Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
1. General information
Reliance Power Limited (“the Company”) together with its subsidiaries (“the Reliance Power Group”) is primarily engaged in
the business of generation of power. The projects under development include coal, gas, hydro, wind and solar based energy
projects. The portfolio of the Reliance Power Group also includes Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs).
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 and its equity shares are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India. The registered
office of the Company is located at Reliance Centre, Ground Floor, 19, Walchand Hirachand Marg, Ballard Estate,
Mumbai - 400 001.
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on, May 08, 2020
2. Significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and judgments
2.1 Basis of preparation, measurement and significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
Compliance with Ind AS
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards
(“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the following:
• Certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value;
• Assets held for sale – measured at fair value less cost to sell;
• Defined benefit plans – plan assets that are measured at fair value;
• Equity instruments in subsidiaries at fair value.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses valuation techniques
that are appropriate in the circumstances for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising
the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
Current vis-à-vis non-current classification
The assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet are classified on a “current/non-current basis”, with
separate reporting of assets held for sale and liabilities. Current assets, which include cash and cash equivalents,
are assets that are intended to be realised, sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle of the Company
or in the 12 months following the balance sheet date; current liabilities are liabilities that are expected to be
settled during the normal operating cycle of the Company or within the 12 months following the close of the
financial year. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a
legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on
future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from
such investments are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income when the Company’s right to
receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not
reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at
amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109- ‘Financial
Instruments’, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when:
• the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
• retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual
obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where
the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial
asset is not derecognised. Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not
retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is
continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
(v) Income recognition
Interest income
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the
Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument
(for example prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividend
Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable
that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the
dividend can be measured reliably.
(h) Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds.
(i) Financial liabilities
(i) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definition of a financial liability and an
equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting
all of its liabilities.
(ii) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank
overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company. A present obligation that arises from past events but it is not recognised because it is
not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or
the amount of obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability is termed as contingent liability.
Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(l) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Company operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are
presented in ‘Indian Rupees’ (`), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
(b) All exchange differences arising on reporting on foreign currency monetary items at rates different from
those at which they were initially recorded are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(c) In respect of foreign exchange differences arising on restatement or settlement of long term foreign
currency monetary items, the Company has availed the option available in Ind AS 101 to continue the
policy adopted for accounting for exchange differences arising from translation of long-term foreign
currency monetary items outstanding as on March 31, 2016, wherein:
• oreign exchange differences on account of depreciable asset, are adjusted in the cost of
F
depreciable asset and would be depreciated over the balance life of asset.
• In other cases, foreign exchange difference is accumulated in “foreign currency monetary item
translation difference account” and amortised over the balance period of such long term asset /
liabilities.
(d) Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are stated at the rates prevailing on the date of
the transactions / exchange rate at which transaction is actually effected.
(m) Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amount receivable
for goods supplied, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes.
(i) Sale of energy
The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 using cumulative effect method of initially applying this standard
recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. April 01, 2018).
Revenue from operations comprises of sale of power. Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflect the
consideration for which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transfer of power (goods / service)
to the customer.
Revenue from sale of power is accounted for in accordance with tariff provided in Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) read with the regulations of Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) and no significant
uncertainty as to the measurability or collectability exist.
There is no impact on the adoption of the standard in the financial statement as the Company’s revenue
primarily comprised of revenue from sale of power and the recognition criteria of this revenue stream is largely
unchanged by adoption of Ind AS 115.
(ii) Service income
Service income represents income from support services recognised as per the terms of the service agreements
entered into with the respective parties.

(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
their short 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 be evaluated for their carrying amounts based on any change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company
borrowing (since the date of inception of the loans).
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount is equal to the fair values.
103
Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
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) is determined 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.
This is 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.
16. Financial risk management
The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risks and credit risk.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on
the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at the operating subsidiaries level of the Company
in accordance with practice and limits set 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 the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these
monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintained debt
financing plans.
Periodic budgets and rolling forecasts are prepared at the level of operating subsidiaries as regular practice and in
accordance with limits specified by the Company. There is delay/ default in repayment of loans for ` 71,269 lakhs
as at the end of the financial year. The Company has been pursuing proposed strategic transactions/ sale of assets
and overall financial restructuring, when executed, would make available the required liquidity for the continuing
business and would also provide an extended maturity period for repayment of restructured balance debt.

(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 prices in the financial markets. Market risk can be further segregated as: a) Foreign currency risk and
b) Interest rate risk.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds monetary assets in the form
of investments in US Dollar. Further it has long term monetary liabilities which are in US dollar other than
its functional currency.
While the Company has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian
Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings, it may also be indirectly affected by the impact of foreign
exchange rate changes on the earnings of companies in which the Company invests. For that reason,
the below sensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Company’s net assets
attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements in foreign exchange rates.

The above amounts have been disclosed based on the accounting policy for exchange differences
(Refer note 2.1(l).
(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 changes in market interest rates. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term
borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s
borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in Rupees.
The Company’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest
rate risk as defined in Ind AS-107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate
because of a change in market interest rates.
• Interest rate risk exposure
The exposure of the Company’s borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are
as follows:

22. (aa) During the year, pursuant to the assignment agreement between the Company, Vidarbha Industries Power
Limited (a subsidiary) and Reliance Infrastructure Limited (R Infra), the subsidiary has assigned R Infra advance of
` 41,222 lakhs to the Company, subsequent to which the Company adjusted its payable to R Infra.
(ab) During the year, pursuant to the agreement, Sasan Power Limited (a subsidiary) has assigned a payable of
` 107,306 lakhs to the Company.
(b) Exceptional items:
During the year, the Company has created provision against advances aggregating to ` 19,456 lakhs and has
considered the same as an exceptional item for the year ended March 31, 2020.
During previous year, the Company had carried out impairment testing of its assets and provided for impairment
of receivables aggregating to ` 143,037 lakhs and considered the same as an exceptional item and adjusted
by withdrawing ` 101,702 lakhs from General Reserve pursuant to the composite scheme of arrangement
between the Company, Reliance Natural Resources Limited, erstwhile Reliance Futura Limited and four wholly
owned subsidiaries viz. Atos Trading Private Limited, Atos Mercantile Private Limited, Reliance Prima Limited and
Coastal Andhra Power Infrastructure Limited approved by the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Mumbai vide
order dated October 15, 2010 wherein the Company is permitted to offset any expenses or losses, which in the
opinion of the Board of Directors are beyond the control of the Company. Had such provision of expenses not
been met from General Reserve, the exceptional item for the year ended March 31, 2019 would have increased
by ` 101,702 lakhs and as a consequential effect of this, loss after tax for the year would have been higher
by ` 101,702 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2019 and General Reserve would have been higher by an
equivalent amount. This accounting treatment as per Scheme is considered to override the provisions of Ind AS 1
“Presentation of Financial Statements”.
23. The Company has incurred significant net losses (after impairment of assets) of ` 38,884 lakhs during the year (March
31, 2019 ` 60,166 lakhs) and its current liabilities exceed the current assets by ` 614,947 lakhs as at March 31, 2020
(March 31, 2019 ` 567,427 lakhs). The Company is confident of meeting its obligations by generating sufficient and
timely cash flows through time bound monetisation of its assets, as also realize amount from regulatory / aribitration
claims. Nothwithstanding the dependence on these material uncertain events, the Company is confident that such cash
flows would enable it to service its debt, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of its business.
The Company has been in discussion with all its lenders. It has been agreed by the lenders for a resolution outside the
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC). Accordingly, the standalone financial statements of the Company have
been prepared on a going concern basis.

26. COVID-19 Pandemic has caused unprecedented economic disruption globally and in India. The Company is sensitive about the
impact of the Pandemic, not only on the human life but on businesses and industrial activity across the globe, which will be
realised only over next few months. The Company has been monitoring the situation closely and has taken proactive measures
to comply with various directions / regulations / guidelines issued by the Government and local bodies to ensure safety of
workforce across all its plants and offices. The Company has made initial assessment of the likely adverse impact on economic
environment in general and operational and financial risks on account of COVID-19. Vide notification dated March 24 2020
issued by Ministry of Home Affairs a nation-wide lockdown was announced to contain COVID-19 outbreak and the same
has been progressively extended later. However, Power generation, transmission & distribution units, being essential services,
are allowed to continue operation during the period of lockdown. So far, the Company has been able to sustain its power
plant operations and honour commitments under the various Power Purchase Agreements. There has been a sharp decline in
the electricity demand, by 20 to 25%, primarily from industrial and commercial consumer segments, arising from lockdown
measures announced by the Government. The Power Ministry has clarified on April 6, 2020 that despite lower power offtake
due to sharp reduction in demand, Discoms will have to comply with the obligation to pay fixed capacity charges as per PPA.
Further, the Reserve Bank of India has granted relief to borrowers by way of moratorium of interest and principal installments
falling due to Indian banks and financial institutions till May 31, 2020. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will
impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including, among other things,
evolving impact on Discoms in terms of demand for electricity; consumption mix; resultant average tariff realisation; bill
collections from consumers; and support from respective State Governments and banks & financial institutions, including those
focused on power sector financing.
27. The Company lease assets primarily consists of office premises which are of short term lease with the term of twelve months
or less and low value leases. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an
expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the term of lease.
During the year, the Company has recognised ` 47 lakhs as rent expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss (March 31,
2019 ` 98 lakhs).
28. The figures for the previous year are re-casted / re-grouped, wherever necessary.

Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
1) General Information
Reliance Power Limited (“the Parent Company” or “the Company”) together with all of its subsidiaries (“the Group”) and
associates is primarily engaged in the business of generation of power. The projects under development include coal, gas,
hydro, wind and solar based energy projects. The portfolio of the Group also includes Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs).
The Parent Company is a Public Limited Company and its equity shares are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India
and is incorporated and domiciled in India under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The registered office of the Parent
Company is located at Reliance Centre, Ground Floor, 19, Walchand Hirachand Marg, Ballard Estate, Mumbai - 400001.
These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on May
08, 2020.
2) Significant accounting policies, critical accounting estimates and judgements
2.1 Basis of preparation, measurement and significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the
Group and associates.
(a) Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements
Compliance with Ind AS
The consolidated financial statements of the Group and its associates have been prepared in accordance with the Indian
Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) to the extent applicable.
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in ‘Indian Rupees’, which is also the Parent Company’s functional
currency. All amounts are rounded off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise stated.
Historical cost convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
following:
• Certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value;
• Assets held for sale – measured at fair value less cost to sell; and
• Defined benefit plans – plan assets that are measured at fair value
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the
circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable
Current vis-à-vis non-current classification
The assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet are classified on a “current/non-current basis”, with separate
reporting of assets held for sale and liabilities. Current assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are the assets
that are intended to be realised, sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle of the Group or in the 12 months
following the balance sheet date; current liabilities are liabilities that are expected to be settled during the normal
operating cycle of the Group or within the 12 months following the close of the financial year. The deferred tax assets
and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

regulatory authority, for the life of the mine is obtained by dividing the estimated quantity of overburden
by the estimated quantity of mineable coal reserve to be extracted over the life of the mine. This ratio is
periodically reviewed and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively.
The overburden removal costs are included in mining properties under the PPE and amortised based on
stripping ratio on the quantity of coal excavated. Overburden removal cost includes cost of fuel, power
related to the equipments, direct labour, other direct expenditure and appropriate portion of variable and
fixed overhead expenditure.
(ii) Mine closure obligation
The liability to meet the obligation of mine closure has been measured at the present value of the
management’s best estimate 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 discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in provision due
to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
The mine closure obligation cost has been included in mining properties under Property, plant and equipment
and amortised over the life of the mine on a unit of production basis.
(iii) Mine development expenditure
Expenditure incurred on development of coal mine is grouped under capital work-in-progress till the coal
mine is ready for its intended use. Once the mine is ready for its intended use, such mine development
expenditure is capitalised and included in mining properties under the PPE.
Mine development expenditure is amortised over the life of the mine on a unit of production basis.
(e) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill on acquisition of the subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it
is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it
might be impaired and is carried at cost. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying
amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
(ii) Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes less accumulated amortisation/
depletion and impairment loss, if any. The cost comprises of purchase price, borrowing costs and any cost
directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
(iii) Expenditure incurred on acquisition of intangible assets, which are not ready to use at the reporting date is
disclosed under “Intangible assets under development”.
(iv) Mining right represents directly attributable cost (other than the land cost) incurred for obtaining the mining
rights for a period of 30 years.
(v) Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of intangible asset is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortisation method and period
Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful life, residual
value and amortisation methods are reviewed periodically at each annual reporting date, with the effect of any
changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Computer software is amortised over an estimated useful life of 3 years. Intangible assets include expenditure
incurred for laying pipeline towards additional water supply. As the pipeline is estimated to be used over the life
of the project, the cost incurred towards right is amortised over the term of the power purchase agreement.
In SPL, mining rights are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of 30 years i.e., the period over which
SPL has the right to carry out mining activities.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment or more
frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. Other assets which are
subject to depreciation or amortisation are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverable value is higher of net selling price and
value in use. An impairment loss is recognised when carrying cost of the asset exceeds its recoverable value.
An impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as
impaired. Impairment loss recognised in prior accounting period is increased / reversed (for the assets other than
Goodwill) where there is change in the estimate of recoverable value. Such a reversal is made only to the extent
126
Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised.
(g) Inventories
Inventories of tools, stores, spare parts, consumable supplies and fuel are valued at lower of weighted average
cost, which includes all non-refundable duties and charges incurred in bringing the goods to their present location
and condition or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
In case of coal stock, the measured stock is based on a verification process adopted and the variation between
measured stock and book stock is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
(h) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.
(i) Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instruments of another entity. Financial instrument also includes derivative contracts such as foreign
currency foreign exchange forward contracts.
Investment and Other Financial Assets
(i) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or
through profit or loss) and
• those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the business model of the Group for managing the financial assets and the
contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in statement of profit and loss or
OCI.
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets
changes.
(ii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset
not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the
asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the
Group classifies its debt instruments:
Amortised cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that
is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and Loss when the asset
is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the
effective interest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the
assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in
the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest
revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. When
the financial asset is derecognised, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from
other equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains / (losses). Interest income from these financial
assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value
is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent Liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from the past events, the existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Group. A present obligation that arises from past events but it is not recognised
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates are presented in Indian Rupees which is also the
Parent Company’s functional currency. The functional currency for all the entities in the Group is Indian
Rupees except the following subsidiaries:-
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured at fair value of consideration
received or receivable, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have
been met for each of the Group’s activities, as described below. The Group bases its estimate on historical results,
taking into consideration the type of transactions and specifics of each arrangement.
(i) In RPSCL, revenue from sale of energy is recognised on an accrual basis as per the tariff rates approved
by Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) in accordance with the provisions of Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL). In case where final
tariff rates are yet to be approved / agreed, provisional tariff is adopted based on provisional tariff order
issued by UPERC. Further, the revenue is also recognised towards truing up of fixed charges as per the
petitions filed based on the principles enunciated in the PPA and UPERC (Terms & Condition of Generation
Tariff) Regulations, 2014.
Revenue from sale of energy referred to above includes fixed charges considered as minimum lease payments
in accordance with Ind AS 116 “Leases”which is apportioned between finance income and reduction of
finance lease receivables and finance Income is disclosed as ‘Income on assets given on finance lease” under
“Other Operating Income” (Refer Note 3.21). Revenue towards truing up of fixed charges is recognised as
operating income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of truing up. In case of difference between
the revenue recognised based on provisional tariff order/ petitions filed and final tariff order, minimum
lease payments is adjusted to the extent of difference for balance period of the lease to arrive at revised
internal rate of return based on which minimum lease payments is apportioned between finance income and
reduction of finance lease receivables.
(ii) In VIPL, revenue from sale of energy is recognised on an accrual basis as per the tariff rates approved by
MERC in accordance with the provisions of PPA with Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited with effect from
August 29, 2018, which was earlier with Reliance Infrastructure Limited (Rinfra). Further, revenue is also
recognised towards truing up of fixed charges and fuel adjustment charges as per the terms of PPA read
with Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) (Multi Year Tariff) Regulations.
(iii) In DSPPL, revenue from sale of energy is recognised on an accrual basis as per the tariff rates notified
by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) in accordance with the provisions of PPA with Adani
Electricity Mumbai Limited with effect from August 29, 2018, which was earlier with Reliance Infrastructure
Limited (Rinfra).
(iv) In RSTEPL, revenue from sale of energy is recognised on an accrual basis and in accordance with the
provisions of PPA with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited (NVVN) read with CERC regulations.
(v) In Parent Company, revenue from sale of energy of wind power project at Vashpet is recognised on an
accrual basis in accordance with the provisions of PPA/ sale arrangements with Adani Electricity Mumbai
Limited with effect from August 29, 2018, which was earlier with Reliance Infrastructure Limited (Rinfra)
read with the regulation of MERC. Income on Generation based incentive of wind power project at Vashpet
is accounted on an accrual basis considering eligibility of the project for availing the incentive.
(vi) In SPL, revenue from sale of energy is recognised when it is measurable and there is reasonable certainty
for collection, in accordance with the tariff provided in the PPA and considering the petitions filed with
regulatory authorities for tariff as per the terms of PPA.
(vii) The surcharge on late payment/ overdue trade receivables for sale of energy is recognised when no
significant uncertainty as to measurement and collectability exists.
(viii) Revenue from certified reduction units is recognised as per the terms and conditions agreed with the trustee
on future sale of certified emission reduction units.
(ix) For income recognition refer note 2.1(i)(v)
(p) Employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within
12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect
of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be
paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the
balance sheet.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end
of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting
period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the
131
Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result
of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement profit and loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual
settlement is expected to occur.
Post employee obligations
The Group operates the following post-employment schemes:
- defined benefit plans such as gratuity
- defined contribution plans such as provident fund and superannuation fund
Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of
the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit
obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in Rupees is determined by discounting the estimated
future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have
terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation
and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included as employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained
earnings in the consolidated statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are
recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined contribution plans
Provident fund
The Group pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per the local regulations. The
Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted
for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are
due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future
payments is available.
Superannuation fund
Certain employees of the Group are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations
to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested
with Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company Limited.
(q) Employee stock option scheme (ESOS)
ESOS Scheme
The employees of the Group are entitled for grant of stock option (equity shares), based on the eligibility criteria set
in ESOS plan of the Parent Company.
The fair value of options granted under the ESOS plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a
corresponding increase in equity. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over
which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its
estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions.
It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment
to equity.
ESOS Trust
The Parent Company’s ESOS Scheme is administered through Reliance Power ESOS Trust (“RPET”). The Group
treats the RPET as its extension and shares held by RPET are treated as treasury shares and accordingly, RPET is
consolidated in the Parent Company’s books.
(r) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the
lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
132
Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are
presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held
for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
(s) Income taxes
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
end of the reporting period in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is
subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid
to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, on temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted
for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that
at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting
period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income
tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
and liabilities. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to
offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
(t) Leases
The Group as a Lessor
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement
at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is (or contains) a lease if fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent
on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that
right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
These leases are analysed based on the situations and indicators set out in Ind AS-116 Leases in order to determine
whether they constitute operating leases or finance leases.
A finance lease is defined as a lease which transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the
ownership of the related asset to the lessee. All leases which do not comply with the definition of a finance lease
are classified as operating leases.
The following main factors are considered by the Group to assess if a lease transfers substantially all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership: whether
(i) the lessor transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
(ii) the lessee has an option to purchase the asset and if so, the conditions applicable to exercising that option;
(iii) the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset;
(iv) the asset is of a highly specialised nature; and
(v) the present value of minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the
leased asset.
In case of finance lease, finance lease receivable is recognised to reflect the financing deemed to be granted by the
Group where it is considered as acting as lessor and its customers as lessees.
The Group has concluded the finance lease mainly with respect to PPA, particularly where the contract conveys to
the purchaser of the energy an exclusive right to use generated energy.
In case of finance leases, where assets are leased out under a finance lease, the amount recognised under finance
lease receivables is an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
Minimum lease payment made under finance lease is apportioned between the finance income and the reduction of
the outstanding receivables. The finance income is allocated to each period during the lease terms so as to produce
a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease receivable.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
In case of SPL, exemption granted by GoI to the UMPPs under the Custom Act, 1962 is recognised at their fair value
as Government grant. Government grants relating to the purchase of PPE are included in non current liabilities as
deferred income and credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the proportion in which depreciation expense on
those assets is recognised.
Dividends
(aa)
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the
discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting
period.
Business combinations
(bb)
Business combinations involving entities that are controlled by the Group are accounted for using the pooling of
interests method as follows:
(i) The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.
(ii) No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities.
(iii) Adjustments are only made to harmonise accounting policies.
(iv) The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated as if the business
combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective
of the actual date of the combination. However, where the business combination had occurred after that date,
the prior period information is restated only from that date.
(v) The balance of the retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is aggregated with
the corresponding balance appearing in the financial statements of the transferee or is adjusted against General
Reserve.
(vi) The identities of the reserves are preserved and the reserves of the transferor become the reserves of the
transferee.
(vii) The difference, if any, between the amounts recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration
in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital
reserve and is presented separately from other capital reserves.
2.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements under Ind AS requires the management to take decisions and
make estimates and assumptions that may impact the value of revenues, costs, assets, liabilities and the related disclosures
concerning the items involved as well as contingent assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date. Estimates and
judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19 (COVID 19):
The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying
amounts of receivables, unbilled revenues, goodwill and intangible assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the
possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Group, as at the date of
approval of these financial statements has used internal and external sources of information on the expected future
performance of the Group. The Group has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current
estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company
financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial statements.
(a) Useful life of Power Plants given on finance lease classified as finance lease receivables
The Group has independently estimated the useful life and method of depreciation of power plant and coal mine
assets considering the total portfolio of power generation assets based on the expected wear and tear, industry trends
etc. In actual, the wear and tear can be different. When the useful lives differ from the original estimated useful lives,
the Group will adjust the estimated useful life / residual value accordingly. It is possible that the estimates made
based on existing experience are different to the actual outcomes within the next financial period and could cause a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of PPE and finance lease receivables.
(b) Stripping ratio for coal mining
Significant estimate is involved in case of open pit mining operations for estimating quantity of overburden and
mineable coal reserve which would be extracted over the life of the mine, based on which stripping ratio is determined.
This ratio is periodically reviewed and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively. SPL has considered the
stripping ratio based on the coal mine plan approved by the regulator.

Tariff) Regulations, 2014 in case of RPSCL and truing up of fixed charges and fuel adjustment charges as per the
applicable MERC (Multi year tariff) Regulations in case of VIPL.
(i) Mine closure obligation
Provision is made for costs associated with restoration and rehabilitation of mining sites as soon as the obligation
to incur such costs arises. Such restoration and closure costs are typical of extractive industries and they are
normally incurred at the end of the life of the mine. The costs are estimated on the basis of mine closure plans
and the estimated discounted costs of dismantling and removing these facilities and the costs of restoration are
capitalised when incurred reflecting the obligations at that time. The provision for decommissioning assets is based
on the current estimate of the costs for removing and decommissioning production facilities, the forecast timing
of settlement of decommissioning liabilities and the appropriate discount rate.
(j) Provision
Estimates of the amounts of provisions recognised are based on current legal and constructive requirements,
technology and price levels. Because actual outflows can differ from estimates due to changes in laws, regulations,
public expectations, technology, prices and conditions, and can take place many years in the future, the carrying
amounts of provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to take account of such changes.

contractor for the Bangladesh project. SMPL has signed an Equipment Supply Contract on 11 March, 2020 to sell
equipment of one module.
Considering the aforesaid developments, management of the Company is confident that RBLPL will be able to execute
the project and the Company will be able to realize the proceeds for transfer of one Module in the near future. The
proceeds from the sale of module 1 will be sufficient to repay a major portion of the outstanding loan.
Having regard to the above plans, and the continued financial support from the Parent Company, the management
believes that SMPL would be able to meet its financial and other obligations in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the
financial statements of SMPL have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Parent Company proposed to develop a 7,480 MW gas-based power project to be located at Dadri, District Hapur,
Uttar Pradesh in the year 2003. The Government of Uttar Pradesh (the GoUP) in the year 2004 acquired 2,100 acres
of land and conveyed the same to the Parent Company in the year 2005, However, certain land owners challenged the
acquisition of land by the GoUP for the project before the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court. The Hon’ble Allahabad High Court
quashed a part of land acquisition proceedings. Subsequently, in the appeals filed by the Parent Company and land owners
against the findings of the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held the land acquisition proceedings
as lapsed but upheld the right of the Parent Company to recover the amount paid in any other proceeding. Considering
the above facts, the Parent Company has classified assets related to the Dadri project under the head ‘Non-current assets
classified as held for sale. During the year ended March 31, 2020, out of Prudence of the Parent Company has fully
provided for receivables of ` 15,005 lakhs against the project. (Refer note 33(a)).

structure and capital expenditure incurred, RSTEPL has capitalised its plant on October 01, 2018. Leaving DNI (direct normal
irradiance) uncertainty aside, in terms of operating performance, for a given level of DNI input (in terms of its quantity and
quality), plant is able to generate predictable level of energy.
Post capitalisation, as explained above, the plant has been operating at a sub-optimum level due to various factors such as
lower DNI, availability of the experts for the technology, the technology being nascent and very few plants of this size being
operating across the world.

Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
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 the
sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the
defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been
applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet. The methods and types of
assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
The above funded defined benefit plans are administrated by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Reliance
Nippon Life Insurance Company Limited (RLIC).
(iv) For unfunded plan, the Group has no compulsion to pre fund the liability of the plan. The Group’s policy is not to
externally fund these liabilities but instead recognise the provision and pay the gratuity to its employees directly from
its own resources as and when the employee leaves the Group.
(v) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions:
The Company will pay based on demand raised by LIC and RLIC towards gratuity liability on time to time basis to
eliminate the deficit in defined benefit plan.
(vi) The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets under perform
this yield, this will create a deficit.

(d) Valuation technique used to determine fair values
Specific valuation technique used to determine the fair values:
• Investment in mutual funds are valued using the closing Net Assets Value (NAV). NAV represents the price at
which the issuer will issue these units and will redeem such units of mutual fund to and from the investor.
• Interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable
curves.
• Forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using Bloomberg forward contract pricing model, which
determines fair value on a discontinued cash flow basis.
• Foreign currency option contracts is determined using the Black Scholes valuation model.
• Remaining 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 their short-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 be evaluated for their carrying amounts based on any change in the under-lying credit risk of the
Group borrowing (since the date of inception of the loans).
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount is equal to the fair values.
171
Reliance Power Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Note:
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) is determined 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. This is the case for unlisted equity securities which are included in level 3.
There are no transfers between any levels during the year.
The Group’s policy is to recognise transfer into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the
reporting period.
20. Financial risk management
The Group’s business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risks and credit risk.

35. (a) VIPL has incurred an operating loss during the year ended March 31, 2020. VIPL’s ability to meet its obligations
is dependent on material uncertain events including outcome of an Appeal challenging the Order of Hon’ble
Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) dated December 16, 2019 relating to the notice of
termination of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), before Ld. Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL). Final
hearing in the matter is scheduled on May 22, 2020, however, in the last hearing on March 6, 2020, VIPL sought
adjournment stating that the PPA termination Order passed by Hon’ble MERC was based on its findings on the
pendency of Civil Appeal (CA) No. 372 of 2017 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court (SC), which Hon’ble MERC has
filed on the Order/Judgment received from Ld. Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (APTEL) partially setting aside the
Hon’ble MERC Order dated June 20, 2016. Final hearing in CA No. 372 of 2017 is expected to be scheduled soon.
Further in light of the ratio determined in the Hon’ble SC Judgment in Civil Appeal 5399-5400 of 2016 (Energy
Watchdog Vs. CERC) and Hon’ble MERC Order dated 07.03.2018 in APML vs. MSEDCL matter, VIPL filed a revised
Mid-Term Review (MTR) seeking full recovery of coal costs in the variable charge for the period starting from
COD till date and for the future period. However, after reserving the order on 8th January 2019, Hon’ble MERC
has not issued the same till date. To expedite the MTR Order, VIPL has filed an interim application in CA 372 of
2017 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court seeking direction to Hon’ble MERC for releasing the Mid-Term Review
(MTR) order, which would entail recovery of coal cost by VIPL in terms of the change in law relief from MERC
in its MTR petition and securitisation of such receivables would provide with necessary liquidity to make the debt
service current and support sustained plant operations moving forward. Pursuant to its successful participation in
auction carried out by Coal India Limited under SHAKTI Policy, VIPL has received a Letter of Intent (LoI) for long-
term supply of coal for its Unit 1 from Western Coal Fields Limited (WCL) and has taken steps towards execution
of Fuel Supply Agreement for Unit 1, thereby extending long-term security of fuel supply to Unit 1, that is already
available for Unit 2. However, WCL has issued a letter cancelling the LoI for Unit 1 on the assumption that PPA
has been terminated by AEML, which VIPL is contesting at the appropriate forum. With this, both 300 MW units
of VIPL will have long-term security of fuel supply. Subsequent to the quarter ended on December 31, 2019, one
of the lenders of VIPL has filed an application under the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016
(IBC) seeking debt resolution of VIPL. VIPL has been in discussion with all its lenders for a resolution outside the
Corporate Insolvency resolution process (CIRP). In view of the above, the financial statements of the VIPL have
been prepared on a going concern basis.
(b) RSTEPL is actively engaged with the lenders to restructure the terms of loan and is confident of achieving the debt
resolution and further since there exist support from Parent Company to repay the debt and other obligations, the
financial statement of RSTEPL have been prepared on going concern.
36. As at March 31, 2020, the current liabilities of the Group exceed the current assets. The Group is confident of restructuring
the loans consequent to which there would be no mismatch in the cash flows. Even otherwise the Group expects to
generate sufficient and timely cash flows through time bound monetisation of gas based power plant equipments
and other assets of certain subsidiaries as also realize amount from regulatory/ arbitration claims. Notwithstanding
the dependence on material uncertain events including finalisation of restructuring of lending arrangements, sale of
equipment and favourable and timely outcome of various claims, the Group is confident that such cash flows would
enable it to service its debt, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of its business. Accordingly,
the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis.
37. During the year, Adani Electricity (Mumbai) Limited terminated the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with VIPL as
the plant was un-operational since January 15, 2019. The termination was considered as valid by the Maharashtra
Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) vide its Order dated December 16, 2019. VIPL has challenged the termination
order before the Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (APTEL). As per the terms of the PPA, the entire output of the plant
was to be supplied to AEML and the PPA was also entered for the significant part of the life of the plant, VIPL had
considered the contract as Finance Lease. Since, the PPA stands terminated the requirements of maintaining the finance
lease receivables under Ind AS 116 “Leases” does not arise and hence, VIPL reinstated the value of Property Plant and
Equipment at its fair value based on the value determined by the independent expert. As per the valuation, after giving
effect of the finance lease receivable carrying in the books there was an impairment provision of ` 1,09,419 lakhs which
was charged off to Statement of Profit and Loss as an exceptional item.
38. Pursuant to the approval of the scheme of Amalgamation by NCLT Mumbai on August 30, 2018 and NCLT Chandigarh
on March 04, 2020, the transferor companies i.e. Amulin Hydro Power Private Limited, Emini Hydro Power Private
Limited, Mihundon Hydro Power Private Limited, Lara Sumta Hydro Power Private Limited, Sumte Kothang Hydro Power
Private Limited and Purthi Hydro Power Private Limited have been amalgamated with Reliance Cleangen limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company with effect from March 26, 2020. The said amalgamation will not have
impact on the Consolidated Financials of Reliance Power Limited.
39. During the year ended March 31, 2020, 12,73,21,500 equity shares, constituting 30% of Share capital, of RPSCL, a
subsidiary of the Parent Company, held as pledge for term loan facility to the Parent Company were invoked by a lender.
No impact of the said invocation has been given in the books of account except for the share holding of the Parent
Company, which stands reduced by 30% to 70%.

40. COVID-19 Pandemic has caused unprecedented economic disruption globally and in India. The Group is sensitive about
the impact of the Pandemic, not only on the human life but on businesses and industrial activity across the globe, which
will be ascertained only over next few months. The Group has been monitoring the situation closely and has taken
proactive measures to comply with various directions / regulations / guidelines issued by the Government and local
bodies to ensure safety of workforce across all its plants and offices. The Group has made initial assessment of the likely
adverse impact on economic environment in general and operational and financial risks on account of COVID-19. Vide
notification dated March 24 2020 issued by Ministry of Home Affairs a nation-wide lockdown was announced to contain
COVID-19 outbreak and the same has been progressively extended later. However, Power generation, transmission &
distribution units, being essential services, are allowed to continue operation during the period of lockdown. So far, the
Company has been able to sustain its power plant operations and honour commitments under the various Power Purchase
Agreements. There has been a sharp decline in the electricity demand, by 20 to 25%, primarily from industrial and
commercial consumer segments, arising from lockdown measures announced by the Government. The Power Ministry
has clarified on April 6, 2020 that despite lower power offtake due to sharp reduction in demand, Discoms will have
to comply with the obligation to pay fixed capacity charges as per PPA. Further, the Reserve Bank of India has granted
relief to borrowers by way of moratorium of interest and principal installments falling due to Indian banks and financial
institutions till May 31, 2020. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s results will
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including, among other things, evolving impact on Discoms
in terms of demand for electricity; consumption mix; resultant average tariff realisation; bill collections from consumers;
and support from respective State Governments and banks & financial institutions, including those focused on power
sector financing.

The Parent Company, through its subsidiary MEGL, had signed Memorandum of Understanding with Government of
Maharashtra (GoM) to set up 4,000 MW power project at Shahapur, Raigad District. MEGL expected that the Shahapur
project will require 2,500 acres of land for the Power Project. However, the land acquisition procedures could not be
completed within the stipulated period and hence MEGL informed the GoM, vide letter dated September 06, 2011, of its
decision not to pursue the project. Based on the Honorable High Court Order dated February 07, 2013, MEGL has received
` 3,716 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2013, out of the total advance of ` 4,360 lakhs paid to the
GoM for acquisition of land. The balance amount of ` 644 lakhs receivable from the GoM is in the process of
recovery. Shetkari Sangharsh Samitee has filed Special Leave Petition in the Honorable Supreme Court of India
against the Company, requesting for the stay on the Bombay High Court Order, directing refund of MEGL deposits
by the GoM.
Further MEGL had given an advance of ` 596 lakhs to the Land Owners towards direct purchase of land and has
issued legal notice for the refund of the amount paid to them. As there are no operations in MEGL as of now, the
financial statement have not been prepared on going concern basis accordingly, assets and liabilities have been
stated at their net realisable value or cost, whichever is less.
Considering the above facts, the Group has classified assets related to projects under head ‘Assets classified as held

allowed by Ministry of Coal (MoC) vide its Gazette notification No.335 dated February 17, 2010 and balance
from other sources. The Company had participated in bid for supply of power of Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation
Limited and Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Limited.

February 17, 2010 permitting use of surplus coal from Sasan UMPP for this project resulting in frustration of the
bids due to non availability of coal.
