FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in the Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute forwardlooking statements. Investors can generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as aim,
anticipate, believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, objective, plan, potential,
project, pursue, shall, seek, should, will, would, or other words or phrases of similar import.
Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements.
All statements regarding our expected financial conditions, results of operations, business plans and prospects
are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements as to our business
strategy, revenue and profitability, new business and other matters discussed in the Prospectus that are not
historical facts. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking
statement. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include,
among others:
Our expansion and diversification plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which may
result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
Power projects generally have long gestation periods, and subject us to various operational risks, which
may result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
We have significant fuel requirements and may not be able to ensure availability of adequate fuel at
competitive prices. Also, we may not be able to ensure availability of sufficient amounts of coal of the
grade, quality and specifications that we require in order to operate our coal-based power stations, at
commercially reasonable prices.
The power sector in India is highly regulated. For instance, tariff regulations issued by the Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and prospects. Moreover, other regulatory matters and changes in applicable law and policy may
adversely affect us.
Our power purchase agreements (PPAs) may expose us to certain risks that may affect our business,
financial condition and prospects. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to sell power
outside the long term PPAs and this could have an adverse impact on our revenues.
State utilities account for a significant portion of our sales of electricity generated from our directly
owned power stations, and any change that adversely affects our ability to recover dues from them may
adversely affect our financial position.
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings that may be determined against us. Further,
opposition from local communities may adversely affect our business.
We have incurred significant indebtedness and may incur substantial additional borrowings in
connection with our business.
Failure to obtain or renew necessary regulatory approvals may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and prospects.
We are subject to various environmental, occupational, health and safety and other laws, which may
subject us to increased compliance costs that may have an adverse effect on our business, financial
Our business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to take
advantage of certain tax benefits or if there are adverse changes to the tax regime in the future.
This Prospectus includes certain unaudited standalone financial information, which has been subjected
to limited review, in relation to our Company. Reliance on such information should, accordingly, be
limited.
Our Joint Statutory Auditors have included certain notes and matters of emphasis in their reports
included in this Prospectus, which should be considered carefully by prospective investors in the Issue.
We have significant contingent liabilities, which may result in an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and prospects, to the extent that any such liabilities materialize.
Inability to attract and retain, or appropriately replace, our key personnel and sufficient skilled workers
may adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
Other factors discussed in the Prospectus, including under Risk Factors on page 13.
Additional factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially include, but
are not limited to, those discussed under Business and Material Developments on pages 64 and 130,
respectively. Although our Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable as of the date of this Prospectus, our Company cannot assure investors that such expectations will
11
prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. If any of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or if any of our underlying
assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results of operations or financial condition could differ materially
from that described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. All subsequent forward-looking
statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these cautionary statements.
12
SECTION II - RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all the information in the Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties
described below, and under Business on page 64 and Annexure A - Financial Information on page 196,
before making an investment in the Bonds. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we
currently believe to be immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
prospects. If any of the following or any other risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and
prospects may be adversely affected and the price and value of your investment in the Bonds could decline such
that you may lose all or part of your investment.
The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in
the risk factors mentioned below. However, there are certain risk factors where the effect is not quantifiable and
hence has not been disclosed in such risk factors. The numbering of risk factors has been done to facilitate ease
of reading and reference, and does not in any manner indicate the importance of one risk factor over another.
You should not invest in the Issue unless you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all or part of your
investment, and you should consult your own tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular
consequences of an investment in the Bonds.
Unless otherwise stated, our financial information used in this section is derived from our consolidated
reformatted financial information for fiscal 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 prepared in accordance with
accounting standards generally accepted in India, and our unaudited standalone financial information for June
30, 2015.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
1.
Our expansion and diversification plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which may
Our growth strategy and expansion plans subject us to a number of considerations, including the
following:
Our ability to finance capital expenditure for expansion, including the management of new
equipment and projects and the maintenance and upgradation of existing equipment and projects, is
subject to a number of risks, contingencies and other factors, including interest rates, availability of
loans and cost of borrowing.
Our ability to procure fuel at prices and terms acceptable to us. In particular, estimates of coal
reserves are subject to assumptions and, if the actual amounts of such reserves are less than estimated
or if the quality of the coal reserves is lower than estimated or we are unable to commence planned
captive coal mining activities for any other reason including de-allocation of mines by authorities, we
may not be able to implement our expansion plans.
Our ability to obtain licenses under the Electricity Act, 2003, including transmission licenses,
distribution licenses and electricity trading licenses.
Our ability to obtain licenses/consents/approvals under environmental laws (including mining laws)
and labour, health and safety laws.
Actual increases in demand for power as well as other services and products offered by us, such as
our consultancy and other allied businesses, may not meet anticipated demand based on which we
have planned our operations and growth for any given periods, or the success or sustainability of any
of our growth plans may be adversely affected by other industry trends that we have been unable to
correctly anticipate.
Our ability to sell power is dependent upon the financial position of the various SEBs/Distribution
companies of the states who may not purchase power which is costly in merit order or otherwise.
There may be potential adverse short-term effects on operating results through increased costs or
otherwise, such as change in regulatory norms etc.
We may experience economic, political and social uncertainty or volatility in the diverse regions in
which we currently operate or in which we plan to set up operation.
We may face challenges associated with recruitment and retention of adequate skilled personnel as
well as possible diversion of management time and focus and managing the realignment of our
management and administrative resources.
We may not be selected for projects that we may bid for in the future, including as a result of other
13
entities being able to make a more competitive bid.

We may face increasing competition going forward, including from private sector players, in our
current as well as proposed business activities.
Our plans may further be affected by litigations, adverse judicial rulings, change of law etc.
We also expect that the execution of our growth strategy and new power projects will place significant
strains on our management, financial and other resources. Continued expansion increases the challenges
involved in financial and technical management, recruitment, training and retaining sufficient skilled
technical and management personnel, and developing and improving our internal administrative
infrastructure. If we are unable to successfully implement our business plan and growth strategy, we may
also be unable to meet the annual performance targets set by the Government pursuant to the annual
Memorandum of Understanding which we enter into with the Government. Any of these factors may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
In particular, as we seek to diversify our operations, including by way of forward and backward
integration in the power sector and by way of diversifying our fuel mix, we may be subject to a number
of additional risks. Any new business that we may enter into, may subject to a legal, regulatory, policy
and business environment that we are not currently familiar with, or may pose significant challenges to
our administrative, financial and operational resources. The early stages and long gestation periods of
new businesses may make it difficult to predict their economic viability. Therefore, there is no assurance
as to the timing and amount of any returns or benefits that we may receive from new business initiatives
or new fuel sources that we are currently exploring or developing.
2.
Power projects generally have long gestation periods and subject us to various operational risks,
which may result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
Power projects generally have long gestation periods, which may entail a significant period of time
before the economic viability of a given project can be established and there may be substantial capital
outflow before we are able to realize expected benefits or returns on our investment. Moreover, the
construction, development or operation of our power projects, coal mines or other facilities may be
disrupted or affected by various factors that may be beyond our control, including the following:
Our ability to acquire land depends on its ownership status, the classification of land use and the
willingness of owners to sell or lease their land. Acquisition of land may involve a number of
difficulties relating to rehabilitation and resettlement and provision of adequate compensation to
project affected people, while diversion of forest land would be subject to Government clearance.
We depend on independent contractors for construction, installation, delivery and commissioning, as
well as the supply and testing of key plant equipments and other non-core aspects of our business.
We may only have limited control over the timing and quality of services, equipment or supplies
provided by contractors as well as suppliers and vendors, and any failure or delay in performance by
any such persons or entities could result in time and cost overruns for us.
We may experience geological difficulties during the execution of construction projects, especially
during the development of hydroelectric, oil and gas and coal mining projects. For example, during
the execution of our construction projects, we may discover adverse rock strata or terrain, or trapped
gases or trapped water and our plant designs may be unsuitable for dealing with such geology. These
geological factors may result in costs and time overruns or cause us to determine that a planned
project or expansion is no longer economically feasible.
Mechanical failure and equipment shutdowns, explosions, fires, natural disasters such as cyclones
and earthquakes, breakdown, failure or substandard performance of equipment, improper installation
or operation of equipment, accidents, transmission or transportation interruptions, environmental
disasters, significant social or political disruptions including terrorism and labour disputes or
industrial action may significantly affect our operations.
Non-availability of fuel of desired quantity and quality may significantly disrupt our operations or
reduce our profitability.
If such operational difficulties occur, our ability to supply electricity to our customers or source fuel
(coal, oil and gas) may be adversely affected. In the event any facility is significantly damaged or
forced to shut down for a significant period of time, our business, financial condition and prospects
may be adversely affected.
14
In particular, many of our power stations are ageing and may subject us to additional risks to the extent
that we may be required to undertake renovation and modernization schemes involving significant
capital expenditure.
3.
We have significant fuel requirements and may not be able to ensure availability of adequate fuel at
competitive prices. Also, we may not be able to ensure availability of sufficient amounts of coal of the
grade, quality and specifications that we require in order to operate our coal-based power stations, at
commercially reasonable prices.
Availability of fuels at competitive prices is critical to our business. Fuel costs represent our largest
expense. Although we purchase a significant part of our fuel requirements, particularly coal and gas,
under long-term fuel supply agreements, there is no assurance that our suppliers will be able to satisfy
their contractual commitments, particularly in relation to the grade and quality of coal that we may
require for our operations, or that alternative sources of supply will be available to us on reasonable
terms. In the event our contracted sources of fuel supply or other domestic sources of fuel supply (for
instance, through short term purchase agreements or orders placed by us on the spot market) fall short for
any reason including uncertainty in the domestic market regarding coal blocks allocation, or the grade,
quality and specifications of fuel available for supply to us does not match our specifications and
requirements, we may be required to explore alternative sources of fuel supply, including for import of
fuels such as coal from other countries at prices that may be significantly higher than the prices at which
we have historically sourced fuel for our power stations in the past.
Further, domestic coal and gas allocations and gas prices are currently determined by Government policy,
while coal prices are contractually set, which limits our financial and operational flexibility to an extent.
In the event that coal and gas supplies or gas prices in India were to be deregulated, there is no assurance
that we will be able to obtain adequate supplies of coal and gas at competitive prices. Moreover, the
availability and cost of fuels, including coal and gas, are subject to volatility in world commodity
markets, the level of investment in exploitation of mine reserves in India and elsewhere, the quality and
grade of coal and gas available in India and elsewhere, and other factors that may be beyond our control.
Any constraints on sourcing adequate quantities of fuel at commercially reasonable costs, and of
acceptable grade, quality or other specifications, may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and prospects.
The domestic demand for coal is expected to increase significantly in the future, driven by significant
capacity addition in the Indian power sector. High dependence on domestic coal could therefore expose
us to potential price and availability risks. In the event of a shortage of coal, not only will the
productivity of our coal-fired power stations be reduced but it will also hinder our expansion plans. We
also source coal through bilateral short term memoranda of understanding, through imports and through
e-auctions. However, there is no assurance that such sources of coal will continue to be available to us in
the future at reasonable prices or terms or at all.
With respect to gas, our use has been limited in the past due to inadequate supply of domestic gas. We
have arranged for the supply of re-liquefied natural gas through long- and short-term contracts to meet
part of its requirements. The short-term RLNG contracts are agreed on a reasonable endeavours basis
with no obligation on our part of such charges as ship-or-pay or, take-or-pay and no supply or pay
obligation on the part of the suppliers. However, due to high re-liquefied natural gas prices, the off-take
of power by distribution companies and beneficiaries and, consequently, re-liquefied natural gas
consumption has been low. If we experience a shortage in the supply of gas to our gas-fired power
stations, the productivity of those power stations would be reduced. There is no assurance that we will be
able to secure an adequate supply of gas for our current gas-fired power stations or future gas-fired
projects. Our ability to secure adequate fuel supply for our Kawas and Gandhar projects may also be
affected by our dispute with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) on the sale and purchase agreement for
gas supply for those projects.
Further, Ratnagiri gas power project, which is under operation with one of our joint venture company,
Ratnagiri Gas and Power Private Limited, is facing shortage of domestic gas supply from KG-D6 block.
Further, State of Maharashtra has not paid its fixed charges. Thus, gas shortage as well as non-payment
by State of Maharashtra has severally impacted the solvency of the project.
15
For further details, please see Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments on pages 108 and
130.
4.
The power sector in India is highly regulated. For instance, tariff regulations issued by the CERC,
may adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects. Moreover, other regulatory
matters and changes in applicable law and policy may adversely affect us.
Our businesses are regulated by the central and state governments in India, through a number of laws, rules,
regulations and policies applicable to the power sector in India.
The CERC has issued the Tariff Regulations vide its notification No.L-1/144/2013/CERC dated 21.02.2014
(Regulations) applicable for the period from 01.04.2014 to 31.03.2019. The salient features of these
Regulations relating to thermal power plants are discussed as under:
Recovery of fixed charges allowed at normative annual plant availability factor (NAPAF) of 83% for
all thermal plants till 31.03.2017. Thereafter, recovery of fixed charges will be allowed at NAPAF of
85%.
Incentive on scheduled generation at the rate of ` 0.50 per unit for excess energy delivered beyond the
normative annual PLF of 85%.
Grossing up of Income Tax on Return on Equity to be done by grossing by actual effective tax rate.
Coal based stations may opt to avail Special Allowance in lieu of renovation & modernization which
has been increased to ` 7.5 lakh/MW/year w.e.f financial year 2014-15, thereafter escalated at the rate
of 6.35% per annum.
Water charges and capital spares have been excluded from the operation & maintenance expenses and
allowed to the generators on actual basis.
Sharing of savings in operational norms in the ratio of 60:40 between generator and beneficiaries has
been introduced.
Energy Charge shall be derived on the basis of the normative operational parameters, Gross Calorific
Value (GCV) and landed fuel cost of the fuel for a generating station. GCV for the calculation of
energy charge rate will be on as received basis.
The above regulations have negative impact on the profitability of the Company. Further, for the period
beyond March 31, 2019, the nature of the tariff regulations may pose additional risks which presently are
not foreseeable. The Company filed a writ petition in High Court challenging certain provisions of the
Tariff Regulation 2014. Pending disposal of the petition , energy charges included in sales , in respect of
the coal based stations, for the period upto July 2014 have been recognized in our financials based on the
GCV as received at the boiler end and thereafter on the GCV as received at the secondary crusher.
Moreover, the regulatory framework in India continues to evolve and there is a particular focus on
increasing private participation in the future. Non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations may
also lead to penalties, revocation of our permits and registrations, or costly litigation. Any significant
legal or regulatory change or uncertainty in the power sector may adversely impact our business,
financial condition and prospects.

Our PPAs may expose us to certain risks that may affect our business, financial condition and
prospects. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to sell power outside the long term PPAs
and this could have an adverse impact on our revenues.
Under our PPAs with our customers, which are generally state utilities, our profitability is largely a
function of our ability to operate our power projects at optimal levels in accordance with minimum
performance standards that may be determined from time to time by regulatory bodies and our ability to
manage our costs. Any failure to meet such minimum performance standard or manage our costs may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects. Further, the PPAs have
inherent risks that may restrict our operational and financial flexibility. For example, long-term PPAs
provide for sale of power to customers at tariffs and terms determined by the regulator. Accordingly, if
there is an industry-wide increase in tariffs, we will not be able to take advantage of increased tariffs or
negotiate satisfactory alternative off-take arrangements. These limitations affect our ability to enjoy the
benefits of an increased tariff rate that our competitors selling power outside long-term PPAs may
otherwise enjoy.
16
In addition, in the event that PPAs are terminated prematurely, or not renewed or not honoured or
extended after the initial term expires and, if we are unable to enter into purchase agreements with other
customers, this may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects. Further,
MOP has allowed us to sell power from our thermal plants which are over 25 years old after bundling
with our upcoming solar capacity. We are not able to guarantee that we will be able to enter into PPAs
with beneficiaries for selling power on bundled basis. Such agreements may create additional variability
in our revenues and could expose our business to risks of market fluctuations in demand and price for
power.
6.
Weak financial position of distribution companies adversely affects our ability to recover dues from
them and poses an off take risk which may adversely affect our financial position.
The distribution companies and State Electricity Boards (SEBs) have had weak credit histories in the
past and continue to operate under financial constraints, due in part to the regulatory and policy
constraints applicable to them in their respective states. Historically, we have had significant problems
recovering payments from the SEBs, which, we believe, have been largely resolved due to Governmental
intervention. However, any inability to adequately enforce such customers ability to honour their offtake obligations towards us, or the escrow, letter of credit or other arrangements entered into with the
SEBs or any other change including the proposed/undertaken financial restructuring of various SEBs that
adversely affects our ability to recover dues from the SEBs or other state utilities (for instance, due to
state policy or regulatory requirements that the state utilities may be subject to, or other factors affecting
the profitability, creditworthiness and operations of such entities) may adversely affect our business,
Further, lack of schedules for off take of power given by the distribution companies due to their poor
financial health will result in lower plant load factor (PLFs) and lower operational efficiencies.
7.
We are involved in a number of legal and other proceedings and claims that may be determined
against us. Further, opposition from local communities may adversely affect our business.
In the ordinary course of our business, we, as well as our Directors and officers, are subject to several
legal, regulatory, arbitral and administrative proceedings and claims at various levels of investigation or
adjudication. These proceedings may include criminal cases (including motor accident claims, fatal
accident claims, dishonour of cheques, claims regarding theft of goods, petitions for revision enforcement
or quashing of orders previously passed in relation to employment claims, etc.), public interest litigation
(PIL), appeals against tariff orders of the CERC, civil suits, arbitral claims, taxes (including income
and sales tax) and other statutory levies (including royalty claims), employment-related disputes, landacquisition related disputes, environmental disputes, claims regarding alleged defect in title of properties,
trespass and claims for premium, rental and other payments in respect of property owned, leased or
otherwise used by us, etc. The total claim, financial implication or amount of contingent liability relating
to such proceedings as on the date of this Prospectus is not ascertainable, including due to the monetary
claim against us not having been quantified in many instances, and may be substantial. An adverse
decision in any such proceeding may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
prospects. There is also no assurance that similar proceedings will not be initiated against us in future.
Further, should new developments arise, such as a change in Indian law or rulings against us by appellate
courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial statements, which could increase our
expenses and liabilities.
In addition, the acquisition of land for our projects and related rehabilitation and resettlement
requirements, as well as the construction and operation of our projects or our fuel diversification plans
(including coal mining, hydroelectric, renewable or nuclear power projects), may face opposition from
local communities or special interest groups due to the perceived negative impact such activities may
have on the environment and community access to natural resources, or other specific factors from time
to time. Significant opposition by local communities, special interest groups and other parties may delay
project implementation, divert management focus and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial
8.
We have incurred significant indebtedness and may incur substantial additional borrowings in
connection with our business.
17
We have substantial outstanding indebtedness including secured borrowings. As on June 30, 2015, our
financial indebtedness, on a standalone basis stands at ` 85,771.96 crore. Our indebtedness and
restrictions imposed on us under current or future loan arrangements may adversely impact our business,
financial condition and prospects in various ways, including the following:
We may be required to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow towards repayment of debt,
which will reduce availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions
and other general corporate requirements.
We may be required to maintain certain financial ratios and satisfy certain financial or other
covenants.
As some of our borrowings are secured against our assets, lenders may sell or take over those assets
to enforce their claims in the event of any default.
We may be required to obtain approval from our lenders/trustees, regarding, among other things,
reorganisation, amalgamation or merger, incurrence of additional indebtedness, disposition of assets
and expansion of our business, and no assurance can be given that we will receive such approvals in
a timely manner or at all.
Our project costs may increase since we capitalize interest during the construction of our facilities.
Moreover, our ability to meet our debt service obligations and to repay outstanding borrowings will
depend primarily upon the cash flow generated by our business over time, as well as our ability to tap the
capital markets as a source of capital. If we fail to meet our debt service obligations or financial or other
covenants under our financing documents, our lenders could declare default and cancel unutilized
facilities, accelerate the maturity of our obligations or enforce security, which may have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and prospects, particularly in the event cross-default under multiple
financing arrangements is triggered. Further, in such event, the availability and cost of future borrowings
may be negatively impacted, with consequences that may include increased finance charges, decreased
income available to fund future growth, decreased working capital and imposition of restrictive covenants
under financing arrangements.
For further details, see Description of Financial Indebtedness on page 95.

Failure to obtain or renew necessary regulatory approvals may adversely affect our business, financial
In the ordinary course of our business, we as well as our independent contractors and counterparties, are
required to obtain and, in several cases, renew, from time to time, various regulatory approvals,
including, for instance, consents from the state pollution control boards in India to establish and operate
our projects and other facilities and for appropriate handling of biomedical and other hazardous waste,
discharge of waste water, as well as registrations with relevant tax and labour authorities in India. In
particular, several of our environmental, electrical installation testing, wireless set and boiler-usage or
gas-cylinder storage, height clearance, structural design and stability and other approvals across several
of our projects may expire in the near future, and we have applied for or are in the process of applying
for renewals or extensions of such approvals in due course.
Failure to obtain and maintain or renew required approvals and registrations may have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and prospects. Further, such approvals and registrations may be
subject to numerous conditions, including periodic reporting or audit requirements, which may require us
to undertake substantial compliance-related expenditure and other procedures. Any actual or alleged noncompliance with specified conditions may result in suspension or cancellation of, or refusal to renew,
required approvals and registrations or imposition of penalties, which may be significant, by the relevant
authorities. A suspension, cancellation or refusal to extend required approvals and registrations may
require us to cease production at some or all of our facilities or to engage in time-consuming and costly
administrative and/or legal proceedings in order to resolve such issues, or may affect other aspects of our
operations, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.

Our Joint Statutory Auditors may have included certain notes and matters of emphasis in their reports
on financial statements included in this Prospectus, which should be considered carefully by
prospective investors in the Issue.
18
While there is no reservation, qualification or adverse remarks in the Joint Statutory Auditors report on
our standalone and consolidated financial statements as on and for the years ended March 31, 2015,
2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and the limited review for 3 (three) months ended June 30, 2015, our Joint
Statutory Auditors have included certain notes and matters of emphasis in their reports, which should be
considered carefully by prospective investors in the Issue.
11.
We have significant contingent liabilities, which may result in an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and prospects, to the extent that any such liabilities materialize.
The contingent liabilities appearing in our consolidated financial statements, as on March 31, 2015, are

We are subject to various environmental, occupational, health and safety and other laws, which may
subject us to increased compliance costs that may have an adverse effect on our business, financial
Our operations are subject to central, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment and occupational health and safety, including those governing the generation, handling,
storage, use, management, transportation and disposal of, or exposure to, environmental pollutants or
hazardous materials resulting from power projects as well as with respect to the utilization of fly ash
produced in course of our generation and with respect to mining operations conducted in India . For
instance, we require approvals under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the
Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, in order to establish and operate our power projects,
and will require prospecting licences and, subsequently, mining leases in order to commence prospecting
and mining activities at the coal blocks allocated to us.
In addition, in the ordinary course, we are subject to several risks generally associated with power
generation as well as coal mining, including explosions, fires, mechanical failures, accidents, discharges
of toxic or hazardous substances or gases and other environmental risks. These hazards may cause
personal injury and loss of life, environmental damage and severe damage to or destruction of property
and equipment. We may incur substantial costs, including clean up or remediation costs, fines and civil or
criminal sanctions, and third-party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations of
or liabilities under environmental or health and safety laws or actual or alleged noncompliance with
permits or registrations required at our facilities, or the conditions imposed on us under such permits and
registrations. Further, on the expiry or termination of any operating permits held by us, including any
mining licences granted to us in the future, we may be required to incur significant costs to dismantle and
decommission our operations and remove our equipment and installations at such sites.
Moreover, environmental and health and safety laws, regulations and policies, and the interpretation and
enforcement thereof, are subject to change and have tended to become stricter over time. In particular, we
expect that the GoI, as well as the governments of several nations worldwide, may be considering further
measures to achieve a significant reduction in carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. Compliance with
current and future environmental and health and safety laws, regulations and policies, particularly at older
power stations, may require substantial capital expenditure. If we fail, or are alleged to have failed, to
comply with such laws, regulations and policies, we may be subject to significant fines, penalties, costs,
liabilities or restrictions on operations. In certain cases, we may also be required to become involved in
costly and time-consuming legal or administrative proceedings in order to resolve any such allegations or
claims that may arise against us, in relation to compliance with applicable environmental and health and
safety laws, regulations and policies, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and
prospects.

13.
Our accounts are subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India and may be
adversely affected by any adverse finding in the audit of the accounts.
Section 143(6)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that the Comptroller and Auditor-General of
India (CAG) shall, within sixty days from the date of receipt of the audit report, have a right to
comment upon or supplement such audit report. In pursuance thereof, the CAG had conducted a
supplementary audit of the consolidated and standalone financial statements of our Company for the
financial year 2014-2015. Accordingly, it was noted that as per the provisions of the AS-10 of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the expenditure incurred on enabling assets not owned by our
Company should be charged off to revenue in the accounting period in which such expenditure was
incurred. The Company, however, capitalized the expenditure incurred on assets not owned by the
Company.
CAG has stated that booking of expenditure on enabling assets not owned by our Company under
tangible assets and capital work in progress resulted in understatement of expenses by ` 167.99 crore,
overstatement of tangible assets by ` 89.39 crore and capital work in progress by ` 78.60 crore on a
consolidated basis, and understatement of expenses by ` 130.77 crore, overstatement of tangible
assets by ` 54.40 crore, and capital work in progress by ` 76.37 crore, on a standalone basis.
Consequently, profit of the Company for the fiscal 2015, on a consolidated basis, was found to be
overstated by ` 167.99 crore and, on a standalone basis, by ` 130.77 crore.
While our Company has in its reply to CAG stated that the expenditure in respect of enabling assets not
owned by our Company under tangible assets and capital work-in-progress represent expenditure
incurred on roads, construction power lines, among others, which, in the view of the Company, are
directly attributable to and necessary for the construction of the power projects, and to enable the
Company to operate properly, there is no assurance that our submissions would be accepted.
Our Company could be subject to similar adverse findings in future which could have material adverse
impact on our financial conditions, profitability, operations and profits.
14.
Our business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to take
advantage of certain tax benefits or if there are adverse changes to the tax regime in the future.
Section 80-IA of the Income Tax Act provides that, subject to certain conditions, 100.00% of the profits
from projects for generation, distribution or transmission of power, which begin generation or distribution
of power before March 31, 2017, are entitled for deduction from total income for 10 consecutive
assessment years out of 15 years, beginning from the year in which the project commences power
generation, transmission or distribution. If such or other tax benefits become unavailable, our financial
condition, business and prospects may be adversely affected.
15.
This Prospectus includes certain unaudited financial information in relation to our Company.
Reliance on such information should, accordingly, be limited.
This Prospectus includes unaudited standalone financial results in relation to our Company, for the
quarter ended June 30, 2015, in respect of which the Joint Statutory Auditors of our Company for the
financial year 2014-15 have issued their Limited Review Report dated July 30, 2015. As this financial
information has been subject only to limited review as required by the Stock Exchanges, in accordance
with the equity listing agreement, and not subject to an audit, any reliance by prospective investors on
such unaudited standalone financial information for the financial year 2014-15 should, accordingly, be
limited. Moreover, our financial results for any given fiscal quarter or period, including the quarter ended
June 30, 2015, may not be directly comparable with our financial results for any full fiscal or for any
other fiscal quarter or period. Accordingly, prospective investors in the Issue are advised to read such
unaudited standalone financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 in conjunction with the
audited financial information provided elsewhere in this Prospectus in Annexure A - Financial
Information.
16.
Inability to attract and retain, or appropriately replace, our key personnel and sufficient skilled
workers may adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
20
Our success depends substantially on the continued service and performance of our senior management
team and other key personnel, as well as on our skilled workforce. If we lose the services of any key
individuals and are unable to find suitable replacements in a timely manner, our ability to realize strategic
objectives may be impaired. Moreover, as we are a public sector undertaking, Government policies
regulate and control emoluments and benefits that we pay to our employees, and such policies may not
permit us to pay market rates. Consequently, private sector participants in power generation, coal mining,
oil exploration and production and related activities may dilute the talent pool available to public sector
undertakings. Also, since most of our operations lie in remote regions of India, we may face competitive
disadvantages in attracting and retaining key personnel and skilled workers at various levels and positions
across our organization.
17.
We may be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands or any other kind
of disputes involving our work force. Further, Government announcements relating to increased
wages for public sector employees will increase our expenses.
We employ a significant number of employees and engage various contractors who provide us with
labourers at our power projects. Most of our non-executive workers are unionized. Any shortage of
skilled personnel or work stoppages caused by disagreements with our work force and the unions may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects. Further, under Indian law, we
may be required to absorb a portion of contract labour as our employees or we may be held responsible
for wage payments, benefits and amenities to labour engaged by our independent contractors, should such
contractors default on wage payments or in providing benefits and amenities. Moreover, being a public
sector undertaking, we will be affected by any increase in prescribed employee pay scale and benefits on
account of an announcement by the Government. The next revision of wage and benefits is due in fiscal
2017.
18.
We may encounter problems relating to the operations of our Joint Venture/Subsidiaries, which may
As on the date of this Prospectus, our Company has formed 21 Joint Ventures for undertaking specific
business activities, as well as 4 (four) subsidiaries out of which 2 (two) are wholly owned by our
Company. Our Joint Ventures/Subsidiaries, present and future, as well as our obligations under any joint
venture agreements, whether subsisting or future, may subject us to certain risks, including the following:
19.
Our joint venture partners may be unable or unwilling to fulfil their financial or other obligations to
us, or may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours, or may take
actions contrary to our instructions, requests, policies and objectives or actions that are not
acceptable to regulatory authorities or may become involved in litigation with us or third parties or
may have financial difficulties that may make it difficult for us to enforce our agreements with them.
Some of our joint venture agreements prohibit us from, among other things, disposing of our
shareholding in the Joint Ventures for specified periods or acquiring additional shares without the
written consent of the other party. Such covenants may limit our ability to make optimum use of our
investments or exit these joint venture companies at our discretion, which may have an adverse
impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.
We may withdraw from our JVs or subsidiaries if they are unable to operate in the desired manner to
achieve the goals for which the same were set up.
Our operations and expansion plans have significant water requirements and we may not be able to
ensure regular and adequate availability of water.
Water is a key input for hydroelectric and thermal power generation. Our operations and the proposed
expansion of generation capacity will be dependent on, among other things, our ability to ensure
unconstrained and undiminished availability of committed water supply from State Governments during
the life cycle of the existing and planned power stations. Changing weather patterns and inconsistent
rainfall and change in law can hamper water supply at our power stations. Although we create reservoirs
to hold water to cover any temporary shortfall, these reservoirs do not have sufficient capacity to sustain
supply to our power stations for extended periods of time.
We rely on water supply arrangements with certain State Governments and State Government bodies.
Such water sources may run through several States and may be the subject of interstate water disputes.
21
Any interstate water disputes may affect the ability of these State Governments to supply water to us.
Water is a limited and politically sensitive resource, and is carefully allocated by the State Governments
for use between several groups of users. Accordingly, due to political pressures, State Governments may
not fulfil their contractual obligations to us under these water supply agreements.
In the event of water shortages, our power projects may be required to reduce their water consumption,
which would reduce their power generation capability, thereby adversely affecting our average PLF
which could have an adverse affect on our business and financial conditions. Expansion of our generation
capacity and the development of new power stations cannot be initiated unless we have regular and
adequate availability of water and/or confirmation of water availability for these projects.
20.
We have negative cash flows in investing and financing activities in recent periods.
We have had negative cash flows in investing and financing activities in recent periods. The following
table sets forth, on a consolidated basis, certain information with respect to our historical negative cash

Negative cash flow over a long period and inability to generate and sustained positive cash flows in the
future may adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.
21.
Our Company has not appointed the requisite number of independent directors and woman director
on its Board.
Our Company being a Government Company, the power of appointment of Directors on the Board is
vested with the President of India, acting through administrative ministry. Accordingly, our Company
has not been able to maintain the minimum Board composition as required under the Companies Act,
2013 and the rules thereunder and the listing agreement. If the Stock Exchanges undertake any action
against our Company including levying of penalties or if there is any communication with the regulatory
agencies in that regard, it may have a material adverse effect on our reputation or profitability.
22.
While we generate high levels of ash in our operations, our ash utilization activities may be
insufficient to dispose of all the ash that we generate. Our power generation capacity may be adversely
affected to the extent that we are unable to appropriately utilize ash generated for our operations as
per stipulated laws and timelines.
In particular, our Company generates high levels of ash in its operations. There are limited uses for ash
and therefore demand for ash is low. While we continue to explore methods to utilize or dispose of ash,
our ash utilization activities are insufficient to dispose of the ash we generate. This may add to our capital
expenditures and operating expenses. In certain cases where it may not be possible to increase our
utilization of ash to comply with this requirement, we may need to reduce the generation of ash through a
partial or full shutdown of our operating power stations, thereby reducing our average PLF which could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
23.
The interests of our Directors may cause conflicts of interest in the ordinary course of our business.
Conflicts of interest may arise in the ordinary course of decision making for our Company. Some of our
non-Executive Directors and General Managers are also on the board of directors of certain companies
22
which are engaged in businesses similar to our business. There is no assurance that our Directors will not
provide competing services or compete with our business in which we are already present or will enter
into in future.
24.
Some of our immovable properties may have certain irregularities in title, which may adversely affect
us.
There may be certain irregularities in respect of our title to some of the land acquired for our various
power stations as well as other properties owned by and leased to us, for instance, the title deeds may not
have been properly executed or stamped or registered or lease agreements may have expired and not yet
been renewed. In certain cases, the prescribed land acquisition procedures are yet to be completed and,
accordingly, we do not yet have clear and absolute title to certain immovable properties. Further, in
respect of certain immovable properties, we are involved in legal or regulatory proceedings that are
pending before various courts and authorities in India and the total claim against us in such proceedings is
not quantifiable. Further, a portion of the land acquired for our projects is subject to adverse possession.
Failure to possess or repossess such land may adversely affect our business, financial condition and
prospects.
25.
Inability to adapt to technological changes or disruptions to our technology platforms or business or

communication systems may adversely affect us.
Our success depends in part on our ability to respond to technological advances and emerging industry
standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. Changes in technology and costs of
equipment and compliance, particularly as we continue to diversify into non-conventional energy
sources, may require us to make significant additional capital expenditures to upgrade our facilities. If we
are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to identify and adapt in a timely and cost
effective manner to technological changes and consequently evolving market conditions and customer
requirements, our business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected. In addition, as
we source hardware and software from third parties, there is no guarantee that there will not be any
defects in these products, which may affect or disrupt our business.
26.
Our business involves numerous risks that may not be covered by insurance.
While we maintain insurance cover that we believe to be consistent with industry practice, including a
mega risk policy that is presently valid up to October 31, 2015 and which covers risks as to physical loss
or damage and machinery breakdown including certain extensions to cover risks such as burglary,
leakage and overflowing, fire fighting expenses, deliberate damage, removal of debris, subject to certain
standard exclusions, exemptions and clarifications such as standard wear and tear and gradual
deterioration of insured assets, the occurrence of any events that are not covered by our insurance, or any
losses that are in excess of our insurance coverage or that may be claimed by us in the future but not
honoured by our insurers for any reason, may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and prospects.
27.
The President of India acting through the MoP exercises a majority control in the Company, which
enables it to influence the decision making process.
As on June 30 2015, the President of India acting through the MoP holds 74.96% of the paid-up Equity
Share capital of our Company which enables the Government of India to influence the outcome of any
matter submitted to shareholders for their approval. Exercise of such influence by the Government of
India may adversely affect the interests of the Company and its other shareholders which, in turn, could
adversely affect the goodwill, operations and profitability of the Company.
28.
We may be adversely affected by changes in Government policy and shareholding.

The President of India, acting through the MoP, owns 74.96% of our Companys paid-up capital as of
June 30, 2015. While we generally manage our business on a daily basis with a high degree of financial
and operational autonomy, in large part as a result of our Maharatna status, Government ownership has
been an important factor in many aspects of our business, including the settlement of electricity dues
payable by the SEBs. Any pursuit of Government policies that are not in the interests of our Company, or
23
the loss of Maharatna status, or any significant change in Government shareholding in our Company
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
29.
Failure to protect intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business and prospects.
We have not registered our trademark or that of our Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. Consequently, we
do not enjoy the statutory protections accorded to registered trademarks in India and may, in the event of
a competing claim, be required to enter into expensive and prolonged litigation in order to establish or
protect our use of such trademarks and other intellectual property.
30.
Risks relating to accelerated solar capacity addition

The Company intends to add 10,000 MW to its capacity by way of renewable (solar) energy based power
projects in future (Renewable Projects). The Company has signed a memorandum of understanding
with Government of Andhra Pradesh for developing 1,000 MW solar photovoltaic project in a phased
manner. For this purpose, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has identified 7,554.53 acres of land in
Anantpur district.
The Issue proceeds are proposed to be utilised towards the first phase i.e. 250 MW of solar photovoltaic
power project in Anantpur, Andhra Pradesh (Anantpur Project also referred to as Anantapuramu
Ultra Mega Solar Project) and other renewable energy based power projects. The transmission and
evacuation infrastructure for the Anantpur Project would be provided by the Government of Andhra
Pradesh and is expected to completed within a period of one-two years.
Any delay in completion of the project and readiness of associated power evacuation infrastructure is
likely to result in an adverse impact on operations, business prospects and profitability of the Company.
Additionally, the Renewable Projects are subject to other risks including higher tariffs as compared to
conventional coal based plants and the associated offtake risk, determination of adverse tariff, technology
risk, sub-optimal performance, parallel investment required from state agencies and central transmission
utilities in infrastructure for evacuation of power, grid stability, regulations mandating forecasting and
scheduling of solar power, non-availability of tax benefits and unfavourable ratings by distribution
companies.
31.
Risks relating to trading of solar power under National Solar Mission

Our Company has been designated as the nodal agency by the Government of India for selection of solar
power developers for 15,000 MW grid-connected solar photo voltaic power plants to be developed under
National Solar Mission in a time span of 5 (five) years from the years 2014 - 2015 to 2018 - 2019 in
three tranches. Our Company shall also be required to purchase solar power from these plants for further
sale to state distribution companies.
Any default by state distribution companies in payment of dues on account of solar power generated or
traded by the Company and foreign currency exchange rate variations or refusal to off-take solar power is
likely to have an adverse impact on the balance sheet of the Company affecting the overall credit-risk.
32.
We have entered into certain transactions with related parties. Any transaction with related parties
may involve conflicts of interest
We have entered into transactions with several related parties. We can give no assurance that we could
not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties.
Furthermore, it is likely that we will enter into related party transactions in the future. There can be no
assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. The transactions we have entered into and any future
transactions with our related parties have involved or could potentially involve conflicts of interest.
For details regarding our related party transactions entered into by us as on March 31, 2015, please refer
to Financial Information beginning on page 617.
33.
In addition to our Rupee borrowings and financial activities, we currently have foreign currency
borrowings as well as financing activities, which are likely to continue or increase in the future, which
24
will expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, which could adversely affect our financial
condition.
As at June 30, 2015, our aggregate foreign currency borrowings amounted to Rs 25,964.42 crore,
comprising 30.27% of our aggregate borrowings as at that date. We may seek to obtain additional foreign
currency borrowings in the future. We are therefore affected by adverse movements in foreign exchange
rates. While we seek to hedge foreign currency exposures, there can be no assurance that our hedging
policies and mechanisms will remain effective or that we will enter into effective hedging with respect to
any new foreign currency borrowings. To the extent we increase our foreign currency borrowing in the
future, we may be further exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Volatility in foreign exchange
rates could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Further,
adverse movement of foreign exchange rates may also affect our borrowers negatively, which may in turn
adversely affect the quality of our exposure to these borrowers.
34.
Failure or delayed updating of our Information Technology systems could significantly affect our
business operations.
Continued updating of our information technology systems commensurate with the nature and volumes
of business operations is necessary. While, we have been upgrading our information technology systems,
there can be no assurance that the new systems will be successfully integrated into our existing systems,
that our employees can be successfully trained to utilise the upgraded systems, that the upgraded systems,
if installed and operational, will not become quickly outdated or that the upgraded systems will bring
about the anticipated benefits.
RISKS RELATING TO INDIA

35.
Economic, political or other factors beyond our control may have an adverse impact on our business,
The following external risks may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and
prospects:
36.
slowdown in economic growth, especially in the power sector, may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and prospects;
decline in Indias foreign exchange reserves may affect liquidity and interest rates in the Indian
economy and an increase in interest rates may adversely impact the valuation of the Indian Rupee
vis--vis foreign currencies, as well as our access to capital and borrowing costs, which may
constrain our ability to grow our business and operate profitably;
the Indian and global economies have had sustained periods of high inflation in the past. High
inflation may increase our employee costs and decrease demand for power, which may have an
adverse effect on our profitability and competitive advantage;
a downgrade of India's sovereign rating by international credit rating agencies may adversely impact
our access to capital and borrowing costs, which may constrain our ability to grow our business and
operate profitably;
political instability, resulting from a change in government or in economic and fiscal policies, may
adversely affect economic conditions and our own operations;
natural disasters such as cyclones and earthquakes may disrupt our operations or adversely affect the
economy, on the health of which our business depends;
civil unrest, terrorist attacks, regional conflicts or situations of war may adversely affect the financial
markets and our own operations; and
availability and reliability of transport and telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in India,
may affect our business, financial condition and prospects, including in terms of impacting our cost
of fuel and profit margins, as well as the expected schedule of commissioning of our projects under
construction.
Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of
corporate and tax laws, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving. Such changes, including the
instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects, to the
25
extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with such changes in applicable law and
policy:
The Companies Act 2013 has been notified and it envisages significant changes, including on issue
of capital, corporate governance, audit and corporate social responsibility.
The GoI proposes to revamp implementation of direct taxes through a Direct Taxes Code (DTC).
If the DTC is enacted and notified, the tax impact on the Company may be altered.
The GoI has proposed a national goods and services tax (GST) regime to combine taxes and levies
by the central and state governments into a unified rate structure.
Uncertainty in applicability, interpretation or implementation of any change in governing law or policy,

including by reason of an absence or limited body of administrative or judicial precedent may be time
consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact our business and prospects.
37.
Our ability to raise capital outside India may be constrained by Indian law.
As an Indian company, the Issuer is subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign
currencies. Such regulatory restrictions limit the Issuers financing sources for power projects under
development and future investment plans and could constrain its ability to obtain financings on
competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, no assurance can be given that the
required approvals will be granted to the Issuer without onerous conditions, or at all. The limitations on
foreign debt may have an adverse effect on the business growth, financial condition and results of
operations of the Issuer.
38.
The effects of the planned convergence with IFRS and the adoption of Indian Accounting Standards
converged with IFRS (IND-AS) are uncertain.
In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 133 read with Section 469 of the Companies Act, 2013,
the Central Government, in consultation with the National Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards
had notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 commonly referred to as Ind AS.
As per the said Rules, Ind AS are to be implemented voluntarily w.e.f. FY 2015-16 and mandatorily
w.e.f. FY 2016-17. Further, it has been specified that once a company starts following the Ind AS either
voluntarily or mandatorily on the basis of criteria specified, it shall be required to follow the Ind AS for
all the subsequent financial statements even if any of the criteria specified does not subsequently apply to
it. We plan to follow Ind AS for the accounting periods beginning 1st April 2016, with the comparative
figures for the preceding accounting period ending on 31st March 2016.
The Issuer has not determined with any degree of certainty the impact that such adoption will have on its
financial reporting. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Issuers financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders equity will not appear materially worse under Ind-AS
than under current Indian GAAP. In the Issuers transition to Ind-AS reporting, the Issuer may encounter
difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing its management information systems.
Moreover, there is increasing competition for the small number of experienced accounting personnel
familiar with IFRS accounting standards as more Indian companies begin to prepare Ind-AS financial
statements. There can be no assurance that the Issuers adoption of Ind-AS will not adversely affect its
reported results of operations or financial condition.
39.
Our ability to invest in overseas Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures may be constrained by Indian and
foreign laws.
RBI issues guidelines, from time to time, for Overseas Direct Investment in JVs and wholly subsidiaries
imposing certain restrictions on investments. Our failure to comply with these guidelines may hamper
our investment plans. In addition, there are certain routine procedural and disclosure requirements in
relation to any such overseas direct investment. These limitations may constrain our ability to acquire or
increase our stake in overseas entities as well as to provide other forms of financial support to such
entities, which may adversely affect our growth strategy and prospects.
RISKS RELATING TO INVESTMENT IN THE BONDS

40.
We are required to create a debenture redemption reserve (DRR) equivalent to 25% of the value of the
26
NCD offered through this Issue out of profits available for distribution of dividends. In the absence of
sufficient profits, we may not be able to transfer adequate amounts to the DRR.
Sub rule 7 of Rule 18 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debenture) Rules, 2014 read with Section 71
of the Act states that any company that intends to issue debentures must create a DRR to which adequate
amounts shall be credited out of the profits of the company available for payment of dividend until the
debentures are redeemed. The quantum of DRR to be created before the redemption liability actually
arises in normal circumstances should be adequate which has been prescribed to be 25% of the value of
debentures issued through public issue. As further clarified by the DRR Circular, the amount to be
credited as DRR will be carved out of the profits of the Company only and there is no obligation on the
part of the Company to create DRR if there is no profit or no adequate profit for the year to pay dividends
for the particular year. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate adequate profits, the DRR created by us
may not be adequate to meet the 25% of the value of the NCDs issued.
41.
There has been only a limited trading in the bonds of such nature and the price of the Bonds may be
volatile subject to fluctuations.
The Bonds have no established market and there is no assurance that an active public market for these
Bonds will develop or be sustained. Further, the liquidity and price of the Bonds may vary with changes
in market and economic conditions, our financial condition and other factors that may be beyond our
control.
42.
There is no guarantee that the Bonds will be listed on the Stock Exchange(s) in a timely manner or at
all, or that monies refundable to Applicants will be refunded in a timely manner.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, approval for listing and trading of the Bonds will not be
granted until after the Bonds have been Allotted. While we will use best efforts to ensure that all steps for
completion of the necessary formalities for Allotment, listing and commencement of trading on the Stock
Exchange(s) are taken within the time prescribed by SEBI or applicable law, there may be a failure or
delay in listing the Bonds on the Stock Exchange(s). We cannot assure you that any monies refundable on
account of (a) withdrawal of the Issue, or (b) failure to obtain final approval from the Stock Exchange(s)
for listing of the Bonds, will be refunded in a timely manner. We shall, however, refund any such monies,
with interest due and payable thereon, as prescribed under applicable law.
43.
You may not be able to recover, on a timely basis or at all, the full value of outstanding amounts on
the Bonds.
Our ability to pay interest accrued and the principal amount outstanding from time to time in connection
with the Bonds is subject to various factors, including our financial condition, profitability and the
general economic conditions in India and in the global financial markets. Although we have undertaken
to ensure at least 100.00% asset cover for the Bonds, the realizable value of secured assets may be lower
than the sum of the outstanding principal and interest accrued in connection with the Bonds.
44.
Changes in interest rates may affect the price of the Bonds.

Securities where a fixed rate of interest is offered, such as the Bonds, are subject to price risk. The price
of such securities will vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, i.e., when interest rates
rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent of
fall or rise in the prices is a function of the coupon rate, days to maturity and increase or decrease in
prevailing interest rates. Increased rates of interest, which may accompany inflation and/or a growing
economy, may have a negative effect on the price of the Bonds.
45.
A downgrade in credit rating of the Bonds may affect the price of the Bonds.
The Bonds are rated by ICRA, CRISIL, and CARE and have been assigned AAA ratings. For details, see
Annexure B: Credit Ratings on pages 815, 822, and 827, respectively. We cannot guarantee that this
rating will not be downgraded, suspended or withdrawn at any time during the tenor of the Bonds. Any
downgrade, suspension or withdrawal in the credit rating on the Bonds may lower the price of the Bonds.
27
46.
The Bonds are eligible for tax benefits under Section 10(15)(iv)(h) of the Income Tax Act, only up to
the amount of interest on the Bonds
The Bonds are classified as tax-free in terms of Section 10(15)(iv)(h) of the Income Tax Act and the
CBDT Notification only as to the amount of interest on the Bonds and not the amount of investment in
the Bonds, and is further subject to other applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act and the CBDT
Notification including disallowing of tax free interest on the Bonds.
47.
Payments on the Bonds will be subordinated to certain tax and other liabilities preferred by law.
Pursuant to Regulation 16 of the SEBI Debt Regulations and the Companies (Share Capital and
Debentures) Rules, 2014, For other companies including manufacturing and infrastructure companies,
the adequacy of DRR will be 25% of the value of debentures issued through public issue as per present
SEBI (Issue and Listing of Debt Securities), Regulations 2008 and also 25% DRR is required in the case
of privately placed debentures by listed companies. Accordingly, we are presently required to create
DRR of at least 25% of the value of Bonds and to credit amounts to the DRR from our profits every year
until the Bonds are redeemed. The maintenance of such DRR may be modified in the future in the event
of any change in applicable law. However, payment on the Bonds will be subordinated to certain
liabilities preferred by law, such as claims of the GoI on account of taxes, and certain liabilities incurred
in the ordinary course of our business. In an event of default in excess of the DRR, in particular, in an
event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up, our assets will be available to meet payment obligations
on the Bonds only after all liabilities that rank senior to the Bonds have been paid and, in such event,
there may not be sufficient assets remaining, after paying amounts relating to these claims, to pay
amounts due on the Bonds.

Interim use
of Proceeds
The funds raised through this Issue will be utilized for incurring capital expenditure
on the following renewable (solar) energy based power projects:
1. 250 MW Solar Photovoltaic Power Project in Anantpur District, Andhra
Pradesh,
2. Other renewable energy (including solar energy) based power projects (Other
Projects), and
3. General corporate purposes (not exceeding 25% percent of the amount raised in
this Issue).
The total funding required to meet the engineering, procurement and construction
costs, infrastructure costs, project management costs, interest during construction etc.
(including recoupment of expenditure already incurred) for Anantpur Solar Project is
estimated to be ` 1,779.24 crore. Anantpur Project has been appraised by an
independent agency and has been found viable.
The report notes that transmission and evacuation infrastructure for the Anantpur
Project would be provided by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and there is a
possibility of delay in due completion of the above infrastructure by the time the
project is completed. Additionally, the report notes that the project is subject to
factors like determination of adverse tariff, sub-optimal performance, parallel
investment in infrastructure for evacuation of power, grid stability, unavailability of
tax benefits and unfavourable ratings by distribution companies.
The Anantpur project is proposed to be funded by equity and debt. Debt proportion in
total financing is proposed to be met by funds raised in this Issue and other sources
including term loans, external commercial borrowings and domestic bond issuances.
Completion of the Anantpur Project is envisaged in 1-2 years.
For risks relating to the project, see Risk Factors on page 24.
The company will give priority to Anantpur Project for deployment of the funds
mobilized. However, in case of any unforeseen delay in the execution of the
Anantpur Project, the Company reserves the right to utilize the proceeds for, inter
alia, funding of capital expenditure and refinancing for meeting the debt requirement
in Other Projects, including recoupment of expenditure already incurred in the
projects.
Pending utilization of the Issue proceeds for the purposes described above, we intend
to temporarily invest the Issue proceeds in term deposits with Authorized Dealer Category 1 banks in India, or otherwise as may be approved by the Board from time
to time in accordance with applicable law.
projects in future (Renewable Projects). The Government of Andhra Pradesh has, for the 1,000 MW solar
photovoltaic project, identified 7,554.53 acres of land in Anantpur district.
The Issue proceeds are proposed to be utilised towards the first phase of Anantpur Project/Ananthapura Ultra
Mega Solar Project and other renewable energy based power projects. The transmission and evacuation
infrastructure for the Anantpur Project would be provided by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and is
expected to be completed within a period of one-two year.
54
Any delay in due completion of the above infrastructure is likely to result in an adverse impact on operations,
business prospects and profitability of the Company. Additionally, the Renewable Projects are subject to other
risks including determination of adverse tariff, sub-optimal performance, parallel investment in infrastructure
for evacuation of power, grid stability, unavailability of tax benefits and unfavourable ratings by distribution
companies.

STATEMENT OF TAX BENEFITS

Under the current tax laws, the following possible tax benefits, inter alia, will be available to the Bond holders.
This is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax consequences of the subscription, ownership and
disposal of the Bonds, under the current tax laws presently in force in India. The benefits are given as per the
prevailing tax laws and may vary from time to time in accordance with amendments to the laws or enactments
described in this section. The Bondholders are advised to consider in their own case the tax implications in
respect of subscription to the Bonds after consulting their own tax advisors, as alternate views or
interpretations are possible, and tax benefits may be considered differently by the Indian Income Tax
Authorities, the Government, Tribunals or Courts. We are not liable to the Bondholders in any manner for
placing reliance upon the contents of this statement of tax benefits.
A. INCOME TAX
1. Interest from Bonds do not form part of Total Income.
a) In exercise of power conferred by item (h) of sub clause (iv) of clause (15) of Section 10 of the Income Tax
Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government, vide Notification No. 59/2015 dated July 6 th , 2015, has
authorised NTPC Limited to issue through a public/private issue during financial year 2015-16, Tax-free,
Secured Redeemable Non-convertible Bonds for the aggregate amount not exceeding Rs.1,000 crore subject
to the conditions as prescribed in the said notification.
It shall be mandatory for the subscribers of such Bonds to furnish their permanent account number to the
issuer.
b) Section 10(15)(iv)(h) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides that in computing the total income of a previous
year of any person, interest payable by any public sector company in respect of such bonds or debentures and
subject to such conditions, including the condition that the holder of such bonds or debentures registers his
name and the holding with that company, as the Central Government may, by Notification in the Official
Gazette, specify in this behalf shall not be included in the total income.
Further, as per Section 14A(1), no deduction shall be allowed in respect of expenditure incurred by the
assessee in relation to said interest as it does not form part of the total income.
Section 2(36A) of Income Tax Act, 1961 defines Public Sector Company as any corporation established
by or under any Central, State or Provincial Act or a Government Company as defined in Section 617 of the
Companies Act, 1956 (1 of 1956)*.
* Section 2 (45) of the Companies Act, 2013.
c) Since the interest income on the Bonds is exempt, no tax deduction at source (TDS) is required. However
interest on application money would be liable for TDS as well as would be subject to tax as per present tax
laws.
2. CAPITAL GAIN
a) Under Section 2 (29A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with section 2 (42A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961,
a listed Bond is treated as a Long Term Capital Asset if the same is held for more than 12 months
immediately preceding the date of its transfer.
Under Section 112 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, capital gains arising on the transfer of Long Term Capital
Assets being listed securities are subject to tax at the rate of 20% of the Capital Gains calculated after
reducing indexed cost of acquisition or 10% of the capital gains without indexation of the cost of acquisition.
The capital gains will be computed by deducting expenditure incurred in connection with such transfer and
cost of acquisition/indexed cost of acquisition of the Bonds from the sale consideration.
However as per third proviso to Section 48 of Income Tax Act, 1961 benefits of indexation of cost of
acquisition under second proviso of Section 48 of Income Tax Act, 1961 is not available in case of bonds
and debentures, except capital indexed bonds. Thus, Long Term Capital Gain Tax can be considered at a rate
of 10% on listed bonds without indexation.
57
Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is a tax being levied on all transactions in specified securities done on
the stock exchanges at rates prescribed by the Central Government from time to time. However, STT is not
applicable on transactions in the Bonds.
In case of an individual or Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), being a resident, where the total income as
reduced by the long term capital gains is below the maximum amount not chargeable to tax like for
Assessment Year 2016-17 Rs.2,50,000 in case of resident citizens of less than 60 years of age, Rs.3,00,000
in case of resident senior citizens of 60 or more years of age (on any day of the previous year) and
Rs.500,000 in case of resident super senior citizens of 80 years or more of age (on any day of the previous
year), the long term capital gains shall be reduced by the amount by which the total income as so reduced
falls short of the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax and at the tax on the balance of
such long-term capital gains shall be computed at the rate of ten per cent in accordance with and the proviso
to sub-section (1) of section 112 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with CBDT Circular 721 dated
September 13, 1995.
Surcharge @12% is applicable for assessees having total income exceeding rupees one crore subject to
marginal relief.
2% education cess and 1% secondary and higher education cess on the total income tax (including surcharge
wherever applicable) is payable by all categories of tax payers.
b) Short-term capital gains on the transfer of listed bonds, where Bonds are held for a period of not more than
12 months would be taxed at the normal rates of tax in accordance with and subject to the provision of the
Income Tax Act, 1961.
The provisions related to minimum amount not chargeable to tax, surcharge and education cess described at
para (a) above would also apply to such short-term capital gains.
c) Under Section 54 EC of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and subject to the conditions and to the extent specified
therein, long term capital gains arising to the Bondholders on transfer of their Bonds shall not be chargeable
to tax to the extent such capital gains are invested in certain notified Bonds within six months from the date
of transfer. If only part of the capital gain is so invested, the exemption shall be proportionately reduced.
However, if the said notified Bonds are transferred or converted into money within a period of three years
from their date of acquisition, the amount of capital gains exempted earlier would become chargeable to tax
as long term capital gains in the year in which the Bonds are transferred or converted into money. Where the
benefit of Section 54 EC of the Income Tax Act, 1961 has been availed on investments in the notified Bonds,
a deduction from the income with reference to such cost shall not be allowed under Section 80 C of the
Income Tax Act, 1961.
For purpose of availing exemption from tax on capital gains, the investment made in the notified Bonds by
an assessee during the financial year in which the original asset is transferred and in the subsequent financial
year cannot exceed Rs. 50.00 lakh.
d) As per the provisions of Section 54F of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and subject to conditions specified
therein, any long-term capital gains (not being residential house) arising to a Bondholder who is an
individual or HUF, are exempt from capital gains tax if the entire net sales considerations is utilized, within a
period of one year before, or two years after the date of transfer, in purchase of a new residential house, or
for construction of one residential house in India (hereafter referred to the new asset) within three years from
the date of transfer. If only a part of such net sales consideration is invested within the prescribed period in
the new asset, then such gains would be chargeable to tax on a proportionate basis.
Provided that nothing contained above shall apply where the said Bondholder owns more than one
residential house other than the new asset, on the date of transfer of such original asset or purchase any
residential house, other than the new asset, within a period of one year after the date of transfer of such
original asset or constructs any residential house, other than the new asset, within a period of three years
after the date of transfer of such original asset and the income from such residential house other than the one
residential house owned on the date of transfer of such original asset, is chargeable under the head Income
from House Property. If the new asset in which the investment has been made is transferred within a period
of three years from the date of its purchase or construction, the amount of capital gains tax exempted earlier
would become chargeable to tax as long term capital gains in the year in which such new asset is
58
transferred. Similarly, if the Bondholder purchases within a period of two years or constructs within a period
of three years after the date of transfer of capital asset, another residential house (other than the new asset
referred above), then the original exemption will be taxed as capital gains in the year in which such
residential house is purchased or constructed.
e) Under Section 195 of Income Tax Act, income tax shall be deducted from any sum payable to NonResidents on long term capital gain or short term capital gain arising on sale and purchase of Bonds at the
rate specified in the Finance Act of the relevant year or the rate or rates of the income tax specified in an
agreement entered into by the Central Government under section 90, or an agreement notified by the Central
Government under section 90A, as the case may be. In case the tax is deducted at the rate as specified under
the relevant agreement entered into by the Central Government under section 90 then it shall be mandatory
for the subscribers of such Bonds to furnish their Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 10F in format
as prescribed by CBDT failing which income tax shall be deducted at the rate specified in the Finance Act of
the relevant year.
f) The income by way of short term capital gains or long term capital gains (not covered under Section 10(38)
of the Act) realized by Foreign Institutional Investors on sale of security in the Company would be taxed at
the following rates as per Section 115AD of the Income Tax Act, 1961:
Short term capital gains - 30% (plus applicable surcharge and education cess); and
Long term capital gains - 10% without cost of indexation (plus applicable surcharge and education
cess)
As per section 90(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the provisions of the Act, would not prevail over the
provision of the tax treaty applicable to the non-resident to the extent that such tax treaty provisions are more
beneficial to the non resident. Thus, a non resident can opt to be governed by the beneficial provisions of an
applicable tax treaty. However, to avail the above mentioned benefit of the applicable tax treaty the Foreign
Institutional Investors has to mandatorily furnish its Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 10F in
format as prescribed by CBDT failing which the benefit of applicable tax treaty would not be extended.
g) However under section 196D(2), no deduction of tax shall be made from any income, by way of capital gain
arising from the transfer of securities referred to in Section 115AD, payable to Foreign Institutional
Investors.
3. Bonds held as Stock in Trade

THE INDIAN POWER SECTOR
Overview of the Indian Power Sector
The Indian power sector is one of the most diversified in the world. Sources for power generation range from
conventional sources like coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to other viable nonconventional sources like wind, solar and agriculture and domestic waste. Sustained growth of the power sector
is critical for achieving high economic growth targets of India. Governments focus on attaining 24x7 Power
for All has accelerated capacity addition in the country and at the same time it has resulted in increasing
competition.
The power sector has evolved from a dominantly public sector environment to a more competitive power sector
with many private producers. The performance of the power sector shows many positive features, especially
relating to the pace of addition to power generation. The capacity addition excluding Renewable Energy Sources
during the first 3 years of 12th Plan is 61014 MW which has not only exceeded the capacity addition of 54964
MW of the entire 11th Plan but also constitutes 68.9% of the total 12th Plan target of 88537 MW. The total
installed power generation capacity in India was 274,817.94 MW as of June 30, 2015. (Source: CEA Executive
Summary for June 2015, Central Electricity Authority, Ministry of Power, GoI). Electricity generation during
FY 2014-15 has crossed 1 trillion units and registers a growth of 8.4% (Source: CEA, MoP). The total
renewable capacity in the Country is as depicted in the chart below:
Source: CEA Executive Summary for June 2015, Central Electricity Authority, Ministry of Power, GoI
Further, the quest for energy independence, economic growth, and environmental sustainability increasingly
suggests the importance of renewable energy sources. GoI has set an ambitious target of renewable energy
capacity of 1,75,000 MW by 2022 comprising of 1,00,000 MW Solar, 60,000 MW Wind, 10,000 MW Biomass
and 5,000 MW Small Hydro Power (Source : MNRE).
Amidst the positive developments in the sector, the problems relating to fuel supply and also problems relating
to the financial viability of the operation of the distribution companies still remain to be resolved.

Demand for Electricity in India
Per Capita Electricity Consumption in India
The per capita consumption of power in India remains relatively low compared to other major economies. For
financial year 2014-15 the per capita consumption of electricity in India was 1010 kWh (provisional). (Source:
CEA Executive Summary for April 2015, Central Electricity Authority, Ministry of Power, GoI). The per capita
power consumption is low because large swaths of population are yet to get access to electricity; population to
the tune of ~28 crore is without access to power (Source: MoP).
The energy requirement shall go up once the latent demand is unlocked. GoI has also set a target to provide 24x7
Power for all by 2019 (Source: CEA; MoP).

BUSINESS
Overview
We are the largest power producer in India in terms of both installed capacity and generation, with aggregate
installed capacity of 44,398 MW (including 38,202 MW through directly owned units and 6,196 MW through
Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures) as on March 31, 2015. As on that date our capacity excluding renewable but
including capacity of Subsidiary and Joint Ventures represented market share of 18.77% of Indias total
installed capacity and we generated 260.58 billion units of power, representing market share of 24.95% of
Indias total power generation in fiscal 2015. (Source: CEA) In the calendar year 2014, we were ranked as the
number one independent power producer (IPP) and energy trader in the world, on the basis of asset worth,
revenues, profits and return on invested capital, according to a survey conducted by Platts.
As on the date of this Prospectus, our total installed capacity has increased to 45,548 MW of which 39,352 MW
is directly through our Company, which includes a total of 26 power stations, comprised of 18 coal-based
stations, 6 gas-based stations, 1 liquid fuel-based station and 1 hydro based station across India. In addition, we
also have 8 renewable energy projects. While our core business is the generation and sale of electricity in India,
we are a diversified and integrated player in the power sector, as we are also engaged in various other
complementary businesses, seeking to support our core business and to leverage our technical and operational
skills as well as our client and knowledge base in India and abroad. Our complementary activities, conducted in
some cases through our Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures, include project consultancy (including services such as
engineering, operation and maintenance management, project management, contracts and procurement
management, quality management, training and development), power trading, electricity distribution and
manufacture of equipment used in the power business. For information on our Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures,
see History and Certain Corporate Matters and Annexure A - Financial Information on pages 75 and
510, respectively,. We have also been allotted 8 (eight) coal blocks for captive use in power plants which are
under different phases of development.
Our Company is a Government company, which was conferred Navaratna status by the Government of India in
1997 and upgraded to Maharatna status in 2010. Our Companys shares are listed on BSE and NSE since
November 2004.
Strengths
Leadership position in the Indian power sector
In calendar year 2014, our Company ranked as the number one IPP and energy trader in the world, on the basis
of asset worth, revenues, profits and return on invested capital, according to a survey conducted by Platts. Our
Company ranked 431st overall on the Forbes Global 2000 list of the year 2015, and 379th among companies
worldwide in terms of profit and 616th among companies worldwide in terms of market value. We have also
received several other prestigious awards and recognitions over the years, from various industry and other
bodies. Our company's directly owned power stations are under Integrated Management System (IMS)
consisting (certification) of Quality Management System (ISO 9001), Environment Management System (ISO
14001) and Safety & Health management System (IS 18001).
We believe that we enjoy considerable economies of scale and other benefits, including strong brand value, as a
result of our leadership position, scale of operations and diversified presence across the Indian power sector.
Robust financial position
In fiscal 2015, our total revenue aggregated to ` 82,700.95 crore and ` 75,362.37 crore on consolidated
and standalone basis, respectively, including income from operations (net) aggregating to ` 80,622.04 crore and
` 73,246.05 crore on consolidated and standalone basis, respectively, and our profit after tax was ` 9,986.34
crore and ` 10,290.86 crore, on consolidated and standalone basis, respectively. In the quarter ended June 30,
2015, as per our unaudited limited review results for that period, our total income from operations (net) was `
17,084.58 crore, including income from net sales (net of electricity duty) of ` 17,018.69 crore and our net profit
after tax was ` 2,135.35 crore. As on March 31, 2015, our debt to equity ratio was 1.25 on a consolidated basis
and 1.05 on a standalone basis, our debt service coverage ratio was 2.27 on a consolidated basis and 2.44 on a
standalone basis, and our interest service coverage ratio was 5.54 on a consolidated basis and 6.72 on a
standalone basis.
64
We believe that our strong financial position allows us considerable flexibility as to our plans for our future
growth, including in terms of our ability to make investments in business diversification, research and
development, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, as well as constituting a competitive
advantage and entry barrier in the Indian power sector, vis--vis other players. In particular, we believe that our
strong financial ratios and credit ratings enable us to have ready access to domestic and international credit
markets. Our Maharatna status (and previously, our Navaratna status) is also based on our qualification as per
certain prescribed financial criteria (i.e., including our track record of net profit as well as our net worth and
turnover).
Government support
The President of India acting through the MoP is the Promoter of our Company. In addition, we are one of only
seven companies that have been granted Maharatna status by the GoI. The grant of Maharatna status by the GoI
in May 2010, further to Navaratna status having been granted to us in 1997, provides our Company with an
appreciable degree of financial and operational flexibility.
We believe that we derive a strategic advantage from our strong relationship with the Central and various State
Governments as well as State-owned utilities. In particular, we believe that government support has been critical
in securing the settlement of outstanding dues owed to us by the various SEBs in the past (i.e., prior to the onetime settlement entered into in 2002 by way of tripartite agreements executed for various States, among the
Government, the respective State power utilities and RBI). As a Government company, we also have the benefit
of Government-appointed Directors on our Board, with each of our Directors possessing several years of
industry and management experience, key industry relationships and professional qualifications as well as other
credentials.
Long-term agreements for coal and gas supply as well as for sale of electricity, providing cash flow visibility
We believe that our long-term fuel supply contracts, including for coal, natural gas and re-gasified liquefied
natural gas, help us to generate power at competitive prices by allowing greater predictability and better
planning of fuel supplies.
Further, we believe that our long-term contracts for sale of energy provide us with an appreciable degree of cash
flow visibility and financial stability, therefore, allow us to effectively plan for our future growth and
diversification along the power value chain.
Effective project implementation and risk management, including through investment in technology
We have an integrated web-based collaborative Project Monitoring Centre, set up in 2010 for facilitation of fasttrack project implementation, monitoring key project milestones and consolidation and resolution of projectrelated issues. We also have an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform to monitor and
control critical project activities across functions such as engineering, contracts, finance and execution. Our ERP
platform, deployed through a centralized data center at Noida with a disaster recovery center at Hyderabad,
includes modules that automate business processes and provide business intelligence on a real-time basis. In
addition, we rely on a 3-tier Integrated Project Management Control System (IPMCS), which integrates
engineering management, contract management and construction management control centres and addresses all
stages of project implementation from concept to commissioning, with the objective of ensuring effective
resource utilization, reliability, monitoring of time and cost and reduction in our average implementation time
(i.e., the period between the award of the boiler, turbine and generator contracts and unit commissioning). The
Project Monitoring Centre, ERP and IPMCS also act as decision support systems for our management, based on
a holistic approach towards project implementation. We also maintain a communication network between our
sites and corporate office to enable smooth conduct of business transactions and management information
systems.
We have also taken measures to institutionalize our risk management process, by implementing an enterprise
risk management framework. In FY 2008-09, we had constituted Enterprise Risk Management Committee
which was responsible for identifying and reviewing risks and formulating strategies for risk mitigation. On
November 28, 2014, this committee was substituted by another committee namely Risk Management
Committee of Board of Directors. The Risk Management Committee finalizes risk assessment under Risk
65
Management Framework, informs the Board about risk assessment and actions required to be taken or already
taken for mitigating the risks.
Skilled human resources and employee development
We believe that our employees possess a level of competence and commitment that provides us with a key
competitive advantage. Our senior executives have extensive experience in our industry and many of them have
been with us for a significant portion of their careers. In particular, we believe that our whole-time Directors,
namely, Mr. Anil Kumar Jha who is Director (Technical) and also holds additional charge of Chairman and
Managing Director, Mr. Kulamani Biswal, Director (Finance), Mr. Umesh Prasad Pani, Director (Human
Resources), Mr. Subhash Chandra Pandey, Director (Projects), and Mr. Kaushal Kishore Sharma who is
Director (Operations) have contributed significantly to our growth and will continue to do so going forward. The
charge of Director (Commercial) is presently held by Director (Human Resources) due to resignation of Mr. I.J.
Kapoor upon being appointed a member of the Appellete Tribunal of Electricity.
Competence building, commitment building, culture building and systems building are the 4 building blocks on
which our human resources systems are based, and our human resources vision is to enable our people to be a
family of committed world class professionals. We have adopted a people-first approach and believe that our
continuing initiatives have strengthened our identity as a preferred employer. Our Company continues to win
laurels in various fields and has been adjudged as the best company to work for 2015 in the Public Sector
category and also rated as the best company to work in Energy, Oil and Gas Industry, in a study carried out by
Great Place to Work and Economic Times.
Commitment towards corporate social responsibility
Our spirit of caring and sharing is embedded in its mission statement. We have a comprehensive Resettlement &
Rehabilitation (R&R) policy covering community development (CD) activities which has been revised and
updated from time to time. CD activities in green field area are initiated as soon as project is conceived and
there after extensive community / peripheral development activities are taken up along with the project
development. Separate CSR community Development Policy, formulated in July 2004 and Sustainability Policy
have been combined and revised in 2014-15 as NTPC Policy for CSR & Sustainability in line with Companies
Act 2013. It covers a wide range of activities including implementation of key programmes to support
physically challenged and economically marginalized sections of society through a 'NTPC Foundation' a trust
of NTPC.
CSR & Sustainability programs undertaken by us include activities specified in Schedule VII of the Companies
Act 2013 & rules made there under and any other activity for benefit of community at large.Focus areas of our
CSR & Sustainability activities are Health, Sanitation, Drinking Water, Education, Capacity Building, Women
Empowerment, Social Infrastructure Development, support to Physically Challenged Person (PCPs), and
activities contributing towards Environment Sustainability.
We have enhanced our allocation for CSR and Sustainable Development activities to 2% of the average of net
profit of previous 3 years with effect from financial year 2014-15. During the financial year 2014-15, an amount
of ` 205.18 crore was incurred on CSR and sustainable development by the Company.
We commit ourselves to contribute to the society, discharging our Corporate Social Responsibilities through
initiatives that have positive impacts on society at large, especially the community in the neighborhood of our
operations by improving the quality of life of the people, promoting inclusive growth and environmental
sustainability"
We also participated in clarion call on Swachh Vidyalaya Abhiyan by our Hon'ble Prime Minister and took
up construction of about 24,000 toilets in government schools covering 17 states and 83 districts across the
country. We have joined Global Compact, a United Nations initiative, and are committed to following its
principles in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption. We also have a
dedicated environment management group at each power station. We have set up the Centre for Power
Efficiency and Environmental Protection for greenhouse gas reduction, improvement in efficiency and
reliability in local conditions at our power stations, and have undertaken an afforestation initiative and taken
steps for environmentally friendly and sustainable extraction and utilization or disposal of fly ash at our power
stations.
66
Strong corporate governance

We believe that corporate governance, vigilance mechanisms and transparency to stakeholders are critical to
improving our efficiency and quality of decision making. In addition to complying with the corporate
governance provisions of the listing agreements that our Company has entered into with BSE and NSE, we have
set up a Vigilance Department headed by the Chief Vigilance Officer, who reports to the Central Vigilance
Commission as well as our Board. We also have a Fraud Prevention Policy in place, and have signed an
integrity pact with Transparency International, India in December 2008, to bring about more transparency in our
public procurement process (pursuant to which we implement the integrity pact for contracts of value exceeding
` 10 crore), and engage 2 independent External Monitors nominated by the Central Vigilance Commission for
contracts of value exceeding ` 100 crore. We have received a number of corporate governance related awards
and recognitions in recent years.
Customer focus
We have implemented a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) program, as a part of which we provide
support services to customers, such as technical and managerial training for skill enhancement, technical
services for efficiency and performance improvement in our customers areas of operation. In order to receive
feedback from customers, we have also implemented a customer satisfaction index model.
We believe that our diversified presence across the power value chain also allows us to provide a wide range of
services to our customers and to leverage our existing competencies and customer relationships to expand our
business offerings and customer relationships in other areas, on an on-going basis.
Strategies
Focus on market leadership and opportunities for organic and inorganic growth
We seek to continue to increase our generating capacity to maintain and grow our business and remain the
largest Indian power producer. For the Twelfth Plan period, our target is to add 11,920 MW capacity. We have
prepared a long-term corporate plan with a target of installed capacity of 128,000 MW by 2032, with a
diversified fuel mix comprising 56% coal, 16% gas, 11% nuclear, 8% hydro and 9% renewable energy sources.
With non-fossil fuel based generation capacity constituting 28% of our portfolio we are moving towards carbon
free energy sources, and our coal-based capacity is being increasingly based on high-efficient-low-emission
technologies such as supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies of our machinery at our power stations.
In this relation, in particular, we seek to expand our presence in renewable energy projects and also to develop a
portfolio of generation assets in international markets. With this objective, we are pursuing several projects that
are in various stages of development and are also updating our contracting, engineering and other processes and
exploring opportunities for forward and backward integration and organic as well as inorganic growth across the
power value chain.
Pursue fuel security and diversify fuel mix
We believe that fuel security and a diversified fuel mix are critical to a power generation company. Accordingly,
we seek to continue pursuing our fuel requirements through a multi-pronged strategy of procuring fuel through
long-term contracts, short-term or spot purchases and through developing domestic coal mines and partnering
for development of fuel transportation infrastructure, as well as pursuing oil and gas exploration. Our overall
objective in this regard is to ensure better control, greater security and reliability of fuel supply as well as
developing and expanding diversified sources of fuel that will reduce our exposure to cyclicality or downturns
in specific geographical or market segments and sub-segments as well as our dependence on any specific fuel
sources or any given large-scale power generation projects. We have also been allotted 8 (eight) coal blocks for
captive use in power plants which are under different phases of development.
We are progressively diversifying our fuel mix, including through development of renewable energy projects
such as hydropower, wind and solar energy projects, and other non-renewable projects such as nuclear power
projects. Going forward, we seek to gradually decrease our reliance on fossil fuel sources of generation.
Adopt advanced technologies and focus on research and development
67
To keep abreast of global technological advances in power generation and to sustain and enhance our
operational efficiency, we have developed a long-term technology roadmap for the introduction of highefficiency, clean technologies and equipment. We have already inducted supercritical technology and are in
the process to introduce ultra supercritical technology at our new project stations. Under Government of India
mission, NTPC, IGCAR and BHEL are jointly developing Advance Ultra Supercritical Technology
indigenously. We also seek to use advanced technologies in the renovation and modernization of our aging
power stations. The overall objective is to develop and leverage our technological and engineering competencies
in order to expand our product and service offerings as well as customer relationships across the power value
chain.
We seek to continue applied research to improve the performance of our power stations, through investment in
research and development initiatives NTPC as the leading power utility of the country has assigned 1% of PAT
for R&D activities. Company has focused its research efforts to address the major concerns of the sector as well
as the futuristic technology requirements of the sector. In this effort, company has established NTPC Energy
Technology Research Alliance (NETRA) as state-of-the-art centre for research, technology development and
scientific services in the domain of electric power to provide scientific support to our generating power stations,
with a focus on areas such as new and renewable energies including solar thermal, solar PV, geothermal, waste
heat recovery, waste and water management, climate Change, artificial intelligence and robotic based systems.
NETRA has networked with National Institutes like Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore, C-DAC, NML, CSIR labs, IOCL R&D, CPRI and Geological Survey of India, among others, and
international institutes like DLR Cologne, Germany and ISE Fraunhofer for collaborative research in the above
areas.
projects in future (Renewable Projects). The Government of Andhra Pradesh has, for the 1,000 MW solar
photovoltaic project, identified 7,554.53 acres of land in Anantpur district. The transmission and evacuation
infrastructure for the Anantpur Project would be provided by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and is
expected to completed within a period of one-two year. We adopted super critical technologies in the year 2004.
Further, we adopted ultra super critical technologies for our 1,320 MW (660x2) project at Khargone thermal
power plant, which may result in saving of 154 kcal in station heat rate.

Power Generation Technologies and Processes

A summary of the power generation technologies and processes followed at our coal, gas, hydroelectric and
solar power stations is set out below:
Coal-Based Power Stations
Coal-Based Power Stations. Our coal-based power stations employ Pulverized Coal Combustion (PCC)
technology, which utilizes heat energy released by combustion of pulverized coal in a boiler to create steam at
high pressures and temperatures. The steam drives a turbine, which, in turn, rotates an alternator to produce
electricity. PCC technology can be bifurcated into subcritical and supercritical PCC technology. The
technologies differ principally in the pressure and temperature at which steam is produced in the boiler. The
pressure and temperature of steam in a supercritical plant are significantly higher than in a subcritical plant.
Supercritical technology necessitates use of advanced materials for the equipment that processes and utilizes the
steam. However, supercritical plants are more efficient compared to subcritical plants, requiring less coal than
subcritical plants to generate the same amount of electricity. In addition, supercritical plants are envisaged to
emit less pollutants than subcritical plants. We plan to employ supercritical and ultra supercritical technology
more in the future.
Coal Handling Plants. Most of our coal-based power stations receive coal from mines through dedicated
railways owned and operated by us. The coal handling plants receive coal, crush it to the required size and feed
it to the boiler coal pulverisers.
Boilers. Our boiler plants have coal pulverizers to grind coal into a finer size before it is fed to the boiler
furnace. The boilers are enclosures encased in tubes filled with flowing water. As the boiler furnace heats, water
flowing in the boiler tubes is converted into high pressure and high temperature steam, which is conveyed to the
turbine through steam pipelines.
Steam Turbines. Steam produced in the boiler drives steam turbines, making the turbines rotors rotate at high
speeds.
Alternators. Alternators are coupled to the steam turbines and rotate with the turbines rotors. The alternators
convert the energy generated by the rotation of the turbines rotors into electricity.
Step-up Transformers. Step-up transformers step up the voltage of generated electricity before it is fed to the
grids. Transmission of electricity is done at very high voltage to minimize energy losses in the transmission
lines.

Gas-Based Power Stations

Gas-Based Power Stations. Our gas-based power stations employ Combined Cycle Gas Turbine technology, in
which independent units of the gas turbine and the steam turbine are integrated. The energy for electricity
generation under this technology comes from the combustion of the gas fuel. Hot gas formed by combustion of
fuel drives a gas turbine, which, in turn, rotates an alternator to produce electricity. In the open cycle mode of
operation, exhaust gas from the gas turbine is released to the atmosphere. In the combined cycle mode of
operation, exhaust gas, which would have been wasted and has no marketable value, is fed to a heat recovery
boiler, which produces steam to drive a steam turbine, which rotates another alternator to produce additional
electricity.
Gas Turbines. Each gas-based power station consists principally of an air compressor, a combustor and a
turbine. Air is drawn in from the atmosphere and compressed before it is fed into the combustor. Gas fuel,
which we draw from gas pipelines, burns in the combustor in the presence of compressed air from the
compressor. The mixture of high temperature and high pressure hot gases produced in the combustor drives the
turbine. The turbines rotational energy rotates the alternator, which produces electricity. The voltage of the
electricity is stepped up through a transformer before it is fed to the grids.
Heat Recovery Boilers. Exhaust gas of gas-based power stations loses all pressure in the gas turbine, but remains
very hot. Residual heat is recovered in heat recovery boilers to generate steam.
Steam Turbines. Steam generated in the heat recovery boilers is used to generate additional electricity through
steam turbines and separate alternators. The voltage of the electricity is stepped-up through transformers before
it is fed to the grids.

Hydroelectric Power
In a hydroelectric power station, energy is harnessed from water by running it from a higher to a lower height
and, in the process, driving a hydro-turbine, which rotates an alternator to produce electricity. The process of
electricity generation in a hydroelectric powered power station is substantially the same as that of a coal-based
power station. However, the turbine in hydroelectric plants is driven by water rather than steam. Instead of a
boiler, hydroelectric plants utilize a water reservoir.

Solar Photovoltaic Power

In a solar photovoltaic power station, the direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity is achieved by using
semiconductor devices called solar cells inline with the principles of photo-electric effect. The power
generated using solar cells is direct current. For grid connected applications, the direct current so generated is
converted into alternating current using inverters. The output alternating current from the inverter is stepped up
using an inverter transformer and then connected to the grid.
Solar photovoltaic is a simple, reliable and environmental friendly technology but available only during the day
time. We expect that generation and use of solar power from solar photovoltaic power plants will reduce our
consumption of fossil fuels, thereby reducing our overall carbon dioxide emissions.
Insurance
All our Companys directly owned coal-fired, gas-fired and hydro electric power stations are covered by a
mega-risk policy. For projects under construction, separate insurance cover is taken by our contractors in
accordance with conditions specified in the construction contracts. Further, for solar power projects we have
taken standard fire and special perils policy.
73
Work Force
Competence building, commitment building, culture building and systems building are the 4 building blocks on
which our human resources systems are based, and our human resources vision is to enable our people to be a
family of committed world class professionals. We have received a number of prestigious human resources related awards and recognitions in recent years.
As on March 31, 2015, we had 24,067 employees, comprising 22,496 employees of our Company (comprised of
12,486 executives and 10,010 non-executives) and 1,571 employees of our Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. In
addition, we outsource certain peripheral activities as per plant requirements from time to time, by awarding job
contracts to various agencies.
The attrition rate of our executives during fiscal 2015 (including executive trainees and those posted in
Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures during fiscal 2015) was 1.35%.
Most of our non-executive workforce is unionized and, while we are involved in employee and labour related
litigation and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we believe that our relations with
our employees have been generally good and that we have not had any recent significant industrial incidents
such as strikes, lockouts or work stoppages resulting in any material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Manner and Modes of Payment

For Bonds held in electronic form:
No action is required on the part of Bondholders on the Maturity Date. Payment on the Bonds will be made to
those Bondholders whose name appears first in the register of beneficial owners maintained by the Depository,
on the Record Date. Our Companys liability to Bondholders for payment or otherwise will stand
extinguished from the Maturity Date or on dispatch of the amounts payable by way of principal and/or
interest to the Bondholders. Further, our Company will not be liable to pay any interest, income or
compensation of any kind accruing subsequent to the Maturity Date.
The Bondholders respective bank account details will be obtained from the Depository for payments.
Applicants are therefore advised to immediately update their bank account details as appearing on the
records of their DP. Failure to do so could result in delays in credit of payments to applicants at their sole
risk, and neither our Company, the members of the Syndicate, Trading Members of the Stock
Exchange(s), Escrow Collection Bank(s), SCSBs, Registrar to the Issue nor the Stock Exchanges will bear
any responsibility or liability for the same.
For Bonds held in physical form
The bank details will be obtained from the Registrar to the Issue for effecting payments.
152
Moreover, our Company, the Lead Managers and Registrar to the Issue will not be responsible for any
delay in receipt of credit of interest, refund or Maturity Amount so long as the payment process has been
initiated in time.
All payments to be made by our Company to the Bondholders will be made through any of the following modes:
Direct credit Applicants having bank accounts with the Refund Bank(s), as per the Demographic Details
received from the Depositories, will be eligible to receive Refunds through direct credit. Charges, if any, levied
by the Refund Bank(s) for the same would be borne by the Refund Bank.
National Electronic Clearing System (NECS) Payment of Refund shall be done through NECS for
Applicants having an account at any of the centres where such facility has been made available. This mode of
payment of Refunds would be subject to availability of complete bank account details including the MICR code
from the Depositories.
RTGS If the refund amount exceeds ` 200,000, the Investors have the option to receive refund through RTGS.
Charges, if any, levied by the refund bank(s) for the same would be borne by the Refund Bank. Charges, if any,
levied by the Investors bank receiving the credit would be borne by the Investor.
NEFT Payment of Refund will be undertaken through NEFT wherever an Applicants bank has been assigned
the IFSC which can be linked to a MICR code, if any, available to that particular bank branch. The IFSC will be
obtained from the website of the RBI as on a date immediately prior to the date of payment of Refund, duly
mapped with the MICR code. Wherever the Applicants have registered their MICR code and their bank account
number while opening and operating the beneficiary account, the same will be duly mapped with the IFSC of
that particular bank branch and the payment of Refund will be made to the Applicant through this method. If
NEFT is not operationally feasible, the payment of Refunds would be made through any one of the other modes
as discussed in the sections.
For all other applicants, including those who have not updated their bank particulars with the MICR code, the
Refund Orders will be dispatched through speed/registered post only to Applicants that have provided details of
a registered address in India. Such Refunds will be made by cheques, pay orders or demand drafts drawn on the
relevant Refund Bank and payable at par at places where Applications are received. Bank charges, if any, for
cashing such cheques, pay orders or demand drafts at other centres will be payable by the Applicants.
Printing of Bank Particulars on Interest Warrants
As a matter of precaution against possible fraudulent encashment of payment orders/warrants due to loss or
misplacement, the particulars of the Applicants bank account are mandatorily required to be given for printing
on the orders/warrants. Applications without these details are liable to be rejected. In relation to Bonds applied
for and held in dematerialized form, these particulars would be taken directly from the Depositories. In case of
Bonds held in physical form on account of rematerialization, Applicants are advised to submit their bank
account details with our Company or the Registrar to the Issue at least 7 calendar days prior to the Record Date,
failing which the orders/warrants will be dispatched to the postal address (in India) of the Bondholder as
available in the register of beneficial owners maintained by the Depository, at the sole risk of the Bondholder.
Bank account particulars will be printed on the orders/warrants which can then be deposited only in the account
specified.
Record Date
The record date for payment of interest on the Bonds or the Maturity Amount shall be the date falling 15 days
prior to the relevant Coupon/Interest Payment Date on which interest amount or the Redemption Dates/Maturity
Dates for each Series of Bonds on which the Maturity Amount is due and payable under the terms of the

In respect of Bonds held in the dematerialized form, transfers of the Bonds may be effected, only through the
Depositories where such Bonds are held, in accordance with the Depositories Act and/or rules as notified by the
Depositories from time to time. The Bondholder shall give delivery instructions containing details of the
prospective purchaser's DP's account to his DP. If a prospective purchaser does not have a demat account, the

send the Consolidated Certificate to our Company or to such persons as may be notified by our Company from
time to time.
The transferee(s) should ensure that the transfer formalities are completed prior to the Record Date,
failing which the interest and/or Maturity Amount for the Bonds will be paid to the person whose name
appears in the Register of Bondholders maintained by the Depositories. In such cases, any claims will be
settled inter se between the parties and no claim or action will be brought against our Company or the
Registrar to the Issue.

by investors to a public issue of their debt securities with an online payment facility (Direct Online Application
Mechanism). In this regard, SEBI has, through the 2012 SEBI Circular, directed recognized stock exchanges in

Direct Online Applications, respectively.

168
Additional/Multiple Applications
For purposes of Allotment of Bonds in the Issue, Applications will be grouped based on the PAN, i.e.,
Applications under the same PAN will be grouped together and treated as one Application. 2 or more
Applications will be deemed to be multiple Applications if the sole or first applicant is one and the same. For the
sake of clarity, 2 or more applications shall be deemed to be a multiple Application for the aforesaid purpose if
the PAN number of the sole or the first applicant is one and the same.
An Applicant is allowed to make one or more Applications for the Bonds, subject to a minimum Application
size of 5 Bonds (` 5,000) (individually or collectively, across all Series of Bonds) and in multiples of 1 Bond (`

Application size will be deemed as an invalid application and shall be rejected. Please note that multiple
Applications by an Applicant being an individual or the karta of an HUF aggregating to a value exceeding ` 10
lakh shall deem such Applicant to be a Category III Applicant and all such Applications shall be grouped in the
Category III Portion, for the purpose of determining the basis of Allotment to such Applicant. Applications
made by any person in individual capacity and in capacity as a karta of an HUF and/or as second or third
Applicant, as the case may be, in case of Applications made in joint names will not be treated as multiple
Applications. Moreover, a separate Application can be made in respect of each scheme of an MF and such

For ASBA Applications submitted directly to the SCSBs, the relevant SCSB will block an amount in the ASBA

The Application Amount will remain blocked in the ASBA Account until approval of the Basis of Allotment
and consequent transfer of the amount to the Public Issue Account(s), or until withdrawal/failure of the Issue or

a) Advance against depreciation (AAD) was an element of tariff provided under the Tariff
Regulations for 2001-04 and 2004-09 to facilitate debt servicing by the generators since it was
considered that depreciation recovered in the tariff considering a useful life of 25 years is not
adequate for debt servicing. Though this amount is not repayable to the beneficiaries, keeping in
view the matching principle, and in line with the opinion of the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC)
of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), this was treated as deferred revenue to
the extent depreciation chargeable in the accounts is considered to be higher than the depreciation
recoverable in tariff in future years. Since AAD is in the nature of deferred revenue and does not
constitute a liability, it has been disclosed in this note separately from shareholders' funds and
liabilities.
b) The balance of AAD as at 31st March 2014 was reviewed considering the accounting policy no.
M.2 and excess of depreciation charged in the books over the depreciation recovered in tariff,
amounting to ` 208.32 crore has been recognised as prior period sales (Note 27).
c) In line with significant accounting policy no. M.2, an amount of ` 75.03 crore (previous year `
16.05 crore) has been recognized during the year from the AAD and included in energy sales (Note
22).
d) Foreign exchange rate variation (FERV) on foreign currency loans and interest thereon is
recoverable from/payable to the customers in line with the Tariff Regulations. Keeping in view the

proponent afresh in accordance with the law and the judgment of the NGT and for referring the matter to the Expert Appraisal
Committee ("Committee") for its re-scrutiny, which shall complete the process within six months from the date of NGT order. NGT
also directed that the environmental clearance shall be kept in abeyance and the Company shall maintain status quo in relation to the
project during the period of review by the Committee or till fresh order is passed by the MoEF, whichever is earlier. The Company
filed an appeal challenging the NGT order before the Honble Supreme Court of India which stayed the order of the NGT and the

ordered that no further construction shall be undertaken in the projects under consideration until further orders, which included the
hydro project of the Company. In the proceedings, Honble Supreme Court is examining to allow few projects which have all
clearances which includes the project of the Company where the work has been stopped. Aggregate cost incurred on the project up

b) Joint venture operations:

i) The Company along-with some public sector undertakings has entered into Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) with GOI for
three oil exploration blocks namely KG-OSN-2009/1, KG-OSN-2009/4 and AN-DWN-2009/13 under VIII round of New
Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP VIII) with 10% participating interest (PI) in each of the blocks.
320
In the case of AN-DWN-2009/13, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (GSPC) submitted notice for withdrawl from the
block subsequent to completion of mimimum work programme (MWP) and M/s Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC)
decided to acquire 10% PI of GSPC. The Company alongwith consortium partners has decided to relinquish the block ANDWN-2009/13 and ONGC (the operator) has submitted an application to Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) in this
regard.
Based on the un-audited statement of the accounts for the above blocks forwarded by ONGC, the operator, the Companys
share in respect of assets and liabilities as at 31st March 2015 and expenditure for the year are given below:

The exploration activities in block KG-OSN-2009/4 were suspended w.e.f. 11.01.2012 due to non-clearance by the Ministry
of Defence, GOI. Subsequently, DGH vide letter dated 29th April 2013 has informed ONGC that the block is cleared
conditionally wherein block area is segregated between No Go zone, High-risk zone and Permitted zone.As the permitted area
is only 38% of the total block area the consortium has submitted proposal to DGH for downward revision of MWP of initial
exploration period.
ii) Exploration activities in the block AA-ONN-2003/2 were abandoned in January 2011 due to unforeseen geological conditions
& withdrawal of the operator. Attempts to reconstitute the consortium to accomplish the residual exploratory activities did not
yield result. In the meanwhile, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas demanded in January 2011 the cost of unfinished
minimum work programme from the consortium with NTPCs share being USD 7.516 million. During the year, provision in
this respect has been updated to ` 58.64 crore from ` 53.64 crore along with interest in the previous year. The Company has
sought waiver of the claim citing force majeure conditions at site leading to discontinuation of exploratory activities.
The Company has accounted for expenditure of (-) ` 0.77 crore for the year 2014-15 (previous year ` 0.01 crore) towards the
establishment expenses of M/s Geopetrol International, the operator to complete the winding up activities of the Block. The
Companys share in the assets and liabilities as at 31st March 2015 and expenditure for the year is as under:

a) Claims against the company not acknowledged as debts in respect of:

(i) Capital Works
Some of the contractors for supply and installation of equipments and execution of works at our projects have lodged claims on
the Company for ` 7,660.88 crore (previous year ` 4,134.85 crore) seeking enhancement of the contract price, revision of
work schedule with price escalation, compensation for the extended period of work, idle charges etc. These claims are being
contested by the Company as being not admissible in terms of the provisions of the respective contracts.
The Company is pursuing various options under the dispute resolution mechanism available in the contracts for settlement of
these claims. It is not practicable to make a realistic estimate of the outflow of resources if any, for settlement of such claims
pending resolution.
(ii) Land compensation cases
In respect of land acquired for the projects, the erstwhile land owners have claimed higher compensation before various
authorities/courts which are yet to be settled. Against such cases, contingent liability of ` 312.37 crore (previous year ` 393.40
crore) has been estimated.
(iii) Fuel Suppliers
Pending resolution of the issues with fuel companies, an amount of ` 567.22 crore (previous year ` 647.33 crore) towards
surface transportation charges, customs duty on service margin on imported coal, etc. has been estimated by the Company as
contingent liability.
(iv) Others
In respect of claims made by various State/Central Government departments/Authorities towards building permission fee,
penalty on diversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use, non agricultural land assessment tax, water royalty etc. and by
others, contingent liability of ` 896.34 crore (previous year ` 1,088.23 crore) has been estimated.
(v) Possible Reimbursement
The contingent liabilities referred to in (i) above, include an amount of` 1,172.56 crore (previous year ` 994.83 crore) relating
to the hydro power project stated in Note 15 (b) - Other non current assets, for which Company envisages possible
reimbursement from GOI in full. In respect of balance claims included in (i) and in respect of the claims mentioned at (ii)
above, payments, if any, by the company on settlement of the claims would be eligible for inclusion in the capital cost for the
purpose of determination of tariff as per CERC Regulations subject to prudence check by the CERC. In case of (iii), the
estimated possible reimbursement by way of recovery through tariff as per Regulations is ` 423.36 crore (previous year `
637.82 crore).
b) Disputed Tax Matters
Disputed income tax/Sales tax/Excise and other tax matters pending before various Appellate Authorities amount to ` 4,161.87
crore (previous year ` 1,907.49 crore). Many of these matters were disposed off in favour of the Company but are disputed
before higher authorities by the concerned departments. In respect of disputed cases, the company estimate possible
reimbursement of ` 1,508.46 crore (previous year ` 390.37 crore).
c) Others
Other contingent liabilities amount to ` 309.36 crore (previous year ` 363.49 crore).
Some of the beneficiaries have filed appeals against the tariff orders of the CERC. The amount of contingent liability in this
regard is not ascertainable.

sampling in the Coal Supply Agreement (CSA), 2012 and amendment to CSA, 2009 which have since been signed with subsidiaries
of Coal India Ltd (CIL).

analysis results for the three month period starting October/November 2013 to the supplies during the past period from
October/November 2012 till start of third party sampling. On this basis, settlement with some of the CIL subsidiaries has been
reached and matter has been taken up with other CIL subsidiaries for early resolution. Following the principles approved by the
Board, against the disputed billed amount of ` 4,102.87 crore, during the year the Company paid ` 1,438.69 crore and provided `
1,440.39 crore. In respect of the balance disputed billed amount of ` 1,223.79 crore as at 31st March 2014, taking into account
settlements already reached with some of the CIL subsidiaries, an amount of ` 1,055.14 crore (previous year ` 2,531.10 crore) has
been estimated as contingent liability with corresponding possible reimbursements from the beneficiaries {Refer Note 52 (a)(iii)}

paid/provided as above have been recognized.

for three exploration blocks namely KG-OSN-2009/1, KG-OSN-2009/4 and AN-DWN-2009/13 under VIII round of New
Based on the un-audited statement of the accounts for the above blocks forwarded by M/s Oil & Natural Gas Corporation
Ltd.(ONGC), the operator, the Companys share in respect of assets and liabilities as at 31st March 2014 and expenditure for

The expolaration activities in block KG-OSN-2009/4 were suspended w.e.f. 11.01.2012 due to non-clearance by the Ministry
of Defence, GOI. Subsequently, DGH vide letter dated 29th April 2013 has informed ONGC that the block is cleared
conditionally wherein block area is segregated between No Go zone, High-risk zone and Permitted zone.As the permitted area
is only 38% of the total block area the consortium has submitted proposal to DGH for downward revision of MWP of initial
exploration period.
In case of AN-DWN-2009/13, Gujarat State Petoleum Corporation (GSPC) has submitted notice for withdrawal from the
block subsequent to completion of MWP and ONGC has decided to acquire 10% PI of GSPC.
ii) Exploration activities in the block AA-ONN-2003/2 were abandoned in January 2011 due to unforeseen geological conditions
& withdrawal of the operator. Attempts to reconstitute the consortium to accomplish the residual exploratory activities did
not yield result. In the meanwhile, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas demanded in January 2011 the cost of unfinished
minimum work programme from the consortium with NTPCs share being USD 7.516 million. During the year provision in
this respect has been updated to ` 53.64 crore from ` 46.27 crore along with interest in the previous year. The Company has
sought waiver of the claim citing force majeure conditions at site leading to discontinuation of exploratory activities.
The Company has accounted for expenditure of ` 0.01 crore for the year 2013-14 towards the establishment expenses of M/s
Geopetrol International, the operator to complete the winding up activities of the Block. The Companys share in the assets
and liabilities as at 31st March 2014 and expenditure for the year is as under:

32. Government of India, Ministry of Power vide its letters F.No.6/1/2007-Fin.(Vol.VIII) dated 5th February 2013 and 29th March 2013
directed Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) to release payment towards settlement of dues of erstwhile
Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking (DESU) amounting to ` 835.97 crore as principal and ` 1,684.11 crore as interest to the
company. Consequently, provision for doubtful debt of ` 835.97 crore has been written back (Note 22) and interest of ` 1,684.11
crore has been recognised as an exceptional item in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the year.
33. Vide gazette notification F no.22021/1/2008-CRC/II dated 30.12.2011 issued by Ministry of Coal (MoC), grading and pricing of noncoking coal was migrated from Useful Heat Value (UHV) to Gross Calorific Value (GCV) based system w.e.f. 1st January 2012.
The Coal Supply Agreements (CSAs) entered into by the Company were required to be amended to incorporate acceptable
procedures for sample collection, preparation, testing and analysis, to facilitate such migration, which are still pending. The
Company's Board of Directors approved payments to the coal companies based on the GCV based pricing system, and directed to
frame modalities for implementation of GCV based grading system. Accordingly, modalities were framed to effect joint sampling
and testing of coal at mine end/station end and future payments to coal companies. The above modalities were communicated to the
coal companies w.e.f. October/ November 2012, thereafter the Company released payments on the basis of GCV measured at station
end following the implementation of the said modalities since variation in the GCV of coal supplied and received at power stations
was noticed. The Company regularly informed coal companies about this variation which has not been accepted by them. The issue
has been taken up with the coal companies directly and through the MoP and MoC, GOI for resolution. Pending resolution of the
issue, difference between the amount billed by the coal companies and the amounts admitted by the company is disclosed as
contingent liability with corresponding possible reimbursements from the beneficiaries (Refer Note-50).
35. Disclosure as per Accounting Standard - 5 'Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting
Policies'
i) Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India through Circular no. 25/2012 dated 9th August 2012 has clarified that para
6 of Accounting Standard (AS) 11 and para 4 (e) of AS 16 shall not apply to a Company which is applying para 46-A of AS 11.
Accordingly, Company has modifed the related accounting policies. Consequently, exchange differences arising on
settlement/translation of foreign currency loans to the extent regarded as an adjustment to interest costs as per para 4 (e) of AS
16 and hitherto charged to Statement of Profit and Loss, have now been adjusted in the cost of related assets. As a result, profit
for the year ended 31st March 2013 is higher by ` 14.80 crore, fixed assets are higher by ` 173.56 crore and Deferred Income
from Foreign Currency Fluctuation is higher by` 158.76 crore.
ii) During the year, the Company reviewed its policy for accounting of carpet coal which was hitherto charged to the Statement of
Profit and Loss and capitalised the cost of carpet coal with the coal handling plant. Consequently, tangible assets and profit for
the year are higher by ` 20.36 crore.
iii) During the year, the Company has reviewed and modifed the accounting policy related to amortisation of other intangible assets
to bring more clarity. However, this does not have any impact on accounts for the year.
i) The amount of exchange differences (net) debited to the statement of profit & loss is `3.56 crore (previous year ` 19.66
crore).
ii) The amount of exchange differences (net) debited to the carrying amount of fixed assets is `1,056.01 crore (previous year `

29. The financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2011 were prepared as per then applicable, Schedule VI to the Companies
Act, 1956. Consequent to the notification of Revised Schedule VI under the Companies Act, 1956, the financial statements for the
year ended 31st March 2012 are prepared as per Revised Schedule VI. Accordingly, the previous year figures have also been
reclassified to conform to this years classification. The adoption of revised Schedule VI for previous year figures does not impact
recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements.
Certain amounts, which do not appear due to rounding off, are incorporated separately.
31. a)
Certain loans & advances and creditors in so far as these have since not been realised/discharged or adjusted are subject to
confirmation/reconciliation and consequential adjustment, which in the opinion of the management is not material.
b)
32. The coal price notification No 222021 /1/ 2008-CRC-UU dated 31.12.2011 issued by Ministry of Coal (MoC) proposed migration
from Useful Heat Value (UHV) to Gross Calorific Value (GCV) based pricing of coal, and also increased the coal prices. This was
superseded by notification dated 31.01.2012, partially rolling back the increase in coal prices. Various stakeholders including power
utilities and MOP have expressed concern on the switchover from existing UHV to GCV based pricing of coal, without having put in
place the prerequisite technical and legal framework. The issue is under deliberation at MOP and Central Electricity Authority with
MoC for an early resolution.
Pending resolution of the issues, stations are continuing to make payment and accounting of coal as per the pre-migrated system of
UHV based pricing of coal and the difference between the amounts billed by the coal companies and the payments made/accounted
for has been shown as contingent liability. Since fuel cost is a pass through component of tariff, the revision of price will not have
any adverse impact on the profits of the Company.
33. The levy of transit fee/entry tax/VAT on supplies of fuel to some of the power stations has been paid under protest as the matters are
subjudice at various courts. Probable demand for the period upto January 2012 has been included under contingent liabilities. In case
the Company gets refund / demand from fuel suppliers/tax authorities on settlement of these cases, the same will be passed on to
respective beneficiaries.
34. Disclosure as per Accounting Standard - 9 on 'Revenue Recognition'
Due to uncertainty of realisation in the absence of sanction by the GOI, the Companys share of net annual profits of one of the
stations taken over by the Company in June 2006 for the period 1st April 1986 to 31st May 2006 amounting to ` 115.58 crore

claims on the Company for ` 4,417.04 crore (previous year ` 3,485.85 crore) seeking enhancement of the contract price,
revision of work schedule with price escalation, compensation for the extended period of work, idle charges etc. These
claims are being contested by the Company as being not admissible in terms of the provisions of the respective contracts.

b) Joint Venture Operations:

Sharing Contracts (PSCs) with GOI for three exploration blocks namely KG- OSN-2009/1, KG-OSN2009/4 and AN-DWN-2009/13 under VIII round of New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP VIII) with
10% participating interest (PI) in each of the blocks.
Based on the un-audited statement of the accounts for the above blocks forwarded by M/s Oil & Natural
Gas Corporation Ltd., the operator, the Companys share in respect of assets and liabilities as at 31 st

ii) Subsequent to the withdrawal by the operator M/s Geopetrol International Inc. from block AA-ONN2003/2 wherein the Company has 40% PI, attempts to accomplish the residual exploratory activities by
reconstituting the consortium did not yield result. Some of the service providers have initiated legal
proceedings against the consortium for payment of their claims. The operator has rejected these claims
since they are not payable as per the terms of contract. Further, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons
(DGH) has communicated the cost of unfinished minimum work programme to the consortium with
Companys share being US $ 7.516 million (equivalent ` 33.99 crore). The Company has sought waiver
of the claim citing force-majeure conditions at site leading to suspension of exploratory activities. The
Company expects favourable decision and, hence no provision is considered necessary.
Based on the un-audited statement of the accounts forwarded by the operator, the Companys share in the
assets and liabilities as at 31st March 2011 and expenditure for the year is as under:

1. Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts in respect of:
(i) Capital Works
Some of the contractors for supply and installation of equipments and execution of works at our
projects have lodged claims on the Company for ` 3,485.85 crore (previous year ` 3,879.77
crore) seeking enhancement of the contract price, revision of work schedule with price
escalation, compensation for the extended period of work, idle charges etc. These claims are
being contested by the Company as being not admissible in terms of the provisions of the
respective contracts.
The company is pursuing various options under the dispute resolution mechanism available in the
contract for settlement of these claims. It is not practicable to make a realistic estimate of the
outflow of resources if any, for settlement of such claims pending resolution.
In respect of land acquired for the projects, the land losers have claimed higher compensation
before various authorities/courts which are yet to be settled. In such cases, contingent liability of
` 1,851.08 crore (previous year ` 1,786.25 crore) has been estimated.
(iii) Others
In respect of claims made by various State/Central Government departments/Authorities towards
building permission fees, penalty on diversion of agricultural land to non- agricultural use, Nala
tax, Water royalty etc. and by others, contingent liability of ` 1,246.62 crore (previous year
` 1,248.78 crore) has been estimated.
The contingent liabilities referred to in (i) above, includes an amount of ` 1,495.35 crore relating to
the hydro power project stated above , for which Company envisages possible reimbursement from
GOI in full. In respect of balance claims included in (i) and in respect of the claims mentioned at (ii)
503
above, payments, if any, by the company on settlement of the claims would be eligible for inclusion
in the capital cost for the purpose of determination of tariff as per CERC Regulations subject to
prudence check by the CERC. In case of (iii), the estimated possible reimbursement is ` 146.97 crore
2. Disputed Income Tax/Sales Tax/Excise Matters
Disputed Income Tax/Sales Tax/Excise matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities
amounting to ` 2,465.26 crore (previous year ` 2,292.41 crore) are disputed by the Company and
contested before various Appellate Authorities. Many of these matters are disposed off in favour of
the Company but are disputed before higher authorities by the concerned departments. In such cases,
the company estimated possible reimbursement of ` 1,793.36 crore (previous year ` 1,793.36 crore)
3. Others
Other contingent liabilities amounts to ` 398.74 crore (previous year ` 266.14 crore)
Some of the beneficiaries have filed appeals against the tariff orders of the CERC. The amount of
contingent liability in this regard is not ascertainable.

informed ONGC that the block is cleared conditionally wherein block area is segregated between No
Go zone, High-risk zone and Permitted zone. As the permitted area is only 38% of the total block area
the consortium has submitted proposal to DGH for downward revision of MWP of initial exploration
period.
ii) Exploration activities in the block AA-ONN-2003/2 were abandoned in January 2011 due to unforeseen
geological conditions & withdrawal of the operator. Attempts to reconstitute the consortium to

possible reimbursement from GOI in full. In respect of balance claims included in (i) and in respect of the claims mentioned at
(ii) above, payments, if any, by the company on settlement of the claims would be eligible for inclusion in the capital cost for
the purpose of determination of tariff as per CERC Regulations subject to prudence check by the CERC. In case of (iii), the
estimated possible reimbursement by way of recovery through tariff as per Regulations is ` 423.36 crore (previous year `
637.82 crore).

companies but are disputed before higher authorities by the concerned departments. In respect of disputed tax matters,
possible reimbursement of ` 2,430.71 crore (previous year ` 852.52 crore) is estimated.
(c) Others
Other contingent liabilities amount to` 914.22 crore (previous year ` 513.70 crore).

The expolaration activities in block KG-OSN-2009/4 were suspended w.e.f. 11.01.2012 due to nonclearance by the Ministry of Defence, GOI. Subsequently, DGH vide letter dated 29th April 2013 has
informed ONGC that the block is cleared conditionally wherein block area is segregated between No Go
zone, High-risk zone and Permitted zone. As the permitted area is only 38% of the total block area, the
consortium has submitted proposal to DGH for downward revision of MWP of initial exploration
period.
In case of AN-DWN-2009/13, Gujarat State Petoleum Corporation (GSPC) has submitted notice for
withdrawal from the block subsequent to completion of MWP and ONGC has decided to acquire 10%

respect has been updated to ` 53.64 crore from ` 46.27 crore along with interest in the previous year.
The Company has sought waiver of the claim citing force majeure conditions at site leading to
discontinuation of exploratory activities.

b)
34. The coal price notification No 222021 /1/ 2008-CRC-UU dated 31.12.2011 issued by Ministry of Coal (MoC) proposed migration
from Useful Heat Value (UHV) based to Gross Calorific Value (GCV) based pricing of coal, and also increased the coal prices.
This was superseded by notification dated 31.01.2012, partially rolling back the increase in coal prices. Various stakeholders
including power utilities and MOP have expressed concern on the switchover from existing UHV to GCV based pricing of coal,
without having put in place the prerequisite technical and legal framework. The issue is under deliberation at MOP and Central
Electricity Authority with MoC for an early resolution.
Pending resolution of the issues, stations are continuing to make payment and accounting of coal as per the pre-migrated system of
UHV based pricing of coal and the difference between the amounts billed by the coal companies and the payments
made/accounted for has been shown as contingent liability. Since, fuel cost is a pass through component of tariff, the revision of
price will not have any adverse impact on the profits of the Company.
35. The levy of transit fee/entry tax/VAT on supplies of fuel to some of the power stations has been paid under protest as the matters
are subjudice at various courts. In case the Company gets refund from fuel suppliers/tax authorities on settlement of these cases, the
same will be passed on to respective beneficiaries.

` 48.34 crore) has been transferred in the reserve during the year after netting of related/allocable cost of ` 16.29 crore (previous
year ` 9.67 crore) from the sale proceeds of the products.
36. Disclosure as per Accounting Standard - 9 on 'Revenue Recognition'

determined, amounting to ` 727.49 crore has been recognised as prior period sales.

beneficiaries as at 31st March 2010 amounting to ` 3,049.41 crore and ` 2,840.16 crore respectively

crore) seeking enhancement of the contract price, revision of work schedule with price escalation,
compensation for the extended period of work, idle charges etc. These claims are being contested

The Company is pursuing various options under the dispute resolution mechanism available in the
contract for settlement of these claims. It is not practicable to make a realistic estimate of the
outflow of resources if any, for settlement of such claims pending resolution.
In respect of land acquired for the projects, the land losers have claimed higher compensation
before various authorities/courts which are yet to be settled. In such cases, contingent liability of
` 1,851.08 crore (previous year ` 1,786.25 crore) has been estimated.

building permission fees, penalty on diversion of agricultural land to non- agricultural use, Nala
tax, Water royalty etc. and by others, contingent liability of ` 1,248.00 crore (previous year `
1,306.18 crore ) has been estimated.
The contingent liabilities referred to in (i) above, includes an amount of ` 1,495.35 crore relating
to the hydro power project stated in Note no. 11 above, for which Company envisages possible
reimbursement from GOI in full. In respect of balance claims included in (i) and in respect of the
claims mentioned at (ii) above, payments, if any, by the Company on settlement of the claims
would be eligible for inclusion in the capital cost for the purpose of determination of tariff as per
CERC Regulations subject to prudence check by the CERC. In case of (iii), the estimated possible
reimbursement is ` 146.97 crore (previous year ` 428.90 crore).

contested before various Appellate Authorities. Many of these matters are disposed off in favour of the
Company but are disputed before higher authorities by the concerned departments. In such cases, the
Company estimated possible reimbursement of ` 1,793.37 crore (previous year ` 1,793.37 crore).
3. Others
Some of the beneficiaries have filed appeals against the tariff orders of the CERC. The amount of
contingent liability in this regard is not ascertainable.
