Annual Report 2010-11

Letter to sHareHoLDers
Dear Shareholders, It gives me immense pleasure to communicate with you on the occasion of the Twenty Second Annual general Meeting, scheduled on 19th September, 2011. Friends, during the year the Indian economy has posted a further recovery improving the Country’s gross Domestic Product (gDP) to 8.5 per cent in 2010-11 from 8 per cent during last fiscal. To ensure the envisaged gDP growth, Power Sector needs to grow at a rate higher than that of gDP . Therefore, continued focus on investments on Power sector is essential. You are aware that the Follow-on-Public offer (FPo) of divestment of 10% of govt. equity (420,884,123 shares) and issue of 10% fresh capital (420,884,123 shares) in November, 2010 of your Company received huge response from both domestic & Foreign Institutional Investors. The Issue was oversubscribed nearly 15 times. Post FPo, the holding of government of India is 69.42%. I am happy to inform that your company has achieved an impressive performance in fiscal 2010-11 on various fronts. on the financial front, your Company’s gross Turnover recorded `9099.80 crore, an increase of 21.27% compared to the previous Fiscal 2009-10. Similarly, Profit after Tax during the year increased to `2696.89 Crore from ` 2040.94 Crore in Fiscal 2009-10, registering a growth of 32.14%. our gross Fixed Assets as on 31st March, 2011 are valued at ` 50,351.78 Crore as against ` 43,202.28 crore in last fiscal. In fact your Company’s gross Fixed Asset have grown about 74% during last five years. Further, Board of Directors of your company accorded investment approval for 25 new transmission projects at a total estimated cost of about ` 21,150 Crore during financial year 2010-11. on the operational front, as on 31st March, 2011, your company owns and operates a transmission network of about 82,355 ckt kms of inter-State transmission lines, 135 nos. of EHv & HvDC substations with transformation capacity of about 93,050 MvA and wheels about 50% of total power generated in the Country. Transmission system availability of 99.80%, best ever so far, was achieved in the history of the Company and projects worth about `7,313 Crore were commissioned during the year. Under RggvY, during this fiscal, your Company created infrastructure for electrification of 4710 un-electrified villages against a target of 3500 villages, an achievement of 135%. Service connections to about 10.60 Lakh BPL households were also provided as against a target of 7 Lakh, an achievement of about 150%. The Inter–regional transmission capacity of your Company has been enhanced to 23,800 Mw with the commissioning of Rourkela-Raigarh 400kv D/c transmission line in July 2011. The business development opportunities continued to receive focussed attention both in the domestic and international market. During 2010-11, your Company earned revenue of `299.35 Crore towards consultancy fee from its various ongoing assignments as compared to ` 269.17 Crore in last fiscal. The telecom segment also registered a revenue of `187.20 crore as compared to `157.72 Crore in last fiscal. on the subsidiary company set up by your Company for Independent system operation viz. Power System operation Corporation Ltd (PoSoCo), PowERgRID has transferred the movable assets and liabilities to PoSoCo w.e.f. 1st october, 2010. PoSoCo is now fully functional and has started billing the constituents for fees and charges from 1st october, 2010 in terms of CERC Regulations on Fees and Charges of Regional Load Despatch Centre. Friends, PowERgRID, the Central Transmission Utility (CTU) of the Country is playing a pivotal role in Inter-State Transmission network planning and development both at regional and national level as well as its implementation. A number of inter-state grid strengthening schemes as well as inter-regional strengthening scheme have been identified by CTU for implementation. As CTU, your Company is also mandated to provide Short / Medium-term open Access (SToA/ MToA) and Long-term Access(LTA). As you are aware, Non-discriminatory open Access is the key for development of a successful Competitive Electricity Market. Short-Term open Access in inter-State transmission has been successfully implemented. During the year, more than 3

19,900 transactions were approved under open access, involving about 55,000 MUs of energy. Towards sustainable development, as CTU, your Company has focused for integration of emerging technologies like 1200kv UHvAC, ±800kv HvDC, FACTS, Smart grid etc. into transmission sector development, which are first of its kind in the Country. As part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), your Company is making contributions to the society at large, wherein activities for Socio-Economic development of weaker sections have been taken up. 1% of PAT of the company of the preceding year is now earmarked as non lapsable budget for CSR activities. During FY 2010-11, ` 15.58 crore was spent on the development of infrastructure in nearby villages like constructing class room, library, computer room for schools, primary health centre, drinking & sanitation facility, check dam, drainage, roads, community centre, etc. These facilities were created with the objective of long lasting value and have multiplier effect on improving the standard and quality of life of people. Your Company has been ranked as 8th Fastest-growing Asian Companies and 18th Fastest-growing global Companies in the Platts Top 250 global Energy Company rankings for the year 2010. Company has also featured in the Forbes global 2000 list. A major development in the transmission sector is that tariff based competitive bidding has been effective for transmission projects w.e.f. 06th January, 2011. Competitive bidding, however, is not applicable for transmission projects requiring upgradation/strengthening of existing transmission lines and associated sub-stations and also not for projects for which Bulk Power Transmission Agreement/Transmission Service Agreement (BPTA/TSA) have been signed upto 05.01.2011. I wish to share with you that PowERgRID had already signed BPTAs for nine nos. of High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors which have a tentative cost estimate of about `58000 crore, to be executed progressively through XII Plan and for a no. of other projects. Exemptions have also been extended by Ministry of Power in July, 2011 from competitive bidding route for first two experimental works for 1200 kv UHvAC line; works to cater an urgent situation or any requirement in compressed time schedule by CTU/State transmission Utility (STU), as decided by Central govt. on a case to case basis; for intra-state transmission projects by STUs for further 2 years beyond 6th Jan, 2011. Lastly, I wish to share with you that I shall be demitting the office on 31st August, 2011 upon attaining superannuation. Shri R. N. Nayak, Director (operations) of your Company at present, shall be taking over charge as Chairman and Managing Director from 1st September, 2011 in terms of govt. order, to take the Company forward.

oPerationaL eXCeLLenCe
Your Company, with its strong in-house expertise in all specialised areas of power transmission business, has carved a niche for itself amongst the largest transmission utilities in the world. Today, your Company wheels about 50% of total power generated in the country through its transmission network. As on 31st March, 2011, your Company owns & operates a transmission network of 82,355 ckm of transmission lines, 135 nos. of EHv & HvDC substations and transformation capacity of about 93,050 mVa. During FY 2010-11, transmission system availability of 99.80% was achieved for our transmission network. Besides, number of trippings per line was also contained at 1.27 against MoU target of 2.5 under “Excellent” category. Maintaining such high availability was possible through deployment of state-of-the-art operation & Maintenance techniques at par with international standards. Your Company follows state-of-the-art preventive maintenance. Equipment health is assessed periodically using “Condition Assessment Techniques”. Maintenance activities are planned well in-advance and an “Annual Maintenance Plan” is chalked out for every asset through live line or shut down as per technical feasibility. Your Company also employs state-of-the-art “Emergency Restoration System” for restoration of collapsed transmission lines, due to natural calamities or otherwise, in shortest possible time. Replacement of aged assets has also been taken up as per prevalent CERC tariff regulations. o&M activities of your Company are ISo certified. Systems and procedures are in place and being upgraded periodically to keep abreast with the latest technology. Formats for documentation on schedule & procedures have been standardized for all assets. All substations and line offices can access these documents through Company’s web-portal. Periodic reviews are also conducted at regional level as well as at Substations and Line offices to evaluate implementation of the systems and procedures. Presently, about 30 sub-stations of PowERgRID are operated remotely and many new sub-stations are being designed for remote operation. For further improvement in operational efficiency, “national transmission asset management Centre” is being established to control & operate most of the sub-stations remotely and establishment of “Maintenance Service Hub” facility has commenced, which caters to the maintenance need of a group of sub-stations rather than placing staff in each sub-station. This will not only help in optimal utilisation of manpower & resources but also reduce the response time in case of faults & breakdowns. options are also being explored for use of Robots in transmission lines’ inspection besides aerial patrolling of transmission lines using helicopters, to optimise manpower requirement/ time management for line patrolling and improve efficiency in maintaining them.

ProJeCt imPLementation
Transmission projects are planned, implemented, monitored and controlled through Integrated Project Management and Control System, which has been developed matching with the organization structure, effective working, flow of information and feed back. Project implementation activities involves total project review and monitoring including Standardisation of Designs, Project Review Meetings at regular intervals through video conferencing, pre-emptive measures and advance actions on various project linked activities such as land acquisition, state-of-the-art survey techniques and soil investigations, tender activities, funding tie-up, etc. in parallel with project investment approval process. During FY 2010-11, transmission projects worth ` 7,313 Crore were commissioned as compared to ` 3,610 Crore for the previous year. Your Company has commissioned about 6,760 ckm of transmission lines, 11 new sub-stations and transformation capacity of about 9,500 mVa. These additions to the Company’s network have helped in improving power supply situation in various regional grids leading to improved system reliability and better grid stability to meet the total all time high peak demand of 111gw & 811BU of energy in 2010-11. Presently, transmission projects of about ` 93,000 Crore are under various stages of implementation and are progressing well matching with commissioning schedule of generation projects in the country. This includes 25 new transmission projects approved by the Board of Directors in FY 2010-11 at an estimated cost of about ` 21,150 Crore comprising of about 8,000 ckm of transmission lines & 5200 Km of fibre optic network, 23 nos. sub-stations and transformation capacity of about 32,000 mVa. Major ongoing projects are, Transmission System associated with generation projects like Subansiri & Kameng HEPs (which includes 2000 km, ±800 kv HvDC bipole link), DvC & Maithon Right Bank project, Sasan, Mundra & Krishnapatnam Ultra Mega Power Projects, Pallatana gBPP Bongaigaon TPS, Transmission system for transfer of power from Bhutan to NR/wR, Interconnection , between Indian & Bangladesh power grids, Development of High Capacity Transmission corridor for phase-I IPPs in the State of odisha, Transmission system for IPP generation Projects in the State of Sikkim & Chhattisgarh, etc. and System Strengthening schemes in Northern, Eastern, western & Southern Regions etc. Your Company has an impeccable track record of not bottling up of even a single mega Watt of power from central sector generation projects for want of inter-state transmission system. Accelerated growth path of your Company during XI plan can be demonstrated from the following table, which shows a phenomenal built up of about 30% capacity of Company’s present network in last four years only w.r.t. the capacity as built in last many years.

Green initiatives
Major reason for continuous degradation of earth’s climate and environment may be attributed to emission of billions of tons of greenhouse and other potent gases in atmosphere due to mankind’s heavy dependence on fossil fuel for many of its daily needs. As Indian population is increasing and economy is growing at large pace, demand for power will increase manifold. It is well established fact that growth brings with it the risk of environmental problems, and unless significant energy conservation measures and large scale use of eco-friendly measures are undertaken, necessitating huge investments to protect the environment. Transmission projects can play a significant role in harnessing clean/green power through innovative and challenging initiatives. Accordingly, PowERgRID, being a responsive organisation, is constructing ±800kv HvDC high capacity transmission system for transfer of about 6,000 Mw of power from hydro projects in North-Eastern Region to far away beneficiaries in Northern & western Regions. The expected environmental benefits are: • Will reduce CO2 emissions by replacing thermal generation at load centres of Northern & western Regions by transmitting about 6,000 Mw of clean/green hydro power generated in phases in the remote and under developed North-Eastern Region of the country with negligible environment impact. • Otherwise, the Northern & Western Regions of the country, which are deficit in energy, would set up equivalent coal fired thermal power plants. It is envisaged that about 257 million tons of Co2 emission would be reduced during the 30 year lifecycle of the HvDC transmission system. It is heartening to note that our sincere efforts towards environment protection has started bearing fruits in terms of the appreciation and awards PowERgRID had received during the last three years.

management Discussion and analysis
economic outlook
The growth rate of the Country’s gross Domestic Product1 posted a further recovery of 8.5 per cent in 2010-11 representing an increase from the revised growth of 8.0 per cent during 2009-10 and from 6.7 per cent during 2008-09. The growth shows that the Country emerged rapidly from the economic slowdown caused by the global financial crisis of 2007-09. To ensure the

envisaged gDP growth, Power Sector needs to grow at a rate higher than that of gDP Therefore, continued focus on . investments on Power sector is essential.

sectoral outlook
The 11th Plan had originally envisaged a capacity addition of 78,700 Mw. The revised mid term appraisal target for total capacity addition is now 62,374 Mw, which is about three times the capacity addition that took place in the 10th Plan. In terms of capacity addition, the revised targets of Centre and States for the Eleventh Plan are as under:

PoWerGriD - the company
PowERgRID is a “Navratna” Company for more than three years now. The Navratna status provides us with powers to undertake new transmission projects of any amount without government approval. PowERgRID is also entrusted with role of Central Transmission Utility (“CTU”) by goI. In this role, the Company operates as one of the chief agencies responsible for the planning and development of the country’s nationwide power transmission network, including interstate networks. As CTU we are required to: (a) undertake transmission of electricity through the inter-state transmission system; (b) discharge all functions of planning and co-ordination relating to inter-state transmission systems, with certain specified authorities and stakeholders; (c) ensure development of an efficient, coordinated and economical system of inter-state transmission lines for smooth flow of electricity from generating stations to load centres; and (d) provide non-discriminatory open access to its transmission system for use by any licensee or generating company on payment of transmission charges and to any consumer on payment of transmission charges and a surcharge thereon in accordance with the Electricity Act. In line with above, PowERgRID, the CTU is playing a pivotal role in Inter-State Transmission network planning and development at regional and national level. The network is developed based on the National Electricity Plan in coordination with all concerned agencies. Nine nos. high capacity transmission corridors mainly comprising of 765kv D/C and ±800kv 6000Mw HvDC lines are being developed across the country to enhance the transmission capacity of the National grid and facilitate transfer of power from various generation complex to bulk load centres in particular and development of competitive electricity market in general. Regulatory approval for implementation of above corridors also obtained by CTU. In addition, a number of grid strengthening schemes including inter-regional strengthening have been identified by CTU for implementation. Above schemes shall facilitate enhancement of ISTS as well as inter-regional capacity. Further, to encourage the capacity addition programme, CTU has been a catalyst in introduction of connectivity, Short / Medium-term open Access (SToA/MToA) and Long-term Access (LTA) mechanisms. CTU in its role towards providing connectivity and Medium-term open Access(MToA), Long-term Access (LTA), has already granted LTA to 135 applicants and connectivity to 39 IPP applicants with total capacity of about 155,000Mw including MToA. Considering the need for sustainable development, CTU has imparted focus towards integration of emerging technologies like 1200kv UHvAC, ±800kv 6000Mw HvDC, FACTS, Smart grid etc. into transmission development, which are first of its kind in the country. Towards development of transmission infrastructure through tariff based competitive bidding process, CTU is also playing key role. CTU has already identified transmission schemes worth ` 10,000 Cr. which are being implemented through tariff based competitive bidding process. CTU is providing technical inputs in Standard Bidding Document (SBD), finalisation of implementation schedule of transmission system to be implemented through tariff based bidding in coordination with CEA. CTU during operation stage is also carrying out Billing, Collection and Disbursement of ISTS transmission charges besides signing of TSA (Transmission Service Agreement) and RSA (Revenue Sharing Agreement) with the ISTS users.

A major development in the transmission sector is that tariff based competitive bidding has been effective for transmission projects w.e.f. 06th January, 2011. Competitive bidding, however, is not applicable for transmission projects requiring upgradation/strengthening of existing transmission lines and associated sub-stations and also not for projects for which Bulk Power Transmission Agreement/Transmission Service Agreement (BPTA/TSA) have been signed upto 05.01.2011. PowERgRID had already signed BPTAs for nine nos. of High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors which have a tentative cost estimate of about `58000 crore, to be executed progressively through XII Plan and for a no. of other projects. Exemptions have also been extended by Ministry of Power in July, 2011 from competitive bidding route for first two experimental works for 1200 kv UHvAC line; works to cater an urgent situation or any requirement in compressed time schedule by CTU/State transmission Utility (STU), as decided by Central govt. on a case to case basis; for intra-state transmission projects by STUs for further 2 years beyond 6th Jan, 2011.

Growth in transmission:
Keeping in view the large incremental capacity addition requirements of the current Plan and to fulfill the macro objective of Power sector, PowERgRID is oriented towards implementation of generation evacuation schemes, strengthening of regional grids, development of an integrated National grid with flexibility for power transfer from one region to another. PowERgRID has, till 31st March, 2011: ¾ Established Transmission Network of 82,355 Circuit kms. of Extra High voltage Transmission Lines, 135 nos. of EHvAC & HvDC sub-stations with a total transformation capacity of 93,050 MvA. ¾ Inter-regional power transfer capacity of about 22,400 Mw1, ¾ Maintained the transmission system availability at 99.80% at par with the International utilities. ¾ wheeled about 50% of the total power generated in the Country through its transmission network.
1

with the commissioning of Rourkela-Raigarh 400kv D/c transmission line in July, 2011, the Inter–regional transmission capacity of your Company has been enhanced to 23,800 Mw.

The company has undertaken development of certain transmission lines with private parties, in public-private Joint ventures. The detail in this regard has been provided later in the discussion. The commercial and operational performance and project implementation are in the Directors’ Report.

resolving right-of-Way Constraints and Construction Challenges
PowERgRID is implementing various projects relating to development of inter-State transmission system, system strengthening schemes, transmission system for evacuation of power from generation projects under Central Sector and Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) including many projects under consultancy assignments. This entails multi-dimensional challenges relating mainly to accessibility, construction, feasibility, technical restrictions, conservation of environment and right-of-way etc. PowERgRID, apart from using modern techniques for route alignment and optimization of line length of transmission lines, vendor development, etc. has taken various measures to resolve constraints which inter-alia includes following:

• Development of 765kV D/c transmission line
Recognizing the requirement of bulk power transfer coupled with issues in getting Right-of-way for construction of transmission line, focus has been imparted towards increasing the power transfer capacity of the transmission corridor. Towards this, PowERgRID has developed high capacity 765kv double circuit transmission corridor first time in India utilizing almost same Right-of-way as that of 765kv single circuit line. This shall facilitate enhancing the power transfer capacity of the corridor by almost double than that of 765kv single circuit corridor. Such type of high capacity corridors are being developed by PowERgRID as part of transmission system of IPPs in Chhattisgarh, orissa, Jharkhand, etc.

• Development of 400kV multi circuit transmission line
In areas where there are serious Right-of-way constraint for laying a number of 400kv transmission lines, multi-circuit towers are being provided so that two nos. 400kv double circuit lines can run on a single tower. It has resulted into reduction in Rightof-way requirement as well as minimized the impact of flora and fauna. Such type of multi-circuit lines are being developed as part of transmission system of IPP Projects in Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, DvC projects, wRSS-v, Kudankulam, vellur-I Transmission System, etc.

• Providing training to enhance availability of skilled manpower for construction
To achieve target set for Transmission Sector, availability of adequate trained and skilled manpower is essential. PowERgRID, as part of Corporate Social Responsibility and capacity building initiative, had undertaken training 1000 workmen approximately for tower erection and transmission line stringing activities. The first batch of 58 participants have been imparted training and the second batch of 56 participants are undergoing training.

• sustainable Development
a) Green initiative:
As a responsible organization, PowERgRID utilizes its technological resources to optimize route alignment for its transmission line with particular emphasis on avoidance of Forest, National Park / wildlife Sanctuaries and other ecologically sensitive areas and due to its efforts, substantial reduction in the involvement of forest has been achieved. During the Financial Year 2010-11, PowERgRID has obtained “in-principle” approval from MoEF for approx. 1033 hectare of forest land for line 400 kv Parvati-Amritsar, Chamera - Jallandhar, Koderma- Biharsharif, Maithan-Ranchi, Korba-Birsingpur, Lower Subansiri-Biswanath Chariali & 765 kv Seoni-wardha T/L, etc. and final approval for 244 hectare of forest land after complying with the stipulated conditions of in-principle approval for lines like 220 kv Rajera-Chamera III, 400 kv KodermaBiharsharif, Korba-Raipur, Raipur-wardha, etc.

25

The process of obtaining forest clearance has become lengthier/complex due to circular of Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), requiring written consent of concerned gram Sabha under the Forest Rights Act, (FRA) 2006 for all the proposals for diversion of forest land. PowERgRID sought exemption for transmission project from the ambit of FRA, 2006 from MoEF, since transmission line are linear project and are drawn substantially high above the ground avoiding possible encounter with such sensitive habitat/tribal areas. Such exemption, if granted shall go a long way in facilitating implementation of transmission projects on scheduled date.

b) Land availability for sub-stations:
To mitigate scantiness of Land, particularly in suburbs of cities, PowERgRID has undertaken establishment of gas Insulated Sub-stations (gIS) in place of conventional Sub-stations. Presently, there exists three numbers of gIS Sub-stations and about nine numbers of gIS Sub-stations are under execution.

operational efficiency through technology absorption

• •



Replacement of conventional porcelain insulators with polymer insulators in polluted stretches have considerably reduced pollution related trippings and resulted in smooth operation of Northern grid in foggy winters of 2010-11. PowERgRID has implemented Smart grid Pilot Project first time in India using wAMS (wide Area Measurement Technology) with successful commissioning of 8 numbers of Phaser Measurement Units (PMUs) in Northern Region. New Time Synchronized PMU data is helping grid Management in Northern Region by providing deeper insight into the System, increasing loadability of lines, flow control on power corridors. Further, implementation of Smart grid wAMS Project in wR, ER, SR and NER as part of Pilot Project are under various stages of implementation. PowERgRID has taken substantive initiative to modernize its infrastructure and services by introduction of remote operation of good number of substations for more effective utilization of our manpower and efficiency in operation.

managing exigency:
Department of Telecommunication (DoT) decided to allocate Microwave Frequencies to Broadband wireless Access Services. PowERgRID was advised to release the 2.3-2.5 gHz frequency band used for ULDC Project. This challenge was accepted by PowERgRID and now fibre optic based Communication Network of 9614 kms covering NR, ER , SR & NER regions is under implementation after due approval of all stakeholders.

adequate coverage for assets and Loss of Profit:
PowERgRID is in advanced stage of procuring Mega/Large Risk Policy from external Insurance agency(ies). This policy would cover inter alia sub-station equipment in switchyard area along with control room building for all sub-stations (AC & HvDC) for material losses due to machinery breakdown, earthquake etc. and also Loss of Profit due to Fire and Machinery Damage. Earlier, the Insurance policy from external agency was taken for all HvDC Bi-pole & back to back Stations, 765 kv AC Substations, TCSC, FSC, SvC, gIS etc. and assets of 400kv and below AC sub-stations were covered under the Self Insurance Scheme (SIS) for fire and allied perils without machinery breakdown.

some major risks and mitigation:
Some of the risks involved in execution of our projects and their mitigation generally are: a) synchronization risk with generation projects:- There could be always a gap in the commissioning of generation units with the transmission system and there might be delays in the materialisation of some of the generation projects. To mitigate the same, the IPPs are signing Bulk Power Transmission Agreement (BPTA) with PowERgRID to share and bear the applicable transmission charges as decided by CERC from the scheduled date of commissioning of respective generating units, corresponding to the capacity of power contracted from the said generation project through open access, irrespective of their actual date of commissioning. Subsequently, when the beneficiaries are firmed up, applicable transmission charges and other charges are to be payable by the concerned beneficiary from the date of signing of the agreement by PowERgRID with the concerned beneficiary. b) roW & forest Clearance risk:- our Projects may get affected in case there is any delay in obtaining the Right of way (Row) for transmission lines; and Forest Clearance from MoEF under Forest Conservation Act for the passage of transmission line passing through forest area. MoEF clearance is required for the involvement of the Forest. However, considering experience of PowERgRID in dealing with the Forest clearance, PowERgRID envisage overall risk to be moderate. However, in case there is any risk relating to Row or forest clearance, this may affect the related projects. Further, the transmission projects are out of the purview of Environment (Protection) Act 1986 except in some notified areas. c) revenue realization risk:- There may be realization of tariff lesser than what is anticipated due to non-acceptance of project cost by CERC and Changes in tariff norms by CERC.

26

Annual Report 2010-11
The revenue generation is estimated in line with CERC guidelines and is expected to be approved by CERC. However it can be confirmed only after final hearing is done and an order is passed. d) Credit risk:- In the past for many years till financial year 2010-11, we were getting about 100% of our billing within the same month. However, during the financial year 2011-12, certain states like Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Bihar and some North Eastern states are availing 60 days grace period for clearing the dues as allowed under CERC regulations.

tariff norms
our charges for transmission customers are governed by tariff norms determined by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) pursuant to central government tariff policy and legislation. As per the Tariff Policy issued by goI on 6th January, 2006, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) shall be guided by the Tariff Policy while specifying the terms and conditions for the determination of tariff. The CERC has vide its notification dated 19th January, 2009 notified the tariff regulations applicable for the tariff Block 2009-14. Under the tariff regulations applicable for the tariff Block 2009-14, we are permitted to charge our customers transmission charges for recovery of annual fixed cost (“AFC”) consisting of components - return on equity, interest on outstanding debt, depreciation, operation & maintenance expenditure and interest on working capital. Earlier, tariff norms allowed us to recover income tax as pass through and this was in addition to the return on equity. From the tariff Block 2009-2014, the Return on equity shall be computed on pre-tax basis by grossing up the base rate of return on equity of 15.5% at the tax rate applicable to the Company. In case of projects commissioned on or after 1st April, 2009, an additional return on Equity of 0.5% will be allowed if such projects are completed within the timeline specified under the CERC tariff regulations for the Block 2009-14. The repayment of loan capital for the year of the tariff period 2009-14 is deemed to be equal to the depreciation allowed for that year. Despite any moratorium period availed by your Company, the repayment of loan is considered for tariff from the first year of commercial operation of the project and shall be equal to the annual depreciation allowed. For interest on working capital, the working capital amount is calculated as - (i) consisting of receivables equivalent to two months of fixed cost; (ii) maintenance spares @ 15% of operation and maintenance expenses; and (iii) operation and maintenance expenses for one month. Rate of interest on working capital for the year is on normative basis and is equal to the short-term Prime Lending Rate of State Bank of India as on 1.4.2009 or on 1st April of the year in which the transmission system, is declared under commercial operation, whose date of commercial operation falls on or before 30.06.2010; and SBI Base rate plus 350 basis points as on 01.07.2010 or on 1st April of the year in which the transmission system, is declared under commercial operation, whichever is later whose date of commercial operation falls between the period 01.07.2010 to 31.07.2014; Recovery of transmission charge and incentive is permitted to your company on the achievement of the operational norms as under:Under the tariff norms prescribed by CERC for the tariff Block 2009-2014, we are also provided with an incentive if the availability of our transmission network is above 98% in respect of alternating current systems, above 95% in respect of HvDC back-to-back Stations systems and above 92% in respect of HvDC bi-pole links and penalized if the availability of our network is below 98%, 95% or 92%, respectively. The Availability Incentives are now linked with monthly transmission charges as against being linked to equity in the block of 2004-09. The tariff norms prescribed by CERC for the tariff Block 2009-2014 prescribe that the Transmission charges corresponding to any plant capacity for which a beneficiary has not been identified and contracted shall be paid by the concerned generating company.

foreign exchange rate Variation:

Your company under the tariff regulations for the block 2009-14 has an option to hedge foreign exchange exposure in respect of the interest on foreign currency loan and repayment of foreign loan acquired for the transmission system, in part or full and recover the cost of hedging of foreign exchange rate variation corresponding to the normative foreign debt, in the relevant year. If hedging of the foreign exchange exposure is not undertaken, the extra rupee liability towards interest payment and loan repayment corresponding to the normative foreign currency loan in the relevant year is permissible provided it is not attributable to the generating company or the transmission licensee or its suppliers or contractors. During the financial year 2010-11, no hedging for foreign exchange exposure has been undertaken by your company. CERC has notified on 2nd May 2011 and made effective from that date, the first amendment to Terms & Conditions of Tariff Regulations 2009-14, wherein the Commission may consider in its discretion to grant provisional tariff upto 95% of the annual fixed cost of the project claimed in the application, subject to adjustment of transmission charge after the final order has been issued. CERC has issued terms and conditions of Tariff (Second amendment) Regulations, 2011 on 21.06.2011 through which inter alia, grossing up of Income Tax in the RoE as per the extant rate of MAT in the respective years of current Tariff Block of 2009-14 has been allowed instead of earlier provision of its truing up during the next Tariff Block. Accordingly, arrears on this account have been billed. The Tariff Policy, 2006 inter alia states that the transmission pricing should be sensitive to distance, direction and quantum of power flow. The Regulations on Sharing of Inter-StateTransmission Charges & Losses, 2010 notified on 15.06.2010, factors distance & direction sensitivity in transmission charges and losses besides quantum of power flow, in line with the Tariff policy. The regulations came into force from 01.07.2011. while the existing system of pricing for Inter State Transmission System is based on Regional postage stamp mechanism, which apportions the Annual Fixed Charges of transmission assets prorated to their allocated inter-state Mw capacity, under the new pricing mechanism, generation and demand zones comprising of electrically and geographically contiguous nodes have been identified and the charges (henceforth called point of connection charges) are allocated on the basis of use of the ISTS, determined through analysis of power-flows. In this model, user of ISTS (called as DICs

28

Annual Report 2010-11
(Designated ISTS Customers)) would be liable to pay transmission access charges directly to the transmission utility. Inter State generating entities and demand customers connected to ISTS are DICs. CERC has notified NLDC (National Load Dispatch Centre) as Implementing Agency (IA) for computation of PoC charges, which are to be approved by CERC . As per these regulations, PowERgRID, as CTU, has been mandated to perform the activity of Billing, Collection and Disbursement (BCD) on behalf of all the ISTS licensees. In this regard, TSA (Transmission Service Agreement), RSA (Revenue Service agreement) and BCD (Billing, Collection and Disbursement) procedures have been approved by CERC on 29.04.2011. The signing of TSA/RSA with the DICs on all India basis is under progress. with the implementation of these Regulations, method of sharing of Transmission Charges among the beneficiaries shall change, though the Annual Tariff of PowERgRID remains the same. However, its sharing among various DICs shall undergo a change. CERC has issued orders for PoSoCo portion of ULDC scheme as per CERC (Fees and charges of Regional Load Dispatch Centres and other related matters) Regulations, 2009 for the period 2009-14. The billing is being done by PoSoCo for their portion. The billing for PowERgRID portion, is provisionally being done as per the existing CERC orders for 2004-09 period after giving effect to the reduction in the asset value transferred to PoSoCo. The Regulation for Non-PoSoCo assets are being framed by CERC. Thereafter, PowERgRID would be filing application to CERC for tariff for 2009-14 period. The Regulations on CERC (grant of Connectivity, Long Term Access & Medium Term open Access in inter-State Transmission and related matters), which facilitates in providing transmission products of different varieties and ensuring level playing field among different categories of market players have been made effective from 01.01.2010 along with the standardized procedures. The CERC vide its order dt. 31.05.2010 has granted regulatory approval to the proposal of PowERgRID for the following nine nos. of High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors which have a tentative cost estimates of about `58000 crore: 1 HCPTC – I (Transmission System Associated with Phase-I generation Projects in orissa) 2 HCPTC – II (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Jharkhand) 3 HCPTC – III (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Sikkim) 4 HCPTC – Iv (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Bilaspur complex, Chattisgarh & IPPs in Madhya Pradesh) 5 HCPTC – v (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Chattisgarh) 6 HCPTC – vI (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Krishnapatnam Area, Andhra Pradesh) 7 HCPTC – vII (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Tuticorin Area, Tamil Nadu) 8 HCPTC – vIII (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Srikakulam Area, Andhra Pradesh) 9 HCPTC – IX (Transmission System Associated with IPP projects in Southern Region for transfer of power to other regions). These transmission corridors mainly comprises high technology 765kv AC and ±800kv 6000Mw/±600kv 4000Mw HvDC system. This approval has been given in the context of the provisions of Tariff Policy notified in 2006 which stipulated that prior agreement with the users would not be a precondition for network expansion and the transmission utilities should undertake network expansion after identifying the requirements in consonance with the National Electricity Plan and in consultation with the stakeholders, and taking up the execution after due regulatory approvals. Your Board has granted investment approvals to some of the schemes under the said corridors. The Regulations on ‘grant of Regulatory Approval for execution of inter-State Transmission Scheme to Central Transmission Utility’ notified on 31.05.2010, streamlines the procedure for according regulatory approval to Central Transmission Utility for network expansion in consonance with the National Electricity Plan which stipulates that prior agreement with the beneficiaries would not be a pre-condition for network expansion.

short term open access
one of the goals of the Electricity Act, 2003 is to provide electricity generators and users with open access to electric power transmission systems on a non-discriminatory basis, when capacity is available and such access will not disrupt regular fixed charge access or network operation. our portion of revenue from the short term open access charge is transmission charges for providing access to the Transmission System and the same is accounted for as revenue from operations.

advance against Depreciation (aaD)
Advance against depreciation is a component of tariff that we were permitted to charge under CERC regulations for the Block 2004-09, to cover shortfall in respect of depreciation in a year on assets, for repayment of debts. This AAD was restricted considering a 10-year loan repayment schedule. AAD was accounted for as an advance until the tenure of the loan. Subsequent to repayment of the loan, AAD was transferred to income on a pro-rata basis for the remaining useful life of the asset, the useful life of the asset governed by CERC regulations. AAD has been done away with in the tariff block 2009-2014 and depreciation rate have been reworked. Due to change in these tariff norms and the depreciation rates w.e.f. 01.04.2010, the outstanding AAD has been taken to transmission income after 12 years from the date of commercial operation. (Refer Schedule 3 & accounting policy no.13.1.4.2.)

Current Liabilities
Your company’s current liabilities as at 31st March, 2011 were ` 7113.81 crore. The current liabilities include sundry creditors, advances from customers, security deposits, retention money withheld by us and other liabilities. Current liabilities were 6.82% lower at March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010. The decrease is mainly due to liabilities to some of the beneficiaries on account of UI dues which have been accounted for in earlier year have now been transferred to PoSoCo, subsidiary of PowERgRID. Sundry Creditors during the year increased by about 28.75% due to increase in liabilities for Capital expenditure, Retention money and advances for Consultancy Contracts. These fluctuations are also due to the commissioning of particular projects at different times of the year in different fiscal years. when projects are commissioned, the liabilities relating to them are capitalized. If commissioning occurs in the early part of a fiscal year, the related liabilities are usually paid before the end of the fiscal year. In fiscal years when current liabilities are higher, there tends to be more projects commissioned toward the end of the fiscal year, whose related liabilities have not been paid by the end of the fiscal year. variations in the amounts of advances received under consultancy contracts also result in current liability fluctuations.

ConserVation of enerGY
energy conservation measures taken and on hand: It has been the endeavour of PowERgRID to make all out efforts for conservation of energy in all its projects - right from the planning stage, to the execution stage and throughout the o&M period. Before finalizing the transmission schemes, various alternatives/ technologies for power transfer are examined and one of the major criteria for selection of transmission system/ technology is lower losses. In fact, PowERgRID has adopted higher voltage levels like 765kv AC, +500kv HvDC, +800kv HvDC and 1200kv AC in its transmission systems for bulk power transfer across various regions which result in lower losses in the system. At design stage of the transmission system, optimization of various parameters is done so that losses in the transmission system are optimized. The conductors are selected after detailed optimization studies which consider reduction of line losses as one of the primary criteria. The bus bar materials and the clamps and connectors are chosen meeting stringent international requirements so that losses are optimized. During evaluation of transformer & shunt reactor packages, equipment with minimum losses is given weightage. In case of HvDC system also, the selection of parameters of filter components, Thyristor valves, Converter Transformer etc. is done in such a way that overall losses are minimized even under worst condition of system operating parameters. Further, in case of transmission hardware, the material with lower losses is specified. Parameters and types of various other equipments are also chosen in a manner that the losses are optimized. Thus, energy conservation measures are taken by PowERgRID at every step so as to develop an efficient and low-loss transmission network. additional investment and proposals, if any, being implemented for reduction of consumption of energy: As stated above, PowERgRID undertakes energy conservation measures by means of reduction of losses in its transmission schemes right from planning to execution stage. 1 & 2 It has been PowERgRID’s endeavour to pursue the research and development efforts in the field of new technologies in transmission system to remain at par with international standards. Also, realizing the need for conservation of Right-of-way and future requirement of development of high capacity transmission system to meet the future power requirement, PowERgRID is actively pursuing seamless integration of new and efficient technologies in Indian power grid to create environment-friendly transmission system. PowERgRID has been according special emphasis on adoption of new technologies available around the globe for improving the quality of power supply, reduction of losses, optimum utilization of the available transmission assets, conservation of environment and optimizing upon the cost of delivered power. The company is working in collaboration with International/National research institutions, academic institutions and manufacturers, and is thus enhancing its in-house capabilities for design and engineering of state-of-the-art transmission systems. Specific Areas in which R&D has been carried out by the company and benefits derived thereby are given below:

1. For development of 1200kv UHvAC Super grid, 1200 Kv UHvAC test station is being established at PowERgRID substation at Bina, MP with joint efforts of PowERgRID, Indian Equipment Manufacturers and CPRI. This will facilitate the Indian Equipment Manufacturers to test their 1200 kv class equipment being developed by them. Successful testing will lead to indigenization of 1200 kv class equipment resulting in reduction in project costs. High Capacity, +800kv, 6000 Mw HvDC multi terminal system for long distance power transfer over 2000 km. from NER/ER to NR. Re-conductoring of existing 400kv D/c Purnea-Siliguri line with high temperature endurance conductor to enhance the capacity of the transmission corridor by about two times. Development of in-house foundation and tower designs for use in on-going transmission line projects. Development of 4 more additional Indigenous vendors for 400kv Composite Insulators Design of Highest River crossing tower across Haldia (Height being 245 meters). For efficient grid management, continuous upgradation of the load dispatch centres through technologies like Intelligent grid comprising wide area monitoring, adoptive islanding, voltage Security Assessment, Dynamic Security Assessment. Several existing Substations in different Regions are being augmented for remote operation from nearby Substations so as to reduce the operation cost. Development of gIS in association with Indian manufacturers Measurement of synchro phasors for wide area monitoring and protection of National grid Indigenous Development of SF6 gas filled Current Transformer with BHEL. Implementation of Controlled Switching schemes of circuit breakers for 400kv transmission lines. Engineering Data Integration on gIS Platform. Collection of lightning data for assessment of lightning activity using lightning detection system. Lightning sensors shall be installed in the line in North Eastern Region. Lightning detection system shall detect lightning activities as well as intensity of lightning in the transmission lines or in the vicinity of lines. The data will be used in failure analysis and selection of transmission line parameters & planning Pollution mapping of Northern Region is being initiated along with CPRI to facilitate selection of appropriate type of the insulator to minimize the probability of occurrence of pollution flashover in lines Development of Indigenous vendors for 765kv Transformers, Reactors, Circuit Breaker, Current Transformer and wave Trap For route selection, length optimisation and estimation of BoQ for transmission lines, PowERgRID has employed modern Survey techniques. Substation Automation with IEC 61850 protocol is being adopted for all new Substations of PowERgRID. This would result in savings in operational cost and increased operational and maintenance efficiency. As a step towards National grid, 765kv AC and +500kv HvDC technology has been implemented in our country. Now, 765kv AC D/c, +800kv HvDC and 1200kv UHvAC technologies are being implemented for bulk power transfer across the country. For maximum utilization of existing infrastructure, application of Series compensation including TCSC has been adopted on EHv lines. In special areas, compact towers like pole towers, delta configuration towers and narrow based towers which reduce the space occupied by the tower base, are being used. Also tall towers and multi-circuit towers are being used for conservation of scarce right-of-way. Use of metallic return in HvDC system has been adopted. Special insulators like polymer composite insulators have been adopted in transmission lines in polluted areas. High temperature conductors like INvAR have been adopted for increasing the transfer capacity of transmission corridors. gIS technology at 400kv and 765kv level has been adopted in substations where space constraints exist. Multi-level beams have been used in gIS and AIS substations with multi-ckt. lines to optimize line corridor areas near substation on line transformer monitoring techniques for monitoring of critical parameters of power transformers.

ConserVation of LanD anD enVironmentaL ConCerns
For the ground return mode of operation of HvDC Bipolar Transmission system, electrode stations are being used up to now, which require approx. 150 acre of land (75 acre for each terminal of Bipolar system) at electrode site. The land for these electrode stations have to be selected keeping in view that there are no metallic buried objects i.e. metallic oil and gas pipe line, metallic pipes, railway line, telephone lines using metallic wires, electrical operated water pump sets etc within a radius of about 8 to 10 km from the centre of the proposed site of the earth electrode station. Since the inverter Terminal is generally located near the load centres, the cost of land acquisition is very high. Further, the electrode line of the HvDC Terminal also requires its right of way which creates the constraint in land usage. Even after taking full care in land selection for locating earth electrode station, there is still a big element of uncertainty about the proper functionality of the earth electrode station and may result into undesirable surface currents leading to unacceptably high step and touch potential around the electrode site and it has been reported in the ground return operation of a number of HvDC system all over the world. Major future HvDC link are proposed to evacuate bulk power from Chhattisgarh area. Because of geographical location and the deep soil resistivity profile of the area, the performance of HvDC monopolar ground current operation might be a cause of concern. Selecting suitable land for electrode station in this area fulfilling the technical requirements of high ground Return Currents in monopolar operation of HvDC shall be difficult. For future +800 Kv / +600 Kv projects, the usage of third return conductor on the same tower carrying the line conductor, instead of having a ground electrode as return path has been adopted. Apart from eliminating the element of uncertainty about the proper functionality of the earth electrode station, the usage of third conductor as a return path will result in conservation of land required for conventional electrode station. It will avoid a separate electrode line and corresponding right of way related to the electrode line resulting in further land conservation. In place of conventional AIS substations, most of the EHvAC substations are being established as gIS which have about 25% land requirement, thus resulting in land conservation. For protecting the environment, double circuit and multi-circuit high transmission towers are being used in forest areas, which have higher power intensity over the same corridor, thus optimising right-of-way and resulting in reduced tree cutting. Also, use of D/c lines in place of two no. S/c lines even at 765kv level has been adopted to conserve right-of-way.

11. Information in respect of cost plus consultancy contracts, considering the same as consultancy business in view of Accounting Standard (AS)-7 (Revised 2002) “Construction Contracts ”. (` in crore) Particulars Year ended Year ended 31.03.2011 31.03.2010 i) The amount of revenue recognised on cost plus consultancy contract works 212.03 204.95 ii) The methods used to determine the contract revenue recognised in the period: as Per Policy As Per Policy 15% of total consultancy fees upto award stage to executing agencies (out of which 10% upto issue of notices inviting tenders), 85% with progress of work including supplies (Progress of work is taken as certified by engineer in charge). iii) Cumulative amount of costs incurred on construction contracts 9510.18 7128.44 iv) Cumulative amount of advance received from customers 11078.81 8505.61 v) Amount of retention money with customers 49.58 41.76 vi) gross amount due from customers for contract works as an asset 15.38 14.53 vii) gross amount due to customers for contract works as a liability 1845.65 1084.25 12. a) The company has been providing for depreciation at the rates notified for the purpose of recovery of tariff, by CERC. MoP has issued tariff policy which provides that rates of depreciation notified by CERC would be applicable for the purpose of tariff as well as accounting. In accordance with the Tariff Policy, CERC has notified norms for the block period 2009-14 which provides for specified depreciation rates in first 12 years and thereafter amortisation of residual value over the residual life. Accordingly, depreciation on the transmission assets for the year has been provided as per rates and methodology notified under CERC Regulations. b) Depreciation charge for the year is lower by `64.82 crore (previous year `50.69 crore) as compared to the depreciation as per rates provided in the Schedule XIv of the Companies Act, 1956.

13. Effects due to changes in accounting policies during the year
a) In view of an opinion of the expert advisory committee (EAC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, capital expenditure on assets not owned by the company, which was hitherto amortized over a period of four years, is now charged off to revenue as and when incurred. The unamortized balance as on 01/04/2010 under Fixed Assets and CwIP Schedule has been written off as prior period expenditure. This has resulted in decrease in profit by `3.56 crore (including prior period impact of `4.22 crore) with corresponding decrease in CwIP/Fixed Asset. The matter has been referred to EAC for reconsideration. b) Leasehold land, which was hitherto depreciated over the tenure of the lease, is now depreciated in 25 years or tenure of the lease whichever is less in accordance with the rate and methodology specified in CERC (Terms & Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009 with retrospective effect from 01/04/2009. This has resulted in decrease in profit by `5.21 Crore (including prior period impact of `2.10 Crore). c) Liabilities for price variation/ exchange rate variation in case of contracts which were hitherto accounted for on acceptance/receipt of claims are now being accounted for on estimated basis as per terms of the contracts. The above change has resulted in increase in liability by `191.26 Crore with corresponding increase in CwIP/Fixed Assets. The above has also resulted in decrease in Profit by `10.49 crore. d) Liquidated damages / warranty claims which were hitherto being accounted for on receipt / certainty of receipt, are now recognized when no significant uncertainty as to measurability and collectability exists. The above has resulted in Decrease in liability by `59.70 crore with corresponding decrease in CwIP/Fixed Assets. The above has also resulted in decrease in Profit by `2.98 Crore. e) CERC Tariff Regulations 2009 for block period 2009-14 provide that tariff for additional capital expenditure incurred after the date of commercial operation shall be allowed based on the projected expenditure. In view of the above, Transmission income in respect of additional capitalization, which was hitherto accounted for on the basis of specific order by the CERC, is now being accounted for on accrual basis based on actual expenditure incurred from year to year after date of commercial operation. This has resulted in increase in transmission income amounting to `57.17 crore (including `17.47 crore for financial year 2009-10). f) The expenditure on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which was, hitherto, incurred / appropriated out of profit to the extent of 0.75% of net profit of the preceding financial year, is now being incurred / appropriated to the extent of 1.00% of such profit. This has resulted in additional expenditure/appropriation of `5.10 crore for the year. g) Surcharge, which was, hitherto, accounted for on receipt / certainty of receipt, is now being accounted for when no

91

notes on aCCoUnts (Contd...)
significant uncertainty as to measurability and collectability exists. The above change has resulted in increase in profit due to accounting of additional surcharge of `5.14 crore for the year.

14. In accordance with the CERC Tariff Regulations, 2009
a) The Company has billed and recognized transmission income as per tariff orders issued by CERC applicable for the block period 2009-14. b) where tariff has not been approved under block period 2009-14, in respect of assets commissioned upto 31.03.2009, the Company has billed transmission charges as approved by CERC for the block period 2004-09 as applicable as on 31.03.2009 and recognized revenue as per norms for the block period 2009-14. c) where tariff has not been approved by CERC under block period 2009-14 in respect of assets commissioned after 01/04/2009, the Company has recognized revenue of `1207.39 crore based on Tariff Norms 2009-14 and the same is yet to be billed pending issuance of tariff orders by CERC for which petitions have been filed by the Company.

14. effects due to changes in accounting policies during the year
a) In view of an opinion of the expert advisory committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, capital expenditure on assets not owned by the company, which was hitherto amortized over a period of four years, is now charged off to revenue as and when incurred. The unamortized balance as on 01/04/2010 under Fixed Assets and CwIP Schedule has been written off as prior period expenditure. This has resulted in decrease in profit by `3.56 crore (including prior period impact of `4.22 crore) with corresponding decrease in CwIP/Fixed Asset. The matter has been referred to EAC for reconsideration. b) Leasehold land, which was hitherto depreciated over the tenure of the lease, is now depreciated in 25 years or tenure of the lease whichever is less in accordance with the rate and methodology specified in CERC (Terms & Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009 with retrospective effect from 01/04/2009. This has resulted in decrease in profit by ` 5.14 Crore (including prior period impact of `2.10 Crore). c) Liabilities for price variation/ exchange rate variation in case of contracts which were hitherto accounted for on acceptance/receipt of claims are now being accounted for on estimated basis as per terms of the contracts. The above change has resulted in increase in liability by `191.26 Crore with corresponding decrease in CwIP/Fixed Assets. The above has also resulted in decrease in Profit by `10.49 crore. d) Liquidated damages / warranty claims which were hitherto being accounted for on certainity are now recognized when no significant uncertainty as to measurability and collectability exists. The above has resulted in Decrease in liability by `59.70 crore with corresponding decrease in CwIP/Fixed Assets. The above has also resulted in decrease in Profit by `2.98 Crore. e) The expenditure on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which was, hitherto, incurred / appropriated out of profit to the extent of 0.75% of net profit of the preceding financial year, is now being incurred / appropriated to the extent of 1.00%. This has resulted in additional expenditure/appropriation of `5.10 crore for the year. f) Surcharge, which was, hitherto, accounted for on receipt / certainty of receipt, is now being accounted for when no significant uncertainty as to measurability and collectability exists. The above change has resulted in increase in profit due to accounting of additional surcharge of `5.14 crore for the year.

15. in accordance with the CerC tariff regulations 2009
a) The Company has billed and recognized transmission income as approved by CERC for the block period 2009-14. b) where tariff has not been approved under block period 2009-14, in respect of assets commissioned upto 31.03.2009, the Company has billed transmission charges as approved by CERC for the block period 2004-09 as applicable as on 31.03.2009 and recognized revenue as per norms for the block period 2009-14. c) where tariff has not been approved by CERC under block period 2009-14 in respect of assets commissioned after 01/04/2009, the Company has recognized revenue of `1207.39 crore based on Tariff Norms 2009-14 and the same is yet to be billed as the CERC regulations does not provide for the same. However, petitions for these assets have been filed. d) Pending certification of monthly transmission system availability by the Regional Power Committee (RPC) of some of the regions, transmission incentive of `16.14 Crore has been recognized provisionally based on latest month’s availability. e) CERC Tariff Regulations 2009 for block period 2009-14 provide that tariff for additional capital expenditure incurred after the date of commercial operation shall be allowed based on the projected expenditure. In view of the above, Transmission income on account of additional capitalization, which was hitherto accounted for on the basis of specific order by the CERC, is now being accounted for on accrual basis based on actual expenditure incurred from year to year after date of commercial operation. This has resulted in increase in transmission income amounting to `57.17 crore (including `17.47 crore for financial year 2009-10). f) Transmission income of `172.79 crore (previous year `180.77 crore) has been recognised as income of the year on issuance of final tariff orders by CERC in respect of provisional recognition of revenue in earlier years. g) The company has allowed to State Power Utilities additional rebate against payment received through cheques and RTgS over and above the permissible rebate for effecting better and timely recovery of dues. h) The Sundry debtors - other Debts in schedule – 11 includes an amount of `2152.71 crore (previous year `1582.32 Crore) on account of unbilled revenue in view of recognition of revenue as per CERC Tariff Norms applicable for 2009-14.
