Gujarat Wind Park Limited, another WOS of the Company.
- Amalgamation of STSL and SISL with the Company after giving effect to
the above-mentioned de-merger and consequent transfer of their
respective division.
b. During the year, the Scheme has been sanctioned by the Hon''ble High
Court at Gujarat vide Order dated August 10,2011and Hon''ble High Court
of Judicature at BombayvideOrderdatedSeptember02,2011.
Accordingly, all the assets and liabilities of Power Generation
Division of STSL and Project Execution Division of SISL are considered
to be transferred and vested with Suzlon Engitech Limited and Suzlon
Gujarat Wind Park Limited (''Resulting Companies'') respectively,
Resulting Companies have issued equity shares to the shareholder of STS
Land SISL and thereafter both the companies, viz., STSL and SISL
(''Transferor Companies'') have been amalgamated with the Company
(''Transferee Company'') on appointed date i.e. with effect from April

of Merger) as prescribed by Accounting Standard 14 - Accounting for
Amalgamations. Accordingly, all the assets, liabilities and reserves
of STS Land SISL (after the de-merger of Power Generation Division of

in the name of the Transferor Companies i.e. STS Land SISL
respectively.
