The amount recognised as a provision is thebest estimate of the consideration required tosettle the present obligation at the end of thereporting period, taking into account the risksand uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation thatarises from past events whose existence will beconfirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrenceof one or more uncertain future events beyondthe control of the Company or a presentobligation that is not recognised because it isnot probable that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle the obligation or a reliableestimate of amount cannot be made.
Contingent liabilities may arise from litigation,taxation and other claims against the Company.The contingent liabilities are disclosed where itis management's assessment that the outcomeof any litigation and other claims against theCompany is uncertain or cannot be reliablyquantified, unless the likelihood of an adverseoutcome is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognised butare disclosed in the notes where an inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingentassets are reviewed at each reporting date.
A contingent liability recognised in abusiness combination is initially measured
at its fair value. Subsequently, it isremeasured as per provisions of Ind AS 103.
The Company assesses, at each reporting datewhether there is any indication that assets maybe impaired. If any such indication exists, theCompany estimates the asset's recoverableamount. An asset's recoverable amount is thehigher of an asset's or cash-generating unit("CGU") is fair value less costs to disposal andits value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated futurecash flows are discounted to their presentvalues using a pre-tax discount rate thatreflects current market assessment of thetime value of money and the risks specific tothe asset. In determining fair value less cost ofdisposal, recent market transactions are takeninto account. If no such transactions can beidentified, an appropriate valuation model isused. These calculations are corroborated byvaluation multiples, quoted share prices forpublicly traded companies or other availablefair value indicators.
The Company enters into transaction withsuppliers that involves prepayment inconjunction with advances for goods andservices wherein the Company assesses ateach reporting date whether goods againstthe advance is recoverable and if there is anyindication, the asset may be provided.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually asat March 31 and when circumstances indicatethat the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined for goodwill byassessing the recoverable amount of each CGU(or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates.
The Company bases its impairment calculationon detailed budget and forecast calculations,which are prepared separately for each ofthe Company's cash-generating unit to whichthe individual assets are allocated. For longerperiods, a long-term growth rate is calculatedand applied to project future cash flows.To estimate cash flow projections beyondperiods covered by the most recent budget /
forecasts, the Company estimates cash flowprojections based on estimated growth rate.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (orcash-generating unit) is estimated to be lessthan its carrying amount, the carrying amountof the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reducedto its recoverable amount. An impairment lossis recognised immediately in the statement ofprofit and loss.
i) Expenditure incurred towards coal minesunder construction are capitalised to'Coal Mines under construction' as long asthey meet the capitalisation criteria andis presented as capital work-in-progress.Upon commencement of production stage,the 'Coal Mines under construction' iscapitalised and presented as 'Mining Rights'under Intangible Assets except in situationwhen the Company decide to surrender itsrights in mine and amount is classified asrecoverable from Nominated Authorities.
ii) Mining Rights are amortised using unit-of-production method on the basis of provenand probable reserves on commencementof commercial production.
The liability for meeting the mine closure hasbeen estimated based on the mine closure planin the proportion of total area exploited to thetotal area of the mine as a whole. These costsare updated annually during the life of the mineto reflect the developments in mining activities.The mine closure obligations are included inMining Rights under Intangible assets andamortised based on unit of production method.
The accounting policies adopted in thepreparation of the financial statementsare consistent with those followed in thepreparation of the Company's annual financialstatements for the year ended March 31, 2024,except for amendments to the existing IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS). The Companyhas not early adopted any other standard,
interpretation or amendment that has beenissued but is not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notifiednew standards or amendment to existingstandards under Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules as issued from time to time.
The Company applied following amendmentsfor the first-time during the current year whichare effective from April 1, 2024:
i) Introduction of Ind AS 117
MCA notified Ind AS 117, a comprehensivestandard that prescribe, recognition,measurement and disclosure requirements,to avoid diversities in practice foraccounting insurance contracts andit applies to all companies i.e., to all"insurance contracts" regardless of theissuer. However, Ind AS 117 is not applicableto the entities which are insurancecompanies registered with IRDAI.
Additionally, amendments have been madeto Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of IndianAccounting Standards, Ind AS 103, BusinessCombinations, Ind AS 105, Non-currentAssets Held for Sale and DiscontinuedOperations, Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments:Disclosures, Ind AS 109, FinancialInstruments and Ind AS 115, Revenue fromContracts with Customers to align them withInd AS 117. The amendments also introduceenhanced disclosure requirements,particularly in Ind AS 107, to provide clarityregarding financial instruments associatedwith insurance contracts.
The amendments require an entity torecognise lease liability including variablelease payments which are not linked toindex or a rate in a way it does not resultinto gain on Right-of-use asset it retains.
The Company has reviewed the newpronouncements and based on its evaluationhas determined that these amendmentsdo not have a significant impact on theCompany's Financial Statements.
The preparation of the Company's financialstatements requires management to makejudgements, estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assetsand liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.The estimates and assumptions are based onhistorical experience and other factors includingexpectations of future events that are consideredto be relevant. The estimates and underlyingassumptions are continually evaluated and anyrevisions thereto are recognised in the period ofrevision and future periods if the revision affectsboth the current and future periods. Uncertaintiesabout these assumptions and estimates could resultin outcomes that require a material adjustment tothe carrying amount of assets or liabilities affectedin future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future andother key sources of estimation uncertainty at thereporting date that have a significant risk of causinga material adjustment to the carrying amountsof assets and liabilities within the next financialyear are described below. Existing circumstancesand assumptions about future developments maychange due to market changes or circumstancesarising that are beyond the control of the Company.Such changes are reflected in the assumptionswhen they occur.
In case of the power plant equipment, wherethe life of the assets has been estimated at 25or 40 years based on technical assessment,taking into account the estimated usage of theasset and the current operating condition ofthe asset, depreciation on the same is providedbased on the useful life of each componentbased on technical assessment, if materiallydifferent from that of the main asset.
In estimating the fair value of financial assetsand financial liabilities, the Company uses
market observable data to the extent available.Where such Level 1 inputs are not available,the Company establishes appropriate valuationtechniques and inputs to the model. The inputsto these models are taken from observablemarkets where possible, but where this is notfeasible, a degree of judgement is required inestablishing fair values. Judgements includeconsiderations of inputs such as liquidityrisk, credit risk and volatility. Changes inassumptions about these factors could affectthe reported fair value of financial instruments.Information about the valuation techniquesand inputs used in determining the fairvalue of various assets and liabilities aredisclosed in note 55.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity planand the present value of the gratuity obligationare determined using actuarial valuations.An actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These includethe determination of the discount rate, futuresalary increases and mortality rates. Due to thecomplexities involved in the valuation and itslong-term nature, a defined benefit obligationis highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions. All assumptions are reviewedat each reporting date. Information aboutthe various estimates and assumptions madein determining the present value of definedbenefit obligations are disclosed in note 59.
For determining whether Property, Plant andEquipment, intangible asset and goodwillare impaired, it requires an estimation of thevalue in use of the relevant cash generatingunits. The value in use calculation is basedon a Discounted Cash Flow model over theestimated useful life of the Power Plants.Further, the cash flow projections are based onestimates and assumptions relating to tariff,change in law claims, operational performanceof the Plants, life extension plans, market pricesof coal and other fuels, exchange variations,inflation, terminal value etc. which are
considered reasonable by the Management.(Refer note 50).
In case of investments made and loansgiven by the Company to its subsidiaries,the Management assesses whether there isany indication of impairment in the value ofinvestments and loans. The carrying amountis compared with the present value of futurenet cash flow of the subsidiaries based on itsbusiness model or estimates is made of thefair value of the identified assets held by thesubsidiaries, as applicable.
Significant management judgement is requiredto determine the amount of deferred tax assetsthat can be recognised, based upon the likelytiming and the level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies,including estimates of temporary differencesreversing on account of available benefits underthe Income Tax Act, 1961. (Also refer note 26).
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unusedtax losses to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profit will be available against which thelosses can be utilised. Significant managementjudgement is required to determine the amountof deferred tax assets that can be recognised,based upon the likely timing and the level offuture taxable profits together with future taxplanning strategies.
Revenue from Operations on account of ForceMajeure / Change in Law events or InterestIncome on account of carrying cost in terms ofPower Purchase Agreements / SupplementalPower Purchase Agreements with variousState Power Distribution Utilities is accountedfor / recognised by the Company based on bestmanagement estimates following principlesof prudence, as per the orders / reports ofRegulatory Authorities, the Hon'ble SupremeCourt of India ("Hon'ble Supreme Court”) and theoutstanding receivables thereof in the books ofaccount have been adjusted / may be subject

In certain cases, the Company has claimedcompensation from the Discoms based onmanagement's interpretation of the regulatoryorders and various technical parametersincluding provisional methodology for coal costrecovery, which are subject to final verificationand confirmation by the respective Discoms,and hence, in these cases, the revenues havebeen recognised during various financialyears / periods, on a prudent basis withconservative attributable parameters in thebooks. The necessary true-up adjustmentsfor revenue claims (including carrying cost /delayed payment surcharge) are made in thebooks on final acknowledgement / regulatoryorders / settlement of matters with respectiveDiscoms or eventual recovery of the claims,whichever is earlier.
In case of Udupi TPP, Revenue from sale of powerand other income is recognised upon judgementby the management for recoverability of theclaims based on the relevant contractual terms/ provisional tariff rates as provided by theregulator / governing tariff regulations, to theextent applicable, having regard to mechanismprovided in applicable tariff regulations andthe bilateral arrangement with the customers,which may be subject to adjustments infuture years, on receipt of final orders of therespective Regulatory Authorities or finalclosure of the matter with the customers.(Refer note 34 and 35).

The Company has evaluatedthe fact pattern and circumstances includingongoing discussions with the Discoms foreach such regulatory matter pending to beadjudicated by the relevant authority.
In cases, where rule of law and principlesof economic restitution have already beenestablished by APTEL / Supreme Court insimilar matters, the revenues are recognisedon prudent and conservative technicalparameters, significant amounts have beenrecovered already and the management doesnot perceive any downside risks in futureon final adjudication by Supreme Court andsettlement of matter with Discoms, the relatedreceivables are classified as undisputed.
In cases, where discussions with Discoms havenot made reasonable progress and matters aresub-judice, the related receivables are classifiedas disputed, even though the management isreasonably confident of recovering the dues infull, backed by the regulatory orders in favourof the Company.

x) Applicability of Appendix D - ServiceConcession Arrangements of Ind AS 115Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company has entered into PPAs withvarious state DISCOMs for supplying powerfor a period upto 25 years from its thermalpower plants (TPP). These TPPs have beenset up on Build-Own-Operate basis with notransfer of assets at the end of the term ofPPA. The management is of the view that PPAdoes not cover the entire life of these powerplants. Further, the DISCOMs does not controlany significant residual interest and does notrestrict the Company's practical ability tosell or pledge these assets. Accordingly, themanagement is of the view that Appendix D toInd AS 115 is not applicable to the Company.

On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of the Company hasconcluded that the recoverable value of all the thermal power plants is higher than their carrying amountsincluding goodwill assigned to each CGU.
On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of the Company has concluded that therecoverable 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 correspondingimpact on the recoverable amounts of the Plants.
51 The Company has taken various derivatives to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations onitems including principal loan amount, Trade Credits etc. and interest thereof along with interest rate changes.The outstanding position of derivative instruments is as under :
The Company's risk management activities are subject to the management direction and control under theframework of Risk Management Policy as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Managementensures appropriate risk governance framework for the Company through appropriate policies and proceduresand 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 appropriateskills, experience and supervision. It is the company policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposesmay be undertaken.
The Company's financial liabilities (other than derivatives) comprises mainly of borrowings including interestaccrual, leases, trade, capital and other payables. The Company's financial assets (other than derivatives) comprisemainly 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.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market prices. Market risk comprises four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk,commodity risk and equity price risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in marketinterest 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 rateloans and borrowings. Significant portion of Company's borrowing is in INR (?) and are borrowed atfluctuating interest rate.
The sensitivity analysis have been carried out based on the exposure to interest rates for instrumentsnot hedged against interest rate fluctuation at the end of the reporting period. The said analysis hasbeen 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 theyear. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management's assessment of the reasonablypossible change in interest rates.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuatebecause of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes inforeign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (trade receivables) andborrowings in the form of Trade Credits. The Company manages its foreign currency risk by hedgingtransactions that are expected to realise in future. The Company also enters into various foreignexchange hedging contracts such as forward covers, swaps, options etc. to mitigate the risk arisingout of foreign exchange rate movement on foreign currency borrowings and trade payables (includingcapital creditors).
Every one percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupeeand U.S. dollar on the unhedged exposure of $ 53.50 million as on March 31, 2025 and $ 73.44 millionas on March 31, 2024 would have affected the Company's profit or loss for the year as follows:
The Company's exposure to commodity price is affected by a number of factors including the effectof regulations, the price volatility of coal prices in the market, including imported coal, contract sizeand length, market condition etc. which is moderated by optimising the procurement under fuel supplyagreement and getting compensated under long term power purchase agreements and change in lawregulations. In case, the company anticipates non-availability of coal, the same is mitigated by sourcingimported coal in advance to meet the demand. Its operating / trading activities require the on-goingpurchase for continuous supply of coal and other commodities. Therefore the Company monitors itspurchases closely to optimise the procurement cost.
The Company does not have equity price risk except to the extent impairment of investment.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customercontract, leading to a financial loss.
a) Trade Receivables
The Company is having majority of receivables from State Electricity Boards which are Governmentundertakings and have interest clause on delayed payments and hence, they are secured from creditlosses in the future. Receivables are secured by letter of credit amounting to ' 3,777.84 crore (Previousyear ' 3,732.24 crore). Further, the Company holds sovereign guarantee from BPDB for the entirereceivables under Power purchase agreement.
b) Financial Guarantee
The Company has issued financial guarantees to banks on behalf of and in respect of loan facilitiesavailed by its subsidiaries. In accordance with the policy of the Company, the Company has recognisedthese financial guarantees as liability at fair value (Refer note 24 and 31). Outstanding loans in thesubsidiary 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 otherreceivables. The company limits its exposure to credit risks arising from these financial assets and thereis no collateral held against these because counter parties are group companies, banks and recognisedfinancial institutions. Banks and recognised financial institutions have high credit ratings assigned bycredit rating agencies.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associatedwith its financial liabilities.
The Company monitors its liquidity requirement using cash flow forecasting models. These models considerthe maturity of its financial investments, committed funding and projected cash flows from operations. TheCompany's objective is to provide financial resources to meet its business objectives in a timely, cost effectiveand reliable manner and to manage its capital structure. A balance between continuity of funding andflexibility is maintained through internal accruals as well as adequately adjusting the working capital cycle.Having regard to the nature of the business wherein the Company is able to generate regular cash flowsover a period of time, any surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capitalmanagement and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extentrequired) and any excess is invested in highly liquid mutual funds with appropriate maturities to optimisethe cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities; or lent to groupentities (within Adani Power Limited) at market determined interest rate.
Read with note 54, the Company expects to generate positive cash flows from operations in order to meetits external financial liabilities as they fall due and also consistently monitors funding options available inthe debt and capital market with a view to maintain financial flexibility.

The funding requirements are met through a mixture of equity, unsecured perpetual securities, internal fundgeneration and other long term borrowings (including consolidation of borrowings). The Company monitorscapital and long term debt on the basis of debt to equity ratio.
The debt equity ratio is as follows :
(i) Debt is defined as Non-current borrowings (including current maturities) and lease liabilities.
(ii) Capital is defined as Equity share capital, Instruments entirely equity in nature and other equity includingreserves and surplus.
The Company believes that it will able to meet all its current liabilities and interest obligations in timely manner.The Company's capital management ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interestbearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financialcovenants would permit the bank to levy penal interest and immediately call all borrowings as per termsof sanction.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managingcapital by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
