Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet inrespect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation at the end ofthe reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.The defined benefit obligation is calculated annuallyby actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligationdenominated in Rupees is determined by discountingthe estimated future cash outflows by reference tomarket yields at the end of the reporting period ongovernment bonds that have terms approximating tothe terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying thediscount rate to the net balance of the defined benefitobligation and the fair value of plan assets. Thiscost is included in employee benefit expense in thestatement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising fromexperience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in the period in which theyoccur, directly in Other Comprehensive Income. Theyare included in Retained Earnings in the Statement ofChanges in Equity and in the Balance Sheet.

- the after income tax effect of interest and otherfinancing costs associated with dilutive potentialequity shares, and
- the weighted average number of additionalequity shares that would have been outstandingassuming the conversion of all dilutivepotential equity shares.
(t) Statement of cash flow

2.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements under IndAS requires management to take decisions and makeestimates and assumptions that may impact the valueof revenues, costs, assets and liabilities and the relateddisclosures concerning the items involved as well ascontingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated andare based on historical experience and other factors,including expectations of future events that are believed tobe reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company makes estimates and assumptionsconcerning the future. The resulting accounting estimateswill, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.The estimates and assumptions that have a significant riskof causing a material adjustment to the carrying amountsof assets and liabilities within the next financial year arediscussed below:
(a) Useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company has estimated its useful lives of windpower assets based on the expected wear and tear,industry trends etc. In actual, the wear and tear canbe different. When the useful lives differ from theoriginal estimated useful lives, the Company willadjust the estimated useful lives accordingly. It ispossible that the estimates made based on existingexperience are different to the actual outcomes withinthe next financial period and could cause a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of Property,Plant and Equipment.
(b) Income taxes
There are transactions and calculations for whichthe ultimate tax determination is uncertain and wouldget finalized on completion of assessment by taxauthorities. Where the final tax outcome is differentfrom the amounts that were initially recorded,such differences will impact the income tax anddeferred tax provisions in the period in which suchdetermination is made.
The Company is eligible to claim tax holiday on incomegenerated from wind power generation. The deferredtax on temporary differences which are reversing
after the tax holiday period have been estimatedconsidering future projections and Company’s planto start claiming tax holiday in certain years. It ispossible that this estimate may be different to theactual outcome within the next financial periods andcould cause material adjustments to the deferred taxrecognised in financial statements. (Refer note 15)
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused taxlosses to the extent that it is probable that taxableprofit will be available against which the same canbe utilised. Significant management judgement isrequired to determine the amount of deferred taxassets that can be recognised, based upon the likelytiming and the level of future taxable profits togetherwith future tax planning strategies.
(c) Fair value measurement and valuation process
The Company measured its investments in equityshares of subsidiaries at fair value and certain financialassets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
The fair values of investments in subsidiaries arenot quoted in an active market and are determined
by using valuation techniques, primarily earningsmultiples and discounted cash flows. The modelsused to determine fair values including estimates /judgements involved are validated and periodicallyreviewed by the management. The inputs used in thevaluation models include unobservable data of theCompanies which are categorised within level III fairvalue measurements. They are based on historicalexperience, technical evaluation and other factors,including expectations of future events. Consideringthe level of estimation involved and unobservableinputs, the Company has engaged a third partyqualified valuer to perform the valuation. Based onthe actual performance of respective subsidiariesproject, the inputs considered for valuation may varymaterially and could cause a material adjustment tocarrying amount of investments. (Refer note 16).

(a) Dhirubhai Ambani Green Tech Park Limited (DAGTPL) (formerly known as "Coastal Andhra Power Limited")
DAGTPL was incorporated to develop an imported coal-based Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) of 3,960 MW capacity locatedin Krishnapatnam, District Nellore, in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
The project was awarded to Reliance Power Limited (RPL) through international tariff-based competitive bidding process. Onemerging successful, 100% ownership of DAGTPL was transferred to RPL pursuant to execution of a Share Purchase Agreement(SPA); thereafter RPL became the Parent Company of DAGTPL.
Consequent to change in Indonesian law, that led to increase in coal cost, the project became unviable. DAGTPL made variousattempts to restore viability through appropriate changes in PPA with the Procurers. Since no resolution could be arrived,DAGTPL invoked the dispute resolution provision of the PPA. The procurers also issued a notice for termination of the PPA andraised a demand for liquidated damages of C 40,000 lakhs. The procurers have encashed the Performance Bank Guarantees ofC 30,000 lakhs towards recovery of their liquidated damages claim.
DAGTPL filed a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) for referring the dispute to arbitration.Subsequently DAGTPL requested CERC to adjudicate the dispute itself and allow to file substantive petition which CERCvide order dated October 23, 2021 granted and disposed of the said Petition as withdrawn, with a liberty to DAGTPL & RPL toapproach this Hon’ble Commission with a substantive petition. Accordingly substantive petition is filed before CERC and thepetition is currently pending adjudication before CERC. This has been shown as receivable from procurer.
Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP), citing that the project has not been developed for last 10 years; has issued three landresumption orders dated July 22, 2017, February 25, 2021 and February 27, 2021. Aggrieved by this, DAGTPL and RPL havefiled a Writ Petitions (WP 33246 of 2017 and WP 5058 of 2021) in High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati praying for settingaside the relevant land resumption orders.
Currently, as there is an increased awareness on environment and climate change aspects from pollution arising from usage ofconventional fossil fuels, India has embarked on an ambitious target of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Recentlythe Government of India (“GOI”) has approved National Hydrogen Mission and Green Hydrogen is becoming a strong agent todrive industrial decarbonization. GoAP also announced a green hydrogen and green ammonia policy 2023.
Considering the above, DAGTPL submitted a proposal to set up green hydrogen / green ammonia and integrated solar PV basedpower generation project in Krishnapatnam and submitted a request to GoAP for inter alia change of land use from coal basedUMPP to renewable energy based projects. GoAP considered the request of DAGTPL and approved the same. DAGTPL haswithdrawn the Writ Petitions 33246 of 2017 and 5058 of 2021 pending before Hon’ble Andhra Pradesh High Court. Thereafter,District Administration has handed over the land back to DAGTPL.
DAGTPL has submitted a proposal to GoAP for converting the land held by it into an Industrial Park under the Andhra Pradesh- Policy for Establishment of Private Industrial Parks with “Plug & Play” Industrial Infrastructure (4.0). The proposal is currentlyunder consideration of the GoAP.
(b) Samalkot Power Limited ("SMPL")
The management had planned to set up a gas-based power plant consisting of 3 modules of 754 MW each at Samalkot(Andhra Pradesh), with gas being sourced from KG-D6 basin. After making significant progress in the construction of the saidplant, SMPL stopped further construction of the plant due to severe domestic gas shortage and non-availability of long-termdomestic gas linkage.

The Company proposed to develop a 7,480 MW gas-based power project to be located at Dadri, District Hapur, Uttar Pradesh in the year2003. The Government of Uttar Pradesh (the GoUP) in the year 2004 acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company inthe year 2005, However, certain land owners challenged the acquisition of land by the GoUP for the project before the Hon’ble Allahabad HighCourt. The Hon’ble Allahabad High Court quashed a part of land acquisition proceedings. Subsequently, in the appeals filed by the Companyand land owners against the findings of the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held the land acquisition proceedingsas lapsed but upheld the right of the Company to recover the amount paid in any other proceeding. The Company has represented the GoUPseeking compensation towards the cost incurred on the land acquisition as well as other incidental expenditure thereto. Considering theabove facts, the Company has classified assets related to the Dadri project under the head ‘Assets classified as held for sale’ the Companyhas fully provided for receivables of h 15,005 lakhs against the Dadri project. However, GoUP did not pay the agreed balance amounthence Company invoked Arbitration Clause. Arbitration Tribunal pronounced the Award on June 20, 2022 allowing claim of C 9,955 lakhsto the Company from Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP). Subsequently GoUP challenged the said Award under Sec 34 of Arbitration &Conciliation Act 1994 before Delhi High Court. On September 05, 2023, this Sec 34 was heard in part and the Hon'ble Court granted stay toGoUP subject to deposit of entire award amount along with upto date interest, in court within one week and adjourned to October 03, 2023 forfurther hearing. Thereafter GoUP deposited the amount in the Court on September 13, 2023. Moreover, the Company has also filed petitionbefore Delhi High Court for execution of Award under section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1994 which is listed on July 24, 2025.
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. While calculating thesensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of thedefined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has beenapplied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet. The methods and types ofassumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(iv) The above defined benefit gratuity plan was administrated 100% by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
(v) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions. The Company will pay demand raised by LIC towards gratuity liabilityon a time-to-time basis to eliminate the deficit in the defined benefit plan. The weighted average duration of the definedbenefit obligation is 2.88 years (March 31,2024 - 2.98 years).
(vi) The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields, if plan assets under perform thisyield, this will create a deficit.

(b) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are(a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in thefinancial statement. The Company has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as short-term loans, tradereceivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposits, security deposits, etc. as their carrying value is areasonable approximation of the fair values. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determiningfair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the Indian AccountingStandards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table:
(e) Valuation technique used to determine fair values
The fair value of financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The carrying amount of current financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to theirshort-term nature.
The fair value of the long-term borrowings with floating rate of interest is not impacted due to interest rate changes and will beevaluated for their carrying amounts based on any change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company borrowing (since thedate of inception of the loans).
Note
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) isdetermined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Thisis the case for unlisted equity securities which are included in level 3.
There are no transfers between any levels during the year.
The Company’s policy is to recognise transfer into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting ina financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets carried at amortised cost anddeposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to trade customers including outstanding receivables.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leadingto a financial loss.
The Company’s credit risk arises from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity is based on tariff rate approved byelectricity regulator and inter-corporate deposits/loans are given to subsidiaries / step-down subsidiaries incorporated as specialpurpose vehicle for power projects awarded to the Company. The credit risk is very low as the sale of electricity is based on theterms of the PPA which has been approved by the Regulator. With respect to inter-corporate deposits/ loans given to subsidiaries/ step-down subsidiaries, the Company will be able to control the cash flows of those subsidiaries / step-down subsidiaries as thesubsidiaries / step-down subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company.
For deposits with banks and financial institutions, only highly rated banks/institutions are accepted. Generally, all policiessurrounding credit risk have been managed at the Company level. The Company’s policy to manage this risk is to invest in debtsecurities that have a good credit rating.
(b) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of fundingthrough an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Dueto the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company’s treasury function maintains flexibility in funding by maintainingavailability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expectedcash flows. This is generally carried out at the operating subsidiaries level of the Company in accordance with practice and limitsset by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.In addition, the Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering thelevel of liquid assets necessary to meet these monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatoryrequirements and maintained debt financing plans.
Periodic budgets and rolling forecasts are prepared at the level of operating subsidiaries as regular practice and in accordancewith limits specified by the Company. The Company has been pursuing proposed strategic transactions/ sale of assets andoverall financial restructuring, when executed, would make available the required liquidity for the continuing business.
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of volatility of pricesin the financial markets. Currently the Company has no risk due to volatility of prices in the financial markets.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not engage in any foreign currency transactions or hold any foreigncurrency assets / liabilities, hence, it is not susceptible to foreign currency risk.
(ii) 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 changesin market interest rates. The Company does not have any variable interest-bearing assets or liabilities, hence, it is notexposed to interest rate risk.
The Company’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk asdefined in Ind AS-107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change inmarket interest rates.
18 Capital management(a) Risk management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern toprovide returns for shareholders and benefits other stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost ofcapital.
