CATEGORIZATION OF UTILITIES
Your Company classifies State Power Utilities, its principal borrowers,
into A , A, B and C categories. The categorization is based on the
pre-determined parameters including operational & financial performance
of the utilities. The categorization enables PFC to determine credit
exposure limits and pricing of loans to the state power utilities. As

QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL REPORT OF STATE POWER UTILITIES

basis. The report contains key operational and financial performance
parameters, reforms status, the status of implementation of Electricity
Act 2003, areas of concern and conditions for improvement of

The Company is constantly working towards exploring new opportunities
for expanding its business in areas like financing Fuel Sources
Development & Distribution, Equipment manufacturing, Nuclear Power
projects, Hydel projects in Bhutan & Nepal etc.
Your company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NPCIL
on October 28, 2010 to offer financial assistance as well as other
services to NPCIL for its nuclear power capacity addition in the next
20 years. In consequence, NPCIL has requested for financial assistance

Apart from the above, your company is also exploring the possibility of
extending services in the areas of financing of Hydel projects being
developed in Nepal with linkage to India and Hydel projects being
developed in Bhutan by Indian entities under Indo Bhutan bilateral
treaty.
22.0 ACQUISITION ADVISORY SERVICES
The Company believes that institutional and regulatory reforms in the
Indian power sector and increased investor interest will lead to
consolidation in the power sector in order to ensure synergies and
economies of scale. In addition, the company believes that the
increasing supply-demand gap in the power sector has driven the
procurement of power from the private sector through competitive
bidding. Further, high demand for efficiency and economies in
generation are expected to lower the cost of tariff. Open access and
power trading are likely to increase competition in the sector in the
future.
The company has therefore set up an Acquisition Advisory Services unit
to focus on acquisition advisory services for power sector projects,
including the identification of target projects and potential
acquisitions and consolidation opportunities, and also provide techno-
commercial appraisal of target projects.
23.0 RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM (RE&CDM)
Renewable energy (RE) provides a number of primary and secondary benefi
ts which are economic, social, environmental or technical in nature.
Some of the key benefits related with renewable energy generation are
increased power/energy availability, enhanced access to power in
rural/remote areas, increased employment generation, enhanced energy
security and environmental benefits. Therefore a good mix of these
energy sources in the overall energy mix would enhance sustainable
development at the state, national and global level.
Today, in the International Renewable Energy market, India is fast
becoming one of the world''s most attractive markets for Renewable
Energy (RE) investments. India''s rise has been due to the effective
policy and regulatory support for investment in renewable energy
technologies (RETs).
The central government has just launched the Jawaharlal Nehru Solar
Mission and the Electricity Regulatory Commissions (CERC and SERCs) are
promoting renewable energy generation through preferential tariffs. One
of the main drivers in the future for enhancing RE generation is likely
to be the mandatory renewable energy purchase obligations for utilities
as mandated by the Electricity Act 2003 and declared by the state
commissions. Several states have also issued the Renewable Purchase
Obligations (RPO).
To tap the Renewable Energy business in state and private sector, your
company has created a Strategic Business Unit for handling renewable
energy portfolio since August 2008 for giving thrust on Renewable
Energy and CDM. During the financial year 2010-11, loans amounting to
Rs.974 crores were sanctioned to support a capacity of 202 MW for solar
and biomass generation projects in state and private sector.
Your Company is also facilitating SPUs for Clean Development Mechanism
(CDM) benefits for R&M of old Thermal & Hydro projects as per mandate
from MoP. Four projects in the States of Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh,
Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra have been identified for registration
with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The Project Design Documents (PDD) for 4 projects has been prepared
through the consultant appointed by Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) has accorded host country
approval for Koradi Thermal Power Project (Maharashtra), Umiam HEP
(Meghalaya) and Giri HEP (Himachal Pradesh).
In order to promote green (renewable and non- conventional) sources of
energy, a separate subsidiary company namely PFC Green Energy Limited
has been incorporated during the year.
24.0 PROMOTION OF POWER TRADING THROUGH POWER EXCHANGE
In the financial year 2008-09, the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission had granted its permission to set up power exchanges in the
country. As on date two power exchanges, namely, Power Exchange India
Ltd. (PXIL) and Indian Energy Exchange Ltd. (IEX) are in operation.
These power exchanges have a nationwide presence in the form of
electronic exchange for trading in power. The trading through power
exchanges have certainly lent an impetus for power sector development
since it acts as an open and transparent mechanism for buyers and
sellers and provides investment signal to the prospective investors.
Further with the presence of these exchanges, the available resources
shall be used optimally.
In order to promote short term trading through power exchange, your
company had promoted National Power Exchange Ltd (NPEX), jointly with
NTPC, NHPC and TCS during 2008-09. Your company has contributed Rs.2.19
crore (being 16.66% of paid up equity upto March 31, 2011) towards
equity contribution. This exchange is yet to start its operation.
Your company has also contributed Rs.1.75 crore (being 4.37% of paid up
equity upto March 31, 2011) towards equity contribution in Power
Exchange India Ltd., promoted by NSE and NCDEX.
25.0 EQUITY FINANCING
Equity investment business is generally considered as a logical
extension of debt business. Your Company is endeavoring to make a mark
in the area of equity investment so as to capitalize on its vast domain
experience, attained during its over 20 years of operations in power
sector debt financing. PFC aims to leverage its financial strength,
large debt providing capability and power sector expertise to invest in
equity of attractive power projects. Over a period of time, your
company proposes to build an equity portfolio of power assets which
could provide consistent gains in the form of dividend and/or capital
appreciation.
