INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Report on Special Purpose Combined Financial statements of Restricted Group

To the Board of Directors of Azure Power Solar Energy Private Limited (“APSEPL”)

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the special purpose combined financial statements of Restricted Group which consist of Azure Power Solar Energy Private Limited (“the Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Azure Power Global Limited (“the Parent”) and certain entities under the common control of the Parent as listed in Note 1 to the special purpose combined financial statements (collectively known as “the Restricted Group” or “the RG”), which comprise the combined Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, the combined Statements of Profit & Loss including other comprehensive income, the combined Cash Flow Statements and the combined Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended March 31, 2022 and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as “special purpose combined financial statements”). These special purpose combined financials statements have been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation as set out in Note 3 to the special purpose combined financials statements.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of report of other auditor, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the special purpose combined financial statements of the Restricted Group for the year ended March 31, 2022 are prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation described in Note 3 to these special purpose combined financial statements.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The matters in Paragraph 1 below should be read with Note 46 to the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements which discusses certain key events of the year.

During the year and subsequent to the year end, the Parent, Azure Power India Private Limited (the subsidiary of the Parent) and certain entities under common control of the Parent (collectively referred to as the ‘Group’), have received several complaints via the Group’s common whistleblower mechanism. In response, the Board of Directors and Audit and Risk Committee of the Parent appointed external legal counsels to conduct investigations into the significant issues highlighted by the complaints. These issues include, but are not limited to, lapses in key control areas, governance issues, and problems with vendor management. Specifically, the whistleblower complaints allege misconducts such as obtaining invalid commissioning certificates through the submission of falsified information to regulatory bodies in one project and the concealment and misrepresentation of facts by former senior management to the Board of Directors of the Parent.

A special committee was constituted by the Board of Directors of the Parent (‘Special Committee’), to review certain material projects and contracts for anti-corruption and related compliance issues. Independent external counsel and forensic advisors were engaged to support the Special Committee. The Special Committee’s investigation has identified evidence that certain former senior management of the Parent may have been involved and certain former directors of the Parent may have had the knowledge of an apparent scheme with persons outside the Company to make improper payments in relation to certain projects. The Special Committee’s investigation is not yet complete. The current Board of Directors of the Parent has represented to us that none of them were aware of such apparent scheme. As informed by the management, no adjustments would be necessary in the financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Annexure 1 for the representation. In view of pending investigation, we are unable to comment whether the outcome of the investigation will result in possible adjustments and/or disclosures to the special purpose combined financial statements, and the status of compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

BDO India LLP, an Indian limited liability partnership firm, with LLP Identity No. AAB 7880, is a member of BDO International Limited,
a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

In a complaint directly related to the one of entity forming part of the Restricted Group, the external counsels have identified instances of irregularities in the process of selecting, approving scope of work, making payments to land aggregators for acquisition of land and land use rights through improper payments, and suspected involvement of the Company employees and the former senior management. The said acts may not be in compliance with the relevant applicable laws and regulations in India and the United States. Further, based on a review exercise of significant projects with respect to land aggregator costs, the Company has written off INR 1,349 lakhs in its books of accounts.

The Restricted Group functions within a shared control environment, and there are identified design deficiencies noted in some of the key controls in significant areas. These deficiencies constitute material weaknesses. These weaknesses could have impacted the external legal counsels’ capacity to ascertain the completeness of the information provided.

The issues mentioned above could lead to contractual, civil, and criminal consequences under both Indian and U.S. law, potentially affecting the Restricted Group. The impact, if any, on the Restricted Group’s special purpose combined financial statements is currently not unascertainable.

Refer Note 4 (i) of the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements, which describes the current accounting policy of the Viability Gap Funding. The Restricted Group has not accounted for Viability Gap Funding received under the government scheme in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 20 - Government Grants and Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments. Had the Restricted Group appropriately accounted for the Viability Gap Funding, the deferred revenue would have been lower by INR 72 million, Government Grant Receivable would have been lower by INR 21 million, and Retained Earnings would have been higher by INR 51 million as at March 31, 2021. Consequently, the current year’s revenue would have been higher by INR 39 million, interest income would have been higher by INR 13 million and profit before tax would have been higher by INR 52 million. Further, the deferred revenue would have been lower by INR 102 million and Government Grant Receivable would have been higher by INR 33 million as at March 31, 2022.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Restricted Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the Note 2 and 3 of the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements, which describes that the Restricted Group has not formed a separate legal group of entities during the year ended March 31, 2022, which also describes the basis of preparation, including the approach to and the purpose for preparing them. Consequently, the Restricted Group’s special purpose combined financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the financial performances and financial position of the Restricted Group that would have been presented has consolidated financial statements been prepared for the Restricted Group. The special purpose combined financial statements has been prepared solely to comply with financial reporting requirements under the indenture governing the Senior Notes. As a result, the special purpose combined financial statements may not be suitable for any other purpose.

Note 40 to the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements regarding the restatements carried out by the Restricted Group, in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 8 - “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” on account of retrospective adjustments pertaining to the matters as described in detail in the aforesaid note.

Note 49 to the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements which describes one of the covenants of the indentures for submission of Consolidated Annual Financial Statements by the Parent to the Securities Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) within the stipulated time. On October 31, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange (‘NYSE’) filed Form-25 notification of removal from listing with the SEC. The Restricted Group believes that the delisting would not have any impact on the above-mentioned terms of the indentures, as the Parent would continue to be a registrant with the SEC and accordingly, there would not be any breach of any covenants.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the special purpose combined financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of these special purpose combined financial statements in accordance with the basis of preparation as set out in note 3 to the special purpose combined financial statements and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of special purpose combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the special purpose combined financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the special purpose combined financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the special purpose combined financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these special purpose combined financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

●

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

●

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

●

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

●

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Head Office: The Ruby, Level 9, North West Wing, Senapati Bapat Marg, Dadar (W), Mumbai 400028, INDIA | Tel: +91 22 6228 0817

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Other Matters

We did not audit the financial statements of three entities forming part of these special purpose combined financial statements, whose financial statements reflect total assets of INR 1,635.16 million, total revenues of INR 216.14 million and total loss after tax of INR 30.66 million, as considered in the special purpose combined financial statements. The financial statements and other information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our conclusion on the special purpose combined financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these entities are based on the reports of the other auditors.

b)	The special purpose combined financial statements of the Restricted Group for the year ended March 31, 2021 were audited by another auditor, whose report dated July 28, 2021 expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matter.

Annexure 1

Azure Power Global Limited

Certified Extract of the Minutes of the Board Meeting of Azure Power Global Limited (the “Company”) held on 06 November 2023 at 05:00 p.m. (Mauritius Time).

“…4. Note of Representation for Auditors

It was noted that a Special Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) was convened in August 2022 to review certain material projects and contracts over a three-year period for anti-corruption and related compliance issues. Independent outside counsel and forensic advisors were engaged to support the Special Committee. The Special Committee’s investigation has identified evidence that individuals formerly affiliated with the Company may have had knowledge of, or were involved in, an apparent scheme with persons outside the Company to make improper payments in relation to certain projects. To date, the Special Committee has not identified related improper payments or transfers by the Group. The Special Committee’s investigation was still ongoing. The Special Committee’s review and its findings could impact the decision-making of the Company, in connection with such projects. The Company has disclosed the details of the Special Committee’s investigation to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Group continues to cooperate with those agencies.

In this context, the directors currently on the Board of the Company and its subsidiary company, Azure Power India Private Limited, have confirmed that none of them were aware of the apparent scheme referred to above other than through the Special Committee investigation.

Further, after due deliberation, it was concluded by the ARC that no adjustments would be necessary in the financial statements of the Company for FY 2022 as approved by the Board…”

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

2. Purpose of the special purpose combined financial statements

These are special purpose combined financial statements, which have been prepared for the purpose of complying with financial reporting requirements under the indenture governing the US$ Senior Notes. This Special Purpose combined financial statements presented herein reflect the Restricted Group - II’s results of operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows for the year presented. The basis of preparation and significant accounting policies used in preparation of these special purpose combined financial statements are set out in note 3 and 4 below.

3. Basis of preparation

The indenture governing the US$ Senior Notes requires Restricted Group – II to prepare Ind AS combined financial statements of the Restricted Group – II for the purpose of submission to the bond holders. The special purpose combined financial statements of the Restricted Group - II have been prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down by the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and disclosures (except Ind AS – 33 on Earnings Per Share) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and subsequent amendments thereto and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and the guidance note on Combined and Carve- out Financial Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

Management of the Company has prepared the Special Purpose Combined Financial Statements, which comprise the Combined Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, the Combined Statement of Profit and Loss including other comprehensive income, Combined Statement of Cash Flows and Combined Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended March 31, 2022, a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The items in the special purpose combined financial statements have been classified considering the principles under Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

The special purpose combined financial statements have been prepared on the accrual and going concern basis and the historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value or revalued amount;

⮚

Derivative financial instruments

⮚

Certain financial assets measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments)

As per the Guidance Note on Combined and Carve Out Financial Statements, the procedure for preparing combined financial statements of the combining entities is the same as that for consolidated financial statements as per the applicable Indian Accounting Standards. Accordingly, when combined financial statements are prepared, intra-group transactions and profits or losses are eliminated. All the inter group transactions are undertaken on Arms Lengths basis. There is no allocation of expenses within the Restricted Group - II. The information presented in the combined financial statements of the Restricted Group - II may not be representative of the position which may prevail after the transaction. The resulting financial position may not be that which might have existed if the combining businesses had been a stand-alone business.

Share capital and reserves disclosed in the combined financial statements is not the legal capital and reserves of the Restricted Group - II and is the aggregation of the share capital and reserves of the individual combining entities. Income taxes are arrived at by aggregation of the tax expenses actually incurred by the combining businesses, after considering the tax effects of any adjustments which is in accordance with the Guidance Note on Combined and Carve-Out Financial Statements issued by the ICAI.

Accordingly, the procedures followed for the preparation of the combined financial statements:

Combined like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the combining entities.

Eliminated in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the Restricted Group - II (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as fixed assets, are eliminated in full).

These Ind AS combined financial statements may not be necessarily indicative of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Restricted Group - II that would have occurred if it had operated as a separate stand-alone Group of entities during the year presented or the Restricted Group - II’s future performance.

The special purpose combined financial statements include the operation of entities in the Restricted Group - II, as if they had been managed together for the year presented.

Transactions that have taken place with the Unrestricted Group (i.e. other entities which are a part of the Group and not included in the Restricted Group - II of entities) have been disclosed in accordance of Ind AS 24, Related Party Disclosures.

The preparation of financial information in conformity with Ind AS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Restricted Group - II’s accounting policies.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

a) Current versus non-current classification

The Restricted Group - II presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

⮚

Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

⮚

Held primarily for the purpose of trading

⮚

Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

⮚

Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is:

⮚

Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

⮚

Held primarily for the purpose of trading

⮚

Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

⮚

There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as non-current assets/liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation/settlement in cash and cash equivalents. The companies have identified twelve months as their operating cycle for classification of their current assets and liabilities.

b) Property, Plant and equipment

Capital work-in-progress, property, plant and equipment (PPE) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long- term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Restricted Group - II depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Refer to note 13.1 and 39 regarding significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions and provisions for further information about the recorded decommissioning provision.

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised. The Restricted Group considers the cost of the replacement as the cost of the replaced part, when it was acquired or constructed, in case it is not practicable to determine the separate cost of the component of asset. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

c) Depreciation

Depreciation on property plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management. Considering the applicability of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the management has re-estimated useful lives and residual value of all of its property plant and equipment.

The management believes that depreciation rates currently used fairly reflects its estimate of the useful lives and residual value of the Property plant and equipment, though these rates in following cases are different from lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 based upon the nature of asset, the operating condition of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, past history of replacement and anticipated technological changes.

Category	Life as per Schedule II	Life considered
Furniture and fittings	10 years	5 years
Buildings	30 years	35 years
Vehicles	8/10 years	5 years
Office equipment	5 years	1-5 years

The identified components are depreciated over their useful lives; the remaining asset is depreciated over the life of the principal asset.

Assets individually costing less than INR 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

The assets’ residual values of not more than 10% of the original cost of the asset and useful lives are reviewed at each financial year end or whenever there are indicators for impairment and adjusted prospectively.

d) Capital work in progress (“CWIP”)

Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment that are not ready for use at the balance sheet date.

e) Leases

The Restricted Group-II assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Where the respective companies under the Restricted Group-II are lessees

The Restricted Group-II applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Restricted Group-II recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right of use assets

The Restricted Group-II recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of- use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Restricted Group-II at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section Impairment of non-financial assets.

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Restricted Group-II recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Restricted Group-II and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Restricted Group-II exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Restricted Group-II uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

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

The Restricted Group-II applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of assets that are considered to be of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

f) 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 capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing cost.

Hedging cost paid relates to borrowing of the group accordingly has been considered as part of finance cost.

g) 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.

Page 10 of 70

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Financial assets

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. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Restricted Group - II commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:

⮚

Debt instruments at amortised cost

⮚

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

⮚

Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL)

Debt instruments at amortised cost

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

The 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 (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. 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 in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The category applies to the Restricted Group - II’s trade receivables, unbilled revenue, other bank balances, security deposits etc.

Debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Restricted Group - II recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals in the statement of profit and loss and in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

Debt instrument at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

In addition, the Restricted Group - II may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’).

Debt instrument included within FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Derecognition:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Restricted Group - II’s balance sheet) when:

The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

The Restricted Group - II has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Restricted Group - II has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Restricted Group - II has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Restricted Group - II has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Restricted Group - II continues to recognize the asset to the extent of the Restricted Group - II’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Restricted Group - II also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Restricted Group - II has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Restricted Group - II could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Restricted Group - II applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

⮚

Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits, trade receivables and contract assets and bank balances

⮚

Financial asset that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI

⮚

Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115.

The Restricted Group - II follows ’simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Restricted Group - II to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Restricted Group - II determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in the subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on a 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events on a financial instrument that is possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

Page 12 of 70

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Restricted Group - II in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:

⮚

All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument

⮚

Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms

As a practical expedient, the Restricted Group - II uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) is recognized during the period as expense/ income in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses’ in the statement of profit and loss. The balance sheet presentation for financial instruments is described below:

For financial assets measured at amortised cost: ECL is presented as an allowance i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the Restricted Group - II does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Restricted Group - II combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of the directly attributable transaction costs.

The Restricted Group - II’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, including bank overdraft and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

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.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Restricted Group-II that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Restricted Group-II may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the 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.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized 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 derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Reclassification of financial assets

The Restricted Group - II determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Restricted Group - II senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Restricted Group - II’s operation. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Restricted Group - II either or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Restricted Group - II reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediate next reporting period following the change in the business model. The Restricted Group - II does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

The following table shows various reclassifications and how they are accounted for:

Original classification	Revised classification	Accounting treatment
Amortised cost	FVTPL	Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous amortized cost and fair value is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
FVTPL	Amortised Cost	Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount. EIR is calculated based on the new gross carrying amount.
Amortised cost	FVTOCI	Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous amortised cost and fair value is recognised in OCI. No change in EIR due to reclassification.
FVTOCI	Amortised cost	Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new amortised cost carrying amount. However, cumulative gain or loss in OCI is adjusted against fair value. Consequently, the asset is measured as if it had always been measured at amortised cost.
FVTPL	FVTOCI	Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new carrying amount. No other adjustment is required.
FVTOCI	FVTPL	Assets continue to be measured at fair value. Cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss the reclassification date.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

h) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

In the normal course of business, the Restricted Group – II uses derivative instruments for the purpose of mitigating the exposure from foreign currency fluctuation risks associated with forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies and to minimize earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and not for speculative trading purposes. These derivative contracts are purchased within the Restricted Group - II’s policy and are with counterparties that are highly rated financial institutions. 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. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss except for effective portion of cash flow hedges.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Restricted Group - II formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Restricted Group - II wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Restricted Group - II’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging/economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

The Restricted Group - II evaluates hedge effectiveness of cash flow hedges at the time a contract is entered into as well as on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedge is recorded as expense in the statement of profit and loss. The cost of effective portion of cash flow hedges is expensed over the period of the hedge contract.

Undesignated contracts

Changes in fair value of undesignated derivative contracts are reported directly in the statement of profit and loss along with the corresponding transaction gains and losses on the items being economically hedged. The Restricted Group - II enters into foreign exchange currency contracts to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange derivative contracts were entered into to hedge the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for recognized balance sheet items such as the Restricted Group - II’s U.S. dollar denominated borrowings. The Restricted Group - II has not designated the derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. Realized gains (losses) and changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses), net in the statements of profit and loss. These derivatives are not held for speculative or trading purposes.

The Restricted Group-II does not have any net investment in a foreign operation.

i) Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Restricted Group - II expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Restricted Group - II has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

Application of interpretation for Service Concession Arrangements (SCA)

The Management has assessed applicability of Appendix C of Indian Accounting Standards 115: Service Concession Arrangements for the power purchase agreement which the Restricted Group has entered into. In assessing the applicability of SCA, the management has exercised significant judgement in relation to the underlying ownership of the assets, the attached risks and rewards of ownership, residual interest and the fact that secondary lease periods are not at nominal lease rentals etc. in concluding that the arrangements don’t meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.

Sale of power

Revenue from sale of power is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or is determinable, solar energy kilowatts are supplied and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is based on the solar energy kilowatts actually supplied to customers (including the solar energy kilowatts supplied and not billed on reporting date) multiplied by the rate per kilo-watt hour agreed to in the respective PPAs. The solar energy kilowatts supplied by the Restricted Group - II are validated by the customer prior to billing and recognition of revenue.

The Restricted Group - II considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of power, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

Revenue from the recovery of Safe-guard duties and Goods and Service Tax under the change in law provision are recognized over the PPA period based on terms agreed with customers or unless agreed otherwise once collectability is reasonably assured. The revenue of Safe-guard duties and Goods and Service Tax for the year is recognized by the Restricted Group in proportion to the actual sale of solar energy kilowatts during the period to the total estimated sale of solar energy kilowatts during the tenure of the applicable power purchase agreement.

Viability Gap Funding (VGF)

The Restricted Group - II records the proceeds received from Viability Gap Funding (VGF) on fulfilment of the underlying conditions as deferred revenue. Such deferred VGF revenue is recognized as sale of power in proportion to the actual sale of solar energy kilowatts during the period to the total estimated sale of solar energy kilowatts during the tenure of the applicable power purchase agreement pursuant to the revenue recognition policy.

Interest income

For all debt instruments measured either at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Restricted Group - II estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

Income from carbon credit emission

Revenue from the sale of carbon credit emissions are recognized at the time of transfer of carbon credits to the customers, at consideration agreed under the sale agreements.

Rebates

In some Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), the Restricted Group - II provide rebates on invoice if payment is made before the due date. Rebates are offset against amounts payable by the customers. To estimate the variable consideration for the expected future rebate, the Group applies the most likely method.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Contract assets

A contract asset is initially recognised for revenue earned for its right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the entities forming part of Restricted Group - II perform by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before acceptance by the customer, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entities forming part of Restricted Group - II has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the entities forming part of Restricted Group - II transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the entities forming part of Restricted Group - II performs under the contract.

Trade receivables

A receivable represents the right of entities forming part of Restricted Group - II to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (g) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

j) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the group will comply all with all attached conditions.

Government grant relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the cost that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

Government grant relating to purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non- current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

k) Foreign currencies

The functional currency of APSEPL is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and presentation currency for special purpose combined financial statement of Restricted Group - II is Indian rupees (“INR”). The Restricted Group - II entities which are having operations in India, use INR as the functional currency. The financial statements of APSEPL are translated into INR using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, historical exchange rates for equity transactions and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of other equity.

Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which a respective entity under Restricted Group - II operates and is normally the currency in which the respective entity under the Restricted Group - II primarily generates and expends cash.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Restricted Entities at the functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition

Conversion

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Page 17 of 70

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Exchange differences

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement profit and loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or statement of profit and loss are also recognized in other comprehensive income or statement of profit and loss, respectively).

l) Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Restricted Group - II has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Restricted Group - II recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

Retirement benefit in the form of gratuity is a defined benefit scheme. The costs of providing benefits under the scheme are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial valuation is carried out for the plan using the projected unit credit method.

The Restricted Group - II presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Restricted Group - II has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability. The Restricted Group - II measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Restricted Group - II recognizes termination benefit as a liability and an expense when the Restricted Group - II has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, they are measured at present value of future cash flows using the discount rate determined by reference to market yields at the balance sheet date on government bonds.

The interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability. The Restricted Group - II recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

⮚

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

⮚

Interest expense.

m) Income taxes

Tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax of Restricted Group - II.

Page 18 of 70

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Current income tax

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

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Restricted Group shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either most likely method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, on carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax loss, subject to exceptions as below:

⮚

deferred income tax is not recognised on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

⮚

deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable on Restricted Group - II that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

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

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities of respective entities under Restricted Group - II are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entities intend to settle their current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

In the situations where one or more entities in the Restricted Group - II are entitled to a tax holiday under the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where they operate, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of temporary differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the concerned entity’s gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of temporary differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the temporary differences originate. However, the Restricted Group - II restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the temporary differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.

Page 19 of 70

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Current and deferred tax is recognised in the statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Minimum Alternate Tax

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the entities forming part of the Restricted Group - II will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the entities forming part of the Restricted Group - II.

n) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Restricted Group - II entities’ that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the respective Restricted Group - II entities’ chief operating decision maker(s) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. The Parent’s chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker.

The activities of Restricted Group - II entities mainly involve sale of electricity. Considering the nature of Restricted Group - II entities’ business and operations, there are no separate reportable operating segments in accordance with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard 108, ‘Operating Segments’ referred in to Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 and hence, there are no additional disclosures to be provided other than those already provided in the financial statements.

o) Provisions

General

Provisions are recognized when the Restricted Group - II has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Restricted Group - II expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any 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 risks 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.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Decommissioning liability

Upon the expiration of the lease agreement for solar power plants located on leasehold land, the Restricted Group - II is required to remove the solar power plant and restore the land. The Restricted Group - II records a provision for such decommissioning costs. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

p) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds recoverable amount and the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

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

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

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Restricted Group - II estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

q) Contingent assets/liabilities

Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, and is recognised as an asset.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Restricted Group - II or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Restricted Group - II does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

r) Fair value measurement

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

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Restricted Group - II.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Restricted Group - II uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

⮚

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

⮚

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

⮚

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Restricted Group - II 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.

The Restricted Group-II determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and liabilities, if any. At each reporting date, the Restricted Group- II analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Restricted Group-II’s accounting policies.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Restricted Group - II has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the notes 34 and 35.

s) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the combined statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

t) Events occurring after the balance sheet date

Impact of events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information materially effecting the determination of the amounts relating to conditions existing at the balance sheet date are adjusted to respective assets and liabilities.

The Restricted Group - II does not adjust the amounts recognised in its combined financial statements to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period.

The Restricted Group - II makes disclosures in the combined financial statements in cases of significant events.

u) Material prior period errors

Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the prior periods presented in which the error occurred. If the error occurred before the earliest period presented, the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest period presented, are restated.

v) Measurement of EBITDA

The Restricted Group - II has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Restricted Group - II measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/ (loss) from continuing operations. In its measurement, the Restricted Group - II does not include interest income, depreciation, finance cost and tax expense.

w) Changes in accounting policy and disclosures – New and amended standards

i) Other Amendments

A number of other amendments to existing standards also became effective on April 01, 2021 and have been adopted by the Restricted Group - II. The adoption of these new accounting pronouncements did not have a significant impact on the accounting policies, method of computation or presentation applied by the Restricted Group - II.

ii) Standards issued but not yet effective

The Restricted Group is currently evaluating the impact of the new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Restricted Group’s financial statements and does not expect to have significant impact on the Restricted Group’s financial statements. The Restricted Group has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued but is not yet effective. Refer the note “Standards notified but not yet effective” in Notes to Financial Statements.

b)	Contingent Liabilities:

A PIL had been initiated by certain individuals claiming to be wildlife experts/interested in conservation of wildlife, before the Supreme Court of India against various state governments such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and MNRE, MOP among others, seeking protection of the two endangered bird species, namely the GIB and the Lesser Florican found in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Supreme Court by way of order dated April 19, 2021 issued directions to: (i) underground all low voltage transmission lines, existing and future lines falling in potential and priority habitats of GIB, (ii) to convert all existing high voltage lines in priority and potential areas of GIB where found feasible within a period of one year, if not found feasible, the matter to be referred to the committee formed by the Supreme Court which will take a decision on feasibility, and (iii) to install bird diverters on all existing overhead lines in the interim.

We and many other developers have projects in the potential area as determined by the court, hence aggrieved by the order, the Solar Power Developers Association (“SPDA”) and Union of India have filed an application before the Supreme Court seeking among others, exemption from undergrounding of transmission lines in potential areas. The matter was last listed on November 30, 2022, whereby directions have been passed to parties to ensure installation of bird diverters in the Priority Area and for them to be in compliance with quality standards issued by the Supreme Court Committee. The PIL is presently pending. The SPDA has filed an application seeking modification of Supreme Court’s order dated April 19, 2021. If the modification application is dismissed, we might entail significant costs and delays. Based on evaluation of management the capital outflow for acquisition and installation of bird divertors are not material.

Hedging activities and derivatives

Contracts designated as Cash flow hedges

The Company hedged the foreign currency exposure risk related to certain investments in Restricted Group - II entities denominated in foreign currency through call spread option with full swap for coupon payments. The foreign currency forward contracts and options were not entered for trading or speculative purposes. The Company documented each hedging relationship and assessed its initial effectiveness on inception date and the subsequent effectiveness was tested on a quarterly basis using dollar offset method. When the relationship between the hedged items and hedging instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cashflows attributable to the hedged risk, the Company records in other comprehensive income the entire change in fair value of the designated hedging instrument that is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The gain or loss on the hedge contracts shall be reclassified to interest expense when the coupon payments and principal repayments are made on the related investments. The hedge contracts were effective as of March 31, 2022.

Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, permits recording the cost of hedge over the period of contract based on the effective interest rate method. The Restricted Group - II determined the cost of hedge at the time of inception of the contract was INR 4,064 million and recorded an expense of INR 821 million and INR 818 million during the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 respectively.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the price that would be received on selling of assets or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transactions between market participants at measurement date.

Investments in subsidiaries are classified as equity investments have been accounted at historical cost. Since these are scope out of Ind AS 109 for the purposes of measurement, the same have not been disclosed in the tables above.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Measured at fair value:

The fair values of respective companies under the Respective Group - II’s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using Discounted cash flow method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March 31, 2022 was assessed to be insignificant.

At amortised cost:

The fair values of the interest-bearing borrowings and loans of Restricted Group - II are determined by using DCF method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at 31 March 2022 was assessed to be insignificant.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The financial liabilities of respective entities under Restricted Group - II comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Restricted Group II’s operations. The Restricted Group - II’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial assets, as applicable.

The Restricted Group - II is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Restricted Group - II’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

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 two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and investment in mutual funds.

The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2022 and 31 March 31, 2021.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Financial instruments comprise of 5.65% Senior Notes, loans to related parties, term loans from banks and financial institution are fixed interest bearing. Remaining financial assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing.

The exposure of the Restricted Group - II’s financial instruments as at March 31, 2022 to interest rate risk is as follows:

As at March 31, 2022	Fixed rate financial instruments		Non-interest bearing		Total
Financial assets		3,333		3,187		6,520
Financial liabilities		34,097		-714		33,383

The exposure of the Restricted Group - II’s financial instruments as at March 31, 2021 to interest rate risk is as follows:

As at March 31, 2021	Fixed rate financial instruments		Non-interest bearing		Total
Financial assets		2,276		2,083		4,359
Financial liabilities		29,760		2,264		32,024

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Restricted Group - II’s fixed rate instruments are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Restricted Group - II is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency loan. The Restricted Group - II entities enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to mitigate fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in respect of these loans.

The following table analyses foreign currency risk from financial instruments relating to US$ as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Borrowings
- 5.65% Senior Notes (including interest accrued)		26,695		25,805

*	Including interest accrued but not due on borrowings of INR 404 million (March 31, 2021: INR 392 million).

Page 51 of 70

(All amount in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD/INR exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Restricted Group - II’s loss before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary liabilities.

		Change in USD rate		March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021
Effect on profit before tax (in INR)		+/(-)5	%	(-)/+1,335			(-)/+1,290

As the Restricted Group - II entities have entered into foreign exchange derivatives contract to mitigate the foreign exchange fluctuation risk, these derivatives act as economic hedges and will offset the impact of any fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Restricted Group - II is exposed to credit risk from their operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables and contract asset

Customer credit risk is managed on the basis of Restricted Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables and contract assets are regularly monitored. The Restricted Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivable and contract assets as high. However, since the trade receivables and contract assets mainly comprise of state utilities/government entities, the Restricted Group does not foresee any credit risk attached to receivables from such state utilities/government entities. The Restricted Group does not hold collateral as security.

Movement in expected credit loss on trade receivables during the year (refer note 4(g)):

	For the year ended			For the year ended
	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021
Opening balance		28			9
Changes in allowance for expected credit loss:
Additional provision during the year (refer note 24)		69			19
Reversal of provision during the year (refer note 20.2)		(8	)		-
Closing balance		89			28

Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Restricted Group’s treasury department in accordance with its policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counter party. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Restricted Group - II will encounter in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The approach of Restricted Group - II to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk damage to its reputation.

The Restricted Group - II assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Restricted Group has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(All amount in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

Non-current borrowings of Restricted Group - II includes INR 26,292 million of senior notes which may be subject to refinancing risk, when they becomes due, as market conditions may not be possible to refinance the bonds at all or to refinance the bonds on favourable terms. In addition, hedges taken on these bonds are covered from INR 70.9/USD to INR 93.0/US$, which may expose Restricted Group - II to additional hedging costs in the future. Furthermore, rating downgrade of India by Moody’s in past periods, as well as a negative outlook for India, may in future make global access to funds difficult.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Restricted Group - II’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Employee Benefits

(a) Defined contribution plan

The entities in Restricted Group - II make contribution towards provident fund to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan for qualifying employees. The contribution by entities in Restricted Group - II to the Employee Provident Fund is deposited with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner.

The Restricted Group - II has recognised INR 2 million during the year ended on March 31, 2022 (previous year INR 2 million) for provident fund contribution in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contribution payable to the plan by the Restricted Group - II is at the rate specified in the rules to the scheme.

(b) Defined benefit plan

Gratuity and other post-employment benefits

The Restricted Group - II has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The Scheme is unfunded and accrued cost is recognised through reserve in the accounts of the entities of the Restricted Group - II.

The following tables summaries the components of net benefit expense recognized in the profit and loss account and the unfunded status and amounts recognized in the balance sheet.

Net employee benefit expense (recognized in Employee Cost) for the year ended:

Retirement age		58 years			58 years

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

Risk exposure

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

Discount rate- Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the liability.

Salary escalation rate- Actual salary increases will increase the defined benefit liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations which in turn also increase the liability.

The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.

The Restricted Group - II does not have any plan assets. The Restricted Group - II has sufficient balance of Cash and cash equivalent to fund the liabilities that may arise in near future.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 11.73 years (March 31, 2021: 13.64 years).

Expected maturity analysis of the defined benefit plans in the next ten years are as follows:

39. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Restricted Group - II financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

A. Judgements

In the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

(i) Revenue from Viability Gap Funding (VGF)

(ii) Classification of leases:

The Restricted Group - II evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgement. The Restricted Group - II uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

The Restricted Group - II determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Restricted Group - II is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Restricted Group - II is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Restricted Group - II to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Restricted Group - II revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

B. Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Restricted Group - II based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Restricted Group - II. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(i) Revenue estimate

Where power purchase agreements (PPAs) include scheduled price changes, revenue is recognized at lower of the amount billed or by applying the average rate to the energy output estimated over the term of the PPA. The determination of the lesser amount is undertaken annually based on the cumulative amount that would have been recognized had each method been consistently applied from the beginning of the contract term. The Restricted Group - II estimates the total kilowatt hour units expected to be generated over the entire term of the PPA. The contractual rates are applied to this annual estimate to determine the total estimated revenue over the term of the PPA. The Restricted Group - II then uses the total estimated revenue and the total estimated kilo-watt hours to compute the average rate used to record revenue on the actual energy output supplied. The Restricted Group - II compares the actual energy supplied to the estimate of the energy expected to be generated over the remaining term of the PPA on a periodic basis, but at least annually. Based on this evaluation, the Restricted Group - II reassesses the energy output estimated over the remaining term of the PPA and adjusts the revenue recognized and deferred to date. The difference between actual billing and revenue recognized is recorded as deferred revenue. (Refer note 19)

(ii) Taxes

Projects of Restricted Group - II qualify for deduction from taxable income because its profits are attributable to undertakings engaged in development of solar power projects under section 80-IA of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. This holiday is available for a period of ten consecutive years out of fifteen years beginning from the year in which the Restricted Group - II generates power (“Tax Holiday Period”), however, the exemption is only available to the projects completed on or before March 31, 2017. The Restricted Group - II anticipates that it will claim the aforesaid deduction in the last ten years out of fifteen years beginning with the year in which the Restricted Group - II generates power and when it has taxable income. Accordingly, its current operations are taxable at the normally applicable tax rates. Due to the Tax Holiday Period, a substantial portion of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Restricted Group - II’s assets and liabilities do not have any tax consequences as they are expected to reverse within the Tax Holiday Period. (Refer note 18)

(iii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.

Assumptions include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. (Refer note 34)

(iv) Provision for decommissioning

The Restricted Group - II has recognised provisions for the future decommissioning of solar power plants set up on leased land at the end of the lease term. In determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the plant from the leased land and the expected timing of those costs. The carrying amount of the provision as at March 31, 2022: INR 245 million (March 31, 2021: INR 257 million). The Restricted Group - II estimates that the costs would be settled upon the expiration of the lease and calculates the provision using the DCF method based on the following assumptions:

►

Estimated range of cost per megawatt – INR 0.39 million to INR 0.45 million (March 31, 2021: INR 0.39 million to INR 0.45 million)

►

Discount rate – 8.5% (March 31, 2021: 6.9% p.a.)

►

Inflation rate – 8.0% (March 31, 2021: 6.9% p.a.)

(v) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment

Depreciation on property plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management. Considering the applicability of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the management has re-estimated useful lives and residual value of all of its property plant and equipment. The management believes that depreciation rates currently used fairly reflects its estimate of the useful lives and residual value of the Property plant and equipment, though these rates in certain cases are different from lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Based on legal opinion obtained, management is of the view that application of CERC and/or SERC rates for the purpose of accounting of depreciation expense is not mandatory. Hence, the Restricted Group - II is depreciating the assets based on life as determined by the management. During the current year, the Restricted Group - II basis the technical assessment, have revised the useful lives of solar power project assets i.e. plant and machinery (excluding inverter) and building from 25 years to 35 years. These changes have been considered as change on accounting estimate as per Indas 8 (Accounting policies, change in accounting estimates and errors) and have been accounting for prospectively with effect from April 1, 2021. (Refer note 5 and 22)

The effect of these changes on actual and expected depreciation expense is as follows:

	Increase / (Decrease)
Financial year 2021-22	(914		)
Financial year 2022-23		(909	)
Financial year 2023-24		(909	)
Later		2,732

(vi) Hedging activities and derivatives

The Company has issued 5.65% Senior Notes in September 2019, listed on the Singapore Exchange Limited (“SGX”). The proceeds were used for repayment of loan of Restricted Group entities, in the form of intercompany Non-Convertible Debentures (NCD) and External Commercial Borrowings (ECB’s) denominated in INR. The exchange rate risk on the proceeds invested from the US$ Senior Notes are hedged through cross currency swap for payment of coupons and through call spread option contracts for repayment of principal (collectively “Option contracts”). The Restricted Group - II designated these option contracts as a cashflow hedge. These options contracts mitigate the exchange rate risk associated with the forecasted transaction for semi-annual repayment of coupon and for repayment of the principal balance at the end of five years.

The cashflow from the underlying agreement match the terms of a hedge such as – notional amount, maturity of the option contracts, mitigation of exchange rate risk, and there are no significant changes in the counter party risk, hence they are designated as a cashflow hedge in accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. (Refer note 32).

(vii) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next remaining useful life of the projects Restricted Group - II entities. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

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

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds where remaining maturity of such bond correspond to expected term of defined benefit obligation. For plans operated outside India, the management considers the interest rates of high quality corporate bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation with at least an ‘AA’ rating or above, as set by an internationally acknowledged rating agency, and extrapolated as needed along the yield curve to correspond with the expected term of the defined benefit obligation. The underlying bonds are further reviewed for quality. Those having excessive credit spreads are excluded from the analysis of bonds on which the discount rate is based, on the basis that they do not represent high quality corporate bonds.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries.

Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 38.

(ix) Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates. (Refer note 30)

(x) Key assumption about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources in case of Income Tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, legal interpretations of various other acts/laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the long term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Restricted Group-II establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.

(xi) Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets

The Restricted Group- II follows ’simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. As concluded by the management that there is no risk of default from the DISCOMs/State Government bodies being a state government entities. Accordingly, no provision for default risk is required for receivables from DISCOM. As per the requirements of Ind AS 109, on subsequent measurement, the management while making ECL assessment considered the past experience with the Government of honouring its commitments and the strong capacity and ability of the Government to meet its contractual cash flow obligations.

(iv) Notes on restatement

(a) Depreciation

During the current year, the Restricted Group - II has recomputed depreciation on property, plant and equipment as per accounting policy and has corrected certain errors through restating the financial statement. As at April 1, 2020, the Company has decreased carrying value of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings by INR 19 millions. Further, the Company has increased depreciation expense by INR 14 millions for the year ended March 31, 2021.

(b) Amortisation of right of use asset

During the current year, the Restricted Group - II has observed an accounting error during re-computation of depreciation on right of use assets. Accordingly, the Company has increased the carrying value of right of use asset with a corresponding increase in retained earnings by INR 1 millions in the opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2020.

(c) Management fees

The Restricted Group - II has restated its other expenses for the year ended 31 March 2021 by INR 68 millions on account of management fee pertaining to previous year charged by the Parent Company in current year.

(d) Interest on delay in payment of income taxes

During the current year, the Restricted Group - II identified interest liability in respect of delay in payment of income tax for the financial year 2020-21. The Restricted Group - II has accordingly restated previous year ended March 31, 2021 balances and has increased finance cost and reduced income tax assets by INR 1 millions.

Restricted Group - II
Notes to special purpose combined financial statements
(All amount in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

(e) Tax expense

During the current year, the Restricted Group - II determined that the financial statements for the prior periods had differences in reported numbers as compared to Income Tax returns filed with the authorities and noted certain errors under computation of taxes for amounts reversing within tax holiday period. Accordingly, the Restricted Group - II has restated its financial statement during current year. The restatement has had the following impact on the financial statements:

	April 1, 2020			FY 2020-21			March 31, 2021
Current tax expense		-			3			-
Income tax assets		(1	)		(1	)		(2	)
Current tax liabilities		(1	)		2			1
Other equity		-			-			(3	)

	April 1, 2020			FY 2020-21			March 31, 2021
Deferred tax expense		-			147			-
Deferred tax assets		16			(13	)		3
Deferred tax liabilities		(82	)		134			52
Other equity		98			-			(49	)

(f) Other equity

The above adjustments resulted in increase in retained earning as at 1 April 2020 by INR 80 millions. Further there is an increase in loss for the year ended March 31, 2021 by INR 230 millions and corresponding decrease in retained earning for the year ended March 31, 2021.

42. Impairment of assets

During fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, The Parent has identified certain subsidiaries to sell off on a going concern basis, forming part of our Rooftop business. Out of this identified portfolio, during the current year, Azure Power India Private Limited (APIPL) and Azure Power Rooftop Pvt. Ltd (APRPL), being the Subsidiaries of Parent have entered into a contract with Radiance Renewables Pvt. Ltd. (“Radiance”) to sell certain subsidiaries (the “Rooftop Subsidiaries”) with an operating capacity of 153 MW, for INR 5,350 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments (the “Rooftop Sale Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rooftop Sale Agreement, Radiance will acquire 100% of the equity ownership of the Rooftop Subsidiaries owned by APIPL and APRPL, respectively.

Further, as per the terms of the Rooftop Sale Agreement in respect of the 33.2 MWs capacity which are operated through certain subsidiaries of Holding Company, referred as entities of the Restricted Group (which had issued Senior Notes/Green Bonds during previous years), 48.6% of the equity ownership have been transferred to Radiance during the year, and pursuant to the terms of these Green Bonds, the remaining 51.4% can only be transferred post refinancing of Green Bonds. Further, in the event the above sale transaction does not occur, the Group must reimburse Radiance the equity value of the assets not transferred along with an 10.5% per annum equity return.

The Group has determined that the decision to sell the Rooftop Subsidiaries and execution of the Rooftop Sale Agreement are indicators of impairment and therefore the Group has undertaken an impairment assessment for the Rooftop Subsidiaries.

The Restricted group entities used the Sale price in the Rooftop Sale Agreement of INR 924 million as its best estimate of the recoverable value and accordingly, an impairment loss of INR Nil million (INR 644 million in fiscal year ended March 31, 2021) was recorded in relation to the Property, plant and equipment. Further, the Restricted Group - II has adjusted capex payable amounting to INR Nil million (INR 166 million in fiscal year ended March 31, 2021), payable to group company in reference to the above sale agreement and accordingly has adjusted carrying value of assets.

43. Standards notified but not yet effective

The following new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the financial statements which are not expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the company are disclosed below:

(a) Ind AS 16 – Property, Plant and equipment:

The amendment clarifies that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognised in the profit or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant and equipment. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2022. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

(b) Ind AS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:

The amendment specifies that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract). The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

(c) Ind AS 109 – Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021):

The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ’10 percent’ test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

(d) Ind AS 106 – Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021):

The amendments remove the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how lease incentives were described in that illustration. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

46. Whistle blower complaint

During the year and subsequent to the year end, the Group received whistle-blower complaints on various matters, including lapses in internal control for certain key areas, governance and vendor management. The Board of Directors of the ultimate holding company engaged external counsel to undertake investigations on the allegations thereof. None of those allegations pertain to the Restricted Group and therefore no adjustment was required to be made in the books on account. However, some of the Group companies have made certain adjustments in the books of account as a prudent measure. Further, in one of the ongoing investigation (“Special Committee”) in relation to material projects of the Group, the Special Committee have identified evidence that certain former executives were involved in an apparent scheme with persons outside the Group to make improper payments in relation to certain projects. Further, the counsels have identified some evidence that certain former board members of the ultimate holding company might have knowledge of and/or involved in the said apparent scheme. To date, the Special Committee has not identified related improper payments or transfers by the Group. The Special Committee’s investigation is still ongoing. The Special Committee’s review and its findings could impact our decision-making in connection with such projects. The Group has disclosed the details of the Special Committee’s investigation to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Group continues to cooperate with those agencies. The current members of the Board of Directors of the ultimate holding Company have confirmed that none of them were aware of the apparent scheme referred to above other than through the Special Committee investigation.

Further, in September 2022, the Group received an additional whistle-blower complaint primarily making similar allegations of misconduct as raised in the one of the earlier complaint, as well as allegations of misconduct related to joint ventures and land acquisition, allegations of our failure to be transparent with the market and advisors and other allegations. The Ethics Committee, supervised by the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee, with the support of external counsel and forensic accounting professionals, investigated these September 2022 allegations. The investigation of the September 2022 complaint identified significant control issues in the process of acquiring land and land use rights in relation to the one of the entities forming part of Restricted Group. The investigation concluded that third party land aggregators may have been involved in improper payments but no improper transfer of money by the Group was identified. We have made an adjustment (de-capitalization) in the books of accounts of INR 1,349 Lakhs on estimate, as a prudent measure in the Restricted Group.

The Group remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the principles of transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in all areas of its operations and it will continue to monitor and assess our internal processes to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

47. The Restricted Group-II is in process of conducting a transfer pricing study as required by the transfer pricing regulations under the income tax act (‘regulations’) to determine whether the transactions entered during the year ended March 31, 2022 with associated enterprises were undertaken at arms length price. The Management confirms that all the transactions with associate enterprises are undertaken at arm length prices and is confident that the aforesaid regulations will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

48. As per the provision of the Companies Act, 2013, a company is required to convene the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) for adoption of its annual audited financial statements within the six months from the end of the financial year, i.e. September 30, 2022. Considering the investigations mentioned above, the Restricted Group- II SPVs have not been able to hold the AGM till date. Consequently, given that the Restricted Group- II SPVs has not held the AGM by September 30, 2022 which was further extended by 3 months to December 31, 2022 based on the extension obtained from Registrar of Companies (“ROC”), the Restricted Group- II SPVs are now required to apply for compounding of the Offence and liable to pay penalties as may be imposed by ROC, Management is unable to ascertain the amount of penalties for the Offence and hence no accruals for the same has been taken in these financial statements.

49. As per Bond indenture agreement, the restricted group is mandated to submit its Combined Annual Financial Statements within 30 days following the submission of financials by the Parent Company to the Securities Exchange Commission (’SEC’). However, if the Parent Company does not files the said results with SEC, the Group has a window of 120 days post the fiscal year-end to file these financials. On October 31, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange (‘NYSE’) filed Form-25 notification of removal from listing with the SEC. However, considering the legal opinion obtained by the parent Company, the Group believes, that the said delisting would not have any impact on the above mentioned covenant, as the Parent Company would continue to be a registrant with the SEC.

The increase in revenue was primarily on account of increase in carbon credit emission related income by INR 492 million.

Total operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the Restricted Group - II increased by INR 414 million, to INR 935 million during the year ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily on account of increase in management consultancy charges by INR 95 million, increase in allowance for doubtful receivables by INR 50 million, increase in assets written off by 156 million and increase in repair and maintenance cost pertaining to plant and machinery by INR 38 million.

Depreciation and amortisation expense

Decrease in depreciation and amortisation expense is primarily on account of change in estimate for useful life of assets (i.e. Plant & Machinery) from 25 years to 35 years.

Finance Cost

Finance cost for the Restricted Group - II decreased by INR 12 million, to INR 2,905 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2021.

	For Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
Cash Flow Data	2022 INR			2021 INR			Change INR
	(In millions)			(In millions)			(In millions)

Operating Activities

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Restricted Group - II generated net cash flow from operating activities amounting to INR 4,309 million, as compared to INR 4,428 million during the year ended March 31, 2021, primarily on account of decrease in working capital changes by INR 439 million with lower collections from customer during current year as compared to previous year and decrease in current liabilities.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2022, was INR 1,645 million, as compared to cash used in investing activities of INR 1,690 million during the year ended March 31, 2021. Decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower (net) investment in term deposits with banks and Inter- Company loans by INR 258 million as compared to the previous year partially offset by increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment for projects amounting by INR 205 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was INR 2,438 million for the year ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cash used in financing activities of INR 3,546 million during the year ended March 31, 2021. The lower cash outflow in the current year was primarily on account of proceeds from borrowing of INR 232 million, lower payment of hedging charges on Green bonds and interest cost by INR 794 million as compared to previous year.

Liquidity Position

As of March 31, 2022, Restricted Group - II had INR 2,380 million of cash, cash equivalents and other bank balances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Report on Special Purpose Combined Financial statements of Restricted Group

To the Board of Directors of Azure Power Energy Limited (“APEL”)

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the special purpose combined financial statements of Restricted Group which consist of Azure Power Energy Limited (“the Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Azure Power Global Limited (“the Parent”) and certain entities under the common control of the Parent as listed in Note 1 to the special purpose combined financial statements (collectively known as “the Restricted Group” or “the RG”), which comprise the combined Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, the combined Statements of Profit & Loss including other comprehensive income, the combined Cash Flow Statements and the combined Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended March 31, 2022 and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as “special purpose combined financial statements”). These special purpose combined financials statements have been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation as set out in Note 3 to the special purpose combined financials statements.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the special purpose combined financial statements of the Restricted Group for the year ended March 31, 2022 are prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation described in Note 3 to these special purpose combined financial statements.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The matters in Paragraph 1 below should be read with Note 45 to the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements which discusses certain key events of the year.

During the year and subsequent to the year end, the Parent, Azure Power India Private Limited (the subsidiary of the Parent) and certain entities under the common control of the Parent (collectively referred to as the ‘Group”), have received several complaints via the Group’s common whistleblower mechanism. In response, the Board of Directors and Audit and Risk Committee of the Parent appointed external legal counsels to conduct investigations into the significant issues highlighted by the complaints. These issues include, but are not limited to, lapses in key control areas, governance issues, and problems with vendor management. Specifically, the whistleblower complaints allege misconducts such as obtaining invalid commissioning certificates through the submission of falsified information to regulatory bodies in one project and the concealment and misrepresentation of facts by former senior management to the Board of Directors of the Parent.

A special committee was constituted by the Board of Directors of the Parent (‘the Special Committee’), to review certain material projects and contracts for anti-corruption and related compliance issues. Independent external counsel and forensic advisors were engaged to support the Special Committee. The Special Committee’s investigation has identified evidence that certain former senior management of the Parent may have been involved and certain former directors of the Parent may have had the knowledge of an apparent scheme with persons outside the Company to make improper payments in relation to certain projects. The Special Committee’s investigation is not yet complete. The current Board of Directors of the Parent has represented to us that none of them were aware of such apparent scheme. As informed by the management, no adjustments would be necessary in the special purpose combined financial statements of the Restricted Group’s financial year ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Annexure 1 for the representation. In view of pending investigation, we are unable to comment whether the outcome of the investigation will result in possible adjustments and/or disclosures to the special purpose combined financial statements, and the status of compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

	The Restricted Group functions within a shared control environment, and there are identified design deficiencies noted in some of the key controls in significant areas. These deficiencies constitute material weaknesses. These weaknesses could have impacted the external legal counsels’ capacity to ascertain the completeness of the information provided.

	The issues mentioned above could lead to contractual, civil, and criminal consequences under both Indian and U.S. law, potentially affecting the Restricted Group. The impact, if any, on the Restricted Group’s special purpose combined financial statements is currently not unascertainable.

Refer Note 4 (i) of the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements, which describes the current accounting policy of the Viability Gap Funding. The Restricted Group has not accounted for Viability Gap Funding received under the government scheme in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 20 - Government Grants and Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments. Had the Restricted Group appropriately accounted for the Viability Gap Funding, the deferred revenue would have been lower by INR 180 million and Retained Earnings would have been higher by INR 180 million as at March 31, 2021. Consequently, the current year’s revenue would have been higher by INR 86 million and profit before tax would have been higher by INR 86 million. Further, the deferred revenue would have been lower by INR 266 million as at March 31, 2022 and Retained Earnings would have been higher by the same amount.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the special purpose financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Restricted Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the special purpose combined financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

a.)

b.)

Note 39 to the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements regarding the restatements carried out by the Restricted Group, in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 8 - “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” on account of retrospective adjustments pertaining to the matters as described in detail in the aforesaid note.

c.)

Note 48 to the accompanying special purpose combined financial statements which describes one of the covenants of the indentures for submission of Consolidated Annual Financial Statements by the Parent to the Securities Exchange Commission (’SEC’) within the stipulated time. On October 31, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange (‘NYSE’) filed Form-25 notification of removal from listing with the SEC. The Restricted Group believes that the delisting would not have any impact on the above-mentioned terms of the indentures, as the Parent would continue to be a registrant with the SEC and accordingly, there would not be any breach of any covenants.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the special purpose combined financial statements

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the special purpose combined financial statements

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

●

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

●

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the special purpose combined financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Other Matters

The special purpose combined financial statements of the Restricted Group for the year ended March 31, 2021 were audited by another auditor, whose report dated July 28, 2021 expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

1.	General Information

Azure Power Energy Limited (“APEL” or “the Company”) was incorporated on June 15, 2017 as a public company limited by shares incorporated under laws of Mauritius. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Azure Power Global Limited (the “Parent”) and has its registered office at C/o. AAA Global Services Ltd., 1^st Floor, The Exchange 18 Cybercity, Ebene, Mauritius. The Company and certain subsidiaries of Azure Power India Private Limited (APIPL), collectively “The Restricted Group Entities” and “Restricted Entity” individually (as listed below) carry out business activities relating to generation of electricity through non-conventional renewable energy sources engaged in the ownership, maintenance and management of solar power plants and generation of solar energy based on long-term contracts (power purchase agreements or “PPA”) with Indian government entities as well as other non-governmental energy distribution companies and commercial customers. APEL is duly registered as Foreign Portfolio Investor Entity with the Securities Exchange Board of India for investing in debt instruments in India on July 7, 2017.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company had issued US$ Senior Notes to institutional investors and is listed on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST). APEL invested the proceeds, net of issue expenses in Non-Convertible Debentures (“NCDs”) and External commercial borrowings (“ECBs”) to replace existing Rupee and external debt of Restricted Group entities. Restricted entities are directly or indirectly under common control of the parent. APEL and restricted entities have been considered as “Restricted Group” for the purpose of financial reporting.

During the current year, the Company has issued Solar Green bonds (the “Bond”) of US $414 Million, at coupon of 3.575% maturing in 2026. The proceeds from this bonds were used to repay the existing 5.50% US$ 500 Million Solar Green Bond issued in 2017. The Bond has a tenor of 5 years with amortisation and waterfall structures and is a leverage-positive transaction for the Group

2.	Purpose of the special purpose combined financial statements

These are special purpose combined financial statements, which have been prepared for the purpose of complying with financial reporting requirements under the indenture governing the US$ Senior Notes. This special purpose combined financial statements presented herein reflect the Restricted Group’s results of operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows for the year presented. The basis of preparation and significant accounting policies used in preparation of these special purpose combined financial statements are set out in note 3 and 4 below.

3.	Basis of preparation

The indenture governing the US$ Senior Notes requires Restricted Group to prepare Ind AS combined financial statements of the Restricted Group for the purpose of submission to the bond holders. The Ind AS combined financial statements of the Restricted Group have been prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down by the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) (except Ind AS – 33 on Earnings Per Share) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and subsequent amendments thereto and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and the guidance note on Combined and Carve-out Financial Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

The items in the special purpose combined financial statements have been classified considering the principles under Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

Page 8 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

The Ind AS combined financial statements have been prepared on the accrual and going concern basis and the historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value or revalued amount;

Derivative financial instruments

Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments)

As per the Guidance Note on Combined and Carve Out Financial Statements, the procedure for preparing combined financial statements of the combining entities is the same as that for consolidated financial statements as per the applicable Indian Accounting Standards. Accordingly, when combined financial statements are prepared, intra-group transactions and profits or losses are eliminated. All the inter group transactions are undertaken on Arms Lengths basis. There is no allocation of expenses within the Restricted Group. The information presented in the combined financial statements of the Restricted group may not be representative of the position which may prevail after the transaction. The resulting financial position may not be that which might have existed if the combining businesses had been a stand-alone business.

The non-controlling interest held by outsiders amount to INR 3 million and INR 3 million as of March 2021 and March 2020 respectively. Share capital and reserves disclosed in the combined financial statements is not the legal capital and reserves of the Restricted Group and is the aggregation of the share capital and reserves of the individual combining entities. Income taxes are arrived at by aggregation of the tax expenses actually incurred by the combining businesses, after considering the tax effects of any adjustments which is in accordance with the Guidance Note on Combined and Carve-Out Financial Statements issued by the ICAI.

Accordingly, the procedures followed for the preparation of the combined financial statements:

(a)

Combined like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the combining entities.

(b)

Eliminated in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the Restricted Group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as fixed assets, are eliminated in full).

These Ind AS combined financial statements may not be necessarily indicative of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Restricted Group that would have occurred if it had operated as a separate stand-alone Group of entities during the year presented or the Restricted Group’s future performance.

The special purpose combined financial statements include the operation of entities in the Restricted Group, as if they had been managed together for the year presented.

Transactions that have taken place with the Unrestricted Group (i.e. other entities which are a part of the Group¹ and not included in the Restricted Group of entities) have been disclosed in accordance of Ind AS 24, Related Party Disclosures.

4.	Summary of significant accounting policies

a)	Current versus non-current classification

The Restricted Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

Held primarily for the purpose of trading

Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

¹	Group means parent and its subsidiaries

Page 9 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is:

Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

Held primarily for the purpose of trading

Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as non-current assets/liabilities.

b)	Property, Plant and equipment

Capital work-in-progress, property, plant and equipment (PPE) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Restricted Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Refer to note 13.1 and 38 regarding significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions and provisions for further information about the recorded decommissioning provision.

Derecognition

c)	Depreciation

Page 10 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Category	Life as per Schedule II	Life considered
Furniture and fittings	10 years	5 years
Buildings	30 years	35 years
Vehicles	8/10 years	5 years
Office equipment	5 years	1-5 years

The identified components are depreciated over their useful lives; the remaining asset is depreciated over the life of the principal asset.

Assets individually costing less than INR 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

d)	Capital work in progress (“CWIP”)

Capital work-in-progress includes cost of items of property, plant and equipment that are not ready for use at the balance sheet date.

e)	Leases

The Restricted Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Where the respective companies under the Restricted Group are lessees

The Restricted Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Restricted Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i)	Right of use assets

The Restricted Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Restricted Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section Impairment of non-financial assets.

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

ii)

Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Restricted Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Restricted Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Restricted Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Restricted Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

iii)

Short term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Restricted Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of assets that are considered to be of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

f)	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 capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of ancillary cost incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing cost.

Hedging cost paid relates to borrowing of the group accordingly has been considered as part of finance cost

g)	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

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, 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. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Restricted Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:

	Ø	Debt instruments at amortised cost

	Ø	Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL)

Debt instruments at amortised cost

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

	a)	The 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 (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. 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 in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The category applies to the Restricted Group’s trade receivables, unbilled revenue, other bank balances, security deposits etc.

Debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

	a)	The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Restricted Group recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals in the statement of profit and loss and in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

Page 13 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Debt instrument at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

In addition, the Restricted Group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’).

Debt instrument included within FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Restricted Group’s balance sheet) when:

	a)	The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

The Restricted Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Restricted Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Restricted Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Restricted Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Restricted Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of the Restricted Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Restricted Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Restricted Group has retained.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Restricted Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

	Ø	Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits, trade receivables and bank balances

	Ø	Financial asset that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI

Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115.

Page 14 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

The Restricted Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Restricted Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Restricted Group determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in the subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on a 12-month ECL.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Restricted Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:

	Ø	All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument

Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms

As a practical expedient, the Restricted Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost: ECL is presented as an allowance i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the Restricted Group does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Restricted Group combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of the directly attributable transaction costs.

The Restricted Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, including bank overdraft and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Restricted Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Restricted Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Derecognition

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Reclassification of financial assets and financial liabilities

The Restricted Group determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Restricted Group senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Restricted Group’s operation. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Restricted Group either or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Restricted Group reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediate next reporting period following the change in the business model. The Restricted Group does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

The following table shows various reclassifications and how they are accounted for:

Original classification	Revised classification	Accounting treatment
Amortised cost	FVTPL	Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous amortized cost and fair value is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
FVTPL	Amortised Cost	Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount. EIR is calculated based on the new gross carrying amount.
Amortised cost	FVTOCI	Fair value is measured at reclassification date. Difference between previous amortised cost and fair value is recognised in OCI. No change in EIR due to reclassification.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Compulsory Convertible Debentures

Convertible debentures are separated into liability and equity components, where applicable based on the terms of the contract.

On issuance of the convertible debenture, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption.

The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in equity since conversion option meets Ind AS 32 criteria for fixed to fixed classification. Transaction costs are deducted from equity, net of associated income tax. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible preference shares, where applicable based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised.

h)	Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

In the normal course of business, the Restricted Group uses derivative instruments for the purpose of mitigating the exposure from foreign currency fluctuation risks associated with forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies and to minimize earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and not for speculative trading purposes. These derivative contracts are purchased within the Restricted Group’s policy and are with counterparties that are highly rated financial institutions. 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. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to statement of profit and loss except for effective portion of cash flow hedges.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Restricted Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Restricted Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Restricted Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging/economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

The Restricted Group evaluates hedge effectiveness of cash flow hedges at the time a contract is entered into as well as on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedge is recorded as expense in statement of profit and loss. The cost of effective portion of cash flow hedges is expensed over the period of the hedge contract.

Undesignated contracts

Changes in fair value of undesignated derivative contracts are reported directly in statement of profit and loss along with the corresponding transaction gains and losses on the items being economically hedged. The Restricted Group enters into foreign exchange currency contracts to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange derivative contracts were entered into to hedge the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for recognized balance sheet items such as the Restricted Group’s U.S. dollar denominated borrowings. The Restricted Group has not designated the derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. Realized gains (losses) and changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses), net in the statements of profit and loss. These derivatives are not held for speculative or trading purposes.

The Restricted Group does not have any net investment in a foreign operation.

i)	Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Restricted Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Restricted Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

Application of interpretation for Service Concession Arrangements (SCA)

Sale of power

Revenue from sale of power is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or is determinable, solar energy kilowatts are supplied and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is based on the solar energy kilowatts actually supplied to customers (including the solar energy kilowatts supplied and not billed on reporting date) multiplied by the rate per kilo-watt hour agreed to in the respective PPAs. The solar energy kilowatts supplied by the Restricted Group are validated by the customer prior to billing and recognition of revenue.

The Restricted Group entities considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of power, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

Further, revenue from the recovery of Safe-guard duties and Goods and Service Tax under the change in law provision are recognized over the PPA period based on terms agreed with customers or unless agreed otherwise.

Viability Gap Funding (VGF)

The Restricted Group records the proceeds received from Viability Gap Funding (VGF) on fulfilment of the underlying conditions as deferred revenue. Such deferred VGF revenue is recognized as sale of power in proportion to the actual sale of solar energy kilowatts during the period to the total estimated sale of solar energy kilowatts during the tenure of the applicable power purchase agreement pursuant to the revenue recognition policy.

Interest income

For all debt instruments measured either at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Restricted Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit or loss.

Income from carbon credit emission

Revenue from the sale of carbon credit emissions are recognized at the time of transfer of carbon credits to the customers, at consideration agreed under the sale agreements.

Rebates

In some Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), the Restricted Group provide rebates on invoice if payment is made before the due date. Rebates are offset against consideration payable by the customers. To estimate the variable consideration for the expected future rebate, the Group applies the most likely method.

Page 19 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Contract assets

A contract asset is initially recognised for revenue earned for its right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the entities forming part of Restricted Group perform by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before acceptance by the customer, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liabilities

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

Trade receivables

A receivable represents the right of entities forming part of Restricted Group to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (g) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement

j)	Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Restricted Group will comply all with all attached conditions.

Government grant relating to income are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the cost that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

Government grant relating to purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grant and are credited to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

k)	Foreign currencies

The functional currency of APEL is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and presentation currency for special purpose combined financial statement of Restricted Group is Indian rupees (“INR”). The Restricted Group entities with operations in India use INR as the functional currency. The financial statements of APEL are translated into INR using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, historical exchange rates for equity transactions and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of other equity.

Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which a respective entity under Restricted Group operates and is normally the currency in which the respective entity under the Restricted Group primarily generates and expends cash.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Restricted Entities at the functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition

Conversion

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Exchange differences

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

l)	Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Restricted Group has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Restricted Group recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

The Restricted Group presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Restricted Group has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability. The Restricted Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Restricted Group recognizes termination benefit as a liability and an expense when the Restricted Group has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability. The Restricted Group recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

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

Interest expense.

m)	Income taxes

Tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax of Restricted Group entities.

Page 21 of 76

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Current income tax

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

Deferred Tax

	Ø	deferred income tax is not recognised on the initial recognition (including MAT) of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable on Restricted Group that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities of respective entities under Restricted Group are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entities intend to settle their current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

In the situations where one or more entities in the Restricted Group are entitled to a tax holiday under the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where they operate, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of temporary differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the concerned entity’s gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of temporary differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the temporary differences originate. However, the group restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the temporary differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Minimum Alternate Tax

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the entities forming part of the Restricted Group will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the entities forming part of the Restricted Group.

n) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Restricted Group entities’ that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the respective Restricted Group entities’ chief operating decision maker(s) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. The Parent’s chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker.

The activities of Restricted Group entities mainly involve sale of electricity. Considering the nature of Restricted Group entities’ business and operations, there are no separate reportable operating segments in accordance with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard 108, ‘Operating Segments’ referred in to Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 and hence, there are no additional disclosures to be provided other than those already provided in the financial statements.

o) Provisions

General

Provisions are recognized when the Restricted Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Restricted Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

Decommissioning liability

Upon the expiration of the lease agreement for solar power plants located on leasehold land, the Restricted Group is required to remove the solar power plant and restore the land. The Restricted Group records a provision for such decommissioning costs. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(INR amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

p) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds recoverable amount and the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

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

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Restricted Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

q) Contingent assets/liabilities

Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, and is recognised as an asset.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Restricted Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Restricted Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

r) Fair value measurement

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

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Restricted Group.

The Restricted Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Restricted 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.

The Restricted Group determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and liabilities, if any. At each reporting date, the Restricted Group analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Restricted Group’s accounting policies.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Restricted Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the notes 34 and 35.

s) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the combined statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.

t) Events occurring after the balance sheet date

The Restricted Group does not adjust the amounts recognised in its interim combined financial statements to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period.

The Restricted Group makes disclosures in the interim combined financial statements in cases of significant events.

u) Material prior period errors

v) Measurement of EBITDA

The Restricted Group has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Restricted Group measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/ (loss) from continuing operations. In its measurement, the Restricted Group does not include interest income, depreciation, amortisation expense, finance cost and tax expense.

w) Changes in accounting policy and disclosures – New and amended standards

Other amendments

A number of minor amendments to existing standards also became effective on April 01, 2021 and have been adopted by the Restricted group. The adoption of these new accounting pronouncements did not have a significant impact on the accounting policies, method of computation or presentation applied by the Restricted Group.

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(All amount in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

Contingent liabilities:

As at March 31, 2022, the one of the project entity of Restricted Group has outstanding demand for liquidation damages totalling INR Nil (March 31, 2021: 350 millions) for its Karnataka projects completed beyond the contractually agreed dates. In August 2021, Company has received a favourable order from the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (“APTEL”) of ongoing litigation with customer, where APTEL had set aside the order of Karnataka Regulatory Commission (“KERC”), wherein the KERC had reduced extension of time, reduced the PPA tariff and imposed liquidated damages. Subsequently, the customer has filed an appeal with Supreme Court against the order, which was latter admitted the appellate authority.

The management believes the reason for delay were not attributable to the Company, based on advice from its legal advisors and the facts underlying the Company’s position, and therefore management, believes that the Company will ultimately not be found liable for these assessments and has not accrued any amount with respect to these matters in its financial statements.

In relation to the Restricted Group's 50 MWs project in Andhra Pradesh, the DISCOM, Andhra Pradesh Distribution Company (“APDC”), had issued a letter to the Restricted Group requesting the reduction of quoted tariff to INR 2.44 per unit as against the PPA rate of INR 5.89 per unit for solar projects from the date of commissioning and threatened termination of the PPA in case of refusal to accede to such reduction (“Letter”). The Restricted Group had challenged the Letter in the High Court at Vijayawada. The High Court vide its judgment dated September 24, 2019, whilst quashing the aforesaid Letter and directed DISCOM to approach the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (“APERC”) for reduction of tariff by directing DISCOM to make payment of outstanding and future invoices at the “interim” rate of Rs. 2.44/- per unit, until the dispute is resolved by APERC. Accordingly, the restricted Group has filed a writ petition challenging the Judgment, whereby the Restricted Group has inter alia sought: (i) setting aside of the Judgment to the limited extent of the direction to Discoms to make payment at the “interim” rate of Rs. 2.44 per unit and the implied blessing granted by the High Court to approach the APERC for reduction of tariff; and (ii) quashing of all actions undertaken by the respondents and/or restrain the respondents from taking any action seeking reduction of tariff under the concluded PPA and/or unilateral alteration of the terms of such PPA, pursuant to the directions in the Judgment, including quashing of the proceedings. Further, the appellate authority during several hearings had directed the DISCOM to remit the overdue receivables at interim rate.

During the current year on March 15,2022, High court of Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati has passed an order in favour of the Company and has directed the discom to make the payments of arrears with within six weeks from the date of this order, at the original rate of INR 5.89 per unit mentioned in PPAs.

Based on a legal opinion obtained by the management and based on favourable order passed from the appellate authority on the above matter, the Company is invoicing and recognizing revenue as per the PPA and reports the receivables as recoverable. The Company has recognized allowance for doubtful trade receivables on this receivable as per the expected credit loss model pending receipt of dues.

Hedging activities and derivatives

Contracts designated as Cash flow hedges

The Company hedged the foreign currency exposure risk related to certain investments in Restricted Group entities denominated in foreign currency through call spread option with full swap for coupon payments. The foreign currency forward contracts and options were not entered for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company documented each hedging relationship and assessed its initial effectiveness on inception date and the subsequent effectiveness was tested on a quarterly basis using dollar offset method. When the relationship between the hedged items and hedging instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cashflows attributable to the hedged risk, the Company records in other comprehensive income the entire change in fair value of the designated hedging instrument that is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The gain or loss on the hedge contracts shall be reclassified to interest expense when the coupon payments and principal repayments are made on the related investments. The hedge contracts were effective as of March 31, 2021 and 2022 respectively.

The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, interest accrued on term deposits, other bank balances, trade receivables, unbilled revenue, viability gap funding receivable (VGF), receivable from related parties, security deposits received, current borrowings, interest accrued, payable for capital goods, trade payables and security deposits paid approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Measured at fair value:

The respective companies under the Respective Group enter into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Foreign currency option derivatives are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, currency basis spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying instruments. The Restricted Group used the derivatives option pricing model based on the principles of the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the foreign exchange derivative contracts. The inputs considered in this model include the theoretical value of a call option, the underlying spot exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, the contracted price of the respective option contract, the term of the option contract, the implied volatility of the underlying foreign exchange rates and the risk-free interest rate as of the balance sheet date.

At amortised cost:

**	Fair value of long-term loan having floating rate of interest approximate the carrying amount of those loans as there was no significant change in the Restricted Group's own credit risk during the period.

***

The fair values of the interest-bearing borrowings and loans of Restricted Group are determined by using DCF method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March 31, 2022 was assessed to be insignificant.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The financial liabilities of respective entities under Restricted Group comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the respective Restricted Group entities’ operations. The Restricted Group's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial assets, as applicable.

The Restricted Group entities are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The senior management of respective Restricted Group entities oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors of respective Restricted Group entities reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

Market risk

The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Restricted Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Restricted Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

Financial instruments comprise of US$ Senior Notes, loans to related parties which are fixed interest bearing whereas term loans from banks and financial institution are both fixed and floating interest bearing. Remaining financial assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing.

The exposure of the Restricted Group's financial instruments as at March 31, 2022 to interest rate risk is as follows:

As at March 31, 2022	Floating rate financial instruments		Fixed rate financial instruments		Non-interest bearing		Total
Financial assets		-		8,191		4,467		12,658
Financial liabilities		-		30,119		1,296		31,415

The exposure of the Restricted Group's financial instruments as at March 31, 2021 to interest rate risk is as follows:

As at March 31, 2021	Floating rate financial instruments		Fixed rate financial instruments		Non-interest bearing		Total
Financial assets		-		9,747		8,672		18,419
Financial liabilities		296		36,519		1,981		38,795

(All amount in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Restricted Group’s loss before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

	Increase/decrease in basis points		March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021

Effect on profit/(loss) before tax (in Rupees)		+/(-)50		(-)/+-		(-)/+1

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment. Though there is exposure on account of Interest rate movement as shown above but the Restricted Group entities minimise the foreign currency (US dollar) interest rate exposure through derivatives.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Restricted Group entities are exposed to foreign currency risk arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency loan and derivative financial instruments. The Restricted Group entities enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to mitigate fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in respect of these loans.

The following table analyses foreign currency risk from financial instruments relating to US$ as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Borrowings
- Foreign currency loan from bank		-		295
- 5.5% Senior Notes*		-		37,350
-3.575% Senior Notes*		30,004		-

Including interest accrued but not due on borrowings of INR 120 million (March 31, 2021: INR 831 million).

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD/INR exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Restricted Group’s loss before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary liabilities.

		Change in USD rate				March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021
Effect on profit/(loss) before tax (in INR)			+/(-)5%			(-)/+1,500			(-)/+1,882

As the Restricted Group has entered into foreign exchange derivatives contract to mitigate the foreign exchange fluctuation risk, these derivatives act as economic hedges and will offset the impact of any fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Restricted Group entities are exposed to credit risk from their operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables and contract asset

Customer credit risk is managed on the basis of Restricted Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables and contract assets are regularly monitored. The Restricted Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivable and contract assets as high. However, since the trade receivables and contract assets mainly comprise of state utilities/government entities, the Restricted Group does not foresee any material credit risk attached to receivables from such state utilities/government entities. The Restricted Group does not hold collateral as security.

Movement in expected credit loss on trade receivables during the year (refer note 4(g)):

	For the year ended			For the year ended
	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021
Opening balance		387			120
Changes in allowance for expected credit loss:

Reversal of provision during the year (refer note 20.2)		(279	)		-
Closing balance		124			387

Financial instruments and cash deposits

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Restricted Group entities will encounter in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The approach of Restricted Group entities to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk damage to its reputation.

The Restricted Group entities assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Restricted Group has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months.

Borrowings of Restricted Group include INR 29,884 million of senior notes which may be subject to refinancing risk, when they becomes due, as market conditions may not be possible to refinance the bonds at all or to refinance the bonds on favourable terms. In addition, hedges taken on these bonds are covered ranging from INR 80.7/US$ to INR 90.5/US$, which may expose Restricted Group to additional hedging costs in the future.

Capital management

For the purpose of the Restricted Group’s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the respective entities of Restricted Group. The primary objective of the Restricted Group’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder’s value of the respective entity of Restricted Group.

The Restricted Group’s manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants, if any. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Restricted Group's reviews the fund management at regular intervals and take necessary actions to maintain the requisite capital structure.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

Employee Benefits

(a)

Defined contribution plan

The entities in Restricted Group make contribution towards provident fund to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan for qualifying employees. The contribution by entities in Restricted Group to the Employee Provident Fund is deposited with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner.

The Restricted Group has recognised INR 3 million (March 31, 2021: INR 3 million) for provident fund contribution in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contribution payable to the plan by the Restricted Group is at the rate specified in the rules to the scheme.

(b)

Defined benefit plan

Gratuity and other post-employment benefits

The Restricted Group has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The Scheme is unfunded and accrued cost is recognised through reserve in the accounts of the entities of the Restricted Group.

Risk exposure

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

Discount rate- Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the liability.

Withdrawal rate- Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawals rates at subsequent valuations can impact defined benefit liability.

A quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumption as at March 31, 2022 is as shown below:

	Discount rate					Discount rate
	March 31, 2022					March 31, 2021
	1 % increase			1 % decrease		1 % increase			1 % decrease

38. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Restricted Group financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

A. Judgements

(i) Revenue from Viability Gap Funding (VGF)

(ii) Classification of leases:

The Restricted Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgement. The Restricted Group uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

The Restricted Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Group revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. (refer note 30)

B. Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Restricted Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Restricted Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(i) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next remaining useful life of the projects Restricted Group entities. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

(ii) Hedging activities and derivatives

The Company has issued 3.575% Senior Notes during the current year in August, 2021, listed on the Singapore Exchange Limited (“SGX”). The proceeds were used for repayment of loan of Restricted Group entities, in the form of intercompany Non-Convertible Debentures (NCD) and External Commercial Borrowings (ECB’s) denominated in INR. The exchange rate risk on the proceeds invested from the US$ Senior Notes are hedged through cross currency swap for payment of coupons and through call spread option contracts for repayment of principal (collectively “Option contracts”). The Restricted Group designated these option contracts as a cashflow hedge. These options contracts mitigate the exchange rate risk associated with the forecasted transaction for semi-annual repayment of coupon and for repayment of the principal balance at the end of five years.

Restricted Group - III

Notes to special purpose combined financial statements

(All amount in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

(iii) Revenue estimate

Where power purchase agreements (PPAs) include scheduled price changes, revenue is recognized at lower of the amount billed or by applying the average rate to the energy output estimated over the term of the PPA. The determination of the lesser amount is undertaken annually based on the cumulative amount that would have been recognized had each method been consistently applied from the beginning of the contract term. The Restricted Group estimates the total kilowatt hour units expected to be generated over the entire term of the PPA. The contractual rates are applied to this annual estimate to determine the total estimated revenue over the term of the PPA. The Restricted Group then uses the total estimated revenue and the total estimated kilo-watt hours to compute the average rate used to record revenue on the actual energy output supplied. The Restricted Group compares the actual energy supplied to the estimate of the energy expected to be generated over the remaining term of the PPA on a periodic basis, but at least annually. Based on this evaluation, the Restricted Group reassesses the energy output estimated over the remaining term of the PPA and adjusts the revenue recognized and deferred to date. The difference between actual billing and revenue recognized is recorded as deferred revenue. (Refer note 19)

(iv) Taxes

Projects of Restricted Group qualify for deduction from taxable income because its profits are attributable to undertakings engaged in development of solar power projects under section 80-IA of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. This holiday is available for a period of ten consecutive years out of fifteen years beginning from the year in which the Restricted Group generates power (“Tax Holiday Period”), however, the exemption is only available to the projects completed on or before March 31, 2017. The Restricted Group anticipates that it will claim the aforesaid deduction in the last ten years out of fifteen years beginning with the year in which the Restricted Group generates power and when it has taxable income. Accordingly, its current operations are taxable at the normally applicable tax rates. Due to the Tax Holiday Period, a substantial portion of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Restricted Group’s assets and liabilities do not have any tax consequences as they are expected to reverse within the Tax Holiday Period. (Refer note 18)

(v) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.

(vi) Provision for decommissioning

The Restricted Group has recognised provisions for the future decommissioning of solar power plants set up on leased land at the end of the lease term or expiry of power purchase agreement. In determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the plant from the leased land and the expected timing of those costs. The carrying amount of the provision as at March 31, 2022: INR 115 million (March 31, 2021: INR 121 million) . The Group estimates that the costs would be settled upon the expiration of the lease and calculates the provision using the DCF method based on the following assumptions:

►

Estimated range of cost per megawatt– INR 0.39 million to INR 0.41 million (March 31, 2021: INR 0.39 million to INR 0.41 million)

►

Discount rate – 6.9% p.a (March 31, 2021: 6.9% p.a)

(vii) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment

During the current year, the Restricted Group basis the technical assessment, have revised the useful live of solar power project assets i.e. solar power modules from 25 years to 35 years. These changes have been considered as change on accounting estimate as per In das As 8 (Accounting policies, change in accounting estimates and errors) and have been accounting for prospectively with effect from April 1, 2021. (refer note 5 and 22)

The effect of these changes on actual and expected depreciation expense is as follows:

	Increase/ (decrease)
Financial year 2021-22		(1,238	)
Financial year 2022-23		(1,265	)
Financial year 2023-24		(1,265	)
Later		3,768

(viii) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 37.

(ix) Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

(x) Key assumption about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources in case of Income Tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, legal interpretations of various other acts/laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the long term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Restricted Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.

(xi) Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets

The Restricted Group follows ’simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. As concluded by the management that there is no risk of default from the DISCOMs/State Government bodies being a state government entities. Accordingly, no provision for default risk is required for receivables from DISCOM. As per the requirements of Ind AS 109, on subsequent measurement, the management while making ECL assessment considered the past experience with the Government of honouring its commitments and the strong capacity and ability of the Government to meet its contractual cash flow obligations.

(iv) Notes on restatement

(a) Depreciation and amortisation expense

During the current year, the Company has recomputed depreciation on property, plant and equipment as per accounting policy and has corrected certain errors through restating the financial statement. As at April 1, 2020, the Company has decreased carrying value of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings by INR 7 million. Further, the Company has increased depreciation expense by INR 5 million for the year ended March 31, 2021.

(b) Interest on income tax

During the current year, the Company identified interest liability in respect of delay in payment of income tax for the financial year 2020-21. The Company has accordingly restated previous year ended March 31, 2021 balances and has increased finance cost and current tax liabilities by INR 7 million.

(c) Amortisation of right of use asset

During the current year, the Company has observed an accounting error during re-computation of depreciation on right of use assets. Accordingly, the Company has increased the carrying value of right of use asset with a corresponding increase in retained earnings by INR 6 million in the opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2020.

(d) Deferred tax

During the current year, the Company determined that the financial statements for the prior periods had differences in reported numbers as compared to Income Tax returns filed with the authorities and noted certain errors under computation of taxes for amounts reversing within tax holiday period. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statement during current year. Restatement also includes consequential impact of other items restated by the company. The restatement has had the following impact on the financial statements:

	April 1, 2020		FY 2020-21			March 31, 2021
Current tax expense		-		15			-
Income tax assets		8		(15	)		(7	)

Deferred tax liability		141			11		152
Other equity		(191	)		-		(198	)

(e) Other equity

The above adjustments resulted in decrease in retained earning by INR 184 millions as at 1 April 2020. Further, there is a decrease in profit for the year ended March 31, 2021 by INR 35 millions and corresponding decrease in retained earning for the year ended March 31, 2021.

45. Whistle blower complaint

46. The Restricted Group is in process of conducting a transfer pricing study as required by the transfer pricing regulations under the income tax act (‘regulations’) to determine whether the transactions entered during the year ended March 31, 2022 with associated enterprises were undertaken at arms length price. The Management confirms that all the transactions with associate enterprises are undertaken at arm length prices and is confident that the aforesaid regulations will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

47. As per the provision of the Companies Act, 2013, a company is required to convene the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) for adoption of its annual audited financial statements within the six months from the end of the financial year, i.e. September 30, 2022. Considering the investigations mentioned above, the Restricted Group-III SPVs has not been able to hold the AGM till date. Consequently, given that the Restricted Group-III SPVs has not held the AGM by September 30, 2022 which was further extended by 3 months to December 31, 2022 based on the extension obtained from Registrar of Companies (“ROC”), the Restricted Group-III SPVs are now required to apply for compounding of the Offence and liable to pay penalties as may be imposed by ROC, Management is unable to ascertain the amount of penalties for the Offence and hence no accruals for the same has been taken in these financial statements.

48. As per Bond indenture agreement, the restricted group is mandated to submit its Combined Annual Financial Statements within 30 days following the submission of financials by the Parent Company to the Securities Exchange Commission (’SEC’). However, if the Parent Company does not files the said results with SEC, the Group has a window of 120 days post the fiscal year-end to file these financials. On October 31, 2023, the New York Stock Exchange (‘NYSE’) filed Form-25 notification of removal from listing with the SEC. However, considering the legal opinion obtained by the parent Company, the Group believes, that the said delisting would not have any impact on the above mentioned covenant, as the Parent Company would continue to be a registrant with the SEC.

Year ended March 31, 2022 Special Purpose Combined Financial Results:

Operating Results

Revenue from operations

Operating revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022 was INR 6,229 million, from INR 6,196 million as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021. The revenue in current year has marginally increased from last year.

Other income

Non-operating income for the Restricted Group for the year ended March 31, 2022 was INR 567 million, an increase of INR 536 million, from INR 31 million as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily on account of foreign exchange gain (net) on refinancing of green bonds during the current year and increase in liabilities no longer required written back.

Employee benefits expense

Employee benefits expenses during the year ended March 31, 2022 increased to INR 51 million from INR 46 million as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021, on account of increase in payroll related expenses.

Operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortisation)

Operating expense for the year ended March 31, 2022 increased by 11% to INR 873 million from INR 785 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. This is primarily due to increase under loss on account of modification of contractual cash flows, provision for diminution in assets and assets written off offset by lower provision for doubtful receivables (non-cash).

Depreciation and amortisation expense

Depreciation and amortisation expense for the RG-III decreased by INR 1,290 million, to INR 1,041 million during the year ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021. Decrease in depreciation and amortisation expense is primarily on account of change in estimate for useful life of assets (i.e. Plant & Machinery) from 25 years to 35 years.

Interest income

Interest income during the year ended March 31, 2022 decreased by INR 48 million, or 6%, to INR 759 million as compared to INR 807 million for the year ended March 31, 2021, primarily on account of reduction of interest income on inter-company loans.

Finance cost

Finance cost during the year ended March 31, 2022 decreased by 16%, to INR 2,922 million from INR 3,471 million as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021 on account of refinancing of green bonds during the current year.

Tax expense

Tax expense for the Restricted Group during the year ended March 31, 2022 was INR 1,153 million, as compared to tax expense of INR 563 million during the year ended March 31, 2021. During current year, deferred tax expense (net) has increased by INR 436 million on account of movement in the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities and their tax base.

Net Loss/ profit after tax

Net profit after tax was INR 1,515 million for the year ended March 31, 2022, compared to net loss after tax of INR 162 million during the year ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net profit was primarily due to decrease in interest cost (net) on account of refinancing of green bonds and increase in non-operating income partially offset by increase in deferred tax expense (net).
