Mytrah Energy Limited
("Mytrah" or the "Company")
Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2016
Power generation capacity increased 72% in 2016, reaching 1000
MW 6 months ahead of our initial target
Reported EBITDA increased 94%
Secured close to $1 billion of capital to refinance and support
growth
Mytrah Energy Limited, the India-based renewable focused
Independent Power Producer, is pleased to announce its full year
results for the year ended 31 December 2016.
2016 marked a major milestone and acceleration in Mytrah's
development. The company reached 1 GW of wind power generation
capacity - adding 417 MW in just one year - as well as delivering a
strong operating result and moving its new solar business into the
construction phase. To do this, Mytrah secured close to $1bn of
financing during the year.
Financial highlights
-- The 2016 results reflect adoption of IFRIC 12 - Service
Concession Arrangements, which has affected the treatment of
revenue and revision of estimated useful life of property, plant
and equipment which has accelerated depreciation/amortisation, as
previously announced and detailed below
-- Reported Revenue of USD 362.23m, an increase of 385% (63% on
a directly comparable basis as per previous year policies) over the
previous year (2015: USD 74.72m)
-- Reported EBITDA of USD 128.13m, up 94% (70% on a directly
comparable basis as per previous year policies) (2015: 65.92m)
-- Underlying Profit Before Tax of USD 4.76m, up by 121% (2015 2.15m)
-- Secured a direct loan facility of up to USD 175m from Asian
Development Bank to fund the development of a portfolio of wind and
solar projects
-- Refinanced the existing portfolio of sites through a USD 380m
debt package with three banks, the largest such domestic
refinancing in India's renewables sector
-- Received USD 23m from GE Energy Financial Services for an
equity stake in Mytrah Vayu (Tungabhadra) Private Limited, a
subsidiary of Mytrah Energy
-- Repaid remaining mezzanine debt of USD 14.91m outstanding
with PTC India Financial Services Limited
Operational highlights
-- Completed construction of 417 MW wind projects, enhancing
installed capacity to 1 GW (over 600 wind turbines), significantly
ahead of the Company's initial target
-- Entered into power purchase agreements for 140 MW of solar
power capacity, bringing the total to 422 MW AC (480MW DC) in
Telangana, Punjab and Karnataka
-- Signed contracts with Tier-1 suppliers for 175MW solar modules and 150MW solar inverters
-- Initiated the construction of solar projects in Telangana and Punjab
-- Post period end, won 250MW wind power project in auction
through the first competitive bid in the Indian wind power
sector
-- Vikram Kailas and Shirish Navlekar were appointed as the CEO
and CFO of Mytrah Energy Limited respectively
Commenting on the results, Ravi Kailas, Chairman, said:
"I am delighted with these results, which show just how far
Mytrah has come in only 6 years. In 2016 we commissioned more wind
capacity than ever before, underlining both the capability of our
team and the depth of our pipeline. This additional capacity helped
to drive our EBITDA up 70% from last year on a directly comparable
basis. India also experienced better wind conditions in 2016, which
led to a 7% increase in power production on a like-for-like
basis.
Our ability to re-finance 543 MW of wind assets with USD 380
million from sophisticated lenders in India demonstrates the
quality and revenue visibility in our operating wind farms. This
was the single largest domestic refinancing in the sector ever,
continuing our leadership in financial innovation. This innovation
has also been applied to solar this year, and I am pleased to say
that we have managed to secure senior loans of over USD 300 million
to build out our solar projects."

Chairman's statement
India's renewable energy sector is still in its early
development stages, but a lot has happened in such a short time,
and a lot continues to happen. Mytrah can't stand still, and it
won't.
Yes, we want to build on what we've already successfully
achieved. But we also have to respond quickly to capture the
opportunities presented by changing markets and technologies.
Five years of growth in just one year
We commissioned 417MW of wind energy capacity for 2016 - close
to the total amount we'd commissioned during the first five years
of our existence, up to the end of 2015. So we closed 2016 with 1
GW of wind energy capacity with total of 617 wind turbines now
installed. I believe this could be the quickest time a renewable
energy company has taken to reach this coveted milestone, anywhere
in the world.
The sun starts to shine
Our business had been focused on wind energy for its first five
years. As tempting as it is to focus just on your strengths, we
continued to look for new opportunities. During this period, the
solar energy business was becoming more viable, as the
commissioning costs of solar plants were coming down, and
electricity sales prices were becoming attractive.
We entered this new market in 2016 with vigour. More than 100
people are working on our maiden projects in 21 locations, with a
sizeable 480MW of capacity. We secured these projects in
competitive bidding processes, with attractive 25-year contracted
electricity sales prices. I expect this combination of scale and
attractive prices to give us years of profitable growth.
Data mining and analysis - a worthwhile investment
We recognise that a series of one-off profitable projects
doesn't necessarily lead to multi-year growth and outperformance.
We need to find new ways to do things better, and, indeed, find
completely new approaches to take.
One method of doing this is to 'mine' and analyse large amounts
of operational data, leading to many small improvements in how we
do things. When all these are added together, this leads to better
spreads, cash flows, and returns on investment. It's the so-called
'aggregation of marginal gains' that is critical to get the very
best performance from our assets.
World recognition
We're constantly comparing ourselves with our competitors - if
only to make sure what we're doing is still cutting edge. So we
were, of course, thrilled that two of our research papers were
shortlisted as breakthrough papers at the 2016 European Wind Energy
Awards, reflecting our achievements in the market.
Dealing with market trends
In the past 18 months, solar has joined wind as a cost
competitive renewable energy supply source. This means competition
is increasing, and electricity prices are declining. Being able to
adapt quickly and efficiently is crucial.
While prices have fallen for new plants, we have continued to
achieve good margins by carefully selecting our projects. In fact,
the larger we've grown, the more profitable we've become. I believe
this validates our business model, and confirms our commitment to
it.
Operational performance
2016 has been a strong year for Mytrah's operating wind plant
portfolio, with revenues and EBITDA ahead of market expectations on
an underlying basis, and well ahead as reported.
This result has been facilitated by good winds across much of
the portfolio - and by the tireless work of our asset management
team in driving continuous improvements in wind farm availability.
2016 has seen a marked improvement in machine performance across a
number of plants, particularly in Rajasthan where our Kaladonger
plant showed a 4% improvement in availability.
Overall, we believe that our portfolio approach, with plants
spread across multiple geographies, equipment suppliers and
regulatory regimes continues to benefit the company in smoothing
our cash flow, and is increasingly effective as our fleet size
increases.
Project Construction
The construction portfolio described in Mytrah's 2016 half year
results has been completed, taking us to 1000 MW well ahead of our
target of mid-2017. This fantastic result, achieved through the
focused dedication of our projects, business development and
finance teams, clearly demonstrates the level of execution
capability which Mytrah has built. The plants constructed during
2016 are listed below.

Project pipeline
In addition to the projects under construction, Mytrah has an
extensive pipeline of wind projects exceeding 4000 MW. With data
from 221 wind masts across 10 states, the Company's wind database
provides differentiated access to new project sites. For solar, we
continue to develop project options and participate in auctions as
these are announced. We never bid so low in an auction that this
compromises our returns, and so we do not win all of the bids we
participate in. We have a wide range of options for developing our
solar business, including more large-scale government contracted
plants as well as direct sales to private business customers and,
when the time is right, consumers.
Financing
During 2016, the Group secured close to USD 1bn of financing in
various forms, including a USD 380m refinancing of all the senior
debt in its first 543 MW operating wind plants which set a new
benchmark for the industry. This new facility was used to refinance
twenty-two existing senior lenders in operating wind projects,
reducing the interest rate by an average of 140 basis points and
extending the average maturity of debt by approximately 3
years.
In addition to the refinancing, we closed USD 150m senior debt
financing for our wind projects in construction and USD 315m for
our solar projects. Part of this debt was a USD 175m credit line
agreed with ADB, the first time this prestigious institution has
approved such a structure. Finally, we secured a USD 100m equity
line of credit with GE Energy Financial Services which enabled us
to invest USD 23m into one of our SPVs and gives us further support
for growth.
These transactions, conducted with sophisticated financial
institutions, underline the growing maturity of our business and
the quality of our asset portfolio.
Macro environment
India continues to be one of the world's fastest-growing
economies and renewable energy is contributing to this growth
through the rapid deployment of low cost, distributed, generation
capability, as well as by generating substantial employment.
As a consequence, the renewable energy sector continues to enjoy
strong support from the central Government, with the Prime
Minister, in 2015, creating a target of 175 GW of renewable
capacity installed by 2022. Of this 100 GW is expected to be solar,
60 GW wind, and 15 GW other technologies. The benefits of this
target and the supporting policies were clearly evident, with 3.4
GW of wind capacity installed in 2015 - 16 (2014 - 15, 2.3 GW), and
solar installation almost doubling to 4 GW.
A key outcome of the Government's focus is the "UDAY" (Ujwal
DISCOM Assurance Yojana) reform approved in November 2015. The
scheme has improved the financial health of the state electricity
boards (SEBs) which purchase most of Mytrah's electricity under
long-term contracts, improving the security of our revenue
streams.
Maturing business
Mytrah is a pure-play renewable power generation company with a
clear focus on maximising performance of its operating assets,
delivering new capacity on time and within budget, and building a
sustainable pipeline of future opportunities. Focused on investor
returns, the business is growing and maturing in all aspects;
setting visible and achievable targets, delivering projects on time
and continually improving financial structures.
Experienced management and high quality technical staff, strong
relationships with a diverse group of wind turbine suppliers and
strong financial capability are now well proven and Mytrah will
continue to make a significant investment in its people, systems
and processes to ensure we have the foundation needed to support
sustained growth and an ever-expanding footprint.
Outlook
Operating in a fast growing and rapidly developing country of
1.2bn people, Mytrah is ideally placed. India is expected to grow
at over 7% pa according to the IMF, and there is clear evidence
that electricity consumption is correlated to GDP growth. Both wind
and solar power are faster to market and cost-competitive with
alternative sources of power, which in India is primarily coal. As
a result, the Government has set aggressive targets to deliver
capacity addition in renewable energy.
Mytrah is among the largest providers of renewable energy, has a
strong pipeline of development options and deep capability across
the entire value chain in both wind and solar. This, combined with
our proven financial capability, gives us a strong platform to
continue to grow our business and create value for our
investors.

Adoption of IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangement
Accounting
As a result of our continued focus on prudent accounting, and
changes in the Indian accounting standards, the management have
reviewed the useful life of our assets and decided to reduce it. We
have also determined that this change brings some of our assets
into a different accounting treatment, specifically Service
Concession Agreements (SCA) referred to above. We have decided to
apply these policies to all of our plants prospectively. The impact
is illustrated in the table below, which shows how the 2016 results
would have looked under our 2015 accounting policies (this table is
presented for information only and is not audited).
The impact of the change in useful life for our assets can be
seen in the increased depreciation charge in the reported accounts
relative to the direct comparison below. As noted under 'Revenue'
below, the impact of the SCA treatment is to increase the reported
EBITDA because of the inclusion of construction revenue.

Revenue
For the year ended 31 December 2016 the Group's revenue has
increased by USD 287.51m, reflecting the capacity growth from 583
MW at 31 December 2015 to 1000 MW at current year end. On a like
for like basis, revenue increased by USD 46.92m.
In India, the Group is adopting Ind-AS, (Indian - adoption of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)) for the first
time, with effect from 1st April 2016. As part of the first-time
adoption, the Group needs to evaluate and align all its accounting
treatment under both Ind-AS and IFRS. During the year, the Group
has reviewed its accounting treatment with respect to revenue
recognition and started implementing IFRIC 12 accounting for
revenue recognition from Service Concession Arrangements.
Service Concession Arrangements (SCA) apply to all of the
Group's current solar projects and certain wind plants on a
prospective basis. As per IFRIC 12 accounting, in the current year
the Group has begun recognising construction revenue, which is
earned by the Indian holding company, MEIPL, when it constructs
assets for its SPVs. In the past construction revenue was not
recognised as the same was eliminated as part of Intra-company
eliminations. However now as per the requirements of IFRIC 12
accounting the same are being recognised as Revenue. Consequent to
the adoption of IFRIC 12 accounting, assets which qualify for SCA
accounting are treated as intangibles/intangibles under
development.
The impact in the current year financials of this change in
accounting policy is given below:
a) Impact on revenue and EBITDA
Particulars Amount
(USDm)
------------------------ ---------
Construction Revenue 240.59
------------------------ ---------
Construction Cost (224.67)
------------------------ ---------
Margin added to EBITDA 15.92
------------------------ ---------
b) Impact on Balance Sheet
Assets valued at USD 406.86 million, created based on the
Service Concession Arrangement, are classified as intangibles and
amortised over a period of 25 years as per Group's accounting
policy. These assets would have been classified as Property, Plant
and Equipment earlier.
EBITDA
EBITDA for the year 2016 increased to USD 128.13m (2015: USD
65.92m) an increase of USD 62.21m, a 94% increase, reflecting the
increase in revenue due to capacity expansion and a slight
improvement in EBITDA margin as new plants in their initial free
O&M period come into the mix.
Finance cost
Financing costs at USD 81.84m were USD 30.62m higher than the
prior year due to the increased debt level associated with the
capacity expansion.
Finance income
Higher finance income of USD 4.93m (2015: USD 3.34m) was
generated due to higher cash balance in the system and resultant
increase in interest on bank deposits and investments.
Profit before tax
Profit before tax (PBT) of USD (5.58)m for the period 2016
(2015: USD 0.46m). PBT was affected by the interest costs
associated with assets which were not fully performing in 2016, and
the change in the estimated useful life of assets, increased
depreciation/ amortisation expense. PBT was also affected by
one-off costs associated with refinancing. On an underlying basis,
PBT was USD 4.76m (2015 USD 2.15m), and increase of 121%.
Taxation
The tax for the year 2016 was a credit of USD 0.98m (2015: cost
of USD 0.08m).
Earnings per share:
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year 2016 was USD
(2.5) cents (2015 USD: 0.71 cents) and USD (2.5) cents (2015 USD:
0.71 cents) respectively.
Financial position
The net book value of our Property, plant and equipment and
associated intangible assets has increased by USD 257.97m (increase
by 33%), almost all of which relates to investments made during the
year in the construction of our new plants and that have started
generating revenues in the year 2016 and will be operational
throughout 2017.
Capital structure
Strong financial capital management is an integral part of the
Directors' strategy to achieve the Group's stated objectives. The
Directors review financial capital reports on a quarterly basis and
the Group treasury function does the review on a weekly basis,
ensuring that the Group has adequate liquidity.
As at 31 December 2016 the Group had gross debt of USD 945.09m
(2015: USD 674.19m). During the year ended 31 December 2016,
additional loans of USD 290.73m (net of repayments) were drawn for
the construction of new assets that will start generating revenue
in the year ending 2017. The Group continues to borrow at
competitive rates and therefore currently deems this to be the most
effective means of raising finance. The Group has established good
relationships with banks and financial institutions enabling it to
raise further financing on competitive terms.
As the assets under construction start generating revenues in
2017, we expect that the Leverage (expressed as Net Debt/EBITDA)
position of the Company will improve substantially with the
increasing EBITDA.
Further information on the Group's capital structure is provided
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including
details of how the Group manages risk in respect of capital,
interest rates, foreign currencies and liquidity.
Cash flow
The cash generated from operations during the year was USD
74.52m (2015: inflow USD 74.64m). Cash flow did not increase in
line with EBITDA due to an increase in receivables, primarily those
associated with operations in Rajasthan. This situation was
resolved post-period end, with an inflow of USD 27.7m received in
March 2017 bringing receivables back into line with historic
norms.
Investing activities for the current year resulted in a cash
outflow of USD 288.67m (2015: outflow of USD 236.62m). Net
financing cash inflows were USD 221.73m (2015: inflows of USD
162.72m). The increase in financing cash inflows was mainly due to
draw down of loan facilities (net of refinancing) of USD 290.73 m
(2015: USD 370.8m) during the current year. At 31 December 2016,
the Group had cash and bank balances of USD 45.18m (31 December
2015: USD 55.58m).
Liquidity and investments
At 31 December 2016, the Group had a strong liquidity position
comprising of liquid assets of USD 56.22m and undrawn/committed
credit facilities of USD 71.31m, which will be used for financing
the projects under construction. The Group's net debt position at
31 December 2016 has increased to USD 945.10 m (31 December 2015:
USD 674.20m). The increase is mainly on account of drawdown of loan
facilities during the year.

statements, the following standards and interpretations, have not
been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but not
yet effective. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact
of the following new standards on its consolidated financial
statements.
IFRS 9 Financial instruments
IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance
in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS
9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement
of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss
model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new
general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the
guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
from IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption
period.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining
whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces
existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue,
IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty
Programmes. IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption
permitted.
IFRS 16 Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 16,
"Leases". The new standard brings most leases on-balance sheet for
lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between
operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting, however, remains
largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance
leases is retained. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17, 'Leases', and
related interpretations and is effective for actual period
beginning on after 01 January 2019, not yet endorsed by European
Union(EU). Earlier adoption of IFRS 16 is permitted if IFRS 15,
'Revenue from Contracts with Customers', has also been applied.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the
following Standards and relevant Interpretations, have not been
applied in these financial statements and were effective for the
actual period beginning on or after the below mentioned respective
dates, but not yet endorsed by EU.

3. Significant accounting policies
The Group accounting policies are summarized below:
3.1 Basis of accounting
These financial statements comprise of the consolidated
statement of financial position, consolidated income statement,
consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated
statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash
flows, significant accounting policies and notes to the accounts
(together referred as the "consolidated financial statements").
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard and its
interpretations as adopted by the European Union (EU) ('IFRS').
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
historical cost basis, except for the following material items in
the statement of financial position. Historical cost is generally
based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for
assets.
a) Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;
b) Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value;
c) Long term borrowings, except obligations under finance leases
which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method;
d) Share based payment expenses are measured at fair value; and
e) Net employee benefit (asset) / liability that is measured based on actuarial valuation.
The Directors have taken advantage of the exemption offered by
Section 244 (5) of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 from
preparation of standalone financial statements of the Company as
the Company is preparing and presenting consolidated financial
statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2016.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied
consistently to all years and presented in these consolidated
financial statements.
3.2 Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company
(its subsidiaries) up to 31 December each year. Control is achieved
where the Company has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits
from its activities. All intra-group transactions, balances, income
and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. The financial
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date on which control commences until
the date on which control is ceased.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified
separately from the Group's equity therein. The interests of
non-controlling shareholders may be initially measured either at
fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share
of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The
choice of measurement basis is made on the acquiree's identifiable
net asset basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of
non-controlling interest is the amount of those interests at
initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of
subsequent changes in equity.
The Group builds solar and wind power plants under
public-to-private Service Concession Arrangements (SCAs), and the
same are treated as Intangible assets and gains/ losses arising
from construction / development services, (where work is
sub-contracted within the Group) are treated as realized and not
eliminated on consolidation.
3.3 Going concern
The Directors have considered the financial position of the
Group, its cash position and forecast cash flows for the 18 months'
period from the date of these consolidated financial statements.
The Directors have, at the time of approving the consolidated
financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue its operational existence for a
foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing these consolidated financial
statements. Further details are contained in the Directors
Report.
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
3.4 Foreign currencies
The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD,
which is the presentational currency of the Company, as the
financial statements will be used by international investors and
other stakeholders as the Company's shares are listed on AIM. The
functional currency of the parent company is Pound Sterling
("GBP"). The functional currency of all the subsidiaries is Indian
Rupee (INR), except for BVML and MESPL, which are determined as
USD. These financial statements are presented in US dollars
(USD).
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group
entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At
the end of each reporting year, monetary items denominated in
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that
date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at
the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items
that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in income
statement in the year. For the purposes of presenting consolidated
financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's
foreign operations are translated into US dollars (USD) using
exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting year. Income
and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for
the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that
year, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity.
The following exchange rates were used to translate the INR
financial information into USD:
31 December 31 December
2016 2015
--------------------------- ------------ ------------
Closing rate 67.8080 66.1261
Average rate for the year 67.0887 64.0387
---------------------------- ------------ ------------
The following exchange rates were used to translate the GBP
financial information into USD:
31 December 31 December
2016 2015
--------------------------- ------------ ------------
Closing rate 1.2336 1.4802
Average rate for the year 1.3552 1.5283
---------------------------- ------------ ------------
3.5 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the group and these benefits can be measured
reliably.
Sale of electricity
Revenue from the sale of electricity is recognised when earned
on the basis of contractual arrangements and reflects the number of
units supplied in accordance with joint meter readings undertaken
on a monthly basis by representatives of the buyer and the Group at
rates stated in the contract or as applicable, net of any actual or
expected trade discounts. Electricity generated from the last bill
cycle date to the end of the period/ year are recognized as
unbilled revenue and are billed in subsequent period on
actualization basis as per the terms of contractual
arrangements.
Generation-based incentives
Revenue from generation-based incentives are recognised based on
the number of units supplied, when registration under the relevant
programme has taken place or if the eligibility criteria is met
under the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited -
Generation Based Incentive scheme.
Sale of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
Revenue from sale of RECs is recognised after registration of
the project with central and state government authorities,
generation of power and execution of a contract for sale through
recognised exchanges in India.
Sale of Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) and Certified Emission
Reductions (CERs)
Revenue from sale of VCUs/CERs is recognized after registration
of the project with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC), generation of emission reductions and on execution
of a firm contract of sale and billing to the customers.
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective
interest rate method.
Construction Revenue from Service Concession Arrangements
Revenue related to construction under a service concession
arrangement is recognised based on the stage of completion of the
work performed, consistent with the accounting policy on
recognising revenue on construction contracts. Operation or Service
revenue is recognised in the period in which services are provided
by the Group.
Contract expenses are recognized as incurred unless they create
an asset related to future contract activity. An expected loss on a
contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.6 Financial instruments
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the
consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Non-derivative financial assets
All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade
date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a
contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within
the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are
initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs.
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified into
the following specified categories as:
-- Loans and receivables
-- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-- Available-for-sale financial assets
-- Held-to-maturity investments
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the
financial assets and is determined at the time of initial
recognition. Financial assets are categorised as current assets if
they are expected to be settled within 12 months otherwise they are
classified as non-current.
Effective interest rate method
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating
the amortised cost of a financial asset held at amortised cost and
of allocating interest income over the relevant year. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that
form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction
costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of
the debt instrument, or (where appropriate) a shorter year, to the
net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Loans and receivables (including cash and bank balances)
Cash and bank balances and trade and other receivables that have
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as 'loans and receivables'. Loans and
receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any
directly attributable costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any impairment.
Cash and bank balances comprise cash in hand and cash at bank
and deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash,
which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Deposits with banks and financial institutions maturing after 12
months from the date of balance sheet have been classified under
non-current assets as 'other investments'.
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include
financial assets that are held for trading or are designated by the
entity to be carried at fair value through profit or loss upon
initial recognition. Financial assets at fair value through
consolidated profit and loss are carried in the statement of
financial position at fair value with gains or losses recognised in
the income statement. Directly attributable costs are recognised in
profit and loss as incurred.
Available-for-sale financial assets ("AFS")
Investments in mutual funds held by the Group that are traded in
an active market are classified as being AFS and are stated at fair
value plus any attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition they are measured at fair value with changes in
fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in fair value reserve with the exception of impairment
losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and
foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are
recognised directly in the income statement.
Held-to-maturity investments ("HTM")
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity. Investments
are classified as held-to-maturity if it is the positive intention
and ability of Group's management to hold them until maturity.
Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as
through the amortisation process.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at
the end of each reporting year. Financial assets are considered to
be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the
investment have been affected.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of
the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the
asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective
interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the
impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the
exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is
reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade
receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against
the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited. Changes in the carrying amount of the
allowance account are recognised in the consolidated income
statement.
Impairment of available-for-sale
Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are
recognised by classifying the losses accumulated in the fair value
reserve to profit or loss. The amount reclassified is the
difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal
repayment and amortisation) and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss. If the
fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security
subsequently increases and the increase can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized,
then the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss,
otherwise, it is reversed through Other Comprehensive Income.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when
it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the
Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred
asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and
an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the
Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise
the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing
for the proceeds received.
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognised at
fair value less any directly attributable costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised
cost using effective interest method.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual
interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised
at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Compound instruments
The component parts of compound instruments issued by the Group
are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At
the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is
estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar
non-convertible instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition the
liability component of compound financial instrument is measured at
amortised cost using effective interest method. The equity
component is determined by deducting the amount of the liability
component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a
whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax
effects, and is not subsequently remeasured.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net
of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the
amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest
expense over the relevant year. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments
(including all fees and points paid or received that form an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the
financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to
the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only
when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they
expire.
Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other
host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks
and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host
contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value
through profit and loss.
An embedded derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a
non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the hybrid
instrument to which the embedded derivative relates is more than 12
months and is not expected to be realised or settled within 12
months.
The Company has taken an accounting policy choice in accordance
with IAS 32 and IAS 39 wherein the Company writes options that give
non-controlling shareholders right to put subsidiary's shares to
the Company in exchange for a variable number of Company's shares
and the Company has an option to settle in cash when the
non-controlling shareholders exercise the options. Accordingly, the
compulsorily convertible preference shares held by the
non-controlling interest (NCI) shareholders are classified as
equity and the related put options are accounted for as derivative
liabilities under IAS 39 at fair value with changes therein
recognised in profit and loss.
3.7 Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are recognised as assets in the
statement of financial position if it is probable that the Group
will derive future economic benefits from them and the cost of the
asset can be reliably estimated.
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any provision for impairment. Cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets
includes the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition
for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the
items and restoring the site on which they are located. Advances
paid in respect of work that is yet to be executed is classified as
a capital advance within other non-current assets in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2016 (continued)
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have
different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is
recognised in the carrying amount of an item if it is probable that
the future economic benefits embedded within the part will flow to
the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The cost of the
day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in the
consolidated income statement as incurred.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and
equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal
with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are
recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction and production of qualifying assets are capitalised as
part of the costs of those assets. Qualifying assets are those that
take a substantial year of time to prepare for their intended use.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues up to the date when the
assets are substantially ready for their use. Investment income
earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending
their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the
borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
In respect of an intangible asset, borrowing costs attributable
to the construction of power plants are capitalised up to the date
of commercial operations date (COD). All borrowing costs subsequent
to the COD are charged to the Income Statement in the year in which
such costs are incurred.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year in which they
are incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property,
plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives after taking
into account their estimated residual value, using the
straight-line method as stated below:
Furniture and fittings 5 years
Office equipment 3-5 years
Computers 4 years
Vehicles 5 years
Plant and machinery 5-50 years
Buildings 20 years
Lease acquisition costs, leasehold improvements and leased
assets are depreciated over the primary period of the lease or
estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is less. Assets
under construction are not depreciated, as they are not available
for use.
The depreciation methods, useful lives and residual value, are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate. The Group adopted component accounting of depreciation
for the plant and machinery class of the property, plant and
equipment.
During the year, Management has re-assessed and revised the
estimated useful lives to the Wind Turbine Generators (WTG's) based
on experience and technical evaluation. The Company also revised
the residual value between 0 - 10% (previous year: 20%) of the
cost, in order to reflect the actual usage of the assets. The
revised useful lives of the components of Plant and Machinery or
WTG's are as follows:
Component of plant and Revised useful Prior year
machinery life useful life
-------------------------------- --------------- -------------
Nacelles and its parts 15 years 25 years
Rotor blades 15 years 30 years
Tubular towers and Civil 50 years 50 years
works - Tower
Transformers 25 years 25 years
Final testing and commissioning 15 years 25 years
Electrical works and 10 years 50 years
Civil works - Others
Power evacuation 20 years 20 years
-------------------------------- --------------- -------------
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
Impairment
At each reporting date, management reviews the carrying amounts
of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication
that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the
recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense
immediately. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of
its value in use and fair value less cost to sell. Value in use is
based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to
the asset.
3.8 Intangible assets
The Group has identified the following intangible assets.
a) Service Concession Arrangements (SCA)
b) Software
Service Concession Arrangements
Under the SCAs, where the Group has received the right to charge
the State Electricity Utilities (Grantor), such rights are
recognised and classified as "Intangible Assets". Such right is not
an unconditional right to receive consideration because the amounts
are contingent to the extent the Grantor uses the services and thus
are recognised and classified as intangible assets.
Software
Software that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful
lives are measured at costs less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
The amortization method used is selected on the basis of the
expected pattern of consumption of the expected future economic
benefits embodied in the asset, and is applied consistently from
period to period, unless there is a change in the expected pattern
of consumption of those future economic benefits. The Group
determined that the amortisation method that reflects appropriately
the expected pattern of consumption of the expected future economic
benefits is correlated with the amortisation of the asset base.
Intangibles are amortised over its useful life using straight
line method as stated below:
Service Concession Arrangements - Over the period of Power
Purchase Agreement i.e., 25 years using the differential
depreciation methodology under straight line method as per the
principles envisaged in the CERC Guidance in this regard.
Application software 4 years
ERP software license 4 years
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively if
appropriate.
3.9 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and
deferred tax.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income
for the year, using the rates enacted or substantially enacted at
the reporting date. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported
in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of
income or expense that are taxable or deductible in future years
and it further excludes items that are permanently exempt from tax
or allowable as a tax deduction.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in
the computation of the taxable profit, and is accounted for using
the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which deductible
temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities
are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the
initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition
(other than in a business combination) of other assets and
liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable
profit nor the accounting profit.
3. Significant accounting policies (Continued)
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each
balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow
all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Any deferred tax asset or liability arising from deductible or
taxable temporary differences in respect of unrealised
inter-company profits are recognised using the tax rate enacted or
substantially enacted of the jurisdiction in which the company owns
the assets.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is
realised on tax laws and rates that have been enacted at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged in the consolidated
income statement, except when it relates to items charged or
credited in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred
tax is also recognised with in other comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied
by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
3.10 Leases
Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the
arrangement is or contains a lease. At inception or on
re-assessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group
separates the payment and other consideration required by the
arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements
on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes
for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the
payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at
an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset.
Subsequently, the liability is reduced as the payments are made and
an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the
Group's incremental borrowing rate.
Leased Assets
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of
the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incident
to the ownership. The leased assets are measured initially at an
amount equal to the lower of their fair value and present value of
minimum lease payments. All other leases are classified as
operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in
which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as
an expense in the year in which they are incurred. Land taken on
lease are amortised over a year ranging upto 25 years in line with
the lease agreements.
3.11 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation, as a result of past events, and it is
probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably
estimated will be required to settle such an obligation. If the
effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net
present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding
of the discount is recognised in the consolidated income statement
as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet
date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
A contingent liability is disclosed where the existence of an
obligation will only be confirmed by one or more future events or
where the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are not recognised, but are disclosed where an
inflow of economic benefits is probable.
A provision for onerous contracts, if any, is measured at the
present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the
contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.
Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any
impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
3.12 Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits
Short term employee benefits are expensed as the related
services are provided. A liability is recognised for the amount
expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past
service provided by the employee and the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are
expensed as the related service is provided.
Defined benefit plans
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans
is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of
future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior
years, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any
plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed
annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit
method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the
Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of
economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from
the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To
calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is
given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which
comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other
comprehensive income (OCI). The Group determines the net interest
expense/ (income) on the net defined benefit liability/ (asset) for
the year by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined
benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual year to the
then-net defined benefit liability/ (asset), taking into account
any changes in the net defined benefit liability/ (asset) during
the year as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net
interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit
plans are recognized in consolidated income statement.
3.13 Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees, directors and
key management personnel are measured at the fair value of the
equity instruments at the grant date with a corresponding increase
in the equity over the vesting year, based on the Group's estimate
of equity instruments that will eventually vest. The fair value
excludes the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions.
At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of
the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of
the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of
the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in
the income statement such that the cumulative expense reflects the
revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to equity
reserves.
Share options granted to employees are treated as cancelled as
and when employees cease to contribute to the scheme. This results
in accelerated recognition of the expenses that would have arisen
over the remainder of the original vesting year.
For cash settled share based payments, a liability is recognised
for the amount payable at the balance sheet date with a
corresponding charge being made to the income statement.
3.14 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS")
data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the
effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which includes
all stock options granted to employees and Directors, CCPS, CCDs
and share warrants issued to investors and lenders.
3.15 Government grants
The Group recognises government grants only when there is
reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be
complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants
received in relation to assets are presented as a reduction to the
carrying amount of the related asset. Grants related to income are
recognised as a credit to the consolidated income statement.
3.16 Finance income and expense
Finance income consists of interest income on funds invested
(including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income
and gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues in the consolidated
income statement, using the effective interest method. Dividend
income is recognised in the consolidated income statement on the
date that the Company's right to receive payment is established.
The associated cash flows are classified as investing activities in
the statement of cash flows.
Finance expenses consist of interest expense on borrowings.
Borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement
using the effective interest method. The associated cash flows are
classified as financing activities in the statement of cash
flows.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis
with in finance income and expense.
4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are
described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects
only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if
the revision affects both current and future years.
Critical judgements and estimates in applying the Group's
accounting policies
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
a) Useful life of depreciable assets and intangible assets under service concession arrangement
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets and
intangible assets at each reporting date, based on the expected
utility of the assets to the Group and any change in useful lives
and methods of depreciation/amortisation are adjusted prospectively
if appropriate.
b) Classification of financial instruments as equity or liability
Significant judgement is required to apply the rules under IAS
32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 39: Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to assess whether an
instrument is equity or a financial liability. Management has
exercised significant judgement to evaluate the terms and
conditions of certain financial instruments with reference to the
applicability of contingent settlement provisions, evaluation of
whether options under the contract will be derivative or a
non-derivative, assessing if certain settlement terms are within
the control of the Company and if not whether the occurrence of
these events are extremely rare, highly abnormal and very unlikely,
clarifications between the parties to the agreement subsequent to
the date of the agreement to conclude that the instruments be
classified as an equity instrument.
c) Deferred tax assets
The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in
which deferred tax assets can be utilised is based on the Group's
latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant
non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of
any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in India in which the
Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration. If a
positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a
deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilised without a
time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full.
The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain
legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually
by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.
d) Recoverability of trade receivables
The Group analyses the historical payment patterns of customers,
customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness and current
economic trends on an ongoing basis. If the financial condition of
a customer deteriorates, additional provision is made in the
accounts.
e) Determination if the arrangement meets the definition of a
service concession under IFRIC 12 Service Concession
Arrangements
Management had assessed the applicability of IFRIC 12: Service
Concession Arrangements for certain arrangements. In assessing the
applicability, management had exercised significant judgement in
relation to the underlying ownership of the assets, the ability to
enter into Power Purchase Arrangements ('PPA') with any customer
and the ability to determine prices and concluded that the
arrangements do not meet the criteria for service concession
arrangements in the past.
During the year, as a result of review of useful lives of
Property Plant and Equipment ('PPE'), based on technical
evaluation, wherever the estimated economic life of wind and solar
projects are in line with the PPA period i.e 25 years, management
has adopted IFRIC 12 prospectively for such wind and solar assets.
Management believe that the financial statements will provide more
reliable and relevant information with the application of IFRIC
12.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation
uncertainty (continued)
In assessing the applicability of IFRIC 12, Management has
exercised significant judgement in relation to (i) the arrangements
that are covered under the scope of the accounting for service
concessions which in turn depends on the specific terms and
conditions of the power purchase agreements with the counter
parties and estimates of the life of the related assets, (ii) the
understanding of the nature of the payments in order to determine
the classification of the service concession arrangement as a
financial asset or as an intangible asset and (iii) the recognition
of the revenue from construction including the timing and related
margin to be recognized.
f) Measurement of fair value
The Group has an established control framework with respect to
the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that
has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair
value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports
directly to the CFO (Chief Financial Officer).
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable
inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such
as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair
values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from
third parties to support the conclusion that such valuation meets
the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value
hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit
Committee.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the
Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values
are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy
based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as
follows:
-- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that is not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of asset or
liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair
value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in
its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the
lowest level input that is significant to the entire
measurement.
g) Measurement of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBIDTA)
The Group has elected to present earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation (EBIDTA) as a separate line item on
the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Group measures
EBIDTA on the basis of profit / (loss) from continuing operations.
In its measurement, the Company has not included depreciation and
amortisation expenses, finance cost, equity settled employee
benefits expenses, tax expense and finance income.
5. Segment information
IFRS 8 establishes standards for the way to report information
on operating segments and related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Group
operations predominantly relate to generation and sale of
electricity. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the
Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of
various performance indicators at operational unit level.
Accordingly, there is only a single operating segment "generation
and sale of electricity". Consequently, no segment disclosures of
the Group are presented.
The Group has all of its non-current assets located within India
and earns its revenues from customers located in India.

The Company is exempt from Guernsey income tax under the Income
Tax (Exempt bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 and is subject to an
annual fee of USD 1,480. As such, the Company's tax liability is
zero. However, considering that the Company's operations are
entirely based in India, the effective tax rate of the Group of
34.61% (31 December 2015:34.61%) has been computed based on the
current tax rates prevailing in India
Indian companies are subject to corporate income tax or Minimum
Alternate Tax ("MAT"). If MAT is greater than corporate income tax
then MAT is levied. The Company has recognised MAT of USD 1,558,712
(31 December 2015: USD 3,538,655) as MAT is greater than corporate
income tax for the current year. The tax expense represents current
tax charge and non-cash net deferred tax liability on timing
differences accounted during the year.

reporting date but against which the Group has not recognised any
allowance for doubtful receivables because there has not been a
significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still
recoverable. The average age of the receivables was 118 days during
the year ended 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: 86 days)

Defined contribution plan
Provident fund:

qualified employees' pay to fund the benefits. These contributions
are made to a fund administered and managed by the Government of
India. The Group's monthly contributions are charged to the
consolidated income statement in the year they are incurred.
The total cost charged to consolidated income statement of USD
50,011 (31 December 2015: USD 32,150) represents contributions
payable to these schemes by the Group at rates specified in the
rules of the plan. As at 31 December 2016, contributions of USD nil

reporting year.
28. Retirement benefit obligations (continued)
Defined benefit plan
(a) Gratuity
In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 of India,
the Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan
(the 'Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees. The Group makes
annual contributions under the Gratuity Plan to Life Insurance
Corporation of India to fund the benefit obligation.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related
current service cost and past service cost was measured using the
projected unit credit method.
The projected unit credit method is an accrued benefits
valuation method in which the scheme liabilities make allowance for
projected earnings. The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) is an

but differs from the projected unit cost method in that it includes
no assumption for future salary increases. At the balance sheet
date the gross ABO was USD 340,560 (31 December 2015: USD

(b) Leave encashment
The Group also provides for leave encashment (the "leave
encashment plan"), a defined benefit plan covering eligible
employees. Under the leave encashment plan, employees are entitled
to future payments upon termination of service with the Company,
whether it is by death during service or upon reaching retirement
age. Leaves in excess of 50 days are settled to the employee at the
end of calendar year.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the
related current service cost was measured using the projected unit
credit method.
The projected unit credit method is an accrued benefits
valuation method in which the scheme liabilities make allowance for
projected earnings. The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) is an
actuarial measure of the present value for service already rendered
but differs from the projected unit credit method in that it
includes no assumption for future salary increases. At the balance
sheet date the ABO was USD 270,409 (31 December 2015: USD
155,368).

a) Compulsorily convertible preference shares
In the year ended 31 March 2012, MEIPL issued 11,666,566 Series
A CCPS at INR 300 (USD 6) each to India Infrastructure Fund (IIF)
under an Investment Agreement dated 20 June 2011 between the MEIPL,
IIF and Mr.Ravi Kailas. The following are the salient features of
the CCPS:
-- IIF is entitled to receive a preference dividend before any
dividends are declared to the ordinary shareholders. These carry a
step-up dividend which is cumulative.
-- The CCPS convert into equity shares of MEIPL at a fixed price
of INR 300 (USD 6) per share, for a fixed number of shares, at the
end of six years if the call and put options are not exercised by
either of the parties.
-- As part of the investment agreement, IIF were issued with 100 ordinary shares in MEIPL.
Further, the Company entered into an option agreement with IIF
on the same date whereby the Company can call the CCPS (the "call
option") or alternatively, IIF can put the CCPS (the "put option")
in exchange for cash or a variable number of shares in the Company
providing IIF a stated rate of return. The call option can be
exercised at any time after four years three months and the put
option can be exercised at any time after five years three months
from the date of issue.
In accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation
and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Measurement, upon initial
recognition, the issue proceeds has been segregated in the
financial statements as mentioned below.
The issue proceeds of USD 69,932,181 (net of issue costs of USD
1,891,056) were first attributed to the embedded derivatives, with
the fair value of the options amounting to USD 2,670,325. As the
instrument entitles the holder to a fixed number of shares the
remaining value of the proceeds were bifurcated such that there is
a liability component and an equity component. The liability
component, being USD 11,866,684 was estimated by discounting the
mandatory preference share dividend of six year cash flows using an
interest rate from an equivalent instrument without a conversion
feature, with the residual value of USD 55,395,172 representing
equity. The effective interest rate on the financial liability is
5.6%.
The options are subsequently measured at fair value through
profit and loss and the financial liability is subsequently
measured at amortised cost. The year-end balance of the options was
USD 3,375,881 (31 December 2015: USD 3,429,381) (see consolidated
statement of financial position), the liability component of the
preference shares was USD 2,597,853 (31 December 2015: USD
6,395,056) and the equity component of the CCPS was USD 47,578,193
(31 December 2015: USD 50,704,975).
During the current year, the Group has purchased and bought back
466,667 shares (31 December 2015: 583,334 shares) from IIF at a
premium of INR 300. In accordance with the principles enunciated in
IAS 32, the Company has reduced face value of the CCPS bought back
amounting to USD 3,126,782 (31 December 2015: USD 4,122,949) from
the 'non-controlling interest' and the premium, being the dividend
payable over the term of the CCPS, amounting to USD 2,086,791 (31
December 2015: USD 2,790,287) has been reduced from the liability
component of CCPS.
b) Equity shares held by captive customers
(i) During the year ended 31 December 2014, MVMPL has
commissioned a captive power generating plant in Tamilnadu under
Captive Group Project ("CGP") framework, where the electricity
generated is consumed by a group of consumers. To qualify as a
captive generating plant, an entity must meet the requirements set
forth under the relevant regulations, which specify that a minimum
26% equity interest in the captive generating plant should be held
by a Captive Consumers or group of Captive Consumers. Accordingly,
MVMPL has entered into power purchase agreements (PPA) with Captive
Consumers and issued 5,344,250 (31 December 2015: 4,729,840) equity
shares of INR 10 par value (USD 788,144) (31 December 2015 - USD
782,249). The shares issued to the captive consumers have been
classified as non-controlling interest in these consolidated
financial statements.
(ii) During the year, 240,000 equity shares (@ INR 10/- per
share) of Mytrah Bhagiratha Power Private Limited ("MBHGPPL") have
been issued to prospective Captive Consumers.
c) Class A Equity shares and Series A Debentures held by others:
MVTPL has issued 1,691,160 Class A Equity Shares of INR.50 each
and 29,180,800 Series A Compulsorily Convertible Debentures
("CCDs") at INR 50 each to Guayama P.R Holdings B.V (the
"Investor") under an agreement with Guayama P.R Holdings B.V. As
per the terms of the Agreement, MVTPL based on the availability of
distributable cash surplus shall pay step up Class A Yield on
Series A Debentures as given below:
(i) 7% per annum from the date of investment until 3(rd) anniversary date;
(ii) 10% in the 4(th) year;
(iii) 13% in the 5(th) year;
(iv) 15% in the 6(th) years on cumulative basis;
(v) 17% from 7(th) year onwards till the date of conversion on cumulative basis;
33. Non-controlling interest (continued)
Further based on the availability of distributable cash surplus,
the investor is also eligible for
(i) Specified Class A Yield from the date of its investment till
the date of conversion for the period from the date of investment
till 6(th) anniversary date IRR of 15% on cumulative basis
excluding interest on class A Debentures and any amount paid as
part of buy back of securities.
(ii) After the 6(th) anniversary till the time the investor
holds the security is eligible for 17% IRR on cumulative basis.
Series A Compulsorily Convertible Debentures are compulsorily
convertible after the completion of 6 years from the date of
investment at the fixed ratio of one Class A Equity shares for One
Series A Debenture held. Liquidity events mentioned in the
agreement are under the discretion of the Group and are not
enforceable by the Investor. Management estimated that there is no
distributable cash surplus as per the terms of the agreement to
record any liability as at 31 December 2016.

lease agreements with a term of three years. The lease arrangement
contains a renewal clause providing the Company with the option of
extending the lease for a further period of three years to four
years at the prevailing market rates.
Total operating lease expense recognised in the consolidated
income statement as other expenses is USD 1,381,380 (31 December
2015: USD 789,184). At 31 December 2016, the Group has no
outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under
non-cancellable operating leases.
35. Capital management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the
Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising
the return to stakeholders through its optimisation of the debt and
equity balance.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt, which
includes the borrowings disclosed in note 24 after deducting cash
and bank balances, equity attributable to owners of the Company
comprising issued capital and reserves and retained earnings and
non-controlling interest as disclosed in notes below.
The Group's risk management committee reviews the capital
structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review, the
committee considers the cost of capital and the risks associated
with each class of capital.
The gearing ratio at the year-end is as follows:
As at As at
31 December 2016 31 December 2015
USD USD
Debt (note 24) 945,097,901 674,197,400

Net debt/ (net debt+equity) ratio 87% 83%
Debt is defined as long and short-term borrowings (excluding
derivatives) as detailed in note 24. Equity includes all capital
and reserves of the Group that are managed as capital, including
non-controlling interests of the Group.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods
adopted (including the criteria for recognition, the basis of
measurement and the basis for recognition of income and expenses)
for each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity
instrument are disclosed in note 3.
35. Capital management (continued)
The Group's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide
returns for shareholders and benefits for stakeholders. The Group
also proposes to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital. Hence, the Group may adjust any dividend
payments, return capital to shareholders or issue of new shares.
Total capital is the equity as shown in the consolidated statement
of financial position. Currently, the Group primarily monitors its
capital structure in terms of evaluating the funding of wind farm
and solar projects. Management is continuously evolving strategies
to optimise the returns and reduce the risks. It includes plans to
optimise the financial leverage of the Group.
Equity comprises all components of equity and includes the
non-controlling interests.
36. Financial instruments - Fair values and risk management
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires entities to disclose
measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial
assets and liabilities. Fair values are categorised into different
levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the
valuation techniques as follows:
-- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that is not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

36. Financial instruments - Fair values and risk management
(continued)
Measurement of fair value:
The following is the summary of valuation techniques used in the
measurement of fair value of financial instruments:
Current investments:
Current investments represent the investments in traded mutual
funds, whose fair value is determined by reference to their quoted
market price at the reporting date. The fair value represents the
net asset value as stated by the issuer of these mutual fund units
in the published statements. Net asset value represents the price
at which either the issuer will issue further units in the mutual
fund or the investor can redeem the investments.
Derivative financial instruments:
The fair value of the option contracts embedded in the
derivative financial instruments are determined using binomial
lattice model. The inputs for this model include stock price,
internal rate of return, expected time for option expiry,
volatility, risk free rate, etc.
Financial risk management:
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial
risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Group's primary risk management focus is to minimise potential
adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The
Group's risk management assessment and policies and processes are
established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group,
to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such
risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management
policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in
market conditions and the Group's activities. The Board of
Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the
Group's risk assessment and management policies and processes.
A. Market Risk
(i) Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future
cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rate. The Group's presentation currency
is the US dollar. The Group's exposure to foreign currency arises
in part when the Group holds financial assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of
the entity. Based on the current profile of the Group, the net
liability held in foreign currency is not significant and as such
the Group's exposure to currency risk is limited.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial
instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and bank
balances. Cash and bank balances expose the Group to cash flow
interest rate risk. However, the Group does not carry any fixed
interest bearing financial liabilities that are designated at fair
value through profit or loss except for the derivative financial
instruments embedded in the CCPS, CCDs and share warrants. Hence,
the Group is exposed to the fair value risk on such derivative
financial instruments.
The average interest rate on short-term bank deposits during the
year was 7.11% (31 December 2015: 7.23%).
Interest rate risk management
The primary goal of the Group's investment strategy is to ensure
risk free returns are earned on surplus funds. Market price risk
arises from cash and bank balances held by the Group. The Group
monitors its investment portfolio based on market expectations and
creditworthiness. Material investments within the portfolio are
managed on an individual basis.
36. Financial instruments - Fair values and risk management
(continued)
(ii) Interest rate risk (continued)
The Group's exposure to interest rates on financial instruments
is detailed below:
As at As at
31 December 31 December
2016 2015
USD USD
Financial assets
Cash and bank balances (note 23) 45,172,919 55,577,280
------------ ------------
Total interest rate dependent financial assets 45,172,919 55,577,280
Financial liabilities
Borrowings (note 24) 945,097,901 674,197,400
------------ ------------
Total interest rate dependent financial liabilities 945,097,901 674,197,400
The amounts included above for interest rate dependent financial
assets are fixed interest bearing financial assets.
If the interest rate on INR denominated borrowings had been
increased or decreased by 100 basis points, with all other
variables held constant, post tax income for the year ended 31
December 2016 would have been increased/ decreased by USD 7,599,146
(31 December 2015: USD 4,369,594).
(iii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to mutual funds price (Net Asset Value -
'NAV') risk because of investments in debt-based mutual fund units
held by the Group and classi ed on the statement of financial
position as available-for-sale financial assets. The Group is not
exposed to any commodity price risk. In order to manage its price
risk arising from investment in mutual fund units, the Group
diversi es its portfolio; in accordance with the limits set by the
Group risk management policies.
As the Group invests in mutual fund units which in turn invest
in short-term (in the range 30-90 days) equity instruments with low
yield and hence carry a very minimal mark-to-market risk. Moreover,
the accruals earned by the said units are distributed on a daily
basis; which mainly represents the dividend accruals rather than
the fair value movements. Hence, any reasonable movement in
interest yields are not expected to have any impact on the NAV of
the said units.
B. Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with
the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the
Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity
management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve
borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities. Details of additional undrawn
facilities that the Group has at its disposal to reduce further
liquidity risk are set out below.

C. 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 group's credit risk arises from
accounts receivable balances on the sale of electricity. The Indian
entities have entered into power purchase agreements with
transmission / distribution companies incorporated by the Indian
State Governments and captive customers. The Group is therefore
committed to sell power to these customers and any potential risk
of default is on Government parties. The Group is paid monthly by
the transmission companies and captive customers for the
electricity it supplies. The Group assesses the credit quality of
the purchaser based on its financial position and other
information.
Financial assets that potentially expose the Company to credit
risk consist principally of cash and bank balances, which are held
with institutions with a minimum credit rating of AA. The fair
value of financial assets represents the maximum credit
exposure.
The Group is reliant on a small number of suppliers and
customers. Refer note 20 for the ageing of trade receivables.
The industry currently gets benefits / support from the Indian
Government. Changes in the Government policy could impact tariffs /
taxes which could have an impact on the revenue and the profit of
the Group.

38. Share-based payments
The Group has an equity-settled share option scheme for certain
directors of the Company and employees in the Group. In addition to
the equity-settled share options, the Group makes other minor
issues of cash settled options to its certain employees. These cash
settled grants do not result in the issuance of common stock and
are considered immaterial by the Group. All options have a vesting
period over three years. Each share option converts into one
ordinary share of the concerned entity on exercise. Options may be
exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of the
expiry. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient until the
receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to
dividends nor voting rights. Options lapse if the employee leaves
the concerned entity before the options vest.

generator" filed an arbitration application before the High Court
of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh ('Honorable High Court') seeking
appointment of an arbitrator alleging that MEIPL has breached the
terms of an agreement and is liable for liquidated damages. The
High Court, accordingly, appointed an Arbitrator and the
application was disposed. Subsequently, the Arbitrator appointed by
the High Court has passed away. MEIPL is yet to receive any notice
from High Court on any fresh proceedings in this regard. Management
has not acknowledged these claims as debts, given the nature of the
underlying dispute, allegations between the parties and significant
uncertainties relating to the financial claims. Further, based on a
legal opinion, no additional disclosure is considered necessary as
required under IAS 37.
