INDUSTRY OUTLOOK The Indian power sector is witnessing signicant changes that is redening the industry outlook. The demand for power in India is driven by sustained economic growth and investment. The Government of India’s (GOI) focus to attain ‘Power For All’ has accelerated capacity addition in the country. As per the Ministry of Power (MoP), the total annual power generation in the country crossed one trillion units for the rst time at 1,048.40 billion units, 8.4% more than the previous year. MoP has set the target of adding 1,18,537 MW capacity for the 12th Plan period ending 2016-17. The Government also plans to construct 1,07,440 circuit kilometres (ckm) of transmission lines and set up 2,82,740 MVA transformation capacity during the 12th Plan period. While long-term demand outlook of electricity in India looks positive, the country continues to witness subdued growth in demand due to load shedding and inability of the state owned distribution companies to buy power due to poor nancial health. 4. STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS • Financial During the year, your Company’s net sales and operating prot were ` 2,317.70 crore and ` 839.58 crore as against ` 2,338.20 crore and ` 714.36 crore, respectively for the previous year. The Company has achieved prot after tax (PAT) of ` 210.51 crore as against prot of ` 102.97 crore in the previous year. The growth in prot is mainly due to favourable e ect of arrears revenue, re-computed pursuant to the nal tari order received from the CERC for tari control period 2009-14 and improvement in capitalisation. No material changes and commitments have occurred after the close of the year till the date of this Report, which a ect the nancial position of the Company. 10 | Board's Report 15th Annual Report 2014-2015

• Business Environment i) Fuel Your Company has stabilized operations of both the 525 MW units (1,050 MW total installed capacity). Your Company has executed Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) totaling 4.63 MTPA with Limited (1.659 MTPA), Central Coalelds Limited (1.975 MTPA) and Tata Steel Limited (1 MTPA). With the above arrangements, it has secured the entire requirement of fuel for the station. In FY14, the Company had to maximize its coal procurement from Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) pending execution of revised FSA with CCL. In December 2013, your Company executed revised FSA with CCL to include wide range of coal grades through road transportation mode. This has helped the Company in FY15 in improving overall coal procurement and reduced

sole dependency of coal procurement from BCCL, resulting in not only improved the quality of coal but also reduced input NOTICE energy cost. ii) Operations During the year, your Company has been able to achieve improvement in generation despite two unforeseen outages of Unit 1 on account of its Generator Transformer (GT) failure and continuous load forego by long term (LT) beneciaries. It has taken all measures to run the plant at maximum possible load by way of reducing outage hours and maximising sale of untied capacity of 150 MW on short-term / IEX basis throughout the year. The generation details of both the Units for FY15 are given as under:

Particulars FY15 FY14 Generation (MUs) ...... 6,684 6,328 PLF (%) ...... 72.7 68.8 Plant availability (%) ...... 86.0 87.4 Aux Power (%) ...... 5.6 5.7 During the year, total power generation was 6,684 MUs as against 6,328 MUs in the previous year, registering an increase of 5.63%. The plant load factor (PLF) was 72.7% during the year as compared to 68.8% in the previous year. PLF could have been substantially better during the year, but for power o take which continued to be lower from the LT beneciaries (inspite of higher availability). The total load forego during FY15 by LT beneciaries stands at 1,020 MUs. During the year, your Company also had two break downs due to GT failure, which resulted in signicant generation loss of 436.58 MUs. REPORT BOARD'S During the year, your Company has supplied 5,410 MUs to the LT beneciaries and 872 MUs on merchant basis as against 5,007 MUs and 959 MUs, respectively in the previous year. iii) Commercial Power sale for 900 MW had been tied up with Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) shared equally on long-term (LT) basis. The balance 150 MW has been tied up with KSEB Limited (KSEB) under LT Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). On 4th September 2014, the Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) issued its Multi Year Distribution Tari (MYT) Order for DVC command area in the State of Jharkhand. In the said Order, JSERC has disallowed DVC about 50% of the projected power purchase cost from the Company during the period FY 2014-15 and 2015-16 and also part of the power purchase cost for the period 2013-14 procured by DVC from the Company. DVC has led an appeal in Hon'ble Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) challenging the disallowances in quantum and cost of power purchase. Your Company has led objections to the Appeal led in APTEL against the erroneous application of the Merit Order Dispatch principle as applied by JSERC in the impugned order. The matter is sub-judice. • Tari order FINANCIALS In November 2014, your Company received nal tari order from CERC for tari control period 2009-14. In the said order, CERC has allowed project cost, while disallowing interest during construction (IDC) for ` 99 crores for delay in commissioning of Unit 1 and 2 by 2.3 months and 3.3 months, respectively and working capital margin money of ` 78 crores. CERC also allowed recovery of ash disposal cost incurred by the Company from the commercial operation date (CoD) till 31st March 2014. The Company has also been allowed to raise energy bill at actual station heat rate within the range of 2,360 kcal/kWhr to 2,425 kcal/kWhr since CoD. Board's Report | 11 Maithon Power Limited

The Company has led an appeal before Hon’ble APTEL challenging the decision of CERC for disallowance of IDC and partial disallowance of secondary fuel used in post COD of Unit 2. The matter is sub-judice. • Projects i) Land for Main Plant The Project land of around 1,116 acres comprising of Private or Raiyati land (565 acres), Government land (GM land) (115 acres) and Forest land (436 acres) have been acquired by DVC. DVC has agreed to transfer the title in these lands in favour of your Company after obtaining necessary approval from the Government of Jharkhand (GoJ). Private land has been leased to your Company by DVC for 35 years which can be renewed thereafter. DVC has acquired the GM and Forest land from the GoJ along with the right to use for the project. Pending transfer of title to these lands (GM and Forest land) in favour of the Company, DVC has entered into license agreement with your Company on 18th January 2008, for use of these lands initially for a period of 5 years with the provisions of automatic renewal thereafter. The management of your Company has been following up with the GoJ and DVC for transfer of the GM land through a sub-lease agreement facilitating the creation of security in favour of its lenders. It will enter into sub-lease agreement with DVC subject to conditions as may be prescribed by the GoJ. ii) Land for Railway Infrastructure To ensure regular coal availability for sustainable operation of the Plant, your Company had started construction of Railway Infrastructure for over 17 km in stage I and 3 km in stage II. It planned to acquire total 130 acres of land comprising of Railway land (35 acres), Private or Raiyati land (64 acres) and GM land (28 acres). Your Company had received approval of 19.86 acres of Railway land from the Eastern Railway (ER) as required for the construction of Railway infrastructure in stage I. The same land had been licensed for ve years by the ER in favour of your Company with a provision of successive renewal. Your Company has made necessary application for the balance railway land to ER and the same is under process. In August 2012, your Company entered into Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) agreement with the land losers for settlement of R&R package in respect of private land. However, due to disputes relating to e.g. payments made by the GoJ to the wrong claimants, multiple ownership issues of the same land, di erences in owner's name in land records, missing land documents and original land acquisition notices, etc., your Company is yet to complete physical possession of the private land in some villages. In case of GM land and Railway land, your Company has found a number of unauthorized encroachments and received compensation demand from them. Negotiation for settlement of disputes and demand of the above land losers and unauthorised encroachments with the help of R & R Committee constituted by the District Commissioner (DC) is in progress. In view of the above, construction of railway infrastructure work for stage I and stage II is delayed and estimated to be completed by FY18. iii) Reverse Osmosis plant and Underpass • The design, engineering, erection and commissioning of Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant is under advanced stage of completion and is expected to be commissioned in FY16. • Your Company has constructed an underpass across its main access road to provide transit corridor for the villagers thereby ensuring protection of its asset and smooth plant operations. iv) Mega Power Project Status Mega Power status to 1,050 MW Maithon Right Bank Thermal Power Project had not been granted by the MoP to your Company on the ground that the PPAs did not conform to the National Electricity Policy 2005 and Tari Policy 2006 of the Government of India (GoI). Pending receipt of the Mega Power status, your Company remains liable to pay excise and customs duty on the receipts of goods and materials, wherever applicable. It had claimed 'drawback' of the duty so paid under deemed export benet chapter of Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) of the GoI. Initially, your Company received the benet of excise duty drawback for ` 36 crore with respect to various project packages under non-mega power status as per the FTP. Further excise duty drawback claims to the tune of ` 19 crore were approved by DGFT, however no refund were received by the Company. Subsequently, DGFT issued a demand notice claiming back the said duty drawback with retrospective e ect pursuant to its decision taken at Policy Interpretation Committee (PIC) meeting held in March 2011.

Subsequently, the Company had led transfer applications before the Hon’ble Supreme Court for transfer of writ petitions led by it in the Hon’ble Delhi High Court to the Hon’ble Supreme Court as the appeal led by GoI, in a similar matter, is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The matter is sub-judice. Phase-II expansion of 2X660MW Supercritical Capacity As per the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) entered into between DVC and Tata Power, it is envisaged that expansion plans of your Company for setting up of new projects between these companies could be explored. As a step in this direction, based on the in-principle approval of DVC, it decided for expansion of its Maithon Project by establishing another 1,320 MW capacity (2 X 660 MW) supercritical units (Phase-II).

As per MoEF notications dated 14th September 1999 and 3rd November 2009, your Company is required to achieve the target of fly ash utilization as per the below Table:

Sl. No. Percentage of Utilisation of Fly Ash Target Date 1. At least 50% of fly ash generation One year from the date of commissioning 2. At least 70% of fly ash generation Two years from the date of commissioning 3. At least 90% of fly ash generation Three years from the date of commissioning 4. At least 100% of fly ash generation Four years from the date of commissioning The status of ash generated and utilised during last three nancial years of the station is tabled below:

Financial year Ash utilization (%) FY13 29.24 FY14 110.98 FY15 161.69* * In FY13, the ash generated used to be deposited by the Company in the ash pond. Based on the notication issued by the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board, from FY14 onwards, the Company has been stowing ash into the abandoned mines allotted by Eastern Coalelds Limited (ECL).

Your Company in FY14 and FY15 has achieved 110.98% and 161.69% of ash utilization, respectively. This has been made possible because your Company is exploring scientic basis to develop safe technique of back lling of abandoned mines with ash. The initial results indicate that there is a good potential in this area. This transportation of ash involves huge cost and currently is being borne by the Company. However, this cost has been allowed by CERC to be recovered from long term beneciaries for contracted capacity. For its long-term ash evacuation and management plan, your Company has approved ` 112 crore towards setting up of High Concentrated Ash Conveying Pipeline in order to dispose-o ash directly to the ECL void mines nearby.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements Note 1: Background Maithon Power Limited (‘the Company’), has been set up pusuant to an agreement entered into between The Tata Power Company Limited (TPCL) and Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) with 74% and 26% shareholding respectively, to operate and maintain Electric power generating stations based on conventional / non-conventional resources, tie-lines, sub-stations and transmission lines connected therewith (referred to as ‘the Project’). The Company has set up a thermal power generation plant (comprising of two units of 525 MW each namely ‘Unit I and Unit II’) at Maithon, Jharkhand with a total capacity of 1050 MW. Unit I and Unit II of the project were commissioned on 1 September, 2011 and 24 July, 2012 respectively. Note 2: Signi cant accounting policies a. Basis of accounting NOTICE The nancial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards Speci ed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the 2013 Act”)/Companies Act, 1956 (“the 1956 Act”), as applicable. The nancial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the nancial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year. b. Use of estimates The preparation of the nancial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the nancial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could dier due to these estimates and the dierences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialise. c. Inventories Inventories comprises fuel, stores and spares parts, consumable supplies and loose tools and are valued at cost, net of provision for diminution in their value, if any. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis. d. Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement) Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of REPORT BOARD'S cash and which are subject to insigni cant risk of changes in value. e. Cash ow statement Cash ows are reported using the indirect method, whereby pro t/(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the eects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash ows from operating, investing and nancing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information. f. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value. Depreciation on tangible xed assets in respect of Buildings and Plant and Machinery - others is provided at the rate as well as methodology noti ed by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tari) Regulations, 2014 in accordance with the provision of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on other tangible xed assets has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the Vehicles whose estimated useful life is assessed as 5 years based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, etc.

Assets costing upto ` 5,000 individually have been fully depreciated in the year of purchase. FINANCIALS Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line method or 5 years, whichever is lower. The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each nancial year and the amortisation period is revised to reect the changed pattern, if any.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements g. Revenue Recognition Revenue from power supply is accounted for on the basis of billing to customers and includes unbilled revenues accrued upto the end of the year which is accounted on the basis of terms stated in the Power Purchase Agreements entered with the customers. The Company determines surplus/de cit (i.e. excess/shortfall of/in tari) for the year in respect of its long term power purchase agreements based on the principles laid down under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tari) Regulation, 2014 noti ed by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and on the basis of the Tari Order issued by it. In respect of such surplus/de cit, appropriate adjustments as stipulated under the regulations are made during the year. Further, any adjustments that may arise on nal tari approval by CERC under the aforesaid Tari regulations are made after the completion of such tari approval. Revenue from sale of cenosphere is accounted on transfer of signi cant risks and reward of ownership to the customers. h. Other income Interest income is accounted on accrual basis. i. Tangible assets Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of xed assets includes interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying xed assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Exchange dierences arising on restatement/settlement of long-term foreign currency borrowings relating to acquisition of depreciable xed assets are adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets. Subsequent expenditure relating to xed assets is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future bene ts from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Fixed assets retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately in the Balance Sheet. Capital work-in-progress: Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable borrowing cost. j. Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic bene ts in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset. k. Foreign exchange transactions Initial recognition: Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. Measurement of foreign currency monetary items at the Balance Sheet date: Foreign currency monetary items of the Company outstanding at the Balance Sheet date are restated at the year-end rates. Treatment of exchange dierences: Exchange dierences arising on settlement/restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of pro t and loss. Accounting of forward contracts: Premium/discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes, are amortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the Balance Sheet date. Any pro t or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expenses in the period in which such cancellation or renewal is made. 46 | Financials 15th Annual Report 2014-2015

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements l. Investments Long-term investments are stated at cost, less provision for other than temporary diminution in the carrying value of each investment. Current investments comprising investments in mutual funds are stated at the lower of cost and fair value, determined on a portfolio basis. Cost of investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and fair value. m. Employee bene ts Employee bene ts include provident fund, superannuation fund, gratuity fund and compensated absences. De ned contribution plans The Company’s contribution to provident fund and superannuation fund are considered as de ned contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made. NOTICE De ned bene t plan: The Company’s gratuity plan is de ned bene t plan. The cost of providing bene ts is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Pro t and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the bene ts are already vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the bene ts become vested. The retirement bene t obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the de ned bene t obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes. Short-term employee bene ts: The undiscounted amount of short-term employee bene ts expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These bene ts include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service. The cost of such compensated absences is accounted as under: i. in case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render the services that increase their entitlement of future compensated absences; and

ii. in case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur. REPORT BOARD'S Long-term employee bene ts: Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of the de ned bene t obligation as at the Balance Sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets, if any out of which the obligations are expected to be settled. n. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred and exchange dierences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Pro t and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Pro t and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted. o. Leases Assets leased by the Company in its capacity as lessee where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership vest in the Company FINANCIALS are classi ed as nance leases. Such leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each year. Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Pro t and Loss on a straight-line basis.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements p. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the pro t/(loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the pro t/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net pro t per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate. q. Taxes on income Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic bene ts in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that future economic bene t associated with it will ow to the Company. Deferred tax is recognised on timing dierences, being the dierences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing dierences. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses and items relating to capital losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there will be sucient future taxable income available to realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing dierences of other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sucient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are oset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set o. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their realisability. r. Impairment of assets The carrying values of assets/cash generating units at each Balance Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash ows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Pro t and Loss, except in case of revalued assets. s. Provisions and contingencies A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement bene ts) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. t. Operating Cycle Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classi cation of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
