Reliance Power Limited
Letter to Shareowners

“We are not just about scale and size we are also about the pursuit of excellence, the integrity of our values and the quality of our services.”
- Anil Dhirubhai Ambani

My dear fellow shareowners, It gives me great pleasure to share with you the highlights of our Company’s performance in the last one year. Our Company has achieved significant milestones over the last twelve months. During this time, we operationalized our first greenfield generation project, made significant strides in securing fuel sources for other projects, and put construction activities for a number of others in a fast- track mode. The first phase of 1200 MW Rosa project located at Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, commenced generation of power in December 2009, and has since started the sale of power to the consumers. This is a significant milestone for Reliance Power, marking its transition from a project development Company to a Company with operating assets. Following the start of our commercial operations, it was thought appropriate that Reliance Power should bring the power generation portfolio of the Group under one roof, by acquiring 433 MW of power generation assets from Reliance Infrastructure Limited. The assets comprise three gas-based power projects, a 220 MW plant located at Samalkot in Andhra Pradesh, a 165 MW plant situated at Kochi in Kerala and a 48 MW plant located at Zuarinagar in Goa. All three plants have significant potential for brown field capacity expansion. With this acquisition and the commissioning of Phase I Rosa Power Project, our Company will have over 1,000 MW operating capacity in its portfolio. The speedy and efficient execution of our projects remains a key priority. We have made exceptional progress in this regard, particularly with respect to financing. The Company has recently achieved the financial closure for its 4,000 MW Krishnapatnam Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) in Andhra Pradesh with a total project cost of Rs. 17,500 crore. This development was preceded by the financial closure of the Sasan UMPP, the most ambitious debt raising initiative ever in the history of corporate India. The over Rs 14,550 crore (US$ 3 bn) raised for Sasan UMPP is to date the largest debt financing transaction in India on a project finance basis. In fact, during the last financial year, the Company achieved financial closure for 4,860 MW of generation capacity and raised over Rs 18,600 (approximately US$ 4 bn) of debt for 3 projects viz the Sasan UMPP, Rosa Phase 2 and Butibori Power Projects. Following the financial closure of the Krishnapatnam UMPP, nearly one-third or 10,000 MW of the Company’s portfolio of power projects have successfully achieved financial closure. We are also in the process of achieving financial closure for our 3,960 MW Chitrangi Power Project and loan sanctions have already been obtained for the majority of the debt requirement. We believe that the timely availability and the cost of fuel are two of the biggest challenges facing the power generation sector. Hence, we have taken considerable care to secure fuel supplies both for our domestic and imported coal-based projects. We have also tried to minimize our dependence on external parties for supplies. With the transfer of Tilaiya UMPP and its coal mines to the Company, Reliance Power has today over two billion tonnes of coal reserves, making it the largest private sector coal mining Company in India in terms of reserves. The Company has also purchased three coal mines in Indonesia to support its imported coal-based project at Krishnapatnam. On the project development front, all the projects of the Company are at various stages of construction and development. Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts have been awarded for coal-based generation capacity at Sasan, Krishnapatnam, Rosa, Butibori and Chitrangi and construction is proceeding apace. With regard to gas based power projects, we are working, in addition to Dadri and Shahapur, on a number of other locations, keeping in mind factors like source of gas and logistics. The Board of Directors of Reliance Power and Reliance Natural Resources Limited (RNRL) approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement for the two companies in a 4:1 share swap deal valued at Rs 50,000 crore (US$ 11 bn). This Arrangement will help Reliance Power derive substantial benefits from RNRL’s Gas Supply Master

Letter to Shareowners Agreement (GSMA) with Reliance Industries Limited. The Arrangement will also help the Company in procuring gas from the 4 Coal Bed Methane (CBM) blocks already owned by RNRL. The Company also stands to benefit through RNRL’s coal supply logistics and shipping business. Having come closer to securing a gas supply contract, we are now poised to start construction activities for our gas-based projects. Our hydroelectric portfolio is at varying stages of development and detailed project reports are currently being prepared for each one of them. Meanwhile, site activities have already commenced at Siyom and Tato as the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for these projects have already been prepared. Performance Review A snapshot of the Company’s consolidated financial performance during FY09-10 is provided below for your reference are:
?

We are working on designing our power generation plants in a manner that optimizes the utilization of land, thereby bringing down the aggregate land requirement and minimizing the potential for disruption and displacement of local communities. We are also adopting modern technologies related to power generation, that require much less water for plant operations, thereby helping conserve a precious natural resource and contributing to a greener and healthier environment. As part of our efforts to reduce the release of greenhouse gases into the environment, we are adopting state-ofthe-art super critical technology for our UMPPs and other thermal power generation plants, minimizing the environmental impact of these projects. We are acutely mindful of our responsibilities in the development of areas where our projects are located, particularly since many of these regions have yet to bear the fruits of development. It will always be our mission to contribute towards improving the quality of life of the communities living around our project sites. Indeed, we believe that our success in executing large-scale generation projects is critically dependent on following a participatory development-oriented approach that strengthens our bond with the local population. Our Commitment Our Company takes pride in being a part of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, which ranks among India’s top business houses. This association would continue to shape our vision and values. At Reliance Power, we believe in maximizing shareholders’ value, and in benchmarking ourselves to the best global standards. We make every effort to ensure that our projects are based on efficient and environment friendly technologies. This strategy gives us a long-term competitive edge over our other peers in the sector. The last financial year was a watershed year for us, marking our evolution as a Company with generating assets. The year ahead will be, if anything, even more challenging and rewarding. As ever, I seek your whole-hearted support and encouragement in this exciting journey.

Total income of Rs 843.38 crore as compared to Rs 360.38 crore in the previous year Net profit of Rs 683.89 crore as compared to Rs 244.51 crore in the previous year Earnings per share (EPS) of Rs 2.85 as compared to Rs 1.02 in the previous year.

Corporate Governance In keeping with our Group ethos, we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and would continue to work in a transparent and professional manner to create value for all our stakeholders. The trust and welfare of our 3.5 million shareholders, the largest shareholder family in the world, is of singular importance to us and we are committed to preserve, protect and enhance it. Social Commitments We are a socially responsible organization that is wedded to the idea of sustainable development through conservation of natural resources, and the economic and social development, and empowerment of underprivileged communities. In order to achieve these objectives, we have made significant outlays in healthcare, education and livelihood opportunities for local communities.

Economic outlook If the recent economic indicators are any indication, global economic recovery process is well on track. Unprecedented government intervention and exceptionally large interest rate cuts by central banks in advanced and emerging economies have contributed a lot to pull the global economy out of the recession. India has weathered the economic crisis quite well and emerged from the global slowdown much faster than the developed economies. As the economic pace is picking up, India has staged a comeback from the lows of last year and industrial growth has seen a significant growth over the last one year. Financial markets posted strong gains fueled by huge amount of capital inflows. Swift fiscal and monetary stimulus, an improving global environment, the return of investor risk appetite and large capital inflows combined to help the economy grow at a government-estimated 7.2 per cent in FY10, up from 6.7 per cent in FY09. The Indian economy is expected to continue to grow strongly in the long-term and there will be increased focus on infrastructure projects. Due to strong liquidity in the market, infrastructure companies will have easier access to capital in both capital as well as credit markets. Considering the strong signals indicating economic revival in the form of economic indicators like Index of Industrial Production (IIP), the Indian government is gradually winding back expansionary fiscal and monetary policies. Although trade flows have yet to return to levels seen before the global financial crisis, higher private consumption and investment should underpin growth over the next two years. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) indicated in its flagship annual economic publication, “Asian Development Outlook 2010” that India’s economic rebound from the global financial crisis will gain pace in 2010, and the economy will grow by 8.2 per cent in 2010. The ADB estimated growth at 8.7 per cent in 2011, slightly below the Indian government’s forecast of nine per cent - the level last seen before the advent of recent global economic recession. There is no doubt that India is capable of achieving the targeted growth rate. To sustain long-term growth it is essential to reform agriculture and address infrastructure bottlenecks. Indian Power Sector The existence and development of adequate infrastructure is essential for sustained growth of the Indian economy. Infrastructure investment in India is on the rise, but growth may be constrained without further improvements. The government is committed to accelerating the development of infrastructure sector as indicated by its plans to raise infrastructure spending during the Eleventh 5 Year Plan period (FY07-12). Investment in infrastructure sector is likely to increase to around 8 per cent of GDP in the Eleventh Plan period compared to 4.6 per cent of GDP in the Tenth Plan period. The government spending is planned across segments with power sector likely to see the maximum spending of the total outlay. The government has identified the power sector as a key sector of focus to promote sustained industrial growth.

Reliance Power Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis The power sector requires huge capital outlay, and it is not possible for the government to fund the growth of the sector on its own. It is essential that private sector participation be promoted if the demand supply gap in power sector has to be mitigated. Consequently, the government has undertaken multiple reforms to make the power sector more attractive to the private sector. The government has embarked on an aggressive mission – “Power for All by 2012” – and the private sector has a key role in achieving the objectives stated in the mission. Involvement of the private sector not only reduces funding constraints of the sector, but also has other advantages like improvement in competitiveness of projects, more efficient execution, lower cost of generation, optimisation of capacity utilization, optimisation of fuel mix and technology upgradation. There have enactment opened up sector on a been a slew of regulatory changes after the of the Electricity Act in 2003 which have the power generation sector and driven the high growth trajectory. India had been traditionally dependent on thermal power as a source of power generation, which constitutes about 64 per cent of current capacity. The balance is contributed by hydroelectric power (23 per cent), nuclear (3 per cent), and renewable energy (9 per cent). Fuel wise generation capacity (in MW) as on March 31, 2010 Fuel Installed Capacity (MW) 84,198.38 17,055.85 1,199.75 102,453.98 36,863.40 4,560.00 15,521.11 159,398.49 Share of installed capacity 52.8% 10.7% 0.8% 64.3% 23.1% 2.9% 9.7% 100.0%

With over half of the capacity added last year coming from coal based projects and capacity under construction biased towards coal based projects, India is increasingly expected to be reliant on coal for achieving its target capacity addition plans. As a result, shortage of coal remains one of the most critical risks for power generation in India. Generation capacity addition plans The Government of India had set an ambitious target of adding 78,700 MW in the Eleventh 5 Year Plan period (FY07-12). A total of 27,070 MW (34 per cent of target)

Reliance Power Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis has been added in the first 3 out of 5 years. It is pertinent to note that the capacity addition in the Tenth 5 Year Plan period (FY02-07) was 21.1 GW against a target of 41.1 GW (50 per cent achievement). Although it is highly likely that India will miss the target capacity addition in the current 5 Year Plan (FY07-12), the expected capacity addition is a significant improvement from that of the last Plan period of FY02-07. In the Mid-term review of the Eleventh 5 Year Plan, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has revised its target for FY07-12 downwards and identified capacity addition of 74,964 MW (62,374 MW with high degree of certainty and another 12,590 MW on a best effort basis) by the end of the Eleventh 5 Year Plan. In the sector wise revised targets of the Mid-term review of CEA, the share of the private sector in the total capacity addition targets has gone up from 19 per cent (15,043 MW out of 78,700 MW) to 36 per cent (26,727 MW out of 74,964 MW). On an aggregate basis also, private sector capacity addition targets in FY07-12 has increased by over 75 per cent (from 15,043 MW planned at the beginning of Eleventh Plan to 26,717 MW in the Midterm Review). The private sector has played a significant role in the augmentation of generation capacity in India in the last 3 years. Private sector’s share of operational capacity has increased from 12.9 per cent in March 2007 to 18.2 per cent in March 2010. If the whole capacity of 74,964 MW envisaged in the Mid-term Review becomes operational, the share of the private sector by FY12 end is expected to go up to 21.1 per cent.

The private sector accounted for only 12 per cent of the total power generated, but its share in the total pie is expected to increase significantly, since more than one-third of capacity addition in XIth Plan is expected to be contributed by the private sector. Coal based capacity contributed 70 per cent of the total power generated although it constituted only 53 per cent of the generation capacity. This also highlights the importance of coal based projects for meeting the base load capacity requirements. Fuel wise power generation performance in FY200910

Outlook of power generation sector
?

Demand and supply outlook In order to sustain a GDP growth rate of over 8 per cent, it is essential that the power sector also grows at a similar rate. The power sector has witnessed acute shortage of electricity over the last few years. The energy deficit in FY09-10 was 10.1 per cent and the peak power deficit was 13.3 per cent indicating a huge gap between demand and supply of electricity. The gap between demand and supply has not decreased in the last few years, leading to persistent power shortages. The following table highlights the deficit situation in the last few years

Power generation The total power generation in India during FY09-10 was 771.2 billion units (6.6 per cent higher than FY08-09) and was 2.3 per cent lower than the target estimates set for FY09-10.

Reliance Power Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis Power deficit scenario - all India in the period FY05-10 (in %) putting more pressure on the sector. In the period FY0210, while the GDP has been growing at an average of over 8 per cent, the power generation capacity has been growing at a CAGR of 6.4 per cent (from 132,329 MW in FY07 to 159,398 MW in FY10). Regulatory developments in the power sector The power sector has been revamped since the enactment of the Electricity Act in 2003. There have been multiple reforms aimed at increasing participation and introducing competition in the sector. The government is keen to provide a level playing field for all participants and has hence introduced regulations providing opportunities in domains earlier not available to the private sector and more clarity on various aspects. The government is also taking a long term view of how things ought to be shaped and has introduced regulations which will help in the long and sustainable growth of the sector. Some key regulatory changes have been introduced in the last one year which are being discussed below

In recent years, India’s energy demand has been increasing very fast due to the population growth and economic development. The increase in installed power generation capacity has however not kept pace with the increase in demand for power thus leading to power shortages. Despite the overall increase in energy demand, per capita energy consumption in India, at 704 kwh, is still very low compared to other developing countries.

Regulation on Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) announced: The REC regulation provides an opportunity for the Renewable Energy (RE) generators either to sell the renewable energy at preferential tariff fixed by the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERC) or to sell the electricity generation and environmental attributes associated with RE generation separately, which can be exchanged in the form of REC. The floor price for non-solar and solar is fixed at Rs 1.45 /kwh and Rs 12.28 /kwh respectively while the forbearance price for non-solar and solar is Rs 3.78 /kwh and Rs 17.23 /kwh respectively. Considering the scope of getting high returns, the new regulation is expected to stimulate extensive capacity addition in renewable energy.

According to the 17th Electric Power Survey, India requires 968.7 billion units of electricity in FY11-12 while the current generation in FY09-10 is 771.2 billion units. This implies that power generation has to increase at a CAGR of minimum 12 per cent just to meet the demand, almost double the growth rate of 6.6 per cent witnessed in FY09-10. Long term demand and supply outlook As per the Ministry of Power, to deliver a sustained GDP growth of 8 per cent till FY31-32, India’s generation capacity has to grow to 962,210 MW, more than 6 times the current generation capacity. This implies a CAGR of 8.6 per cent over 22 years and an average capacity addition of over 36,000 MW every year, almost 4 times the capacity addition rate in the current 5 Year Plan till date (27,070 MW added in 3 years). The GDP growth of India in the last few years has been significantly higher than the power sector growth thus

CERC notifies Power Market Regulations: Provisions of these regulations would govern transactions in various contracts related to electricity. These regulations shall apply to various types of inter-state contracts related to electricity whether these contracts are transacted directly, through electricity traders, on power exchanges or on other exchanges. The regulations are expected to boost the implementation of open access of power in the country and result in an efficient price discovery.

The Government has targeted commissioning of 78,700 MW in the Eleventh 5 Year Plan to meet its objectives. But the inability of the country to meet its target generation capacity addition has resulted in a perennial state of power shortage. It is expected that the target for the current Plan period also cannot be achieved and it implies that the demand-supply gap may continue for the next few years. With the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) currently growing at rate faster than the growth of generation capacity addition, the deficit is likely to worsen unless the capacity addition rate picks up. This has provided a two pronged opportunity to power project developers, one, to sell power through long term power purchase agreements (PPA) at attractive and sustainable returns and two, to sell power through short term contracts (bilateral contracts) or spot markets (unscheduled interchange, power exchanges) at significantly high premium to the long term tariffs till there is a critical power deficit in India. Gas based projects account for around 10 per cent of the total generation capacity of India, which is much lower than the world average. The current gas production in India is 165 mmscmd out of which 68 mmscmd is utilized by the power generation sector. The total supply is expected to go up to 237 mmscmd by FY11 end and 253 mmscmd by FY12 end. The bulk of the additional production has to be absorbed by the fertilizer and power generation sector, the two biggest consumers of natural gas. This will lead to increased availability of gas for power generation and at reasonable prices expected due to a jump in the quantum of supply, gas is expected to increase its share of the total power generation pie by the next few years. Considering the ever increasing electricity demand and inadequate availability of fuel there is a dire need to tap various new sources of energy including renewable energy. Further, growing awareness with regard to benefits of clean energy also prompted renewed focus on renewable energy by all the stakeholders in the energy ecosystem.

CERC has released the Draft Regulations on Transmission Pricing: The new draft regulation is a big improvisation over the existing methodology of sharing of transmission charges and losses. The new approach is distance and direction sensitive and addresses various lacunae in the existing model.

Opportunities and threats In the last decade, the government has taken various initiatives to increase public as well as private investments in the sector to enhance generation capacity and eliminate power deficit. The Parliament enacted the Electricity Act, 2003 and the Government has followed up on the reform agenda with various other policy measures to make the power generation sector attractive for investors. The Electricity Act, 2003, requires the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) to lay out the National Electricity Plan once in every five years and revise the same from time to time in accordance with the National Electricity Policy. This Plan serves as a roadmap for accelerated growth of the power sector. Now 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is allowed in generation, transmission and distribution segments. Incentives are given to the sector through waiver of duties on capital equipments under the Mega Power Policy. These policy initiatives have resulted in building up investor confidence in the power sector and have created an ideal environment for increased participation by the private sector. The Government is working towards –“Power for All by 2012”– and aiming for the following objectives:

Reliance Power Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis India has one of the highest potentials for the effective use of renewable energy. India has a potential of 48,500 MW in wind energy and 25,000 MW in solar energy. Besides this, there is an additional potential of 148,700 MW of hydroelectric capacity, out of which only 25 per cent has become operational till now. The renewable energy capacity has gone up from 7,761 MW in March 2007 to 15,521 MW in March 2010 (growth of over 100 per cent in 3 years). With coal shortage becoming a reality in the last couple of years, it is imperative for India to have a focused strategy for renewable energy. The Government has already started acting on this agenda. Some of the significant steps taken recently are

With increasing focus on environment related issues, power projects, employing clean and environmentfriendly technology (hydroelectric and other renewable energy sources) can also earn carbon credits, which are traded extensively in the international market; thus providing an additional source of revenue. Key risks and concerns Power sector is a highly capital intensive business with long gestation periods before commencement of revenue streams (construction periods of 4-5 years) and an even longer operating period (over 25 years). Since most of the projects have such a long time frame, there are some inherent risks in both the internal and external environment. We monitor the external environment and manage our internal environment to mitigate the concerns on a continuous basis. Some of the key concerns being faced by the sector currently are 1. Coal supply position More than 50 per cent of India’s generation capacity is coal based. According to the Integrated Energy Policy, by FY31-32, India requires 2,040 million

Realizing this, the Government has recently announced some policy changes and initiatives in coal mining. Currently coal blocks are awarded to private sector companies through a Screening Committee called the Standing Linkage Committee. The Government is planning to introduce amendments in the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 so that the allocation process by the Screening Committee can be replaced by a transparent auction process. The Government has also announced plans to set up a Coal regulatory Board to monitor pricing and regulations in the coal mining sector. 2.

A comparison of distribution losses with other developing countries shows that we have a long way to go before we reach global standards or even the standards in emerging market economies. Distribution losses in developing countries in 2008 – a comparison

Any delay in any of the above milestones poses significant risk for the successful completion of projects. During the construction phase, ensuring that all the supply and erection contracts are placed on time and within the cost estimates is a critical challenge and thereafter ensuring that all the vendors and contractors perform their responsibilities as envisaged is a key risk. During the operations phase, operating and maintaining the power plant efficiently and ensuring that operational costs and performance are maintained within or better than the norms is the major challenge. One unit of Rosa Stage I has been commissioned in FY10 well on time and is the first project of Reliance Power to become operational. We have installed a robust mechanism to identify and take preventive steps for key operational risks. In case of hydroelectric projects, there is a risk of insufficient flows, thereby resulting in poor generation. This is addressed at the design stage by incorporating a conservative approach in ‘Power Potential Studies’ and during the operation phase, the risk is mitigated partly by the regulatory mechanism. Internal control systems and their adequacy The Company has put in place internal control systems and processes commensurate to its size and scale of operations. An Enterprise Resource Planning System developed by SAP has been implemented in the Company. The system has control processes designed to take care of various control and audit requirements. In addition, the Company has Internal Audit function, which oversees the implementation and adherence to various systems and processes and preparation of Financial Statements as per Generally Accepted Principles and Practices. Further, the internal audit group also appoints reputed external audit firms to undertake the exercise of conduct of Internal Audit at various locations. The report of the Internal Auditors is placed in the Audit Committee Meetings.

The high losses result in increasing annual losses of State Electricity Boards (SEB). The losses are mainly due to the high level of subsidies, power theft and inadequate metering. This also results in cross subsidization of tariffs to make the SEBs financially viable. Rising power tariffs will result in higher losses for SEBs which is a major cause for concern in the sector. 3. Execution risk Power projects are highly capital intensive and have a long construction as well as operational phase thus exposing them to various macroeconomic as well as project specific risks. The life of a power project can be divided into three different stages: developmental stage, construction stage and operational stage; with each stage having its own set of critical risk elements Development stage: From the conceptualization of a project to the start of construction activities, the key risks that need to be monitored are:

Project operations The first unit (300 MW) of Rosa Stage I has been commissioned in the financial year 2009-10 on time. This is the first operational capacity of Reliance Power. The unit was declared commercially operational from 12th March 2010. Reliance Power has installed world class Operations and Maintenance (O&M) systems in Rosa. All the O&M manuals, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and IT enabled generation management systems are already installed. A SAP for management of plant assets is installed which ensures that all activities including plant maintenance, material management, employees, finance, etc. are managed and monitored on real time basis. Reliance Power has installed a Centralized Monitoring Center for optimization of resources and manpower. Latest reliability centered maintenance techniques have been employed in Rosa which gives the project significant benefits in terms of diagnostics and preventive maintenance and reduction of outages. The O&M systems installed in Rosa will be replicated in other projects of Reliance Power as and when they are commissioned and the centralized monitoring center will manage all the projects with an overall optimization perspective.

They include seven coal-fired projects (18,880 MW) to be fueled by reserves from captive mines and supplies from India and abroad, two gasfired projects (10,280 MW) to be fueled primarily by reserves from the Krishna Godavari Basin (the “KG Basin”) off the east coast of India, and seven hydroelectric projects (4,620 MW), six of them in Arunachal Pradesh and one in Uttarakhand. Reliance Power has been successful in bagging three Ultra Mega Power Projects (3,960 MW each at Sasan in Madhya Pradesh and Tilaiya in Jharkhand and 4,000MW at Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh). The Company intends to sell the power generated by these projects under a combination of long-term and short-term PPAs to state-owned and private distribution companies and industrial consumers. All the projects are in various stages of operation, construction and development. A brief on the developments on each project is shared. 1. Rosa Phase 1, a 600 MW coal-based power project in Uttar Pradesh Rosa Power Supply Company Limited (RPSCL) was incorporated on September 1, 1994. It was a subsidiary of Aditya Birla Power Company Limited (ABPCL). It was transferred to Reliance Power subsequent to a share purchase agreement between ABPCL and Reliance Power Ltd on November 1, 2006, and is now a fully owned subsidiary of Reliance Power. RPSCL is developing 1,200 MW of coal based generation capacity at Rosa village in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh in two stages of 600 MW each. Both the stages comprise two units of 300 MW each and employ subcritical Pulverized Coal Combustion (PCC) technology. Rosa Phase 1 is the first project of the Company to become operational. It has received considerable support from the Government; with it also being designated a “priority project”. The first unit of 300 MW became commercially operational on 12th March 2010. The second unit is expected to be commissioned before the PPA committed schedule of June 2010. The sale of the entire power to be generated from the project is secured through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Uttar Pradesh Power Company Limited (UPPCL) on a cost plus tariff basis based on Tariff Guidelines set by the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC). The power plant is already connected to the state electricity grid and is supplying power to Uttar Pradesh.

14 Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Clean Development Mechanism is one of the three mechanisms under Kyoto Protocol to reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHG). CDM encourages developers, in the developing countries, to adopt environmental friendly technologies and fuels so that the GHG emissions can be reduced. Reduced GHG emissions from the environment will enable those developers to earn carbon credits, also known as Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). These CERs are sold for a price to the compliance buyers in Annexure 1 countries (entities in developed countries) that have to reduce their GHG emissions. The Company is in the process of applying for CDM registration for various super-critical technology based power generation projects including Sasan, Krishnapatnam, Tilaiya Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs). These projects are eligible to earn Carbon credits as they will be commissioned with higher efficiency, environment friendly super-critical technology. Besides the super-critical projects, gas based generation projects and the hydroelectric power projects are also eligible to receive carbon credits. The Company is working towards registering the UMPPs with CDM-Executive Board. Consultants and validators for these two projects were appointed and CDM related activities are progressing according to the expected schedule. All the three UMPPs have received necessary host country clearance from the National CDM Authority, Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India. Global stakeholder consultation, an important milestone for CDM registration, of Sasan UMPP was concluded. Validation of Sasan UMPP is concluded and the project is submitted for registration with CDM Executive Board. Both Krishnapatnam and Tilaiya UMPPs have commenced global stakeholder consultation process. Validators for both the projects have been identified. Initial documentation work for gas based power generation projects and Hydro Power projects is currently underway. The sale proceeds from the carbon credits emission market shall act as a new revenue stream for the Company. Health, safety and environment The Company attaches utmost importance to safety standards at all installations of the Company. Necessary steps are regularly undertaken to ensure the safety of employees and equipment. Both external and internal

Reliance Power Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis safety audits are regularly conducted. Mock drills are conducted to gauge emergency and disaster management preparedness.

Schedules annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements
Schedule 10 - notes forming part of the Financial Statements 1) Significant Accounting Policies: The financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India, provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act) and comply in material aspects with the accounting standards notified under Section 211 (3C) of the Act, read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. (b) Revenue Recognition: Service income represents income from support services recognised as per the terms of the service agreements entered into with the respective parties. Profit on sale/redemption of investments is accounted on sale/redemption of such investments. Income from mutual fund scheme having fixed maturity plans is accounted on declaration of dividend or on maturity of such investments. (c) Foreign Currency Transactions: (i) Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transactions. Gains and losses, if any, as at the year-end in respect of monetary assets and liabilities (other than long term), are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. (a) Basis of Accounting:

(ii) Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are stated at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. (d) Fixed Assets and Capital Work-in-progress: (i) The gross block of fixed assets is stated at cost of acquisition or construction, including any cost attributable in bringing the assets to their working condition for their intended use.

(ii) All project related expenditure viz, civil works, machinery under erection, construction and erection materials, pre-operative expenditure incidental/attributable to construction of project, borrowing cost incurred prior to the date of commercial operation and trial run expenditure are shown under Capital Work-in-Progress. These expenses are net of recoveries and income (net of tax) from surplus funds arising out of project specific borrowings. (e) Depreciation/Amortisation: Fixed assets are depreciated under the straight line method as per the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Software expenses are amortised over a period of three years. (f) investments: Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary, if any, in the value of such investments. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and fair value. (g) Retirement Benefits: Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as provident fund, superannuation etc. are charged to the Profit and Loss account/Capital Work-in-Progress, as applicable, as incurred. The Company also provides for retirement benefits in the form of gratuity and leave encashment. Such defined benefits are charged to the Profit and Loss account/Capital Work-in-Progress, as applicable, based on actuarial valuations, as at the balance sheet date, made by independent actuaries. (h) Borrowing Costs: Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue. (i) Accounting for Taxes on income: Provision for current tax is made after taking into consideration benefits admissible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax resulting from “timing differences” between book and taxable profit is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date. The deferred tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that the assets will be realised in future. However in respect of unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward loss, the deferred tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a virtual certainty that the assets will be realised in future. (j) Provisions: Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation. (k) impairment of Assets: The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.

The State of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2004 has acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in the year 2005. While the State is in the process of acquiring further 400 acres of land for the project, a few land owners filed writ petitions before the Allahabad High Court challenging the acquisition process under Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (“the Act”). The Allahabad High Court has disposed of the writ petitions upholding the Section 4 notification and directed to comply with certain procedures relating to land acquisition that were left out earlier by State Government. The Company has filed appeal against the Allahabad High Court order which is now pending before Supreme Court. The Dadri project has already received all statutory clearances from the Central and Uttar Pradesh government authorities including Environmental Clearance for the full capacity of 7,480 MW. The Project will use gas sourced from Krishna–Godavari basin (“KG Basin”) being developed by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL). Subsequent to balance sheet date, the Honorable Supreme Court has pronounced its judgement in the case between RIL and Reliance Natural Resources Limited (RNRL), wherein both the parties have been directed to re-negotiate the terms of gas supply within a stipulated period of time. The critical site activities like construction of approach road and site office have been completed. Other activities will be commenced as soon as the gas supply arrangement is firmed up and settlement of land acquisition issues. Expenditure incurred during the construction and incidental to setting up the project are carried forward as “Capital Work-in-Progress”. These expenses would be capitalised as fixed assets on completion of the project and commencement of commercial operations. Considering the current status and future plans with regard to the project, the Company does not envisage provision for impairment as at the balance sheet date. 59,976,428,638 917,419,070 30,000,000 60,923,847,708 Rupees

Auditor’s Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements To the Board of Directors of Reliance Power Limited 1. We have audited the attached consolidated Balance Sheet of Reliance Power Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as the “Group” (Refer Note 1(b) II on Schedule 12 to the attached consolidated financial statements) as at March 31, 2010, the related consolidated Profit and Loss Account and the consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto, which we have signed under reference to this report. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Company’s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 3. Price Waterhouse did not audit the financial statements and other financial information of eight subsidiaries included in these consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 26,632,790,572 and net assets of Rs. 26,601,980,273 as at March 31, 2010, total revenue of Rs. 4,209,614,037, net profit before tax of Rs. 4,086,576,299 and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 107,912 for the year then ended that have been audited by Chaturvedi & Shah on whose reports Price Waterhouse has placed reliance for the purpose of this report. 4. Price Waterhouse and Chaturvedi & Shah did not audit the financial statements and other financial information of one subsidiary included in these consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 1,878 and net liabilities of Rs. 1,177,072 as at March 31, 2010, total revenue of Rs. 217,187, net loss of Rs. 822,737 and net cash outflows amounting to Rs. 25,653 for the year then ended. These financial statements and other financial information have been incorporated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group based on the un-audited financial statements as provided by the management of the component, as audited financial statements of the component as at and for the year ended March 31, 2010 are not available.

5. We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s Management in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard 21- Consolidated Financial Statements notified under sub-section 3C of Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956. 6. Based on our audit, consideration of reports of one of the joint auditors and certification by management on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the components of the Group as referred to above, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, in our opinion, the attached consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: a) in the case of the consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2010;

b) in the case of the consolidated Profit and Loss Account, of the profit of the Group for the year ended on that date; and c) in the case of the consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date.

Revenue Recognition: In case of 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 tariff rates are yet to be approved/agreed, provisional rates are adopted based on the principals enunciated in PPA and UPERC regulations. Profit on sale/redemption of investments is accounted on sale/redemption of such investments. Income from mutual fund scheme having fixed maturity plans is accounted on declaration of dividend or on maturity of such investments.

d)

Foreign Currency Transactions: (i) Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transactions. Gains and losses, if any, at the year-end in respect of short term monetary items are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

(ii) In respect of long term foreign currency monetary items, the Group has availed the option available in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2009 i.e. to adjust the cost of the asset towards the exchange differences arising on reporting of long term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded, in so far as they relate to depreciable capital asset and depreciating the same over the balance life of the asset. With respect to exchange differences arising on other long term foreign currency monetary items, the same is accumulated in “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” and amortised over the balance period of such long term monetary item but not beyond March 31, 2011. (iii) Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are stated at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. e) Fixed Assets and Capital Work-in-progress: (i) The gross block of Fixed Assets is stated at cost of acquisition or construction, including any cost attributable to bringing the assets to their working condition for their intended use.

(ii) All project related expenditure viz, civil works, machinery under erection, construction and erection materials, pre-operative expenditure incidental/attributable to construction of project, borrowing cost incurred prior to the date of commencement of commercial operation and trial run expenditure are shown under Capital Work-in-Progress. These expenses are net of recoveries and income (net of tax) from surplus funds arising out of project specific borrowings. (iii) Income earned from Sale of Energy (known as Infirm Power) prior to start of commercial operations at RPSCL is recognised as per the terms of PPA with UPPCL and netted off from pre-operative expenditure. As at the year end, the billed and unbilled revenue due to be received has been disclosed as debtors in Schedule 8.

f) Depreciation / Amortisation: Fixed assets are depreciated under the straight line method as per the rates and in the manner prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Leasehold land is amortised over the lease period. Software expenses are amortised over a period of three years. g) investments: Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary, if any, in the value of such investments. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and fair value. h) inventories: Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. In case of fuel, stores and spares “cost” means weighted average cost. i) Retirement Benefits: Contribution to defined contribution scheme such as provident fund, superannuation fund, etc. are charged to the Profit and Loss Account/Capital Work-in-Progress, as applicable, as incurred. The Group also provides for retirement benefits in the form of gratuity and leave encashment. Such defined benefits are charged to the Profit and Loss Account/ Capital Work-in-Progress, as applicable based on the actuarial valuations, as at the balance sheet date, made by independent actuaries. j) Borrowing Costs: Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue. k) Accounting for Taxes on income: Provision for current tax is made after taking into consideration benefits admissible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax resulting from “timing differences” between book and taxable profit is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date. The deferred tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that the assets will be realised in future. However, in respect of unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward loss, the deferred tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a virtual certainty that the assets will be realised in future. l) Provisions: The Group recognises provisions when there is a present obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation. m) impairment of Assets: The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account. 2. a) Contingent Liabilities: (i) Counter Guarantees given to banks against guarantees issued by the banks on behalf of the group aggregate to Rs. 12,000,000,000 (previous year Rs. 6,000,000,000)

(ii) In case of SPL, claims not acknowledged as debts Rs 5,120,000 (Previous year Rs. 5,120,000). (iii) In case of CAPL, Government of Andhra Pradesh has levied a penalty of Rs.12,892,039 at the rate of 50% on account of non payment of conversion fee of Rs. 25,784,078 towards conversion of agriculture land to non-agricultural land at site. CAPL has filed an appeal with the Collectorate and District Magistrate, Nellore District, for waiver of the above amount. b) Capital Commitments: Estimated amount of contracts remaining unexecuted on capital account and not provided for Rs. 424,563,476,531 (previous year Rs. 325,310,845,935).

The Company is currently developing a 7,480 MW gas-fired power project to be located at the Dhirubhai Ambani Energy City in Dehra village, Dadri, Uttar Pradesh. The State of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2004 has acquired 2,100 acres of land and conveyed the same to the Company in the year 2005. While the State is in the process of acquiring further 400 acres of land for the project, a few land owners filed writ petitions before the Allahabad High Court challenging the acquisition process under Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (“the Act”). The Allahabad High Court has disposed of the writ petitions upholding the Section 4 notification and directed to comply with certain procedures relating to land acquisition that were left out earlier by State Government. The Company has filed appeal against the Allahabad High Court order which is now pending before Supreme Court. The Dadri project has already received all statutory clearances from the Central and Uttar Pradesh government authorities including Environmental Clearance for the full capacity of 7,480 MW. The Project will use gas sourced from Krishna–Godavari basin (“KG Basin”) being developed by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL). Subsequent to balance sheet date, the Honorable Supreme Court has pronounced its judgement in the case between RIL and Reliance Natural Resources Limited (RNRL), where in both the parties have been directed to re-negotiate the terms of gas supply within a stipulated period of time. The critical site activities like construction of approach road and site office have been completed. Other activities will be commenced as soon as the gas supply arrangement is firmed up and on settlement of land acquisition issues. Expenditure
