v Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
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 Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of amount cannot be made.
Contingent liabilities may arise from litigation, taxation and other claims against the Company. The contingent liabilities are disclosed where it is management's assessment that the outcome of any litigation and other claims against the Company is uncertain or cannot be reliably quantified, unless the likelihood of an adverse outcome is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each reporting date.
A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured
at its fair value. Subsequently, it is remeasured as per provisions of Ind AS 103.
w Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date whether there is any indication that assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit ("CGU") is fair value less costs to disposal and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Company enters into transaction with suppliers that involves prepayment in conjunction with advances for goods and services wherein the Company assesses at each reporting date whether goods against the advance is recoverable and if there is any indication, the asset may be provided.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at March 31 and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budget and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company's cash-generating unit to which the individual assets are allocated. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budget /
forecasts, the Company estimates cash flow projections based on estimated growth rate.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
x Mine Development Expenditure
i) Expenditure incurred towards coal mines under construction are capitalised to 'Coal Mines under construction' as long as they meet the capitalisation criteria and is presented as capital work-in-progress. Upon commencement of production stage, the 'Coal Mines under construction' is capitalised and presented as 'Mining Rights' under Intangible Assets except in situation when the Company decide to surrender its rights in mine and amount is classified as recoverable from Nominated Authorities.
ii) Mining Rights are amortised using unit-of- production method on the basis of proven and probable reserves on commencement of commercial production.
Mine Closure Obligations
The liability for meeting the mine closure has been estimated based on the mine closure plan in the proportion of total area exploited to the total area of the mine as a whole. These costs are updated annually during the life of the mine to reflect the developments in mining activities. The mine closure obligations are included in Mining Rights under Intangible assets and amortised based on unit of production method.
y Amended standards adopted by the Company
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, except for amendments to the existing Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). The Company has not early adopted any other standard,
interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified new standards or amendment to existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.
The Company applied following amendments for the first-time during the current year which are effective from April 1, 2024:
i) Introduction of Ind AS 117
MCA notified Ind AS 117, a comprehensive standard that prescribe, recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements, to avoid diversities in practice for accounting insurance contracts and it applies to all companies i.e., to all "insurance contracts" regardless of the issuer. However, Ind AS 117 is not applicable to the entities which are insurance companies registered with IRDAI.
Additionally, amendments have been made to Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, Ind AS 103, Business Combinations, Ind AS 105, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments and Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to align them with Ind AS 117. The amendments also introduce enhanced disclosure requirements, particularly in Ind AS 107, to provide clarity regarding financial instruments associated with insurance contracts.
ii) Amendments to Ind AS 116 -Lease liability in a sale and leaseback
The amendments require an entity to recognise lease liability including variable lease payments which are not linked to index or a rate in a way it does not result into gain on Right-of-use asset it retains.
The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that these amendments do not have a significant impact on the Company's Financial Statements.
3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and any revisions thereto are recognised in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. Uncertainties 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.
Key Sources of estimation uncertainty :
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. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
i) Useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
In case of the power plant equipment, where the life of the assets has been estimated at 25 or 40 years based on technical assessment, taking into account the estimated usage of the asset and the current operating condition of the asset, depreciation on the same is provided based on the useful life of each component based on technical assessment, if materially different from that of the main asset.
ii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
In estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, the Company uses
market observable data to the extent available. Where such Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company establishes appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements 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. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in note 55.
iii) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan 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. Information about the various estimates and assumptions made in determining the present value of defined benefit obligations are disclosed in note 59.
iv) Impairment of non financial assets
For determining whether Property, Plant and Equipment, intangible asset and goodwill are impaired, it requires an estimation of the value in use of the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow model over the estimated useful life of the Power Plants. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to tariff, change in law claims, operational performance of the Plants, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variations, inflation, terminal value etc. which are
considered reasonable by the Management. (Refer note 50).
v) Impairment of Investments made / Loans given to subsidiaries
In case of investments made and loans given by the Company to its subsidiaries, the Management assesses whether there is any indication of impairment in the value of investments and loans. The carrying amount is compared with the present value of future net cash flow of the subsidiaries based on its business model or estimates is made of the fair value of the identified assets held by the subsidiaries, as applicable.
vi) Taxes
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies, including estimates of temporary differences reversing on account of available benefits under the Income Tax Act, 1961. (Also refer note 26).
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
vii) Income / Revenue
Revenue from Operations on account of Force Majeure / Change in Law events or Interest Income on account of carrying cost in terms of Power Purchase Agreements / Supplemental Power Purchase Agreements with various State Power Distribution Utilities is accounted for / recognised by the Company based on best management estimates following principles of prudence, as per the orders / reports of Regulatory Authorities, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India ("Hon'ble Supreme Court”) and the outstanding receivables thereof in the books of account have been adjusted / may be subject
to adjustments on account of consequential orders of the respective Regulatory Authorities, the Hon'ble Supreme Court and final closure of the matters with the respective Discoms. (Refer note 34 and 35).
In certain cases, the Company has claimed compensation from the Discoms based on management's interpretation of the regulatory orders and various technical parameters including provisional methodology for coal cost recovery, which are subject to final verification and confirmation by the respective Discoms, and hence, in these cases, the revenues have been recognised during various financial years / periods, on a prudent basis with conservative attributable parameters in the books. The necessary true-up adjustments for revenue claims (including carrying cost / delayed payment surcharge) are made in the books on final acknowledgement / regulatory orders / settlement of matters with respective Discoms or eventual recovery of the claims, whichever is earlier.
In case of Udupi TPP, Revenue from sale of power and other income is recognised upon judgement by the management for recoverability of the claims based on the relevant contractual terms / provisional tariff rates as provided by the regulator / governing tariff regulations, to the extent applicable, having regard to mechanism provided in applicable tariff regulations and the bilateral arrangement with the customers, which may be subject to adjustments in future years, on receipt of final orders of the respective Regulatory Authorities or final closure of the matter with the customers. (Refer note 34 and 35).
viii) Classification of Trade Receivables
In cases of circumstances / matters where there are pending litigations on regulatory matters / change in law claims, the classification of disputed / undisputed trade receivables is a matter of judgement based on facts and circumstances. The Company has evaluated the fact pattern and circumstances including ongoing discussions with the Discoms for each such regulatory matter pending to be adjudicated by the relevant authority.
In cases, where rule of law and principles of economic restitution have already been established by APTEL / Supreme Court in similar matters, the revenues are recognised on prudent and conservative technical parameters, significant amounts have been recovered already and the management does not perceive any downside risks in future on final adjudication by Supreme Court and settlement of matter with Discoms, the related receivables are classified as undisputed.
In cases, where discussions with Discoms have not made reasonable progress and matters are sub-judice, the related receivables are classified as disputed, even though the management is reasonably confident of recovering the dues in full, backed by the regulatory orders in favour of the Company.
ix) Mega Power Status
One of the thermal power plant has availed exemption of customs / excise duty in pursuance to terms of the provisional mega power policy as notified by the Government of India. The Company has not recognised for the reduction in cost to property, plant and equipment as a grant, pending compliance of terms of Mega Power Status which needs to be attained within 156 months, i.e. September, 2022, from the date of import of
plant and equipment as per approval by the Ministry of Power ("MoP"), Government of India vide amendment dated April 07, 2022. Ministry of Power vide its letter dt. December 19, 2024, has granted proportional Final Mega Power Certificate to the extent of 71% of the installed capacity which is tied up under long term Power Purchase Agreements. For the balance untied installed capacity of 29%, the Management is confident to receive the extension to comply with the conditions for balance capacity.
x) Applicability of Appendix D - Service Concession Arrangements of Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company has entered into PPAs with various state DISCOMs for supplying power for a period upto 25 years from its thermal power plants (TPP). These TPPs have been set up on Build-Own-Operate basis with no transfer of assets at the end of the term of PPA. The management is of the view that PPA does not cover the entire life of these power plants. Further, the DISCOMs does not control any significant residual interest and does not restrict the Company's practical ability to sell or pledge these assets. Accordingly, the management is of the view that Appendix D to Ind AS 115 is not applicable to the Company.

(d) Apart from above, in one of the matters relating to cost factor for computation of tariff compensatory claim, on account of consumption of alternate coal, based on the claim amount billed by the Company, MSEDCL filed an appeal with APTEL although the Company has favorable tariff compensation order from MERC dated September 11,2021 in the matter. APTEL vide its order dated July 09, 2024 dismissed the appeal filed by MSEDCL. Subsequently, MSEDCL filed an appeal with Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter which is pending adjudication. Further, during the year ended March 31, 2024, MSEDCL has also filed a petition with MERC w.r.t. the interpretation of its earlier order relating to compensation for in¬ land transportation cost factor for transfer of domestic coal.
Currently, the Company has continued to recognise the compensation claim on best estimate basis pending settlement of petition and does not expect any adverse outcome in the matter.
34 Revenue from Operations (Contd...)
ii) In case of PPAs governed by section 62 of Electricity Act, 2003, the Company recognises revenue from sale of power based on the most recent tariff order / provisional tariff approved by the respective Regulatory Commission, as modified by the orders of Appellate Tribunal for Electricity ('APTEL!') / Regulatory commissions and necessary provisions / adjustment considered on conservative basis. This revenue is recognized having regard to mechanism provided in applicable tariff regulations and the bilateral arrangements with the Discoms. Such tariff orders are subject to conclusion of final tariff orders in terms of Multiyear Tariff ("MYT”) Regulations at the end of respective tariff period.
iii) In respect of Kawai TPP
In the matter relating to shortfall in availability of domestic linkage coal, the Hon'ble Supreme Court vide its order dated August 31, 2020 has admitted all tariff compensation claims for additional coal costs incurred for power generation and the Company continues to realise the claim amount towards compensation. During the previous year, Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited ("RUVITL') (formerly known as Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited) has filed a fresh petition before Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission ("RERC”) primarily challenging the methodology and operating parameters considered while arriving at the tariff compensation claim for additional coal cost incurred for power generation by the Company which had earlier been settled by RUVITL in March, 2022 based on Hon'ble Supreme Court order dated August 31, 2020. The RERC vide its order dated September 01, 2023 dismissed the petition of RUVITL. RUVITL has now preferred an appeal with APTEL against the ruling of RERC. The Company continues to recognise the revenue based on the principle as approved in the order passed by the Hon'ble Supreme court.
iv) In respect of Mundra TPP
(a) The Company and Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited ("GUVNL') had entered into an additional Supplemental Power Purchase Agreements ("SPPAs”) dated March 30, 2022 to resolve all pending matter / dispute relating to Bid 1 and Bid 2 Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA / SPPA”), towards supply of 2434 MW of power and thereby approached CERC to determine the base energy tariff rates for power sales under Bid 1 & Bid 2 SPPAs, with retrospective effect from October 15, 2018, for further submission to the Government of Gujarat ("GoG”). CERC vide its order dated June 13, 2022 recommended the base energy tariff rates for final approval of GoG which is still pending as on reporting date. CERC order allows the Company and GUVNL to mutually agree on adoption of six monthly or monthly CERC escalation index to apply over base energy tariff rate as on October 2018 as per the provisions of earlier SPPA dated December 05, 2018 having impact on determination of subsequent period energy rates.
(b) Pending approval of the base energy tariff rate by GoG and also the mutual agreement between the Company and GUVNL as regards adoption of monthly / six-monthly CERC escalation index, the Company has been supplying power to GUVNL based on certain mechanism whereby actual fuel cost incurred gets pass through in the billing of energy charges, from March 01, 2022 onwards till date as per understanding with GUVNL for the purpose of additional Supplemental PPA dated March 30, 2022. The Company also realised significant amounts of invoices billed to GUVNL, although there are certain deductions made by GUVNL which are pending reconciliation / settlement. During the previous year, the Company received communication from GUVNL seeking refund of ' 1,172.69 crore towards energy charges on account of adjustment of coal cost in respect of power supplied during October 15, 2018 to March 31, 2023, which was adjusted in the books as a matter of caution, though disputed by company with GUVNL.
The Company continues to recognise energy charges revenue as per amount billed based on actual fuel costs since the date of SPPA, pending approval of base energy tariff and agreement between the Company and GUVNL regarding adoption of method of CERC escalation index, which has impact on the Company's energy charges claims, depending on the trend of coal price movement. The escalation index has positive impact on energy charges as at reporting date but Company continues to invoice energy charges on actual fuel cost basis. The Company does not expect any adverse outcome in this matter.
34 Revenue from Operations (Contd...)
(c) In respect of the matter relating to shortfall in availability of domestic coal under Fuel Supply Agreement ("FSAs”) with Coal India Limited's subsidiaries for supply of power against 1424 MW of PPA from Mundra TPP (reduced to 1200 MW PPA pursuant to the SPPAs dated February 28, 2023) with Haryana Discoms, the Hon'ble Supreme Court vide its order dated April 20, 2023 upheld the APTELs orders dated November 3, 2020 and June 30, 2021, allowing the tariff compensation claims (including carrying cost thereon) relating to NCDP and SHAKTI policy, respectively.
Pursuant to the said orders, the Company has recognised additional tariff compensation claims of ' 393.23 crore (including carrying cost of ' 135.55 crore) during the previous year, including pertaining to earlier period on account of realisation of certain additional claims from Haryana Discoms after initial estimation of claims made by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2023.
Further, during the previous year, the Company has also recognised income towards delayed payment interest of ' 961.89 crore (including ' 941.85 crore pertaining to earlier period) as other income based on realisation of such amount from Haryana Discoms based on Company's policy relating to recognition of late / delayed payment surcharge.
(d) The Company has claimed compensation for alternate coal cost incurred for supply of power under 1,200 MW of Supplemental Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) with Haryana Discoms. The Haryana Discoms have sought certain information to validate such claims. Pending final resolution of the matter, Haryana Discoms continue to pay 50% of the claims made by the Company from June 2023 till date. The Company expects a favorable outcome in the matter and has accordingly recognised revenues of ' 891.04 crore during the year, on best estimate basis, which has been fully realised.
v) Revenue from operations and other income (including amounts disclosed separately elsewhere in other notes) includes following amounts pertaining to earlier years, based on the orders received from various regulatory authorities such as MERC / CERC, APTEL, the Hon'ble Supreme Court and reconciliation with Discoms relating to various claims towards change in law events, carrying cost thereon and delayed payment interest.
vi) For regulatory claims / change in law claims, the management recognises income on conservative parameters, since the same are under litigation / pending final settlement with Discoms. The differential adjustments on account of such claims are recognised on resolution of the litigation / final settlement of matter with Discoms, including carrying cost / late payment surcharge.
vii) During the previous year, the Company had disposed off its investments in the subsidiaries, lnnovant Buildwell Private Limited ("IBPL”) (formerly known as Eternus Real Estate Private Limited) (acquired on June 07, 2022) and Aviceda Infra Park Limited ("AIPL'(incorporated on September 05, 2022), by execution of Share Purchase Agreements with AdaniConnex Private Limited for an aggregate consideration of ' 536.22 crore. The net income on such sale of investments amounting to ' 143.50 crore is accounted as other operating revenue.
viii) Godda Thermal Power Plant (”Godda TPP”), is having a long-term Power purchase agreement (PPA) with Bangladesh Power Development Board ("BPDB”) for supply of power from its 1600 MW thermal power station. Since inception of the said PPA, Godda TPP has been supplying power and raising monthly invoice in compliance with PPA and Godda TPP has been receiving payments on a regular basis. The management of the Company is confident of recovering the overdue receivables and late payment surcharge as on reporting date, from BPDB.

The Company has contested the said show cause notice. Further, the management is of the view that such duties on raw material are eligible to be made good to Mundra TPP under the PPA with Discoms or are refundable from the Authorities. Hence, the Company has not considered this as contingent liabilities.
iii) The Company has assessed that it is only possible, but not probable, that outflow of economic resources will be required in respect of above matters.

The Hon'ble Delhi High Court vide its single order dated April 15, 2019 dismissed the petitions on the ground of delay in filling of writ petitions. Consequently, the Company filed petitions before Hon'ble Supreme Court to set aside the order of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court. Pending adjudication of the petitions, Hon'ble Supreme Court directed UoI and others vide its order dated May 30, 2019 that no coercive action to be taken in these matters.
The management expects favourable resolution of these matters and is reasonably confident to realise the entire cost spent towards these coal mines as compensation in the subsequent periods.

The Udupi TPP continues to operate in compliance with all the conditions under Environment Clearance as at March 31, 2025.
50 (a) In respect of Mundra TPP, the management believes that on account of resolution of majority of the issues
relating to tariff compensation claim with GUVNL and Haryana Discoms and also on account of execution of 360 MW PPA with MPSEZ Utilities Limited ("MUL'), and certain other factors, Mundra TPP of the Company would continue to establish profitable operations over a foreseeable future and meet its performance and financial obligations. During the previous year, the Company has resumed supply of power to Haryana Discom and consequently has improved its operational performance in terms of achieving Higher Plant load factor (PLF) and generating positive operating cashflows, hence, based on the assessment of value in use of Mundra TPP, no provision / adjustment is considered necessary to the carrying value of its Mundra TPP related property, plant and equipment aggregating to ' 14,260.35 crore as at March 31, 2025.
(b) On March 31, 2025, the Company has determined the recoverable amounts of all its thermal power plants over their useful lives based on the Cash Generating Units ("CGUs”) identified, as required under Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS”) 36 "Impairment of Assets”, based on the estimates relating to tariff, demand for power, operational performance of the plants, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variations, inflation, terminal value, climate change impact, etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management. On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of the Company has concluded that the recoverable value of all the thermal power plants is higher than their carrying amounts including goodwill assigned to each CGU.
On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of the Company has concluded that the recoverable value of such CGUs individually is higher than their respective carrying amounts as at March 31, 2025. However, if these estimates and assumptions were to change in future, there could be corresponding impact on the recoverable amounts of the Plants.
51 The Company has taken various derivatives to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations on items including principal loan amount, Trade Credits etc. and interest thereof along with interest rate changes. The outstanding position of derivative instruments is as under :
52 Financial Risk Management Objective and Policies :
The Company's risk management activities are subject to the management direction and control under the framework of Risk Management Policy as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Management ensures appropriate risk governance framework for the Company through appropriate policies and procedures and the risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the company policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
The Company's financial liabilities (other than derivatives) comprises mainly of borrowings including interest accrual, leases, trade, capital and other payables. The Company's financial assets (other than derivatives) comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, loans, trade and other receivables.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk.
(i) 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 four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity risk and equity price risk.
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the part of Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a mixed portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. Significant portion of Company's borrowing is in INR (?) and are borrowed at fluctuating interest rate.
The sensitivity analysis have been carried out based on the exposure to interest rates for instruments not hedged against interest rate fluctuation at the end of the reporting period. The said analysis has been carried out on the amount of floating rate liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period. The year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
b) 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 Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (trade receivables) and borrowings in the form of Trade Credits. The Company manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions that are expected to realise in future. The Company also enters into various foreign exchange hedging contracts such as forward covers, swaps, options etc. to mitigate the risk arising out of foreign exchange rate movement on foreign currency borrowings and trade payables (including capital creditors).
Every one percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar on the unhedged exposure of $ 53.50 million as on March 31, 2025 and $ 73.44 million as on March 31, 2024 would have affected the Company's profit or loss for the year as follows:
c) Commodity price risk
The Company's exposure to commodity price is affected by a number of factors including the effect of regulations, the price volatility of coal prices in the market, including imported coal, contract size and length, market condition etc. which is moderated by optimising the procurement under fuel supply agreement and getting compensated under long term power purchase agreements and change in law regulations. In case, the company anticipates non-availability of coal, the same is mitigated by sourcing imported coal in advance to meet the demand. Its operating / trading activities require the on-going purchase for continuous supply of coal and other commodities. Therefore the Company monitors its purchases closely to optimise the procurement cost.
52 Financial Risk Management Objective and Policies : (Contd...)
d) Equity Price risk
The Company does not have equity price risk except to the extent impairment of investment.
(ii) 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.
a) Trade Receivables
The Company is having majority of receivables from State Electricity Boards which are Government undertakings and have interest clause on delayed payments and hence, they are secured from credit losses in the future. Receivables are secured by letter of credit amounting to ' 3,777.84 crore (Previous year ' 3,732.24 crore). Further, the Company holds sovereign guarantee from BPDB for the entire receivables under Power purchase agreement.
b) Financial Guarantee
The Company has issued financial guarantees to banks on behalf of and in respect of loan facilities availed by its subsidiaries. In accordance with the policy of the Company, the Company has recognised these financial guarantees as liability at fair value (Refer note 24 and 31). Outstanding loans in the subsidiary against the financial guarantee contracts given by the Company as at March 31, 2025 is ' 950 crore (Previous year ' Nil).
c) Other Financial Assets
This comprises of deposit with banks, loans, investments in mutual funds, derivative assets and other receivables. The company limits its exposure to credit risks arising from these financial assets and there is no collateral held against these because counter parties are group companies, banks and recognised financial institutions. Banks and recognised financial institutions have high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities.
The Company monitors its liquidity requirement using cash flow forecasting models. These models consider the maturity of its financial investments, committed funding and projected cash flows from operations. The Company's objective is to provide financial resources to meet its business objectives in a timely, cost effective and reliable manner and to manage its capital structure. A balance between continuity of funding and flexibility is maintained through internal accruals as well as adequately adjusting the working capital cycle.
