, MERC had completed truing-up for the financial year 2008-09 and has accordingly issued Tariff Orders. In these Tariff Orders, it has disallowed certain reasonable claims made by the Company amounting to Rs. 74.00 crores. Further, while giving effect to the favourable ATE Order dated 15th July, 2009, pertaining to the financial years 2006-07 to 2007-08, MERC has disallowed certain items amounting to Rs. 47.00 crores. Consequently, the Company has appealed to the ATE against these disallowances. Based on the earlier favourable ATE Order on similar matters, the Company is confident of ATE allowing its claims and accordingly, the above disallowances have not been recognised in the financial statements.

(d) During the year ATE in its order dated 15th February, 2011, has upheld amongst others the Company claim towards entitlement of carrying cost in respect of truing-up done by MERC for financial years 2004-05 and 2005-06. Accordingly the Company has booked an amount of Rs. 86.00 crores as its entitlement of carrying cost during the current year.

In respect of the minimum off-take charges of energy for the period 1998 to 2000 claimed by the Company from R-Infra, ATE has directed MERC that the issue be examined afresh and after the decision of the Supreme Court in the Appeals relating to the distribution licence and rebates given by R-Infra. The Company and R-Infra had filed appeals in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, vide its Order dated 14th December, 2009, has granted stay against ATE Order and has directed R-Infra to deposit with the Supreme Court, a sum of Rs. 25.00 crores and furnish Bank Guarantee of Rs. 9.98 crores. The Company had withdrawn the above mentioned sum subject to an undertaking to refund the amount with interest, in the event the Appeal is decided against the Company. On grounds of prudence, the Company has not recognised any income arising from the above matters.

1. (a) In an earlier year, the Company issued 200,000 1% Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB) with face value of U.S.$ 1,000 each aggregating to U.S. $ 200 million (Rs.878.80 crores at issue). The bond holders had an option to convert these Bonds into shares, at an initial conversion price of Rs. 590.85 per share at a fixed rate of exchange on conversion of Rs. 43.38 = U.S. $ 1.00, at any time on or after 6th April, 2005, upto 15th February, 2010. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The FCCB may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time on or after 24th February, 2008 and prior to 15th February, 2010 subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Unless previously converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the FCCB fall due for redemption on 25th February, 2010 at 115.734 percent of their principal amount. Accordingly, the Company has redeemed the balance non-converted Bonds at a premium as per the terms of the issue during the year.

(b) During the year, in respect of the above Bonds, bond holders holding 14,229 bonds (31st March, 2009 ~ 9,865 bonds) have opted for conversion of the same into equity shares and accordingly 10,44,683 shares [includes 5,84,713 shares (31st March, 2009-6,87,572shares) on which dividend of Rs.0.67 crore (31stMarch,2009-Rs.0.72 crore) has been paid during the year] (31st March, 2009-7,24,281 shares) of Rs. 10 each have been issued at a premium as per terms of issue. Consequently there is an increase in the Subscribed Share Capital by Rs.1.04 crores (31st March, 2009-Rs.0.72 crore) and Securities Premium by Rs. 67.90 crores (31st March, 2009 - Rs.41.39 crores). Further, provision made for premium on redemption of FCCB by debiting Securities Premium in an earlier year has been reversed to the extent it pertains to the converted FCCB. As a result, balance in Securities Premium Account has increased by Rs. 9.85 crores (31st March, 2009 - Rs. 6.83 crores). Hence, the total increase in Securities Premium Account amounted to Rs. 77.75 crores (31st March, 2009 - Rs. 48.22 crores).

(c) During the year ended 31 st March, 2010, the Company issued 3,000 1.75% Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB) with face value of U.S. $ 100,000 each aggregating to U.S.$ 300 million (Rs. 1,404.45 crores at issue, net proceeds received Rs. 1,391.67 crores). The bond holders have an option to convert these Bonds into Equity Shares, at an initial conversion price of Rs. 1,456.125 per share at a fixed rate of exchange on conversion of Rs. 46.81 = U.S. $ 1.00,at any time on and after 31 st December, 2009, upto 11th November, 2014.The conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.The FCCB may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time on or after 20th November, 2011 subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Unless previously converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the FCCB fall due for redemption on 21 st November, 2014 at 109.47 percent of their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest.

The unutilised portion of FCCB amounting to U.S. $ 247.75 million has been invested in short term deposits with Bank.

2. During the year ended 31st March, 2010, the Company issued equity shares in the form of Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for a gross amount of U.S. $ 335 million. Each GDR represents 1 equity share of the Company, at a nominal value of Rs.10 per equity share.The Company has issued 1,48,38,110 GDRs which have, been priced at U.S. $ 22.577 per GDR (Rs. 48.27 being the reference exchange rate) as per relevant pricing guidelines for issue of GDRs. Consequently, there is an increase in the Subscribed Share Capital by Rs.14.84 crores and Securities Premium Account by Rs. 1,616.22 crores (net of issue expenses).

3. In respect of previous year, Contingencies Reserve Investments and Deferred Taxation Liability Fund Investments hitherto included the cost of 6.75% Unit Trust of India-Tax Free US Bonds 2008 received on conversion of units in Scheme US-64, which bonds were redeemed during the previous year.

(e) In respect of Nelco Limited, whose net worth has been substantially eroded, the Company has undertaken to arrange for the necessary financial support to Nelco Limited in the form of interim short-term funding for meeting its business requirements.

(f) In respect of the Standby Charges dispute with Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. (R-lnfra - formerly Reliance Energy Ltd.) for the period from 1 st April, 1999 to 31 st March, 2004, the ATE, set aside the MERC Order dated 31 st May, 2004 and directed the Company to refund to R-lnfra as on 31 st March, 2004, Rs. 354.00 crores (including interest of Rs.15.14 crores) and pay interest at 10% per annum thereafter. As at 31st March, 2010 the accumulated interest was Rs. 151.16 crores (31st March, 2009 - Rs. 139.96 crores) (Rs.11.20 crores for the year ended 31 st March, 2010).On appeal, the Honble Supreme Court vide its interim order dated 7th February, 2007, has stayed the ATE Order and in accordance with its directives, the Company has furnished a bank guarantee of the sum of Rs. 227.00 crores and also deposited Rs.227.00 crores with the Registrar General of the Court (the Court) which has been withdrawn by R-lnfra on furnishing the required undertaking to the Court.The said deposit has been accounted as "Other Deposits"

Further, no adjustment has been made for the reversal in terms of the ATE Order dated 20th December, 2006 of Standby Charges credited in previous years estimated at Rs. 519.00 crores.The aggregate of Standby Charges credited in previous years, net of tax is estimated at Rs. 430.80 crores, which will be adjusted, wholly by a withdrawal/set-off from certain Statutory Reserves as allowed by MERC. No provision has been made in the accounts towards interest that may be finally determined as payable to R-lnfra. However, since 1st April, 2004,the Company has accounted Standby Charges on the basis determined by the respective MERC Tariff Orders.

The Company is of the view, supported by legal opinion, that the ATEs Order can be successfully challenged and hence, adjustments, if any, including consequential adjustments to the Deferred Tax Liability Fund and the Deferred Tax Liability Account will be recorded by the Company on the final outcome of the matter.

(g) MERC vide its Tariff Order dated 11 th June, 2004, had directed the Company to treat the investment in its Wind energy project as outside the Mumbai Licensed Area, consider a normative Debt Equity ratio of 70:30 to fund the Companys fresh capital investments effective 1 st April, 2003 and had also allowed a normative interest charge @ 10% p.a. on the said normative debt.

The change to the Clear Profit and Reasonable Return (consequent to the change in the Capital Base) as a result of the above mentioned directives for the period upto 31 st March, 2004, has been adjusted by MERC from the StatutoryReserves along with the disputed Standby Charges referred to in Note 10(f) above. Consequently, the effect of these adjustments would be made with the adjustments pertaining to the Standby charges dispute as mentioned in Note 10 (f) above.

(h) During the previous year, in terms of the agreements entered into between Tata Teleservices Ltd.(TTSL),Tata Sons Ltd.(TSL) and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. of Japan (Strategic Partner-SP), the Company was given by Tata Sons an option to sell 2,72,82,177 Equity Shares in TTSL to the SP, as part of a secondary sale of 25,31,63,941 Equity Shares effected along with a primary issue of 84,38,79,801 shares by TTSL to the SP. Accordingly, the company realised Rs. 316.72 crores on sale of these shares resulting in a profit of Rs. 255.62 crores.

If certain performance parameters and other conditions are not met, should the SP decide to divest its entire shareholding in TTSL, acquired under the primary issue and the secondary sale and should TSL be unable to find a buyer for such shares, the Company is obligated to acquire the shareholding of the SP,at the higher of fair value or 50 percent of the subscription purchase price, in proportion of the number of shares sold by the Company to the aggregate of the secondary shares sold to the SP, or if the SP divests the shares at a lower price pay a compensation representing the difference between such lower sale price and the price referred to above.

Further, in the event of breach of the representations and warranties (other than title and tax) and covenants not capable of specific performance, the Company is liable to reimburse TSL, on a pro rata basis, upto a maximum sum of Rs. 409.51 crores.

The exercise of the option by SP being contingent on several variables, the liability if any, is considered by management to be remote and indeterminable.

(i) The Company has investments in 1,09,80,837 shares of Tata Communications Ltd.(TCL) which were acquired from Panatone Finvest Ltd. (Panatone) in current and prior years. In accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) and the Shareholders agreement between Panatone and Government of India (GOI)/Principle Owners of TCL, Panatone has agreed to cause TCL to hive off or demerge certain land it owns into a separate company (the "Resultant Company") pursuant to a scheme of arrangement as further described in the SPA.The proportionate shares received in the Resultant Company are to be transferred to GOI at Nil consideration. Consequently, Panatone would require the Company to give up proportionate shares received in the Resultant Company to enable it meet its obligation.

9. (a) ATE in its Order dated 15th July, 2009, has upheld the Companys claim regarding allowability of certain expenses/ accounting principles which were earlier disallowed/not recognised by MERC in its truing-up for the financial year 2006-07. On this basis, in the current period, the Company has treated such expenses as recoverable through tariff of the current year and has recognized revenue of Rs. 147.00 crores in respect of the financial years 2006-07 to 2008-09.

(b) In respect of the Companys Generation Business as a Licensee, MERC in its Tariff Order dated 28th May, 2009,has drawn from Contingencies Reserve to partially meet the impact on tariff of the ATE Order dated 12th May, 2008, wherein ATE upheld the stand taken by the Company regarding allowability of expenses/accounting principles which were earlier disallowed/not recognised by MERC in its truing-up for financial years 2004-05 and 2005-06. Accordingly, the Company has drawn Rs. 108.83 crores from Contingencies Reserve. Further, the Company has recognised revenue of Rs.105.40 crores and transferred Rs. 24.89 crores from Tariffs and Dividends Control Reserve consequent to the above Order and the Orders pertaining to the Transmission and Distribution Businesses dated 28th May, 2009 and 15th June, 2009 respectively.

The total amount payable by R-lnfra including interest is estimated to be Rs. 323.87 crores as on 31st December, 2007. ATE in its order dated 12th May, 2008 on appeal by R-lnfra, has directed R-lnfra to pay for the difference in the energy charges amounting to Rs.34.98 crores for the period March 2001 to May 2004. In respect of the minimum off-take charges of energy for the period 1998 to 2000 claimed by the Company from R-lnfra, ATE has directed MERC that the issue be examined afresh and after the decision of the Supreme Court in the Appeals relating to the distribution licence and Rebates given by R-lnfra.The Company and R-lnfra have filed appeals in the Supreme Court.The Supreme Court, vide its Order dated 14th December, 2009, has granted stay against ATE order and has directed R-lnfra to deposit with the Supreme Court, a sum of Rs.25.00crores and furnish Bank Guarantee of Rs.9.98 crores.The Company has withdrawn the above mentioned sum subject to an undertaking to refund the amount with interest, in the event the Appeal is decided against the Company. On grounds of prudence, the Company has not recognised any income arising from the above matters.
