Summary of the primary business of our Company
We are an integrated power solutions provider specialising in diesel generator sets (“DG sets”), medium speed large generators
(“MSLG”), and related services. Our comprehensive product range spans capacities from 7.5 kVA to 10,000 kVA, serving the
primary and standby power needs of varied industries. Leveraging our expertise, we expanded into the wind power sector in 2008
as an independent power producer and have since developed capabilities as an engineering, procurement, and construction
contractor, as well as an operation and maintenance service provider for balance of plant.
For further information, see “Our Business” beginning on page 229.
Summary of the generator set industry in which our Company operates
Standby power remains a vital part of India’s energy infrastructure, helping ensure operational continuity during power outages or
voltage fluctuations. Ongoing urbanisation, population growth, and expansion of residential, commercial, industrial, and
infrastructure projects have intensified the need for reliable backup power across the country. Despite ongoing improvements in
grid reliability, power disruptions remain a persistent concern across several regions in India. This has led to increased adoption of
DG sets, UPS systems, inverters, and battery storage solutions across diverse sectors such as commercial, manufacturing,
information technology and data centres, telecom, and infrastructure. (Source: F&S Report)
For further information, see “Industry Overview – Standby Power and DG Market” beginning on page 144.
Summary of the wind power industry in which our Company operates
India is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the renewable energy sector, with wind power playing a pivotal role in this
transformation. As of June 2025, the country has already installed ~52 GW of wind energy capacity. India has vast wind energy
potential of 1,164 GW at 150 metres above ground level (as per National Institute of Wind Energy), although it is concentrated in
five states of Rajasthan (24%), Gujarat (16%), Maharashtra (15%), Karnataka (15%), and Andhra Pradesh (11%). Additionally,
India’s long coastline and open terrains present opportunities to further explore both onshore and offshore wind potential. (Source:

18Risk Factors
Specific attention of the Bidders is invited to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 31 to have an informed view before making an
investment decision. Bidders are advised to read the risk factors carefully before taking an investment decision in the Offer. Set
forth below are the top 10 risk factors applicable to our Company, in their order of materiality that could cause actual results to
differ materially from our expectations:
1. We are significantly dependent on our Generator Set Business, which contributed 85.00%, 86.30%, and 82.79% of our revenue
from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any negative developments affecting our Generator Set Business
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
2. We rely on our business collaborations, including with Cummins for engines and alternators for our DG sets. Revenue from
sale of DG sets powered by Cummins engines accounted for 70.39%, 71.04% and 56.77% of our revenue from operations for
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Similarly, we rely on Hyundai for the supply of MSLG sets. Any supply disruption
from such partners could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
3. The independent power producer operations in our Wind Power Business which contributed 7.56%, 9.90% and 8.76% of our
total revenue from operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, rely on key relationships with OEMs to facilitate
supply of components and effective O&M services across most of our Operational Wind Power Projects, as well as for future
IPP developments. Any deterioration in these relationships, or performance or financial failure of our OEMs, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
4. We have historically relied, and may continue to rely, on Cummins India and our top five suppliers for a significant portion of
our materials and components. If these key suppliers fail to deliver the required quantities, meet delivery schedules, or adhere
to specified quality standards or technical specifications, our business operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
5. We are dependent on our power purchase agreements to sell power and generate our revenue from operations. Furthermore,
the terms of our PPAs may expose us to certain risks that may affect our future results of operations and cash flows.
6. Some of the land lease agreements for our wind power projects have shorter terms than the corresponding power purchase
agreements (“PPAs”) entered into for the respective projects. The expiry and non-renewal of such land lease agreements prior
to the end of the relevant PPA could potentially result in the premature termination of the corresponding PPA, which may have
a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
7. The performance of our Operational Wind Power Projects is significantly affected by seasonality, regulatory requirements,
and environmental and physical conditions, all of which are subject to variability and unpredictability. Any adverse changes
to these may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
8. We are exposed to credit risk from our customers and the recoverability of our trade receivables is subject to uncertainties.
Delays or defaults in payment by the customers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
9. Our Generator Set Business is heavily dependent on the performance of the diesel generator set market in southern India and
western India, particularly the markets in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and any adverse
changes in the conditions affecting these markets could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
10. If power evacuation facilities are not made available by the time our IPP power projects are ready to commence operations,
we may incur significant transmission costs or may be forced to back down from the grid, and our operations could be adversely
affected.

Our Company’s financial year commences on April 1 and ends on March 31 of the next year. Unless stated otherwise, all references
to a year in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are to a calendar year and references to the terms Fiscal or Fiscal Year or Financial
Year are to the 12 months ended March 31 of such year.
Unless stated otherwise or where the context otherwise requires, the financial information and financial ratios in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus is derived from the Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information of our Group comprises of the restated consolidated statement of assets and
liabilities as at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss (including
other comprehensive income), the restated consolidated statement of changes in equity, the restated consolidated statement of cash
flow, for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the summary statement of material
accounting policies and other explanatory notes, prepared in accordance with Ind AS and as per requirement of Section 26 of Part I
of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI ICDR Regulations, as amended and the Guidance Note on ‘Reports in Company
Prospectuses (Revised 2019)’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as amended from time to time.
For further information, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information” beginning on page 307.
There are significant differences between Ind AS, Indian GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not provide reconciliation
of its financial information to IFRS or US GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their
impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your own advisors
regarding such differences and their impact on our Company’s financial data. For details in connection with risks involving
differences between Ind AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS see “Risk Factors – Our Company has prepared financial statements under
Indian Accounting Standards. Certain differences exist between Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting guidance” on
page 69. The degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices, the Companies
Act, 2013, Ind AS and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and
practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are due to
rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal place and all percentage figures have been rounded
off to two decimal places. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources are rounded
off to other than two decimal points in their respective sources, such figures appear in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus as rounded-
off to such number of decimal points as provided in such respective sources.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, or ratios (excluding certain operational metrics) as set forth in “Risk
Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
beginning on pages 31, 229 and 384, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the
basis of amounts derived from our Restated Consolidated Financial Information, as applicable.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain Non-GAAP financial measures relating to our financial performance, namely EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, EBITDA
from generator sets business, EBITDA from wind power business, Net Debt / Equity, Net Debt / EBITDA, Return on Capital
Employed (“ROCE”), Return on Equity (“RoE”), Net Asset Value, Net Worth, Return on Net-worth, Net Asset Value per share
(“Non-GAAP Measures”), and certain other industry metrics and financial parameters have been included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus and are a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance
with, Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP. Further, these Non-GAAP measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or
liquidity under Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows,
26profit/ (loss) for the year or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity,
profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or US
GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures and other information relating to financial performance may not be computed on the
basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures
of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are not measures of operating performance or
liquidity defined by Ind AS. Such supplemental financial and operational information should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for an analysis of our Restated Consolidated Financial Information disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”,
“Other Financial Information” and “Risk Factors – We have included certain Non-GAAP Measures, industry metrics and key
performance indicators related to our operations and financial performance in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are subject
to inherent measurement challenges. These Non-GAAP Measures, industry metrics and key performance indicators may not be
comparable with financial, or industry-related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other
companies. Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool for investors
and there can be no assurance that there will not be any issues or such tools will be accurate going forward” on pages 384, 379
and 69, respectively.
Currency and Units of Presentation
All references to:
• “Rupees” or “₹” or “INR” or “Rs.” are to Indian Rupee, the official currency of the Republic of India;
• “US$” or “U.S. Dollars” or “USD” are to United States Dollars, the official currency of the United States of America;
• “EUR” or “€” are to Euro, the official currency of certain member states of the European Union;
• “AED” are to United Arab Emirates Dirham, the official currency of the United Arab Emirates; and
• “DKK” are to Danish Krone, the official currency of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
Our Company has presented certain numerical information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in “crores” units or in whole
numbers where the numbers have been too small to represent in crores. One crore represents 1,00,00,000, ten crore represents
10,00,00,000, hundred crore represents 1,00,00,00,000 and thousand crore represents 10,00,00,00,000. However, where any figures
that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources are expressed in denominations other than crores, such figures appear
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in such denominations as provided in the respective sources.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are due to
rounding off. All per share and percentage figures have been rounded off to one/ two decimal places. However, where any figures
may have been sourced from third-party industry sources, such figures may be rounded off to such number of decimal places as
provided in such respective sources.

methodologies in the industry in which business of our Company is conducted, and methodologies and assumptions may vary widely
among different industry sources. There can be no assurance that such third-party statistical, financial and other industry information

various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors – Industry information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus

28FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements contained in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding our
expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are “forward-looking statements”.
These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”,
“estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “seek to”, “shall”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “propose” “will”, “will continue”, “will pursue”
or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our expected financial condition, results of
operations, business, prospects, strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements whether made by us or any third parties in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on our current plans, estimates,
presumptions and expectations and 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, including but not limited to, regulatory changes
pertaining to the industry in which our Company has businesses and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully
implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and
political conditions, in India and globally, which have an impact on our business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal
policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates
or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and
changes in competition in our industry, incidence of natural calamities and/or acts of violence.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to,
the following:
1. We are significantly dependent on our Generator Set Business, which contributed 85.00%, 86.30%, and 82.79% of our revenue
from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any negative developments affecting our Generator Set Business
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
2. We rely on our business collaborations, including with Cummins for engines and alternators for our DG sets. Revenue from
sale of DG sets powered by Cummins engines accounted for 70.39%, 71.04% and 56.77% of our revenue from operations for
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Similarly, we rely on Hyundai for the supply of MSLG sets. Any supply disruption
from such partners could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
3. The independent power producer operations in our Wind Power Business which contributed 7.56%, 9.90% and 8.76% of our
total revenue from operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, rely on key relationships with OEMs to facilitate
supply of components and effective O&M services across most of our Operational Wind Power Projects, as well as for future
IPP developments. Any deterioration in these relationships, or performance or financial failure of our OEMs, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
4. We have historically relied, and may continue to rely, on Cummins India and our top five suppliers for a significant portion of
our materials and components. If these key suppliers fail to deliver the required quantities, meet delivery schedules, or adhere
to specified quality standards or technical specifications, our business operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
5. We are dependent on our power purchase agreements to sell power and generate our revenue from operations. Furthermore, the
terms of our PPAs may expose us to certain risks that may affect our future results of operations and cash flows.
6. Some of the land lease agreements for our wind power projects have shorter terms than the corresponding power purchase
agreements (“PPAs”) entered into for the respective projects. The expiry and non-renewal of such land lease agreements prior
to the end of the relevant PPA could potentially result in the premature termination of the corresponding PPA, which may have
a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
7. The performance of our Operational Wind Power Projects is significantly affected by seasonality, regulatory requirements, and
environmental and physical conditions, all of which are subject to variability and unpredictability. Any adverse changes to these
may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
8. We are exposed to credit risk from our customers and the recoverability of our trade receivables is subject to uncertainties.
Delays or defaults in payment by the customers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
9. Our Generator Set Business is heavily dependent on the performance of the diesel generator set market in southern India and
western India, particularly the markets in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and any adverse changes
in the conditions affecting these markets could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
2910. If power evacuation facilities are not made available by the time our IPP power projects are ready to commence operations, we
may incur significant transmission costs or may be forced to back down from the grid, and our operations could be adversely
affected.

31Internal Risk Factors
1. We are significantly dependent on our Generator Set Business, which contributed 85.00%, 86.30%, and 82.79% of our
revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any negative developments affecting our Generator
Set Business could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We are significantly dependent on our Generator Set Business division, which has consistently generated the majority of our
operating revenue since its commencement in 1984.
Our Generator Set Business division comprises three primary segments: diesel generator sets (“DG sets”) powered by Cummins
engines (engines sourced from Cummins India Limited (“Cummins India”, along with its Indian and global affiliates,
“Cummins”); sale of medium speed large generator (“MSLG”) sets through a non-exclusive collaboration with HD Hyundai Heavy
Industries Co., Limited (“Hyundai”); and our allied business activities comprising allied products and services such as
electromagnetic integrated (“EMI”) shelters for defence applications and Schneider PRISMA control panels and switchboards
(“Allied Business”). The sale of DG Sets powered by Cummins engines remain our single largest product line, accounting for
between 56.77% and 71.04% of total operating revenue over the last three fiscals. The MSLG segment and Allied Business together
add smaller but stable contributions, further concentrating our revenue streams within the Generator Set Business segment.
Our Wind Power Business comprises both the independent power producer (“IPP”) business and our engineering, procurement and
construction (“EPC”) and operations and maintenance (“O&M”) contracts for balance of plant (“BoP”) activities. Our IPP Wind
Power Business has expanded since inception, and as of March 31, 2025, comprises 11 Operational Wind Power Projects with a
total installed capacity of 279.55 MW.
Our reliance on the long-established Generator Set Business significantly increases our exposure to sector-specific and product-
specific risks. The relative scale of the Generator Set Business compared to the Wind Power Business means that even as the latter
grows, any negative impact on the former is unlikely to be sufficiently offset by wind operations.
The table below provides a comprehensive breakdown of our revenue from operations across our major business divisions for the
fiscals indicated:

has been classified as an associate with effect from April 18, 2024, and is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS
28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. For further details, please see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information –Note 54” on page 367.
Given our revenue profile, our financial performance and business stability depend heavily on the ongoing success of our Generator
Set Business. Any adverse developments in this segment, including changes in market demand, competitive pressures, or operational
disruptions, would likely have a significant and immediate effect on our overall revenue and profitability, as well as limit our ability
to diversify our business. While our Wind Power Business offers a valuable alternative revenue stream and has a significant installed
capacity, its comparatively smaller share of total revenue means it cannot fully counterbalance negative events affecting our primary
business segment. While we have not been exposed to any material adverse developments in the last three Fiscals, any negative
developments in our Generator Set Business could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.
2. We rely on our business collaborations, including with Cummins for engines and alternators for our DG sets. Revenue
from sale of DG sets powered by Cummins engines accounted for 70.39%, 71.04% and 56.77% of our revenue from
operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Similarly, we rely on Hyundai for the supply of MSLG sets. Any
supply disruption from such partners could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
We rely significantly on certain business collaborations for the supply of critical products and services that drive our operations.
Specifically, we depend on Cummins as our primary supplier of engines and alternators for our DG sets. In addition, we collaborate
with Hyundai to deliver comprehensive solutions for our MSLG offerings.
32Our Generator Set Business division contributed ₹2,255.19 crore, ₹1,907.20 crore and ₹1,968.87 crore, accounting for 85.00%,
86.30% and 82.79% of our overall revenue from operations in the last three fiscals, respectively. We have been a non-exclusive
original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) for Cummins in India for over four decades, and we rely exclusively on Cummins for
supply of engines and alternators for our DG sets with capacities ranging from 7.5 kVA to 3,750 kVA. This arrangement is
formalised annually through a non-exclusive authorised OEM certificate which is valid from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
While we strive to maintain sufficient stock levels to mitigate supply chain risks and have maintained a healthy relationship with
Cummins over the last four decades, any disruption to Cummins’ ability to supply engines and related parts for our DG sets, or any
deterioration in our relationship with them, could lead to operational delays or reduced sales. Cummins’ pricing of their products
also affects our own pricing strategy, influencing the market competitiveness of our DG sets.
In the MSLG segment, we collaborate with Hyundai for the sale of MSLG sets. As part of the MSLG offerings we provide pre-
purchase consultancy, design, engineering, sales, installation and O&M services, catering to emergency and high base load
applications to our customers. These MSLG sets typically operate at 750 RPM, with single-unit capacities ranging from 3,000 kVA
to 10,000 kVA, and can be configured in multiples for parallel operation at base load power stations. In addition to running on
diesel, these sets are capable of operating on multiple fuel grades. We also provide O&M services for these MSLG sets.
The table below outlines our revenue from operations derived from our DG sets powered by Cummins engines, from our MSLG
business in association with Hyundai and our Allied Business activities for the fiscals indicated:

Cummins India retains the right to import or manufacture DG sets for sale in the same territories in which we operate, and may also
appoint additional non-exclusive OEMs. Similarly, Hyundai may choose to prioritise other markets, partnerships, or ventures over
its current arrangement with us. If either Cummins India or Hyundai were to exercise these rights or shift strategic priorities, we
could face increased competition, a reduction in market share, or disruption to our established sales channels, which could adversely
impact our business performance and growth prospects.
While there has been no material disruption in the supply from Cummins or Hyundai over the past three fiscals, any failure by either
supplier to fulfil their obligations satisfactorily, or any conflict of interest between either of these suppliers and our business, could
disrupt our operations, reduce our sales, and adversely affect our financial performance. Furthermore, if Cummins or Hyundai
exercises their respective rights in a way that is contrary to our interests, such as appointing competitors, changing product pricing,
or failing to renew existing arrangements, they may significantly impact our results of operations and profitability. Any disruption
in these supply relationships or a failure to continue these arrangements in a timely manner, or at all, could significantly disrupt our
business and adversely impact our operational results and profitability.
3. The independent power producer (“IPP”) operations in our Wind Power Business which contributed 7.56%, 9.90% and
8.76% of our total revenue from operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, rely on key relationships with
OEMs to facilitate supply of components and effective O&M services across most of our Operational Wind Power Projects,
as well as for future IPP developments. Any deterioration in these relationships, or performance or financial failure of our
OEMs, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The table below outlines our revenue from operations derived from the IPP operations in our Wind Power Business for the fiscals
indicated:

IPP operations of Wind Power 200.68 7.56% 218.75 9.90% 208.40 8.76%
Business
The IPP operations in our Wind Power Business depend significantly on selected OEMs for the O&M of our Operational Wind
Power Projects and the supply of wind turbine generators (“WTGs”) for Under Construction Wind Power Projects and Pipeline
Projects to be developed in future. As of March 31, 2025, our Operational Wind Power Project portfolio comprises 11 wind power
projects in the state of Gujarat, with an aggregate generation capacity of 279.55 MW. For further details in relation our portfolio of
33IPP projects in our Wind Power Business, please see “Our Business – Wind Power Business – Wind Power – Independent Power
Producer Business” on page 247.
Our key WTG suppliers, Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (“Vestas”) and GE Renewable R&D India Private Limited
(“GERI”), a member of the GE Vernova Group, provide O&M services under comprehensive long-term O&M contracts, typically
ranging between five to 20 years, with complimentary service periods of two to three years in some cases. As of March 31, 2025,
the Rajkot Wind Farm and Khambhaliya Wind Farm SECI – VI (each with an installed capacity of 51.30 MW), are covered under
20-year O&M contracts with an international turbine manufacturer. Our 4.80 MW Samana wind farm at Jamnagar is operated under
an O&M agreement with Wind World India Limited (previously known as Enercon India Limited). The remainder of our wind
assets are largely serviced by Vestas under contracts with durations ranging from five to 15 years. We typically apply for renewal
of such contracts prior to the completion of their respective terms. However, there can be no assurance that such renewals will be
granted on favourable terms, or at all, which may have an adverse effect on our operations and financial performance.
We rely on these OEMs for timely and comprehensive O&M support, technical performance, and access to critical spare parts. Any
failure or delay by Vestas, GERI, or other OEMs to meet their obligations, due to operational challenges, financial distress,
insolvency, or strategic changes, may result in increased downtime, reduced generation, and lost revenue. Plant performance and
our revenue are sensitive to wind turbine availability, and significant underperformance or outages may trigger penalties or damages
under our power purchase agreements. Although we have not experienced material underperformance or forced outages, or needed
to substitute an OEM, in the past three fiscals, there can be no assurance this will not occur in the future.
Given the technical complexity and proprietary nature of WTGs, identifying and contracting alternative service providers or
replacement OEMs could be difficult, costly, and may result in service disruptions. Loss of access to proprietary technology or
specialist know-how may also impede our ability to operate or optimise projects efficiently. Furthermore, OEM insolvency or
inability to fulfil O&M or warranty obligations may compel us to secure interim or replacement services at additional cost and risk,
and may affect our compliance with power purchase agreements or regulatory requirements, potentially resulting in penalties,
damage claims, or contract terminations. Consequently, any disruption or shortfall in the performance or renewal of O&M contracts
with our key OEMs could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
4. We have historically relied, and may continue to rely, on Cummins India and our top five suppliers for a significant portion
of our materials and components. If these key suppliers fail to deliver the required quantities, meet delivery schedules, or
adhere to specified quality standards or technical specifications, our business operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected.
For our Generator Set Business, we operate in-house manufacturing facilities to maintain direct control over processes, costs, and
timelines. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we own and operate three manufacturing facilities in relation to our
DG sets business located in Bengaluru, Karnataka; Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli; and Khopoli, Maharashtra. Our captive
manufacturing approach enables us to optimise inventory, uphold quality assurance standards, and manage supply chain costs and
delivery timelines. This structure also enhances our responsiveness to changing customer needs and facilitates faster time-to-market.
However, we source key materials and components such as engines, alternators, copper wiring, steel, aluminium, busbar, rubber,
foam pads, switchgears, panels, diesel, WTGs and other mechanical and electrical components from external suppliers. While we
manufacture certain allied components in-house, we remain reliant on third-party suppliers for most critical parts, including engines,
alternators, steel, and switchgear. For example, our Generator Set Business is highly dependent on Cummins for the supply of
engines used in our DG sets and on Hyundai for solutions related to our MSLG offerings. Similarly, our Wind Power Business is
highly dependent on OEMs primarily for the WTGs and operations and maintenance of the wind turbines at our wind power projects.
Additionally, we depend on local contractors at each wind project site for most civil construction work and for securing the necessary
permits and approvals for BOP development.
The table below sets out the cost of raw materials which we have obtained from our top supplier, top five suppliers and top 10
suppliers together with such cost as a percentage of our total raw materials purchased in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023

We rely on timely delivery and consistent quality of raw materials and components for both product manufacturing in our Generator
Set Business and project execution in our Wind Power Business. Any failure by our suppliers to deliver materials or components in
the necessary quantities, to meet delivery schedules, or to adhere to quality standards and technical specifications may adversely
affect the production process in our Generator Set Business and delay the commissioning of our wind power projects. Disruptions
may also arise if a supplier experiences financial distress or insolvency, which could result in interruption of our supply chain.
If we are unable to source raw materials and components at required quality levels, in adequate quantities, or on commercially
acceptable terms, we may be unable to deliver products to customers as agreed. This could lead to contractual penalties, claims for
damages, loss of customers, or reputational harm. Where alternative suppliers are limited or unavailable, our ability to negotiate
favourable pricing may be reduced, which could adversely affect our margins. Although we have not experienced material supply
chain disruptions or transportation issues in the past three fiscal years, there can be no assurance that such disruptions will not occur
in the future.
We are exposed to fluctuations in the cost of raw materials and components, arising from global input and commodity price
volatility, shortages in supply, or price increases imposed by suppliers. If we are unable to offset increased input costs through
efficiency measures or price increases to customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely
affected. If input prices subsequently decline, we may not be able to adjust product prices downwards in a timely manner.
Our logistics depend on multiple forms of transport, including air, ocean, rail, and road. Any disruption due to adverse weather,
industrial action, infrastructure inadequacies, or other unforeseen events could affect both the timely delivery of raw materials and
our ability to meet project or customer commitments. Failure to manage supplier relationships, secure favourable supply terms, or
respond effectively to cost and logistical pressures may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
5. We are dependent on our power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) to sell power and generate our revenue from operations.
Furthermore, the terms of our PPAs may expose us to certain risks that may affect our future results of operations and
cash flows.
We are dependent on our existing PPAs to ensure the sale of electricity generated from our wind power projects and the stability of
our revenue streams. Our ability to generate revenue and maintain cash flows relies on these long-term arrangements with our off-
takers. While our PPAs are generally long-term in nature, there are still risks to which we are exposed. For instance, our PPAs may
not fully match the economic life of all our projects, and unforeseen events, such as changes in offtaker creditworthiness, regulatory
developments or market conditions, could affect their performance.
The table below sets out details of our Operational Wind Power Projects and Under Construction Wind Power Projects and the
related PPAs as of March 31, 2025:

For certain of our projects, our revenues and profitability are also dependent on our ability to achieve and maintain the contracted
capacity specified in our PPAs. Our PPAs typically obligate us to achieve and maintain a capacity utilization factor (“CUF”) within
a specified range over the contract term. The CUF is a critical performance metric, and our ability to meet these contractual
obligations is subject to various risks and uncertainties. While there have been no instances of deviation in maintaining CUF within
the specified range as contracted under the PPAs in the last three Fiscals, a failure to achieve and maintain the CUF within the
stipulated range, whether below a minimum threshold or above a maximum ceiling (if specified), could trigger significant adverse
consequences under our PPAs. These consequences may include, but are not limited to, the imposition of liquidated damages.
Additionally, while our PPAs provide for tariff increase due to “change in law,” any such increase in tariff requires regulatory
approvals from the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) or other regulatory commission which can be time
consuming. We may also face difficulties in recovering the costs (whether by tariff increases or litigation) through such corrective
measures, from the respective central government owned intermediaries /state distribution companies/authorities in a timely manner
and may also face resistance from the regulators when we seek increases in tariffs. Further, for all of our wind projects the tariffs
are fixed for the term of the PPAs and have been set by the respective state electricity/central regulatory commissions. As a result,
we cannot charge higher tariffs to our consumers in case our production costs increase, which could have an adverse impact on our
profitability. Even if the market price for electricity rises above the levels stipulated in the PPAs, we may not be able to realize such
higher price, which will disadvantage our business as we will suffer notional loss in such projects with fixed tariffs in PPAs with
utilities as compared to competitors who do not have long-term PPAs with fixed tariffs.
Further, we may not be able to qualify, compete, or secure new projects either through competitive bidding or through bilateral
arrangements with central and state utilities. As a result, we may not be able to renew or obtain new PPAs at tariffs as favourable as
those under our current agreements, or may not be able to procure new PPAs at all for some or all of our capacity.
6. Some of the land lease agreements for our wind power projects have shorter terms than the corresponding power purchase
agreements (“PPAs”) entered into for the respective projects. The expiry and non-renewal of such land lease agreements
prior to the end of the relevant PPA could potentially result in the premature termination of the corresponding PPA, which
may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
In our Wind Power Business, installed projects are situated on privately owned land, government owned land under long-term lease
agreements or land taken on leasehold basis from other third-party, while our wind power project pooling substations are installed
on privately owned land. The table below summarizes our land arrangements for our Operational Wind Power Projects and Under
Construction Wind Power Projects as of March 31, 2025:

As certified by the Independent Chartered Engineer, vide its certificate dated August 8, 2025.
Under the Gujarat state lease policy JMN/3903/UOR-29/A dated June 11, 2004, revenue land is allotted for the installation of WTGs
for a period of 20 years. Consequently, for certain wind power projects, the remaining duration of our land lease agreements with
the state government is shorter than the residual term of the relevant PPA. For example, in respect of certain of our Operational
Wind Power Projects and Under Construction Wind Power Projects, we have leasehold land with a lease period shorter than the
tenure of our corresponding PPA.
While renewal of such leased land is a common industry practice, there is no assurance that renewals will be approved by the
government in a timely manner, or at all. Additionally, the cost of renewal may increase. If we are unable to obtain renewals, we
may be required to remove our equipment and cease operations at the affected project sites upon expiry of the lease term. In such
circumstances, we may also be compelled to relocate our operations to alternative premises, which could result in significant
expenses, including transportation and relocation costs, establishment of utilities and infrastructure, civil and engineering works,
and other miscellaneous expenditures. Any inability to retain, renew, or secure suitable alternate premises on comparable terms, if
required, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Although there have been no
instances in the last three Fiscals where delays in entering into lease deeds resulted in delayed construction or commissioning of
wind power projects, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into such lease deeds in a timely manner in the future. Any
inability to secure timely renewals or to enter into lease agreements when required could adversely affect the returns of the affected
projects and, consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Furthermore, in relation to projects located on private leasehold land, any regulatory non-compliance by the landlords or adverse
development relating to the landlords’ title or ownership rights to such properties may entail significant disruptions to our operations,
especially if we are forced to vacate leased spaces following any such developments and expose us to reputation risks. Any adverse
impact on the title, ownership rights, development rights of the owners from whose premises we operate or breach of the contractual
terms of any lease and license agreements may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition. For further details, see “Governments and Other Approvals” on page 412 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
7. The performance of our Operational Wind Power Projects is significantly affected by seasonality, regulatory requirements,
and environmental and physical conditions, all of which are subject to variability and unpredictability. Any adverse changes
to these may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Set out below are key risks affecting performance of our Operational Wind Power Projects:
Seasonality Risks
Electricity generation from our projects depends heavily on environmental factors such as wind speed and weather conditions, as
well as the physical characteristics of each site. These variables influence our plant load factors (“PLFs”), which capture the seasonal
variability in wind energy generation. Wind energy PLFs are generally higher during the high-wind season (April to September)
and lower during the low-wind season (October to March) (Source: CRISIL Report). Monsoons and high-wind months intensify
these fluctuations, with storms or heavy rainfall posing additional challenges. For instance, severe weather can disrupt supporting
infrastructure, such as access to turbines or the stability of local power distribution systems. Flooded roads or damaged river
crossings can delay repair and maintenance efforts, extending operational outages. In addition, wind turbine operations are
automatically stopped or curtailed during very high wind conditions, storms, or cyclones as a protective measure, in accordance
with manufacturer and safety requirements. Changes in these factors, particularly more frequent or extreme weather events, could
significantly reduce energy output, thereby affecting revenue and profitability. Physical factors, such as new structures near project
sites, could alter wind flow patterns and diminish turbine efficiency.
The profitability of our wind power assets is directly correlated to wind conditions at our asset sites. Variations in wind conditions
occur because of fluctuations in wind currents on a daily, monthly and seasonal basis and, over the long-term, as a result of more
general climate changes. In particular, wind conditions are generally tied to the monsoon season in India and are affected by the
strength of each particular monsoon season. During the monsoon season, storms and heavy rainfall can create flood conditions or
damage access roads and river crossings, making turbine locations inaccessible. For instance, the tripping of transmission lines due
to fallen trees or other storm-related disruptions is common during such conditions, leading to a temporary stoppage of energy
generation. These issues, depending on the severity, can result in prolonged outages. Additionally, gusty winds and heavy storms
can cause damages. For instance, during Fiscal 2023, Cyclone Biparjoy impacted the coastal areas of Gujarat, significantly affecting
our Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm-Phase III / Gujarat and Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm-Phase IV / Gujarat. The edgewise vibrations
from Cyclone Biparjoy damaged the blades across certain of our WTGs, causing these WTGs to remain non-operational for few
months and resulting in significant power generation losses. Additionally, in the Khambhaliya region, a lightning strike caused a
37blade to detach from a WTG at our 10.00 MW BDS Wind Farm in Gujarat. Restoration was complicated by damaged blade de-
erection, ongoing rainfall, logistical challenges, and difficulties transporting cranes to the site. Similar incidents at any of our
Operational Wind Power Projects could disrupt energy generation, delay restoration, and adversely impact revenue. Although such
events are classified as force majeure risks and are covered by our insurance policies, there is no assurance of full recovery of losses
under insurance, and we may still incur financial impacts.
Forecasting and Regulatory Risks
Indian renewable energy regulations, such as the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity Grid Code)
Regulations 2023 and relevant regulations issued by various State Electricity Regulatory Commissions, require wind power
generators to forecast and schedule electricity production to facilitate grid integration. These rules typically mandate generators to
submit day-ahead and intra-day generation forecasts and to adhere to specified deviation limits.
Penalties apply for deviations outside the permissible tolerance bands, which is challenging due to the inherent variability and
unpredictability of wind resources. For example, during Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our Operational Wind Power Projects incurred
a penalty of ₹1.92 crores, ₹1.80 crores and ₹1.15 crores, respectively, due to forecasting deviations exceeding the regulatory
tolerance limits. Any changes in applicable regulations, such as the imposition of tighter tolerance bands, increased penalty rates,
or more frequent reporting requirements, could increase our compliance and financial risks. For instance, if distribution utilities or
regulatory authorities interpret compliance requirements for our projects unfavourably, or if penalties escalate, our financial
performance and condition may be adversely affected.
As these regulatory frameworks are relatively new in India and have been amended frequently, there remains uncertainty regarding
their stability and future development. Any future amendments that introduce stricter compliance requirements, narrower tolerance
limits, or higher penalties could significantly impact our business, reduce our cash flows, and increase uncertainty regarding our
operational and financial outcomes.
Impact of Physical Variability
Investment in our wind power projects is based on resource studies conducted prior to the development phase. Actual environmental
or physical conditions at project sites, however, may deviate from these studies, resulting in lower-than-expected energy output.
There is also an increased risk associated with a higher concentration of WTGs within our wind farms and in neighbouring areas.
As more turbines are installed close to each other, the wind flow reaching downstream turbines may be disrupted by upstream units,
leading to what is known as the ‘wake effect’. (Source: CRISIL Report) This effect results in turbulence and reduced wind speeds
for turbines located behind others, which can cause a measurable decline in energy generation. (Source: CRISIL Report) This risk
becomes more pronounced as the industry expands and turbine density increases in particular regions. If not properly managed or
accounted for, the ‘wake effect’ may lead to actual energy generation levels falling significantly below initial projections based on
pre-construction resource assessments. As a result, environmental and physical uncertainties, could adversely affect actual output,
revenues, and the overall financial performance of our wind power projects. For instance, the performance of our Jangi-Vandhiya
Wind Farm-Phase II in Gujarat, is lower compared to our expectations, primarily due to the wake effect.
8. We are exposed to credit risk from our customers and the recoverability of our trade receivables is subject to uncertainties.
Delays or defaults in payment by the customers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
We extend certain credit periods to some of our customers and are therefore exposed to credit risk from such customers. The table
below sets forth certain details of our trade receivables, and trade receivable turnover days as of and for the years indicated:
(₹ crores, unless otherwise indicated)
Particulars As of and for the financial year ended March 31,
2025 2024 2023
Revenue from operations (A) 2,653.27 2,210.00 2,378.26

Note:
(1) Trade receivables turnover days is calculated as 365 days divided by debtor turnover ratio. Debtor turnover ratio is calculated as revenue from operations
divided by trade receivables (current) as disclosed in the Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
For further details see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Credit Risk” on page 403.
For our Wind Power Business, all of our revenue derived from the sale of electricity is attributable to state-owned entities and their
successor distribution companies or intermediary companies. For our current Operational Wind Power Projects and Under
Construction Wind Power Projects, we have long-term PPAs with government entities such as SECI and Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam
Limited (“GUVNL”), making these organisations critical off-takers for our wind power projects. As a result, we are exposed to
38concentration risk, and any financial instability, policy changes, operational inefficiencies or delays in payment by these entities
could materially disrupt our cash flows and adversely affect our financial condition.
Enforcing timely payment from these public entities is challenging, given bureaucratic processes and statutory constraints that often
restrict our ability to seek effective recourse in cases of delay or default. In Fiscal 2024, we successfully divested two of our IPP
wind power projects located in Tamil Nadu with a total installed capacity of 26.4 MW. As of the March 31, 2025, receivables
totalling ₹ 9.36 crores remain outstanding in relation to these projects. For further details see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations for the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 – Fiscal
2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023” on page 398.
As part of our Generator Set Business, we routinely extend credit to customers and receive payments in accordance with the agreed
order terms. Our ability to collect outstanding payments from customers is critical to the performance of our Generator Set Business
segment. Although we endeavour to limit the amount and duration of credit extended, there remains a risk that we may not recover
amounts due if customers are unable or unwilling to pay on time, or at all. Adverse macroeconomic conditions may increase the
likelihood of financial difficulties for our customers, including insolvency or bankruptcy, which could result in delayed payments
or requests for revised payment terms. These circumstances may increase our receivables and impact our liquidity position. We
have encountered such collection challenges in the past where certain customers have delayed or defaulted on their payments,
primarily due to their own financial constraints and lengthy internal approval processes. When customers default on payments, we
make provisions for these amounts in our profit and loss account, which adversely affects our profitability.
The table below provides details of provisions for doubtful debts and sundry balances written off for the years indicated:
(₹ in crores)
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Provision of Doubtful Debts 2.52 - -
Sundry Balances written off 0.15 3.69 3.41
Our ability to recover receivables is further influenced by the financial health of our customers and general economic conditions,
both of which are outside our control. While we may pursue legal remedies to enforce contractual obligations, such action is often
time consuming, may put client relationships at risk, and does not guarantee a timely or favourable outcome. Any persistent failure
by our customers to fulfil their payment obligations could adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, business prospects and
operational results.
9. Our Generator Set Business is heavily dependent on the performance of the diesel generator set market in southern India
and western India, particularly the markets in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and any
adverse changes in the conditions affecting these markets could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our Generator Set Business is heavily dependent on the performance of the diesel generator market in India. In Fiscal 2025, the
southern region accounted for 29.95% and the western region for 20.03% of the LHP DG sets market by volume. For MHP DG
sets, the southern region represented 28.23% of volumes, largely driven by strong information technology, manufacturing, and urban
development activity in cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. (Source: F&S Report) The western region accounted
for 23.62% of the MHP DG sets market by volume, supported by a robust industrial base in states such as Maharashtra and Gujarat
(Source: F&S Report).
In the event of a slowdown in these regions, or any developments that make our products less attractive in these regions, we may
experience more pronounced effects on our business, results of operations, and financial condition than if we had further diversified
sales across different geographical locations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been and will continue
to be largely dependent on the prevailing conditions affecting grid-generated electricity and the resulting market for diesel generator
sets in these regions.
In addition, the power generation sector and the diesel generator market are affected by changes in government policies, economic
conditions, income levels and interest rates among other factors, which may negatively affect the demand for our products.
Moreover, the power generation sector and diesel generator market in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala
may perform differently from, and be subject to, market and regulatory developments that are different from the markets in other
parts of India. Consequently, we cannot assure you that the demand for our products in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil
Nadu and Kerala will grow, or will not decrease, in the future.
10. If power evacuation facilities are not made available by the time our IPP power projects are ready to commence operations,
we may incur significant transmission costs or may be forced to back down from the grid, and our operations could be
adversely affected.
The commercial success of our wind power projects depends heavily on the timely availability and uninterrupted operation of
transmission infrastructure required for power evacuation. We face several risks that may arise from timing mismatches or
maintenance downtime in the transmission network, each of which can adversely impact our financial performance.
39Where our wind power project’s development is delayed but the required transmission lines are completed on schedule, we may
nonetheless become obligated to pay transmission charges for the capacity reserved for our use, even though our project is not yet
supplying electricity to the grid. This results in increased costs without any corresponding revenue. Alternatively, if our project is
ready to begin operations but the associated transmission infrastructure is delayed or unavailable, our generation assets may remain
idle until the transmission system is operational. For example, our Khambhaliya Wind Farm SECI VI project was ready for
commissioning on May 17, 2022; however, the JKTL substation was shut down at that time. The substation became operational on
June 1, 2022, allowing us to commission the project from June 2, 2022. In such instances, we face periods of lost revenue as we are
unable to sell electricity despite project readiness.
Moreover, even after both the project and transmission lines are in place, our wind power assets remain exposed to operational risk
resulting from periodic maintenance or unplanned outages on the transmission network. During such times, our generating capacity
may have to be taken offline, leading to operational downtime and further revenue loss. Although our connectivity agreements
provide for compensation in the event of outages, compensation is only available for downtime that exceeds specific thresholds set
out in the agreement. Downtime within those prescribed limits therefore remains unremunerated, exposing us to potential financial
impact.
Beyond the interconnection points of our projects, we are reliant on the performance and reliability of the wider electricity grid, the
management of which is beyond our immediate control. Constraints, maintenance interruptions, natural disasters, load shedding, or
reductions in offtake by electricity boards can all further inhibit power evacuation and impact our expected cash flows.
Taken together, these risks associated with transmission infrastructure, whether due to project and network timing mismatches or
operational interruptions, can cause us to incur additional costs, experience revenue shortfalls, and face operational and regulatory
challenges. Any such occurrences could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
11. Operational and technical difficulties may lead to reduced power generation below our expectations. Repairing any failure
could necessitate significant capital and resource expenditure, potentially having a material adverse effect on our business,
cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our ability to generate electricity depends on minimizing operational and technical difficulties, which can be influenced by various
factors. These include the maintenance of windfarms, the quality of personnel deployed for operations and maintenance activities,
the quantities of spare parts maintained at project sites, and the lead times in procuring spare parts/equipment. Additionally, the
performance of our operations and maintenance (“O&M”) contractor(s) as well as weather conditions including wind speeds; play
a crucial role. Disturbances caused by the local community leading to restriction to access the project site, as well as weather effects
on maintenance/availability of movement of heavy material and equipment, rainfall/flood leading to disruptions in logistics in
project area; and unexpected technical breakdowns or failures, can also impact our ability to generate electricity. Furthermore,
system integration issues, faults in monitoring equipment, or software malfunctions may result in operational delays or reduced
efficiency. For instance, in the Khambhaliya region affected by Cyclone Biparjoy in June 2023, certain repair works were delayed
due to local right of way constraints. Restoration was further complicated by damaged blade de-erection, continuous rainfall, local
logistical challenges, and difficulties transporting the crane to the site.
The table below sets forth our Wind Power Business O&M expenses as a percentage of our revenue from sale of electricity generated
from our Operational Wind Power Projects for the years indicated:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Particulars
(₹ crores, unless otherwise indicated)
O&M expenses for IPP Projects (A) 46.51 38.55 39.32
Revenue from sale of electricity generated from our IPP Projects (B) 200.52 215.65 203.06
O&M expenses for IPP Projects as a percentage of revenue from sale of electricity 23.20% 17.88% 19.36%
generated from our IPP Projects (C= A/B)
Our Operational Wind Power Projects may not continue to perform as they have in the past or as expected, and there is a risk of
equipment failure due to wear and tear, latent defect, design error or operator error, or force majeure events, among other things,
which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to produce electricity.
Although we have long-term O&M contracts with our supplier OEMs for maintenance of wind turbines, the procurement of spare
parts for wind turbines and key pieces of electrical equipment, such as gear boxes and control panels, can be challenging. These
parts may be difficult to acquire, susceptible to damage, perform below expectations, or involve significant sourcing lead times. For
more details on risk related to O&M contracts and expenses please see “— Our Wind Power Business operations require periodic
maintenance for which we engage operation and maintenance (O&M) contractors and incur operation and maintenance (O&M)
expenses. Any significant increase in our O&M expenses will have a negative impact on our profitability.” on page 49. Sources for
some critical spare parts and other equipment are located outside of India. If our O&M contractors face shortages or are unable to
acquire critical spare parts, we could incur significant delays in returning facilities to full operation. While our Company has
comprehensive O&M contracts with the OEMs, which include machine availability guarantees, and for force majeure events we
have obtained suitable insurance coverage for business losses, such losses may not be fully compensated.
40The table below sets out instances of material damage covered by insurance, arising from force majeure events such as Cyclone
Biparjoy and seasonal storms, that led to downtime exceeding 90 days for repair and replacement work during the last three fiscals:
S no. Project No. of WTGs Date of Impact WTG outages days
1 Goinj Wind Farm / Gujarat 1 June 23, 2023 101
2 Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm-Phase III / Gujarat 1 June 19, 2023 105
3 Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm-Phase IV / Gujarat 1 June 18, 2023 97
4 Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm-Phase III / Gujarat 1 June 16, 2023 147
5 Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm-Phase IV / Gujarat 1 September 6, 2024 95
Furthermore, some of our O&M contracts for wind turbines carry terms in relation to recovery of losses on account of long
stoppages, such recoveries are typically limited to 10% to 100% of annual O&M fees which may be insufficient to recover the entire
lost production value. Repairing wind turbines may also require mobilising cranes, which can result in significant lead times,
particularly during peak demand periods or the monsoon season when adverse weather conditions create logistical and technical
challenges. Such delays can have a considerable impact on our operations, as wind turbines may remain inoperable or perform
below optimal capacity while crane mobilisation takes place. These operational and technical difficulties can materially and
adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.
12. One of our Independent Directors, Maheswar Sahu, is on the board of directors of a company whose securities have been
suspended from trading on the Stock Exchanges.
Maheswar Sahu, one of our Independent Directors, is on the board of directors of IMP Powers Limited, an entity listed on the Stock
Exchanges. The trading in the securities of IMP Powers Limited was suspended with effect from January 20, 2025, on account of
capital reduction of IMP Powers Limited which was carried out pursuant to the order of the National Company Law Tribunal,
Ahmedabad Division Bench dated November 5, 2024. The said suspension was procedural in nature. For further details in relation
to Maheswar Sahu, see “Our Management” beginning on page 283.
13. Adoption, implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission and noise standards could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our engine and generator set suppliers are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emission and noise,
including standards imposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union and other regulatory
agencies around the world. Developing engines and components to meet numerous changing government regulatory requirements,
with different implementation timelines and emission requirements, makes developing engines for multiple markets complicated
and could result in substantial additional costs that may be difficult for them to recover in certain markets. In some cases, they may
be required to develop new products to comply with new regulations, particularly those relating to air emissions. Increased public
and political awareness of the environmental impact of diesel generator sets might also affect preferences in sources of back-up
power. Because of these and other factors, our suppliers may scale down or cease production of certain products, resulting in our
inability to supply our customers and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Laws and regulations in India may also impose stricter standards on emissions and noises from generator sets. These may require
our suppliers to modify the engines and generator sets that they supply to us, and delays in these modifications, or a decision to
cease supply to us altogether, could lead to disruptions in the supply of our products and could adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition. For example, the implementation of CPCB IV+ emission standards has driven significant
price rationalization driven by the need to comply with stringent environmental regulations. The adoption of advanced emission
control technologies, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel particulate filters (DPF), and electronic fuel injection
systems, has led to notable price increases of 15% to 20% for CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets compared to previous CPCB II models.
(Source: F&S Report) This is reflective of higher manufacturing costs and the use of Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) compliant low-
sulphur diesel. (Source: F&S Report) Beyond technology costs, CPCB IV+ norms have introduced longer development cycles and
more stringent certification processes, further contributing to price escalation with manufacturers now required to undergo extended
testing protocols, emissions validation, and type approval by accredited agencies such as ARAI and ICAT. (Source: F&S Report)
Compliance with these enhanced emission standards would require significant technological upgrades, including advanced exhaust
after-treatment systems, redesigned engines, and more sophisticated control mechanisms. We might also have to incur increased
expenditure on manufacturing, and research and development. Our failure to timely and effectively transition our product offerings
to meet CPCB IV norms, or significant increases in our production costs due to these norms, could materially and adversely affect
our market share, sales volume, profitability, and overall financial condition. Furthermore, any non-compliance could expose us to
regulatory penalties and fines.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with any new standards in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or failure
in compliance could result in regulatory penalties, restrictions on the sale of non-compliant products, or loss of market share to
competitors who are able to adapt more quickly. Additionally, the cost of compliance may be higher than currently anticipated,
which could adversely affect our margins and overall financial condition.
41Furthermore, the regional pollution control boards may impose even stricter local norms or accelerate enforcement actions,
increasing the risk of operational disruptions. As emission standards continue to evolve, we may be required to redesign existing
product lines, modify manufacturing infrastructure, or relocate certain operations, all of which could materially and adversely affect
our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
14. Demand for our DG sets is significantly dependent upon unpredictable power outage events, seasonality and other events
beyond our control that can lead to substantial variations in, and uncertainties regarding, our financial results from period
to period.
Sales of our DG sets depend on consumer buying patterns and are influenced by the reliability of power infrastructure. Standby
power is a critical component of India’s energy infrastructure, ensuring continuity of operations during power outages or voltage
fluctuations. (Source: F&S Report) With a growing population, rapid urbanization, and expanding commercial (real estate both
residential & commercial), and infrastructure, the demand for reliable standby power solutions has intensified across the country.
(Source: F&S Report) Despite ongoing improvements in grid reliability, power disruptions remain a persistent concern across
several regions in India. (Source: F&S Report) This has led to increased adoption of DG sets, uninterruptible power supply (“UPS”)
systems, inverters, and battery storage solutions across key sectors, including commercial, manufacturing, information technology
and data centres, telecom, and infrastructure. (Source: F&S Report)
However, longer periods without power disruptions may reduce consumer awareness of the benefits of DG sets, which can lower
sales and result in excess inventory. Furthermore, increased investment in India’s power sector has led to the commissioning of new
power plants using a variety of resources. As more power plants begin operations and the country sees improvements in overall
power supply, demand for our products may decrease in regions experiencing surplus energy. The demand for DG sets is also
sensitive to changes in the prices of the fuels required for their operation. Any unfavourable movement in fuel prices may have a
negative impact on demand for our products, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We may experience variability in revenue as a result of varying weather patterns, that generally affect grid-generated power
availability. These fluctuations are further exacerbated by the absence of long-term arrangements with our DG set customers.
Managing unpredictable fluctuations in demand is therefore part of our business, and these fluctuations could have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations.
15. Our Wind Power Business is capital intensive, with significant ongoing investment required for the development, expansion,
and maintenance of wind power projects. We have estimated our expenditure based on current market conditions; however,
actual costs may exceed these estimates due to factors such as rising input and commodity prices, higher costs or delays in
securing rights of way for transmission lines and access roads, or unanticipated project delays. Such increases may affect
the timing of financial closure and commissioning of our projects, and may necessitate securing additional financing.
Our Wind Power Business requires substantial capital expenditure for the development, expansion, and maintenance of wind power
projects. The actual amount and timing of our future financial requirements may vary from our current estimates due to factors such
as changes in WTG costs, unforeseen delays or cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, regulatory amendments, changes in economic
conditions, engineering design changes, weather-related delays, technological advancements, and evolving market dynamics within
the power sector.
Additionally, in order to build and operate our projects, we rely on rights of way granted by landowners for laying roads, and
transmission lines. We estimate the rights of way costs based on our past experience and assessment of prevailing market conditions
and make provision for contingencies. However, we may have to pay higher costs for obtaining rights of way or build longer roads
and/or transmission lines in case right of way from our planned routes are not available. While there have been no material instances
in the last three fiscals where we have incurred significant increased costs or constructed significantly longer roads or transmission
lines owing to unavailability of rights of way from planned routes, there can be no assurance that such circumstances will not arise
in the future. We may also face extended periods of time in obtaining rights of way due to unavailability of land parcels where we
need to obtain rights of way. Such instances may cost us more time to commission our projects as well as higher expenditure beyond
provided contingency margins.
To fund ongoing and planned capital expenditure for our Wind Power Business, we may need to raise additional financing through
long-term debt, equity or debt securities, or bank guarantees. Should we incur additional debt, our interest and repayment obligations
will increase, which could impact our profitability and cash flows. New debt may also entail additional covenants, restricting our
operational flexibility and access to cash flows. Issuing new equity could result in dilution of our shareholding. If external sources
of capital become limited, unavailable, or are only available on unfavourable terms, we may be forced to reduce the scope of our
projects, delay, abandon, or divest certain projects, or risk defaulting on contractual commitments to acquire equipment.
Ongoing capital expenditure requirements and any inability to secure necessary financing could negatively affect our results of
operations, overall financial condition, and our plans for future project development.
4216. The IPP portfolio under our Wind Power Business is concentrated in Gujarat, exposing us to disruptions and risks resulting
from conditions that may be specific to this region.
The IPP portfolio under our Wind Power Business is concentrated in the state of Gujarat. This concentration makes our operations
vulnerable to risks and disruptions that may be specific to the region. Local and regional factors such as accidents, political or
economic developments, adverse weather, natural disasters, demographic changes, outbreaks of infectious diseases, and other
unforeseen events could all significantly affect our activities in Gujarat.
Due to Gujarat’s geographical location, our projects face particular risks including earthquakes and equipment corrosion from air
salinity because of proximity to the sea. Any adverse regulatory changes or natural calamities in Gujarat could affect a substantial
portion of our portfolio. The recent escalation in India–Pakistan relations in May 2025, which required us to suspend our operations
for a few hours during the day due to blackout in Kutch and Jamnagar under government orders, highlights the strategic vulnerability
of infrastructure located near border regions. Although such geopolitical events have not directly materially impacted our business
to date, the risk of significant disruption remains.
Since our portfolio is not geographically diversified, interruptions to our operations in Gujarat would have a greater adverse effect
than if our operations were distributed across multiple states or countries. While we maintain insurance against some of these risks,
our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all potential losses or liabilities. As a result, any adverse developments in Gujarat could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
17. Our operations involve activities and materials which are hazardous in nature and could result in a suspension of
operations, injury to our personnel, emission of pollutants and/or the imposition of civil or criminal liabilities which could
adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
Our Generator Set Business and Wind Power Business require personnel to work in potentially hazardous environments, where
improper use of machinery or equipment can result in serious injury or death, as well as damage to our property, third-party property,
or the environment. Despite our compliance with applicable safety standards and procedures, both businesses are exposed to
significant risks, including explosions, fires, mechanical failures, discharges or releases of hazardous substances, and other
operational hazards. Such incidents can cause personal injury, loss of life, catastrophic damage to property and equipment, and
environmental harm, as well as interruption or suspension of operations and the potential for civil or criminal liability. For instance,
during Fiscal 2023, Cyclone Biparjoy impacted the coastal areas of Gujarat, significantly affecting our Jangi-Vandhiya Wind Farm–
Phase III and Phase IV. Additionally, in the Khambhaliya region, a lightning strike caused a blade to detach from a WTG at our
10.00 MW BDS Wind Farm in Gujarat. Although there were no casualties, the incident highlights the risks inherent in our operations
despite thorough safety protocols and regular risk assessments.
We have established safety manuals, environmental procedures to promote workplace safety in both our Generator Set Business and
Wind Power Business. Even with these measures in place, we cannot assure you that accidents or occupational hazards will not
occur in the future. The occurrence of such events could disrupt our business operations, damage our reputation, and result in
regulatory or legal actions. We also face potential claims and litigation from individuals alleging injury due to occupational exposure
at our facilities. Any adverse outcomes in these cases, individually or collectively, could negatively affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Additionally, following the occurrence of any such incidents, our customers may require us to invest in supplementary safety
protocols for either our Generator Set Business or Wind Power Business, which could increase our operational expenses and affect
our ability to operate at optimal efficiency. Any such changes imposed by our customers may adversely impact our business, results
of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
18. We are exposed to significant risks from fixed price contracts in our Wind Power Business that could cause us to incur
losses and affect our results of operations.
IPP operations in our Wind Power Business are carried out under fixed tariff PPAs. During Fiscal 2025, we derived ₹200.52 crores,
representing 7.56% of our total revenue from operations, from the IPP operations of our Wind Power Business.
Under fixed price contracts, we agree to deliver electricity and related services for a pre-agreed payment that does not change to
reflect our actual costs. All our 11 Operational Wind Power Projects, with a total installed capacity of 279.55 MW are governed by
fixed tariff PPAs with utilities. These tariffs, set by state or central regulatory commissions, remain unchanged for the duration of
the contract. We have no contractual flexibility to increase tariffs to offset any rise in our production costs. Consequently, if our
actual costs of fulfilling these contracts increase, such as from unexpected changes in materials or labour, technical issues, challenges
in obtaining right of way, delays due to logistical constraints, adverse weather, or underperformance by suppliers or subcontractors,
we may not be able to recover these additional costs from our customers. Delays or cost increases in one aspect of a project can also
have compounding effects, leading to higher overall project costs. Although we generally procure materials and components in
advance, unforeseen increases in costs or project delays can negatively impact our profitability, particularly for larger projects.
43Additionally, even if the market price for electricity rises above the level set in our fixed tariff PPAs, we remain obligated to sell
electricity at the contracted rate. These factors may result in reduced profitability or losses on certain projects if our costs increase
beyond our estimates. This may also place us at a disadvantage compared to market participants without long term PPAs, especially
when electricity demand and market prices increase. Accordingly, our exposure to fixed price contracts and fixed tariff PPAs could
have a material adverse effect on our profitability, results of operations, and financial condition.
19. Any disruption affecting our manufacturing facilities or Operational Wind Power Projects could have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We currently operate three manufacturing facilities focused on our Generator Set Business located in Bengaluru, Karnataka;
Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Khopoli, Maharashtra. The manufacturing of our DG sets, as well as other components,
involves hazards that could result in fires, explosions, spills, and other unexpected or dangerous conditions or accidents. While there
have been no material instances of fires, explosions, hazardous spills or similar dangerous conditions or accidents at any of our
manufacturing facilities in the last three fiscals, and there have been no fatalities of employees on duty at any of our manufacturing
facilities at any time in the past, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur in the future.
Our manufacturing facilities and Operating Wind Power Projects are also subject to operating risks, such as the breakdown or failure
of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of efficiency, obsolescence, labour disputes, natural
disasters, industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant government authorities. For our Generator Set
Business, the facilities are located in different states, allowing the Company to rely on alternative sites in case of an exigency. While
for our Wind Power Business, our contingency measures include comprehensive O&M agreements with OEMs and insurance cover
under industrial all risk and machine breakdown policies. However, these safeguards may not fully address all risks. Significant
component failures or other unforeseen incidents could result in repair delays, operational interruptions or financial losses that are
not fully recoverable from insurance or OEMs. As a result, our operations may still be adversely affected and we may incur losses
despite these measures. See “— We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to address risks inherent in our business operations,
which could adversely affect our financial position and reputation” on page 61.
In addition, if such events occur, our manufacturing or wind power production capacity may be adversely affected. If we are required
to shut down any of our manufacturing facilities or wind power projects for a significant period, it may have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
20. Challenges in scaling up our Wind Power Business operations and managing our joint arrangements with global players
such as Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (“Vestas”) and GE Renewable R&D India Private Limited (“GERI”),
a member of the GE Vernova Group could negatively impact our operations, financial condition, and growth objectives.
We have established and are expanding our collaborations with leading global wind power sector players, including Vestas and
GERI a member of the GE Vernova Group. Our association with Vestas began in 2009, and as of the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, we have eight Operational Wind Power Projects with a total generation capacity of 172.15 MW using Vestas WTGs.
Vestas also provides O&M and related services for these projects, and in 2024, we signed a framework agreement with Vestas for
the supply of multi-model spare parts in India, covering WTGs manufactured by other OEMs.
Our collaboration with the GE started in 2020. Since then, we have implemented two wind power projects with an aggregated
capacity of 102.60 MW as of March 31, 2025, and have one project under construction with a capacity of 51.3 MW with WTG
supply arrangement in place with GE. Additionally, on December 19, 2024, our Company, GE Renewable R&D India Private
Limited (“GERI”), a member of GE Vernova, and Paramount Windfarms Private Limited (“PWPL”), our Subsidiary, have entered
into a joint development agreement (“JDA”) to collaborate and jointly develop, construct and own renewable power projects in
India, specifically the 2,000 MW wind-solar hybrid project on approximately 4,000 hectares of land parcels in Gujarat (the “RE
Park Project”) proposed to be allotted to PWPL under the ‘Policy for Allotment of Government Land for Wind Park/Solar Park/
Wind-Solar Hybrid Park’ dated January 25, 2019 issued by the Government of Gujarat (the “RE Park Project Land”) pursuant to
the land application in relation to the RE Park Project (the “RE Park Land Application”), and potentially a 140 MW project also
in Gujarat (the “Gujarat Project 2”). Both our Company and GERI retain a right of first offer to own renewable power projects
within the park, with aggregate capacities of up to 250 MW and 100 MW, respectively. Further, certain strategic and operational
decisions, under the JDA require the prior written consent from both our Company and GERI. A failure to obtain unanimous consent
could impede our ability to execute business plan, adapt to market changes, or pursue critical growth initiatives, thereby adversely
affecting our investment and performance.
Scaling up our operations and managing these joint arrangements may involve significant managerial, technical, and logistical
challenges. Such expansion places increasing demands on our management, operating systems, internal controls, and physical and
technical resources. Failure to manage these challenges effectively may affect our ability to fulfill our obligations under our joint
arrangements with Vestas and GERI, as well as manage our operational assets efficiently. To address these risks, we may require
additional investment in infrastructure, workforce expansion and training, and improvements to our management, financial and
information systems. Inadequately addressing these challenges could negatively impact our operations, financial condition and
growth objectives.
4421. The viability of our Wind Power Business is partially dependent on the cost of wind-generated electricity as compared to
electricity generated from other sources of energy.
The long-term viability of our Wind Power Business relies in part on the cost of electricity generated from wind relative to electricity
generated from other sources, including conventional fuels such as oil, coal and gas, as well as other renewables like solar, biomass
and small hydro amongst others. The overall cost of wind-generated electricity depends on several factors, including the capital
costs of establishing wind power projects, ongoing financing requirements, maintenance expenses and plant load factor efficiency
at project site. The attractiveness of wind power is therefore influenced by changes in input costs across the wider energy market.
For example, renewables benefit from record-high crude oil and petroleum product prices in 2008, as well as continued
advancements in wind turbine technology, which have driven down the cost per kilowatt hour of wind-generated power (Source:
CRISIL Report).
However, a decline in global prices for oil, gas, coal, other petroleum products or solar modules could make alternative sources of
energy more attractive and reduce demand for wind power projects. In particular, the local manufacturing of solar modules on a
large scale has driven down the cost of solar power, making it increasingly cost-competitive and sometimes preferred over wind
(Source: CRISIL Report).
Furthermore, any increase in the cost competitiveness of other forms of power generation, whether due to advances in technology,
improvements in energy storage solutions or the discovery of significant new and commercially viable fossil fuel reserves, could
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
22. Our acquisition or possession of land for our own wind power projects or for joint development with OEMs may be subject
to uncertainties and defects.
In connection with our wind power projects, we need to identify and acquire suitable land, either independently or collaboratively
for projects being jointly developed with OEMs. However, we may face difficulties in acquiring the required land due to various
factors, including the rejection of our applications or cancellation of government land allotments or the unavailability of private land
at reasonable terms.
In many jurisdictions, including those with fragmented or unclear land title systems, uncertainties surrounding land ownership and
title defects can pose significant risks. Land title in India can be uncertain and we may not be able to identify or correct defects or
irregularities in title to the land which we own, lease or may from time to time acquire in connection with our current or future
operations. These defects may include incomplete or incorrect registration of conveyance deeds, insufficient stamping, or existing
encumbrances that may not be apparent at the time of acquisition. Such issues could expose us to legal disputes related to land
ownership, which may take considerable time, cost, and management resources to resolve. In some cases, disputes may not be
resolved in our favour or may result in project delays, failure to meet contractual obligations, or the need to pay liquidated damages.
The success of our projects depends significantly on securing land with clear title. Risks such as defective or disputed title,
unregistered encumbrances, or adverse possession claims may delay or prevent project development or result in the loss of
investments associated with the land. There is no central title registry for real property in India, and the documentation of land
records in India has not been fully computerized. Property records in India are generally maintained at the state and district level
and in local languages and, while digitization is proceeding in many states, these have historically been updated manually through
physical records. Therefore, property records may not be available online for inspection or updated in a timely manner, may be
illegible, untraceable, incomplete or inaccurate in certain respects, or may have been kept in poor condition, which may impede title
investigations or our ability to rely on such property records. Therefore, the inability to obtain clear title over a project site or land
could impede project development, delay commissioning, increase costs, or lead to further disputes. If regulatory authorities grant
us leasehold rights, we must comply with all associated conditions. Non-compliance could result in the forfeiture of our rights,
potentially undermining the value or viability of a project.
Our Company has previously received order from the Mamlatdar, Bhachau which directed our Company to pay certain penalty for
an alleged encroachment and the Circle Officer to remove encroachment from certain parcel of land wherein we had installed one
of the WTG. Subsequently, one of the gram panchayat filed a special civil application before the Gujarat High Court seeking a writ
of mandamus in relation to the above-referred order passed by the Mamlatdar, Bhachau. Thereafter, Gujarat High Court passed an
order directing our Company to remove the alleged encroachment and hand the possession of disputed land to the concerned gram
panchayat within three months. Thereafter, our Company filed a special civil application before Gujarat High Court seeking the
order passed in favour of concerned gram panchayat be recalled and suspended. Pursuant to our special civil application, Gujarat
High Court recalled its earlier order and imposed penalty on the concerned gram panchayat for suppressing material facts. While
the civil proceeding involving the particular gram panchayat is still pending, our Company has filed another special civil application
challenging the order passed by district collector rejecting the request for regularisation of disputed land in relation to WTG installed.
Parallelly, in relation to the same parcel of land where WTG has been installed, we have received a regulatory notice from Range
Forest Officer Ghudkhar Wildlife Sanctuary, District Kutch alleging that concerned WTG was commissioned on sanctuary area at
village Jangi, Taluka Bhachau and directed our Company to submit the relevant permissions obtained in relation to the installation
location. Further, in our correspondence with Range Forest Officer we have clarified a technical error in erecting and commissioning
the project at this particular land which falls adjacent to a parcel of land owned by us and have requested for regularisation of
particular installation location in accordance with applicable government rules. The matter is currently outstanding. If the resolution
45of this dispute is not in our favour, we may be required to remove the WTG, which could result in significant operational disruption
and additional costs. For details, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments – Litigation involving our Company –
Litigation against our Company – Actions taken by regulatory and statutory authorities” on page 407.
While we have not experienced material issues relating to defective land title in the last three fiscals, there can be no assurance that
such risks will not arise in the future. Our inability to identify and mitigate such risks could adversely impact our operations, financial
performance, and reputation.
23. We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under our financing agreements. Any non-compliance may
lead to, amongst others, accelerated repayment schedule and suspension of further drawdowns, which may adversely affect
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
As of July 31, 2025, our total secured outstanding borrowings (fund-based and non-fund-based) stood at ₹ 1,012.60 crores on a
consolidated basis. Some of the external financing arrangements entered into by us include conditions that require our Company
and our Subsidiaries namely, Paramount Windfarms Private Limited, Powerica Renewable Infra Private Limited and Powerica
Power System FZE, to obtain respective lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain activities (including certain corporate actions)
and entering into certain transactions. Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences
on our business and operations. These covenants vary depending on the requirements of the financial institution extending such loan
and the conditions negotiated under each financing agreement. Some of the corporate actions that require prior consents or
intimations to be made to certain lenders include, amongst others, (a) changes to the capital structure of our Company or its
shareholding pattern; (b) amendments to memorandum and/or articles of association of our Company, (c) changing the
constitution/composition of the Board; (d) undertaking any merger, de-merger, amalgamation; (e) to undertake any capital
expenditure or invest in any project; (f) prepayment of their borrowings. While we have received all relevant consents required for
the purposes of this Offer and have complied with these covenants, a failure to comply with such covenants in the future may restrict
or delay certain actions or initiatives that we may propose to take from time to time.
In addition, while there has been no violation of any restrictive covenants and no event of default has occurred and we have not
rescheduled repayment of loans in relation to debt financing availed by our Company and our Subsidiaries in Fiscals 2025, 2024
and 2023, we cannot assure that this will continue to be the case in the future. Further, while there have not been any encashment
of guarantees issued by our Company in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 and there has been no default in any loan repayment, we
cannot assure that this will continue to be the case in the future.
Certain of our secured borrowing facilities may also permit the lenders to recall the loan on demand. Such recalls on borrowed
amounts may be contingent upon the occurrence of an event beyond our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able
to persuade our lenders to give us extensions or to refrain from exercising such recalls which may adversely affect our operations
and cash flows. A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary consents/waivers may
lead to an acceleration of amounts due under such facilities enforcement of security, appointment of nominee directors and triggering
of cross default provisions under other financing arrangements. If the obligations under any of our financing documents are
accelerated, we may have to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments under such financing documents,
thereby reducing the availability of cash for our working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. In addition,
during any period in which we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising, further financing. For further
details of the terms and conditions of our borrowing arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 381.
24. We have availed certain unsecured borrowings which are repayable on demand.
As on July 31, 2025, our Company, and its Subsidiaries, have availed unsecured borrowings from third parties aggregating to ₹
77.08 crores (including principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest), which in accordance with the terms of such borrowings
are required to be repaid either on demand or as a bullet payment at the end of the term.
The table below sets out certain details of our Company’s outstanding unsecured borrowings as on July 31, 2025:
Name of the lender Amount outstanding as on July 31, 2025 (in ₹
crores)
HDFC Bank (Non-Fund Based limit utilised) 72.68
The table below sets out certain details of our Subsidiaries outstanding unsecured borrowings as on July 31, 2025:
Name of Subsidiary Name of the lender Amount outstanding as on July 31, 2025 (in ₹
crores)
Paramount Wind Farms Private Limited Powerica Limited 3.00
Vartaman Wind Energy Private Limited Powerica Limited 1.40
In the event the relevant lender demands repayment of the outstanding amount from us, at any time during the tenor of these
borrowings, and if we are unable to repay such outstanding amount at that point in time, the same shall constitute an event of default
under the relevant borrowing arrangement, which in turn may affect our creditworthiness and future availability of financing. For
further details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information” on page 307.
4625. Certain of our corporate records including form filings to RoC, board and shareholders’ resolutions and challans in relation
to RoC forms are not traceable. Additionally, we are also unable to trace certain share transfer forms in relation to transfer
of shares to/from our Promoters in our corporate records.
Certain of our corporate records in relation to filing of return(s) of allotment and other RoC filings including certain forms for certain
amendments to Memorandum of Association, challans for RoC filings and board and shareholders resolutions, as applicable, are
not traceable. We have included details with respect to such corporate actions in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus such as the names
of the allottees and the specific issue price in relation to certain allotments of equity shares made by our Company based on the
search report dated July 30, 2025 issued by the Independent Practising Company Secretary pursuant to their inspection and
independent verification of the documents made available by our Company, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs at the MCA Portal
and the RoC, and alternate corporate records available with us such as statutory registers maintained by our Company and the
agreements providing for allotment of securities. We have also sent an intimation through our letter dated July 30, 2025 to the RoC
informing them of such missing records. Additionally, for certain rights issues undertaken by us, we are unable to trace certain
applications acceptance and renunciation for Shareholders in relation to such rights issue. Accordingly, for such above matters, we
have relied on other supporting documents, including form filings, the minutes of Board and/or Shareholders meetings and register
of members. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any of the shareholders at the time of rights issue will not claim to have
been deliberately not issued letter of offers and equity shares to which they were entitled. While we have conducted a search for
such documents in our records, we cannot assure you that such records will be available in the future or that we will not be subject
to penalties which may be imposed by the RoC in this regard.
We are also unable to trace certain other old documents, including certain share transfer deeds maintained by our Company. This
includes share transfer forms recording the transfer of certain securities to/from one of our Promoters. Accordingly, for such matters,
we have relied on other supporting documents, including the minutes of board and/or statutory registers. We may be unable to obtain
copies of these documents in the future to ascertain details of the relevant transactions.
While there have been no regulatory proceedings or actions initiated against us in relation to the aforementioned non-availability of
the corporate records and discrepancies, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to legal proceedings, regulatory action or
penalties imposed by statutory or regulatory authorities in this respect, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and reputation.
26. We face high competition from conventional and other clean energy producers and any failure to respond to market changes
in the power backup or renewable energy industry could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and
results of operations.
The markets for our business lines are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological and regulatory changes. Advances in
technology, introduction of new regulations, or changes in industry standards may render some of our offerings obsolete or less
attractive. To remain competitive, it is crucial that we anticipate these changes and introduce new or enhanced solutions promptly.
We cannot guarantee that we will always achieve the technological advances or regulatory responsiveness needed to avoid product
obsolescence. Introducing new offerings also carries risks, such as lack of market acceptance, development delays, or performance
issues.
Additional challenges we face include competitive pricing pressures, the requirement for continued investment in research and
development, and the retention of skilled personnel. If we do not effectively anticipate, develop, and market solutions that align
with technological and market trends, demand for our products and services could decrease, negatively impacting our business,
financial condition, and results of operations. The CPCB IV (Central Pollution Control Board - Stage IV Plus) emission norms for
DG sets in India came into effect from July 2023, replacing the earlier CPCB II norms. (Source: F&S Report) This change primarily
resulted in a short-term impact due to prebuying inventory of CPCB II engines, which we were able to sell within the required
timeframe. While the discontinuation of CPCB II engines has had a positive effect on our operations by improving prices and
margins, the lead time to manufacture CPCB IV compliant DG sets has increased compared to those compliant with CPCB II
standards. Although we have adapted to these changes so far, there is no assurance that we will be able to respond effectively to
future regulatory developments, technological shifts, or market demands. Any failure to do so could adversely affect our
competitiveness and may have a negative impact on our business performance and long-term growth prospects.
Competition in our Generator Set Business is influenced by factors such as product performance, reliability, quality, technology,
price, evolving customer preferences (including a shift towards renewable and hybrid solutions), and the quality of services like
operations and maintenance. Battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) offers silent operation, zero emissions, and is often paired
with rooftop solar is likely to impact demand for DGs. (Source: F&S Report) Demand for our DG sets could also be affected by the
rapid adoption of BESS in urban commercial buildings and IT parks, where power backup needs are predictable. (Source: F&S
Report) In our Wind Power Business, key competitive factors include site availability, equipment performance, project financing
costs, competitor incentives, technical and execution capabilities, maintenance costs and wind conditions. The transition from feed-
in-tariff to auction-based bidding for power tariffs may make achieving capacity targets more difficult and could negatively impact
margins and returns, even when auctions are won. For example, the weighted average tariff under central and state auctions in Fiscal
2025 has reduced to ₹3.7 per unit, which is lower than the ₹4-5 per unit witnessed by the sector under the feed in tariff regime
previously. (Source: CRISIL Report)
47Our competitors may have greater operational, financial, or technical resources, enabling them to achieve better economies of scale
and lower costs of capital. Our market position depends on our financing, development, and operational capabilities, reputation, and
track record. Increased competition during bidding processes or reduced competitive capabilities could adversely impact our market
share and project margins. Competitors may form alliances or affiliations, establish in-house EPC and O&M capabilities, or merge
with suppliers and contractors, limiting our choices and flexibility in project execution.
Growing competition may result in a decline in our market share or may force us to reduce the prices of our products and services,
which may reduce our revenues and margins, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
27. There have been discrepancies and delays with respect to certain regulatory filings and corporate actions taken by our
Company. Consequently, we may be subject to regulatory actions and penalties for such delays and our business, financial
condition and reputation may be adversely affected.
There may have been instances of factual discrepancies or typological errors, delays and failures in making certain regulatory filings
by our Company. For example, (i) annual return forms filed by us for years 1989, 1990 and 1991 reflect the total number of shares
allotted by our Company for non-cash consideration wrongfully; (ii) authorized share capital of our Company is wrongfully
mentioned in certain form filings and (iii) record date is wrongfully mentioned in the board resolution for allotment of bonus shares
dated September 17, 1993.
Further, while there have been a delay in respect of the filings of form FC-TRS for buyback of shares by our Company in respect
of securities allotted to non-resident Shareholders, such form filings have been acknowledged by the RBI.
We cannot assure you that the regulatory authorities will not seek further information in relation to such inaccuracies and delays or
take actions against us. Any regulatory actions and/or penalties may adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation.
28. We do not have certain documents evidencing the educational qualifications of one of our Directors in the section entitled
“Our Management” beginning on page 283 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
In accordance with the disclosure requirements stipulated under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the brief biographies of our Directors
disclosed in the section entitled “Our Management” beginning on page 283 include details of their educational qualifications and
professional experience. However, the original documents evidencing such educational qualifications is not available with one of
our Directors, namely, Bharat Oberoi, the Joint Managing Director of our Company who has been unable to trace the copy of his
completion/passing certificate for tenth standard from G.D. Somani Memorial School, Mumbai. Accordingly, we have relied on an
affidavit provided by him to verify the authenticity of the disclosure. While he has made attempts to trace the missing document,
including writing to the relevant education institution for back-ups evidencing the educational qualification, there can be no
assurances that he will be able to trace the relevant document in the future and that corresponding disclosures do not have any
inadvertent errors or omissions.
29. The ability to deliver electricity generated by our wind power projects to the various counterparties requires the availability
of and access to evacuation infrastructure and transmission systems. Non-availability of or damage to the evacuation
infrastructure may impair our ability to deliver electricity generated from our project, which could materially and adversely
affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to sell electricity depends on the availability of, and access to, transmission systems that deliver power to the contractual
delivery points. These include both the arrangements and physical infrastructure required to interconnect our generation projects
with such transmission systems, which are owned and operated by third parties or by state or central transmission utilities.
The portion of the electricity grid beyond our projects’ interconnection points is managed and controlled by these grid utilities. Such
infrastructure may be subject to outages, constraints, maintenance downtime or damage from natural disasters. For example, our
Khambhaliya Wind Farm SECI – VI project operates under these arrangements, exposing us to risks arising from reliance on third
parties for the ownership, maintenance and operation of critical infrastructure. If evacuation infrastructure is unavailable or damaged,
we may be unable to deliver electricity from affected projects for the duration of the failure. Even if our internal grids remain
operational, we may not be able to evacuate power to the grid and, during such periods, are not entitled to deemed generation
payments for unavailed external evacuation or curtailment.
Furthermore, pursuant to our PPAs and applicable electricity grid codes in India, state or central transmission or distribution utilities
may disconnect our projects from the grid, either partially or fully and without compensation, in the event of emergencies where
they determine that a project poses a risk to personal safety, grid integrity or the quality of electricity supply. This can also occur if
real-time visibility is not provided to load despatch centres.
While we maintain insurance coverage against material damage and machinery breakdown under industrial all risk policies, claims
are subject to deductibles and may not fully cover the losses incurred. Lack of access to, or failure of, evacuation infrastructure or
other transmission facilities may materially impair our ability to deliver electricity to consumers, which could have a material
adverse effect on our revenue, business, assets, liabilities, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
4830. Our Wind Power Business operations require periodic maintenance for which we engage operation and maintenance
(O&M) contractors and incur operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses. Any significant increase in our O&M expenses
will have a negative impact on our profitability.
Our profitability in our Wind Power Business is largely a function of our ability to manage costs during the terms of our PPAs and
to operate our projects at optimal levels. In order to achieve this, we engage O&M contractors to carry out periodic maintenance at
our project sites, which also includes the repair and replacement of damaged parts. Any significant increase in the O&M expenses
will have a negative impact on our profitability.
The table below sets forth our operations and maintenance expenses for the IPP operations of our Wind Power Business as a
percentage of our total expenses for the years indicated:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Particulars
(₹ crores, unless otherwise indicated)
Operations & maintenance expenses for IPP operations of our Wind Power 46.51 38.55 39.22
Business (A)
Total expenses (B) 2,465.3 2,016.04 2,222.38
Operations & maintenance expenses as a percentage of total expenses (C= 1.88% 1.91% 1.76%
A/B)
There have been instances in the past where delays occurred in carrying out our O&M activities for our Operational Wind Power
Projects, which negatively affected our Wind Power Business operations. However, our assets are covered by comprehensive
insurance policies, including all-risk, fire, theft, spare part damage, machinery, and coverage for loss of generation exceeding seven
days. As a result, these delays have not had a material adverse impact on our profitability.
Our wind power projects may not continue to perform as they have in the past or as expected, and there can be no assurance that
our Wind Power Business O&M expenses will not increase in the future or that we will be able to pass on such increases to our
consumers. If we are unable to manage our costs effectively or to operate our wind power projects at optimal levels, our profit
margins, and therefore our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
31. We are subject to performance risk from third parties under service and supply contracts. Non-performance, delayed
performance, or delivery of defective components by our vendors could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash
flows, financial condition, and results of operations.
We rely significantly on third parties for the provision of essential goods and services, including spare parts, equipment, materials,
and operational and technical support, O&M services, which are critical for our project execution and ongoing operations, across
both our Generator Set Business as well as our Wind Power Business. There can be no assurance that our vendors and contractors
will perform as agreed throughout the contract term.
For WTG purchases, we enter into supply, erection, commissioning, and O&M agreements, which usually include warranties and
performance guarantees. WTG warranties typically last for two years from the earlier of the commissioning or supply date. However,
certain BoP components have significantly shorter warranty periods. These shorter warranty periods materially increase the risk that
we may become responsible for equipment defects or failures soon after commissioning, with limited recourse to the supplier for
repairs or replacement. Additionally, warranties may expire before equipment is actually deployed, and if suppliers fail to honour
warranty commitments due to financial difficulties or other reasons, we may face significant unplanned maintenance costs.
As part of our Generator Set Business, we provide Cummins engines powered high speed generator solutions, by way of designing,
manufacturing, marketing, testing, supplying, installing and commissioning a comprehensive range of DG sets with capacities
ranging from 7.5 kVA to 3,750 kVA. We source engines and alternators for these DG sets directly from Cummins. Using these
Cummins-supplied components, we assemble the DG sets together with auxiliary items that we manufacture, including acoustic
enclosures, fuel and exhaust systems, and customised control panel systems. The, Cummins engines ranging from 7.5 kVA to 2,500
kVA are covered by the standard warranty provided by Cummins India, whereas engines in the range of 2,750 kVA to 3,750 kVA
are covered by the global warranty from Cummins Inc. As part of our MSLG business, we provide comprehensive solutions,
encompassing pre-purchase consultancy, design, engineering, sales, testing, installation and O&M services integrated with Hyundai-
made MSLG sets.
These products, which are critical for our project execution and ongoing operations, are subject to warranty provisions. However,
vendor liabilities for breaches of warranty are commonly capped, and we would be responsible for losses beyond these caps. Non-
performance, delayed performance, or delivery of defective components by vendors can disrupt project or manufacturing schedules
and increase our costs, particularly if suitable alternative vendors or replacement products are not available.
We also face ongoing performance risks with O&M contractors, who may not meet expected standards or contractual requirements.
If an O&M contractor becomes insolvent or ceases operations, we may encounter difficulties securing timely replacements. Poor
planning or execution by O&M contractors can result in insufficient servicing, infrastructure maintenance failures, resource
shortages, and ultimately the degradation of our power plants and profitability.
49Mechanical failures or shutdowns caused by third-party equipment may require shutting down associated undamaged equipment,
adversely affecting the performance of our products or facilities and thereby reducing generating capacity. Prolonged stoppages can
result in contractual penalties, loss of customers, and reputational harm. Importantly, while our agreements require manufacturers
to provide warranties against equipment failures and, in some cases, for defects within a specified period, any equipment failures
occurring after the warranty periods will require repairs or replacements at our own cost. Further, our contracts typically exclude
consequential damages, meaning warranty performance may not fully cover all losses incurred.
These risks, including the risk of short warranty periods and inability to recover beyond contractual caps, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.
32. We generally do not have long-term agreements with a majority of our customers or suppliers in our Generator Set Business,
which exposes us to risks arising from fluctuating demand and supply relationships. Furthermore, certain of our
agreements with key customers in our Generator Set Business have onerous terms which could result in termination if
breached which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
We do not have long-term agreements with the majority of our customers and suppliers in our Generator Set Business. This lack of
long-term commitments exposes us to the risk of variations in customer demand and supply arrangements, which could lead to
fluctuations and uncertainties in our Generator Set Business. Furthermore, given that we do not execute long-term agreements with
majority of customers, our order may be cancelled or amended at any time prior to delivery of our products and we may not have
any recourse in the events of an unexpected delay or cancellation of orders. In the absence of exclusive contracts with our customers,
our customers may also replace our products with those of our competitors on short notice. While there have been no such instances
in the past that would have had any material bearing on our operations, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur in
the future. Additionally, if we fail to meet our contractual obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our customers may be entitled to
liquidated damages, as per the terms of the purchase orders. We also have liabilities in a number of situations including where
damages are imposed by Government authorities relating to tax, environment, social or labour responsibilities to which we are
subject. In the event such risks materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially
adversely affected. In the event of termination due to our default, we are also required to pay the customers differentiated costs
actually incurred by the customer on completion of supply at the prevailing market rates for the supplies not delivered by the date
of termination.
33. We have experienced significant growth in recent years; however, our ability to sustain or effectively manage this growth
depends on the successful implementation of our growth strategy. Any failure to implement our strategy effectively or to
sustain our growth may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We have experienced significant growth in the past few years. Set forth below are details of our total income, EBITDA and EBITDA
Margin in the corresponding periods:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Particulars
(₹ crores, except percentages)
Revenue from Operations 2,653.27 2,210.00 2,378.26
EBITDA(1) 345.66 362.45 333.21
EBITDA Margin(2) 13.03% 16.40% 14.01%
Notes:
(1) EBITDA is calculated as Profit before tax + Finance cost + Depreciation and amortization expense – Other income – Exceptional items) for the year
(2) EBITDA Margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenue from operations.
For more details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of
Operations – Results of Operations for the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023” and “Other Financial Information—Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Measures” on pages 396 and 379, respectively.
Notwithstanding the above, we may not be able to sustain historical growth rates due to a range of factors, including reduced demand
for our products and services, technological changes, increased competition, limited availability of raw materials or key components,
management constraints, or a general economic slowdown. Successfully delivering our growth strategy depends on several factors,
such as sourcing materials at cost-effective prices, prioritising the right geographic markets, recruiting and retaining skilled
personnel, securing projects on acceptable terms, obtaining finance for expansion on favourable terms, negotiating commercially
viable customer contracts or orders, and continued access to economic incentives.
Our success relies heavily on our ability to implement our strategies effectively, particularly our growth plan to expand the Wind
Power Business and capitalise on ongoing demand for generator sets. Please see “Our Business – Strategies” on page 239 for
additional information. There is no assurance that our growth strategies will be realised on time, within budget, or deliver the
anticipated results. We expect our strategies to place significant demands on management, requiring ongoing improvements in our
operational, financial, and internal control systems, as well as in technology. Any failure to implement our strategies effectively
could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
5034. We are heavily dependent on the performance of the generator sets and wind power industry and the performance of the
end-user industries for generator sets. Any adverse changes in the conditions affecting the generator sets and wind power
industry or the end-user industries in which our generator sets customers operate can adversely impact our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Our business depends on continued growth and demand within the generator set and wind power industries, as well as on the
performance of key end-user sectors. If activity slows in real estate, manufacturing, infrastructure or construction, demand for
generator sets may decrease. For example, fewer new building projects or a reduction in factory output could reduce the need for
our Generator Set Business products.
Demand for our DG sets could also be affected by the rapid adoption of BESS in urban commercial buildings and IT parks, where
power backup needs are predictable. (Source: F&S Report). These are being adopted in some urban commercial and information
technology settings due to benefits like silent operation and zero emissions and is often paired with rooftop solar. (Source: F&S
Report) Tighter emission regulations may increase compliance costs, lead to design modifications and lengthen development cycles
for OEMs. For end users, especially in cost-sensitive sectors, this could result in delayed purchase decisions or re-evaluation of backup power
strategies. However, the shift towards advanced DG technologies, ensuring their continued relevance in sectors where reliability and high-
power density remain non-negotiable. (Source: F&S Report)
Our Wind Power Business remains exposed to changes in government policy, the availability of suitable land, transmission
infrastructure challenges and fluctuations in capital costs. Reliance on a few states for project locations also increases risk if local
issues arise.
If negative trends in the generator set or wind power industries, or in the main user sectors, continue or increase, our business
operations and financial results may be adversely affected. For details of such threats and challenges in India’s renewable energy
industry, please see “Industry Overview – Standby Power and DG Market — Potential threats/risks to the DG businesses” and
“Industry Overview – Indian Renewable Energy Industry — Threats and Challenges” beginning on pages 176 and 220.
35. Our success depends on our ability to retain and attract qualified Senior Management and other Key Managerial Personnel,
and if we are not able to retain them or recruit additional qualified personnel, we may be unable to successfully develop
our business.
We benefit from the skills, expertise and experience of our employees, particularly, our Senior Management and Key Managerial
Personnel, and the loss of any of them could adversely affect our business, growth and results of operations. Our Senior Management
and Key Managerial Personnel have been instrumental in implementing our growth strategies and expanding our business.
As on March 31, 2025, our Company had a total of 695 employees for our Generator Set Business and 182 employees for our Wind
Power Business operations. The table below sets forth our employee benefits expenses as a percentage of our total income for the
years indicated:
(₹ crores, unless otherwise indicated)
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Employee benefits expense (A) 114.28 113.46 94.84
Revenue from Operations (B) 2,653.27 2,210.00 2,378.26
Employee benefits expense as a percentage of Revenue from Operations (C = A/B) 4.31% 5.13% 3.99%
If one or more of our Key Managerial Personnel or members of Senior Management or other qualified personnel are unable or
unwilling to continue their services with us, we might not be able to replace them easily, in a timely manner, or at all. This in turn
could have a material adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Except as stated in
the section “Our Management — Changes in our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management in the three immediately
preceding years” on page 299, there have been no changes in our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management in the three
years preceding the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We cannot guarantee that there will be no future alterations to our
Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management.
Our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, and therefore we cannot assure you that we will
be able to attract or retain engineers, qualified staff, or other highly skilled employees. As we build our brand and become recognized
across our existing markets and target markets, the risk that our competitors or other companies may poach our talent increases. The
table below provides our employee attrition rates for the years indicated:
As of during the Fiscal ended March 31,
Particulars
2025 2024 2023
Total number of employees 877 819 764
Attrition Rate (%)(1) 9.76% 7.58% 9.16%
Note:
(1) Attrition rate refers to refers to the percentage of employees who have left the Company (voluntarily or involuntarily) during a given fiscal year, calculated
as a proportion of the average total number of employees during that year. The attrition rate is calculated using the following formula: Attrition Rate (%) =
(Number of employees who left during the year / Average number of employees during the year) × 100
51Furthermore, India has stringent labour legislation that protects the interests of workers, including legislation that sets forth detailed
procedures for the establishment of unions, dispute resolution, and employee removal, and legislation that imposes certain financial
obligations on employers upon retrenchment.
If we fail to identify and recruit strategic personnel, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations could be
adversely affected. Any loss of members of our Senior Management or Key Managerial Personnel could significantly delay or
prevent the achievement of our business objectives and could harm our business and consumer relationships. We may need to invest
significant amounts of cash to attract and retain new employees, and we may never realize returns on these investments. If we are
not able to retain and motivate our current personnel or effectively retain employees, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives,
and our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
36. Any delay in payment of statutory dues by our Company in future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may
have an adverse effect on our Company’s business, result of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our Company is required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions and employee state insurance
contributions under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the Employees’ State Insurance
Act, 1948, respectively and professional taxes and labour welfare fund charges.
As of March 31, 2025, our Company has 877 permanent employees. The table below sets out the employee related statutory
payments which were applicable for our Company during Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:

52We are generally regular in depositing statutory dues. These delays were primarily due to procedural and administrative reasons.
While we have subsequently made payments in relation to the pending statutory dues, we cannot assure you that in future there will
be no similar delays and no penalties or fines that can be levied by regulators, and which can have material impact on our financial
condition and cash flows.
37. The construction and operation of wind power projects may face opposition from local communities and other parties,
resulting in delays, additional costs, or regulatory hurdles. This could adversely affect our ability to construct, operate, or
expand wind power projects, potentially resulting in financial loss and reputational damage.
The construction and operation of wind power projects has, from time to time, faced opposition from local communities and special
interest groups, and such opposition may recur in the future. While the Company generally has normal access for routine operations
and maintenance activities for its wind power projects, major repairs such as blade or large component replacements may require
crane access and additional right of way. Despite having long-term right of way agreements, the Company has experienced incidents
of encroachment by local communities, sometimes accompanied by demands for payment and requiring police intervention to
restore access. The risk of such encroachment and related disruption to our operations remains, and there is no assurance that similar
issues will not occur in the future or that enforcement action will always be effective. For example, local hindrances and right of
way disputes have at times disrupted the operation of our WTGs, potentially resulting in lost generation and reduced profitability.
On September 25, 2023, at a WTG site in Kalavad village, Khambaliya, local villagers blocked crane access for three days, citing
damage to the causeway. Similarly, at a WTG site in Charbara village, a local farmer blocked blade access platform access and
encroached onto the site during blade repairs. Additionally, in relation to our under-construction 51.3 MW Orchid Phase I SECI
XVI project in Gujarat, some landowners have resisted the installation of poles, towers and transmission lines, despite Section 68
approval for the transmission line, raising additional demands. This opposition has led to extensions in the project’s construction
schedule. For details see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 406.
Many countries have enacted legislation that regulates the accepted distance between wind farms and urban areas to guard against
potential negative effects. Although we believe that we are in compliance with regulations in India, it is possible that such legislation
could be amended to place further restrictions on distance, or to limit the size or height of wind turbine generators in a given area,
to prohibit the installation of wind turbine generators at certain sites, or to impose other restrictions, such as noise restrictions. For
the foregoing reasons, we may encounter difficulties in acquiring land, which may delay or prevent the implementation of our future
wind farms.
A significant increase in the extent of applicable legislation could cause significant constraints on the growth of the wind power
industry as a whole. In addition, such legislation could lead to delays in the implementation of our wind farms, relocation of our
wind farms, and the possible redundancy of existing wind farms that violate such legislation, any of which could have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
38. Certain of our Subsidiaries have incurred losses in the last three fiscals and any similar losses in the future may adversely
affect our business, financial condition and cash flows.
Certain of our Subsidiaries have incurred losses in the last three Fiscal years. The details of profit/(loss) before tax of such
Subsidiaries are set forth in the table below:
Entity Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
(in ₹ crore)
Paramount Wind Farms Private Limited (0.09) (0.06) (0.02)
Vartaman Wind Energy Private Limited (0.24) (0.39) 0.05
Wind Stride Power Private Limited (0.01) - -
Powerica Renewable Infra Private Limited 34.31 (0.52) (0.04)
Powerica Power Systems (FZE) 2.05 (0.19) 7.44
Our Subsidiaries incurred losses primarily due to being in the early stages of operations and/or resulting from a low level of business
activity relative to fixed and operational expenses. We cannot assure you that our Subsidiaries will not incur losses in the future, or
that such losses will not adversely affect our reputation or our business.
39. Our ability to access capital at attractive costs depends on our credit ratings. Non-availability of credit ratings or a poor
rating may restrict our access to capital and thereby adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and
results of operations.
The cost and availability of capital, among other factors, is also dependent on our current and future results of operations and
financial conditions, our ability to effectively manage risks, our brand and our credit ratings. We may not be able to avail of the
requisite amount of financing or obtain financing at competitive interest rates if we fail to have favourable results of operations. The
following table sets forth our details of credit rating received of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus:
53Rating Agency Instruments Credit Rating Date
Long term rating – CRISIL AA/Stable (Reaffirmed)
CRISIL Limited Bank loan facility September 3, 2024
Short term rating – CRISIL A1+ (Reaffirmed)
Long term rating – CRISIL AA-/Positive (Outlook revised
CRISIL Limited Bank loan facility from ‘Stable’; Rating reaffirmed) June 23, 2023
Short term rating – CRISIL A1+ (Reaffirmed)
Long term rating – CRISIL AA-/Positive (Reaffirmed)
CRISIL Limited Bank loan facility April 6, 2022
Short term rating – CRISIL A1+ (Reaffirmed)
Such credit ratings reflect the opinion of the rating agency on our management, track record, increase in scale and operations and
margins and operating cycle. While we have not experienced downgrading in our credit ratings received recently, including in
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, any downgrade in our credit ratings or our inability to obtain such credit rating in a timely manner or
any non-availability of credit ratings, or poor ratings, could increase borrowing costs, will give the right to our lenders to review the
facilities availed by us under our financing arrangements and adversely affect our access to capital and debt markets, which could
in turn adversely affect our interest margins, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
40. Failure to enter into off-take arrangements with respect to our wind power projects, in a timely manner and on terms that
are commercially acceptable to us, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Currently, power generation companies are not permitted to sell electricity directly to retail power consumers. Thus, for our
operational and planned wind power projects, we are limited to selling power to state utility companies, electricity boards, industrial
consumers and licensed power traders. In addition, although we intend to participate in future public reverse auctions for our IPP
projects to supply wind power to distribution companies, we cannot assure you that we will win any of the auctions in the future.
Also, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into off-take arrangements on terms that are favourable to us, or at all.
Failure to enter into such off-take arrangements in a timely manner and on terms that are commercially acceptable to us could
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, the duration of our off-take arrangements may not match the project life or duration of the related financing arrangements
for our wind farms and we may be exposed to refinancing risk. In the event of an increase in interest rates, our debt service cost may
increase at the time of refinancing our loan facilities and other financing arrangements, but our revenues under the relevant power
purchase agreements may not correspondingly increase or we may not be able to collect our receivables in a timely manner. In
addition, our power purchase agreements may expire or be terminated and we may not have sufficient revenues to meet our debt
service obligations or be able to arrange sufficient borrowings to refinance those obligations on commercially acceptable terms, or
at all. This mismatch between our financing arrangements and our corresponding power purchase agreements may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
41. Our business is dependent on the regulatory and policy environment affecting the renewable energy sector in India. A
change in policy that results in the termination of policy benefits or curtailment of renewable energy generation may
adversely affect our business.
The constantly changing regulatory and policy environment could significantly impact our business. We are subject to various
Indian laws, such as the Electricity Act, 2003 and rules made thereunder, National Tariff Policy, regulations by central and state
electricity regulatory commissions, regulations by Central Electricity Authority and policies/regulations of the respective state
governments that influence our operations and financial stability. Furthermore, proposed amendments or new interpretations of
existing rules could increase compliance costs and demand administrative attention. For further details regarding regulations
applicable to us, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 262. Unanticipated legal changes and unfavourable regulatory
interpretations remain a risk for our financial performance.
The entirety of our operating portfolio is located in the state of Gujarat. We depend in part on government policies that support
renewable energy and enhance the economic feasibility of developing renewable energy projects. The GoI and the state government
of Gujarat provide incentives and support the generation and sale of renewable energy. If any of these incentives or policies are
adversely amended, eliminated or not extended beyond their current expiration dates, or if funding for these incentives is reduced,
or if governmental support of renewable energy development, particularly wind energy, is discontinued or reduced, it could
adversely affect our ability to obtain financing, the viability of new renewable energy projects constructed based on current tariff
and cost assumptions or the profitability of our existing projects, and may also have a material adverse effect on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Subject to compliance with conditions prescribed under Section 80-IA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 our Company is eligible for a
100% deduction on profits derived, for units that commenced power generation on or before March 31, 2017. However, for the
Fiscal 2026, only two of the Operational Wind Power Projects of our Company shall remain eligible for this deduction. Additionally,
we are also eligible to claim additional depreciation upto 10 – 20% of the actual cost of any new machinery or plant that is acquired
and installed by us, subject to compliance with specified conditions provided under Section 32(1)(iia) Income-tax Act, 1961. Upon
the expiry or in case of withdrawal of available tax holidays or other fiscal incentives we may experience a negative impact our
capital expenditure planning and profitability of our Company. For further details, see “Statement of Possible Special Tax Benefits”
on page 136.
54Regulatory authorities also notify technical requirements for constructing projects from time to time and there is no certainty that
adverse impacts of such notifications on time, cost of construction or operating costs will be granted relief under any applicable
change in law provisions. For example, a working group with members from the Central Electricity Authority (“CEA”), the Central
Transmission Utility (“CTU”), the Power System Operation Corporation and SECI was convened in a meeting held on September
23, 2021 under the Chairmanship of Member (Grid Operation & Distribution) of CEA to discuss issues related to compliance of the
CEA Technical Standards by RE Generators. The working group issued a report in respect of data submission procedure and
verification of compliance to CEA Technical Standards by RE Generators in July 2022, which specified several new requirements
before approvals for commissioning could be issued to renewable energy projects connected to CTU networks. As of the date of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have one Operational Wind Power Project and two Under Construction Wind Power Projects
that are connected to the CTU network. Another example, as per a recent requirement under the Grid Code regulation necessitated
the installation of Statcom systems in wind power projects leading to additional technical complexity, cost, as well as time thereby
impacting our construction timelines.
The GoI has accorded renewable energy “must-run” status, which means that any wind, solar or small hydro power that is generated
must always be accepted by the grid. However, certain state utilities or load despatch centres may order the curtailment of renewable
energy generation despite this status and there have been instances of such orders citing grid safety and stability issues being
introduced in the past. Even though the CEA has in the past created mechanisms for recording such instances, along with the relevant
justification, and has decided to investigate such instances of violation of “must run” status, there can be no assurance that state
authorities will diligently provide this information or such investigation will be completed at all or will result in a favourable
outcome. Any future curtailment of renewable energy production may interrupt our operations, subject us to penalty payments for
short supplies to our consumers and may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results
of operations. There can be no assurance that the GoI will continue to maintain the “must-run” status for renewable energy or that
the state electricity boards will not make any orders to curtail the generation of renewable energy. In October 2021, the GoI notified
the Electricity (Promotion of Generation from Renewable Sources of Energy by Addressing Must Run and Other Matters) Rules,
2021, primarily aimed at compliance with “must run” status and for payment of compensation in the event of violation of “must
run” rules.
Therefore, any change in policy that results in the curtailment of renewable energy generation may adversely affect our business. A
delay or failure by governmental authorities to administer incentive programs in a timely and efficient manner could also adversely
affect our ability to obtain financing for our projects. These may, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business, cash flows,
financial condition and results of operations.
42. Certain agreements may be inadequately stamped, unregistered, or may lack necessary disclosure, which could adversely
affect our rights and operations.
We enter into a range of agreements in the ordinary course of our business, including lease agreements, financing documents,
contracts for procurement of raw materials and components and other commercial arrangements. Some of these agreements may
not have been adequately stamped or duly registered as required under applicable laws, or may not contain all disclosures required
by regulatory authorities.
Under Indian law, certain agreements (such as leases, conveyances, or transfers of immovable property) are required to be
sufficiently stamped and registered with the relevant authorities. Inadequate stamping or failure to register may result in documents
not being admissible as evidence in legal proceedings and may attract penalties or fines from regulatory authorities. Furthermore, if
an agreement lacks required disclosures, third parties or regulators may challenge its enforceability or question our compliance with
legal or regulatory obligations.
If we are unable to enforce our rights under these agreements or are required to pay penalties, fines, or additional stamp duty, it
could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we seek to ensure that our key
agreements are appropriately stamped, registered, and disclosed, there can be no assurance that all agreements are in full compliance,
or that we will not face challenges or liabilities in the future relating to such matters.
43. Certain of our Group Companies and Subsidiaries are engaged in the same or similar line of business as our Company,
which may lead to conflicts of interest and increased competition.
One of our Group Companies, Airpower Windfarms Private Limited, which was sold to Torrent Green Energy Private Limited in
Fiscal 2024, was identified as our Group Company based on related party transactions in Fiscals 2023 and 2024. Airpower
Windfarms Private Limited is engaged in, inter alia, generation, transmission and distribution of energy including renewable sources
of energy and EPC contracting and consulting as authorised under its memorandum of association which is a line of business that
is similar to that conducted by us. For further details, see section titled “Our Group Companies” beginning on page 415 and “History
and Certain Corporate Matters - Details regarding material acquisitions or divestments of business/undertakings, mergers,
amalgamations or any revaluation of assets, in the last 10 years” beginning on page 278. Our Subsidiaries, Powerica Renewable
Infra Private Limited (formerly known as Airstream Windfarms Private Limited), Paramount Windfarms Private Limited, Vartaman
Wind Energy Private Limited, and Windstride Power Private Limited are engaged in similar line of business as our Company. For
further details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters – Our Subsidiaries” on page 273.
55Further, one of our Group Companies, AWT Energy Private Limited under its memorandum of association is authorized to engage
in business similar to that of our Company. However, as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, AWT Energy Private
Limited is not involved in any activity, or interested in any entity conducting activity, similar to that of the business of our Company.
While our Company shall adopt necessary procedures, practices or measures to address and mitigate potential conflicts situations if
and when they arise, there can be no assurance that such conflicts will always be resolved in our favour.
If any Group Company or Promoter Group member competes with us or if conflicts of interest are not managed effectively, our
business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
44. We may face significant costs, reputational damage and adverse effects on our business and financial condition due to
product liability claims.
In our Generator Set Business, we are exposed to inherent risks of product liability or recall claims if our products fail to perform
as expected, or if such failure causes bodily injury or property damage. We do not currently maintain product liability insurance and
may lack adequate coverage for potential claims. Defending product liability claims can be costly. An adverse outcome in such a
claim could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have faced multiple instances of product
performance issues raised by our customers which have been settled through various means including repairs or replacement of the
product in the normal course of business. Further, our Generator Set Business relies on the strong brand reputation we have
established. Any damage to our reputation could make it more difficult to maintain market share or pricing, which would likely
reduce our sales and profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to detect and fix any defects any such product
performance issues in future which could lead to customer complaints and harm our reputation and result in negative publicity. We
could experience loss of revenue and product liability claims, incur significant expenses including warranty claims, and be subject
to lawsuits. Any of the foregoing could divert our management’s attention and other resources and materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
45. Compliance with, and changes in, safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to a broad range of safety, health and environmental laws and regulations in our business in which we operate. Our
manufacturing facilities and wind power projects are located in India, and are subject to Indian laws and government regulations on
safety, health and environmental protection. For details regarding environmental regulations applicable to us, see “Key Regulations
and Policies in India” on page 262.
These laws and regulations impose controls on the storage, handling, discharge and disposal of chemicals, as well as requirements
governing employee exposure to dangerous work conditions, noise pollution from manufacturing facilities and other aspects of our
operations and products. In particular, safety, health and environmental laws and regulations in India have become increasingly
stringent, and it is possible that future requirements will become even more demanding. The costs of complying with these
requirements could be significant. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, operating costs to comply with such laws and
regulations. In addition, we have made, and expect to continue to make, capital expenditures on an ongoing basis to comply with
safety, health and environmental requirements.
While we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable safety, health and environmental laws and regulations,
any discharge of raw materials, hazardous substances, noise, or other pollutants into the air, soil or water could nevertheless result
in liability to the government or to third parties. We may also be required to incur costs to remedy damage caused by such discharges
or to pay fines or penalties for non-compliance.
Furthermore, many countries including India have introduced legislation governing the manufacture, erection, operation and
decommissioning of WTGs. These requirements include compliance with procedures for the acquisition of land for wind farms,
compliance with relevant planning regulations and obtaining the necessary approvals and clearances from environmental regulators
before commencing operations. Additionally, extraction activities on land used for wind farms and the refining and noise associated
with the transport of materials to and from production sites are subject to regulation. If legislation and regulation concerning these
activities become more stringent, such as by increasing the requirements for obtaining approvals or government standards, we could
face changes to the infrastructure necessary for wind farms, increased costs related to modifying production methods and greater
penalties for non-compliance.
We cannot assure you that we will not become involved in litigation or other proceedings, or be held responsible in the future for
matters relating to safety, health and environmental issues; the costs of such proceedings could be material. Clean up and remediation
costs of our sites and related litigation could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
5646. We may suffer significant construction delays and finance or construction cost increases in excess of our expectations,
leading to time and cost overruns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations.
Developing existing sites and finalising new projects are crucial to our business growth. Failure to meet operational, financial or
development targets, or to secure suitable projects for our portfolio, may hinder our progress. Construction of wind and hybrid
projects is especially vulnerable to delays arising from logistical challenges, adverse weather, local opposition, regulatory constraints
and contractor underperformance. Additional risks include unexpected rises in material or labour costs, changes to project scope,
and difficulties in land acquisition or right-of-way clearance, all of which can inflate project budgets.
Such delays and cost overruns may defer the commencement of revenue generation and could result in breaches of contract, leading
to penalties or loss of business. They may also necessitate the re-negotiation of financing terms or even trigger the withdrawal of
lender support. Consequently, we face the risk of significant construction delays and increased finance or construction costs due to
factors such as:
• delay or failure to receive critical components and equipment that meet our design specifications and can be delivered on
schedule;
• delay caused due to poor financial and operating health of OEM;
• delay or failure to obtain all necessary rights to land access and use;
• delay or failure to receive quality and timely performance of third-party services;
• delay or failure to secure and maintain environmental and other permits or approvals;
• delay in announcement of regulatory procedures and policies;
• appeals of environmental and other permits or approvals that we obtain;
• delay or failure to obtain capital to develop our projects;
• inadequate grid infrastructure and delay or failure in obtaining rights to interconnect the project to the grid or to transmit
energy;
• shortage of skilled human resource;
• inclement weather conditions;
• adverse environmental and geological conditions;
• general supply chain interruptions;
• force majeure or other events out of our control;
• changes in commodity prices; and
• fluctuations on foreign exchange rates impacting equipment and supplier costs.
Any of these factors could also prevent us from completing the construction of a project, cause defaults under our financing
agreements or cause the affected project to be unprofitable for us, in particular, in cases where penalties or commitment charges are
levied or tariff rates change unfavourably due to delays, which could also adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, the commissioning of our Under Construction Wind Power Projects or Pipeline Projects may be delayed or left
incomplete due to a range of factors, including failure to meet installation and inspection protocols, changes in regulations, and
challenges in obtaining statutory approvals. Additional factors such as requirements for inspection, field commissioning, acceptance
testing, controller power-up testing, and start-up activities for each unit may also contribute to delays. Furthermore, our Pipeline
Projects may not materialise for various reasons, including failure to secure connectivity, project non-feasibility, lack of land
availability, not winning bids for power purchase agreements, or being outbid by competitors. If we are unable to commission our
projects as planned, we may incur contractual and legal liabilities, become involved in disputes, and suffer financial loss and
reputational damage.
For example, commissioning of our 51.3 MW Orchid Phase – 1 Project in Gujarat may be extended due to local right of way
constraints, principally during the construction of transmission lines. Increasing congestion from multiple projects at our project
sites continues to worsen these challenges. As a result of such delays, we may incur additional interest costs during the construction
period. Going forward, similar issues could expose us to further delays and cost overruns, including increased interest during
construction costs, which could affect the revenues and profitability of both our own projects and our BoP EPC projects.
Any of these factors could cause construction delays and increase our actual construction costs beyond estimates, which could have
a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
5747. We may be unable to identify or secure suitable sites for the development of renewable energy projects, which could
adversely affect our growth prospects and business operations.
The successful development of renewable energy projects, such as wind or solar power plants, depends on our ability to identify,
acquire, and secure sites that are suitable in terms of location, resource availability, grid connectivity, environmental conditions, and
land use permissions. There is significant competition for high-quality sites, and regulatory, environmental, or land ownership
constraints may limit the availability of suitable locations. Acquired land locations may remain unutilized, additionally, delay in
land acquisition could increase the cost of interest during construction period.
If we are unable to find or acquire appropriate sites, our ability to execute renewable energy projects on time and within budget
could be adversely affected. This risk may result in project delays, loss of business opportunities, increased costs associated with
acquiring suboptimal land, or failure to meet expansion targets. Moreover, difficulties in acquiring land or obtaining necessary
consents and permits from regulatory authorities or local communities may further impede development efforts.
An inability to secure suitable sites for renewable energy projects could therefore negatively impact our business growth, future
revenues, and overall results of operations.
48. There are outstanding litigation proceedings involving our Company, Directors and Promoters. Any adverse outcome in
such proceedings may have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
There are outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, Directors and Promoters, which are pending at various levels of
adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities.
The table below sets forth a summary of the litigation involving our Company, Directors, Promoters, Subsidiaries, Key Managerial
Personnel and members of Senior Management.

* To the extent quantifiable.
There is no pending litigation involving our Group Companies which will have a material impact on our Company.
For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page 406.
There can be no assurance that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour, or in favour of our Promoters and Directors.
Furthermore, as of March 31, 2025, we may not have made provisions for certain litigations, where we have determined that such
provisioning is not necessary. However, we cannot guarantee that no further liabilities will arise in relation to these legal matters.
Any adverse decisions in these proceedings could negatively impact our reputation, business, financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows.
5849. A majority of Directors on our Board do not have prior experience of directorship in any of companies listed on recognized
stock exchanges, therefore, they will be able to provide only a limited guidance in relation to the affairs of our Company
post listing.
Except for Maheswar Sahu and Tapan Ray, our remaining Directors do not have prior experience as directors of companies listed
on recognized stock exchanges. Directors of listed companies have a wide range of responsibilities, including, among others,
ensuring compliance with continuing listing obligations, monitoring and overseeing management, operations, financial condition
and trajectory of the company. We cannot assure you that our Directors will be able to adequately manage our Company after we
become a listed company, due to their lack of prior experience as directors of companies listed on recognized stock exchanges, since
we will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations. Their limited experience in dealing with the
increasingly complex laws pertaining to listed companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing
amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth
of the Company. Our Company may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training
in the accounting policies, practices or internal control over financial reporting required of listed companies. The development and
implementation of the standards and controls and the hiring of experienced personnel necessary to achieve the level of accounting
standards required of a listed company may require costs greater than expected.
Accordingly, we will get limited guidance from them and accordingly, may fail to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls, procedures and internal control as required for a listed entity under the applicable law.
50. Changes in the price of wind turbines and other materials due to changes in demand or other factors may cause cost overrun
of our under-construction projects.
The operating equipment for our wind energy projects primarily comprises wind turbines, transformers, and inverters, which we
procure from third-party suppliers. While we seek to maintain a competitive cost structure, fluctuations in the prices of wind turbines,
and other key materials, driven by changes in demand or other market factors, pose a risk of cost overruns for our Under Construction
Wind Power Projects.
Although we typically enter into fixed-price agreements with our equipment suppliers, deliveries are phased over the initial year of
construction. If material costs increase significantly during this period, suppliers may face difficulties in honouring the agreed prices
and may seek to renegotiate contract terms before resuming delivery. Such renegotiations can result in delays to our project timelines
and additional costs.
We have experienced price renegotiations with our suppliers in the past, which were settled in the ordinary course of business
without a significant impact on our operations, cash flows, or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that any
similar issues in the future will be resolved as favourably. In the event of material cost increases or supply delays, our Under
Construction Wind Power Projects could face schedule overruns or increased costs, which may adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
51. We require certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary course of business and the failure to obtain or retain such
approvals or licenses in a timely manner or at all may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We are required to maintain certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for operating our business, some of which
may have expired and for which we either may have made, or are in the process of making, an application for obtaining the approval
or its renewal. Additionally, we may need to apply for more approvals in the future and we cannot assure you that we will make
these applications and filings on time in the future. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we may be able to renew our existing
approvals in a timely manner or at all. Failure by us to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals at the requisite
time may result in the interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations. While we intend to apply to renew our existing permits and approvals in a timely manner, the
relevant agency may not renew them, without imposition of stringent conditions. For example, in relation to our manufacturing unit
situated at Maharashtra, the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board has refused the renewal for consent to operate and issued a show-
cause notice for non-compliance with previous consent conditions, non-submission of details of air pollution control systems and
continuing operation of the unit in spite refusal of refusal of earlier consent. While our Company responded to the above-mentioned
show-cause notice and has now obtained the required consent to operate for the said manufacturing unit, we cannot assure you that
going forward the relevant authorities will issue such permits or approvals in the time frame anticipated by us or at all. Further, we
have filed certain renewal and amendment applications in relation to fire NOCs for the manufacturing facilities based in Karnataka
and Silvassa. Additionally for certain of our wind projects situated near forest land or national highways, we are required to obtain
clearance from Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for which we have made the required applications with the
concerned authorities. For details see “Governments and Other Approvals” on page 412 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
If we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, our business may be adversely
affected. Furthermore, our government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, some of which may require us to
make ongoing compliance-related expenditure. If we fail to comply or a regulator claims that we have not complied with these
conditions, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. Moreover, regulators might
suspend or revoke our licenses if we don't adhere to the terms, which would disrupt our operations. For details see “Governments
and Other Approvals” on page 412 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
5952. Our Company cannot assure payment of dividends on the Equity Shares in the future as we may be limited by our earnings,
financial condition, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants of our financing
arrangements.
Our Company has not declared dividends in the past three Fiscals and from April 1, 2025 until the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring prospectus, we have adopted a formal dividend policy on July 14, 2025. For
further details, see “Dividend Policy” on page 306.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on a number of internal and external factors identified in the dividend policy
of our Company, including but not limited to, financial commitments with respect to the outstanding borrowings and interest thereon,
profits of our company, present and future capital expenditure plans, state of economy and capital markets and any relevant or
material factor as may be deemed fit by the Board. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be
recommended by the Board of Directors and approved by the Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the
Articles of Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act 2013.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future. Accordingly, realization of a gain on Shareholders’
investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of the Equity Shares. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will
appreciate in value.
53. We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages or increased labour costs, which could adversely affect our business,
cash flows and results of operations. We also have a large number of contract labourers and any disruptions in the supply
of such contractual employees could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash
flows.
Our operational success depends on the availability of personnel, including both permanent employees and contract labour, as well
as our ability to maintain positive relationships with our workforce. As of March 31, 2025, we employed 695 employees in our
Generator Set Business and 182 employees in our Wind Power Business, across various offices and facilities.
To achieve operational efficiencies and manage fluctuations in workload, we rely significantly on independent contractors, who in
turn engage a substantial number of contract labourers to perform certain ancillary operations. Our reliance on contract labour
exposes us to risks related to both the availability and the quality of such labour. There can be no assurance that we will continue to
have access to sufficient numbers of skilled contract labourers as and when required. Any shortage of available contract labour,
whether due to changes in labour market conditions, regulatory interventions, contractor defaults, or industrial disputes, may disrupt
our normal operations, result in delays or increased costs, and adversely affect our ability to meet production or project timelines.
Moreover, while we do not directly engage these workers, we may be held responsible for wage payments or other statutory
obligations in the event of default by our independent contractors. Funding these wage requirements could have an adverse impact
on our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970,
as amended, we may be required to absorb some contract labourers as permanent employees. Any such order from a regulatory body
or court could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2025, with the exception of 43 employees at our manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, none of our
employees were represented by labour unions or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Furthermore, we have not
experienced any major work stoppages due to labour disputes or cessation of work in the last three Fiscals, there can be no assurance
that we will not experience such disruptions in the future, whether among our employees or our contract labourers. Disputes or
disagreements with any segment of our workforce may adversely affect our ability to continue business operations. We may also
incur additional expenses to train and retain skilled labour. Any labour unrest, including disputes, strikes, lock-outs, or industrial
accidents, could directly or indirectly hinder our normal operating activities. If not resolved in a timely manner, such disruptions,
including those arising from issues affecting contract labour, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
54. An inability to accurately forecast demand or price for our products and manage our inventory may adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Our Generator Set Business depends on manufacturing decisions made in advance based on our estimate of the demand for our
products from customers taking into account historical trends. If we overestimate demand for our products, we run the risk of
purchasing more materials than necessary, which could expose us to risks and costs associated with prolonged storage of some of
these materials, and materially affect our results of operations. Conversely, if our customers place orders for greater quantities of
products compared to their historical requirements, we may not be able to adequately source the necessary materials in a timely
manner, and may not have the required available manufacturing capacity or inventory of raw materials to meet such demand, leading
to loss of business. In addition, if all or a significant number of our suppliers for any particular material are unable or unwilling to
meet our requirements or our estimates fall short of the demand, we could suffer shortages or significant cost increases. For example,
the COVID-19 pandemic had a material impact on our operations, resulting in the closure of our Generator Set Business
manufacturing facilities in Bengaluru, Karnataka; Khopoli, Maharashtra; and Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, to comply with the
lockdown directives issued by the respective local government authorities in Fiscal 2021. While most of our customer contracts
account for increases in raw material costs on a pass-through basis, prolonged supply disruptions could exert pressure on our costs,
and there can be no assurance that all or part of any increased costs can be passed along to our customers in a timely manner or at
all, which could adversely impact our business, prospects and financial performance. For completeness, some of our customer
60contracts in relation to smaller orders do not account for increases in raw material costs and in these instances, we typically absorb
such increases.
The table below sets forth details of our inventory turnover ratio as of the dates indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Inventory turnover ratio(1) 8.99 7.85 10.96
Note:
(1) Inventory turnover ratio is calculated as Revenue from Operations from Manufactured Goods and Stock-in-Trade divided by Average Inventory.
55. The loss of accreditation for our manufacturing facilities and operations could damage our reputation, business, results of
operations and cash flows.
Our quality certifications and accreditations are critical for sales to our customers. We have obtained various quality and process
certifications including ISO 9001:2015 for our Bengaluru and Silvassa factories. If we are unable to comply with the accreditation
criteria or if such agencies determine that we are not in compliance with the prescribed standards and norms, our existing
accreditation may be revoked or not renewed or we may not be granted new accreditations. To ensure continued accreditation with
such agencies, we must ensure consistency and maintain the quality of our products and our manufacturing processes. If we lose
one or more of our accreditations or certifications, our reputation and business prospects may be adversely affected.
56. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to address risks inherent in our business operations, which could adversely
affect our financial position and reputation.
Our business operations expose us to significant risks and hazards, including equipment breakdowns, substandard performance,
third-party liability claims, labour disturbances, employee fraud, and infrastructure failures. Additionally, the construction,
operation, and maintenance of our facilities involve safety risks such as working at heights, heavy lifting, and other activities that
could lead to injuries or fatalities. While we have a safety team that adheres to industry-standard practices and require compliance
with relevant labour laws, lapses may still occur. As a result, we could face reputational damage or financial liability as the principal
employer, even if individual incidents are covered by insurance.
We maintain various insurance policies that we consider adequate for our business, covering areas such as fire, property damage,
plant and machinery, vehicles, and construction-specific risks (e.g., an erection all-risk policy and workmen’s compensation policy).
However, our insurance arrangements may not cover every risk, as certain events may be uninsurable, commercially unfeasible to
insure, or exceed the limits or deductibles of our policies. Additionally, there is no guarantee that our insurance coverage will be
sufficient or that claims under our policies will always be settled in our favour. Some risks may not be identified, and losses arising
from uncovered events could materially harm our financial condition and cash flows.
While we renew our insurance policies in the ordinary course of business, there is no assurance that renewals will be granted on
similar terms, at acceptable costs, or at all. Furthermore, although we have not suffered losses exceeding our insurance coverage in
the last three Fiscals, there is no assurance that such instances will not occur in the future.
The table below provides details with respect to the claims made by the Company in relation to property, plant and equipment,
CWIP and inventory and the respective settlement amounts:
Period Claims made by the Company Settlement amounts (in ₹ Claims under process (in Rejected, salvage and excess

Fiscal 2023 Insured Assets 2,498.02 2,710.07 108.48 %
If we suffer losses or face claims exceeding our insurance coverage, or if claims are rejected, these would need to be absorbed by
the Company, potentially affecting our results of operations, financial performance, and cash flows. For further information on our
insurance arrangements, see “Our Business – Description of our Business – Insurance” on page 259.
6157. We may not be able to detect or prevent theft, fraud, gross negligence or other misconduct committed by our employees or
third parties.
Theft, fraud, gross negligence or other misconduct by our employees, such as unauthorized business transactions, leaking of
confidential information especially in relation to products or projects under development, bribery and breach of any applicable law
or our internal policies and procedures, or by third parties, such as breach of law may be difficult to detect or prevent. It could
subject us to financial loss and sanctions imposed by government authorities while seriously damaging our reputation. While we
have not experienced any material instances of theft, fraud, gross negligence or other misconduct in the past, we may not be
safeguarded against all theft, fraud, gross negligence or misconduct by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by
employees and operational errors. In such event, our ability to effectively attract prospective stakeholders, obtain financing on
favourable terms and conduct other business activities may be impaired.
Our risk management systems, information technology systems and internal control procedures are designed to monitor our
operations and overall compliance. However, we cannot assure you that that the measures we have implemented to detect and reduce
the occurrence of fraudulent activities would be effective in combating fraudulent transactions or improving overall satisfaction
among our stakeholders. Therefore, we are subject to the risk that fraud or other misconduct may have previously occurred but
remains undetected or may occur in the future. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring prospectus, there are no outstanding
whistleblower complaints in our Company’s records. However, any such concerns or complaints in the future may adversely affect
our business, reputation, financial condition, operations and prospects. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to prepare
reliable financial reports and effectively avoid fraud. Any internal controls that we may implement, or our level of compliance with
such controls, may deteriorate over time due to evolving business conditions. In the past three Fiscals, our internal controls have not
been subject to any major deficiencies. However, we cannot assure you that deficiencies in our internal controls will not arise in the
future, or that we will be able to implement and continue to maintain adequate measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies
in our internal controls. Any such deficiencies could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition
and prospects.
58. Changes in technology may render our current technologies obsolete or require us to make substantial capital investments.
Failure to respond to current and future technological changes in an effective and timely manner may adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
The renewable energy sector is technology intensive and characterised by rapid innovation. Our reliance on specific OEMs for wind
turbines and related infrastructure exposes us to risks associated with technological obsolescence and dependence on ongoing
support from these vendors. Should more advanced technologies emerge or if OEMs discontinue support for existing models, we
may face difficulties in sourcing spare parts and technical assistance. This could reduce operational efficiency, increase maintenance
costs, and lower the resale value of our assets. Upgrading or retrofitting infrastructure in response to technological changes may
require significant capital expenditure.
We use technology to enhance operational efficiency, plant availability and output, and aim to maintain current international
standards. However, continual advances in technology mean that certain equipment or processes in our Generator Set Business and
Wind Power Business may become less efficient than newer alternatives. The costs of implementing new technologies, upgrading
existing equipment or expanding capacity could be significant and may negatively impact our business and financial results. For
example, the new evolving grid requirements specify certain technological advancements, which may require us to make substantial
investments. While there have been no instances in the last three Fiscals where we had to make substantial investments on new
technologies to replace our existing technology which has become obsolete, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur
going forward, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
59. Our failure to keep our technical knowledge confidential could erode our competitive advantage.
Like many of our competitors, we possess extensive technical knowledge about our products. We have gained such technical
knowledge through our own experiences and skilled personnel including through business arrangements with our technological
collaborators, which grant us access to new technologies. Our technical knowledge is a significant independent asset, which may
not be adequately protected by intellectual property rights such as patent registration. Some of our technical knowledge is protected
only by secrecy.
Even if all reasonable precautions, whether contractual or otherwise, are taken to protect our confidential technical knowledge of
our products and business, there is still a danger that certain proprietary knowledge may be leaked, either inadvertently or wilfully,
at various stages of the production process. A significant number of our employees have access to confidential design and product
information and we cannot assure you that this information will remain confidential. Moreover, our employees may leave us and
join our various competitors. Although we may seek to enforce the confidentiality provisions as part of the employment letters in
respect of certain key employees, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful. We also enter into non-disclosure agreements
with certain customers and suppliers but we cannot assure you that such agreements will be successful in protecting our technical
knowledge. Such disclosure may prevent any or all of our designs and products from being patented, and thus we may have no
recourse against copies of our products and designs that enter the market subsequent to such leakages. If confidential technical
information in respect of our products or business becomes available to third parties or to the public, any competitive advantage we
may have over our competitors could be harmed. If a competitor is able to reproduce or otherwise capitalize on our technology, it
may be difficult, expensive or impossible for us to obtain necessary legal protection. Consequently, any leakage of confidential
technical information could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.
6260. Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, and risks of infringing on the intellectual property of
others, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have registered the Powerica label as a trademark under Class 4, 7, 9, 37,
35 and 40. Further, we have eight trademark applications in India which are pending and one which has been objected by the
trademark registry for which we have filed responses. Set forth below are the details of our pending applications and registered
trademarks.

Our success and ability to compete depend, in part, on our capacity to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We
rely on trademark laws, confidentiality or license agreements with employees, consultants, customers and other third parties, and
we generally limit access to and distribution of proprietary information to maintain our competitive position. While we have
accumulated significant technical knowledge about our products through our own experiences and associations, this knowledge is
a key independent asset that may not always be adequately protected by intellectual property rights, such as patent registrations, or
kept confidential in the long term.
Although we have registered certain trademarks in India, including our logo , and may pursue registration of additional
intellectual property in the future, failure to register appropriate intellectual property or inadequate protection of existing intellectual
property rights could diminish the value of our brand and proprietary property, materially impacting our business growth, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, any unauthorized use or impersonation of our trademarks or logos by
third parties, or negative publicity related to our brand(s), could harm our reputation and affect our ability to attract new customers
or retain existing ones. While we have not experienced unauthorized use of our logos or trademarks in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
enforcement of intellectual property rights may be a time-consuming and costly process, potentially diverting management’s
attention and draining company resources.
63At the same time, as we expand our business and adopt new technologies, we face the risk of infringing on third-party intellectual
property rights. Third parties may assert that our technologies or techniques violate their intellectual property rights, which could
expose us to significant financial liabilities or force us to alter our technologies, obtain additional licenses, or cease operations in
some areas and could divert our management’s attention away from the execution of our business plan. Under certain agreements
with customers, we may also be required to indemnify them if claims of intellectual property infringement are brought against them
for their use of our products.
Although we have not been subject to intellectual property claims or trademark disputes, nor have any claims been brought against
our customers for their use of our products in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, there is no assurance that such claims will not arise in
the future. Claims of infringement, regardless of their validity, could result in costly litigation, damage customer relationships, cause
delays in product shipments or operations, require additional royalty or licensing agreements or require us to cease certain activities.
Any of these outcomes could result in significant liabilities and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
61. The delay between making significant upfront investments in our wind power projects and receiving revenue could
materially and adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Under our PPAs, a scheduled commissioning period of 18 to 24 months is allowed for wind power projects. The table below
summarises key milestones for projects commissioned during the last three Fiscals:
Name of the PPA date Date of commissioning of the first Date of commissioning the Extended SCOD
project project capacity entire project under PPA
Khambhaliya October 17, June 2, 2022 June 18, 2022 September 5, 2022
Wind Farm 2019
SECI -–
VI/Gujarat
*The scheduled commissioning date for this project was extended from April 15, 2020 to September 5, 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in the Gujarat
Government’s land allotment policy, and delays in receiving development permission from GEDA.
For our Khambhaliya Wind Farm SECI – VI project in Gujarat, we applied to the Gujarat Energy Development Agency (“GEDA”)
for development permission on February 13, 2020. However, as a matter of policy, the Government of Gujarat suspended the
allotment of land and the issuance of developer permissions for inter-state transmission system connected projects during this period.
Consequently, we did not receive GEDA permission until July 13, 2021. We commenced construction only after this approval, with
the project being fully commissioned on June 18, 2022.
Delays in securing development permissions, changes in government policy, and unforeseen circumstances such as the COVID-19
pandemic may continue to affect our ability to meet project commissioning timelines. Such delays can result in cost overruns,
penalties, or loss of revenue, and may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our initial investments include legal and other third-party fees, costs associated with project analysis and feasibility studies,
payments for land rights, payments for interconnection and grid connectivity arrangements, government permits, or other payments,
which may be non-refundable. As such, projects may not be fully monetized for the estimated life of the project and length of the
PPAs, but we bear the costs of our initial investment upfront. Historically, we have relied on our own equity contribution to pay for
costs and expenses incurred during project development. Revenue from energy projects is usually recognised only after a project
becomes operational and we commence power supply to the offtaker.
There may be delays from the initial development to projects becoming shovel-ready due to the timing of auctions, permits and the
grid connectivity process. Between our initial investment in the development of permits for energy projects and their connection to
the transmission grid, there may be adverse developments, such as unfavourable, right of way issues, or monsoon weather.
Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain all of the permits as anticipated or permits that were obtained may expire or become
ineffective.
As a result, the timing gap between our upfront investments and actual revenue generation, and any additional delays due to
unforeseen circumstances, may place a strain on our resources and could materially and adversely affect our business, cash flows,
financial condition, and results of operations.
62. We are required to provide bank guarantees and performance guarantees under certain contracts which could be encashed
leading to a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. We have also
provided corporate guarantee to certain debt of our Subsidiaries, which could lead to a material adverse effect on our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations if invoked.
We are required to provide financial and performance bank guarantees to secure our financial and performance obligations under
certain contracts. These guarantees are typically required to be provided within a few days of the signing of the contract and remain
valid as per the contract. In some of the contracts, bank guarantees had to be provided in respect of our Generator Set Business. Any
failure to maintain these performance guarantees may subject us to penalties under our contracts, such as requiring us to perform
remediation work to meet the guarantees, pay liquidated damages or allowing the counterparty to terminate the contract.
64The amount of outstanding bank guarantees furnished by us under our contracts as of July 31, 2025 was ₹ 397.50 crores. These bank
guarantees may be invoked if we fail to fulfil our obligations in a timely manner or at all. In certain cases, we may also be required
to provide extension or additional guarantees in case performance requirements are not met on the date of commissioning of the
project for so long as such defect continues. We may not be able to continue to obtain new financial and performance bank guarantees
in sufficient quantities to match our business requirements. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral to secure the financial
bank guarantees, performance bank guarantees, our ability to enter into new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be limited.
Providing security to obtain financial and performance bank guarantees also increases our working capital requirements. Our ability
to obtain such guarantees depends upon our capitalization, working capital, available credit facilities, past performance, management
estimates and reputation and certain external factors. If we are not able to continue obtaining new bank guarantees and performance
bank guarantees in sufficient quantities to match our business requirements, it could have a material adverse effect on our future
revenues and business prospects.
In addition, we have provided corporate guarantees for certain term loans and working capital facilities availed by our Subsidiaries.
As of July 31, 2025, we have provided corporate guarantees aggregating to ₹ 121.89 crores in respect of term loans and working
capital facilities availed by certain of our Subsidiaries from various lenders as set out in the table below.
Name of Subsidiary Name of the lender Amount of Amount Period for which Instances of
guarantee provided outstanding as on the guarantee is encashment of
(in ₹ crores) July 31, 2025 valid guarantee

Systems FZE Bank availability of the
Loan facility
* Exchange rate as on July 31, 2025, is considered for conversion. Source: https://www.rbi.org.in/
** Since the total outstanding working capital loan of Powerica Power Systems (FZE) is INR 40.73 crores, the amount considered under the amount outstanding is
restricted to the guarantee amount provided.
In the event of default by our Subsidiaries in their repayment obligations, we may be required to fulfill our guarantee obligations,
which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any default by
our Subsidiaries could adversely affect their creditworthiness and ability to avail further financing, which may in turn affect their
operational and financial performance. This could indirectly impact our consolidated cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations. We cannot assure you that our Subsidiaries will be able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet their debt service
obligations or that we will not be required to fulfill our obligations under these corporate guarantees.
63. Certain of our purchased components for our generator business as well as our larger capacity DG sets and MSLG are
sourced from foreign countries, exposing us to additional risks.
We source a portion of our purchased components in respect of certain engines and alternators from overseas. Our international
sourcing exposes us to a number of potential risks in addition to the risks generally associated with third party sourcing. Such risks
include:
• inflation or changes in political and economic conditions;
• changes in import and export duties;
• domestic and foreign customs and tariffs;
• currency rate fluctuations;
• trade restrictions;
• logistical and communications challenges; and
• other restraints and burdensome taxes.
These factors may have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain our purchased components overseas. In particular, if the Indian
Rupee were to depreciate significantly against the currencies in which we purchase raw materials from foreign suppliers, our cost
of goods sold could increase and adversely affect our results of operations.
6564. Our contingent liabilities may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
The following table sets forth our contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2025:
Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts March 31, 2025
a) Sales Tax demand disputed, contested in appeal 0.01
Amount paid there against and shown as Advances Recoverable Nil
b) Service Tax demand disputed, contested in appeal 0.90

e) Corporate Guarantee given to bank 15.65
f) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts 1.09
g) Letter of Credit Outstanding not acknowledged as debts* 54.80
*The Group has disclosed the entire amount of contingent liabilities of subsidiaries in line with Ind AS 110 requirements. Non-controlling interests' share is not
separately disclosed as contingent liabilities are not recognized in the balance sheet.
Any or all of these contingent liabilities may become actual liabilities. For details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial
Information– Note 40” and “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” beginning on pages 342 and 406, respectively, of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. If these contingent liabilities materialize, our financial condition could be adversely affected.
65. Our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant influence over our Company after completion of
the Offer.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters and Promoter Group hold in aggregate 10,88,14,204 Equity
Shares, which currently constitutes 99.99% on a fully diluted basis of the issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital of our
Company. After the completion of the Offer, our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to control our Company and exercise
significant influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring shareholders’ approval, including the
composition of our Board, the adoption of amendments to our constituent documents, the approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions
or joint ventures or the sales of substantially all of our assets, and the policies for dividends, lending, investments and capital
expenditures through their shareholding after the Offer. We cannot assure you that our Promoters will act to resolve any conflicts
of interest in our favour and any such conflict may adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our
business.
66. Certain of our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior Management may have interests
other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and receipt of remuneration or benefits from our Company and may have
interests in entities, which are in businesses similar to ours and this may result in conflict of interest with us.
Certain of our Promoters, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel are interested in our Company, in addition to regular
remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses, rent from our Company for use of leased premises, to the extent of their
direct and indirect shareholding in our Company and to the extent of their shareholding and/or directorships in our Subsidiaries.
Furthermore, certain members of Senior Management may also be deemed to be interested in arrangements entered into by our
Company with entities in which they or their relatives hold equity, directorships or partnership or any beneficial interests. For further
information, see “Our Promoters and Promoter Group – Interests of Promoters”, “Our Management – Interest of Directors” and
“Our Management – Interests of Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management in our Company” on pages 304, 292 and 299,
respectively.
As such, we cannot assure you that our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and members of the Senior Management,
to the extent they are interest in our Company and its Subsidiaries other than in terms of remunerations and reimbursement of
expenses, will exercise their rights to the benefits and best interest of our Company.
Our Promoters holding Equity Shares may also take or block actions with respect to our business which may conflict with the best
interests of our Company or that of minority shareholders. For further details, see “Capital Structure” on page 92.
67. We have in the past entered into a number of related party transactions and may continue to enter into related party
transactions that may involve conflicts of interest.
In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into and will continue to enter into transactions with related parties. These
transactions include, amongst others, remuneration to Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior Management
and transactions with Subsidiaries in which certain Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior Management also have
significant influence. While all such transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that we might
have obtained more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. While we will conduct all
related party transactions post-listing of the Equity Shares subject to the Board’s or Shareholders’ approval, as applicable, and in
compliance with the applicable accounting standards, provisions of Companies Act, 2013, as amended, provisions of the SEBI
66Listing Regulations and other applicable law, such related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest. Our
Company will endeavour to duly address such conflicts of interest as and when they may arise, however, we cannot assure you that
such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may not involve potential conflict of interest which will not have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Furthermore, it is likely that we may enter into
related party transactions in the future. While no such instance has occurred in the past, related party transactions may potentially
involve conflicts of interest which may be detrimental to and have an adverse impact on our Company. In respect of loans or
advances that our Company and Subsidiaries provide to related parties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover all
or any part of such loans or advances which, if unrecoverable, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
For further details on our related party transactions, see “Summary of the Offer Document – Summary of Related Party Transactions”
and “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Notes forming part of the Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Note
52” on pages 20 and 360, respectively.
68. Industry information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from industry reports commissioned
by us, and paid for by us for such purpose.
We have incorporated information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus from two industry reports that were exclusively
commissioned by our Company: (i) the report titled “Industry Report on Indian Renewable Energy Report” dated August 2025,
prepared by CRISIL, appointed on March 25, 2025; and (ii) the report titled “Industry Report on Standby Power and DG Market”
August, 2025, prepared by Frost & Sullivan (“F&S”), appointed on April 2, 2025. These reports were commissioned for an agreed
fee and provide insights into industry and market data relating to us and our competitors.
The information included in these reports is subject to various limitations. It is based on certain assumptions that are subjective in
nature and may not adhere to any standard methodology. CRISIL and F&S are independent agencies, and neither the Company, its
Directors, Promoters, Subsidiaries, Selling Shareholders, nor the BRLMs to the Offer, are considered related parties to these
agencies under the definitions prescribed by the Companies Act, 2013, and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Given the scope and extent of the CRISIL and F&S reports, disclosures in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are limited to specific
excerpts. The reports have not been reproduced in their entirety. However, no material data, information, or parts relevant to the
proposed issue have been omitted or altered. Investors are encouraged to review the industry-related disclosures in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus with this context in mind.
It should be noted that industry sources and publications, including those by CRISIL and F&S, are prepared using information as of
specific dates and may no longer reflect current conditions or trends. Additionally, these sources often rely on projections, forecasts,
estimates, and assumptions that may ultimately prove inaccurate. Investors should therefore not place undue reliance on or base
their entire investment decision solely on this information.
For further details on the treatment of industry and market data, see “Certain Conventions, Presentation of Financial, Industry and
Market Data – Industry and Market Data” on page 27.
69. Any failure to comply with the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, and related regulations could
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.
Our Company is subject to various regulatory compliances under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (“FEMA”) and the
rules and regulations framed thereunder, including those relating to foreign direct investment, overseas direct investment, reporting
requirements, and other corporate actions involving cross-border transactions. Compliance with these requirements involves
complex documentation, timely filings with the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”), and adherence to evolving regulatory
interpretations.
Any inadvertent delay, omission, or error in complying with FEMA requirements, such as reporting of foreign investments, issuance
or conversion of securities to non-residents, or downstream investments, could result in regulatory scrutiny, compounding
proceedings, or penalties, including monetary fines or restrictions on future capital inflows. Additionally, non-compliance may also
delay or hinder our ability to undertake future fund-raising or expansion activities involving foreign investment or overseas
operations.
While we strive to ensure full compliance with all applicable FEMA provisions and maintain adequate internal processes, there can
be no assurance that we will not face regulatory or operational risks in this regard in the future.
70. We are exposed to, and may be adversely affected by, potential security breaches or other disruptions to our information
technology systems and data security.
We rely on the capacity, reliability and security of our information technology systems and data security infrastructure in connection
with various aspects of our business activities. We also rely on our ability to expand and continually update these systems and
infrastructure in response to the changing needs of our business. As we implement new systems, they may not perform as expected.
We also face the challenge of supporting our older systems and implementing necessary upgrades. In addition, some of these systems
67are provided by third party service providers, such as the supervisory control and data acquisition software provided to us by OEMs,
and are not under our direct control.
If we experience a problem with an important information technology system, including during system upgrades or new system
implementations, the resulting disruptions could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation.
The information handled by our information technology systems is vulnerable to security threats. Our operations routinely involve
receiving, storing, processing and transmitting sensitive information pertaining to our business, customers, dealers, suppliers,
employees and other sensitive matters. Information technology security threats, such as security breaches, computer malware and
other “cyber attacks,” which are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, could result in unauthorized disclosures of
information and create financial liability, subject us to legal or regulatory sanctions, or damage our reputation with customers,
dealers, suppliers and other stakeholders. We continuously seek to maintain a robust program of information security and controls,
but the impact of a material information technology event could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition, competitive position and reputation.
71. An inability to provide adequate customer support and ancillary services may adversely affect our relationship with our
existing and prospective customers, and in turn our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our customers depend on our customer support and ancillary services to resolve issues in relation to the products and services we
provide in a timely manner. We may be unable to respond to / accommodate short-term increases in demand for our products or
associated customer support in a timely manner. We may also be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of such products
and services to compete with products and support services provided by our competitors. Increased requests in connection with our
products and services, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition. Our sales are dependent on our reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any
failure to maintain adequate and timely customer support and ancillary services, or a market perception that we are unable to do so,
could result in loss of business and adversely affect our business, prospects and financial performance.
72. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective internal controls and compliance systems, our business and reputation
could be adversely affected.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the size and complexity of our
operations which cover all facets of our operations such as monitoring and managing risks relating to our supply chain. Our internal
audit functions evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations are in line
with our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and update our internal processes and
systems and there have been no material instances of failure to maintain effective internal controls and compliance systems in Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023. However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal
processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances.
Ineffectiveness in internal controls could lead to inaccurate financial reporting, harm our reputation, and undermine our ability to
attract and retain customers which may have an adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal
controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve and
develop, our internal controls must as well and be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human
diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses in
judgment or failures that result from human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor
confidence and a decline in the price of our equity shares.
Additionally, our business operations must adhere to anti-corruption laws and regulations. Such laws generally forbid us, our
employees and our agents from engaging in bribery or making illicit payments to government officials or others to secure or maintain
business or to achieve an unfair business advantage. We engage in associations and dealings with third parties whose conduct could
expose us to legal liability under these or other local anti-corruption statutes. Although our code of conduct mandates that our
employees and agents abide by all relevant laws, and we are actively improving our policies and procedures to ensure adherence to
anti-corruption laws and regulations, there is still a risk that these efforts may not prevent violations, particularly in high-risk markets
such as India’s solar energy sector. Non-compliance with anti-corruption laws can lead to criminal and civil penalties, forfeiture of
profits and other sanctions and legal expenses, all of which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, any investigations by authorities into any potential violations of anti-corruption laws could
also have an adverse impact on our business and reputation.
As we continue to grow, there can be no assurance that there will be no instances of inadvertent non-compliances with statutory
requirements, which may subject us to regulatory action, including monetary penalties, which may adversely affect our business
and reputation.
6873. Our Company has prepared financial statements under Indian Accounting Standards. Certain differences exist between
Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting guidance.
Our financial statements, including the financial statements provided in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, have been prepared in
accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) and the Companies Act, 2013 and restated in accordance with the SEBI
ICDR Regulations. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of IFRS, U.S. GAAP or any other system of accounting guidance
on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements
to those of IFRS, U.S. GAAP or any other accounting guidance. IFRS and U.S. GAAP differ in certain respects from Ind AS.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Ind AS financial statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide
meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Ind AS. Any reliance by persons not familiar
with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be
limited. In addition, some of our competitors may not present their financial statements in accordance with Ind AS and their financial
statements may not be directly comparable to ours, and therefore reliance should accordingly be limited.
74. We have included certain Non-GAAP Measures, industry metrics and key performance indicators related to our operations
and financial performance in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are subject to inherent measurement challenges.
These Non-GAAP Measures, industry metrics and key performance indicators may not be comparable with financial, or
industry-related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies. Such
supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool for investors and
there can be no assurance that there will not be any issues or such tools will be accurate going forward.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial performance
have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial and operational
measures, and such other industry-related statistical and operational information relating to our operations and financial performance
as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and because such measures are
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of businesses similar to ours,
many of which provide such non-GAAP financial and operational measures, and other industry-related statistical and operational
information. These non-GAAP financial and operational measures, and such other industry-related statistical and operational
information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology
that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial and operational measures, and industry-
related statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies pursuing similar
business. See “Definitions and Abbreviations”, “Certain Conventions, Presentation of Financial, Industry and Market Data”, “Basis
for Offer Price”, “Our Business”, “Restated Consolidated Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 1, 26, 124, 229, 307, and 384, respectively.
Furthermore, in evaluating our business, we consider and use certain key performance indicators that are presented herein as
supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present these key performance indicators because they
are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. These key performance indicators have limitations as analytical
tools and may differ from, and may not be comparable to, estimates or similar metrics or information published by third parties and
other peer companies due to differences in sources, methodologies, or the assumptions on which we rely, and hence their
comparability may be limited. As a result, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to our
financial statements or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operations. Furthermore, as
the industry in which we operate continues to evolve, the measures by which we evaluate our business may change over time. In
addition, we calculate measures using internal tools, which are not independently verified by a third party. If the internal tools we
use to track these measures under-count or over-count performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data and/or
reports we generate may not be accurate. Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility as
an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for an
analysis of the Restated Consolidated Financial Information of our Company in disclosed in “Our Business”, “Restated Consolidated
Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning
on pages 229, 307 and 384, respectively.
While we have not experienced any issues on account of such tools in the past, there can be no assurance that there will not be any
issues or such tools will be accurate going forward. Limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data or with respect to the
data that we measure may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our long-term strategies. If
our key performance indicators are not accurate representations of our business, or if investors do not perceive these metrics to be
accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, our reputation may be materially and adversely
affected, the market price of our shares could decline, we may be subject to shareholder litigation, and our business, results of
operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
75. Our funding requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds of the Offer are based on management estimates and have
not been independently appraised. Further, any variation in the utilization of our Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior Shareholders’ approval.
We intend to use the net proceeds of the Offer for prepayment, repayment and/ or pre-payment obligations to our lenders towards
borrowings, in part or full, and general corporate purposes, as described in “Objects of the Offer” on page 115. The objects of the
Offer and our funding requirement are based on management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or financial
69institution. While a monitoring agency will be appointed for monitoring the utilization of the Gross Proceeds (including in relation
to the utilization towards the general corporate purposes), the proposed utilization of the Gross Proceeds is based on current business
plan, internal management estimates, prevailing market conditions and other commercial and technical factors, and quotations
obtained from certain vendors, which are subject to change in future.
Based on the competitive nature of our industry, we may have to revise our business plan and/or management estimates from time
to time and consequently our funding requirements may also change. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of our
management regarding the application of the Net Proceeds. If we are unable to deploy the Net Proceeds in a timely or an efficient
manner, it may affect our business and results of operations. Any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds shall be on account
of a variety of factors such as our financial condition, business and strategy and external factors such as market conditions and
competitive environment, which may not be within the control of our management, and may be subject to other approvals, which
includes, amongst others obtaining prior approval of the Shareholders of our Company.
Risks and uncertainties, such as economic trends and business requirements, competitive landscape, as well as general factors
affecting our results of operations, financial condition and access to capital and including those set forth in this section, may limit
or delay our efforts to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth in our business. In light of these factors, we may not be
able to undertake variation of objects of the Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the terms of any
contract, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. This may restrict our Company’s ability to respond to any change
in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilized portion of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of
contract, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
76. Restrictions on solar equipment imports, and other factors affecting the price or availability of solar equipment, may
increase our implementation costs for our proposed solar projects as part of our Pipeline Projects.
We depend on certain solar equipment for the operations of our proposed wind-solar hybrid (“WSH”) projects. As of the date of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we are in the process of developing our first WSH project, Project Beta / Gujarat, with an installed
wind power capacity of 100.0 MW and an installed solar power capacity of 30.0 MW. While we have not directly imported any
equipment, a substantial portion of our equipment, mainly solar module panels and some parts of wind turbines, may be imported
from suppliers in China and certain other countries.
Any restrictions or additional duties imposed by the governments of India or China, or of any other exporting countries could disrupt
our supply, adversely affecting our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the Ministry of
New & Renewable Energy (“MNRE”) has announced basic custom duty (“BCD”) on imported solar cells and modules starting
April 1, 2022 of 25% for solar cells and 40% for solar modules. There is no assurance that other such duties will not be levied in
the future. Such duties could result in an increase in our input costs for our solar business, especially if the costs cannot be passed
on to our offtakers, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
Furthermore, according to the CRISIL Report, the United States investigated claims of involvement of forced labour in the
production of China’s Xinjiang province. It accounts for nearly 30-40% of global polysilicon production. It resulted in the United
States restricting imports from China’s Xinjiang province over forced labour concerns and also forming strict traceability norms.
(Source: CRISIL Report) If such claims are true and India imposes restrictions on the sourcing of solar equipment from China, the
availability of such equipment may be adversely affected and their prices may rise. These and other factors affecting the price or
availability of solar equipment or the materials and components used therein could increase our business costs and adversely affect
our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
77. The proceeds from the Offer for Sale will be paid to the Promoter Selling Shareholders and we will not receive any proceeds
from the Offer for Sale.
This Offer is being undertaken as a Fresh Issue of Equity Shares as well as an Offer for Sale of Equity Shares by the Promoter
Selling Shareholders. The Promoter Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to the Net Proceeds from the Offer for Sale, which
comprise the proceeds from the Offer for Sale net of Offer expenses shared by the Promoter Selling Shareholders and applicable
taxes thereon and our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. Except Bharat Oberoi, Renu Naresh Oberoi
and Jai Ram Oberoi, individual Promoters and Directors of our Company, none of our Directors or Key Managerial Personnel and
Senior Managerial Personnel will receive, in whole or in part, any proceeds from this Offer.
78. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters may be less than the Offer Price.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters hold 99.99% of the issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share
capital of our Company. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters, may be less than the Offer Price. The

External Risk Factors
Risks relating to India
79. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our products and services at a proportional
rate in order to pass costs on to our customers and our profits might decline.
Inflation rates could be volatile, and we may face high inflation in the future as India had witnessed in the past. Increased inflation
can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs to our business, including increased costs of transportation, salaries,
and other expenses relevant to our business. High inflation may also drive up interest rates, potentially slowing economic growth
and adversely affecting credit growth. This, in turn, could reduce business growth opportunities and impact our profitability.
Fluctuating inflation rates could make it difficult for us to estimate or control costs accurately. Inflation-driven increases in operating
expenses may not be entirely or partially passed on to our customers. In particular, under the terms of our O&M contracts, we may
not have the ability to revise contract terms to account for rising costs. Similarly, for our Wind Power Business, for customers with
whom we have entered into fixed tariff PPAs, we may not be able to increase tariffs to offset higher operating expenses or other
inflationary pressures. This inability to adjust pricing could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and business
performance.
Although the Reserve Bank of India has introduced measures in the past to combat high inflation, the long-term effectiveness of
such measures is uncertain. There is no assurance that inflation rates in India will remain stable or that they will not rise in the future.
80. Supply and demand in the energy market in India, including the conventional energy market, is volatile and such volatility
could have an adverse impact on electricity prices and have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations.
Growth of electricity demand in India is greatly influenced by macroeconomic conditions, by coverage of electricity grids, by
absolute and relative energy prices, and by developments in energy conservation and demand-side management.
Correspondingly, from a supply perspective, there are uncertainties associated with the timing of decommissioning of older thermal
power projects in part driven by environmental regulations and with the scale, pace and structure of replacement capacity, again
reflecting a complex interaction of economic and political pressures and environmental preferences. This could result in increased
supply of electricity. This volatility and uncertainty in the energy market in India, including the conventional energy market, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
81. Recent global economic conditions have been challenging and continue to affect the Indian market, which may adversely
affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations and prospects.
Recent global economic challenges have continued to affect the Indian market, which may adversely impact our business, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. The Indian economy and its securities markets are closely tied to global
economic developments and are influenced by volatility in international markets. Investor reactions to adverse economic or financial
developments in one country can create ripple effects that disrupt securities markets and economic activity in other nations, including
India.
Negative developments in other emerging markets—such as rising fiscal or trade deficits, currency devaluations, or defaults on
national debt—have the potential to erode investor confidence and increase volatility in Indian securities markets, indirectly
affecting the economy. Additionally, global financial instability, including fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, could
have a cascading negative impact on the Indian economy. Such instability may, in turn, adversely affect our operations, business
performance, and the price of our equity shares.
71Ongoing global uncertainties, or even the perception of potential risks in global markets, could disrupt market liquidity and pose
risks to the stability of financial systems. This may depress global economic activity, restrict access to capital, and challenge the
ability of key market participants to operate effectively. These factors could harm our financial condition, results of operations, and
the price of our equity shares.
Additionally, geopolitical tensions, such as the imposition of tariffs by the United States, continue to heighten trade uncertainties,
particularly between major economies like the United States and China. While the full impact of these trade tensions remains
uncertain, they could disrupt commodity prices, drive inflation, and destabilise the domestic economies of both developed and
emerging markets, including India. Such evolving dynamics could indirectly affect our financial condition, results of operations,
and overall business prospects.
82. Political, economic or other factors including but not limited to any changes in laws, rules and regulations and legal
uncertainties that are beyond our control may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
External risks may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, should any of
them materialize. For instance, (i) an increase in interest rates may adversely impact our access to capital and increase our borrowing
costs; (ii) a sustained period of high inflation may increase our employee costs and decrease demand for our products and services,
which may have an adverse effect on our profitability and competitive advantage; (iii) a downgrade of India’s sovereign rating by
international credit rating agencies may adversely impact our access to capital and increase our borrowing costs; (iv) a change in
tariff and non-tariff barriers in countries where we import raw materials and export our products may affect our financial condition;
(v) a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves may affect liquidity and interest rates in the Indian economy as well as the valuation
of the Indian Rupee; (vi) political instability, resulting from a change in government or in economic and Fiscal policies, may
adversely affect economic conditions in India; (vii) the occurrence of natural or man-made disaster or epidemic or pandemic such
as Covid-19 may adversely affect economic conditions in India; and (viii) civil unrest, acts of violence, terrorist attacks, regional
conflicts or situations of war such as the Russia Ukraine war or the India-Pakistan unrest may adversely affect the financial markets,
which may impact our business and financial condition. Furthermore, in June 2025, there have been escalations in the Israel-Iran
tensions, and the conflict is currently on-going as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Fires, natural disasters and/ or severe weather can result in damage to our property, generally reduce our productivity, require us to
evacuate personnel and suspend operations, or lead to a sharp decline in passenger volumes and changes in customer preferences
(such as driving instead of flying or taking trains). Any terrorist attacks or civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and
political events in India could also have a negative effect on us. Such incidents could create a greater perception that investment in
companies with operations in India involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the price
of the Equity Shares. Lastly, changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of corporate
and tax laws, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
83. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating could have a negative impact on our business and the price of the equity shares.
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets are affected by the credit ratings of India. India’s sovereign debt
rating could be downgraded due to various factors, including changes in tax or fiscal policy or a decline in India’s foreign exchange
reserves, which are outside our control.
Name of Agency Rating Outlook Date
Fitch BBB- Stable August 29, 2024
Moody’s Baa3 Stable August 18, 2023
DBRS BBB Stable May 8, 2025
S&P BBB- Positive May 29, 2024
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by domestic or international rating agencies may
adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional
external financing is available. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may occur for reasons beyond our control, such as upon a
change of government fiscal policy. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future financial performance, ability to
obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
84. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the Competition Act could
adversely affect our business and activities.
The Competition Act prohibits any anti-competition agreement or arrangement, understanding or action in concert between
enterprises, whether formal or informal, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India.
Any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or
controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or provision of services, shares the market or source of
production or provision of services in any manner by way of allocation of geographical area, type of goods or services or number
of consumers in the relevant market or in any other similar way or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding
is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position
by any enterprise. The combination regulation (merger control) provisions under the Competition Act require acquisitions of shares,
voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover based thresholds to be
mandatorily notified to, and pre-approved by, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”). Any breach of the provisions of
72Competition Act, may attract substantial monetary penalties. With effect from April 11, 2023, the Government of India has enacted
the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”). Pursuant to the Competition Amendment Act, several
amendments have been made to the Competition Act, including introduction of deal value thresholds for assessing whether a merger
or acquisition qualifies as a “combination”, expedited merger review timelines, codification of the lowest standard of “control” and
enhanced penalties for providing false information or a failure to provide material information. Additionally, the Competition
Commission of India (Lesser Penalty) Regulations, 2024 were also notified on February 20, 2024. Subsequently, the Competition
Commission of India, on March 6, 2024, notified the: (i) CCI (Commitment) Regulations, 2024; (ii) CCI (Settlement) Regulations,
2024; and (iii) CCI (Determination of Turnover or Income) Regulations, 2024. With effect from September 19, 2024, the Ministry
of Corporate Affairs has issued Notification No. S.O. 4031(E) announcing that clause (f) of section 19 of the Competition
Amendment Act has come into effect, which amends Section 26 of the Competition Act by addition of sub-section (9) that allows
CCI to either close an investigation or pass an order under Section 27 upon completing its inquiry, provided that, prior to issuance
of the final order, the CCI issues a show cause notice to the parties concerned detailing the allegations against such parties. The
Competition Act aims to, among other things, prohibit all agreements and transactions, which may have an appreciable adverse
effect in India. Consequently, all agreements entered into by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the
CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside of India if
such agreement, conduct or combination has an appreciable adverse effect in India. We are not currently party to any outstanding
proceedings, nor have we ever received any notice in relation to non-compliance with the Competition Act. The applicability or
interpretation of the Competition Act to any merger, amalgamation or acquisition proposed by us, or any enforcement proceedings
initiated by the CCI in future, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI may affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to the Equity Shares
85. Subsequent to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional
Surveillance Measures and Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity
and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have been introducing various pre-emptive surveillance measures with respect to the shares of listed
companies in India (the “Listed Securities”) in order to enhance market integrity, safeguard the interests of investors and potential
market abuses. In addition to various surveillance measures already implemented, and in order to further safeguard the interest of
investors, the SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced additional surveillance measures (“ASM”) and graded surveillance
measures (“GSM”).
ASM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities with surveillance concerns based on certain objective parameters
such as price-to-earnings ratio, percentage of delivery, client concentration, variation in volume of shares and volatility of shares,
among other things. GSM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities where their price quoted on the Stock Exchanges
is not commensurate with, among other things, the financial performance and financial condition measures such as earnings, book
value, fixed assets, net worth, other measures such as price-to-earnings multiple and market capitalization.
For further details in relation to the ASM and GSM Surveillance Measures, including criteria for shortlisting and review of Listed
Securities, exemptions from shortlisting and frequently asked questions (FAQs), among other details, refer to the websites of the
NSE and the BSE.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors which may
result in high volatility in price, and low trading volumes as a percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity Shares. The
occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and
the Stock Exchanges for placing our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance measures, which
could result in additional restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges such as
limiting trading frequency or freezing of price on the upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the
surveillance dashboards of the Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse
effect on the market price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the reputation and conditions of our Company.
86. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price of the Equity Shares
may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Further, the current market price of some
securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the Book Running Lead Managers is below their respective
issue prices.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our Company in
consultation with the BRLMs. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in consultation
with the BRLMs through the Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under
“Basis for Offer Price” on page 124 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer.
The market price of the Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline below the Offer
Price. We cannot assure you that the investor will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price resulting in a loss
of all or part of the investment. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band would be determined shall be
disclosed in the advertisement to be issued for publication of the Price Band. For further details, see “Basis for Offer Price” on page
124.
73Further, there can be no assurance that our key performance indicators shall become higher than our listed comparable industry
peers in the future. An inability to improve, maintain or compete, or any reduction in such key performance indicators in comparison
with the listed comparable industry peers may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares. There can be no assurance
that our methodologies are correct or will not change and accordingly, our position in the market may differ from that presented in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
The disposal of Equity Shares by our Promoters or any of our Company’s other principal shareholders or the perception that such
issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in
India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that our Promoters and other major
shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Further, we cannot assure you that the disposal
of the Equity Shares in the future, if any, by our Promoters or other major shareholders will not be at a price higher than the Offer
Price.
In addition to the above, the current market price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public offerings managed
by the BRLMs is below their respective issue price. For further details, see “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures – Price
information of past issues handled by the BRLMs” on page 425. The factors that could affect the market price of the Equity Shares
include, among others, broad market trends, financial performance, results of our Company post-listing, and other factors beyond
our control. We cannot assure you that an active market will develop, or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or
provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.
87. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate
procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would
apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law, including in relation to class actions, may not be
as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face more
challenges in asserting their rights as a shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.
88. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us, our Directors, and executive officers in India
except by way of a law suit in India.
We are incorporated under the laws of India and all of our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior Management
reside in India. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, majority of our assets are located in India. As a result, it may
be difficult for investors to effect service of process upon us or such persons in India or to enforce judgements obtained against us
or such parties outside India.
India exercises reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with a limited number of
jurisdictions, which includes, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong. A judgment from certain
specified courts located in a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (the
“CPC”).
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. Recognition and
enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Sections 13, 14 and 44A of the CPC on a statutory basis. Section 44A of
the CPC provides that where a certified copy of a decree of any superior court, within the meaning of that section, obtained in any
country or territory outside India which the government has by notification declared to be in a reciprocating territory, may be
enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by a district court in India. However, Section
44A of the CPC is applicable only to monetary decrees and does not apply to decrees for amounts payable in respect of taxes, other
charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalties and does not apply to arbitration awards (even if such awards are
enforceable as a decree or judgment).
A judgment of a court of a country which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced in India only by a suit upon the judgment
under Section 13 of the CPC, and not by proceedings in execution. Section 13 of the CPC provides that foreign judgments shall be
conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated upon except: (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of
competent jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it appears on the face of the
proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or refusal to recognize the law of India in cases
to which such law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice;
(v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud; and/ or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any
law then in force in India. The suit must be brought in India within three years from the date of judgment in the same manner as any
other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India.
The United States has not been declared by the GoI to be a reciprocating territory for the purposes of Section 44A of the CPC.
Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States on civil liability,
whether or not predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States, would not be enforceable in India. However,
the party in whose favour such final judgment is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India based on a final
judgment that has been obtained in the United States. The suit must be brought in India within three years from the date of the
judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India.
74Furthermore, there may be considerable delays in the disposal of suits by Indian courts. It is unlikely that a court in India would
award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action were brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian
court would enforce a foreign judgment if that court were of the view that the amount of damages awarded was excessive or
inconsistent with public policy or Indian law. It is uncertain as to whether an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments that
would contravene or violate Indian law. However, a party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain
approval from the RBI under the FEMA to execute such a judgment or to repatriate any amount recovered pursuant to the execution
of such foreign judgment.
89. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares held as investments
in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any capital gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a Stock Exchange
held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to long-term capital gains in India at the
specified rates depending on certain factors, such as whether the sale is undertaken on or off the Stock Exchanges, the quantum of
gains and any available treaty relief. Accordingly, you may be subject to payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition
to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”), on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than 12 months immediately
preceding the date of transfer. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are
sold. Furthermore, any capital gains realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately
preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India.
In terms of the Finance Act, 2024, with effect from July 23, 2024, taxes payable by an assessee on the capital gains arising from
transfer of long-term capital assets (introduced as Section 112A of the Income-Tax Act, 1961) shall be calculated on such long-term
capital gains at the rate of 12.50%, where the long-term capital gains exceed ₹125,000, subject to certain exceptions in case of
resident individuals and Hindu Undivided Families. The stamp duty for transfer of certain securities, other than debentures, on a
delivery basis is currently specified at 0.015% and on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount.
Under the Finance Act 2020, any dividends paid by an Indian company will be subject to tax in the hands of the shareholders at
applicable rates. Such taxes will be withheld by the Indian company paying dividends. The Company may or may not grant the
benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source pursuant to any
corporate action including dividends. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential
tax consequences of owning Equity Shares.
Further, the Government of India announced the union budget for Fiscal 2026 following which the Finance Act, 2025 (“Finance
Act”) received the President of India’s assent on March 29, 2025 and became effective on April 1, 2025. We cannot predict whether
any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and
regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed
to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.
90. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on the value
of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of our Equity
Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign currency for repatriation, if required.
Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time taken for such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign
investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of
Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity
Shares, may reduce the proceeds received by Shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S.
dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an
adverse effect on the returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results. Any of these factors may result in large and
sudden changes in the volume and trading price of the Equity Shares.
91. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares of our Company will be listed on the Stock Exchanges in a timely manner or
at all.
In accordance with applicable Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted
until after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Offer and until the Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this
Offer. In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued of SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the Stock
Exchanges within such time as mandated under UPI Circulars, subject to any change in the prescribed timeline in this regard.
However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or
delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
7592. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and, after the Offer, the Equity Shares may experience price and volume
fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop. Further, the price of the Equity Shares
may be volatile or decline, and you may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market for our Equity Shares may
not develop. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, that there will
be liquidity in such market for our Equity Shares. Investors might not be able to rapidly sell the Equity Shares at the quoted price if
there is no active trading in the Equity Shares. The Offer Price of our Equity Shares has been determined through a book-building
process and may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares at the time of commencement of trading of our Equity
Shares or at any time thereafter.
The market price of our Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:
• quarterly variations in our results of operations;
• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations of principles;
• results of operations that vary from the expectations of research analysts and investors;
• results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;
• changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by research analysts and investors;
• conditions in financial markets, including those outside India;
• a change in research analysts’ recommendations;
• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint operations or capital
commitments;
• announcements by third parties or government entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
• new laws and government regulations or changes in laws and government regulations applicable to our sector;
• developments relating to our peer companies in the hospitality industry;
• additions or departures of Key Managerial Personnel; and
• public reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports.
Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares. Consequently, the price
of our Equity Shares may be volatile or decline after the Offer, and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the
Offer Price, or at all, and may as a result lose all or a part of your investment.
93. The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources.
The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources. We are not a listed company and have not, historically, been
subjected to the increased scrutiny of our affairs by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a
listed company. As a listed company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we
did not incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations which will require us to file audited annual
and unaudited quarterly reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we experience any delays, we may fail to
satisfy our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily determine and accordingly report any changes in our results
of operations as promptly as other listed companies. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. In
addition, we may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate experience and technical accounting knowledge,
but we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely and efficient manner.
94. Investors will not be able to sell immediately, on an Indian stock exchange, any of the Equity Shares they purchase in the
Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions must be completed
before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence. Investors’ book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts
with depository participants in India, are expected to be credited within one working day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment
is approved by the Stock Exchanges. The Allotment of Equity Shares in the Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the
applicant’s demat account with a depository participant is expected to be completed within the period as may be prescribed under
applicable law. There could be a failure or delay in listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in
obtaining the approval or otherwise commence trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity
Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity
Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could also be required to pay interest at the applicable
rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within the prescribed time
periods.
7695. Any future issuance of Equity Shares or convertible securities or other equity-linked instruments by us may dilute your
shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by the Promoter may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth, whether organic or inorganic, through future equity offerings. Any future equity
issuances by us, including a primary offering, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares, including through exercise
of employee stock options, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us
or disposal of our Equity Shares by any of our principal shareholders or any other change in our shareholding structure to comply
with minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India, or any public perception regarding such issuance
or sales, may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including
difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we
will not issue further Equity Shares or that our existing shareholders will not dispose of further Equity Shares after the completion
of the Offer (subject to compliance with the lock-in provisions under the SEBI ICDR Regulations) or pledge or encumber their
Equity Shares. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Equity Shares and adversely
affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the Offer Price. We may also issue
convertible debt securities to finance our future growth or fund our business activities. In addition, any perception by investors that
such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.
96. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign investors,
which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and residents are freely
permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines and
reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with
such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a prior regulatory
approval will be required. Furthermore, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the
Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed
procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries / departments are responsible for granting approval
for foreign investment. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign
currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income
tax authorities.
In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has been incorporated
as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Rules, investments where the beneficial owner of the Equity Shares is situated in or is a
citizen of a country which shares a land border with India, can only be made through the Government approval route, as prescribed
in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. Furthermore, in the event of transfer of ownership of
any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership
falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of
the Government of India. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be
obtained with or without any particular terms or conditions or at all.
For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page 461.
97. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity
Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid, and Retail Individual Investors are not permitted to withdraw
their Bids after the Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are required to block the Bid amount on submission
of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any
stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/Offer Period and/or withdraw their Bids
until the Bid/Offer Closing date, but not thereafter. While we are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and
commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including
Allotment, within three Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI,
events affecting the investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national
monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations
may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if
such events occur, and such events may limit investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the
trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing. Therefore, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors will not be able to withdraw
or lower their bids following adverse developments in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic
conditions, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations or otherwise between the dates of submission of
their Bids and Allotment.
98. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby may
suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity shares
pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages
before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by adoption of a special resolution by
77holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction the investors are
located in, does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering document or registration statement
with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless we make
such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the
securities for the investor’s benefit. The value the custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs
cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise pre-emption rights granted in respect of the
Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in us would be reduced.
99. A third-party could be prevented from acquiring control of us post this Offer, because of anti-takeover provisions under
Indian law.
As a listed Indian entity, there are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control
of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires
or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although
these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors / shareholders are protected, these provisions may also
discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company subsequent to completion of the Offer. Consequently, even
if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would
otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders, such a takeover may not be attempted or consummated because of SEBI Takeover
Regulations.

118In 2008, we strategically diversified into the Wind Power Business, commissioning our first wind power project of 4.80 MW
at Samana, Jamnagar in 2008 under a 20-year PPA executed with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (“GUVNL”) and have
since, steadily expanded our presence in Gujarat. As on March 31, 2025, we own and operate 11 wind power projects in Gujarat,
with a total installed capacity of 279.55 MW (“Operational Wind Power Projects”). In addition to our Operational Wind
Power Projects, we are constructing two wind power projects of 104 MW in Gujarat that will take our IPP portfolio to a total
installed capacity of 383.55 MW. Our Operational Wind Power Project portfolio of 11 projects is supported by long-term, fixed-
tariff PPAs with GUVNL and SECI, generally with a term of 25 years. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our
EPC business for BoP, including land-related services, comprises two wind power projects currently under construction for
other IPPs in India, with a total definitive contract capacity of 435.60 MW. For setting up these projects, our Company obtains
equipment from turbine suppliers, BOP equipment vendors and other suppliers. For further details please see “Our Business”
on page 229.
For such wind power projects, to secure purchases from its project suppliers, our Company has availed letter of credit with
extended credit terms under the term loan facility sanctioned to our Company. The Company bears the discounting charges for
the extended credit period of bills discounted by the suppliers under such letters of credit. The Company takes disbursement of
term loan from the lender banks equivalent to the outstanding letters of credit bill amount for payment of the bills on or before
maturity date. Thereafter, the Company bears the interest on term loan disbursed.
The Company has commissioned wind power project in Rajkot in October 2020. The project was funded through term loan
facility from HDFC Bank sanctioned vide letters dated January 29, 2022, and March 15, 2023. As on July 31, 2025, the
aggregate outstanding term loan for the said projects stood at ₹ 115.21 crores. Further, the Company commissioned wind power
project in Khambhaliya, Gujarat in August 2022. The project was funded through term loan from Axis Bank sanctioned vide
letters dated December 22, 2020, and June 8, 2021. As on July 31, 2025, the aggregate outstanding term loan from Axis Bank
for the said projects stood at ₹ 282.53 crores. As of March 31, 2025, we also have two wind power projects with a generation
capacity of 104.00 MW which are currently under construction. We won bids for these two projects titled Orchid - I SECI XVI/
Gujarat and Orchid - I SECI XVII/ Gujarat for wind power supply capacity of 50 MW each, under the tariff based competitive
auction conducted by the SECI. Subsequently, a letter of award was issued in our favour, and we executed power purchase
agreements with SECI for in June 2024 and February 2025, respectively. Post execution of the PPAs, Axis Bank Limited has
sanctioned Term Loan of ₹ 520.00 crores towards funding of capital expenditure of these projects. As on July 31, 2025, our
Company has an outstanding term loan of ₹ 290.06 crores from Axis Bank Limited under these sanctioned facilities.
We believe that such repayment or prepayment will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness and debt servicing costs and
assist us in maintaining a favourable debt to equity ratio. In addition, we believe that this would improve our ability to raise
further resources in the future to fund potential business development and growth opportunities.
Owing to nature of our business, we may be required to renew or obtain fresh sanction letters, avail additional facilities from
existing or new lenders, seek revision in sanctioned limits, make further drawdowns or repay or prepay certain instalments of
our borrowings after the filing of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Accordingly, our Company may utilise the Net Proceeds
towards funding prepayment, repayment and/ or payment obligations towards borrowings in part or full, other than those
identified in the table above, as may be crystallised after filing of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The revised list of the
borrowings as updated for the list of facilities towards which the Net Proceeds shall be utilized as well as the sanctioned and
outstanding amounts thereunder, shall be approved by our Board and be suitably included in the Red Herring Prospectus and
accordingly the above table shall be suitably revised.
The selection of facilities, towards which the Net Proceeds shall be utilized, as indicated above, shall be based on various factors
including, in respect of the borrowings, the (i) cost of the borrowings to our Company, including applicable interest rates, (ii)
any conditions attached to the borrowings restricting our ability to prepay the borrowings and time taken to fulfil such
requirements, (iii) receipt of consents for prepayment or waiver from any conditions attached to such prepayment from our
respective lenders, (iv) terms and conditions of such consents and waivers, (v) levy of any prepayment penalties and the quantum
thereof, (vi) provisions of any law, rules, regulations governing such borrowings, and (vii) other commercial considerations
including, among others, the amount of the loan outstanding and the remaining tenor of the loan, among others.
There have been no instance of delays, defaults, rescheduling or restructuring of the aforementioned borrowings or letter of
credit facilities availed by our Company.
In addition to the above, we may, from time to time, enter into further financing arrangements and drawdown funds thereunder.
In such cases or in case the above-mentioned loans are repaid/ prepaid or refinanced prior to the completion of the Offer, we
may utilise Net Proceeds of the Offer towards repayment / prepayment of such additional and/ or refinanced indebtedness
availed by us, details of which shall be provided in the Red Herring Prospectus.

1278. Description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyze, track or monitor the operational and/or
financial performance of our Company
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review and
assess our financial and operating performance. The presentation of these KPIs are not intended to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. We use these KPIs to evaluate our financial and operating
performance. Some of these KPIs are not defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with Ind AS. These KPIs
have limitations as analytical tools. Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information used by other companies and
hence their comparability may be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an
alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results
of operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting
standards, our Company’s management believes that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing
operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides
consistency and comparability with past financial performance, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in
accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational metric
to evaluate our business.
Brief explanation of the relevance of the KPIs for our business operations is set forth below. We have also described and defined
the KPIs, as applicable, in “Definitions and Abbreviations” beginning on page 1.

Regulations impacting the DG industry
Government regulatory support:
The Indian government has recognized the importance of reliable backup power, particularly for critical sectors like healthcare,
data centres, and industries, while promoting environmental sustainability. Support mechanisms include:
Subsidies and Incentives: The government offers subsidies for adopting cleaner technologies, such as CNG-based DG sets or
hybrid systems combining diesel with renewable energy sources like solar. Programs like the National Solar Mission encourage
integrating solar power with DG sets for backup solutions.
Regulatory Framework: The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in the NCR has implemented policies to
phase out older, high emission DG sets and promote CPCB IV+ compliant units. Financial assistance is provided for retrofitting
existing DG sets with RECDs.
R&D Funding: The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) funds research into low-emission backup power
technologies, including hydrogen-based DG sets and battery storage systems.
Rental Solutions: Companies like Modern Hiring Services offer CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets on rent, supported by
government policies that ease compliance costs for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
164Compliance with Environmental Laws
Compliance with CPCB IV+ norms is mandatory for all DG sets manufacturers, importers, and users in India. Key aspects
include:
Certification Requirements: Manufacturers must obtain Type Approval and Conformity of Production (COP) certificates for
each DG sets model, ensuring adherence to emission and noise standards. Testing is conducted by agencies like the Automotive
Research Association of India (ARAI).
Penalties for Non-Compliance: Non-compliant DG sets face fines, seizure, or operational bans, particularly in pollution-
sensitive areas like the NCR. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) enforces strict penalties for violations.
Retrofit Mandates: In-use DG sets must be upgraded with RECDs to achieve a minimum 70% PM reduction. The CAQM
mandates dual-fuel operation in areas with gas infrastructure, aligning with the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) to curb
air pollution during high-pollution periods.
DG sets emission norms India vs other countries
Country Latest Norm (Year) Equivalent to Key Highlights
India CPCB-4+ (2023) EU Stage V Covers <800 kW, very stringent.
USA Tier 4 Final Independent Similar to EU V but allows flexibilities.
EU Stage V (2019) Baseline Benchmark for global best practice.
China CN Stage IV (2020) Between Tier 3-4 Less stringent than EU and India.
Brazil PROCONVE M5 Approx. EU III Delayed rollout of stricter norms.
Note: The above list is non-exhaustive*
The timeline for retrofitting DGs (DGs) with Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECDs) has been clearly defined by regulatory
authorities, particularly for the National Capital Region (NCR). As per directives from the Commission for Air Quality
Management (CAQM), all in-use DGs between 125 kW and 800 kW in areas with gas infrastructure were required to be
retrofitted with RECDs and dual-fuel kits (enabling 70% gas and 30% diesel operation) by 30 September 2023. From 1 October
2023 onward, operation of non-compliant DG sets is strictly prohibited, regardless of pollution levels or GRAP phases. For
smaller DG sets (19–125 kW), dual-fuel operation is mandated, with limited usage allowed during GRAP periods only if
equipped with RECDs. Other states have implemented similar mandates with staggered timelines: Maharashtra required retro
fitment within 120 days from June 2023, Karnataka set a deadline of 31 March 2024 for older DGs (61–800 kW), and Tamil
Nadu has given a 180-day compliance window from its latest notification in April 2024. These regulations are aimed at reducing
particulate matter (PM) emissions by at least 70%, contributing to improved urban air quality and aligning with national
emission control efforts.
India’s CPCB IV+ norms are competitive globally, particularly due to the adoption of BS-VI fuel and a unified standard for all
fuel types. However, they are less stringent than US Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V for NOx and PM, reflecting a balance between
environmental goals and industrial affordability.
Price rationalization after CPCB4+
Following the implementation of the CPCB IV+ emission standards, the Indian DG sets market has experienced significant
price rationalization driven by the need to comply with stringent environmental regulations. The adoption of advanced emission
control technologies, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel particulate filters (DPF), and electronic fuel injection
systems, has led to a notable price hike of 15–20% for CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets compared to their CPCB II counterparts.
This is reflective of the increased manufacturing costs and the use of BS-VI compliant low-sulphur diesel. In addition to the
technology costs, the implementation of CPCB IV+ norms has introduced longer development cycles and more rigorous
certification processes, further contributing to price escalation. Manufacturers are now required to undergo extended testing
protocols, emissions validation, and type approval procedures through accredited agencies such as ARAI and ICAT. These
added steps increase lead times and operational overheads, as suppliers must adapt their supply chains, invest in new tooling
and training, and ensure compliance at every stage of production. Industry experts anticipate further price revisions in the near
future as manufacturers and suppliers work toward a market-fit price point that aligns with consumer expectations and
regulatory compliance. This revision process is expected to be supported by government subsidies, rental solutions, and
improved fuel efficiency, which could mitigate the financial impact on end-users while ensuring sustainable adoption of CPCB
IV+ DG sets.
RECD installations with DG industry
In urban areas like the National Capital Region (NCR), air pollution has become a critical issue due to the emissions from DGs.
These DG sets, often outdated, release harmful pollutants such as Particulate Matter (PM), Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon
Monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), contributing significantly to poor air quality and health risks. Retrofit Emission
Control Devices (RECDs) are essential as they can be installed on existing DG sets to reduce these emissions, helping older
generators meet current environmental standards without the need for costly replacements.
165By integrating RECDs, legacy DGs can continue to operate while significantly minimizing their environmental impact. This
solution is vital for improving air quality in densely populated urban regions, ensuring compliance with stringent regulations,
and supporting sustainable development goals.
RECD Type Description
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Physically captures PM from exhaust; often uses active regeneration
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) Converts CO and HC into CO₂ and water vapor
SCR + DPF Combo Used for NOx and PM control; best for high-capacity DG sets
The Indian government has implemented robust regulations to enforce the use of RECDs for in-use DGs, driven by the National

Domestic Demand Drivers
The demand for Medium-Speed Large Generators (MSLGs), particularly diesel-based, is witnessing sustained growth in India’s
heavy industrial and infrastructure sectors. These generators, typically ranging from 3-MW to 10 MW and beyond, play a
pivotal role in ensuring uninterrupted power supply in critical applications where grid failure can result in catastrophic safety,
financial, or operational consequences.
MSLGs are distinguished by their ability to offer high output, fuel efficiency, long runtimes, and durability—making them the
preferred choice for sectors that require both sustained power capacity and emergency response reliability.
1. LNG Terminals:
Power Reliability for High-Risk Coastal Operations
LNG terminals are critical nodes in India's gas infrastructure, often located in remote or coastal regions with vulnerable
grid connectivity. These facilities require constant power to operate cryogenic storage tanks, compressors, and safety
systems. Given the flammable nature of LNG and the operational complexity, power disruptions can lead to severe
safety risks, environmental hazards, and economic losses.
MSLGs serve as a robust backbone for emergency power at these terminals. MSLGs are preferred due to their fuel
availability, rapid ramp-up capability, and independence from the gas being handled. With India's emphasis on
increasing gas share in the energy mix, new LNG terminals and expansions are likely to drive increased demand for
MSLGs in the 2–6 5-9 MW and multiples thereof, often deployed in redundant (N+1) configurations.
2. Oil Refineries:
Safeguarding Continuous Processing in Mission-Critical Plants
Refineries are among the most power-sensitive industrial operations. A power outage, even of a few minutes, can cause
shutdowns, lead to unstable chemical reactions, or result in costly downtime. Moreover, emergency systems such as
flaring, fire suppression, and environmental controls are fully dependent on backup power sources.
Medium-speed diesel generators, often installed in multi-unit banks (e.g.,5-9 MW and multiples thereof, ensuring rapid
takeover in the event of grid loss. Their high reliability, low maintenance interval, and capacity for extended operations
make them ideal for refinery environments where multi-hour backup may be needed. With refinery capacity expansion
planned under India’s energy security roadmap, this sector remains a key driver for high-capacity MSLG systems.
1713. Steel and Metallurgical Industries:
Maintaining Process Continuity in Energy-Intensive Operations
Steel production processes, particularly in integrated plants with blast furnaces, rolling mills, and electric arc furnaces,
demand uninterrupted power to maintain process integrity. A sudden power failure can cause molten metal to solidify
in furnaces or ladles, risking equipment damage and plant safety.
To prevent such risks, medium-speed generators in the 5–10 MW range are increasingly being deployed as emergency
power sources. These are not intended to carry full plant load but to maintain safe shutdowns, power control systems,
cooling fans, and automation systems. Diesel is the fuel of choice given its energy density, supply flexibility, and ease
of long-term storage.
4. Nuclear Power Plants:
Non-Negotiable Redundancy for Reactor Safety
In nuclear power plants, uninterrupted power supply is critical—not just for productivity, but for life safety and
regulatory compliance. Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) are mandated by nuclear regulators to power essential
systems such as cooling pumps, neutron flux monitors, and control rod drives in the event of main power failure.
Medium-speed diesel generators (often in the 4-9 MW category) are custom-designed to meet nuclear-grade standards,
including seismic resistance, EMP shielding, and thermal robustness. These units must operate flawlessly for extended
durations (up to 72 hours) in a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) scenario.
As India expands its nuclear capacity with upcoming reactors under NPCIL, there will be steady, specification-driven
demand for MSLG systems, often requiring rigorous factory acceptance testing (FAT) and post-installation compliance
protocols.

standby power needs. In 2025, key markets include West Africa, South Asia, East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Southern
Africa, with MSLG sets favoured for their rapid response (20-45seconds) and reliability. South Asia and East Africa
rely on MSLG sets for industrial and infrastructure backup, while Southeast Asia’s urban growth drives demand for
construction applications. Southern Africa’s mining sector benefits from diesel MSLG’s off-grid reliability. These
exports, supported by market players like Powerica and Caterpillar, leverage India’s cost-effective production, though
challenges include rising diesel costs and international emission standards.
Emerging economies, particularly in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America, will drive MSLG demand due to rapid
industrialization, urbanization, and unreliable power grids. The Asia-Pacific region, led by India and China, is
projected to dominate the emergency generator sets market, with a CAGR of 9.3% through 2030, fuelled by power
outages and infrastructure growth. Africa, especially West and East Africa, faces a grid shortfall, making diesel MSLG
sets critical for industrial and mining applications. Powerica received order for 2x5.227 MW MSLG for prestigious
and world’s largest Fertiliser Plant being set up in western Australia.

telecom, and infra.
3. Stricter Emission Regulations:
The introduction of more stringent emission norms is likely to increase compliance costs, lead to design modifications,
and lengthen development cycles for OEMs. For end users, especially in cost-sensitive sectors, this could result in
delayed purchase decisions or re-evaluation of backup power strategies. However, the shift towards advanced DG
technologies, ensuring their continued relevance in sectors where reliability and high-power density remain non-
negotiable.

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN MACROECONOMIC LANDSCAPE
GDP review and outlook
India’s growth to be driven by a relatively balanced set of domestic drivers
Despite ongoing global geopolitical instability, India has maintained its position as one of the fastest-growing major economies
globally. The country's real GDP is estimated to have grown at 6.5% year-on-year in fiscal 2025, according to National
Statistical Office’s (NSO) second advance estimate of national income. In fiscal 2024 the GDP of India was Rs 176.5 trillion
which grew at 9.2% over fiscal 2023. India is the fifth largest economy in the world in fiscal 2024 according to the International
Monetary Fund’s (“IMF”) World Economic Outlook (April 2025). As per IMF GDP Forecasts, India’s GDP growth is estimated
at 6.2% in fiscal 2025, the highest amongst the top 10 economies. World Bank has also forecasted India’s GDP to grow at 6.3%
in fiscal 2025.
Looking ahead, Crisil Intelligence expects India to maintain its GDP growth at 6.5% in fiscal 2026 with downside risk owing
to external headwinds. US tariff hikes pose a key downside risk to the industrial outlook this fiscal. As of now, the pause on the
US’s reciprocal tariff increase provides temporary relief, but the 10% universal tariff hike by the Trump administration is in
force since April. Slower global growth, along with anticipated reciprocal tariff hikes after July, are likely to hit goods exports
this fiscal. Uncertainty regarding tariffs may hinder investments. The eventual impact of these factors will depend on the trade
deal India strikes with the US. A 90-day pause in the reciprocal tariffs proposed by the Trump administration in the United
States on all countries, excluding China, was further extended to end of July 2025. These developments have made the global
environment extremely uncertain and raised downside risks to global as well as India’s growth. The escalation of the tariff war,
with intermittent de-escalation, continues. However, on domestic front the combination of easing inflation, the RBI rate cuts,
and the personal income tax cuts announced in the fiscal 2026 budget are expected to benefit households and boost consumption.
Over fiscals 2022-2025, Indian economy has outperformed its global counterparts by witnessing a faster growth. Going forward
as well, the Indian economy will remain strong and would continue to be one of the fastest growing economies.
The Indian economy is expected to maintain its growth momentum, driven by a combination of domestic factors. The
government's efforts to boost private consumption, invest in infrastructure, and promote economic growth will be crucial in
sustaining the economy's growth trajectory. While government capital expenditure is expected to remain a key enabler, the
continued emphasis on fiscal consolidation implies that investment prospects will hinge on a sustained revival in private capital
expenditure. However, a new set of shocks emanating from current and potential US tariff actions could pose a downside risk
in overall growth. The GDP grew 6.5% on-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, in line with Crisil forecast of 6.8%. This was
a deceleration as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, in which the economy expanded by 8.4% on-year. In the first
quarter of fiscal 2024, the economy had grown 9.7% on-year.

One more rate cut expected in fiscal 2026
Inflation rose in India and across the world in fiscal 2023 led by the fallout of Russia-Ukraine and a shortfall in crop harvests
resulting in soaring food and fuel prices. This prompted major central banks to hike interest rates to combat inflation. The RBI
raised the repo rate by a cumulative 250 bps to 6.5%. The Fed had increased interest rates by a cumulative 525 bps between
February 2022 and July 2023.
Currently, major global central banks are at various stages in their rate-cutting cycles. The Fed cut the federal funds rate by a
total of 100 bps, with the first rate cut of 50 bps in September 2024 followed by 25 bps each in November and December 2024
in response to easing inflationary pressures. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut
the repo rate by 50 basis points (bps) in June, following a 25-bps cut in April, with the repo rate currently at 5.5%. Crisil
Intelligence expects one rate cut in the remainder of this fiscal.

India is poised to emerge relatively stronger amidst the prevailing global uncertainties, with GDP growth projected at 6.5% in
fiscal 2026. The Indian economy's resilience and adaptability in the face of global challenges will be crucial in sustaining its
growth momentum, and the country is likely to remain one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Recently,
according to the April 2025 edition of IMF’s World Economic Outlook report, India’s nominal GDP for FY26 is expected to
reach around $4,187.017 billion, which is slightly higher than that of Japan which is estimated at $4,186.431 billion. This will
take India from its current fifth position to fourth place by the end of 2025. Over the medium term, India is set to continue to
be a dominant player in the global economy, with projections, as per IMF, indicating it might overtake Germany also to become
the third largest economy.
Contribution of key sectors to gross value added
An analysis of India’s gross value added (GVA) shows it has grown consistently over the years except in fiscal 2021, when it
was impacted by the pandemic-induced lockdown. The services sector has remained a significant contributor to GVA over the
years. Growth in services exports, accounting for half of the country’s overall exports, has continued to outpace the economic
growth.
The growth in the manufacturing GVA (5.0% CAGR between fiscals 2016 and 2025) is attributable to various government
initiatives such as Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India and the PLI scheme. Although the share of industry in the GVA has
remained constant at 17%, a large percentage of PLI capex is yet to be commissioned. This is expected to aid growth in the
share of both manufacturing and exports.
The agriculture GVA logged a 4.9% CAGR between 2016 and 2025, driven by the government's subsidy support to farmers
and various other initiatives such as the PM Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (“PMKSY”). Normal monsoon, implementation of various
government schemes and favourable agricultural commodity prices over the past two fiscals have aided the growth.

Private consumption is expected to hold up in fiscal 2026
With more than 58% share in the GDP, private consumption remains the key driver of the economy. However, in fiscal 2025,
middle class consumption was subdued owing to high interest rates and food inflation. To address this, measures announced in
the union budget fiscal 2026 aimed at providing shot in the arm for the consumer sectors.
179• Tax relief measures to prop up consumption: The government has reduced income tax rates under the new tax
regime, which will increase the disposable incomes of the middle class. The tax rebate limit has been raised to Rs 1.2
million from Rs 0.7 million, leading to tax savings of ~Rs 80,000 annually for an individual earning Rs 1.2 million.
Tax slabs have also been revised, which will reduce the tax burden across income levels. These measures will durably
support spending by the middle class beyond fiscal 2026 as well, though some of the increase in disposable income
can also go towards savings and debt repayment.
• Lower food inflation: Food inflation is likely to cool down in fiscal 2026 on expectation of a normal monsoon. Food
inflation has soared in recent years and has been constraining households. The share of food in total consumption is
the highest among lower income households. So, softer food inflation should create space in household budgets for
discretionary spending.
• Policy rate cuts: The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repo rate by 50
basis points (bps) in June, following a 25-bps cut in April. Lower interest rates are expected to mildly support
consumption as they are gradually transmitted to other interest rates in the economy, thereby lowering borrowing costs.
• Support from the rural economy: In addition to the budgetary support, favourable monsoon has supported farm
prospects in fiscal 2025. In terms of rural incomes, stable agricultural output is expected to provide some relief. Rural
India remains largely agrarian, with 86% of land holdings belonging to small and marginal farmers, who dominate the
Indian agricultural landscape. These farmers rely heavily on the monsoon for irrigation, making its timely arrival and
adequacy crucial for a good crop. Any negative impact on crop supply due to low rainfall has a cascading effect on the
rural economy, leading to reduced earnings and lower spending. Over the last five years, the performance of the
agriculture sector has been encouraging. Given the significant role of the rural economy in driving demand for the
automotive industry, particularly for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and tractors, which source large share of their
demand from rural areas, demand for these segments is expected to remain robust.
Regulatory and policy developments that could drive the private capex cycle
• Government push for infrastructure development: The NIP was launched with the projected infrastructure
investment of Rs 111 trillion ($1.5 trillion) during the period 2020-2025. Sectors like energy, roads, urban
infrastructure, and railways have a major share in the NIP. The focused infrastructure initiative will boost the economy,
generate better employment opportunities, and drive the competitiveness of the Indian economy. Roads, Urban and
Housing, Railways, Power (Conventional and Unconventional) and Irrigation have received the most from NIP
amounting to almost 80% of the funds.
• Private sector participation: With the government normalizing capex, the private sector is expected to drive the lead
in furthering the investment momentum. The ability of private corporates to invest is supported by their deleveraged
balance sheets, the healthy balance sheets of lenders, and turning of the interest rate cycle. Private corporate
investments have been sluggish so far. For a full-fledged and sustainable revival in overall capex, the private corporate
sector will need to regain its position as a key driver of investments. The share of private corporate investment in total
fixed investment saw a sustained decline to 34.4% in fiscal 2024 from its peak of 41% in fiscal 2016, following a
steady climb from ~33% in fiscal 2012. A revival in private corporate investment will need to be accompanied by
faster growth in machinery and equipment (or capacity addition) and intellectual property creation (or innovation).
• Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes: The PLI scheme, which aims to drive industrial capex of Rs 2.6-2.8
trillion during the scheme period, is projected to contribute ~5% to capex in key sectors. The incentives, totaling Rs
1.8-1.9 trillion, are expected to generate incremental revenue of Rs 30 trillion. Launched in March 2020, the scheme,
as of November 2024, has attracted investments of Rs 1.61 trillion, highlighting healthy momentum in key targeted
sectors. The PLI scheme is poised to drive significant growth in India’s manufacturing sector over the next two years,
particularly in capital-intensive segments. The scheme has already made considerable strides in reducing India’s
reliance on imports and boosting export revenue in fourteen key sectors, including electronics, textiles, and
automobiles. Historically, these sectors have struggled with a substantial 20% cost disadvantage compared with
Chinese imports. However, the scheme has yielded promising results in sectors such as mobile, telecom and
pharmaceuticals.
Foreign direct investment
India has achieved a remarkable milestone in its economic journey, with gross foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows reaching
an impressive $1 trillion since April 2000. FDI inflows have seen a steady rise—from USD 36.05 billion in FY 2013–14 to
USD 81.04 billion (provisional) in FY 2024–25, marking a 14% increase from USD 71.28 billion in FY 2023–24. Such growth
reflects India’s growing appeal as a global investment destination, driven by a proactive policy framework, a dynamic business
environment, and increasing focus on competitiveness. Initiatives like "Make in India," outcome oriented sectoral policies, and
the Goods and Services Tax (GST) have enhanced investor confidence.

Capex cycle
Increased private sector participation is necessary for balanced and sustainable investment momentum
The government’s post-pandemic strategy of providing extraordinary support to investments via budgetary spending has paid
off, with fixed investments the key driver of GDP growth until fiscal 2024. Now, there is a greater shift in policy strategy
towards incentivising private corporate investments. After having risen from 1.7% of GDP in fiscal 2020 (pre-pandemic period),
central government capex is budgeted to stabilise at 3.1% of GDP in fiscal 2026, same as fiscal 2025. While central government
capex remains supportive, the focus should also be on reducing cost and time overruns. As of December 2024, 63.7% of central
sector projects totalling Rs 1.5 billion and above had time overruns, higher than the 29.8% of projects on time. And 41.1% of
projects faced cost overruns. Here, creating a pipeline of shovel-ready projects and better coordination with states will help get
the best bang for the buck. Reducing time and cost overruns will be critical for meeting the capex target.
With the government normalising capex, it is time for the private sector to take the lead in furthering the investment momentum.
The ability of private corporates to invest is supported by their deleveraged balance sheets, the healthy balance sheets of lenders,
and turning of the interest rate cycle. The government is also taking steps to encourage investments by the private sector. Total
allocation for the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes is budgeted to rise 87% on-year in fiscal 2026, particularly in
sectors such as electronics, textiles, automobiles and components. Efforts at deregulation will help, too. That said, heightened
global uncertainty and uneven private consumption demand conditions have been the key hindrances to a revival in corporate
investment so far.

Government policies and schemes driving manufacturing in India
The Indian manufacturing and allied sectors have seen a host of reforms to aid in improving the competitiveness. Reforms can
be categorised in three major categories – manufacturing focused, infrastructure focused and overarching reforms. Overarching
reforms such as Startup India, Goods and Service Tax have aided in formalisation of the economy and in also attracting capital.
Infrastructure focused reforms have helped in building out infrastructure to aid in bringing down power cost, improving
connectivity via roads, ports, airports aiding reduction in logistics cost. Manufacturing reforms have helped in seeding new age
sectors and providing a boost to existing manufacturing sectors along with helping in the employment generation and catering
to the export market. Programs such as Make in India launched in 2014 followed by UDAY scheme in 2015, National Industrial
Corridor Development Programme in 2017, National Infrastructure Pipeline in 2019, PLI in 2020, Semiconductor Mission in
2021, National Logistics Policy and PM Gati Shakti in 2022 are some of the initiatives undertaken.
China plus one strategy being adopted globally
The China plus one strategy encourages companies to diversify their operations by expanding outside of China while still
maintaining a presence in the country. This strategy is becoming increasingly popular in the solar industry, as companies look
to reduce their dependence on China and diversify their supply chains. There are several factors encouraging the China plus
one strategy for solar. Some of these factors include the rising cost of labour in China, increasing complexity of the Chinese
regulatory environment, growing political risk in China, increasing demand for diversification from investors and several other
countries that are emerging as potential destinations. Additionally, the US sanctions on imports from Xinjiang region imposed
in June 2022 had opened doorways for other exporting economies such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and India. These
countries offer several advantages, including lower labour costs, favourable government policies and access to new markets.
India is one of the potential destinations for solar manufacturing due to its low labour cost as well as favourable political and
regulatory environment for manufacturing. Rising manufacturing base has enabled domestic manufacturers to tap the export
potential with nearly 97% of exports focused on the US alone.
Global tariff actions are also placing India in a favourable light in terms of manufacturing alternatives to China. While the
situation is dynamic, any incremental barriers to trade placed on China will be favourable for India as a manufacturing
destination.
Growth in urbanisation in India
Urbanisation is one of India’s most important economic growth drivers. It is expected to drive substantial investments in
infrastructure development, which in turn is expected to create jobs, develop modern consumer services, and increase the ability
to mobilise savings. India’s urban population has been rising consistently over the decades. As per the 2018 revision of World
Urbanisation Prospects, the urban population was estimated at 36% of India’s total population in 2023. According to the World
Urbanisation Prospects, the percentage of the population residing in urban areas in India is expected to increase to 40% by
2030.

Global focus increases on energy transition and power decarbonisation
The urgent need to address climate change has led to a global shift towards renewable energy, with initiatives like the Paris
Agreement and RE 100 promoting its adoption. Solar power has experienced remarkable growth, with installed capacity
reaching 1,865 gigawatts by 2024, accounting for 42% of the world's total renewable energy capacity. Governments have
supported the solar industry through policies like feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and subsidies, driving global growth in solar
photovoltaics.
The 2021 United Nations COP26 conference aimed to update the time frame for revised targets, with India updating its
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030, achieve 50%
cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, and achieve Net Zero by
2070. The Indian government has initiated efforts to combat climate change through multiple programmes and schemes,
including the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) and the National Solar Mission.
To promote renewable power in India, the government has undertaken several measures, including allowing foreign direct
investment up to 100% under the automatic route, extending waivers of inter-state transmission system charges, and setting up
Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Parks. Additionally, the government has introduced schemes such as PM-KUSUM, Solar
Rooftop Phase II, and the Green Energy Corridor Scheme to facilitate the growth of renewable energy. The government has
also notified standards for deployment of solar PV systems, set up a project development cell, and established standard bidding
guidelines for tariff-based competitive bidding processes. Furthermore, the government has mandated timely payment by
distribution licensees to renewable energy generators through the Electricity (Late Payment Surcharge and related matters)
Rules, 2002 and promoted renewable energy through the Green Energy Open Access Rules, 2022. These efforts aim to support
India's transition to renewable energy and achieve its climate change targets.
Global Electricity Outlook
Global power demand picks up in 2024, expected to rise further by 2027
As per the IEA Electricity 2025, global power demand grew 4.3% in 2024, faster than the 2.5% in 2023. More than 75% of
global electricity demand growth in 2024 came from the Asia Pacific region, where countries like China, India, and Southeast
Asia experienced robust growth in power demand. On the other hand, advanced economies saw stable power demand in 2024,
with the US and Europe experiencing marginal growth of 2% and 1.4%, respectively, led by increased use of heat pumps and
electric vehicles and higher demand from data centres.
Going ahead, global power demand is projected to experience a compounded growth rate of 3.9% over calendar years 2024-
2027, driven by rising industrial production, higher use of air conditioning, accelerating electrification, and the expansion of
data centres worldwide. Power demand in Asia pacific is expected to rise by CAGR of 5-6% from 2024 to 2027, with China
electricity demand easing gradually till 2027 since its economy is expected to slow as it shifts away from traditional heavy
industry. From 2024-2027, power demand in Americas is expected to increase on average by 2-3% per year, driven by a recovery
in industrial activity and growing demand for electricity in the transportation sector. Europe is expected to witness power
demand of 1-2% over 2024-2027 supported by an increased industrial activity that continues to recover while electrification
gathers pace.

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN POWER SECTOR
The Indian power sector and its structure
Electricity is a concurrent subject in India with the Ministry of Power, Government of India (“GoI”), mainly being responsible
for creating the overall policy framework for the power sector in the country. All state-level policies and issues come under the
purview of the respective state governments.
184Institutional and structural framework
Source: Crisil Intelligence
All states and union territories have set up electricity regulatory commissions (“SERCs”) to regulate and determine tariffs for
generation, transmission as well as distribution companies (“discoms”). The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(“CERC”) fulfils this responsibility for inter-state generation and transmission and for central power utilities. The Appellate
Tribunal for Electricity (“APTEL”) was established to hear appeals against the orders of adjudicating authorities (SERCs,
JERC and CERC).
Grid Controller of India Ltd (formerly Power System Operation Corporation Ltd) manages the national and regional grid
through the National Load Despatch Center (“NLDC”) and its five-regional load-despatch centers (“RLDCs”). These entities
operate in unison to ensure the integrated operation of the grid in a reliable, efficient and secure manner. While the NLDC
controls the load flow within the country, the RLDCs and state load despatch centers (“SLDCs”) are responsible for ensuring
the integrated operation of the power system in the concerned regions and states.
Central Transmission Utility of India Limited (“CTUIL”), 100% subsidiary of Power Grid Corporation of India Limited
(“PGCIL”), is notified as the Central Transmission Utility (“CTU”) and is responsible to undertake transmission of electricity
through the inter-state transmission system (“ISTS”) and other functions as per the provisions of Electricity Act 2003. The
National Committee on Transmission (“NCT”) is responsible for planning and examining the proposals of ISTS scheme for
approval. The state transmission utilities (“STUs”) are tasked with the development of the intra-state transmission system. The
transmission lines are operated in accordance with regulations/ standards of Central Electricity Authority (“CEA”) / CERC /
SERCs.
Power exchanges set up for trading of power and deepening markets are a distinct licensed activity (from generation,
transmission and distribution) as recognised by the Electricity Act 2003. Power trading was introduced to meet the short-term
requirement of electricity and to ensure optimum utilisation of power resources across regions, given demand-supply
mismatches. Several traders, both Central government and the private sector, have established their presence; a few states have
companies (e.g., Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh) to procure power on behalf of their state discoms.
The power distribution system is the last leg of the electricity value chain. The main function of the power distribution system
is to provide power to the premises of individual consumers. Responsibility for distribution and supply of power to end-
consumers rests with the states. The power distribution segment in India is largely dominated by the state government-owned
distribution companies, although a few private entities are also present in the sector to serve end-consumers. Further, open
access allows large consumers to procure power through traders, exchanges or via captive/group captive generation.
Structure of the power sector in India
The power sector is one of the most critical drivers for any country. According to IEA, electricity consumption rose by an
estimated 4.3% y-o-y in 2024, up from 2.5% in 2023, with growth expected to continue at a robust 3.9% between 2025-2027.
As per IEA, India is the third largest consumer as of CY 2023, in the world after the United States (US) and China.
185Despite this, India's per capita power consumption is the lowest in the global power consuming countries such as China, US
and Germany. In CY 2023, US recorded the highest per capita power consumption of 12,716 kWh followed by 9,829 kWh in
Australia. China recorded a per capita power consumption of 6,528 kWh and India stood at 1,112 kWh.

This low per capita consumption along with a burgeoning population indicates that India's full potential is yet to be achieved.
While, the advanced economies have already witnessed their spurt in power demand due to past economic growth cycles,
developing nations of China, Indonesia and India are now emerging as the new power demand leaders, despite global headwinds
The value chain of power mainly comprises of three components:
• Generation: It is the process of generating power using different fuels as a source of energy. It is carried out in
generation plants.
• Transmission: Generated bulk power from generating units is transmitted over long distances through high voltage
transmission networks and grid distribution substations
• Distribution: The transmitted power received by distribution agencies is then distributed to the last mile customer.
Distribution is the retail stage and operates at lower voltages.
Sale of power from generators to consumers happens through different routes such as:
• Direct tie-ups
o Competitive bidding: It is a contract between generators and procurer (intermediary/DISCOM) in which the
procurer issues a tender for which interested generators bid. Bidding criteria can be per unit price or based on
the cost of the set-up.
o Bilateral: It is a contract between generators and procurer (direct DISCOM or private consumers) in which
the generator may enter an agreement directly with the procurer
▪ Memorandum of Understanding (MoU): Distribution companies can sign MoU/agreement with
generators for direct procurement of power without competitive bidding. For example, hydropower
projects are largely based on bilateral model, where developers can sign agreements directly with the
distribution companies through MoUs
▪ Third-party sale: It is a contract between generators and customers (industrial and commercial) in
which direct contracts are signed between the generators and consumers (typically those with high load
requirements). This type of contract involves little intervention from the government and hence is more
private in nature
▪ Captive power: In this method, the consumer has self-setups or participate as equity contributors in
projects set up by a generator. Consumers are direct investors in the project, which may or may not be
setup through them. Group captive is a special case in which a group of entities jointly own a captive
with at least 26% of total ownership in generating plant and consume at least 51% of electricity
generated
• Merchant sale: In this method, the generators directly sell power on the day ahead/real-time market of power exchanges
For proper functioning, as well as policy regulation for the above-mentioned components, various government agencies such
as Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC), Ministry of Power
(MoP), and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) are in place.
186SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited) which is a “Navratna” Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) under the
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) plays a crucial role in India's renewable energy sector by facilitating the
development and implementation of solar, wind, and hybrid energy projects. SECI acts as an intermediary between renewable
energy generators and the power distribution companies (DISCOMs). SECI would come under Direct tie-ups agreement where
it operates through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Power Sale Agreements (PSAs) between the power generators and
the DISCOMs.
Indian power supply capacity base and fuel mix till 2030
Installed capacity to breach 750 GW mark by fiscal 2030, renewable installed capacity (ex-hydro) to account for 45-50%
The renewable energy capacity is expected to increase to 365-375 GW mark by fiscal 2030 on back of strong renewable capacity
additions between fiscal 2026-2030 (excluding hydro and storage elements). The renewable energy capacity would account for
45-50% of the total capacity, which is expected to reach 745-755 GW. On the other hand, moderate coal-based capacity additions
of 25-30 GW are expected to lower coal’s share to 30-35% in fiscal 2030. Other fossil fuels (including lignite, gas, and diesel)
are expected to remain stagnant due to negligible capacity additions. Inclusion of hydro, nuclear power and storage capacity in
clean energy, compared with coal plants, is expected to provide a fillip to non-fossil capacity, taking it to 470-480 GW by fiscal
2030, constituting a staggering 60-65% share in installed capacity.
Growing need for energy storage systems is expected to drive the capacity additions of PSP and battery energy storage systems
(BESS) over the next five years. Energy storage is estimated to penetrate 5-6% of total power capacity by fiscal 2030.
Indian power generation trends
RE to account for ~50% of India’s installed capacity by fiscal 2030
India’s installed generation capacity is estimated to be 515-525 GW as of fiscal 2026 from 356 GW at the end of fiscal 2019.
As of fiscal 2026, the country’s power generation mix is estimated to be dominated by thermal power, which is expected to
account for 45-50% of the total capacity, renewable energy sources (35-40%), followed by hydroelectric power (8-10%) and
nuclear power (1-5%). The majority of India’s thermal power generation is based on coal, with a small share from natural gas
and diesel.
The sources of electricity generation in India can be broadly classified into conventional and non-conventional. The
conventional sources of power generation are thermal (coal, lignite, natural gas, and oil), hydro and nuclear power, while non-
conventional sources of power generation (renewable energy sources) include solar, wind, hybrid, and other renewables.
The total conventional capacity (coal, lignite, diesel, hydro, nuclear, and natural gas) in India is estimated to have reach 305-
315 GW at the end of fiscal 2026 from 278 GW in fiscal 2019.
Snapshot of Indian installed power generation capacity
Note: Other fossil fuels include diesel, lignite and natural gas; Other RES includes bio power and small hydro. Other non-fossil fuels include Nuclear and
hydro. Excludes storage capacity.
Source: CEA, Crisil Intelligence
A total of 108 GW of generation installed capacity was added over fiscals 2021-2025. Out of this, renewable capacity additions
(excluding hydro) were 98 GW owing to government’s push to the industry and commitment to COP26 targets. The remaining
24 GW were added in the conventional capacity segment, largely driven by coal-based capacity. The increase in coal capacity
in India was primarily driven by a combination of factors, including the need to meet growing base and peak power demand.
187For instance, privately owned coal capacity has seen a sharp increase in plant load factor to 70% in fiscal 2025 from 55% in
fiscal 2019, registering an improvement of 15%.
Private PLFs see sharpest improvement while central continues to remain highest in fiscal 2025

Renewables share low in generation but rising
Despite renewables accounting for 35-40% of the installed generation capacity as of fiscal 2026, the share in generation was
estimated to be limited at 15-20%. This is primarily due to intermittent nature of renewables. Generation from solar plants is
limited to daytime and is further subjected to number of sunny days during the year. While wind generation is dependent on
adequate wind speeds and generally sees spike in generation during the monsoon season. Traditionally, India has relied upon
thermal, primarily coal generation to meet its power demand owing to intermittency challenges of renewable fuels and easy
rampable nature of coal. The share of coal in power generation has averaged 71% between fiscals 2019-2025.
With additions in renewable capacity, its share in total power generation has increased from 9% in fiscal 2019 to 15% in fiscal
2025. Solar energy accounted for 8% driven by rapid additions of 82 GW between fiscal 2019-2025. While wind energy
generation has increased, its share has remained stable at 5%. In wind energy, a seasonality is generally observed. For example,
wind energy generation in India shows higher output during the high wind season (April to September) and lower output during
the low wind season (October to March). Similarly, wind energy PLFs are generally higher during the high-wind season (April
to September) and lower during the low-wind season (October to March).

Indian power demand trends
Power demand has maintained a robust growth momentum
India’s electricity requirement has grown at a steady pace, with a 5.2% CAGR to 1,695 TWh between fiscal 2019-2025, driven
by economic growth, population growth, urbanisation, and improved transmission and distribution infrastructure.
The growth in fiscal 2025 moderated to 4.3% on year. Coming on a high base, the power demand growth was volatile in fiscal
2025. While severe weather conditions drove demand up 10.9% on year in the first quarter, favourable monsoon and slower
industrial activity moderated the pace at 0.2% on year in the second quarter. Demand rebounded 2.9% on year in the third
quarter driven by cold waves in the north. The fourth quarter witnessed 3.6% growth on year owing to above normal
temperatures and pick in industrial and manufacturing activities. The first quarter of fiscal 2026 witnessed a fall of ~1% owing
to due to lower temperatures and heavy monsoon.
Ample economic activity has driven growth between fiscal 2019-2025. Overall, the power demand has marginally outpaced the
real GDP growth of 5.0% CAGR between fiscal 2019-2025.

The growth in power demand shows low regional variation between fiscal 2019-2025. The Eastern region grew at a 5.4%
CAGR between fiscal 2019-2025 contributed by rapid rural electrification in Bihar and West Bengal and increased industrial
expansion in metals and mining industries across other states. The western region grew at a 5.2% CAGR during the same period
owing to growth in industrial base such as refineries, chemical and cement along with rising urban commercial demand. The
demand in the northern region grew at a 5.2% CAGR during the same period from increased household electrification and
agricultural load. The southern region has grown at 3.8% CAGR owing to growth in IT parks, data centers and electronic
manufacturing, airport and metro expansions, and high agricultural consumption.

In fiscal 2025, base power deficit declined to 0.1% as a ~6% rise in generation supported by higher hydro generation due to
above normal rainfall along with declining coal prices. May 2024 saw a historic peak power demand of 250 GW; the entirety
being serviced thus leading to a 0% deficit for the month. This was aided by 16.3% increase in generation. In fiscal 2024, deficit
declined to 0.3% as higher power demand was met with a 7.4% increase in power generation. Peak demand in August 2023
reached 239 GW which then touched 243 GW in September 2023 which led to these months registering deficits of 0.6% and
0.4% respectively. In fiscal 2023, due to sudden surge in base and peak demand, generation struggled to keep up with the sudden
surge which led to deficit increasing to 0.5% from 0.4% seen in the previous fiscal.

189Peak demand: An instantaneous surge
While base demand follows a consistent pattern, peak demand is an instantaneous surge in power requirement, often occurring
when many consumers (including utility segment commercial and industrial consumers) use electricity simultaneously, such as
in the evenings. In India, peak demand has grown to 250 GW in fiscal 2025 from 177 GW in fiscal 2019. This increase is
attributed to rising cooling demand due to warmer temperatures and surge in economic activity.
Peak demand has outpaced base demand on several instances. While base demand has grown at 5.2% CAGR between fiscal
2019-2025, peak demand has grown at 5.9% CAGR during the same period. Even during COVID-19 affected fiscal 2021, base
demand entered negative territory and fell 1.2% while peak demand grew 3.5% to 190 GW, equivalent to about half of country’s
installed capacity.
Before pandemic struck, electricity demand in India usually peaked during August and September, comprising a majority of
monsoon season. This spike in peak demand was primarily owing to an increase in domestic and commercial load, mainly air
conditioning load. However, following the pandemic, annual peak demand occurred in the summer (April-July) because of high
heatwave conditions. The constant rise in peak demand can be attributed to the economic growth, seasonal vagaries, and an
increasing daily average temperature that India has experienced over the past decade, leading peak demand to touch 250 GW
in May 2024.

Power demand to maintain healthy growth between fiscal 2026-2030
Between fiscal 2026-2030, power demand is expected to clock 5-7% CAGR on back of healthy economic growth and expansion
of electricity footprint via strengthening of the distribution infrastructure. The government’s continued infrastructure and
industrial manufacturing push is expected to drive power demand, with climate-change induced temperature fluctuation also a
key reason for peak demand surges. Major reforms initiated by the central government towards improving the health of the
power sector, particularly that of state distribution utilities, are expected to improve the quality of power supply, thereby
boosting power penetration levels as well.
Power demand growth between fiscal 2026-2030 is expected to marginally outpace the growth witnessed in fiscal 2020-2025.
Industrial and domestic category to dominate and grow till fiscal 2030
Commercial and industrial consumers dominate power consumption in India accounting for nearly 50% of the total electricity
consumed.
190Segment wise power consumption
Note: Others category includes consumption from traction, electric vehicles, and other sources, Industrial category includes captive consumption. Commercial
category of includes power used by businesses and other non-industrial establishments. Domestic segment includes power used by households for various
purposes. Agriculture segment includes power consumption in all stages of agricultural production and processing
Fiscal 2030 data is estimated.
Source: CEA, Crisil Intelligence
In the medium term, climate change related temperature variations along with rising urbanisation are going to be key drivers
for rapid growth of the domestic power category. Industrial consumption will continue to dominate power consumption as
industrial manufacturing push and government led infrastructure related investments bolster production activity. Initiatives like
reduced power cuts, agricultural feeder segregation, and solarization of distribution feeders are expected to drive agricultural
power demand. However, these efforts will also lower AT&C losses, which currently affect the agriculture segment. Commercial
power demand recovered in fiscal 2023, as office spaces and educational institutions reopened to full capacity.
Power demand growth drivers and constraints
Power demand closely linked to the growth in GDP
Power demand is closely linked to GDP growth where historically power consumption largely follows economic cycles. Except
for a few years such as fiscal 2023, 2021 and 2013 etc., power demand has lagged GDP growth by 0.5-1 percentage points and
is estimated to continue to do the same till fiscal 2030.
In fiscal 2023, electricity demand surged by 9.7%, outpacing the country's GDP growth of 8.2%. This uptick was driven by a
resurgence in economic activity following the full lifting of COVID-19 lockdowns. Furthermore, the warmer temperatures
brought on by El-Nino, combined with below-average rainfall in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, led to increased demand for
cooling and irrigation, respectively. Reduction in industrial and commercial activity due to COVID-19 lockdowns led to GDP
growth trailing behind power demand growth in fiscal 2021.
Snapshot of relation between power demand growth and GDP growth
Source: CEA, Crisil Intelligence
Crisil Intelligence expects power demand to increase 5.5-6.5% on year in fiscal 2026 to 1,790-1,800 BU. Buoyant economic
performance and weather changes are expected to be the key drivers for power demand growth in the fiscal.
Crisil Intelligence expects the economy to maintain its 6.5% growth in fiscal 2026. With more than 55% of the GDP being
driven by private consumption, it is likely to improve further in fiscal 2026, driven by budgetary support and easing inflation,
expectations of healthy monsoon and RBI’s interest rate cuts. That being said, investment prospects hinge on the pickup in the
private capex while geo-political headwinds to exports remain a monitorable. The recently announced reciprocal trade tariff by
the US is expected to provide a significant downside risk to global trade and as a result to Indian exports and imports. In the
interim, the private capex cycle may remain muted till clarity emerge on global trade dynamics.
Overall, the power demand is expected to sustain high growth trends between fiscal 2026-2030, logging a 5-7% CAGR on the
back of healthy economic growth and expansion of power footprint via strengthening of distribution infrastructure.
Broad-based manufacturing, infrastructural push, and temperature highs to aid power demand
With nearly half of India’s power demand coming from industrial and commercial consumers, expansion of relevant activities
is crucial for power demand to continue growing. Key factors driving power demand include expansion of railways and metro
routes, capacity addition by companies in steel, cement, oil and gas and pharmaceutical sectors, continued thrust on
191manufacturing sectors for global opportunities, push towards backward integration and focus on high tech sectors. However,
increasing energy efficiency and reduced technical losses will cap growth. Power demand would reduce by 8-9 BUs on an
average every year owing to the improvement in T&D losses between fiscal 2026-2030.
India’s power demand is also heavily influenced by temperature, with peak demand increasing by 20% during summer months
and 5% in winter months due to heating requirements. This trend is expected to continue driven by rising urbanisation, economic
growth, and infrastructure development.
Government policies and schemes to aid power demand
The Indian manufacturing and allied sectors have seen a host of reforms to aid in improving the competitiveness. Reforms can
be categorised in three major categories – manufacturing focused, infrastructure focused and overarching reforms. Overarching
reforms such as Startup India, Goods and Service Tax have aided in formalisation of the economy and in also attracting capital.
Infrastructure focused reforms have helped in building out infrastructure to aid in bringing down power cost, improving
connectivity via roads, ports, airports aiding reduction in logistics cost. Manufacturing reforms have helped in seeding new age
sectors and providing a boost to existing manufacturing sectors along with helping in the employment generation and catering
to the export market.
Per capita trends to rise with urbanisation
India’s per capita electricity consumption has increased steadily, driven by economic growth, urbanisation, and electricity
access. According to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), it rose from 819 kWh in fiscal 2011 to 1,395 kWh in fiscal 2024,
at a 4% CAGR
Urbanisation is a key driver, with India’s urban population expected to grow from 377 million in 2011 to 583 million by 2030.
The household consumption expenditure survey (2023-24) shows a significant difference in average monthly per capita
expenditure on fuel and light between rural (Rs 252) and urban (Rs 391) areas. As India urbanises, per capita electricity
consumption is likely to rise, driven by increasing demand for energy intensive appliances and services.
Past electrification drives and untapped residential potential to support power demand
India has made significant progress in electrifying its villages and households through schemes like Rajiv Gandhi Grameen
Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY), Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), and Saubhagya Scheme. The RGGVY
electrified over 1.2 million villages by 2018, while Saubhagya Scheme electrified over 25 million households by 2020. Despite
this progress, there are still over 10 million rural households that lack access to electricity, presenting a significant opportunity
for power demand growth. Electrifying those households could increase power demand by upto 10 GW, while providing reliable
and affordable electricity to urban slums could add another 5 GW. Overall, India’s past electrification drives have made
significant progress, but there is still untapped residential potential to drive power demand, with growing demand for electricity-
intensive appliances and increasing access to electricity for low-income households.
Allocation to Railway electrification rises 6% to Rs 61.5 billion in union budget 2026
Indian Railways, one of the world's largest rail networks, aims to become a net zero emitter by 2030. As of March 2024, 97%
of the Broad-Gauge network is electrified, with a goal to reach 100% electrification by fiscal 2026. This is expected to lead to
an incremental power demand of approximately 27 billion units per year between 2026-2030. The Ministry of Railways has
been allocated Rs 2.5 trillion in the Union Budget 2025-26, with Rs 61.5 billion earmarked for electrification projects, driving
growth in the sector and supporting the creation of new lines, doubling existing lines, and electrification of existing lines.
Growth in the operational and upcoming metro projects to increase electricity requirements
The electricity consumption of the urban metro system mainly comes from electricity consumption for train traction and the
electricity consumption for station operation. Metro rail has seen substantial growth in India in recent years, and the rate of
growth is going to become twice or thrice in the coming years with multiple cities requiring the need for metro rail to meet
daily mobility requirements. As of March 31, 2025, around 943 kms of metro routes are operational across 18 cities of India.
Around 732 kms of metro line is under construction and 1,888 kms of metro lines are proposed further. Electricity consumption
from the aforesaid categories is expected to add an average incremental power demand of 6-7 BUs every year between fiscal
2026 and 2030. As of fiscal 2025, Crisil Intelligence estimates metro projects constituted ~6% of the total incremental demand,
but the share is expected to increase to 15-20% by fiscal 2030 due to a large quantum of planned metro projects.
EVs, Green hydrogen, data centres are growing segment with impact on power
India aims to increase the share of EVs in the overall car population to 30% by 2030. Under the National Electric Mobility
Mission, the government envisages to promote EV adoption through demand-side incentives, i.e. subsidies, promoting charging
infrastructure, and encouraging research and development in battery technology, power electronics, battery management and
system integration, etc. EV sales in India have been supported by Demand incentives across various government schemes such
as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) II followed by the EMPS and PM E-Drive
scheme. EV sales have picked up sequentially over the years aided by improved model availability and favourable cost dynamics
compared to their ICE variants in the Two and Three-Wheeler Segments.
192Green hydrogen is another area that will increase power demand. The government introduced the National Green Hydrogen
Mission in January 2023, aiming for 5 million metric tons per annum of green hydrogen capacity by 2030. According to IEA,
green hydrogen production could increase power consumption by upto 1000 TWh by 2050, equivalent to India’s current
electricity demand. India aims to add 125 GW due to green hydrogen production.
The growth of data centers in India is also driving up power consumption. This growth will primarily be driven by increasing
demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) which require massive amounts of computational power, data storage, and energy to
operate, cloud computing, e-commerce, and digital services.
In conclusion, the growth of EVs, green hydrogen, and data centers is expected to drive up power consumption in the coming
years.
Efficiency gains caused by reduction in technical losses limit power demand to an extent
Technical losses during electricity transmission and distribution can be reduced through government initiatives, leading to
significant efficiency gains. The Indian government has launched the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) with Rs
3.04 trillion to reduce losses, and approved projects worth Rs 1.21 trillion for loss reduction and Rs 1.30 trillion for smart
metering. Additionally, the Unnati Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for ALL (UJALA) scheme aims to replace 770 million inefficient
bulbs with LED bulbs, with 368 million replacements achieved so far, is expected to reduce power demand by 1-2 GW between
fiscals 2026-2030. Implementing smart grid technologies, grid modernization, and energy efficiency measures can help reduce
technical losses, improve power sector efficiency, and meet India's growing electricity demand.
Demand supply gap
India’s power demand deficit reduced to 0.1% in fiscal 2025 from 0.6% seen in fiscal 2019 as high-power demand was met
with a generation increase at 4.9% CAGR during the same period.

Source: CEA, Crisil Intelligence
With power demand expected to clock 5-7% CAGR between fiscal 2026-2030, significantly higher than 5.0% CAGR over the
past 5 years, Crisil Intelligence estimates all-India deficit to be in the range of 0.05-0.15% in fiscal 2030.
Despite improvements, under serviced regions (mainly northern, north-eastern, and eastern) are also a key reason for expected
continuation in pan-India deficit in the medium term despite an oversupply situation in terms of generation. The government is
expected to improve connectivity within these regions, with inter-regional transmission capacity of the National Grid at 118,740
MW as of March 2025, aiding in reduction of the deficit.
Apart from this, although base deficit has reached below 1% in almost all major states except for Andaman and Nicobar Islands
as of fiscal 2025. Crisil Intelligence believes that terming this scenario as a power surplus situation is not appropriate. There is
still off-grid untapped latent demand in the country, and 100% intensive rural electrification and 24x7 power supply have not
yet been achieved.
As per data available on the SAUBHAGYA dashboard, all households in the country are connected to the electricity grid.
However, many of these are deprived of 24x7 power supply. States such as Haryana, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka,
Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Mizoram are yet to provide round-the-clock power supply to rural areas. As of
fiscal 2024, the national average for daily power supply to urban and rural areas stood at 23.4 hours and 21.9 hours respectively,
highlighting unmet demand in the country.
On the other hand, healthy capacity in coal, gas, diesel, lignite, nuclear, hydro and PSP capacities addition in the past (gross
capacity additions of 27 GW between fiscal 2019 and 2025) and 57-59 GW of upcoming over the next 5 years would add to
supply over the forecast period. This, coupled with expected healthy investments in T&D infrastructure, is expected to support
rising demand. However, Crisil Intelligence expects base deficit to persist, though remaining negligible over the next 5 years,
as deficit is expected to gradually come onto the grid in the long term.
193OVERVIEW OF INDIAN RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR
Drive to push renewable takes a center stage
The global push for clean energy is fueling a surge in renewable energy installations worldwide, driven by decreasing costs,
supportive policies, and growing concerns about energy security, access, and socio-economic benefits. Over the past decade,
the solar PV and wind sectors has undergone a remarkable transformation, marked by large-scale deployments, significant tariff
reductions, and technological advancements.
The urgent need to address climate change is driving the shift towards renewable energy, and its increased adoption is crucial
for decarbonisation. International initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement, and RE 100 have bolstered the
renewable energy sector. To limit global warming to below 2°C and ideally 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, a transition to
renewable energy is critical.
Countries party to Paris Agreement are required to submit and monitor their nationally determined contributions (NDCs),
outlining their plans to reduce emissions. Governments have implemented various policies to support renewable industry,
including feed-in tariffs, “must-run” status, renewable purchase obligations, tax incentives and subsidies. These majors have
accelerated global growth of renewable energy.

194Industry Overview – Renewable Energy Sector
Renewable Energy Sector – Over 1,800 GW of solar and wind energy potential in India
Renewable energy (RE) represents a clean and sustainable alternative to conventional energy sources. Unlike fossil fuels,
renewable sources do not undergo combustion and hence do not emit air pollutants or greenhouse gases during electricity
generation. Increasing reliance on renewable energy is expected to significantly reduce carbon emissions, thereby playing a
critical role in limiting global warming and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. Moreover, renewables are
abundantly available in nature, reducing the risk of depletion commonly associated with fossil fuel-based energy.
India’s renewable energy sector includes multiple sources such as solar, wind, small hydro, biomass, and bagasse. Among these,
solar and wind energy have emerged as dominant contributors to capacity addition, driven by policy incentives and
technological advancements.
The country has witnessed substantial growth in renewable energy capacity over the past decade. As of March 2025, the total
installed renewable energy capacity (including large hydro) stood at approximately 220 GW, a significant increase from
approximately 76 GW in March 2014 and 134 GW in March 2020. This expansion has been supported by a favourable
regulatory environment, investment incentives, and strong commitments under India’s climate action goals.
Notably, solar energy has been a major driver of this growth, with installed capacity rising from a modest 2.8 GW in March
2014 to approximately 106 GW by March 2025. The country’s installed renewable energy capacity (including large hydro)
accounted for approximately 46% of the total installed power generation capacity as of March 2025, underscoring the sector’s
increasing importance in the national energy mix.
Despite this significant capacity addition, the actual energy generation from renewables remains relatively lower due to lower
capacity utilisation factors compared to conventional sources. For fiscal 2025, the renewable energy sector (including large
hydro) contributed approximately 404 Billion Units (BU) to total electricity generation in the country.
The continuing growing trends towards renewable energy on account of greater environmental awareness and the general trend
to move away from non-renewable sources of energy provide with a significant opportunity for renewable energy power
developers. For example, the Government is expected to achieve 50% of its energy from non-fossil sources by 2030 and has
set the renewable energy target at 500 GW by 2030. In addition, the regulatory requirements will incentivise certain private
entities to source their power requirements from renewable sources. Interstate transmission charges have also been waived for
25 years for projects commissioned until June 30, 2025, which will expand offtake options in the short-term power market. The
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited is constructing green energy corridors to integrate renewable energy with the main
grid, connecting renewable energy-rich states to states that lack renewable energy generation potential, which is expected to
boost inter-state sale of renewable energy.
India stands 3rd globally in Renewable Energy Installed Capacity, 4th in Wind Power capacity and 3rd in Solar Power capacity.
Despite strong capacity additions, there is huge untapped potential for RE installations in India.
India’s renewable energy market has been driven by the solar and wind energy fuels while the balance comprises of small hydro
and biopower. The renewable energy capacity (excluding hydro) in India stood at 172 GW, registering a growth of 13.8% CAGR
between fiscals 2019-2025.
While solar led the renewable energy additions at 82% between fiscals 2019-2025, India’s installed base was dominated by
wind energy till fiscal 2020 driven by additions under the feed-in tariff regime till fiscal 2017. Fiscal 2021 witnessed
convergence between the solar and wind energy. Infact, 66% of India’s 106 GW of solar base was installed between fiscal 2021-
2025.
195Renewable energy base grows at a 13.8% CAGR between fiscals 2019-2025
Source: MNRE, Crisil Intelligence
Solar power grew at CAGR of 24% between fiscal 2019-2025, increasing from 29 GW in fiscal 2019 to ~106 GW in fiscal
2025. While in the same duration, wind grew 6% CAGR going from ~36 GW in fiscal 2019 to 50 GW in fiscal 2025.
This capacity addition demonstrates the strategic shift in India's renewable energy focus towards solar, driven by the country’s
long-term decarbonisation goals.
Despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during the second wave, the solar sector remained resilient.
In fiscal 2022, approximately 13 GW of solar capacity was added. To support developers impacted by pandemic-related delays,
the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) granted a cumulative extension of seven and a half months for affected
projects. This led to the deferment of several projects, causing a spillover of commissioning timelines into fiscals 2023 and
2024.
In fiscal 2023, approximately 13 GW of new solar capacity was added. The momentum continued in fiscal 2024, with solar
additions reaching approximately 15 GW.
The continued expansion of solar energy capacity reinforces India’s commitment to its renewable energy targets and
underscores the strategic importance of solar within the country’s overall energy transition framework. The Government of
India (GoI) introduced solar Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs) across Indian states in 2011, which, combined with a
significant decline in capital costs, catalysed widespread policy support for solar energy. This regulatory push spurred a surge
in investments in the solar sector.
Until fiscal 2012, only Gujarat and Rajasthan had formal state-level solar policies. However, the success of Gujarat’s solar
policy prompted several other states—such as Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana—to
roll out their own solar energy frameworks.
The renewable energy penetration in Indian states varies from state to state. In the top 10 renewable energy rich states, the
penetration is higher than national average. The following table summarises the share of renewable energy in total power
consumption. The share of renewable energy in most states is increasing.

Source: ICED Niti Aayog, Crisil Intelligence
India has vast wind energy potential of 1164 GW at 150 m above ground level (as per National Institute of Wind Energy),
although it is concentrated in five states of Rajasthan (24%), Gujarat (16%), Maharashtra (15%), Karnataka (15%), and Andhra
Pradesh (11%).
The high wind speeds at 150 m significantly increase the feasibility of large-scale wind projects compared to lower hub heights.
As turbine technology continues to evolve, more areas across the country could become viable for harnessing wind energy.
Additionally, India’s long coastline and open terrains present opportunities to further explore both onshore and offshore wind
potential.
On the other hand, TERI’s reassessment of India’s solar energy potential suggests it to be around 10.8 TW The country’s location
makes it an ideal spot for harnessing solar energy, with 300 days of sunshine annually.
The global horizontal irradiance (GHI) in India ranges from 3.77-5.64 kWh/m2. The GHI varies across the north-eastern hilly
regions and the western cold desert areas. The Indian summer monsoon, which typically lasts from June to September, can
affect solar generation in western and central India, while the northeast monsoon can impact southern regions during the winter
months. Additionally, unseasonal rainfall can also negatively impact solar energy production.

199Pricing difference pushes renewables growth
Renewables are now cheaper and faster to construct than conventional power plants
Source: ICED, MNRE, Crisil intelligence
The pricing for renewables is now more competitive than coal, the predominant fuel for India. With volatility in coal pricing as
well leading to rapid increases in coal power pricing in the past, stable long-term pricing agreements for renewables is also
another positive driver for clean power purchase agreements. Beyond the declining costs of renewables and India's vast
potential, two critical aspects cement renewables power's position as the preferred category: scalability and modularity, and site
flexibility. Given a potential, renewables can be scaled up or down depending on the energy requirements across the country,
making it adaptable to both small residential needs and large industrial demands. Additionally, construction time for renewable
power plants is lower compared to conventional counterparts, leading to faster turnaround time in the overall cycle.
Indian renewable energy outlook and growth drivers
Solar and wind to witness 180-200 GW of additions between fiscal 2026-2030
Between fiscals 2026-2030, India is projected to witness the addition of 140-160 GW of solar and 25-27 GW of wind additions,
marking a significant acceleration in renewable energy deployment. This capacity build out is nearly 2 times the aggregate
additions recorded during the fiscals 2019-2025, underscoring a strong policy push and growing investor interest in the sector.

Rooftop solar is anticipated to contribute around 10-20%, propelled by increasing commercial and residential demand and push
from PM SuryaGhar Yojana. The Open Access market is expected to contribute the remaining 5-15%, aided by rising
participation from corporate buyers pursuing sustainability goals and cost optimisation strategies. A notable trend within this
expansion cycle is the rising share of hybrid renewable energy systems particularly wind solar hybrids with battery storage. The
demand for schedulable renewable energy is expected to grow, driven by industrial off takers, distribution companies, and grid
operators seeking round-the-clock power supply solutions. As a result, hybrid projects are increasingly being favoured in the
center and state procurement programs, offering both generation diversity and improved capacity utilisation. This shift aligns
with India's broader energy transition goals, with emphasized grid reliability, decarbonisation, and domestic manufacturing
between fiscals 2026-2030. It is thus expected to not only deliver high volumes of renewable capacity but also a more balanced
and resilient portfolio mix positioning India as a key market in the global clean energy landscape.
Growth drivers for renewable energy additions in India
The robust capacity expansion in renewable energy in India is expected to be driven by demand and supply led growth drivers.
a. Renewable energy parks: Renewable energy parks help overcome higher project cost per MW and higher
transmission losses. The scheme for “Development of Solar Parks and Ultra-Mega Renewable Energy Power Projects”
was rolled out in December 2014 to facilitate the project developers to set up projects expeditiously. As of January
2025, 41 GW of capacity parks were envisaged across 13 states. Gujarat and Rajasthan account for 30% and 28%,
respectively. Further as of January 2025, with nearly 28 GW awarded, of which 15 GW was under construction and
13 GW commissioned. Adani Green Energy Limited is developing an RE park in Khavda of 30 GW. The park had 4.1
GW operational capacity as of March 2025.
b. PM SuryaGhar Yojana: Launched in February 2024, the scheme aims for the installation of solar rooftop on 10
million households. The yojana achieved 10% of its target by 10th March 2025. With 4.7 million applications received,
the initiative has already disbursed Rs 47.7 billion in subsidies to 0.6 million beneficiaries, making solar energy more
accessible than ever. The scheme’s easy financing options, including collateral-free loans up to Rs 0.2 million at
a 6.75% subsidised interest rate through 12 Public Sector Banks, have further accelerated adoption. Crisil Intelligence
expects the PM SuryaGhar Yojana to add 15-17 GW between fiscal 2026-2030.
c. The 50 GW tendering pipeline: The government has decided to invite bids for 50 GW of renewable energy capacity
annually for five years i.e. fiscals 2024-2028. These annual bids of ISTS connected renewable energy will also include
setting up of wind power capacity of at least 10 GW per annum. Tenders of 48 GW and 33 GW in fiscal 2024 and 2025
have been issued by four RE implementing agencies (REIAs) – (SECI, NTPC, SJVN and NHPC).
d. RPO: To renewable purchase obligation is a regulatory requirement set by the State Electricity Regulatory
Commission (SERC), which mandates that Obligated Entities procure a minimum percentage of their total energy
consumption from renewable sources. As of April 1, 2024, a revised renewable purchase obligation (RPO) trajectory
took effect, replacing the previous one set in September 2022 to promote wind, hydro and distributed renewable energy
sources. However, any excess energy consumption from "Other" renewable energy sources in a given year could be
used to make up for shortfalls in wind or hydro renewable energy consumption.

e. Green Energy Open Access (GEOA): The MoP took a significant step towards promoting the use of green energy
by introducing the Green Energy Open Access Rules, 2022. As of December 2024, 22 states have released draft or
final regulations to adopt these rules.
f. State renewable energy policies: India’s leading states are advancing ambitious renewable energy policies to meet
national sustainability goals. Rajasthan’s integrated clean energy policy 2024 targets 125 GW of renewable capacity
by 2030, including 90 GW solar and 25 GW wind and hybrid energy, with provisions for top solar installations up to
1 MW under gross metering. Gujarat’s Renewable Energy Policy 2023 aims for 50% of its power from renewables by
2030, planning to harness 36 GW solar and 143 GW wind capacity, and attract investments of approximately Rs 5
trillion. Andhra Pradesh’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy 4.0 aspires to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2047
targeting 78.5 GW solar, 35 GW wind, and 22 GW pump storage capacity, while offering incentives like land
acquisition and power subsidies. Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are also enhancing their renewable energy frameworks,
focusing on solar and wind energy expansions, and integrating battery storage systems to ensure grid stability.
g. Viability gap funding (VGF): In September 2023, the government approved the VGF scheme for development of
4,000 MWh of BESS capacity by fiscal 2031. An initial outlay of Rs 94 billion including budgetary support of Rs 37.6
billion has been provided under the scheme. The VGF would be provided from fiscals 2024-2026 and will be capped
at 40% of the capital cost. The Union Cabinet also approved the VGF scheme for offshore wind energy projects at a
total outlay of Rs 74.53 billion, including an outlay of Rs 68.53 billion for installation and commissioning of 1 GW of
offshore wind energy projects (500 MW each off the coast of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu), and grant of Rs 6 billion for
upgradation of two ports to meet logistics requirements for offshore wind energy projects. While offshore wind energy
installations are expected to commence from fiscal 2031, BESS is expected to benefit between fiscals 2026-2030.
h. PM KUSUM: In March 2019, the Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evan
Utthaan Mahabhivan Scheme (PM-Kusum Scheme), with an outlay of Rs 344 billion as central financial support. The
objective is to install 10 GW of solar capacity under component A, 1.4 million standalone solar-powered pump systems
under component B and 3.5 million grid connected solar-powered pump systems including feeder level solarisation
under component C in off-grid areas to provide energy and water security for farmers, reduce the consumption of
diesel, promote the use of renewable energy in the agricultural sector and reduce environmental pollution. While the
progress has been sluggish in component A with 563.48 MW installations, component B and C have seen a better pace
with 0.77 million pump installations, and 0.34 pumps solarised respectively as of March 2025.
i. Energy storage with solar: To achieve India’s 500 GW non-fossil fuel target by 2030, the capacity of variable
renewable energy (VRE) sources such as solar and wind needs to be enhanced significantly. This can pose significant
challenges to grid stability, as the VRE sources are intermittent and variable in nature and may not be available for
generation during the periods of low renewable energy or high demand. In this context, energy storage systems (ESS)
would be essential to ensure grid stability, reliability, and optimal energy utilisation. Thus, the CEA has proposed to
all renewable energy implementing agencies and state utilities to incorporate a minimum of 2 hours of collocated ESS,
equivalent to 10% of the installed solar project capacity in the future solar tenders. This is expected to result in 14
GW/28 GWh of storage installed base by 2030.
j. Late payment surcharge (LPS) rules: The MoP introduced LPS Rules on June 3, 2022, to tackle the problem of non-
payment of generator dues by power distribution companies (discoms). The rules enable Power System Operation
Corporation Limited (POSOCO) to penalise discoms for non-payment of both current dues and overdues by blocking
of their access to the short-term energy market. Overdues of discoms after introduction of LPS rules have reduced
significantly from over Rs 1.1 trillion as of June 2022 to Rs 0.6 trillion as of June 2025, for all generating fuels,
including renewable energy.
202k. Transmission infrastructure augmentation: As of fiscal 2025, total installed renewable energy capacity was ~220
GW (comprising solar, wind, bio energy and small and large hydro) out of total ~475 GW power generation capacity
in India. However, based on the units supplied, renewable energy's share amounts to only ~14% of total power
supplied. Its share is expected to rise to 25-30% in generation by fiscal 2030. This may result in grid instability due to
variable nature of generation of power from renewable energy sources. Hence, renewable generation may have to be
backed down to maintain grid stability. To address this, the government is taking measures such as planning electricity
generation reserves, augmenting transmission infrastructure, and introducing technical standards and regulations.
Various schemes are being implemented for transmission infrastructure augmentation to cater to growing renewable
energy installed base. Renewable plants are often located in remote areas, requiring robust transmission planning to
connect them to cities and industrial areas. To address this, the government has launched schemes like the Green
Energy Corridor (GEC) and Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) aimed to integrate renewable energy into the grid. GEC
Phase-I aimed to develop evacuation corridors for renewable energy in key states. The inter-state component was
completed in March 2020, and the intra-state component is near completion, with 9,135 ckm of transmission lines
constructed as of June 2024. GEC Phase-II, approved in March 2022, aims to integrate approximately 19 GW of
renewable energy.
l. Green hydrogen push: India aims to achieve 5 Million Metric Tonne Per Annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen
manufacturing capacity by 2030. The mission aims to reduce dependence on production of hydrogen using fossil fuels
and engage renewable energy for the same. The target of 5 MMTPA green hydrogen provides an additional upside of
125 GW of renewable energy capacity additions.
Availability of finance for funding mechanism
To facilitate growth of renewable energy, the government of India has provided several measures to facilitate availability to
developers. Some of these steps taken are as follows:
Funding from lending institutions such as PFC, IREDA, REC and PFC: Government financial institutions such as Power
Finance Corporation (PFC), Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) and IREDA finance renewable energy projects. As of
December 2024, the renewable energy portfolio of PFC crossed Rs 694 billion, 28% increase on year. Similarly, REC has
sanctioned Rs 791 billion loans to renewable energy including large hydro in 9M fiscal 2025. IREDA’s outstanding loans
amounted to Rs 690 billion, marking an increase of 36% on year.
Green bond/masala bonds market: A green bond is like any other bond; however, it invests the proceeds to support green
investments including renewable energy projects. The tenure of the bond typically ranges from 18 to 30 months. India is the
second country after China to have national level guidelines for green bonds. Green bonds may be issued by a national
government, multilateral organisations, financial institutions, and corporations.
Pension funds/endowment funds: Pension/endowment funds are expected to play a key role in financing renewable energy
projects. Long-term 25-year PPAs with limited operational risk are very suitable to this investor category.
Funding from multilateral banks and International Solar Alliance: The central government channelises the funds available
from multilateral banks and financing institutes such as the World Bank and KfW. The central government or its representatives
receive the funds and further allocate it to various states/state government schemes. Funds are also provided to various
CPSUs/Central non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) with Indian government backing under the Climate Investment Fund
of the World Bank.
OVERVIEW OF INDIAN WIND ENERGY SECTOR
Capacity additions momentum continues in fiscal 2025
SECI projects drive installations
India has seen 15.8 GW of wind energy additions between fiscals 2019-2025. Within the block years, fiscal 2025 witnessed
record breaking additions of 4.2 GW after the cessation of feed-in tariff regime. This came on the back of commissioning of
projects under schemes such as SECI Tranches-V, VIII, IX, X and XI and Hybrid Tranche-VII. The average monthly capacity
addition in fiscal 2025 stood at ~346 MW, up 28% on year and ~4 times that of fiscal 2022. This pickup in the execution rate
in recent years was attributed to pent up pipeline. Overall SECI schemes were responsible for ~46% of the capacity additions
between fiscals 2019-2025.

The sector, however, continues to face delays due to execution challenges such as grid connectivity issues, congestion of good
wind resource regions, limited choice in OEM suppliers, land acquisition with 5dx7d, right of way for logistics of WTG and
transmission line, turning radius and movement of material challenges for the project. SECI and other state entities cumulatively
allocated ~21.2 GW of standalone wind capacity between fiscals 2017-2025, of which ~7.1 GW (34%) has been commissioned
and ~5.5 GW (26%) cancelled. With commissioning timelines of 18-24 months, projects are now lined up for commissioning
over the next five fiscals.
Awarded schemes are facing execution headwinds, due to delays in receiving regulatory approvals, issues relating to land
acquisition, long-term access to transmission, locating land in windy regions and monsoon-related disruptions.
In addition, previously, volatility in prices of key commodities, such as cement and steel (4% and 26% on-year, respectively)
in fiscal 2022 and a further increase (of ~3% and 4%) in fiscal 2023 because of supply-chain disruptions amid geopolitical
challenges, contributed to cost escalations and higher capital cost for wind projects.
Through the years, the capital cost of wind power (Rs million per MW) has become competitive compared to other conventional
sources of power due to economies of scale and the large manufacturing capacity for wind turbine generators in India. With
demand for wind-solar hybrid (“WSH”) projects on the rise, driven by corporate buyers and discoms seeking reliable green
power, the MNRE introduced the National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy in 2018 to promote better grid stability and reduce
renewable energy variability. Several states, including Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan, have also implemented their
own WSH policies.

The higher input prices seeping into turbine costs, compared with the past have reduced project returns, impacting execution of
delayed projects bid at lower tariffs. This has also caused bid tariffs to increase 10% CAGR between fiscals 2022 and 2024 as
developers treaded cautiously for new allocations. Tariffs in fiscal 2025 continued to rise, growing by 12% on year, despite
relief in commodity prices. The rise can be attributed to issues with regards to acquisition of land, concentration in type I wind
sites, availability of adequate transmission infrastructure, falling cost of solar energy leading to developers favouring it over
wind.
Going ahead, concrete prices are expected to correct after two years of consecutive fall while steel prices are expected to remain
flat in fiscal 2026. Despite this, Crisil Intelligence expects the bid tariffs to be range bound at Rs 3.6-3.9 per unit in fiscal 2026.
With this, wind is expected to remain on parity with fossils which combined with improvement in technology and government
support, will help the wind base to continue to increase.
204Tariff trends
The wind power industry in India has transitioned from a feed-in-tariff regime to a competitively bid regime. To help non-
windy states fulfil their renewable purchase obligation, MNRE apportions wind power capacity by way of reverse auction
where bidders compete by lowering the offered tariff creating a dynamic price discovery process.

To provide relief to wind developers, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had previously permitted the
extension of scheduled commercial operation dates for wind projects facing difficulties, subject to certain conditions and
adequate proof. The same extension may be granted owing to:
1. Any change in land policy in a state post bidding or any delay in handing over of land by the state as per policy
2. Modifications in land and building rules of Tamil Nadu (for projects with PPAs signed post July 2018)
3. Extension of 60 days post operationalisation of concomitant ISTS infrastructure
4. Delays in approval of request from the Ministry of Defense (MoD) beyond 60 days, subject to the condition that the
request to the MoD must have been applied within 30 days of effective date of the PPA
5. Extension of financial closure timelines in keeping with the extensions given to the final commercial operational date
6. Any other extension request sent by SECI to the MNRE
Apart from this, the MNRE had also granted a 2.5-month extension for renewable energy projects that had a scheduled
commissioning date on or after April 1, 2021, to 15th June 2021. In fiscal 2021, the ministry also provided a 5-month extension
in addition to its initial blanket extension of lockdown plus 30 days amid the Covid-19 lockdown. It had clarified that any delays
because of constraints related to the pandemic will be treated as force majeure.
Further, to provide relief to wind project developers on account of supply-chain disruptions, owing to the pandemic and
monsoon-related disruptions, the ministry had decided that for wind power projects, for which the PPA was signed and orders
for wind turbine generators were placed before June 2021, the implementing agencies can grant up to 3 months extension from
the scheduled commissioning date. However, the extension was to be considered by the MNRE after due diligence and scrutiny
of the specific circumstances of the case.
As the extension deadlines have now ended, Crisil Intelligence expects capacity addition to pick up pace over the next five
fiscals, along with the support of favourable policies by the MNRE. Cancellation rate has already reduced as developers are
more cautious with bidding of wind projects.
Capacity additions pick up in fiscal 2025
Capacity additions plummeted from the peak of fiscal 2017, mainly because of the abrupt phasing out of the feed-in tariff (FiT)
regime and implementation of the competitive bidding mechanism at the end of fiscal 2017. Moreover, halving the accelerated
depreciation benefit (from 80% in fiscal 2017 to 40% in fiscal 2018) and elimination of generation-based incentives of Rs 0.5
per unit had also reduced investments in the sector from non-independent power producers.
In February 2017, the government conducted the first reverse e-auction for wind power, which saw tariffs falling to Rs 3.46 per
unit, 17% lower than the lowest wind FiT of Rs 4.16 per unit in Tamil Nadu. With such a sharp drop in tariffs, several discoms
in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Karnataka expressed their unwillingness to buy power under the FiT regime even
for approved and under-construction projects as PPAs were not signed.
205Wind power tariffs then fell to Rs 2.5 per unit level, with tariffs as low as Rs 2.43 per unit in December 2017 in the Gujarat
wind auctions of 500 MW. However, tariffs have since reached a weighted average of Rs 3.4 and Rs 3.7 per unit in fiscal 2024
and 2025, respectively, a rise compared with those recorded in the previous years. The weighted average tariffs were Rs 2.89,
Rs 2.80 and Rs. 2.97 per unit in the fiscals 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Three central allocations concluded on fiscal 2025, two by SJVN and one by SECI. SJVN Wind Tranche-I and Tranche-II
recorded weighted average tariff of Rs 3.99 and 3.77 per unit respectively. The SECI auction under Wind Tranche-XVII with a
weighted average tariff of Rs 3.81 per unit in fiscal 2025. A sole state led allocation concluded by GUVNL under Tranche-VIII
witnessed weighted average tariff of Rs 3.59. Fiscal 2025 concluded with a weighted average tariff of Rs 3.7 per unit, still lower
than the Rs 4-5 per unit witnessed by the sector under FiT.
The sector continues to adjust to the significantly lower tariffs under competitive bidding as well as land availability and grid
connectivity challenges, where developers are facing issues from delayed/ congested infrastructure.
Wind capacity additions have been primarily concentrated in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka contributing 46%, 19% and
18% between fiscal 2019-2025 respectively.

State-wise wind energy consumption
Wind energy formed ~5% of average power consumption among top states
The wind energy consumption among top 10 states has increased 2% CAGR between fiscals 2019-2024. In fiscal 2024, wind power accounted for approximately 5% of the total electricity
consumption among major states in the country, which collectively represented around 63% of the nation's overall power consumption. Notably, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka led the
rankings, with wind energy meeting around 9% of their respective power demands. Rajasthan followed closely, with wind power accounting for 7% of its total power requirement. Meanwhile,
Gujarat and Maharashtra each derived 6% of their power from wind sources during the same fiscal year.

Source: Crisil Intelligence
Rising allocation of new business models such as RTC, peak power and plain hybrid will be the key drivers. That said, capacity
additions over the long term will be driven by increased hybrid tenders, storage and new business model-based tenders, and
central government allocations. The central government off-take route, via relatively strong off-takers such as SECI, will also
reduce risks, compared with direct exposure to state discoms. State allocation has already slowed as several states have instead
signed power sale agreements with PTC and SECI for procurement of wind power to fulfil their non-renewable purchase
obligation targets.
Improved financial health of DISCOMs
The power distribution sector has seen various reforms measures/ rules for improving financial viability of distribution utilities
(DISCOMs). Some of the key initiatives of Ministry of Power, for power distribution sector include Ujjwal DISCOM Assurance
Yojana (UDAY, 2015) which provided for gradual takeover of DISCOM’s debt by State Governments, Revamped Distribution
Sector Scheme (RDSS, 2021) which targets nationwide deployment of prepaid smart meters along with other performance
improvement measures, Electricity (Right of Consumers) Rules 2020, Electricity Late Payment Surcharge and Related Matters
(LPS Rules) 2022 etc.
The financial health of DISCOMs in India has shown improvement in the fiscal 2024, with 15 DISCOMs and 6 Power
Departments experiencing an upgrade in their grades compared to the previous year. This improvement is also reflected in the
scores, with 25 DISCOMs and 9 Power Departments demonstrating an "Improving" trend, characterised by a more than 5%
increase in scores from the previous year. Furthermore, the number of DISCOMs with a grade of C or lower has decreased from
21 in the 12th Ratings to 18 in the 13th Ratings, indicating a positive trend in the financial performance of these utilities.
GUVNL (Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited) is the major power distribution company in Gujarat and has shown significant
improvement in its operating parameters. It has 4 subsidiaries viz Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited (DGVCL), Madhya
Gujarat Vij Company Limited (MGVCL), Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), and Uttar Gujarat Vij Company
Limited (UGVCL). As per 13th Annual Integrated Report dated February 2025 by Ministry of pawer, GUVNL had an average
integrated score of 94 in fiscal 2024. All four subsidiaries had A+ ratings. The AT&C loss of GUVNL decreased from 10.67%
in fiscal 2023 to 9.12% in fiscal 2024, collection efficiency improved from 98.96% in fiscal 2023 to 99.06% in fiscal 2024 and
billing efficiency improved from 90.27% in fiscal 2023 to 91.75% in fiscal 2024.
Further, SECI also plays a vital role in achieving the government's renewable energy goals. Additionally, SECI holds a Category
I Trading License from CERC, enabling it to engage in power trading across India. SECI benefits from a robust financial
position, with surplus funds available, including free cash balances and a payment security fund cushion. The allocation of
encumbered cash balances for grants, subsidies, and viability gap funding ensures adequate liquidity. Moreover, SECI's healthy
cash flow and debt-free status contribute to a strong financial profile, which is further reinforced by the letter of credit
mechanism and tripartite agreement.

Policy initiatives taken by the government to boost wind capacity additions over the long-term
New tender opportunities, technology and exposure to central intermediaries are key drivers
1. Large scale allocations
After the competitive bidding of 1 GW by SECI in February 2017, SECI further allocated ~15.1 GW (excluding
cancelled contracts) over March 2017-March 2025 through wind-only tenders. MNRE has outlined plans to tender 10
GW of capacity each year, of which the majority portion should be expected from SECI/NTPC. This bodes well as
central sector PPAs have lower counterparty risk, compared with PPAs directly with state discoms. The latter are
known to delay payments to developers and have poor financial ratings, while SECI and NTPC are better rated and
provide various payment security mechanisms (LCs, payment security fund and SECI being party to the tripartite
agreement). SECI acts as the procurement intermediary between project developer and DISCOMs, offering payment
security to developers SECI helps to aggregate bids through a transparent e-bidding process followed by an e-reverse
auction, ensuring competitiveness in tariffs and encouraging innovation.

Similarly, NTPC and SJVN have also allocated ~12 GW and ~10 GW of standalone wind and hybrid capacities till
June 2025. The tariffs for standalone wind allocations across the two entities range Rs 2.8/unit to Rs 3.85/unit.
Similarly, the tariffs for hybrid allocations range Rs 3.67/unit to Rs 4.06/unit.
2. Revision in RPO targets
The Ministry of Power (MoP) has provided a new renewable purchase obligation (RPO) long-term trajectory for wind
energy till fiscal 2030, which proposes increasing the target for wind from 0.81% in fiscal 2023 to 6.94% in fiscal
2030. The target, however, needs to be met from wind plants commissioned after March 31, 2022, thus requiring
installation of new capacity.
To meet the increased targets, states would have to procure more RE either via the REC route (which still leads to
capacity additions) or competitively bid-out capacities. The waiver of ISTS charges by Central Electricity Regulation
Commission (CERC) for all projects set up until June 2025 also enabled the states with low renewable potential to
procure renewable power from more able states. However, RPO compliance is dependent on strict enforcement by
regulatory authorities.
3. Improved technology
Manufacturers are seen to innovate technology to solve the issue of land availability by manufacturing turbines with
higher hub height to get better PLF. This can also be seen from the evolution of wind turbines at the global level. The
world has evolved towards the solution of increasing hub heights and size of turbines, to maximise generation potential
at a location. It started with 0.05 MW turbines at a hub height of 26 m in 1980 and gradually moved to 10 MW capacity
turbines at a hub height of 245 m currently. India has followed similar suit by manufacturing turbine size of 0.05 MW
210capacity at 25-30 m hub height when it first started in 1986 and gradually followed the global trend where it recently
developed turbine of 5.2 MW capacity at hub height above 150 m. Hence, India is developing its technology, and the
turbine size and capacity is doubling almost every decade.
4. Repowering of wind assets: While the addition in the next five years is expected to be driven by an existing pipeline
of over 20 GW on account of new tendering. Concentration in wind sites already impacts the sector, wherein lies an
opportunity to improve the PLF by repowering old projects with latest technology which the Government is also
focusing on. With legacy projects of almost 32 GW installed under the feed-in tariff regime which may have PPAs
near expiry, almost 78% of such projects have turbine capacity of 2 MW or below and have the potential of repowering.
The states which have the highest potential to go for repowering include Tamil Nadu and Gujarat which account for
47% of such capacity. Hence, because of repowering of old plants, demand for better turbines will be boosted.
Additionally, decommissioned wind turbines also have the potential to offer a good salvage value, particularly for steel
components. This also provides economic benefits to the developer.

New business model structures (Hybrid, Peak Power, RTC, Firm Power)
Background of new business models in the renewable market
To improve the quality of power supplied to off-takers, nodal authorities are now issuing tenders for solar and wind projects
with enhanced features. These tenders aim to address the mismatch between renewable energy supply and demand needs. A key
characteristic of such tenders is combination of multiple renewable energy sources, aimed at increasing supply, with some
tenders mandating power supply during peak hours and the use of storage to ensure a stable supply.
While there are multiple combinations now issued in the market some key distinctive features are as follows:
1. Hybrid tenders- Plain hybrid tenders require simple blending of solar and wind resources to achieve higher PLFs
compared to standalone solar and wind plants and inject power for more hours during the day, compared to either
source on standalone basis.
2. Peak Power tenders- Peak power tenders demand injection of renewable energy during peak periods of power demand
during the day, typically two to four hours per day.
3. RTC tenders- Round the Clock (RTC) tenders are designed to enable injection of renewable power asking for higher
availability from the power sources.
4. FDRE tenders- Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) tenders require availability of firm and dispatchable
of renewable power with multiple requirements across availability, peak timing supply and / or following of a particular
load profile.
These new project structures improve synergy of the renewable energy sources and offer a PLF of 30-40%, higher than that
achieved in standalone solar and wind energy plants. Further, usage of storage also enables an efficient supply of generation.
211Summary of new project structures
Note: Weighted average tariff is average across all allocations.
Source: Crisil Intelligence
Over fiscal 2019-2025, nearly 48.4 GW of new project structures have been allocated. Nearly 62% of the allocations are focused
on plain hybrid. This is because to tackle the challenges of intermittencies and leverage synergies, mainstream hybrid allocations
began in fiscal 2019. Hybrid tenders require simple blending of solar and wind resources to achieve higher PLFs compared to
those achieved on standalone basis
Tariffs are higher in case of firm power allocations which began from fiscal 2024. Nearly 11 GW of firm power tenders have
been allocated till fiscal 2025, accounting for 23% of the total new project structure allocations. While the demand fulfilment
criteria vary even within the firm power model, the focus on meeting higher and consistent generation has remained constant.
The SECI driven firm power tenders mandated demand fulfilment across months while non-SECI focused on selectively hour
fulfilment ratio. This has resulted in a higher tariff range of Rs 4-5/kWh.
Typically, meeting the higher generation capacity requirements of these tenders will necessitate either the inclusion of storage
components or the installation of scaled up plants. This results in high capital cost.
Projects installed under these structures, will look to maximising their PLFs, using a combination of solar, wind, storage or all
three. Although solar, while cheap, has its own intermittency issues. Incorporation of wind or storage component can help
counter some of that, by providing generation during non-solar hours. Developers could prefer wind or storage component
when looking to mitigate solar intermittency.
The successful deployment of these models in the future offers a promising outlook. Moreover, advancements in technology,
particularly in storage, are likely to reduce costs even further in the long run, making implementation more viable.
Installation under new business models to gain traction in next five years
The sector is poised to witness a growth of capacity addition under new business models, including hybrid, RTC, peak power,
and firm power. Crisil Intelligence estimates 18-19 GW additions under these new models over the next five years, from fiscal
2026 to fiscal 2030.The growth is also expected to be supported by various state government policies in this space. For example,
Gujarat state government has introduced a policy for allotting government waste/non-hazardous land for the development of
Renewable Energy (RE) Parks, with the goal of setting up wind parks and wind-solar hybrid parks. The policy, which is active
from 2019 to 2029, offers incentives for a period of 40 years, including 10 years for development and 30 years for operation.
The policy allows for the development of parks with a capacity of 1,000 MW or more, with a total area sanctioned for 30,000
MW of renewable energy.

212Renewable energy tariff outlook
Solar energy
Solar power prices are majorly influenced by the price of solar modules. Solar tariffs saw a rapid decline over fiscals 2016-
2020, majorly due to declining module prices. Modules account for 50-55% of the capital cost of solar energy projects and
these module prices are impacted by the commodities used to manufacture them i.e. polysilicon. Polysilicon prices had increased
from approximately reached 38 USD/kg in August 2022 due to shortage of raw materials. However, since commissioning of
polysilicon capacities in 2023 in China, polysilicon prices have dropped to 4 USD/kg in June 2025 due to an oversupply in the
global market. Mono-crystalline module prices, declined significantly to USD 0.09/ Wp in June 2025 from USD 0.28 / Wp in
August 2022, due to high inventory levels. Falling component prices and easing supply chain pressure has resulted in falling
capital costs to Rs 32-37 million per MW. The solar tariffs have also fallen in line from Rs 2.7 / unit in fiscal 2023 to Rs 2.6 /
unit in fiscal 2025. The government also levied of BCD and the ALMM policy mandate on imported produce. Currently, most
parties in the ALMM are Indian manufacturers. Hence, after the imposition of ALMM, developers were compelled to procure
domestically produced solar modules, which are costlier than their global counterparts. Even during the abeyance period of
ALMM, the cost of solar module imports was high due to 40% BCD. Even though prices of solar cells and modules fluctuate
significantly, they are currently lower in China than in India. Currently, domestic manufacturers use imported cells for solar
module manufacturing. However, the government has proposed the imposition of ALMM on solar cells from April 2026, which
means the prices of domestic modules are expected to be higher than those using imported cells. However, with significant cell
capacity addition expected by fiscal 2027-28 the domestic module prices would remain below Rs 3.0 / unit. However, global
supply chain scenarios, technology advancements (introduction of TopCon, HJT cells with high efficiency), domestic
manufacturing capacity addition, infrastructure issues, land acquisition challenges, prices of commodities would be the key
monitorables over the medium term. The US investigated claims of involvement of forced labour in the production of China’s
Xinjiang province. It accounts for nearly 30-40% of global polysilicon production. It resulted in the US restricting imports from
China’s Xinjiang province over forced labour concerns and also forming strict traceability norms.
WSH projects
WSH projects have garnered significant interest in recent years, primarily driven by the increasing demand for reliable green
power from both corporate consumers and discoms. MNRE also notified the national Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy in 2018 with
an aim to reduce RE variability and improve grid stability. Additionally, various states including Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and
Rajasthan have formulated their own WSH policies. In August 2023, the MoP issued tariff based competitive bidding guidelines
for procurement of power from grid connected wind-solar hybrid projects. These guidelines are applicable to all upcoming
wind-solar hybrid power projects of 10 MW and above capacity for intra-state transmission, and 50 MW and above for inter-
state transmission, with or without energy storage. However, at least 33% of the total capacity must be from either wind or solar
resources. The revised guidelines include revised bid capacity limits, revised timelines, restrictions on power procurement and
penalties for delays. Some of the key advantages of hybrid projects include improved land and transmission infrastructure
utilisation, reduced generation variability and complimentary generation profiles. Standalone solar and wind projects exhibit
relatively low CUF. However, the amalgamation of these two technologies leads to a higher CUF, resulting in enhanced overall
efficiency of the hybrid plant. Moreover, the cost of co-located solar and wind projects is lower compared to that of their
respective standalone counterparts, making them economically attractive. Consequently, tenders conducted for such plain
hybrid projects have yielded competitive tariffs, with prices ranging from Rs 3.25 / unit between fiscal 2019 to 2025. These
factors collectively contribute to the growing allure and widespread adoption of WSH projects. Hybrid projects are well suited
for a time-of-day tariff regime wherein during the morning/evening peak hours additional tariff is charged and during night (off
peak) hours, rebate in tariff is provided. Since generation patterns of wind and solar are usually complementary, with wind
power generation picking up after sunset and reaching peak generation late night. Thereby, the hybrid project can generate more
revenue by selling power during evening peak hours when the tariff would be 10-20% higher than normal tariff.
Wind energy
Since wind prices are largely driven by commodity prices, they are expected to have an upward trajectory. Wind energy
development cost is governed by Nacelle (34%) and BOS (21%) cost structure components. Steel is the major commodity with
31% share in overall wind energy development followed by cast iron (10%) and copper (4%). Renewable energy sources are
expected to continue to be competitive compared to fossil fuels with improvement in technology, increased efficiency, and
government support. The Crisil estimated capital cost increased to Rs 75-80 million/MW in fiscal 2023 over Rs 68-70 million
in fiscal 2022 owing to rise in commodity prices, impacting project viability. However, with gradual cooling of global and
domestic commodity prices in fiscal 2025, capital cost is estimated to have fallen to Rs 65-70 million/MW. Currently the two
most prevalent choices of turbines available in the market are - 3 MW and 4 MW turbine with equipment and EPC. The prices
are expected to continue to stay elevated coupled with on-ground execution challenges. However, key commodity prices are
expected to stabilise. The availability of type I wind sites in suitable locations is a cause for concern. There are other sites across
states that would also be suitable for wind projects; however, they may be of lower wind density (Type 2 and 3 wind sites), may
not have adequate linked grid infrastructure, or may have a paucity of contiguous land parcels. But due to lower availability of
Type I wind sites in preferred locations along with congested transmission infrastructure has forced developers to move to type
II wind sites. To avoid lower CUF at these sites developers are opting for high hub height wind turbines. Hence going forward,
due to such reasons, the wind tariffs are expected to be in the range of Rs 3.6 – 3.9/unit to factor in the added execution
challenges.
213Outlook on cost of generation of multiple RE source vs cost of delivery
While the tariffs for ISTS connected plain vanilla solar and wind projects were observed between Rs 2.6/ unit and Rs 3.8/unit
in fiscal 2025, the tariffs for plain WSH projects were in the range of Rs 3.2-3.6/unit. The weighted average tariffs for new age
hybrid forms such as RTC, PPS and FDRE range between Rs 3.5-4.9/unit. Tariffs in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil
Nadu and Karnataka are marginally lower than in other states due to availability of resources. The average CUF of solar projects
can reach 25% or higher and for wind it could go upto 40% or higher in these regions.
O&M For wind sector in India
Evolution of O&M services in India
The LCOE of wind energy is significantly impacted by operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, prompting renewable energy
producers to implement strategies to reduce these expenses and enhance service reliability. The O&M costs encompass five key
categories: insurance, routine maintenance, repairs, spare parts, and administration, which tend to increase over time. However,
advancements in technology have led to the development of approaches to mitigate these costs.
Initially, the industry relied on reactive maintenance, which often resulted in downtime and costly overhauls due to late fault
detection. This approach led to higher service costs compared to early detection and repair. As the lifespan of generation plants
increases, the cost of major repairs also escalates. In response, O&M service providers now offer solutions that minimize major
repairs and replacements by adopting predictive maintenance techniques. Predictive maintenance involves collecting real-time
performance data to monitor the health of the unit, resulting in a significant reduction in maintenance costs - a 65-70% decrease
for onshore wind between 2010 and 2020, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Key components of wind turbine that require service include:
• Hydraulic Pitch
• Transformer
• Generators
• Gearbox
• Blades
• Grease oil and Lubricating Oil
• Electrical components
• Contactor/ Circuit Breaker/Relay
• Controls
• Safety
• Sensors
• Pumps/Motors
• Hub

Wind O&M services value chain and active players
O&M value chain for wind plants
The wind O&M value chain encompasses a series of critical steps, including lifetime assessment, mechanical testing, inspection,
and maintenance. Initially, the turbine's design and development phase involve assessing the harsh environmental conditions it
will face, ensuring compliance, safety, and rigorous testing and validation. Advanced mechanical testing and scanning
technologies can streamline quality control processes, reduce production costs, and expedite inspections. At the end of the
turbine's lifespan, responsible decommissioning and disposal are crucial, with careful dismantling and redistribution of
materials enabling the reuse of decommissioned turbines. To ensure long-term success, a proactive approach to maintenance
and inspection is essential, involving preventive maintenance, failure analysis, and minimizing downtime to optimize overall
performance.

Source: Crisil Intelligence
1. OEMs- Typically O&M services for wind turbine generation (WTG) units are procured alongside the equipment itself,
with contracts usually spanning 5 to 10 years with some offering 2 years of free O&M under warranty as part of
comprehensive annual maintenance packages. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are the primary providers of
these services, offering guarantees, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance that can be extended beyond the
initial contract period. Globally, OEMs are the preferred choice for O&M services (especially for WTGs) due to the
convenience of sourcing spare parts or replacement equipment directly from them, which is often easier than dealing with
third-party providers.
2. In-house capabilities- To optimise equipment performance, some large renewable energy developers have established in-
house O&M capabilities, enabling them to directly manage the upkeep of their installed machinery. By setting up their own
O&M units, these developers can exert greater control over operations, minimizing the risk of prolonged downtime and
shutdowns. Several major renewable energy players have already begun to maintain some of their capacity in-house,
leveraging the benefits of internalized O&M expertise. These renewable players extend their in-house capabilities to
external parties also.
3. Independent service providers- O&M services are also offered by third-party service providers. This is usually taken at the
time of warranty expiration of the Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) with the OEM or when the OEMs are not
preferred with the equipment acquisition due to financial constraints.
India is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the renewable energy sector, with wind power playing a pivotal role in this
transformation. As of June 2025, the country has already installed ~52 GW of wind energy capacity, and the growing fleet of
aging wind turbines may present a challenge in terms of maintenance and operation. When turbines are near the end of their
warranty periods, there is a rising demand for high-quality, affordable maintenance services, creating a lucrative opportunity
for Independent Service Providers (ISPs).
ISPs are specialised companies that offer maintenance and repair services for wind turbines independently of the original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Typically, some OEMs handle maintenance and servicing during the initial years of a wind
turbine's life, but once the warranty expires, usually after 5-10 years, wind farm owners may seek flexible and cost-effective
servicing options. This is where ISPs can provide competitive and technically efficient solutions, leveraging their expertise to
optimize turbine performance and reduce downtime.
In India, several key players are actively operating in the ISP space, including Inox Green Energy Services, which manages 3.5
GW of wind assets and achieved a machine availability of 96.3% in fiscal 2025. Another player is Suzlon Services, a division
of Suzlon Energy, which had an installed base of over 15 GW as of March 2025 and acquired Renom Energy Services, which
had an asset under management of approximately 3 GW as of March 2025.
215The growth of ISPs in India is driven by several key trends, including the aging of the country's wind turbine fleet, which
requires ongoing maintenance beyond the OEM warranty period. The Indian government's initiatives to encourage repowering
and replace outdated turbines with newer, more efficient models also present opportunities for ISPs with technical expertise.
Furthermore, the adoption of new technologies, such as drones for inspections, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for
predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring systems, is transforming the way turbines are maintained, enabling ISPs to
identify faults before they occur, reduce costs, and improve overall energy output.
Another significant development is the trend of large renewable energy developers building their own in-house operations and
maintenance teams. While this may reduce direct business for some ISPs, it also creates opportunities for collaboration, training,
and support services. These in-house teams may partner with ISPs for specialized work, spare parts, and remote diagnostics,
fostering a collaborative ecosystem.
Despite their rapid growth, ISPs in India also face several challenges, including a shortage of skilled manpower, particularly in
remote locations where wind farms are typically situated. Environmental conditions, such as extreme heat, dust, and wind in
regions like Rajasthan and Gujarat, also pose significant challenges, leading to faster wear and tearing on turbines. Delays in
spare part supply, especially for imported components, can result in extended turbine downtime and higher costs for wind farm
owners.
Looking ahead, the future of ISPs in India appears promising, with the country's installed wind energy capacity expected to
reach 70-80 GW by fiscal 2030, according to Crisil Intelligence’s estimates. As some of the existing turbines are near the end
of OEM warranties, there will be a demand for independent maintenance services. The introduction of new, high-capacity
turbines will also create a new segment of high-tech servicing needs, including drone inspections, autonomous maintenance
systems, and remote diagnostics. ISPs that invest in advanced technology, skilled manpower, and spare part localization will be
well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities. Ultimately, Independent Service Providers are poised to play a vital role in
India's wind energy journey, ensuring performance, reliability, and cost efficiency as the sector matures and scales. Companies
that adapt quickly, build strong capabilities, and deliver consistent results will shape the next chapter of wind energy operations
in India, driving growth and innovation in the renewable energy sector.
While wind turbines are often the focal point of attention, the Balance of Plant (BOP) infrastructure plays a crucial role in
ensuring that turbine-generated electricity is transmitted to the grid safely and efficiently. In the Indian context, BOP
encompasses all essential components of a wind project, excluding the turbine itself, including civil infrastructure, electrical
systems, mechanical erection tools, grid interconnections, and digital control systems.
BOP infrastructure accounts for 20-30% of the total cost of a wind energy project, making it a significant component of the
overall project expenditure. Key elements of BOP infrastructure include land, right of way, feeder, crane pad, hard stands, access
roads, turbine foundations, substations, transformers, internal cabling, high-voltage transmission lines, switchgear, SCADA and
automation systems, earthing and lightning protection, and remote operations systems. These systems work in tandem to enable
real-time monitoring, protection, and maintenance of the wind farm, supporting both onshore and offshore projects.
The expansion of hybrid (wind-solar) projects and upcoming offshore developments, such as the 4 GW Tamil Nadu tender,
have increased the demand for high-quality, scalable BOP solutions. These advanced projects require sophisticated civil and
grid designs, more complex SCADA systems, and integration with transmission networks under the Green Energy Corridor.
BOP works include civil, electrical, and mechanical components. Civil BOP works encompass access road construction, turbine
pad preparation, and the building of control rooms and site offices. Electrical works range from medium-voltage cabling to the
installation of substations, transformers, and interconnection with the central grid. Mechanical erection includes the use of high-
capacity cranes, torquing tools, and laser alignment systems for precise installation.
Several Indian companies, such as KP Energy Limited, Powerica Limited, RS Windtech, and Windapex Energy, WindPlus,
Kshema Power also deliver turnkey BOP services.
BOP work is concentrated in India's high-wind states, including Gujarat (Bhuj, Kutch, Dwarka), Tamil Nadu (Tirunelveli,
Coimbatore), Maharashtra (Satara, Beed), and Rajasthan (Jaisalmer), with emerging projects in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, with their vast renewable energy parks and robust wind corridors, are particularly active markets for
BOP contractors.
Costs vary depending on project size, terrain, and complexity. Transmission infrastructure (switchyards and lines) adds another
20% to 25%, with SCADA and automation systems contributing around 10%. Transportation, erection tools, and workforce
costs round out the rest.
The market dynamics are rapidly evolving, with India focusing on localisation of critical components under the "Make in India"
initiative, thereby reducing reliance on imported transformers, protection systems, and cabling. Government-backed tenders
now mandate hybrid and storage-ready projects, driving BOP diversification. The push toward digitized operations have made
SCADA, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance integral parts of BOP contracts.
216Despite growth, the BOP sector faces several challenges, including grid connectivity delays, land acquisition bottlenecks,
terrain-based construction risks, and high capital costs. However, with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)
aiming to auction at least 10 GW of wind power annually through fiscal 2028, the sector presents significant opportunities.
Modern trends like modular precast foundations, containerized substations, and offshore BOP adaptations are redefining how
wind energy infrastructure is planned and executed.
The combination of government support, technological advancements, localized supply chains, and digital O&M integration
ensures that India's BOP ecosystem will not only support domestic wind growth but may also serve emerging markets. In this
landscape, BOP is no longer just supportive—it is strategic, driving performance, scalability, and sustainability for the future
of India's wind energy mission.
Multi Model Spares
India's wind energy sector, with ~52 GW of installed capacity as of June 2025, is rapidly maturing, and with it, an opportunity
in the multi-model spares business has emerged. As the turbine fleet ages, particularly in states like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and
Maharashtra, the demand for compatible, cost-effective spare parts across different turbine models is growing sharply. This
shift is giving rise to an aftermarket ecosystem that caters to diverse turbine platforms, some of which are no longer supported
directly by their OEMs.
The multi-model spares business involves the supply, repair, refurbishment, and replacement of critical components such as
gearboxes, generators, blades, control panels, hydraulic pitch systems, yaw motors, and SCADA modules across various wind
turbine models. With wind farms operating on legacy turbines, which are either obsolete or have limited OEM service
availability, independent players can step in to meet the demand. These multi-model spares companies offer spare parts not just
for one manufacturer but for multiple turbine types, often across a wide range of vintages and capacities.
The demand surge is driven by several key factors:
1. Aging Turbine Fleet: Nearly 21 GW of India's wind fleet is at least 10 years old, creating an addressable market for
third-party spares and repairs.
2. Shift to Flexible Service Models: The market is witnessing a shift from traditional OEM-bound service models to
flexible and cost-efficient operations and maintenance frameworks, where independent service providers and spare
part vendors offer tailored solutions to wind asset owners.
3. Government Policy: Government policy, including Make in India and localization incentives, encourages domestic
production of key components like bearings, electronic boards, slip rings, and brake systems, reducing dependency on
imports, shortening lead times, and improving affordability for wind farm operators.
Several companies, such as NUTECH Wind Parts, Spare in Motion, Wind Cluster of Denmark, WECS Renewables, Mija Wind
Power – Denmark, Wind Sourcing - German, Pearce Renewables - United States, and Powerica Limited, operate through a
wide network of component suppliers and workshops in Europe & India, manufacturing alternators compatible with multiple
wind platforms.
India's spares manufacturing clusters in Coimbatore, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Noida are becoming vital hubs, supporting wind
farm operators. With OEMs focused on newer turbine models, these repair shops and independent vendors may provide a crucial
lifeline for older wind farms that still have years of productive life left.
Export of multi-model spares, particularly to countries using similar first-generation turbines, has become a secondary revenue
stream for many Indian firms.
Market dynamics are also evolving with technology. Predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, and SCADA integration
are transforming the way spare parts are used and managed. Wind farm operators increasingly rely on AI-driven analytics to
identify component wear before failure, allowing service providers to supply or repair specific parts just in time.
However, the sector is not without challenges. Maintaining quality across multiple turbine models demands high levels of
engineering expertise and testing capability. Intellectual property restrictions, lack of access to proprietary control software,
and rising cases of counterfeit parts present additional risks. Moreover, transport and logistics bottlenecks for large components
such as blades or hubs add cost and complexity, especially in remote wind farm locations.
Despite these challenges, India's multi-model wind spares business presents opportunities. With ongoing repowering initiatives,
hybrid projects, and offshore wind on the horizon, the need for flexible, compatible, and localized spare part solutions will only
increase. Firms that invest in localized production, responsive supply chains, skilled technical staff, and digital integration will
be best positioned to serve this evolving market. As wind energy transitions from growth to optimization, the multi-model
spares business will form a critical backbone of India's long-term renewable energy success.
217Review of wind O&M services market

218Crisil Intelligence expects the wind capacity addition to be in the range of 25-27 GW between fiscals 2026-2030. The growth
will be driven by hybrid capacity allocation along with existing standalone wind pipeline. As a result of this, the demand for
O&M services is expected to be in the range of Rs 83-88 billion in fiscal 2030, growing at a CAGR of ~11% between fiscals
2026-2030.
Key technological advancements in O&M
Predictive vs reactive maintenance
Critical components of wind turbines, such as nacelles, turbines, generators, hydraulics, and electronics, require continuous
monitoring to ensure seamless operation. Historically, maintenance was only performed when equipment failed or showed signs
of operational issues, resulting in prolonged shutdowns and reduced generator availability. In contrast, predictive maintenance
uses historical data to forecast component failures before they occur, addressing the drawbacks of reactive maintenance. By
adopting predictive maintenance, wind energy operators can reduce operational costs by minimizing equipment wear and tear,
leading to a significant decrease in replacements and major repairs over the years.
However, relying solely on historical data can lead to unnecessary maintenance costs, as some assets may be flagged for
maintenance despite being in good working condition. To mitigate this, an additional layer of technological intervention is
needed to analyse, prioritize, and segregate maintenance activities, thereby minimizing unnecessary expenses. Artificial
intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) can play a crucial role in achieving this, particularly in large power plants
with geographically dispersed assets. For instance, AI-powered predictive maintenance in solar parks can result in substantial
savings on inspection and maintenance planning, while also facilitating capacity planning and expansion. Similarly, in wind
energy, AI can forecast gearbox issues using vibration and temperature patterns and therefore predict the maintenance schedule
in advance leading to lesser probability of turbine getting damaged. Furthermore, in distribution networks, precise asset
mapping enables accurate identification and location of assets, streamlining maintenance and consumer addition processes.
Condition monitoring
Condition monitoring is a crucial component of predictive maintenance, enabling real-time monitoring of turbine and electrical
system health. By predicting potential maintenance issues, site operators can schedule repairs and replacements only when
necessary, avoiding unnecessary and costly up-tower maintenance. The primary goal of condition monitoring is to extend the
lifespan of components by continuously tracking their health and setting strict maintenance thresholds. Although damage
progression can be unpredictable, posing a risk of further damage to other drivetrain components, the system can provide
valuable insights into failure rates for up to 20 years, along with predictive simulations. This enables operators to reduce energy
costs significantly by minimizing major replacements and optimizing maintenance activities.
Impact of technology implementation
The wind energy sector is witnessing a rapid evolution of technology-driven solutions, with the adoption of AI-powered
predictive analytics being a notable example. These solutions can analyse vast amounts of real-time operational data, detect
underperformance, and identify potential failures using machine learning algorithms. One of the most advanced technological
implementations in the industry is the digital twin, a virtual replica of a physical asset that enables remote interaction and
monitoring by trained professionals. By leveraging digital twins, engineers can diagnose and troubleshoot issues remotely,
reducing the need for on-site personnel and minimizing effort. Additionally, emerging applications such as demand response
management, hybrid energy storage systems, and virtual power plants are being explored in the clean energy sector, driven by
the integration of new technologies. The application of machine learning and artificial intelligence can also uncover hidden
patterns, predict faults, and highlight critical variables that might otherwise go unnoticed, further optimizing the performance
and efficiency of wind energy systems.
Challenges
1. Dependence on OEMs- In India, the O&M service space is dominated by the OEM players resulting in delays in accessing
valuable data. This, along with spare parts unavailability, impacts power generation and revenues for plant owners. Some
of the players have also seen a few cases of financial trouble in the past on the OEM side. Thus, the industry is leaning
towards adoption of technologies to de-risk the operations. Further, the availability of spare parts is very specific to OEMs.
There is also the issue of forecasting and scheduling resulting in the additional deviation settlement charges to be borne by
the generator itself in case of unavailability of the system.
Moreover, countries leading in the wind energy race such as US have a very buoyant service market with a lot of
independent service providers providing services in addition to OEMs. This leads to higher competition among the service
providers. gives greater visibility, saves resources, and improves the accuracy of prediction. Therefore, for third-party
service providers (ISP) and Renewable Energy Developers (RED) in India, the cost of O&M services is expected to remain
high until they reach economies of scale and have better/efficient spare part availability.
2. Slow adoption of new technologies as compared to USA, China and Europe- The Indian wind energy sector is hindered by
the slow adoption of cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), which limits
its ability to capitalize on innovative solutions. However, this could change as ISPs and major developers increasingly enter
the O&M space, going beyond mere performance monitoring of machines. Currently, the standard practices in the country's
219wind capacities, such as SCADA, are not as advanced as AI and ML, and therefore require upgrading to minimize the risk
of equipment failure. The implementation of AI and ML is likely to gain momentum, enabling the sector to reap the benefits
of these innovations and improve overall efficiency. Hence, it is seen that India is developing its technology, and the turbine
size and capacity is doubling almost every decade. As the industry moves towards more advanced technologies, it is
expected to reduce risk exposure and enhance the reliability of wind energy operations, ultimately contributing to the
growth and development of the sector

Threats and challenges
Policy risk
While any adverse shift in government policies, including reductions in incentives or changes in energy regulations, may impact
revenue and profitability, the risk of a drastic regulatory overhaul remains low. This is supported by India’s COP commitments,
climate change goals, and continued government push for renewable energy. Notably, over the past five years, approximately
90 GW of RE capacity was added, compared to only ~18 GW of conventional capacity, indicating sustained policy support.
Land availability and geographical concentration
While 84% of wind capacity (fiscal 2025) is concentrated in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka owing
to high wind speed. Land availability is one of the biggest concerns for RE because on an average, renewables require more
land compared with fossils. The total land utilised for ground-mounted solar and wind projects was 4.5 lakh acres until fiscal
2025. As India moves towards achieving its 500 GW target by 2032, an additional 23 lakh acres of land parcel will be required.
Land availability a key monitorable for renewables
Source: Crisil Intelligence
Securing large, contiguous parcels of land remains a major challenge due to fragmented ownership and procedural delays.
Multistakeholder involvement often slows down project timelines. While the 40 GW solar park scheme is a positive step, timely
allocation and facilitation need to be ensured.
220Capital cost volatility arising from input prices
Renewable projects are highly susceptible to global commodity prices. The variation in prices can substantially hamper returns
when not hedged properly. Wind for example is highly susceptible to price changes for concrete and steel.
The main reason for the slowdown in wind capacity additions in the past fiscals was surging input prices, due to acceleration
in commodity prices. A typical wind project prices fluctuate with fluctuation in prices for requires concrete, steel, copper and
pig iron.
A typical wind project requires ~300-500 MT/MW of concrete for setting the foundation of wind towers.
Steel accounts for large portion of total turbine mass based on the technology employed.

Availability of funds for projects
Given the capital-intensive nature of RE projects, cost of capital plays an important role. In the past, high domestic interest
rates, lower re-payment tenure and inadequate and delayed capital subsidy increased the minimum tariffs required to achieve a
healthy internal rate of return (IRR).

The above graph shows the State Bank of India's (SBI) marginal cost lending rates (MCLR). Over fiscals 2019 and 2020,
interest rates were higher due to several macro factors at play. However, with no changes in interest rate by RBI from the second
quarter of fiscal 2021, the MCLR remained stable after a sharp decline. The low-interest rate regime reversed in fiscal 2023,
due to a gradual increase in repo rates by RBI to increasingly tackle inflation. In fiscal 2024, the rates remained in the range of
2218.5-8.65% with increase from 8.5% in November 2023 to 8.65% in December 2023. Rates rose to 8.85% in July and to 8.95%
in September 2024. Further upwards revision was observed in November, rising to 9.0%, where it remains as of March 2025.
Traditionally, domestic lenders while keen to invest in clean energy, assess risks associated to the segment. Past incidents of
renegotiation and delayed payments by counterparties had caused some concern among lenders. They also perceived risk due
to the aggressive bidding seen previously. However, over the past two fiscals, with a push from the government to achieve
nationwide clean energy targets and ESG-related targets for lenders themselves, traction has improved from domestic lenders,
including PSUs, in funding to the segment.
In addition, even foreign fund raising has seen some impact with a rising interest rate regime limiting appetite for Indian green
bonds at 4-6% coupon rates. This is also impacted by:
A weaker rupee has also led to higher hedging costs adding cost pressure to any ECB or green bond issuance.
Frequent policy changes and lack of clarity would also lead to hesitance among global investors to enter / fund the sector as
previously. This is highly detrimental to the growth of the sector which requires significant equity over the coming years to
continue supporting additions.
Renewable developers should ensure to access a broader spectrum of cheaper financing options in addition to prudent capital
management to sustain over the long term. However, at present fund availability may be a concern for few projects where
viability is sub-par or those facing project implementation.
Availability of transmission infrastructure
Large-scale, grid-connected renewable plants are usually located in far-flung areas devoid of transmission infrastructure. Thus,
robust transmission planning to optimize costs, utilization levels and losses associated with transmission system, to transmit
the power generated from the renewable plants to load centres (cities and industrial areas) is critical.
The industry had been raising concerns regarding connectivity for renewable projects. Taking the same into consideration, nodal
agencies (PGCIL, SECI) have planned various schemes to alleviate grid congestion and improve connectivity to RE projects.
Schemes such as Green Energy Corridor (GEC) and Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) were launched.
The GEC Phase-I was aimed at developing specific evacuation corridors for renewable energy in key renewable rich states.
Government has planned to integrate renewable energy into the national grid by setting up inter-state and intra-state schemes
for evacuation of power from wind and solar projects, termed as 'green energy corridors'. The interstate component of the
scheme was completed in March 2020 while the intra-state level is near completion. A total of 9,135 ckm of transmission lines
have been constructed under the intra state scheme as of June 2024 (as per last available information). While, the GEC Phase-
II, approved in March 2022, aims to integrate ~19 GW of renewable energy.
However, grid stability and maintenance charges are going to be a key risk going forward for renewable energy projects. As of
March 2025, total installed renewable energy capacity was ~172 GW (comprising solar, wind, bio energy and small hydro) out
of total ~475 GW power generation capacity in India. However, based on the units supplied, renewable energy's share amounts
to only ~15% of total power supplied in fiscal 2025. Its share is expected to rise to 25-30% in generation by fiscal 2030. This
may result in grid instability due to variable nature of generation of power from renewable energy sources. Hence, renewable
generation may have to be backed down to maintain grid stability.
To address the issue of grid variability, the government has started taking measures such as planning and deploying electricity
generation reserves; augmenting transmission infrastructure; creating technical standards and regulations for renewable energy
generators; introducing features such as low-voltage ride through (LVRT) and high-voltage ride through (HVRT); setting
frequency thresholds for disconnection from the grid; and finalising regulations for active and reactive power generation.
Further, the government is planning ancillary services to support electricity grids. These services, regulations and charges will
be partly shared between generators as their direct costs and by consumers as pass-through costs.
Moreover, under/over injection of power beyond the limits of forecasted schedule will attract penalties, which will hike grid
maintenance charges. Most states have released Forecasting and Scheduling Regulations. This adds to operating costs for
developers.
CERC (Sharing of Inter-state transmission and losses) Regulations, 2020 allows waiver off inter- state transmission charges
(ISTS charges) for renewable energy capacities installed by 30 June 2025. However, renewable capacities commissioned after
30 June 2025 will be subject to ISTS charges which might put them in a disadvantageous position with regards their participation
through open access route. However, the treatment of ISTS charges (INR 0.40-0.60 per kwh at present) to be levied on power
purchased through exchanges from projects commissioned post June 30, 2025, is not clear and guidelines from CERC will be
a key monitorable.
Additionally, the state governments are also taking major steps to improve transmission infrastructure availability in India. For
example, Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO) has taken various proactive measures to boost renewable
energy connectivity in the state. GETCO is first State Transmission Utility (STU) to install 220 kV ±125 MVAR STATCOM at
its 220 kV Timbdi substation for quality and reliable power, introduced 765 kV system for bulk power transmission, deployed
222of the world’s largest WAMS project in terms of PMUs reporting at a single control room and monitoring the population of
transmission elements. In the coming years, GETCO has planned to invest Rs. 1 Lakh Crore up to fiscal 2030 to upgrade and
expand the transmission infrastructure in Gujarat.
RPO Enforcement and Compliance
Compliance with Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) remains uneven across states, with limited enforcement for discoms,
open access, and captive users. Uniform application of penalties and strict monitoring will be crucial for improving RPO
compliance and ensuring a level playing field
Cost Volatility and EPC Margins
Renewable players are experiencing cost pressures due to fluctuations in module prices, commodity rates, exchange rates, and
freight charges. These variables affect project costs and may compress EPC margins, especially when fixed-price contracts
restrict cost pass-through to project SPVs.
Market Competition and External Factors
Intense competition, both from established and new players, poses challenges to market share and pricing. Additionally, external
risks such as extreme weather events and climate change can disrupt project operations. Economic downturns may also reduce
funding availability and increase the cost of capital, thereby slowing RE capacity expansion.
Competition of wind energy with other renewables
Renewables benefit from record-high crude oil and petroleum product prices in 2008, as well as continued advancements in
wind turbine technology, which have driven down the cost per kilowatt hour of wind-generated power. However, a decline in
global prices for oil, gas, coal, other petroleum products or solar modules could make alternative sources of energy more
attractive and reduce demand for wind farms. In particular, the local manufacturing of solar modules on a large scale has driven
down the cost of solar power, making it increasingly cost-competitive and sometimes preferred over wind
Operational constraints
As more turbines are installed close to each other, the wind flow reaching downstream turbines may be disrupted by upstream
units, leading to what is known as the ‘wake effect’. This effect results in turbulence and reduced wind speeds for turbines
located behind others, which can cause a measurable decline in energy generation.
PLAYER PROFILES
Some of the key players operating in the renewable energy sector are NTPC Green Energy (5,902 MW operational solar and
wind as of 2025), Adani Green Energy Limited (14,243 MW of contracted operational solar and wind as of fiscal 2025), Acme
Solar Holding Limited (2,705 MW operational solar as of fiscal 2025). These players also have a sizeable quantum of capacity
under consideration/development.

226While the other companies are primarily focused on Independent Power Producer (IPP) activities, Powerica Limited operates
as both an IPP and as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) segment.
The Company was one of the winners in SECI’s 1,350 MW Wind Tranche XVI, winning a 50 MW wind energy project at a
tariff of Rs 3.70 per unit. The tender included projects in Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan.
They also won a 50 MW wind power project in SECI's 500 MW auction ISTS wind power projects (Tranche-XVII), where they
secured it at a tariff of Rs 3.81 per unit.
In all, the company has an under-construction IPP pipeline of 104 MW, comprising two projects, which will take the total
generation capacity of 383.55 MW.
The weighted average PLF for the operational fleet is in the range of 26% to 28.5% yearly. The average plant availability of
98.60% to 98.84% between fiscal 2023 to 2025.
Powerica Limited has a 586 MW wind Balance of Plant (BOP) pipeline under work in progress for other IPPs. Additionally,
the company is developing land suitable for 50 MW and 150 MW solar projects at Khambaliya, Gujarat and Beed, Maharashtra
respectively.
Furthermore, as part of its EPC activity, Powerica Limited is developing a 7.2 km, 400 kV transmission line and a 220/400 kV
substation for third-party clients.
The wind energy segment is expected to add 25-30 GW of additions between fiscal 2026-2030, which is ~2 times the additions
between fiscal 2021-2025. As of June 2025, at least a quarter of the pipeline is expected to be in the southern and western
regions, due to the presence of high tier-I sites. Powerica Limited’s major operations are also in the same regions.

STRENGTHS
Established Position in the Generator Set Market
We have been engaged in the business of DG sets, since our incorporation in 1984. We are present across a wide suite of DG
sets across LHP, MHP and HHP, with capacities ranging from 7.5 kVA to 3,750 kVA. We conduct our DG set business by way
of manufacturing, marketing and supply, installation, testing and commissioning (“SITC”) of the sets and also undertake the
related on-site works. We are one of the OEMs for Cummins and have maintained a relationship with them for over four decades.
In order to widen our offerings in the Generator Sets Business, we expanded into the MSLG business in 1996. As part of the
MSLG business offerings, we currently provide pre-purchase consultancy, design and engineering, sale, and O&M services
integrated with Hyundai-made MSLG sets, with capacities ranging from 3,000 kVA to 10,000 kVA single unit which can be
configured in multiples for parallel operation at base load power stations. With this, our generator set product capacity now
ranges from 7.5 kVA to 10,000 kVA.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we own and operate three manufacturing facilities for our DG sets business
located at Bengaluru in Karnataka, Silvassa in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Khopoli in Maharashtra. Through our captive
approach to manufacturing, we aim to optimise our product inventory to meet customer requirements, maintain quality
assurance standards, and control our supply chain costs and timelines. This approach also aids in providing faster responses to
changing consumer requirements, enabling improvements in time-to-market of newer products.
Our DG set customers operate across diverse sectors, including commercial (hospitality, healthcare, banking and financial
services industry – banks, education, residential and other real estate), infrastructure (retail infrastructure, logistics, railways
and metros), manufacturing (industrial, process industries, dairy), agriculture (including cold storage and aquaculture),
information technology/data centres, government and defense, and rentals. We have also been able to generate repeat business
from our clients, which not only illustrates customer satisfaction, but also healthy customer relationships.
Despite ongoing improvements in grid reliability, power disruptions remain a persistent concern across several regions in India
(Source: F&S Report) This has led to increased adoption of DG sets, uninterruptible power supply (“UPS”) systems, inverters,
and battery storage solutions across diverse sectors such as commercial, manufacturing, information technology and data
centres, telecom, and infrastructure. (Source: F&S Report)
233DG sets have long been the backbone of India’s standby power market, maintaining a strong position due to their proven
reliability, rapid response times , ability to operate in diverse and demanding environments. (Source: F&S Report). While there
is growing focus on sustainability, diesel-based solutions remain the preferred choice for critical applications across industries
such as commercial, manufacturing, infrastructure technology and data centres, telecom, and infrastructure (Source: F&S
Report). Their robustness and widespread availability ensure continued demand, especially in areas with inconsistent grid
supply or high-power reliability requirements (Source: F&S Report).
India’s push towards data localisation, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the rollout of 5G, is fuelling demand for
hyperscale and edge data centres, all of which require high-reliability backup systems such as DG sets, UPS, and battery banks
(Source: F&S Report). India’s data centre power capacity increased from 0.919 GW in Fiscal 2024 to 1.337 GW in Fiscal 2025
and is projected to reach 3.395 GW by Fiscal 2030, representing a strong CAGR of approximately 20.5% between Fiscals 2025
and 2030 (Source: F&S Report). The rapid expansion of data centres is driving a substantial increase in demand for standby
power solutions as resilient and scalable power infrastructure is critical to ensure uninterrupted operations and uptime. (Source:
F&S Report) The expansion of data centres in urban hubs like Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru fuels the need for

We have an integrated and disciplined approach to developing wind power projects, with capabilities and in-house resources to
implement a project from the stage of WRA to commissioning. We mitigate operating risks through a structured and well-
established project development and selection process. In order to avoid delays and bottlenecks that commonly affect project
execution timelines and power evacuation capabilities, we aim at identifying and addressing potential challenges at the inception
stage of project planning. Our approach includes a detailed analysis of long-term wind resource data obtained from multiple
on-site wind masts to ensure generation reliability. As more turbines are installed close to each other, the wind flow reaching
downstream turbines may be disrupted by upstream units, leading to what is known as the ‘wake effect’. (Source: CRISIL
Report) This effect results in turbulence and reduced wind speeds for turbines located behind others, which can cause a
235measurable decline in energy generation. (Source: CRISIL Report) We conduct external and internal micro siting studies, along
with meticulous project layout planning, to minimize the negative impact due to the ‘wake effect’ and optimize energy output.
These steps have enabled us to ensure timely commissioning of projects, optimize asset utilization, and enhance overall project
feasibility.
Our trained and technically proficient workforce complements our manufacturing facilities and engineering capabilities. As of
March 31, 2025, our manufacturing, projects, design and engineering team of our generator set business consisted of 455
personnel and the operations, technical, project development and site management team of our Wind Power Business consisted
of 126 personnel. We conduct recurrent training for engineers and technical team. For split of our employees by separate
functions of our team, see “— Human Resources” on page 257.
Large and Diversified Customer Base
We have a large and diversified customer base in India. Our DG set customers operate across diverse sectors, including

Over the years, we have leveraged our experience of being a supplier of DG sets to provide turnkey and customized solutions
to develop customized products for our customers leading to mutually beneficial relationships with them. We have also been
able to generate repeat business from our clients, which not only illustrates customer satisfaction, but also healthy customer
relationships.
For our IPP Wind Power Business, our customer base comprises government-owned distribution utility companies, with whom
we have entered into long-term PPAs. This provides strong visibility on stable cash flows. Our principal offtake customers
include state electricity boards such as GUVNL and the SECI, which acts as an intermediary power procurer. Of our 11
Operational Wind Power Projects with a combined installed capacity of 279.55 MW, 10 projects with an aggregate installed
capacity of 228.25 MW have PPAs with GUVNL. One project, the 51.30 MW Khambhaliya Wind Farm SECI – VI project in
Gujarat has a PPA with SECI. These projects benefit from agreements with financially strong and highly rated counterparties,
resulting in predictable cash flows and low outstanding receivables.
GUVNL, rated “AA” by CARE, is one of India’s highly rated state electricity distribution companies. GUVNL has consistently
made timely payments relating to our 10 Operational Wind Power Projects that have PPAs with them. This payment reliability
helps minimise receivable risk, supports positive cash flow, and contributes to the financial health of our Operational Wind
Power Projects portfolio. Long-term, fixed-tariff PPAs enable us to secure predictable and sustainable revenue streams
throughout the project lifecycle. This stability improves our ability to manage working capital, enhances project returns, and
supports optimised financial planning. Consequently, we actively seek to participate in further renewable energy projects in
Gujarat when commercially viable opportunities arise. The predictable payment discipline and strong financial standing of
GUVNL make Gujarat an attractive market for expanding our Wind Power Business.
Meanwhile SECI, a central nodal agency under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (“MNRE”), is rated “AAA” by
ICRA. (Source: CRISIL Report) SECI has also demonstrated consistent payment reliability for our 51.30 MW Khambhaliya
Wind Farm SECI – VI project in Gujarat. Additionally, for our Under Construction Wind Power Projects, in Manza, Gujarat –
Orchid Phase I (51.3 MW wind power project) and Orchid Phase II (52.7 MW wind power project), we were awarded capacity
through tariff-based competitive auctions conducted by SECI. We have executed the PPA with SECI for Orchid Phase I in June
2024 and for Orchid Phase II in February 2025.
236As a result of our longstanding relationships with high-quality counterparties such as GUVNL and SECI, as well as supportive
regulatory frameworks for renewable projects supplying to state distribution companies and intermediary power procurers, our
receivable cycles have historically remained short and consistent. For our current Operational Wind Power Projects, receivables
are typically realised within 20 days, reflecting our collection efficiency and low credit risk.
Our trusted track record with GUVNL and SECI has enabled us to consistently maintain a strong pipeline of projects and a
healthy orderbook in the region. These reliable relationships underpin stable cash flows across our projects and facilitate long-
term business growth, directly supporting our strategy for ongoing expansion in the renewable energy sector.
Serving customers across multiple industries further reduces dependence on any single sector, thereby minimising the impact
of market fluctuations and mitigating risks arising from industry-specific downturns or disruptions. This diversified customer
base also provides access to new markets and additional growth opportunities, while enhancing our market credibility by
demonstrating our ability to meet varied customer requirements. In particular, our long-term relationships with customers in the
Wind Power Business, supported by long-term PPAs at fixed tariffs, contribute to predictable and stable cash flows throughout
the lifecycle of our projects.

of Operations for the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023” on page 396. This approach enables us to optimise both stability and growth.
Our Generator Set Business offers significant potential for growth, supported by expanding demand for robust and efficient
power solutions, particularly across high-growth sectors such as data centres. A broad-based expansion in power demand
underscores the growing importance of resilient power backup systems including diesel generator sets as critical enablers of
uninterrupted operations across both traditional and emerging sectors. (Source: F&S Report) The rising peak demand also
points to increased pressure on grid infrastructure, reinforcing the case for localized backup solutions, particularly in power-
intensive sectors like IT, EV, and telecom. India’s DG industry is deeply interlinked with the country’s industrialization, urban
expansion, and digital infrastructure development. (Source: F&S Report) We believe the industry is poised for growth reflective
of and increased market demand through positive economic and sectoral drivers Notably, India’s data centre power capacity
increased from 0.919 GW in Fiscal 2024 to 1.337 GW in Fiscal 2025 and is projected to reach 3.395 GW by Fiscal 2030,
representing a strong CAGR of approximately 20.5% between Fiscals 2025 and 2030 (Source: F&S Report). In addition, the
government and defence sectors in India are expected to remain key contributors to diesel generator demand growth, anchored
by critical infrastructure resilience requirements and reinforced through sustained public investment. (Source: F&S Report) A
growing emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure, combined with the ongoing electrification and digitalization of public
services and defence operations, is expected to drive DG demand in these sectors at an estimated 6–8% annual growth rate
through 2030, potentially increasing dedicated capacity to ~3–3.5 GW by the end of the decade. (Source: F&S Report)
237Our steady cash flow generation and balanced net debt position allow us to leverage our balance sheet conservatively to support
growth, while maintaining a consistent financial profile. For further details of the terms and conditions of our borrowing
arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 381.

STRATEGIES
Capitalize on Continued Demand for Generator Sets
We believe that anticipated economic growth, infrastructure development, lack of stable power supply, energy deficits, growing
demand for backup power, and inadequate power infrastructure may continue to lead to greater demand for generator sets in
India. The demand for DGs remains critical in urban regions due to the high-risk implications of power outages. (Source: F&S
Report) Urban infrastructure, including hospitals, commercial hubs, data centres, and high-density residential complexes,
cannot afford disruptions. (Source: F&S Report) Even short outages can lead to significant operational, financial, and safety
risks, making reliable backup power solutions like DGs a necessity rather than a choice. (Source: F&S Report)
Standby power remains a vital part of India’s energy infrastructure, helping ensure operational continuity during power outages
or voltage fluctuations. Ongoing urbanisation, population growth, and expansion of residential, commercial, industrial, and
infrastructure projects have intensified the need for reliable backup power across the country. Despite ongoing improvements
in grid reliability, power disruptions remain a persistent concern across several regions in India (Source: F&S Report). This has
led to increased adoption of DG sets, UPS systems, inverters, and battery storage solutions across diverse sectors such as
commercial, manufacturing, information technology and data centres, telecom, and infrastructure. (Source: F&S Report)
The rapid growth of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging infrastructure represents a significant new opportunity for the standby
power segment, particularly for DG sets. (Source: F&S Report) The public EV charging network is projected to expand from
approximately 20,000 stations with about 75,000 chargers today to as many as 100,000 to 150,000 stations with roughly 375,000
chargers by 2030. (Source: F&S Report) As a result, peak power demand at these locations is expected to reach around 10.8
GW by Fiscal 2030. (Source: F&S Report) This increase, driven by a higher proportion of DC fast chargers in urban centres
and along highways, will place additional pressure on local power grids and increase the risk of outages at critical
high‑throughput hubs. (Source: F&S Report) To ensure service reliability and fulfil uptime requirements, operators are expected
to increase deployment of standby DG sets, supported by battery storage and solar-hybrid systems where feasible. Consequently,
as the EV charging network expands, demand for dependable, scalable backup power, particularly DG sets will remain strong
given their proven effectiveness and immediate availability.
We expect that the growing demand for electricity in India will lead to increased requirement for higher-capacity MSLGs. In
Fiscal 2025, the country’s electricity consumption reached 1,650 TWh, with peak demand recorded at 260 GW. (Source: F&S
Report) This trend is driven by ongoing industrial growth, rapid urbanisation, and cooling needs. (Source: F&S Report)
Persistent grid instability in regions such as Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra with outages necessitates diesel-based
MSLG and emergency DG sets for standby power. (Source: F&S Report) MSLGs are distinguished by their ability to offer high
output, fuel efficiency, long runtimes, and durability, making them the preferred choice wherever sustained power and
emergency reliability are essential. (Source: F&S Report) They provide backup for gas processing at LNG terminals, serves as
emergency power to prevent losses in refineries, back up critical safety systems in nuclear power plants, and deliver outage
protection for steel and heavy industries. (Source: F&S Report) Additionally, MSLGs are vital in supporting digital
infrastructure in smart cities and data centres, while also serving as emergency power sources for rural electrification in remote
areas. (Source: F&S Report)
The demand for diesel-powered MSLGs, typically ranging from 3 MW to 10 MW and above, continues to rise in heavy
industrial and infrastructure sectors. (Source: F&S Report) These generators are indispensable in applications where loss of
grid power could cause serious safety, financial, or operational impacts. (Source: F&S Report) Few global OEMs dominate the
Indian market for MSLGs (500–1,000 RPM, 1–10 MW), known for their robust design, high reliability, and compliance with
emission standards. (Source: F&S Report) We have emerged as a prominent player in India by offering a comprehensive range
of turnkey solutions, supported by a strong service network and fuel-flexible offerings. (Source: F&S Report)
We believe all these factors will lead to an increase in the demand for generator sets. Our Generator Sets Business would be
ideally placed to cater to such demand for reliable and consistent back-up power. Furthermore, our generator sets can also serve
as primary sources of power in remote or outdoor locations that are not connected or have limited access to the electricity grid,
such as construction sites, railways, mining, quarrying and oil and gas operations. With years of experience and strong
relationships with industry players, we are well poised to cater to the growing demand of generator sets.
239Continue to Develop our Wind Power Business and diversify further into wind solar hybrid projects
India has vast wind energy potential of 1,164 GW at 150 metres above ground level, according to the National Institute of Wind
Energy. (Source: CRISIL Report) This potential is primarily concentrated in Rajasthan (24%), Gujarat (16%), Maharashtra
(15%), Karnataka (15%), and Andhra Pradesh (11%). (Source: CRISIL Report) The high wind speeds at 150 m significantly
increase the feasibility of large-scale wind projects compared to lower hub heights. (Source: CRISIL Report) As turbine
technology continues to evolve, more areas across the country could become viable for harnessing wind energy. (Source:
CRISIL Report) In addition, India’s extensive coastline and open terrain support opportunities for further expansion in both
onshore and offshore wind energy. (Source: CRISIL Report)
Between fiscals 2026-2030, India is projected to witness the addition of 140-160 GW of solar and 25-27 GW of wind additions,
marking a significant acceleration in renewable energy deployment. (Source: CRISIL Report) This capacity build out is nearly
2 times the aggregate additions recorded during the fiscals 2019-2025, underscoring a strong policy push and growing investor
interest in the sector. (Source: CRISIL Report) SECI has allocated approximately 15.1 GW of wind projects (excluding
cancelled contracts) through wind-only tenders between March 2017 and March 2025, following an initial 1 GW allocation in
February 2017. (Source: CRISIL Report) MNRE intends to tender 10 GW of new wind capacity annually, predominantly
through SECI and NTPC. (Source: CRISIL Report) The Ministry of Power’s updated renewable purchase obligation long-term
trajectory for wind energy aims to increase the wind target from 0.81% in Fiscal 2023 to 6.94% in Fiscal 2030, with the
requirement that these targets be satisfied through new wind projects commissioned after March 31, 2022. (Source: CRISIL
Report)
The robust capacity expansion in renewable energy in India is expected to be driven by demand and supply led growth drivers.
(Source: CRISIL Report) The development of renewable energy parks under the scheme for “Development of Solar Parks and
Ultra-Mega Renewable Energy Power Projects” rolled out in December 2014 have helped overcome higher project cost per
MW and higher transmission losses. (Source: CRISIL Report) As of January 2025, 41 GW of capacity parks were envisaged
across 13 states with Gujarat and Rajasthan accounting for 30% and 28%, respectively. (Source: CRISIL Report) Another
contributor is the government’s decision to invite bids for 50 GW of renewable energy capacity annually for five years i.e.
fiscals 2024-2028. (Source: CRISIL Report) Furthermore, the renewable purchase obligation, which is a regulatory requirement
set by the state electricity regulatory commissions, mandates that obligated entities procure a minimum percentage of their total
energy consumption from renewable sources. (Source: CRISIL Report) We believe these sustained drivers, rising environmental
awareness, policy support, and the transition away from conventional energy, create a significant opportunity for us to expand
our Wind Power Business. The project pipeline in our Wind Power Business for the coming years, both as an IPP and in BoP
EPC, highlights our momentum and capability to capitalise on the sector’s growth.

Business – Wind Power – Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (“EPC”) and Operations & Maintenance (“O&M”)
for Balance of Plant (“BoP”) Business” on page 252.
Building on our experience in executing wind power projects, we aim to capitalize on opportunities from central and state
government agencies and public utilities through strategic bidding. Our focus on prudent bidding and financial discipline
enables us to achieve targeted internal rates of return, driving sustainable growth. To maintain this momentum and meet our
return expectations, we will continue to deploy a focussed approach, underpinned by thorough due diligence and data-driven
analysis of potential projects. This disciplined strategy would allow us to navigate the market effectively and optimize returns.
We intend to use economies of scale to continue to negotiate better prices of the turbines as well as supply of material and
equipment for the BoP and operations and maintenance terms from our vendors. We also seek to enhance our project execution
capabilities to control cost of BoP and optimize the output of projects. At the project execution stage with multiple projects, we
expect to reduce cost of manpower, infrastructure and resources.
Through the years, the capital cost of wind power (Rs. million per kWh) has become competitive compared to other
conventional sources of power due to economies of scale and the large manufacturing capacity for wind turbine generators in
India. (Source: CRISIL Report) With demand for wind-solar hybrid (“WSH”) projects on the rise, driven by corporate buyers
and discoms seeking reliable green power, MNRE introduced the National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy in 2018 to promote better
grid stability and reduce renewable energy variability. (Source: CRISIL Report) Several states, including Gujarat, Andhra
Pradesh, and Rajasthan, have also implemented their own WSH policies. (Source: CRISIL Report) We plan to add solar capacity
to our existing wind projects to develop WSH assets. This will allow us to reduce the levelized cost of electricity (“LCOE”) by
utilizing shared evacuation infrastructure, thereby lowering transmission costs per kWh.
Further, we intend to continue to develop O&M capabilities for the BoP and improve our performance monitoring capabilities
for turbines with predictive and proactive maintenance to enhance the lifespan of a turbine. We aim to strengthen our O&M
capabilities through strategic technology upgrades, with a focus on enhancing efficiency and asset reliability. By leveraging
advanced real-time, monitoring systems and expanding our data analytics capabilities, we plan to optimize equipment
performance and enable predictive maintenance. These initiatives will support our operations teams in proactively managing
asset health, minimizing downtime, and maximizing generation. We also intend to digitize key processes and integrate these
technologies into our in-house O&M functions to improve responsiveness and operational control. This technology-driven
approach will enable us to benchmark performance, anticipate issues, and maintain high operational standards across our
renewable energy portfolio.
Looking ahead, the future of independent service providers in India appears promising, with the country’s installed wind energy
capacity expected to reach 70-80 GW by fiscal 2030, according to Crisil Intelligence’s estimates. As some of the existing
turbines are near the end of OEM warranties, there will be a demand for independent maintenance services. (Source: CRISIL
Report) The introduction of new, high-capacity turbines will also create a new segment of high-tech servicing needs, including
drone inspections, autonomous maintenance systems, and remote diagnostics. (Source: CRISIL Report) Independent service
providers that invest in advanced technology, skilled manpower, and spare part localization will be well-positioned to capitalize
on these opportunities. (Source: CRISIL Report) Ultimately, independent service providers are poised to play a vital role in
India’s wind energy journey, ensuring performance, reliability, and cost efficiency as the sector matures and scales. (Source:
CRISIL Report) Companies that adapt quickly, build strong capabilities, and deliver consistent results will shape the next
chapter of wind energy operations in India, driving growth and innovation in the renewable energy sector. (Source: CRISIL
Report) Recognizing this opportunity in the Indian market, and leveraging our extensive sales and distribution network, in 2024,
we signed a framework agreement with Vestas for the supply of multi-model spare parts in India. This agreement covers spare
parts suitable for WTGs manufactured by OEMs other than Vestas, for the Indian market, allowing us to strengthen our position
in the Indian aftermarket for WTGs spare parts.
241Continue to Develop our Allied Businesses and RECD Business through our Associate
We aim to leverage our experience and relationships to strengthen our position in the allied and RECD businesses, expanding
our service offerings to capitalise on growing market opportunities.
We are committed to expanding both our manufacturing facilities and our presence in the defence sector by supplying high-
quality EMI-enabled shelters and containers for specialised applications. With comprehensive in-house capabilities, including
design, prototype manufacturing, production, and approvals from the Defence Research and Development Organization
(“DRDO”) and other testing organisations, we have successfully delivered custom orders for EMI shelters and DG sets in Fiscal

Recognising the increasing demand for environmentally sustainable technologies and stricter regulatory requirements, our
Associate, Platino Automotive, has directed investment towards the development and commercialisation of advanced RECDs.
The implementation of CPCB IV+ emission standards in the Indian DG set market, has experienced significant price
rationalization driven by the need to comply with stringent environmental regulations. The adoption of advanced emission
control technologies, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel particulate filters (DPF), and electronic fuel injection
systems, leading to notable price increases of 15% to 20% for CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets compared to previous CPCB II
models (Source: F&S Report). This is reflective of the increased manufacturing costs and the use of Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI)
compliant low-sulphur diesel. (Source: F&S Report) Beyond technology costs, implementation of CPCB IV+ norms have
introduced longer development cycles and more stringent certification processes , further contributing to price escalations, with
manufacturers now required to undergo extended testing, emissions validation, and type approval by accredited agencies such
as Automotive Research Association of India (“ARAI”) and International Centre for Automotive Technology (“ICAT”).
(Source: F&S Report) In urban centres like the National Capital Region air pollution has become a critical issue due to the
emissions from DGs These DG sets release harmful pollutants including particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide,
and nitrogen oxides, contributing significantly to poor air quality and health risks. (Source: F&S Report) RECDs are essential
as they can be installed on existing DG sets to reduce these emissions, helping older generators meet current environmental
standards without the need for costly replacements. (Source: F&S Report)
Our Associate, Platino Automotive, holds certifications from ARAI and ICAT for its RECD technology and is well positioned
in the design, production, marketing, and installation of these solutions. Backed by its proven capabilities, we believe Platino
Automotive is well equipped to capitalise on the increasing need for effective emission control in India’s rapidly evolving DG
market with plans to explore export opportunities.

Retrofit Emission Control Devices (“RECD”) Business through our Associate, Platino Automotive
246Our Associate, Platino Automotive, is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, sale and installation of certified RECDs. The
RECD products manufactured by Platino Automotive provide comprehensive solutions for reducing emissions from existing
DG sets. These DG sets, often outdated, release harmful pollutants such as Particulate Matter (PM), Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon
Monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), contributing significantly to poor air quality and health risks. Retrofit Emission
Control Devices (RECDs) are essential as they can be installed on existing DG sets to reduce these emissions, helping older
generators meet current environmental standards without the need for costly replacements. (Source: F&S Report) The RECD
products sold through our Associate, Platino Automotive, are designed for DG sets of any brand, with capacities ranging from
125 kVA to 10,000 kVA. These devices are capable of reducing exhaust emissions using oxidation and passive regenerative trap
principles. In addition, these devices maintain noise levels well within permissible limits set by the CPCB.
The RECDs have been thoughtfully engineered to minimise back pressure and avoid adverse effects on the engine, while also
requiring minimal maintenance. Their compact design eliminates the need for additional floor space, making them a convenient
and space-efficient solution.

248Operational Performance
We continuously monitor key operating metrics at our wind power projects to assess and enhance operational efficiency. These
include plant availability, internal grid availability and external grid availability:
Plant availability and internal grid availability reflect the quality of our project design and the effectiveness of our O&M
practices.
External grid availability is influenced by the reliability and robustness of the transmission infrastructure managed by external
transmission utilities to which our projects are connected.
Our emphasis on quality construction, predictive maintenance, and disciplined asset management has enabled us to achieve
availability levels, as illustrated in the table below for the periods indicated:
Metric Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Average Plant Availability (%) 98.30% 98.80% 98.68%
Average Internal Grid Availability (%) 99.59% 99.67% 99.23%
Average External Grid Availability (%)¹ 99.68% 99.82% 99.23%
Note:
(1) Average external grid availability is calculated as the weighted average based on external grid availability by fully operational project
capacity across the portfolio as of the reported date.
Our performance across these operating parameters has resulted in an average plant load factor (“PLF”, meaning total electricity
generated from the fully operational capacity divided by the maximum possible generation from the same capacity during the
period of operation) across our portfolio, as illustrated below:

losses in case of non-compliance; reactive power consumption guarantees over defined 12 months periods, where non-
compliance leads to reimbursement of additional import charges, up to a capped percentage of the O&M charges; access to real-
time data from turbines without filtration or delay; and power curve warranty to ensure high generation during peak wind
seasons; and blade cleaning services, which help in maintaining aerodynamic efficiency and improving overall generation
output.
Our O&M strategy for our IPP wind power projects ensure that our assets remain in optimal health, reduces downtime, and
enhances overall plant performance. By combining OEM expertise with our in-house capabilities, we aim to maintain greater
control over performance, cost, and compliance, which supports long-term value creation from our renewable energy assets.
Wind Power Project Auctions
The wind power industry in India has transitioned from a feed-in-tariff regime to a bidding regime. (Source: CRISIL Report)
To help non-windy states fulfill their renewable purchase obligation, MNRE apportions wind power capacity by way of reverse
auction where bidders compete by lowering the offered tariff creating a dynamic price discovery process. (Source: CRISIL
Report) The process continues until a bid remains unchallenged, representing the lowest tariff accepted. For details, see “Key
Regulations and Policies in India – Industry specific legislations” beginning on page 262 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
In June 2024, we won two competitive bids for wind power projects, Orchid Phase I and Orchid Phase II, both located in
Gujarat. Orchid Phase I, a 51.3 MW wind power project situated in Manza, Gujarat, was secured at a fixed tariff of ₹3.70 per
kWh. Orchid Phase II, a 52.7 MW wind power project located in Manza, Gujarat, was secured at a fixed tariff of ₹3.81 per
kWh. Both projects were awarded following tariff-based competitive auctions conducted by SECI. We received the letters of
award and subsequently executed the PPA with SECI for Orchid Phase I in June 2024 and for Orchid Phase II in February 2025.
In the future, we plan to increase our wind IPP capacity by participating in public reverse auctions to supply wind power to
state discoms or through SECI.
Power Purchase Agreements
PPAs with central and state government entities and government backed corporations
We have entered into PPAs for each of our Operational and Under-Construction Projects with central and state government
entities and government backed corporations, which generally contain most or all of the following key terms:
Term and Termination: Except for the PPA for our 4.80 MW Jamnagar Wind Farm, Gujarat, which has a term of 20 years, each
PPA is generally valid for a fixed term of 25 years from the commercial operation date (‘COD’) of the respective project.
However, early termination may occur in accordance with the terms of the PPA, due to, inter alia, failure of commissioning the
project within the scheduled commercial operation date agreed upon, persistent failure to supply energy in accordance with the
provisions of the PPA, or voluntary or involuntary insolvency or liquidation proceedings initiated against us.
Tariff: The tariff rates are predetermined and fixed under the terms of each respective PPA. These rates are inclusive of all
applicable taxes, levies, duties, and other statutory liabilities. Across our portfolio of projects, the agreed tariff ranges between
₹ 2.44 per kWh and ₹ 4.19 per kWh. The tariff rate applicable to each project is specifically detailed within the corresponding
PPA.
Contracted Capacity: Contracted capacity is defined as the maximum energy output that a project is committed to deliver under
the PPA. It forms the basis for determining the minimum annual energy supply obligation. This capacity varies from project to
project, depending on site potential, scale, and agreement terms, and ranges between 4.8 MW and 50.6 MW across our existing
agreements. The contracted capacity is also used as the benchmark to calculate performance, penalties, and billing under the
PPA.
Synchronization, Commissioning, and Commercial Operation: Under the terms of the PPAs, we are required to synchronize
each project to the grid maintained by Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited and ensure commissioning within a
defined timeline. This commissioning window typically ranges from 1 month to 24 months from the date of execution of the
PPA, depending on the scale and complexity of the project. Timely commissioning is critical, and failure to do so can result in
financial penalties, including but not limited to the encashment of performance guarantees, liability for liquidated damages, and
potential termination of the PPA.
251Billing and Payment Terms: Billing under all PPAs is conducted on a monthly basis. Upon delivery of an invoice, the respective
counterparty is obligated to make payment within 30 calendar days. In case of delayed payments beyond the due date, the
counterparty is liable to pay interest or a surcharge at the rate specified in the agreement. Conversely, if the counterparty makes
payments within the stipulated period, it may be entitled to a rebate, as specified under the individual PPA terms.
Performance Bank Guarantee: Certain PPAs require us to furnish and maintain a performance bank guarantee from the effective
date of the agreement. The performance bank guarantee acts as a security instrument to ensure timely commissioning and
commercial operations of the project up to the contracted capacity. In case of failure to meet commissioning timelines or breach
of contractual obligations, the respective Counterparty has the right to invoke the performance bank guarantee, either partially
or fully, depending on the extent of default or delay. The performance bank guarantee remains valid for a period as specified in
the PPA, typically until commissioning is completed.
Letter of Credit: For projects having a contracted capacity of 5 MW and above, certain PPAs require the Counterparty to open
and maintain an irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit in our favour. The Letter of Credit is intended to provide a secure
payment mechanism and must be established within 30 days of the scheduled commercial operation date. It must remain
operational throughout the project lifecycle or for the duration specified in the PPA.
Undertakings, Insurance, and Indemnity: We are solely responsible for the complete operation and maintenance of the wind
energy projects, which includes bearing all associated costs, risks, and liabilities. Our responsibilities include securing all
statutory approvals, permits, and clearances required from regulatory authorities. We are liable for the payment of all taxes,

compensation or pursue legal remedies as defined under the agreement.
Wind Power – Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (“EPC”) and Operations & Maintenance (“O&M”) for Balance
of Plant (“BoP”) Business
Wind Power - EPC Business for BoP
Since 2014, we have developed 11 wind power projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 399.10 MW. These consist of
our six wind power projects aggregating an installed capacity of 203.20 MW and five wind power projects aggregating an
installed capacity of 195.90 MW which were developed for other IPPs in India.
Our EPC for BoP services for wind power projects encompass a wide range of activities including site identification, wind mast
installation, wind resource assessment (“WRA”) studies, micro siting, and land and soil surveys to ensure optimal project
locations and designing of BoP. We also manage land acquisition, obtain load flow studies, secure evacuation permits, and
obtain site-specific no objection certificates from relevant authorities. Additionally, we secure right of way (“RoW”) for both
access and transport of WTGs and other components to the site locations and undertake the construction of roads, plot
development, unit substation, crane pads, boom assembly, hardstands, WTG foundation, external and internal transmission
lines, substation, switchyards, and installation of supervisory control and data acquisition (“SCADA”) systems. By offering
end-to-end EPC for BoP services, we are committed to efficient project execution, timely commissioning, and optimal project
performance.
As part of our O&M for BoP services, we maintain BoP infrastructure such as pooling substations, transmission lines, unit
substations, SCADA systems, civil infrastructure, and right of way for the access to the project site. These services are delivered
through a combination of our in-house teams and specialised contractors.
For our Under Construction Wind Power Projects, we have entered into agreements with GE India Industrial Private Limited
for the supply, erection, commissioning and O&M of WTGs for the Orchid Phase I project, which is targeted to be commissioned
in the first half of Fiscal 2026. We have also entered into agreements with Senvion India Wind Power Services LLP and Senvion
Wind Technology Private Limited for the supply, erection, commissioning and O&M of the WTGs for the Orchid Phase II
project, which is targeted to be commissioned in the first half of Fiscal 2027.
252The key stages in the development of a wind power project include:
Wind resources assessment: We install wind mast at potential sites and conduct wind resource assessment of the proposed site
to estimate the annual energy yield for the project. We have in-house wind resources assessment tools, techniques, software and
methodology to conduct average park efficiency, micro siting and arrive at estimated generation of individual turbine. We obtain
necessary approvals from government authorities for installing wind masts to obtain long-term site-specific wind data and
register the wind masts with the Centre for Wind Energy Technology. We then review the wind data and make wind resource
estimates and micro siting of the project and energy analysis, estimating uncertainty and corrections to be able to conclude
suitable turbine technology, layout, hub height and rotor diameter for the proposed project.
Land procurement: After the wind resources assessment, we start the process of land acquisition through in-house land
aggregators or sub-developers and EPC contractors, as required. There are two types of land: government revenue land and
private land. Government revenue land which we acquire on lease from state governments and private land. Government land
is acquired after obtaining various no-objection certificates from government departments and is typically allotted for 20 years
on a lease basis, which is renewable for further period till the life of the project. Private land is acquired after thorough due
diligence and obtaining land title reports from legal consultants. After executing the sale deed and completing other formalities,
we obtain non-agriculture permission and various other approvals that are required. We identify the pathways to approach the
locations as well as for installation of transmission lines after conducting a detailed logistics and route surveys. Based on the
survey reports and type of land, we acquire permanent right of way through land aggregators rights by executing notarized /
registered agreements, with the respective land owners for the life of the project.
Approvals: After procuring land, we obtain all the requisite approvals and permissions from the nodal agencies. During the
approval process, we hold meetings with state and central agencies and local stake holders and seek project approvals from
relevant state and central authorities.
Bidding to determine tariffs: State and Central authorities conduct bidding auctions before awarding contracts. For our own
projects, we are required to follow the SECI and MNRE guidelines for central bidding and relevant distribution company
guidelines for state biding. While awarding contracts, certain factors that are considered include energy yield, generation reports,
machine and site suitability reports, wind mast data and indicative machine cost. Other factors which are important for winning
bids for our own projects are source of finance, debt-equity ratio, cost of balance of plant, implementation schedule, cost of
funding, land profile, evacuation feasibility, regulatory and other risks. We make assessments prior to submitting a bid which
includes the rating of the state distribution utility, ease of doing business in relevant state, land availability, wind and soil
conditions, payment cycle, local issues, ease of construction, logistics survey, topography and compete feasibility of the project.
After winning a bid, a letter of award is issued and a power purchase agreement is signed subsequently, which is typically for
25 years.
Project Construction and Commissioning: After winning a bid, we proceed for the third stage of the project cycle, which is the
construction, installation testing and commissioning of the pooling substation and transmission lines connected to the utility
substation, along with road constructions, right of way for access to the substation and transmission lines. Thereafter, stage four
of the project cycle includes the balance of plant where we have to construct, install, test and commission the foundation, unit
substation, SCADA, internal transmission line to evacuate 33 KV power, plot development, crane pad, hard stand, right of way,
construction of road for locations and other infrastructure required for the project and site establishment. OEM responsibilities
include the supply of the WTG component, transportation of WTG, erection, testing and commission of the turbines.
Construction typically takes between 12 to 18 months. Complete project is commissioned in synchronization with OEM. Post
commissioning of the project, a performance test is conducted for individual turbines and integration within the project.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our EPC business for BoP, including land-related services, comprises two
wind power projects currently under construction for other IPPs in India, with a total definitive contract capacity of 435.60
MW. We have also received a letter of award for the BoP works of an additional 150 MW project. In addition, we are developing

Wind Power - Operations & Maintenance (O&M) for Balance of Plant Business
We provide O&M services for our own wind projects and external projects. As part of this service, we manage the wind power
projects in a professional, effective and safe way during the whole windfarm lifecycle. Proper SOPs are introduced for the
smooth operation of windfarm activities and are regularly updated and released.
Our Asset Management function has the following wings:
Electrical: a key vertical of our asset management which plays an important role in maintaining all the electrical transmission
equipment and hence it is the backbone of power generation and transmission. We are currently providing these services for our
own projects as well as external customers, maintaining substations and electrical transmission lines in the wind farms with a
team of highly skilled manpower. We put emphasis in better wind power plant operation by rendering the best service for our
customers to achieve good grid availability.
SCADA: SCADA plays a major role in wind farms as it supports the supervisory function of a wind farm and continuously
collects, stores and processes data from the entire wind power plant, including the wind turbines. Through the SCADA system,
the WTG data will also be kept for future reference purpose, potentially allowing us to further study and understand the
performance of the wind projects. We have a dedicated SCADA team and deliver proper operation and maintenance of SCADA
and the wind farms’ IT systems, which currently manage these operations for our own projects only.
Powerica Analysis & Monitoring Centre (“PAMC”): PAMC features a robust infrastructure with qualified engineers who
monitor all WTGs on a 24/7 basis. The core focus is on the response time and restoration duration of any errors or malfunctions
in the WTGs or transmission electrical equipment, whether managed by OEMs or subcontractors. PAMC ensures maximum
productivity through real-time monitoring and effective analysis of WTGs using SCADA data. This includes power curve
analysis, availability analysis, trend analysis, and error analysis. The performance of WTGs is meticulously tracked with a real-
time analytical dashboard, and detailed MIS reports are prepared on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Additionally, PAMC
maintains a comprehensive record of major component replacements or repairs in WTGs and electrical transmission equipment,
providing daily progress updates to management. Currently, the PAMC related services are provided for our own IPP wind
power projects and not for external IPP clients.
Power Forecasting & Scheduling: Forecasting & Scheduling is a regulatory framework in India designed to manage the
integration of renewable energy, particularly wind power, into the electricity grid. This mechanism ensures grid stability and
optimizes power generation by requiring IPPs to forecast their generation and adhere to scheduled commitments. We have a
well-organized infrastructure with qualified engineers monitoring all our substations on a 24/7 basis. The team focuses on
regularly updating information such as available capacity, wind speeds, and current load to the qualified coordinating agency
(the “QCA”). The forecasting and scheduling data shared by QCA is reviewed, and the team coordinates with QCA to minimize
deviation charges. Additionally, the team analyzes past deviations and suggest corrective measures to enhance accuracy and
grid compliance. Regular discussions with QCA and internal stakeholders help improve scheduling strategies, ensuring seamless
integration of renewable energy into the grid while mitigating financial penalties under deviation settlement mechanism
regulations. Currently, these services are being carried out for our own IPP wind power projects and not for external IPP clients.
We have been taking steps towards the management of our wind power assets by adopting advanced inspection and repair
practices for our WTG blades since 2024. Starting from Fiscal 2027, our dedicated blade inspection and maintenance team,
consisting of experienced members, will independently handle blade inspections and repairs. This initiative is aimed towards
offering benefits, including cost savings, improved efficiency, enhanced quality control, and long-term asset health.
254Additionally, we plan to extend these services to third party customers. Further, we aim to procure the Blade Access Platform
(“BAP”), which will empower our team to independently handle blade repairs and maintenance, including leading edge
protection and lightning strike repairs without the requirement of crane and ROW to optimize the cost of repairing. This will
ensure timely maintenance and reduced operational downtime.
To further enhance our operations, we have deployed high-resolution zooming cameras at some of our wind power projects.
Further, we are also in the process of deploying drones at some of our wind power sites. These tools enable precise identification
of blade damage, cracks, and other anomalies from a distance. Combined with our team’s experience, these technologies will
streamline operations, improve inspection accuracy, and ensure optimal performance and longevity of the blades. Having an in-
house team allows for continuous monitoring and quicker interventions, addressing small cracks or defects before they escalate
into significant failures. This proactive approach enhances the long-term reliability of our wind farm assets and improves return
on investment.

We have consistently invested in information technology (“IT”) to enhance our productivity and operational efficiency. Our
commitment to building and strengthening our IT infrastructure extends across all branches, factories, wind farms, and site
offices, each of which is equipped with high-bandwidth internet connectivity and secure virtual private network access for
business applications.
Operational data from all wind farms is centrally collected using ‘Schipher Vx+’ software, and analysed using custom analytics
tools, enabling effective monitoring of performance and operations. We utilise ‘WASP’ software for comprehensive wind
turbine analysis, including assessments of power curves, wind rose distributions, and downtime, among other parameters. In
addition, we have adopted digital solutions at key stages of our design and manufacturing processes, and we continue to upgrade
our automation and technology platforms to drive further improvements.
To support project management activities such as tracking, planning, scheduling, resource allocation, budgeting, and monitoring
project progress, we rely on ‘MS Project’ and customised ‘Oracle’ project modules. Our finance and inventory functions are
managed through ‘Oracle Business Suite’, while the ‘Oracle Fusion Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Cloud Service’
strengthens our customer engagement and relationship management.
We employ a suite of specialised design and engineering software. ‘ZWCAD’ is used for product design and development of
two-dimensional drawings, while ‘CAD Worx’ supports both two-dimensional and three-dimensional
modelling. ‘Amada’ and ‘InPower’ are utilised for the configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics of generator and power
control systems to ensure reliable operations. ‘Amada’ also provides advanced sheet metal fabrication solutions, including laser
cutting, bending, punching, automation, and integrated manufacturing software. In addition, we use ‘AutoCAD’ for various
engineering activities. ‘PTC Creo’ serves as our primary software for advanced 3D product design, simulation, and integration
into manufacturing.
258In the human resource (“HR”) domain, ‘Spine HRMS Cloud’ automates and manages core HR activities such as payroll,
attendance, leave, recruitment, employee training, performance management, and regulatory compliance through a single
unified platform.

Industry specific legislations
The Electricity Act, 2003 (“Electricity Act”)
The Electricity Act provides for, inter alia, generation, transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity. Under the
Electricity Act, the transmission, distribution and trade of electricity are regulated activities that require licenses from the
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”), the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (“SERCs”) or a joint
commission (constituted by an agreement entered into by two or more state governments or the central government in relation
to one or more state governments, as the case may be). The generating company is required to establish, operate and maintain
generating stations, tie-lines, sub-stations and dedicated transmission lines. Further, the generating company may supply
electricity to any licensee or even directly to consumers, subject to availing open access to the transmission and distribution
systems and payment of transmission charges, including wheeling charges and open access charges, as may be determined by
the relevant electricity regulatory commission. In terms of the Electricity Act, open access means the non-discriminatory
provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution system or associated facilities, by any licensee or consumer or a person
engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations specified by the relevant electricity regulatory commission. Under the
Electricity Rules, 2005, as amended, if the captive generating plant is established by an affiliate company, the captive user must
hold no less than 51% of the ownership in that affiliate company.
The Electricity Act promotes co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by requiring the
relevant SERCs to: (i) provide suitable measures for grid connectivity and sale of electricity from such sources; and (ii) specify
a percentage of the total consumption of electricity in the area of distribution licensees for purchase of electricity from such
sources, known as renewable purchase obligations (“RPOs”). The Ministry of Power, Government of India (the “MoP”), has,
from time to time, notified the long-term growth trajectory of RPOs for solar and non-solar power, uniformly for all states and
union territories. The MoP, through an order dated July 22, 2022 (F. No. 09/13/2021-RCM) read with corrigendum dated
September 19, 2022 has notified the RPO trajectory for a period of eight years i.e., Fiscal 2023 to Fiscal 2030. It includes
trajectory for wind renewable purchase obligations, hydro power renewable purchase obligations and other renewable purchase
obligations.
Under the Electricity Act, the appropriate commission shall specify the terms and conditions for the determination of tariff, and
one of the guiding factors in doing so shall be the promotion of co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable
sources of energy. The SERCs under the Electricity Act are also required to promote co-generation and generation of electricity
from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any
person, and also specify, for purchase of electricity from such sources, a percentage of the total consumption of electricity in
the area of a distribution license.
The Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2022 (“Electricity Bill”) was introduced in Lok Sabha on August 8, 2022. The Electricity
Bill has proposed a few amendments to the Electricity Act, such as providing non-discriminatory open access by allowing the
power distribution licensees to use the networks of other licensees and enabling regulators to fix a minimum tariff for retail sale
of electricity in accordance with the provisions of the Electricity Act and the rules made thereunder. The Electricity Bill seeks
to empower the CERC and SERCs to adjudicate disputes including those relating to performance of obligations under a contract
related to sale, purchase or transmission of electricity, involving generating companies or licensees.
Electricity Rules, 2005 (“Rules”)
The Rules, as amended, were framed under the Electricity Act and provide the requirements in respect of captive generating
plants and generating stations. The authorities constituted under the Rules may give appropriate directions for maintaining the
availability of the transmission system of a transmission licensee. Further, the Rules have been amended pursuant to the
Electricity (Amendment) Rules, 2024, which include inter alia amendments to the establishment and operation of dedicated
transmission lines, open access charges, and mandate cost-reflective tariffs to manage revenue gaps.
262National Electricity Policy, 2005, as amended (“NEP”)
The NEP was announced by the Government of India on February 12, 2005, in accordance with the provisions of the Electricity
Act. The key objectives of the NEP, amongst other things are, stipulating guidelines for accelerated development of the power
sector, providing supply of electricity to all areas and protecting interests of consumers and other stakeholders, keeping in view
availability of energy resources, technology available to exploit these resources, economics of generation using different
resources and energy security issues. The NEP provides that the network expansion be planned and implemented keeping in
view anticipated transmission needs that would be incident on the system in the open access regime. The NEP provides that
SERC should specify appropriate tariffs in order to promote renewable energy (until renewable energy power producers relying
on non-conventional technologies can compete within the competitive bidding system). Furthermore, the NEP provides that
such purchase of electricity by distribution companies should be through competitive bidding.
National Tariff Policy, 2016 (“NTP 2016”)
In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 3 of the Electricity Act, Government of India has notified the revised tariff
policy to be applicable from January 28, 2016 (“NTP 2016”). The objective of NTP 2016, inter alia, includes: (i) ensuring
financial viability of the power sector and attract investments; (ii) ensuring availability of electricity to consumers at reasonable
and competitive rates; (iii) promoting generation of electricity from renewable power sources and (iv) promoting hydroelectric
power generation. The NTP 2016 has removed the ambiguity on applicability of the renewable purchase obligations (“RPO”)
on co-generation as it has been clarified that cogeneration from sources other than renewable sources shall not be excluded
from the applicability of the RPO.
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff determination from Renewable Energy
Sources) Regulations, 2024 (“Tariff Regulations”)
The Tariff Regulations prescribe the criteria that may be taken into consideration by the CERC while determining the tariff for
the sale of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. Under the Tariff Regulations, CERC has the power to determine
project-specific tariff for various types of renewable energy project, including the wind power projects, based on financial
principles such as debt-equity ratio, loan tenure and interest on loan, interest on working capital and any incentive, grant or
subsidy from the Central or State Government.
The Tariff Regulations further prescribe the criteria that may be taken into consideration by the relevant electricity regulatory
commissions while determining the tariff for the sale of electricity generated from renewable energy sources which include,
among others, return on equity, interest on loan and working capital, operations and maintenance expenses, cost of capital and
depreciation. Pursuant to the NTP 2016, the CERC is required to determine the rate of return on equity which may be adopted
by the relevant electricity regulatory commissions to determine the generic tariff, keeping in view the overall risk and prevalent
cost of capital, which factors are also to be taken into consideration by relevant electricity regulatory commissions while
determining the tariff rate. The Tariff Regulations prescribe that the normative return on equity will be 14% for renewable
energy projects other than small hydro projects, to be grossed up by the prevailing minimum alternate tax by the latest available
notified minimum alternate tax rate for the first 20 years of the tariff period and by the latest available notified corporate tax
rate for the remaining tariff period.
Central Electricity Authority (Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2023 (“CEA Rules”)
The CEA Rules have been enacted by the Central Electricity Authority, constituted under Electricity Act, to provide for
measures relating to safety and electric supply. The CEA Rules provide for the general safety requirements pertaining to
construction, installation, protection, operation and maintenance of electric supply lines and apparatus. Further, as per the CEA
Rules, installations, defined under the CEA Rules as any composite electrical unit used for the purpose of generating,
transforming, transmitting, converting, distributing, or utilizing electricity, must be periodically inspected and tested at intervals
not exceeding five years, by the electrical inspector if the voltage of the installation is above the notified voltage or by the owner
or supplier or consumer, as the case may be if the voltage of the installation is below or equal to the notified voltage. In case
the owner fails to rectify the defects in the installation pointed out by the electrical inspector in his inspection report, the
electrical inspector has the authority to disconnect the electric supply for such installation after serving the owner of such
installation with a notice for not less than 48 hours.

3. Basis of Consolidation
a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed
to, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those
returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the
rights are substantive. The Restated Financial Information of subsidiaries are included in the Restated
Consolidated Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information of the Group are consolidated on line-by-line basis. Intra-
group transactions, balances and any unrealised gains arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.
All temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup
transactions are recognised as per IND AS 12, Income Taxes.
Upon loss of control, the Group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling
interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the
loss of control is recognized in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If the Company retains
any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is
lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee depending on the level of influence
retained.
Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previously held equity
interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed.
b) Associates
Associates are those entities over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the
power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entities but is not control or joint
control of those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds more than 20% of
the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are
initially recognized at cost. The carrying value of the Company’s investment includes goodwill identified on
acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Company does not consolidate entities where the
non-controlling interest (“NCI”) holders have certain significant participating rights that provide for effective
involvement in significant decisions in the ordinary course of business of such entities. Investments in such
entities are accounted by the equity method of accounting. The Company accounts for its share of post-
acquisition changes in net assets of associate, after eliminating unrealised profits and losses resulting from
transactions between the Company and its associate to the extent of its share, through its Restated
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent such change is attributable to the associates’ Statement
of Profit and Loss and through its reserves for the balance based on available information. When the
Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that
interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is
discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the
investee.

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at
cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any.
319Powerica Limited
CIN: U31100MH1984PLC032825
Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and
non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of
bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing
the item and restoring the site on which it is located. The cost of a self- constructed item of property, plant and
equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, and other cost directly attributable to bringing the
item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost,
comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest. Advances given towards
acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets.
All identifiable Revenue expenses including interest incurred in respect of various projects/ expansion, net of
income earned during the project development stage prior to its intended use, are considered as pre-operative
expenses and disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the group.
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values
over their estimated useful lives prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 using the
diminishing balance method except in respect of the following category of assets, and is recognised in the
restated consolidated statement of profit or loss. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Improvements on Leased Premises Over the period of lease
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if
appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date on which the
asset is ready for use (disposed of).
5.2 Intangible Assets
(a) Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to
the assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets are stated at cost or acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related
expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
(b) Amortisation
Software is amortised over a period of 3 years on straight line basis from the date they are available for
intended use, subject to impairment test. Rights of way are amortised over the period of agreement of right to
use which ranges from 25 years to 99 years.
320Powerica Limited
CIN: U31100MH1984PLC032825
Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are
reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected
pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the
amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
c) De-recognition
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the restated consolidated
statement of profit and loss when the assets is de-recognised.
5.3 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets:
Classification:
Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, on the basis of its business model for managing the
financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement:
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two broad categories:
• Financial assets at fair value (FVTPL /FVTOCI)
• Financial assets at amortised cost
When assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised in the statement of profit and loss
(i.e. fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)).
Financial Assets measured at amortised cost (net of any write down for impairment, if any):
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost when asset is held within a business model, whose objective is to
hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows and contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Such financial assets are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method less impairment, if any. The losses arising from
impairment are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
Financial Assets measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL"):
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value with all
changes recognised in profit or loss.
321Powerica Limited
CIN: U31100MH1984PLC032825
Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
Financial Assets measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVTOCI"):
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value, when asset
is held within a business model, whose objective is to hold assets for both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling financial assets. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income.
Investment in Equity Instruments:
Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. All other equity instruments are classified
as FVTOCI. Fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the other comprehensive
income. There is no recycling of the amounts from other comprehensive income to profit or loss.
Investment in Debt Instruments:
A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the
criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. Debt instruments included
within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and
loss.
De-recognition of Financial Assets:
A financial asset is primarily derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or
Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Impairment of Financial Assets:
In accordance with Ind - AS 109, Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition
of impairment loss on the financial assets that are debt instruments and trade receivables.
Financial Liabilities:
Classification:
Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans, borrowings and payables, net
of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and
derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Interest-bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and
losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through EIR amortisation
process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or
costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit
and loss.
322Powerica Limited
CIN: U31100MH1984PLC032825
Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
De-recognition of Financial Liabilities:
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-
recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derivative Financial Instrument:
Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to mitigate its foreign currency
risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets
when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge Accounting
The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations
relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Group designates such forward contracts in a cash flow
hedging relationships by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value
at each reporting date. Changes in fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges
of future cash flows are recognized directly in (OCI) and accumulated in ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’
under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately
in the Statement of Profit & Loss. Amounts accumulated in the ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’ are reclassified
to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Statement of
Profit & Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is terminated, or
exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on
the hedging instrument recognised in ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’ is retained until the forecasted
transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss
recognised in ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’ is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
5.4 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets:
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment
testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use) is determined on
an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from
other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit to which the asset
belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the Restated Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the
estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Restated Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of accumulated amortisation or depreciation)
has no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
5.5 Inventories:
In case of Holding Company and Subsidiary outside India:
Raw materials are valued at lower of cost (on weighted average basis) or estimated net realisable value. Cost for
this purpose includes basic cost of materials and all identifiable direct cost and includes taxes and duties and is
net of eligible credits under GST schemes.
323Powerica Limited
CIN: U31100MH1984PLC032825
Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
Finished goods are valued at lower of cost or estimated realisable value. Cost for this purpose comprises of Raw
Material cost and proportionate overheads allocated on the assumption of normal operating capacity.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost or estimated realisable value.
Work-in-progress are valued at estimated cost.
Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred up to the date of balance sheet. Materials and
other items held for use in production of inventories are not written down, if the finished products in which they
will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.
In case of Indian Subsidiaries:
Work-in-Progress includes internal development cost, external development cost, construction costs, overheads,
borrowing costs, development/construction materials and are valued at cost/estimated cost.
5.6 Cash and Cash Equivalent:
Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise of cash on hand and cash at bank including fixed deposit/highly liquid
investments with original maturity period of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
5.7 Cash Flow Statements:
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments
and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flow from operating,
investing and financing activities of Group are segregated.
5.8 Foreign Currency Transactions:
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Date
of transaction for determining the exchange rate for translation would be earlier of:
The date of initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment
or receipt of advance consideration, and
The date that the related item is recognised in the financial statements.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the year-end are re-measured at the exchange rate
prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost.
Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on restatement is recognised in
the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except for:
Exchange differences on translation or settlement of long term foreign currency monetary items in respect of loans
borrowed before April 1, 2016 at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded or reported in the
previous financial statements, insofar as it relates to acquisition of depreciable assets, are adjusted to the cost of
the assets and depreciated over remaining useful life of such assets.
5.9 Revenue Recognition:
Revenue from contracts with customers for sale of goods and provision of services. Revenue from contracts with
customers is recognized when control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
324Powerica Limited
CIN: U31100MH1984PLC032825
Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
The Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is
met:
a) The Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternate use to the Group and the Group has
as an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
b) The Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or
enhanced.
c) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance
as the Group performs.
For performance obligations where one of the above conditions are not met, revenue is recognized at the point in
time at which the performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually
defined terms of payment and excluding taxes and duty.
The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting as principal or
agent. Taxes collected on behalf of the government are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized to the
extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can
be measured reliably.
Variable consideration includes volume discounts, price concessions, liquidity damages, incentives, etc. The
Group estimates the variable consideration with respect to above based on an analysis of accumulated historical
experience. The Group adjust estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration
we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.
Sale of Products:
Performance obligation in case of Revenue from sale of goods is satisfied at a point in time and is recognized
when the performance obligation is satisfied and control as per Ind AS 115 is transferred to the customer. The
Group collects GST on behalf of the Government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the
Group. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Revenue is disclosed net of discounts, incentives and returns, as
applicable.
Rendering of Services:
Performance obligation in case of erection contracts is satisfied over the period of time. Since the group creates an
asset that the customer controls as the asset is created and the group has an enforceable right to payment for
performance completed to date if it is meets the agreed specifications. Revenue from such contracts, where the
outcome can be estimated reliably and 10% of the project cost is incurred, is recognized under the percentage of
completion method by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is
measured by input method i.e. the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of a
contract. The total costs of contracts are estimated based on technical and other estimates. In the event that a loss is
anticipated on a particular contract, provision is made for the estimated loss. Contract revenue earned in excess of
billing is reflected under as “Unbilled Revenues” and billing in excess of contract revenue is reflected under
“Contract Liabilities”.
Dividend income is recognised when right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on
effective interest method. Insurance and other claims are recognised as a revenue on certainty of receipt on
prudent basis.
Sale of Certified Emission Reductions (CER’s) is recognised as income on the delivery of the CER’s to the
customer’s account as evidenced by the receipt of confirmation of execution of delivery instructions.

5.10 Employee Benefits:
In case of Holding Company and Subsidiaries in India
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months rendering service are classified as short term
employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc.,
and the expected cost of bonus, ex gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related
service.
(i) Defined benefit plans
Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (`the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible
employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death,
incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the
tenure of employment with Group.
Liabilities with regard to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent
actuary, at each balance sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
In case of Holding Company, Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Powerica Limited
Employees Group Gratuity Assurance Scheme (the Trust). Trustees administer contributions made to the
Trust and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by
laws of India.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined
benefit obligations reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is
limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme. The
group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the other comprehensive income for the period in which
they occur. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in the restated consolidated statement of profit
and loss.
(ii) Defined contribution plans:
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered
services entitling them to such benefits. Group pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered
provident funds as per local regulations. Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions
have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are
recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset
to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
(iii) Compensated absences:
Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature.
The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by
an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional
amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance
sheet date.
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in
which the employee renders the related services are recognised liability at the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

In case of Foreign Subsidiary:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months rendering service are classified as short term
employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives
etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders
related service.
Provision for employees’ end of service benefits is made in accordance with the respective Country labor laws
and is based on the current remuneration and period of service at the end of the reporting period. Provision is
made for estimated liability for employees’ entitlement to annual leave as a result of services rendered by the
employees up to the end of the reporting period.
5.11 Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest
and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
5.12 Lease:
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains,
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group
uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.
Group as a lessee
The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease
components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of
the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease
components.
i) Right-of-Use Assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use as set representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at
the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the
amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate
of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the
underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less
any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of
the lease liability.
The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the
shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of- use assets are
determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for
impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
ii) Lease Liabilities
The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. The lease
payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a
purchase option where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for
terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease
liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability,
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to
reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The
group recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to

Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the
measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in
restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets
that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease
payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
The Group as a lessor
Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the
lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a
finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. For operating leases, rental income is
recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease
5.13 Earnings Per Equity Share:
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the restated net profit attributable to the equity holders of
the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the
weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the
weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
5.14 Income Taxes:
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax.
Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss except to
the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other
comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to
be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred
income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or
the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be
utilized. The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to
set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
5.15 Dividends to Shareholders:
Annual dividend distribution to the shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends
are approved by the shareholders. Any interim dividend paid is recognised on approval by Board of Directors.
Dividend payable and corresponding tax on dividend distribution is recognised directly in equity.

Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
5.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments:
Provisions are recognised when Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable
estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are not discounted to
its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet
date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If there is
any expectation that some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate
asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the
statement of profit and loss net of any virtually certain reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to
the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a
finance cost.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
possible obligation which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group,
or
present obligations arising from past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor
disclosed in the financial statements.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
5.17 Fair Value:
The Group measures financial instruments at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies mentioned
above. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the
presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or,
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the restated financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels, described as follows, the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3 inputs).
Level 1 — quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

5.18 Segment Reporting:
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company.
The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performances of the operating segments of the
Company.
5.19 Business Combinations:
Common control business combinations includes transactions, such as transfer of subsidiaries or businesses,
between entities within a group.
Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control shall be accounted for using the
pooling of interests method.
The pooling of interest method is considered to involve the following:
i) The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.
ii) No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities. The only
adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies.
iii) The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods should be restated
as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the
financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. However, if business
combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information shall be restated only from
that date.
iv) The balance of the retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is
aggregated with the corresponding balance appearing in the financial statements of the transferee
6. Use of Estimates and Judgements:
The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimates
and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and
the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in
preparation of the Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these
estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known/ materialize. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that
have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are
included in the accounting policies.

44. Employee Benefits:
a) Defined Contribution Plans:
The Group offers its employees defined contribution plans in the form of Provident Fund (PF) and
Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) with the government, and certain state plans such as Employees’ State
Insurance (ESI). PF and EPS cover substantially all regular employees and the ESI covers eligible workers.
Contributions are made to the Government’s funds. While both the employees and the Group pay
predetermined contributions into the Provident Fund and the ESI Scheme, contributions into the pension
fund is made only by the Company. The contributions are normally based on a certain portion of the
employee’s salary.
During the year, the Company has recognised the following amounts:
31.03.2025 31.03.2024 31.03.2023
Provident Fund and Employee’s Pension Scheme 4.93 4.36 3.82

Accumulation) Scheme of the LIC, a funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The scheme
provides for payment to vested employees as under:
a. On normal retirement / early retirement / withdrawal / resignation:

Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
In respect of Indian Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries have an obligation towards gratuity, an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible
employees. Every employee has completed 5 years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days
salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service.
Company's liability towards gratuity is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method as per the actuarial
valuation carried out at the balance sheet date.
In respect of Foreign Subsidiary
Provision for employees’ end of service benefits is made in accordance with the respective Country labor laws
and is based on the current remuneration and period of service at the end of the reporting period. Provision is
made for estimated liability for employees’ entitlement to annual leave as a result of services rendered by the
employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Aforesaid post-employment benefit plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment
risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
Investment Risk The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated using a discount rate
which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting
period on government bonds.
Interest Risk A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this
will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's investments.
Longevity Risk The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated by reference to the
best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their
employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will
increase the plan's liability.
Salary Risk The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated by reference to the
future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in salary of the plan
participants will increase the plan's liability.
i) The following tables summarise the components of defined benefit expense recognised in the restated
consolidated statement of profit or loss/OCI and the funded and unfunded status and amounts recognised in

ii) Sensitivity Analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and
expected salary increase. Reasonable, possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial
assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligations by the
amounts shown below:
31.03.2025 31.03.2024 31.03.2023
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Discount rate (0.5%) movement (0.78) 0.84 (0.67) 0.72 (0.58) 0.62
Salary growth rate (0.5%) 0.60 (0.60) 0.55 (0.54) 0.48 (0.48)
movement
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the
assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of
the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the
reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability
recognised in the Financial Statements.

48. Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximize the shareholder value. Management
monitors the return of capital, as well as the level of dividends paid to equity shareholders. The board of directors
seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing
and advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
Group monitors capital using a ratio of ‘adjusted net debt’ to ‘adjusted equity’. For this purpose, adjusted net
debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash
equivalents and current investments. Equity comprises all components of equity.
Group’s policy is to keep the ratio below 1 and its adjusted net debt to equity ratio was as follows:
31.03.2025 31.03.2024 31.03.2023
Debt (Debt + Current Liabilities) 300.80 177.52 278.87
Less: Cash and Cash Equivalents 376.07 330.58 348.05
Adjusted Net Debt - - -
Equity 1,093.76 912.09 794.58
Adjusted Net Debt to Equity Ratio - - -
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure
that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital
structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call
loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and
borrowing in the current year.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March
31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

49. Financial Instrument- Fair values and risk management
A) Accounting Classification and Fair Values:
Carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair
value hierarchy, are presented below. It does not include the fair value information for financial assets and
financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual
funds that have declared buyback NAV. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (like Mark to Market
Derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and
rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is
included in level 3.

Derivative Forward pricing: The fair value is determined Not applicable Not applicable
instruments using quoted forward exchange rates at the
reporting date and present value calculations
based on high credit quality yield curves in
the respective currency.
C) Financial risk management
The Group’s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risks
and credit risk. The Company’s senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and
governing the Group’s risk management framework. Management is responsible for developing and
monitoring Group’s risk management policies, under the guidance of Operations & Management Committee.
The framework seeks to identify, assess and mitigate financial risks in order to minimize potential adverse
effects on the Group’s financial performance. Audit Committee reviews investments at periodical intervals
i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities
(primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual funds
and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
a) Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to Group’s established policy,
procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Group extends credit only to
customers based on its past dealings and outstanding customer receivables are being monitored by
individual business managers located in those places. In most cases an appropriate letter of credit /
bank guarantee is taken from the customers to cover the risk. The concentration of credit risk is limited
due to the fact that the customer base is large. There is no customer representing more than 5% of the
total balance of trade receivables.
On account of adoption of IND AS 109, the Group uses ECL model to assess the impairment loss or
gain. The Group uses a provision matrix to compute the ECL allowance for trade receivables.

b) Financial instruments
Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, bonds, debentures, preference shares, derivative
financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against
these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit
ratings assigned by the national and international credit rating agencies.
ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Group may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral
obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. Group’s objective is to, at all times maintain optimum
levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. Group closely monitors its liquidity position
and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate sources of financing including
overdraft from banks at an optimised cost.
Group aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents and other highly marketable debt
investments at an amount required to meet expected cash outflows on financial liabilities over foreseeable
future.
The table below analysis derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities of the Group into relevant
maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity
date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and
other price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures
within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Financial instruments affected by market risk
includes borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables, loans and derivative financial
instruments.
Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and interest rates. Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange
contracts & options to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations, as per foreign exchange
exposure policy adopted by the Group.
The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to
floating interest rates of the debt and derivatives and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign
currencies are all constant.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-
employment benefit obligations, provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities.
The sensitivity of the relevant income statement item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective
market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2025, March 31,
2024 and March 31, 2023.
a) Foreign Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due
to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars, EURO and GBP.
Consequently the Company uses both derivative instruments i.e. foreign exchange forward contracts to
mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
At any point in time, Group covers foreign currency risk by taking appropriate hedges as a percentage of
its foreign currency exposure, in accordance with the policy as approved by the Board. Group uses
forward exchange contracts to mitigate its currency risk, most with a maturity of less than one year from
the reporting date. In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies,
Company's policy is to ensure that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling
foreign currencies through Swaps and Forwards.
The Group also enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge and manage its foreign currency
exposures towards future export earnings and future import payments. Such derivative contracts are
entered into by the Group for hedging purposes only and are accordingly classified as cash flow hedge.

Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(All amounts in Indian Rupees crores, except share data and where otherwise stated)
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair
values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates
if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is
the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of
fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
Company’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-
bearing borrowings is as follows:
Particulars 31.03.2025 31.03.2024 31.03.2023
Non-Current Borrowings
(including Current maturities of
long-term debt)
Fixed Rate Borrowings 1.52 Nil 87.10
Variable Rate Borrowings 299.28 167.58 190.67
300.80 167.58 277.77
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Company does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss.
Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect the profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonably possible change of 0.25 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have
impacted profit before tax as below.
Particulars 31.03.2025 31.03.2024 31.03.2023
Increase in interest rate by 0.75 0.42 0.48
0.25 %
Decrease in interest rate by (0.75) (0.42) (0.48)
0.25 %
The risk estimates provided assume a change of 0.25 basis points interest rate for the interest rate
benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarized above. This calculation also assumes that the
change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as
at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding
during the period.
b) Other Price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in
market traded price. Other price risk for the Group arises from financial assets such as investments in
equity instruments, liquid mutual funds, debt mutual funds and bonds.
The Group is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in debt mutual funds, equity
instruments, debentures and bonds recognised at FVTPL. As at March 31, 2025, the carrying value of
such debt mutual funds, equity instruments, debentures and bonds recognised at FVTPL amounts to Rs.
366.06 Crores (31.03.2024 – Rs. 333.41 Crores, 31.03.2023 Rs. 383.30 Crores. The details of such
investments in debt mutual funds, equity instruments, debentures and bonds are given in Notes 9 and
15.
Investments in Debentures, Bonds and Debt Mutual Funds, being debt instruments, the exposure to risk
of changes in market rates is minimal.

those revenues, the Company has applied the practical expedient in Ind AS 115. Accordingly, the Company has not
disclosed the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations
which pertain to contracts where revenue recognised corresponds to the value transferred to customer typically
involving time and material and outcome based contracts.

51. Hedge Accounting:
The Company’s risk management policy is to hedge its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of highly
probable forecast sales and purchases over the following 12-48 months. The Company uses forward exchange
contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.
The forward exchange contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales and
purchases, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-48 months from the reporting
date. The Group’s policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.
The Company determines the existence of economic relationships between the hedging instrument and hedged
item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Company assess whether the
derivative designated in each hedging relationships is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes
in the cash flow of hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedge relationships, changes in timing of the hedge transactions are the main source of hedge
ineffectiveness.

financial measures are not required by or presented in accordance with Ind AS.
Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should not
be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure of
financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating,

Rules 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
384SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of important factors including:
Demand for power in India
Changes in the price of oil, coal and other energy sources as well as the availability and reliability of grid-generated power affects
the demand for power and our DG sets. As demand for grid-generated power has increased, we have experienced corresponding
increases in demand for our DG sets. We believe that DG sets offer energy availability and relative mobility allowing for relatively
easier deployment at customer sites. However, demand for our DG sets may be affected by changes in the price of diesel and the
emergence of alternative fuel generator sets, such as biodiesel generator sets. Similarly, we may experience a decline in demand for
our MSLG generator sets if the price of oil or cheaper heavy fuel grades such as heavy fuel oil, low sulphur heavy stock and light
diesel oil were to increase. In addition, increased levels and greater reliability of grid-generated power may also affect demand for
our generator sets. With respect to our Wind Power Business, the relative attractiveness and demand for wind power can be affected
by the cost of electricity generated by conventional resources, such as oil, coal and other fossil fuels, and other renewable sources
such as solar, biomass and hydroelectric power. Consequently, any adverse change in the demand for power may affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
Our relationship with Cummins India and Hyundai
Since our inception in 1984, we have formed a long standing relationship with Cummins, as one of their OEMs, by offering diesel
generator solutions and have maintained a relationship with them for over four decades. We supply a wide range of DG sets that
utilise Cummins engines and alternators, under a non-exclusive General Supply Agreement dated June 11, 2025 with Cummins
India. In Fiscal 2025, Cummins India was one of the leading engine manufacturers in the MHP and HHP ranges of DG sets in India
(Source: F&S Report).
As an OEM, we leverage Cummins’ extensive range of engines to design and develop DG sets for a variety of applications across
multiple industries. Our collaboration with Cummins extends to integration and testing of DG products in response to ongoing
technological and regulatory developments, particularly those concerning environmental and emission standards. Our ability to meet
customer demand and maintain profitability is influenced by Cummins’ production capacity, supply terms, and pricing decisions,
since these factors directly affect the pricing and availability of our DG sets. Additionally, in our MSLG business, we have
established a non-exclusive association with Hyundai since 2014, which strengthens our presence in both primary power and
emergency or high base load applications for continuous process industries. All Hyundai-sourced MSLG enquiries for India are
channelled through us, positioning us to capture ongoing growth opportunities in the segment. For further details of our relationship
with Cummins and Hyundai, see “Our Business – Strengths – Collaborations and Alliances with Established Industry Players” on
page 234.
While we continue to diversify our revenue streams, the performance of our Generator Set Business division and the demand for
Cummins and Hyundai products in India continue to have a material impact on our operational and financial results.
Impact of weather and seasonality on our operations
Weather conditions can have a significant effect on our Wind Power Business. The profitability of our wind power assets is directly
correlated to wind conditions at our asset sites. Variations in wind conditions occur because of fluctuations in wind currents on a
daily, monthly and seasonal basis and, over the long-term, as a result of more general climate changes. In particular, wind conditions
are generally tied to the monsoon season in India and are affected by the strength of each particular monsoon season. During the
period from March to September, which includes the monsoon season in several parts of India, we generate a majority of our annual
production during this period. Weather patterns are likely to have an influence on wind patterns in the states in which we operate
and, consequently on the resources generated by our wind power assets.
Achieving success in renewable energy project auctions
We participate in government-run auctions to secure new renewable energy projects, adopting a selective and strategic approach to
bidding. Our decisions are based on a thorough assessment of several key factors, ensuring that we focus on opportunities that align
with our strategic and financial objectives.
Before bidding, we evaluate the creditworthiness of the off-taker, local business conditions, government policies, land availability,
and the quality of renewable resources at the project site (such as irradiation or wind levels). We also consider capital costs, payment
cycles, grid infrastructure, and the competitive landscape. Additional considerations include whether the project meets our internal
return thresholds, the availability of essential infrastructure (such as transmission systems, water supply, roads, and communications
networks), and any auction-specific requirements on bid size.
Our strong track record in delivering large-scale renewable energy projects gives us a competitive edge in identifying and pursuing
the most attractive opportunities. However, we place bids only in auctions where the policy framework, incentives, and off-taker
credit profile meet our requirements. While our experience and expertise position us well, there is inherent uncertainty in the
outcome and timing of project awards. Auction rules and market dynamics may also shift, adding further unpredictability. As we
move forward, our continued success will depend on our ability to compete effectively, participating selectively in auctions that
385match our commercial, strategic, and risk criteria, and securing winning bids.
Operation and Maintenance of our Projects
Our wind power projects operate under a hybrid O&M model that combines long term service agreements with turbine
manufacturers and our own in-house operational capabilities. This approach is designed to ensure the efficient, reliable and cost
effective functioning of our wind power projects. Our principal turbine suppliers, Vestas and GERI, provide operations and
maintenance services under comprehensive long term contracts that typically range from five to 10 years. In some cases, these
contracts include complimentary service periods of two to three years. In addition to support from the original equipment
manufacturers, we have developed a dedicated in-house team that oversees maintenance activities across all project sites.
Our results of operations depend significantly on our ability to maximise electricity generation from our wind power projects by
maintaining high availability and minimising both planned and unplanned project downtime. Planned outages occur for inspections,
regulatory compliance, and necessary maintenance activities, and their number and duration can affect our operating results. Where
feasible, we seek to schedule these activities during periods when wind speeds are relatively low at the relevant project in order to
reduce the impact on generation volumes. Unplanned outages, even when covered by insurance, may still reduce project availability
and have a negative effect on our overall performance.
Government Policies and Initiatives
Government policies and initiatives play an important role in supporting clean energy and enhancing the economic feasibility of
developing such projects. In recent years, India has implemented a range of policies and subsidies to promote clean energy. Several
of our Operational Wind Power Projects benefit from both central government and state-level schemes, which provide a long-term
advantage and contribute to the projects’ viability. These regulatory initiatives have contributed to growth in overall demand for
clean energy, including for power generated by our Operational Wind Power Projects. Regulation also influences the revenue model
applicable to these projects, shaping how we structure agreements and forecast returns. The GoI has consistently expressed support
for clean energy, and has signalled its intention to continue strengthening these measures. Looking ahead, the introduction of
additional regulatory requirements or incentives has the potential to further increase demand for clean energy and may influence
future power prices.
The adoption of advanced emission control technologies, such as selective catalytic reduction, diesel particulate filters, and
electronic fuel injection systems, has led to a notable price hike of 15–20% for CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets compared to their
CPCB II counterparts. (Source: F&S Report) This is reflective of increased manufacturing costs and the use of BS-VI compliant
low-sulphur diesel. (Source: F&S Report) In addition to the technology costs, the implementation of CPCB IV+ norms has
introduced longer development cycles and more rigorous certification processes, further contributing to price escalation. (Source:
F&S Report) Manufacturers are now required to undergo extended testing protocols, emissions validation, and type approval
procedures through accredited agencies such as ARAI and ICAT. (Source: F&S Report) These added steps increase lead times and
operational overheads, as suppliers must adapt their supply chains, invest in new tooling and training, and ensure compliance at
every stage of production. (Source: F&S Report) Recognising the increasing demand for environmentally sustainable technologies
and stricter regulatory requirements, our Associate, Platino Automotive, has directed investment towards the development and
commercialisation of advanced RECDs.
Availability of skilled labour
We are heavily dependent on highly trained engineers and other skilled labour. The availability of skilled labour and trained
engineers will be crucial for our operations and as we expand our Generator Set Business and Wind Power Business. As of March
31, 2025, our manufacturing, projects, design and engineering team of our Generator Set business consisted of 455 personnel and
the operations, technical, project development and site management team of our Wind Power Business consisted of 126 personnel.
For a functional breakdown of our workforce, please see “Our Business – Human Resources” on page 257.
The power industry in general experiences sustained high demand and intense competition for skilled talent, making the attraction
and retention of engineers, qualified staff, and other highly skilled employees a key focus area for both our Generator Set Business
as well as our Wind Power Business. As we expand and our brand gains recognition across our existing and target markets, we
anticipate increased engagement with skilled professionals offering diverse career opportunities within our organisation. While we
are committed to investing in competitive remuneration, career development programmes, and a positive work culture to support
the continued growth of our team and the achievement of our business objectives, our ability to attract and retain suitable skilled
personnel will be crucial. Our ongoing efforts to attract and retain skilled personnel will contribute to the strength of our operations
and our ability to capitalise on new opportunities in the market.
Competition
The Generator Set Business is subject to intense competitive conditions, with respect to the technology, design, economy and quality
of generator sets. There are a number of competitors that possess a similar level of expertise, range of products and services and
cost structure, some of our competitors may have greater financial resources, access to more advanced technology, larger research
and development budgets or greater market penetration.
386The Wind Power Business is also subject to intense competitive conditions. Our competitors may have access to more suitable wind
sites or lower financing sources, or may enjoy incentives which are not available to us. Consequently, if competition in our lines of
business intensifies, we may experience increased pressure on our growth and profitability.
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Below is a list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement: Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are
measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if
any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase
taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its
intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. The cost of a
self- constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, and other cost directly
attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item
and restoring the site on which it is located.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs,
related incidental expenses and attributable interest. Advances given towards acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each balance
sheet date are disclosed as other non-current assets.
All identifiable revenue expenses including interest incurred in respect of various projects/ expansion, net of income earned during
the project development stage prior to its intended use, are considered as pre-operative expenses and disclosed under capital work-
in-progress. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequent expenditure: Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated
with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
Depreciation: Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over
their estimated useful lives prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 using the diminishing balance method except
in respect of the following category of assets, and is recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit or loss. Freehold
land is not depreciated.
Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Improvements on Leased Premises Over the period of lease
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date on which the asset is ready for use
(disposed of).
Intangible Assets
Recognition and measurement: Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are
attributable to the assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are stated at
cost or acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss, if any. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised
development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure
is incurred.
Amortisation: Software is amortised over a period of 3 years on straight line basis from the date they are available for intended use,
subject to impairment test. Rights of way are amortised over the period of agreement of right to use which ranges from 25 years to
99 years. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least
at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes
in accounting estimates.
De-recognition: Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss
when the assets is de-recognised.
387Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument
of another entity.
Financial Assets: Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement: All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement: For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two broad categories: (i)
Financial assets at fair value (FVTPL /FVTOCI); and (ii) Financial assets at amortised cost.
When assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised in the statement of profit and loss (i.e. fair value
through profit or loss (FVTPL)), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVTOCI)).
Financial Assets measured at amortised cost (net of any write down for impairment, if any): Financial assets are measured at
amortised cost when asset is held within a business model, whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows
and contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Such
financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method less impairment, if
any. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
Financial Assets measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”): Financial assets under this category are measured
initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value with all changes recognised in profit or loss.
Financial Assets measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”): Financial assets under this category
are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value, when asset is held within a business model, whose objective is
to hold assets for both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Fair value movements are recognized in the
other comprehensive income.
Investment in Equity Instruments: Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. All other equity
instruments are classified as FVTOCI. Fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the other
comprehensive income. There is no recycling of the amounts from other comprehensive income to profit or loss.
Investment in Debt Instruments: A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI. Any debt instrument, which does
not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. Debt instruments included
within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition of Financial Assets: A financial asset is primarily derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset
have expired or Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Impairment of Financial Assets: In accordance with Ind – AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are debt instruments and trade receivables.
Financial Liabilities
Classification: Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.
Initial recognition and measurement: All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans,
borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans
and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and
financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR
amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition of Financial Liabilities: A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-
recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
388Derivative Financial Instrument: Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to mitigate its
foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value
is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge Accounting
The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly
probable forecast transactions. The Group designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationships by applying the
hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value of these
forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in (OCI) and accumulated
in ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’ under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is
recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit & Loss. Amounts accumulated in the ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’ are
reclassified to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Statement of Profit
& Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is terminated, or exercised or no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in ‘Cash Flow
Hedge Reserve Account’ is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to
occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in ‘Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account’ is immediately transferred to the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the
higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate
cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash
Generating Unit to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset.
An impairment loss is reversed in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided
that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of accumulated amortisation or
depreciation) has no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
Inventories
In case of our Company and Subsidiary outside India: Raw materials are valued at lower of cost (on weighted average basis) or
estimated net realisable value. Cost for this purpose includes basic cost of materials and all identifiable direct cost and includes taxes
and duties and is net of eligible credits under GST schemes.
Finished goods are valued at lower of cost or estimated realisable value. Cost for this purpose comprises of Raw Material cost and
proportionate overheads allocated on the assumption of normal operating capacity.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost or estimated realisable value.
Work-in-progress are valued at estimated cost.
Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred up to the date of balance sheet. Materials and other items held for
use in production of inventories are not written down, if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at
or above cost.
In case of our Indian Subsidiaries: Work-in-Progress includes internal development cost, external development cost, construction
costs, overheads, borrowing costs, development/construction materials and are valued at cost/estimated cost.
Cash and Cash Equivalent: Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise of cash on hand and cash at bank including fixed deposit/highly
liquid investments with original maturity period of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash Flow Statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-
cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated
with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities of Group are segregated.
389Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Date of transaction for
determining the exchange rate for translation would be earlier of:
• The date of initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of
advance consideration, and
• The date that the related item is recognised in the financial statements.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the year-end are re-measured at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance
sheet date. Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost.
Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on restatement is recognised in the Restated
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except for:
Exchange differences on translation or settlement of long term foreign currency monetary items in respect of loans borrowed before
April 1, 2016 at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded or reported in the previous financial statements,
insofar as it relates to acquisition of depreciable assets, are adjusted to the cost of the assets and depreciated over remaining useful
life of such assets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers for sale of goods and provision of services. Revenue from contracts with customers is
recognized when control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
The Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
a) The Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternate use to the Group and the Group has as an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date.
b) The Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.
c) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group
performs.
For performance obligations where one of the above conditions are not met, revenue is recognized at the point in time at which the
performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of
payment and excluding taxes and duty.
The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. Taxes collected
on behalf of the government are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably.
Variable consideration includes volume discounts, price concessions, liquidity damages, incentives, etc. The Group estimates the
variable consideration with respect to above based on an analysis of accumulated historical experience. The Group adjust estimate
of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration
becomes fixed.
Sale of Products
Performance obligation in case of Revenue from sale of goods is satisfied at a point in time and is recognized when the performance
obligation is satisfied and control as per Ind AS 115 is transferred to the customer. The Group collects GST on behalf of the
Government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Group. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Revenue
is disclosed net of discounts, incentives and returns, as applicable.
Rendering of Services
Performance obligation in case of erection contracts is satisfied over the period of time. Since the group creates an asset that the
customer controls as the asset is created and the group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date if it
is meets the agreed specifications. Revenue from such contracts, where the outcome can be estimated reliably and 10% of the project
cost is incurred, is recognized under the percentage of completion method by reference to the stage of completion of the contract
activity. The stage of completion is measured by input method i.e. the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated
total costs of a contract. The total costs of contracts are estimated based on technical and other estimates. In the event that a loss is
390anticipated on a particular contract, provision is made for the estimated loss. Contract revenue earned in excess of billing is reflected
under as “Unbilled Revenues” and billing in excess of contract revenue is reflected under “Contract Liabilities”.
Dividend income is recognised when right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on effective interest
method. Insurance and other claims are recognised as a revenue on certainty of receipt on prudent basis.
Sale of Certified Emission Reductions (“CERs”) is recognised as income on the delivery of the CERs to the customer’s account as
evidenced by the receipt of confirmation of execution of delivery instructions.
Employee Benefits
In the case of our Company and Subsidiaries in India:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months rendering service are classified as short term employee benefits.
Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex
gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.
Defined benefit plans
Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan
provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount
based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with Group.
Liabilities with regard to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance
sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
In case of our Company, the Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Powerica Limited Employees Group Gratuity
Assurance Scheme (the “Trust”). Trustees administer contributions made to the Trust and contributions are invested in a scheme
with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by laws of India.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations
reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available
refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme. The group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its
balance sheet as an asset or liability. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the other comprehensive income for the
period in which they occur. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in the restated consolidated statement of profit and
loss.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to
such benefits. Group pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. Group has
no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution
plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as
an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Compensated absences
Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of
accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet
date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement
that has accumulated at the balance sheet date.
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee
renders the related services are recognised liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
In case of our Foreign Subsidiary:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months rendering service are classified as short term employee benefits.
Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex
gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.
Provision for employees’ end of service benefits is made in accordance with the respective Country labour laws and is based on the
current remuneration and period of service at the end of the reporting period. Provision is made for estimated liability for employees’
entitlement to annual leave as a result of services rendered by the employees up to the end of the reporting period.
391Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection
with the borrowing of funds.
Lease
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess
whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.
Group as a lessee
The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract
and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease
component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
Right-of-Use Assets: The Group recognizes right-of-use as set representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at
the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial
measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease
incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and
removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently
measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of
the lease liability.
The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or
useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of- use assets are determined on the same basis as those of
property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Lease Liabilities: The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannot
be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable
lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that
option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the
lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability,
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment
or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The group recognises the amount of the re-
measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss
depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a
further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement
in restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets: The Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to
short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.
The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group as a lessor: Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of
the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All
other leases are classified as operating leases. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term
of the relevant lease.
Earnings Per Equity Share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the restated net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by
dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered
for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
392Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the restated
consolidated statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is
recognized in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax: Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered
from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred income tax: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is
recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax
asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences and tax losses can be utilized.
The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized
amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Dividends to Shareholders
Annual dividend distribution to the shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by the
shareholders. Any interim dividend paid is recognised on approval by Board of Directors. Dividend payable and corresponding tax
on dividend distribution is recognised directly in equity.
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments
Provisions are recognised when Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions
(excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best
estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimates. If there is any expectation that some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is
recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented
in the statement of profit and loss net of any virtually certain reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
• possible obligation which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group, or
• present obligations arising from past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the
financial statements.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Fair Value
The Group measures financial instruments at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies mentioned above. Fair value is
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or,
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
393All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the restated financial statements are categorized within the
fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels, described as follows, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure value.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
Level 1 — quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Group determines whether transfers
have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”) of our Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performances of the operating
segments of the Company.
Business Combinations
Common control business combinations includes transactions, such as transfer of subsidiaries or businesses, between entities within
a group. Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control shall be accounted for using the pooling of
interests method.
The pooling of interest method is considered to involve the following:
i) The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.
ii) No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities. The only adjustments that are
made are to harmonise accounting policies.
iii) The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods should be restated as if the business
combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual
date of the combination. However, if business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information shall
be restated only from that date.
iv) The balance of the retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is aggregated with the
corresponding balance appearing in the financial statements of the transferee
Recent accounting pronouncement issued but not made effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS –
117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the
Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Group has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it
does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024
Income
Our total income increased by 15.03% from ₹2,356.77 crores for Fiscal 2024 to ₹2,710.93 crores for Fiscal 2025.
Revenue from operations. Our revenue from operations increased by 20.06% from ₹2,210.00 crores in Fiscal 2024 to ₹2,653.27
crores in Fiscal 2025. This growth was primarily due to the following factors:
• Revenue from HHP DG sets increased by 24.46%, driven by a 20.74% rise in volumes and a 3.08% improvement in per
unit realisation.
396• Revenue from LHP and MHP DG sets increased by 6.11%. This was driven by a 27.50% rise in per unit realisation, partially
offset by a 16.77% decrease in volumes. Effective July 1, 2024, the Central Pollution Control Board (“CPCB”) mandated
the use of CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets, which achieve higher realisation due to technological advancements. The
transition from CPCB II to CPCB IV+ compliance required around three months to implement, which temporarily affected
volumes.
• Revenue from the sale of other components relating to generator sets increased by 41.84%.
• Revenue from erection, installation and other services relating to our generator sets grew by 30.30%.
• Revenue from project development contract services in our EPC for BoP business increased by 137.02%. This significant
growth was primarily due to milestone-based revenue recognised for services provided for the following projects:
- land acquisition and development of a 174.90 MW wind power project, and land aggregation services for a 50
MW solar power project, both at Khambaliya, Gujarat, for Airpower Wind Farms Private Limited;
- acquisition of land for a 150 MW solar power project and a 411.50 MW wind power project, both at Beed,
Maharashtra, for Torrent Solar Power Private Limited; and
- construction of a 7.2 km, 400 kV transmission line, and a 220/400 kV substation for Torrent Solar Power Private
Limited.
This overall increase in revenue from operations was partially offset by a 7.02% decline in revenue from the sale of electricity
generated by our wind power projects, primarily due to fluctuations in wind velocity leading to reduced electricity generation.
Other income. Other income decreased by 60.71% from ₹146.77 crores in Fiscal 2024 to ₹57.66 crores in Fiscal 2025. This decline
was primarily due to:
• A 81.34% reduction in net gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment. In Fiscal 2024, we sold 16 WTGs from wind
power IPP projects in Tamil Nadu, resulting in a one time gain of ₹85.25 crores.
• A decrease in net gain on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), mainly due to lower
appreciation in the market value of investments compared to the previous financial year.
Expenses
Cost of raw materials consumed. Cost of raw materials consumed increased by 25.97% from ₹1,419.18 crores for Fiscal 2024 to
₹1,787.69 crores for Fiscal 2025 due to increase in purchase of raw materials procured for the increase in manufactured goods.
Further, the price of engines which forms the major cost, used in our LHP and MHP DG sets increased due to technological changes
mandated due to implementation of CPCB IV+ compliances.
Purchase of stock-in-trade. Purchase of stock-in-trade decreased by 51.51% from ₹25.78 crores for Fiscal 2024 to ₹12.50 crores for
Fiscal 2025, primarily due to reduction in purchase of traded goods during the year.
Changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in-progress and stock-in trade. Changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in-
progress and stock-in trade amounted to ₹14.00 crores in Fiscal 2025, as compared to ₹(7.22) crores in Fiscal 2024. This was
primarily attributable to an increase in inventory of finished goods, work in progress and stock in trade at the end of the year to
support increase in manufacturing activities.
Employee benefit expense. Our employee benefit expense increased by 0.72% from ₹113.46 crores for Fiscal 2024 to ₹114.28 crores
for Fiscal 2025 primarily as a result of an increase in the number of employees from 819 as of March 31, 2024 to 877 as of March
31, 2025 and increments given to employees during the year. The increase in employee benefit expenses was partially offset by
decrease in commission paid to the executive directors.
Finance cost. Our finance costs decreased by 20.55%, from ₹40.53 crore in Fiscal 2024 to ₹32.20 crore in Fiscal 2025. In Fiscal
2025, we began construction of the Orchid Phase 1 project at Khambaliya, Gujarat, for which we discounted letters of credit
(acceptances). The discounting charges incurred during the construction period were capitalised as part of the cost of the qualifying
asset, in line with Ind AS 23 – Borrowing Costs. There was no corresponding capitalisation of interest or discounting costs in Fiscal
2024. In addition, we repaid part of our term loans and certain letters of credit (acceptances) during Fiscal 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Our depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 9.00% from ₹127.98 crores for
Fiscal 2024 to ₹116.46 crores for Fiscal 2025. The decrease in depreciation expense is attributable to the diminishing balance method
due to which depreciation reduces over the asset’s useful life.
397Other expenses. Other expenses increased by 30.99% from ₹296.33 crores for Fiscal 2024 to ₹388.17 crores for Fiscal 2025. This
increase was primarily attributable to increase in project development contract cost by ₹60.41 crores in line with increase in revenue;
increase in operation and maintenance charges by ₹7.86 crores, primarily on account of completion of 2 years maintenance free
period for WTG’s installed and general increase. Further there was an increase in labour charges and erection expenses on account
of increase in erection, installation and other services rendered for our Generator Set Business.
Profit before tax. For the reasons discussed above, we recorded a restated profit before tax of ₹254.66 crores for Fiscal 2025 as
compared to ₹340.71 crores for Fiscal 2024.
Total tax expense. Our total tax expense decreased by 31.21% from ₹114.60 crores for Fiscal 2024 to ₹78.83 crores for Fiscal 2025.
This decrease was primarily attributable to lower profit before tax. Further, the tax charge was lower primarily on account of reversal
of deferred tax liability arising from the reduction in written down value (WDV) under the Income Tax Act and reduction in net gain
on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Profit for the year. For the various reasons discussed above, we recorded a restated profit after tax of ₹175.83 crores for Fiscal 2025
as compared to ₹226.11 crores for Fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023
Income
Our total income decreased by 2.71% from ₹2,422.42 crores in Fiscal 2023 to ₹2,356.77 crores for Fiscal 2024.
Revenue from operations. Our revenue from operations decreased by 7.07% from ₹2,378.26 crores in Fiscal 2023 to ₹2,210.00
crores in Fiscal 2024. The key factors contributing to this change were as follows:
• Revenue from HHP DG sets increased by 16.57%, due to a 15.27% rise in volumes and a 1.13% improvement in per unit
realisation.
• Revenue from LHP and MHP DG sets grew by 17.30%, driven by a 3.24% increase in volumes and a 13.62% increase in
per unit realisation.
• The CPCB’s mandate to adopt CPCB IV+ compliant DG sets, which are more expensive due to advanced technology,
prompted some customers to purchase CPCB II engines before the implementation deadline. Anticipating price increases,
these customers aimed to reduce costs, resulting in prebuying that led to higher sales volumes in Fiscal 2024.
• The increase in revenue from manufactured goods was partially offset by a decrease in sales of stock-in-trade for MSLG.
In Fiscal 2023, we delivered eight MSLG sets valued at ₹325.26 crores, following a successful bid for the delivery and
installation of these 6.3 MW sets for Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (“NPCIL”); this delivery was fulfilled
in Fiscal 2023.
• There was a further decrease in revenue from project development contracts, as the majority of work for contracts in hand
was completed in Fiscal 2023, with only the remaining portion delivered in Fiscal 2024.
• Revenue from erection, installation and other services rendered for our diesel generator sets increased by 24.91%.
• Revenue from electricity generated and sold from our wind power projects increased by 6.20%, primarily due to higher
wind velocity resulting in greater electricity generation.
Other income. Other income increased by 232.36% from ₹44.16 crores in Fiscal 2023 to ₹146.77 crores in Fiscal 2024, mainly due
to:
• A 577.67% increase in net gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment. In Fiscal 2024, we sold 16 WTGs from wind
power IPP projects in Tamil Nadu, resulting in a gain of ₹85.25 crores.
• A significant increase in net gain on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), compared to
the previous year, due to greater appreciation in the market value of investments.
Expenses
Cost of raw materials consumed. Cost of raw materials consumed increased by 11.98% from ₹1,267.34 crores in Fiscal 2023 to
₹1,419.18 crores in Fiscal 2024, primarily due to increase in purchase of raw materials procured for the increase in manufactured
goods.
Purchase of stock-in-trade. Purchase of stock-in-trade decreased by 91.63%, from ₹307.86 crore in Fiscal 2023 to ₹25.78 crore in
Fiscal 2024. This significant reduction is largely due to fulfilling a contract for delivery and installation of eight MSLG sets of 6.3
MW each for NPCIL in Fiscal 2023. The procurement and delivery for these sets was completed in that year.
398Changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in-progress and stock-in trade. Changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in-
progress and stock-in trade amounted to (₹7.22) crores in Fiscal 2024, compared to (₹6.92) crores in Fiscal 2023. This was primarily
attributable to an increase in inventory of finished goods, work in progress and stock in trade at the end of the year to support
increase in manufacturing activities.
Employee benefit expense. Our employee benefit expense increased by 19.63% from ₹94.84 crores in Fiscal 2023 to ₹113.46 crores
in Fiscal 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of employees from 764 as of March 31, 2023 to 819 as of March
31, 2024 and increments given to employees during the year.
Finance cost. Our finance costs decreased by 27.64% from ₹56.01 crores in Fiscal 2023 to ₹40.53 crores in Fiscal 2024, primarily
as a result of a decrease in interest expenses from ₹29.92 crores for Fiscal 2023 to ₹15.23 crores for Fiscal 2024 on account of a
decrease in outstanding indebtedness during Fiscal 2024 and a decrease in other borrowing costs from ₹26.09 crores for Fiscal 2023
to ₹ 25.05 crores for Fiscal 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Our depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 5.55% from ₹135.51 crores in
Fiscal 2023 to ₹127.98 crores in Fiscal 2024. The decrease in depreciation expense is primarily attributable to the diminishing
balance method due to which depreciation expense reduce over the asset’s useful life. Further, during Fiscal 2024, our Company
had sold 16 WTGs of wind power IPP projects in Tamil Nadu, for which depreciation was only charged for few months in Fiscal
2024.
Other expenses. Other expenses decreased by 19.42% from ₹367.74 crores in Fiscal 2023 to ₹296.33 crores in Fiscal 2024. This
decrease was primarily attributable to decrease in expenses towards project development contract on account of completion of major
work of the contracts in hand during Fiscal 2023.
Profit/(loss) before tax. For the reasons discussed above, we recorded a restated profit before tax of ₹340.71 crores for Fiscal 2024,
compared to ₹185.85 crores for Fiscal 2023.
Total tax expense. Our total tax expense (current and deferred) increased by 27.22% from ₹90.08 crores in Fiscal 2023 (current tax
₹32.76 crores plus deferred tax ₹57.32 crores) to ₹114.60 crores in Fiscal 2024 (current tax ₹76.17 crores plus deferred tax ₹38.43
crores), primarily attributable to changes in taxable profit and deferred tax calculations. Dyring the year Fiscal 2023, our Company
had commissioned 51.3 MW wind power projects. The property, plant and equipment for the said projects was eligible for additional
depreciation under the Income Tax Act, making us liable for lower a corporate tax rate under MAT in Fiscal 2023.
Profit for the year. For the various reasons discussed above, we recorded a restated profit after tax of ₹226.11 crores for Fiscal 2024,
compared to ₹106.45 crores for Fiscal 2023.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments were ₹397.76 crores. Our
financing requirements are primarily for:
• implementation of new wind power projects;
• increasing capacities / modification of our manufacturing unit for our DG set units;
• financing and servicing of our debt obligations;
• funding working capital needs; and
• maintenance and operation of projects;
• general corporate overheads.
We have primarily funded our growth through equity funding, bank borrowings, and internal cash flows. Our main uses of cash
have been, and will continue to be, supporting growth, particularly through long-term investments and the development of wind
power projects. We plan to meet our ongoing liquidity and capital requirements using these same sources. We consistently monitor
our funding levels to ensure we can meet the financial needs of our projects across construction, development, and operational
phases.

offset by a net gain on sale of property, plant and equipment of ₹16.25 crores and a net gain on financial assets measured at FVTPL
of ₹15.98 crores. Provision for doubtful advances and sundry balances written off contributed ₹2.52 crores and ₹0.15 crores,
respectively. Operating profit before working capital changes stood at ₹356.40 crores for Fiscal 2025. During Fiscal 2025, changes
in working capital primarily comprised a decrease in inventories of ₹62.67 crores and an increase in other current liabilities of

financial liabilities of ₹9.00 crores. After net direct taxes paid of ₹57.31 crores, net cash generated from operating activities totalled
₹256.44 crores for Fiscal 2025. This movement was primarily attributable to reduction in inventory and trade payables in Fiscal
2025 as compared to Fiscal 2024. Our Company has procured higher inventory on credit to cater to anticipated surge in demand for
CPCB II compliant DG sets before the implementation of CPCB IV+ norms.
Net cash generated from operating activities was ₹283.36 crores for Fiscal 2024. For Fiscal 2024, restated profit before tax was

current liabilities of ₹23.27 crores. After net direct tax payments of ₹60.21 crores, net cash generated from operating activities for
Fiscal 2024 was ₹283.36 crores. This inflow was mainly supported by increase in Trade Payables on account of higher procurements
of CPCB II compliant DG sets to cater to anticipated surge in demand before the implementation of CPCB IV+ norms.
Net cash generated from operating activities was ₹237.98 crores for Fiscal 2023. Restated profit before tax for Fiscal 2023 was
₹185.85 crores, with adjustments such as depreciation of ₹135.51 crores and interest expense of ₹56.01 crores, offset by net gains
on financial assets measured at FVTPL and on sale of property, plant and equipment of ₹7.35 crores and ₹12.85 crores, respectively.

Value, Net Worth, Return on Net-worth, and Net Asset Value per share (together, “Non-GAAP Measures”), presented in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus are supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity that is not required by, or presented in
accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS, U.S. GAAP or any other GAAP. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a
measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS, U.S. GAAP or any other GAAP and
should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit for the years or any other measure of
financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating,
investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS, U.S. GAAP or any other GAAP. In addition,
these Non-GAAP Measures are not standardized terms, hence a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Measures between
companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its
usefulness as a comparative measure. Although such Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in
accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in
evaluating us as they are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance. For further information see “Risk
Factors – We have included certain Non-GAAP Measures, industry metrics and key performance indicators related to our operations
and financial performance in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are subject to inherent measurement challenges. These Non-
GAAP Measures, industry metrics and key performance indicators may not be comparable with financial, or industry-related
statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies. Such supplemental financial and
operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool for investors and there can be no assurance that there
will not be any issues or such tools will be accurate going forward.” on page 69.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various types of market risks during the normal course of business. Market risk is the risk of loss related to
adverse changes in market prices, including interest rate risk and commodity risk. We are exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to
a financial loss. We are exposed to credit risk from our operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from our financing
activities. Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to our established policy, procedures and control relating
to customer credit risk management. We extend credit only to customers based on our past dealings and outstanding customer
receivables are being monitored by individual business managers located in those geographies. Typically, an appropriate letter of
credit / bank guarantee is obtained from the customers to cover the risk. As of March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our current trade
receivables were ₹399.26 crores, ₹318.49 crores and ₹262.28 crores, respectively. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to
the fact that our customer base is large. We do not have any single customer representing more than 5% of our total balance of trade
receivables.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet our present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring
unacceptable losses. Our approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet
our liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage
to our reputation.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Financial
instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables, loans and derivative financial
instruments. Our activities expose us to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and options to manage our
exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations, as per foreign exchange exposure policy adopted by us.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars. At any point in time, we cover
foreign currency risks by taking appropriate hedges as a percentage of our foreign currency exposure, in accordance with the policy
as approved by the Board. We use forward exchange contracts to mitigate our currency risk, most with a maturity of less than one
year from the reporting date. In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, our policy is to
ensure that our net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies through swaps and forwards.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long-term debt obligation
with floating interest rates. The risk is managed by us by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
The use of interest rate swaps are also entered into, especially to hedge the floating rate borrowings or to convert the foreign currency
floating interest rates to the domestic currency floating interest rates.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other
price risk for us arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments, liquid mutual funds, debt mutual funds and
bonds. We are exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in debt mutual funds, equity instruments, debentures and bonds
recognised at FVTPL. As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of such debt mutual funds, equity instruments, debentures and
bonds recognised at FVTPL was ₹366.06 crores (March 31, 2024: ₹333.41 crores and March 31, 2023: ₹383.30 crores).
403Unusual or Infrequent Events or Transactions
Except as described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, to our knowledge, there have been no unusual or infrequent events or
transactions that have in the past or may in the future affect our business operations or future financial performance.
KNOWN TRENDS OR UNCERTAINTIES
Our business has been affected and we expect that it will continue to be affected by the trends identified above in “- Significant
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and the uncertainties described in the section “Risk Factors”
on pages 385 and 31, respectively. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there are no known
factors which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our income.
FUTURE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COST AND INCOME
Other than as described in “Risk Factors” and this section, there are no known factors that might affect the future relationship
between cost and income.
SUPPLIERS
We rely on Cummins and Hyundai as key suppliers for our DG sets and MSLG businesses, respectively. In our Wind Power
Business, our principal suppliers and service providers for wind turbine generators, as well as O&M services, are Vestas and GERI.
For further details, please see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – We have historically relied, and may continue to rely, on
Cummins India and our top five suppliers for a significant portion of our materials and components. If these key suppliers fail to
deliver the required quantities, meet delivery schedules, or adhere to specified quality standards or technical specifications, our
business operations and financial condition could be adversely affected” on page 34.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
We expect to continue to compete with existing and potential competitors. For details, please refer to the discussions of our
competition in the sections “Risk Factors” and “Our Business” on pages 31 and 229, respectively.
SEASONALITY AND CYCLICALITY OF BUSINESS
Our revenues and results may be affected by seasonal factors. For example, inclement weather, including during the monsoon season,
may delay or disrupt production and shipment of our goods. Further, some of our customers may have businesses, which may be
seasonal in nature, and a downturn in demand for our products by such customers could reduce our revenue during such periods.
Revenue from our Operational Wind Power Projects is closely linked to electricity generation, which is largely determined by
environmental and weather conditions at our project sites. Weather variability and seasonality can significantly influence power
output and, consequently, profitability. Our investment decisions for each renewable project are informed by detailed on-site
assessments of historical and expected environmental conditions. Despite these efforts, operational outcomes for renewable energy
projects may still fluctuate due to natural seasonal and annual weather cycles. In addition, long-term shifts arising from climate
change or other external developments, such as human-induced events, may affect power generation. The availability of wind
directly influences electricity production. Factors such as cloudy weather, sandstorms, heavy rainfall, or insufficient wind can all
lead to decreased output. For further information, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – The performance of our Operational
Wind Power Projects is significantly affected by seasonality, regulatory requirements, and environmental and physical conditions,
all of which are subject to variability and unpredictability. Any adverse changes to these may negatively impact our business,
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.” on page 37.

As specified in the General Information Document, it is hereby clarified that bids received from FPIs bearing the same PAN shall
be treated as multiple Bids and are liable to be rejected, except for Bids from FPIs that utilize the multiple investment manager
structure in accordance with the Operational Guidelines for Foreign Portfolio Investors and Designated Depository Participants
issued to facilitate implementation of SEBI FPI Regulations (“MIM Structure”), provided such Bids have been made with different
beneficiary account numbers, Client IDs and DP IDs. Accordingly, it should be noted that multiple Bids received from FPIs, who
do not utilize the MIM Structure, and bear the same PAN, are liable to be rejected. In order to ensure valid Bids, FPIs making
multiple Bids using the same PAN, and with different beneficiary account numbers, Client IDs and DP IDs, are required to provide
a confirmation along with each of their Bid cum Application Forms that the relevant FPIs making multiple Bids utilize the MIM
Structure and indicate the name of their respective investment managers in such confirmation. In the absence of such confirmation
from the relevant FPIs, such multiple Bids are liable to be rejected. Further, in the following cases, the bids by FPIs will not be
considered as multiple Bids: involving (i) the MIM Structure and indicating the name of their respective investment managers in
such confirmation; (ii) offshore derivative instruments (“ODI”) which have obtained separate FPI registration for ODI and
proprietary derivative investments; (iii) sub funds or separate class of investors with segregated portfolio who obtain separate FPI
registration; (iv) FPI registrations granted at investment strategy level/sub fund level where a collective investment scheme or fund
has multiple investment strategies/sub-funds with identifiable differences and managed by a single investment manager; (v) multiple
branches in different jurisdictions of foreign bank registered as FPIs; (vi) Government and Government related investors registered
as Category 1 FPIs; and (vii) Entities registered as Collective Investment Scheme having multiple share classes.
448To ensure compliance with the above requirement, SEBI, pursuant to its circular dated July 13, 2018, has directed that at the time
of finalisation of the Basis of Allotment, the Registrar shall (i) use the PAN issued by the Income Tax Department of India for
checking compliance for a single FPI; and (ii) obtain validation from Depositories for the FPIs who have invested in the Offer to
ensure there is no breach of the investment limit, within the timelines for issue procedure, as prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
Subject to compliance with all applicable Indian laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and approvals in terms of Regulation 21 of the
SEBI FPI Regulations, an FPI, may issue, subscribe to or otherwise deal in offshore derivative instruments (as defined under the
SEBI FPI Regulations as any instrument, by whatever name called, which is issued overseas by a FPI against securities held by it
in India, as its underlying) directly or indirectly, only in the event (i) such offshore derivative instruments are issued only by persons
registered as Category I FPIs; (ii) such offshore derivative instruments are issued only to persons eligible for registration as Category
I FPIs; (iii) such offshore derivative instruments are issued after compliance with ‘know your client’ norms; and (iv) such other
conditions as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.
An FPI issuing offshore derivative instruments is also required to ensure that any transfer of offshore derivative instruments issued
by or on its behalf, is carried out subject to inter alia the following conditions:
(a) such offshore derivative instruments are transferred only to persons in accordance with Regulation 21(1) of the SEBI FPI
Regulations; and
(b) prior consent of the FPI is obtained for such transfer, except when the persons to whom the offshore derivative instruments
are to be transferred to are pre-approved by the FPI.
Participation of FPIs in the Offer shall be subject to the FEMA NDI Rules.
Please note that in terms of the General Information Document, the maximum Bid by any Bidder including QIB Bidder should not

that the Bid in the Bid cum Application Form “exceeds the Offer size and/or investment limit or maximum number of the Equity
Shares that can be held under applicable laws or regulations or maximum amount permissible under applicable laws or regulations,
or under the terms of the Red Herring Prospectus.”
For example, an FPI must ensure that any Bid by a single FPI and/ or an investor group (which means the same multiple entities
having common ownership directly or indirectly of more than 50% or common control) (collective, the “FPI Group”) shall be
below 10% of the total paid-up equity share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis. Any Bids by FPIs and/ or the FPI Group
(including but not limited to (a) FPIs Bidding through the MIM Structure; or (b) FPIs with separate registrations for offshore

460RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA.
While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in
different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Foreign
investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian companies, either through the automatic route or the approval
route, depending upon the sector in which foreign investment is sought to be made. The Government of India makes policy
announcements on FDI through press notes and press releases. The regulatory framework, over a period of time, thus, consists of
acts, regulations, press notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments. The DPIIT (formerly Department of
Industrial Policy & Promotion) issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular dated October 15, 2020, with effect from October 15,
2020 (the “FDI Policy”), which consolidates and supersedes all previous press note, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued
by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020.
The FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular. FDI in companies engaged in sectors/ activities which are
not listed in the Consolidated FDI Policy is permitted up to 100% of the paid-up share capital of such company under the automatic
route, subject to compliance with certain prescribed conditions. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies” beginning
on page 262.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided that
(i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the
provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI Policy;
and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/ RBI.
In terms of Press Note 3 of 2020, dated April 17, 2020 (“Press Note”), issued by the DPIIT, the FDI Policy and the FEMA (Non-
debt Instruments) Rules has been amended to state that all investments under the foreign direct investment route by entities of a
country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen
of any such country will require prior approval of the Government of India. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any
existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling
within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the
Government of India. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020, a
multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country
be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank of fund in India. Further, in accordance with the amendment to
the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 vide notification dated May 4, 2022 issued by Ministry of Corporate
Affairs, a declaration shall be inserted in the share transfer form stipulating whether government approval shall be required to be
obtained under Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 prior to transfer of shares, as applicable. Each
Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior approval of the
Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to
the Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period.
As per the FEMA NDI Rules and FDI Policy read with Press Note, 100% foreign direct investment is permitted under the automatic
route in our Company, however, investments under the foreign direct investment route by entities of a country which shares land
border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will
require prior approval of the Government of India.
For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, see “Offer Procedure – Bids by Eligible Non-
resident Indians (“NRIs”)” and “Offer Procedure – Bids by Foreign Portfolio Investors (“FPIs”)” on pages 447 and 448,
respectively.

and condition that this Article will have full effect.
