also engaged in business of trading of coal from the year 31 March

1. Revenue from A&N Administration
a) The Company''s revenue from sale of electricity is based on the Power
Purchase agreement (PPA) entered into the Andaman and Nicobar (A & N)
Administration. The PPA is for a period of 15 years and contains a set
of pre-defined formulae for calculation of the revenue to be billed on
a monthly basis. Such billings as per terms of the PPA include a fixed
charge payment, a variable charge payment, incentive payment, foreign
exchange adjustment and change-in-law adjustment.
b) The Company, for the purpose of determining the fixed charge monthly
billings, invoices the A & N Administration based on the capital cost
as envisaged in the PPA. Pending final confirmation of actual capital
expenditure, no adjustment is made to the revenue. Such adjustments, if
any will be made in the period in which the amount becomes determinable
and is confirmed by the A & N Administration.
c) Revenues for the year ended 31 March 2011 include an amount of Rs.
59,494,972 (Previous year: Rs. 47,835,455) billed by the company as
variable charge payment under the PPA, which has been rejected/
withheld by the A & N Administration on the grounds of the technical
interpretation of the formulae for computation of such charges. The
Company also has receivables amounting to Rs. 85,904,780 as at 31 March
2011 (Previous year: Rs. 118,640,315) on account of such rejections/
withheld. Further, the Company has accrued interest on such unpaid
invoices amounting to Rs. 43,721,965 for the year ended 31 March 2011
(Previous year: Rs. 28,503,384). Total Interest accrued on such
disagreements and included in the total receivables as at 31 March 2011
amounts to Rs. 127,574,329 (Previous year: Rs. 83,852,364). The Company
has during the year ended 31 March 2011 received an amount of Rs.
92,230,508 towards such receivables as mentioned above.
d) The Company believes that the amounts billed including interest
thereon are recoverable based on the interpretation that can be
inferred from the formulae contained in the PPA.
2. Deferred taxes
The Company had started claiming deduction under Section 80-IA of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 from the year ended 31March 2011. Based on the

generation and sale of electricity.
· Coal trading: This division of the Company is engaged in the trading
of coal.
Since the business operations of the Company are primarily concentrated

segment.
Segment policies
The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of the
financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure
in individual segments.
Revenue and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised
based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment.
Certain expenses are not specifically allocable to individual segments
and pertain to the entity as a whole and are disclosed as unallocated
expenses.
Assets and liabilities are either specifically identifiable with
individual segments or have been allocated to segment on a systematic
basis. Assets that pertain to the entity as a whole such as income tax
balances have been disclosed as unallocated assets. Liabilities other
than loan balances and income tax balances have been identified against
each segment or have been allocated on a reasonable basis.
5. Discontinuing operations
The Company''s Board of Directors at their meeting held on 29 October
2009 approved a definitive plan wherein, its coal trading business will
be transferred to a separate legal entity to enable to focus on the
core business of power generation, subject to the receipt of all
regulatory and other approvals. The execution of the above plan is in
process and expected to be completed by October 2011. In accordance
with AS 24 (Discontinuing operations), as the initial event has
occurred during the year ended 31 March 2010, the coal trading business
(representing coal trading segment) would therefore qualify as a
discontinuing operation under the above accounting standard.
