 Consolidated gross revenue grew by 25.41 % from Rs. 5,123.42 Crore to
 Rs. 6,425.04 Crore and net revenue by 26.44 % from Rs. 4,566.51 Crore
 to Rs. 5,773.78 Crore.  Airport, Energy, Highways, EPC and other

 (34.02 %), Rs. 390.25 Crore (6.07 %), Rs. 515.26 Crore (8.02 %) and Rs.
 312.17 Crore (4.86 %) respectively to the gross revenue.
 
 EBITDA has grown by 14.01 % as compared to the previous year from Rs.
 1,364.31 Crore to Rs. 1,555.49 Crore. PAT has gone down from Rs. 225.34
 Crore to a negative PAT of Rs. (1,046.67) Crore mainly due to provision
 for diminution of investment, higher depreciation and interest charges.
 Most of the projects are in their initial phase of operations wherein
 the capacity costs tend to be higher and revenue optimization is yet to
 accrue.
 
 The negative PAT for the year was primarily on account of exceptional,
 one time and non-recurring loss of Rs. 938.91 Crore from the divestment
 of InterGen N.V. Of this loss, Rs.366 Crore was due to the reversal of
 incomes (success fee, interest on debentures invested for the
 acquisition of InterGen N.V., asset management fee) earlier accounted.

 The gross revenue of your Company on standalone basis has gone up by
 329.50 % from Rs. 169.36 Crore to Rs. 727.40 Crore primarily due to
 increased revenue from EPC segment of Rs. 439.01 Crore. The increase in
 operating and administrative expenditure from Rs. 95.09 Crore to Rs.
 487.84 Crore is mainly due to operating expenses of construction
 division. Increase in interest expenditure from Rs. 69.11 Crore to
 Rs.174.14 Crore is on account of interest on borrowings made during the
 year to meet the increased requirement of funds for investments.

 subsidiary, GMR Aviation Private Limited (GAPL) has a young fleet
 comprising of short-haul and long-haul planes and helicopters with
 experienced crew and operational staff. The fleet includes Falcon and
 Hawker aircraft and Bell helicopter. During the year, GAPL has procured
 one Bell 412 twin engine helicopter and the same is being actively
 utilized for external charters.
 
 InterGen N.V.
 
 Your Company, through its step-down subsidiary, GMR Energy Global
 Limited (GEGL), had entered into necessary arrangements to acquire 50%
 economic stake in InterGen N.V. In this regard it had subscribed to the
 Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) issued for this purpose, by a
 fellow subsidiary, GMR Holding (Malta) Limited (GHML), a step down
 subsidiary of GMR Holdings Private Limited, the Company''s Holding
 Company. The said fellow subsidiary, GHML, had acquired the 50% stake
 in InterGen N.V. through its step down subsidiary GMR Infrastructure
 (Malta) Limited (GIML) for USD 1,135 million through a mix of external
 borrowings of USD 1,107 million (under the guarantees extended by your
 Company) and the balance was funded through CCDs as above. Your Company
 has extended further funding support to GHML by subscribing to
 additional CCDs to meet the interest, transaction / carrying costs.
 
 Due to the changed economic environment in overseas markets and the
 group''s intention of renewed focus in developing large energy assets
 within India for which opportunities are opening up due to sustained
 economic growth of India fuelling huge demand for power, during the
 year ended March 31, 2011, GIML was advised to sell the investment in
 InterGen N.V. Accordingly, GIML entered into an agreement with Overseas
 International Inc. Limited, an associate of China Huaneng Group to sell
 the investment in InterGen N.V. for USD 1,232 million.
 
 On consummation of the transaction during April 2011, after due
 regulatory approvals, GHML has repaid the loans availed from the banks
 in full but could repay the CCDs in part only after meeting the
 interest, transaction / carrying costs. Thus GEGL has recorded a one
 time loss of Rs. 938.91 Crore, which is disclosed as an exceptional
 item in the consolidated financial results.
 
 Though the divestment of InterGen N.V. has resulted in a one time and
 non-recurring loss of Rs. 938.91 Crore, it has released an equity
 capital of Rs.958 Crore that would enable the Company to reinforce its
 focus and deploy resources on more profitable Assets.

 During the year, your Company revised the risk management framework in

 of the process.

 regulations. Hazardous wastes are being disposed through Pollution
 Control Board authorized agencies. Continuous Ambient Monitoring
 systems have been set up at appropriate locations in and around the
 plants and the Environmental performance indicators like Stack
 emissions, ambient air quality, etc are maintained well within the

 and ISO 9001. At Chennai plant, fully integrated Sewage Water Treatment
 Plant (STP) has been set up including Reverse Osmosis (RO) process for
 treating 10% of Chennai plant''s total sewage saving fresh water intake
 of 5400 m3 per day, which is equivalent to the water use by 100000
 people. The treated STP water is used for cooling operations and green
 belt development. Waste Heat Recovery Boilers generate steam for use in
 indirect heating of fuel storage tanks and pipelines. Solar energy is
 used to lighten the boundary fence.
 
 At Vemagiri Plant, the Gas Turbine uses the advanced Dry Low NOx (DLN
 2.0  ) burner system to reduce NOx emissions at source. Waste heat from
 Gas Turbine is used for power production in Steam Turbine through Heat
 Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). Reuse of Steam Condensate and HRSG is
 designed for zero make up.
 
 At GHIAL, special environmental friendly design features have been
 incorporated for power savings by using natural sun light. The Lighting
 per square foot in the passenger terminal block uses only 0.9 watts of
 energy as against the minimum of 1.3 watts prescribed by the American
 Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.

 aircraft noise.
 
 DIAL has undertaken the following pollution abatement steps during the
 reporting period:

 equipment to achieve zero water discharge plan. The entire treated
 water is being utilized for air-condition cooling i.e. Heating
 Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and horticulture activities;
 
 - Advanced stage of issuance of Certified Emission Reduction (CER) for
 energy reduction measure taken at T3 terminal by United Nations
