XIV. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result
of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be
required to settle such an obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding
the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present
obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value
of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered
from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will
be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
The Company gives a warranty between 25 to 30 years on solar modules designed, manufactured and
supplied by the Company. In order to meet the expected outflow of resources against future warranty
claims, the Company makes a provision for warranty. This provision for warranty represents the expected
future outflow of resources against claims for performance shortfall on account of manufacturing
deficiencies over the assured warranty life.
XV. Cash and Cash Equivalent
Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible in an known
amount of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent consists of cash and short¬
term deposits, as defined above.
XVI. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit and loss after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year is adjusted for treasury shares, bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue
to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit or loss after tax as adjusted for dividend,
interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive
potential equity shares by weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic
earning per share and weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of dilutive potential equity shares.
C. Significant judgements and estimates:
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section B above, the Company is required
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year,
or in the year of the revision and future year, if the revision affects current and future year.
(i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment at least once a year. Such lives
are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets, and also their likely economic
lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency, the operating conditions
of the asset, anticipated technological changes, historical trend of plant load factor, historical planned and
scheduled maintenance. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and amortisation
expected in future periods. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are
different from the actual outcomes and could cause a material adjustment to the carrying amount of
property, plant and equipment. For the relative size of the Company''s property, plant and equipment refer
note 3(a).
(ii) Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future
outflow of funds resulting from past events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition
requires application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances which may be subject to change.
Refer note 18 and 24.
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against
the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are
not recognized. Refer note 38
(iii) Income Taxes
Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount
expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax
assets arising from unused tax credits, the management considers convincing evidence about availability
of sufficient taxable income against which such unused tax credits can be utilized. The amount of the
deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable
income changes in the future. Refer note 35.
(iv) Defined benefit plans
The cost of defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits are determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature,
a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are
reviewed at each reporting date.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Those mortality tables tend to
change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity
increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Refer note 37.
(v) Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less
costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at
arm''s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the
asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from the other assets or groups of assets
(cash generating units). The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not
include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments
that will enhance the asset''s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive
to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows
and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and
other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Company.
(vi) Expected credit loss
The measurement of expected credit loss on financial assets is based on the evaluation of collectability
and the management''s judgement considering external and internal sources of information. A
considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realization of the loans /
receivables having regard to, the past collection history of each party and ongoing dealings with these
parties, and assessment of their ability to pay the debt on designated dates.
D. Application of new and amended standards:
The company has adopted, with effect from April 1, 2024, the following new and revised standards and
interpretations. Their adoption has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in the financial
statements.
(i) MCA has issued amendments to IND AS 116 concerning sale and leaseback contracts. The
amendment specifies the requirements for a seller-lessee in measuring the lease liability arising
from a sale and leaseback transaction. It ensures that the seller-lessee does not recognize any
amount of the gain or loss related to the right of use it retains.
Reserves is created primarily on acquisition as per statutory requirement. This reserve is utilised in accordance with the specific provision of the
Companies Act, 2013.
The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in Securities Premium Reserve. This can be utilized in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. There is no movement in securities premium during the reporting period.
Retained earning represents the amount of accumulated earnings of the company, less any distribution to shareholder Movement in retained
earnings is as follows:
Note 37 : Employee Benefit Expenses
a) Defined contribution plan
The Companyâs defined contribution plan comprises of Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance Scheme and Labour Welfare Fund. The Company has recognised
expense of ? 12.88 lakhs (March 31,2024 : ? 0.50 Lakhs).
b) Defined benefit plan
The Company has the following defined benefit plans.
Gratuity: In accordance with Gratuity Act, 1972, the company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (âThe Gratuity Planâ) covering eligible employees.
The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement (subject to completion of five years of continuous employment), death,
incapacitation or termination of employment that are based on last drawn salary and tenure of employment. Liabilities with regard to the gratuity plan are determined by
actuarial valuation on the reporting date and the company makes contribution to the gratuity fund administered by life insurance companies under their respective group
gratuity schemes.
Note 40 :Segment Reporting
(i) Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (âCODMâ) of the Company. The
CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Finance Officer of the
Company. The Company operates only in one Business Segment i.e. âManufacturing & Trading of Solar Photovoltaic Modulesâ, hence does not have any reportable
Segments as per Ind AS 108 âOperating Segmentsâ.
(ii) The Company has carried out operations during the year and have revenue from operations in india of ? 32,390.62 lakhs ( March 31, 2024 : Nil). All non-current
assets of the Company are located in India.
(iii) Further, from external customers the Company has revenue of ? 29,163.93 Lakhs (March 31, 2024: ? Nil Lakhs) more than 10% of the total revenue from
operations.
Note 41 : Leases
Effective April 1,2019, the company has adopted Ind AS 116, Leases, using modified restrospective approach. On adoption of the new standard IND AS 116 resulted in
recognition of ''right of use'' assets and a lease liability. The cumulative effect of applying the standard, has been debited to retained earnings. The effect of this adoption is
insignificant on the profit before tax, profit for the period and earnings per share. Ind AS 116 will result in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an
increase in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.
Note 42 : Corporate social responsibility (CSR)
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company is required to spend 2% of the average net profits of the Company made during the three immediately
preceding financial years towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
During the year, the Company did not meet the criteria specified in sub-section (1) of Section 135 and accordingly, is not required to constitute a CSR Committee or
spend any amount on CSR activities as per sub-section (5) of Section 135 of the Act.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or
indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair
value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying
amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The fair value of the financial assets & liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties,other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The management assessed that fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade
payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these
instruments.
A wide range of risks may affect the Company''s business and operational / financial performance. The risks that could have significant
influence on the Company are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s Board of Directors reviews and sets out policies
for managing these risks and monitors suitable actions taken by management to minimise potential adverse effects of such risks on the
company''s operational and financial performance.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances.
To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current
economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk in case of
all the financial instruments covered below is restricted to their respective carrying amount.
Credit risk in respect of trade and other receivables is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and monitoring the
credit worthiness of customers to which the group grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business
environment in which the entity operates. The Group uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade
receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit ratings from credit
rating agencies, financial condition, ageing of accounts receivable and the group''s historical experience for customer.
The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of f 1,709.60 Lakhs as at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: f
504.23 Lakhs). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank with good credit ratings and financial institution counterparties with
good market standing.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025
Note 43 : Financial instruments - Fair values and risk management (continued)
B.iii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by
delivering cash or another financial asset.
Liquidity risk is managed by Company through effective fund management of the Companyâs short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity
management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and other borrowing facilities, by
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted.
B.iv. Market risk
Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk
comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
B.iv.a Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the group is Indian Rupee. Our
exposure are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars (USD) The Company business model incorporates assumptions on currency risks and ensures any
exposure is covered through the normal business operations. This intent has been achieved in all years presented. The Company has put in place a financial
risk management policy to identify the most effective and efficient ways of managing the currency risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The
Company is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest-bearing liabilities and assets. The Company manages its interest
rate risk by monitoring the movements in the market interest rates closely.
Company''s interest rate risk arises primarily from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company''s interest-bearing financial instruments is as
follows.
The Company invests its surplus funds in various Equity and debt instruments . These comprise of mainly liquid schemes of mutual funds (liquid
investments), Equity shares, Debentures and fixed deposits. This investments are susceptible to market price risk, mainly arising from changes in the
interest rates or market yields which may impact the return and value of such investments. However due to the very short tenor of the underlying portfolio
in the liquid schemes, these do not pose any significant price risk.
Note 44 : Capital Management
The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to its shareholders
Management monitors the return on capital as well as the debt equity ratio and make necessary adjustments in the capital structure for the development of
the business. The capital structure of the Company is based on management''s judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its
strategic and day to day needs. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at
the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a
current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.
Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a
separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.
Contingencies:
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is:
⢠a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company, or
⢠a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because :
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation; or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but disclosed unless the contingency is remote.
Contingent assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company.
Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. When
inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognized.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate
resources and assessing performance.
The Company is primarily engaged in manufacture of solar cells and modules. The Company''s Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM) is the Managing Director. He evaluates the Companyâs performance and allocates
resources based on analysis of various performance indicators by geographical areas only. Accordingly, there is
no operating segment or reportable segment as such.
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the reporting entity and it includes:
(a) A person or a close member of that personâs family if that person:
(i) has control or joint control over the reporting entity;
(ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting entity.
(b) An entity is related to the reporting entity if any of the following conditions apply:
(i) The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same Group.
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity.
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
(v) The entity has a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or
an entity related to the reporting entity.
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).
(vii) A person identified in (a) (i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key
management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
(viii) The entity, or any member of a Group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services
to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be
influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity including:
(a) that personâs children, spouse or domestic partner, brother, sister, father and mother;
(b) children of that personâs spouse or domestic partner; and
(c) dependants of that person or that personâs spouse or domestic partner.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and
controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or
otherwise) of that entity.
Related party transactions and outstanding balances disclosed in the financial statements are in accordance with
the above definition as per Ind AS 24.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short term
deposits/investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These exclude bank balances (including deposits) held as
margin money or security against borrowings, guarantees etc. being not readily available for use by the
Company.
For the purpose of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term
deposits and exclude items which are not available for general use as on the date of Balance Sheet, as defined
above, net of bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand where they form an integral part of an entity''s
cash management.
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing
activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method as set out in Ind AS 7
''Statement of Cash Flows'', adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
(i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non¬
cash nature;
(ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealised foreign currency gains and
losses, and
(iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
The Basic Earnings per equity share (''EPS'') is computed by dividing the net profit or loss after tax before other
comprehensive income for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Ordinary shares that will be issued upon the conversion of
a mandatorily convertible instrument are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share from the date
the contract is entered into. Contingently issuable shares are treated as outstanding and are included in the
calculation of basic earnings per share only from the date when all necessary conditions are satisfied (i.e. the
events have occurred).
Diluted earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit or loss before OCI attributable to
equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic
earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued
upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares (including options and warrants). The dilutive potential
equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later
date.
Contingently issuable potential ordinary shares (such as contingently issuable convertible instruments) are
included in the diluted earnings per share in accordance with Ind AS 33. The Optionally Convertible
Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares (OCCRPS) issued by the Company to Union Bank of India under
Debt Settlement Agreement where the Bank has a right to convert the preference shares into equity in the event
of default are in fact contingent convertible preference shares and the contingent settlement event is Event of
default by the Company. As the said event has not happened till the end of the reporting period, exercise or
conversion is not assumed for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share and accordingly potential
ordinary shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Anti-dilutive effects are
ignored.
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of
the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Where the events are
indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period, the amounts are not adjusted, but are disclosed if
those non-adjusting events are material.
An item of Income or expense which by its size, type or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve an
understanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and the same is disclosed in
the financial statements.

i) Background
The Company had set up a green field project for manufacturing Solar Photovoltaic cells with a capacity of 160 MW, comprising two lines of 80 MW each under Phase -I and is in the process of setting up an additional manufacturing facility Line -3 with a 200 MW capacity under Phase - II, at Plot No. 3C/1 Ecotech-II, Udyog Vihar Greater Noida in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The capacity of Phase-I has subsequently enhanced to 200Mw (100Mw each line). The lending banks (âLendersâ) had, at the request of the Company, sanctioned term loans, deferred payment guarantee facilities and working capital facilities on such terms and conditions as contained in various loan agreements / facility agreements entered into between the Company and the Lenders.
ii) Conditions that lead to restructuring
The Company witnessed significant downturn due to weak demand both globally as well as in the domestic market and incurred significant cash and operating losses. There was a mismatch between cost and selling prices that resulted in the stoppage of plant from September 2011, which severely impacted the cash flow position of the Company prompting the filing of a restructuring package of its loans that existed as on 1 July 2011 with the Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell (âCDR Cellâ). At the request of the Company and in consideration of its commitment to improve its operations, the application filed was referred to the Corporate Debt Restructuring Forum, a non-statutory voluntary mechanism set up under the aegis of the Reserve Bank of India (hereinafter referred to as the âCDRâ). Pursuant thereto, the CDR Empowered Group at their meeting held on 30 January 2012 approved a restructuring package in terms of which the loans as of 1 July 2011 were restructured and certain additional financial assistance was proposed to be extended to the Company that was set out in the Letter of Approval dated 7 March 2012 issued by Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell to the Lenders and the Company (hereinafter referred to as the âCDR Packageâ).

i.e. Indian Bank had not agreed to the CDR package and had not signed the Master Restructuring Agreement (MRA). The MRA was signed by the concerned bank on 5 July 2012. In connection with obtaining the necessary approvals for restructuring of existing loans, the promoters contributed funds in accordance with sanction letter. As a consequence, the Company received an unsecured loan from its promoters amounting to Rs. 950.00. During the year ended 31 March 2016, Rs.239.04 out of the above unsecured loan from promoters has been adjusted with excess remuneration paid for the year ended 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016. Also refer note 35.
During the financial year 2013-14, the Company received interest free unsecured loan from a party amounting to Rs. 250.00 towards meeting expenses and also to meet promoters contribution requirement under proposed CDR-2, to be converted into 2,5000,00 zero coupon redeemable non convertible non cumulative preference shares of face value of Rs 10 each after approval from shareholders. However during the previous year, after approval from shareholders the Company had, instead of preference shares, allotted 2,500,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each at par value.
iii) Principal terms of the Master restructuring Agreement (âMRAâ) in accordance with the CDR scheme.
a) Waivers of existing events of default and the consequential effect thereof:

d) Reset of Interest Rate:

e) Consequential effect of the CDR Scheme on the interest cost and the classification of the interest accrued on borrowings as loans
As explained in note 6 (iii) (a) above, the Lenders waived the obligation of the Company to pay any liquidated damages, default or penal interest / interest / further interest charged by the Lenders in excess of the concessional rates approved under the CDR package w.e.f 1 July 2011. Consequently, an interest credit received from the Lenders amounting to Rs 1,201.70 and the balance of interest accrued outstanding as at 31 March 2012 relating to various facilities amounting to Rs 3,502.00 was transferred to FITL.
f) Default in repayment of loan and interest

6. (f) of Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) in place of para 6.8 of FTP Further it has been noticed that: i) while submitting the APR of 2011-12 and 2012-13, the Company had erroneously considered the domestic purchase of Rs. 331.07 lakhs as imported purchase resulting thereby higher forex outflow ii) while submitting the APR of 2009-10, the Company had considered full year amortization of capital expenditure instead of calculating the same from the date of start of commercial production resulting into higher amortization of Rs.1,409.07 lakhs which was considered as forex outflow in that year.

1. DEBT RESTRUCTURING IN THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2012
i) Background
The Company had set up a green field project for manufacturing Solar
Photovoltaic cells with a capacity of 160 MW, comprising two lines of
80 MW each under Phase ÂI and are in the process of setting up an
additional manufacturing facility Line -3 with a 200 MW capacity under
Phase  II, at Plot No. 3C/1 Ecotech-II, Udyog Vihar Greater Noida in
the State of Uttar Pradesh. The lending banks ('Lenders') had, at the
request of the Company, sanctioned term loans, deferred payment
guarantee facilities and working capital facilities on such terms and
conditions as contained in various loan agreements / facility
agreements entered into between the Company and the Lenders.
ii) Conditions that lead to restructuring
The Company witnessed significant downturn due to weak demand both
globally as well as in the domestic market and incurred significant
cash and operating losses in the previous years. There was a mismatch
between cost and selling prices that resulted in the stoppage of plant
from September 2011, which severely impacted the cash flow position of
the Company prompting the filing of a restructuring package of its
loans that existed as on 1 July 2011 with the Corporate Debt
Restructuring Cell ('CDR Cell'). At the request of the Company and in
consideration of its commitment to improve its operations, the
application filed was referred to the Corporate Debt Restructuring
Forum, a non-statutory voluntary mechanism set up under the aegis of
the Reserve Bank of India (hereinafter referred to as the "CDR").
Pursuant thereto, the CDR Empowered Group at their meeting held on 30
January 2012 approved a restructuring package in terms of which the
loans as of 1 July 2011 were restructured and certain additional
financial assistance was proposed to be extended to the Company that

unsecured loan from a party amounting to Rs. 250.00 towards meeting
expenses for CDR-2 to be converted into 2,5000,00 zero coupon

In accordance with the CDR scheme the consortium of lenders had waived
the obligation of the Company to pay any liquidated damages, default or

b) Restructuring of the loans existed as at 1 July 2011:
- Each of the Lenders and Company agreed that the loans shall be
reconstituted as follows:
- Rupee Term Loans of Rs. 34,485.82 together with all interest,
charges, costs, expenses and any other amounts accrued was
reconstituted into Facility -A;
- Short Term Loan of Rs. 2,200.00 from Andhra Bank outstanding as on 1
July 2011 i.e. the CutÂoff date was rescheduled and converted into
"Priority Medium Term Loan" as Facility -B;
- Irregularity as on 31 March 2012 in Working Capital Limits comprising
cash credit, packing credit, buyer's credit facility, bill discounting
and irregularities due to anticipated devolvement of LCs was converted
into WCTL as Facility C;
- Interest accrued/ to be accrued on Secured term loans, Short term
loan and WCTL until 30 June 2013 to be funded by way of Funded Interest
Term Loan ("FITL") as Facility- D.
c) Sanction for additional funding
1. Project Loan from Union Bank of India
Union Bank of India ('UBI') sanctioned a Project Loan amounting to Rs.
27,500 (including Priority Term Loan of Rs. 4,700). The Project Loan by
UBI was sanctioned in the following manner:
a) The Company was sanctioned Rs. 22,800 Letter of Credit (LC) opened
in favour of M/s. Schmid Technology Systems GmbH ('Schmid') through
UBI, for a period of 35 months from the date of shipment out of the
project loan sanctioned. In accordance with the said arrangement, the
letter of credit shall be converted into Term Loan in February 2014.
Schmid discounted the said Letter of Credit with their bankers
(counterparty bank). UBI in consultation with the Company entered into
a deferred payment credit facility with the counterparty bank wherein,
a sum of Rs. 22,142.26 was paid by the counterparty bank to M/s. Schmid
towards imported capital goods until 31 March 2012.
UBI is paying the interest in relation to such financing to the
counterparty bank, which is being charged to the Company. In accordance
with the terms of the deferred payment facility, there is no obligation
to pay to Schmid as the same was discharged by the counterparty bank.
As a consequence, UBI has an obligation towards the counterparty bank
to repay the loan in accordance with the terms agreed at the end of the
Letter of credit term i.e. 35 months from the date of shipment. Such
amount payable under the deferred payment mechanism was therefore
classified as long term borrowings. During the curent year the
deferred payment mechanism was paid out of term loan facility reffered
as 5(e). The balance as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2014 amount to
Rs. Nil and Rs. 26,754.78 respectively.
b) Rs. 4,700 out of the said project loan representing priority medium
term loan shall be disbursed by UBI to the Company towards capital
expenditure. In the current year, the Company has drawn a sum of Rs.
Nil (previous year Rs. 300.00) out of the sanctioned limit.
2. Priority medium term loan
As part of the CDR package the Lenders agreed to provide additional
funding in the form of priority medium term loans of Rs. 10,000 for the
implementation of 200 MW Plant in the proportion of the outstanding
exposure to the Company as on the 1 July 2011. Such funding priority
shall be in the form of deferred letter of credit for 35 months which
shall be funded by the Priority loans. In the current year, the Company
has drawn a sum of Rs. 1,150.00 (previous year Rs. 21.76) (net of
repayment) out of the sanctioned limit.
d) Reset of Interest Rate:
The Lenders who are part of the consortium of banks, alongwith the
approval of CDR EG, shall have a right to reset the rate of interest on
the term loans after every three years (or short period as decided by
the CDR EG) and working capital interest rate every year.
e) Consequential effect of the CDR Scheme on the interest cost and the
classification of the interest accrued on borrowings as loans
As explained in note 6 (iii) (a) above, the Lenders waived the
obligation of the Company to pay any liquidated damages, default or
penal interest / interest / further interest charged by the Lenders in
excess of the concessional rates approved under the CDR package w.e.f 1
July 2011. Consequently, an interest credit received from the Lenders
amounting to Rs 1,201.70 and the balance of interest accrued
outstanding as at 31 March 2012 relating to various facilities
amounting to Rs 3,502.00 was transferred to FITL.
f) Default in repayment of loan and interest
As per the terms of the first Corporate Debt Restructuring package, 10%
of principal amount aggregating to Rs. 6,717.08 and 5% of principle
amount aggregating to Rs. 459.78 became due during the current year
ended 31 March 2015 and 3% of principal amount aggregating to Rs.
2,439.29 became due during the previous year ended 31 March 2014.
Further, the interest outstanding on the term loans as at 31 March 2015
amounts to Rs. 16,968.59 (Previous year Rs. 6,030.46).
3. 2nd Re-structuring
In light of continuing downturn in the solar industry where margins
were under significant stress and the continuing operating and cash
losses of the Company, the Company could not achieve the projection
submitted under first CDR package. Considering the above, the Company
has approached for second CDR package in the financial year ended March

MP Urja rejecting the extension plea and deciding to cancel the work
order (other than the 3 sites considered completed by MP Urja) given to
the Company along with the forfeiture of EMD and imposition of penalty
due to the non compliance by the Company. MP Urja had also stated in

is still waited. However, the management is under final negotiation
with the department and hope the matter will be resolved in the next 2
quarter of the next financial year and outstanding amount will be
realised after adjusting sum amount of penalties which is not yet

the action that MP Urja may take and the outcome of the final notice
issued, that may include forfeiture of EMD, adjusting the dues against
any loss or damage and levy of penalty, in the light of the Company
expressing its inability to complete the order within the stipulated

1 DEBT RESTRUCTURING
i) Background
The Company had set up a green field project for manufacturing Solar
Photovoltaic cells with a capacity of 160 MW, comprising two lines of
80 MW each under Phase -I and are in the process of setting up an
additional manufacturing facility Line -3 with a 200 MW capacity under
Phase - II, at Plot No. 3C/1 Ecotech-II, Udyog Vihar Greater Noida in
the State of Uttar Pradesh. The existing lending banks ('Lenders') had,
at the request of the Company, sanctioned Term loans, deferred payment
guarantee facilities and working capital facilities on such terms and
conditions as contained in various loan agreements / facility
agreements entered into between the Company and the Lenders.
ii) Conditions leading to restructuring
The Company witnessed significant downturn due to weak demand both
globally as well as in the domestic market and incurred significant
cash and operating losses during the year. Also, the current mismatch
between cost and selling prices resulted in the stoppage of plant from
September, 2011, which severely impacted the cash flow position of the
Company that prompted the filing of a restructuring package of its
existing loans with the Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell ('CDR Cell').
At the request of the Company and in consideration of its commitment to
improve its operations, the application so filed was referred to the
Corporate Debt Restructuring Forum, a non-statutory voluntary mechanism
set up under the aegis of the Reserve Bank of India (hereinafter
referred to as the "CDR"). Pursuant thereto, the CDR Empowered Group at
their meeting held on 30th January, 2012 approved a restructuring
package in terms of which the existing loans were restructured and
certain additional financial assistance was proposed to be extended to
the Company as set out in the Letter of Approval dated 7th March, 2012
issued by Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell to the Lenders and the
Company (hereinafter referred to as the "CDR Package")
The terms and conditions of the CDR are binding on the Lenders and the
Company, effective from the date of the signing of the Master
Restructuring Agreement ('MRA') i.e. 28th March, 2012 (except in case
of Indian Bank wherein the ('MRA') is yet to be signed) with each of
the Lenders. Under the CDR package, the Company is entitled to the
reliefs and concessions granted by the Lenders pursuant to the Approved
CDR Package, with effect from 1st July, 2011 ('the Relevant Date'). In
connection with obtaining the necessary approvals for restructuring of
existing loans, the promotors were required to contribute funds in
accordance with sanction letter. As a consequence, the Company received
an unsecured loan from its promotors amounting to Rs. 950.00.
iii) Principal terms of the Master restructuring Agreement ('MRA') in
accordance with the CDR scheme.
a) Waivers of existing events of default and the consequential effect
thereof:
The Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the MRA
agreed to the reconstitution of the Existing Loans due to the Lenders
pursuant to the CDR Package. As part of the restructuring arrangement,
the Lenders waived any existing Events of Default in connection with
the Existing loans and any rights, remedies or powers that had arisen
in connection therewith. Also, each of the Lenders waived the
obligation of the Company to pay any liquidated damages, default or
penal interest / interest / further interest charged by the Lenders in

July, 2011, without considering any increase in such rates on account
of the occurrence of any default under such documents, together with
compound interest, penalties or any other charges thereon under those
documents of such Lender during the period commencing on 1st July, 2011
and ending on 30th June, 2013.
b) Restructuring of the Existing loans:
- Each of the Lenders and Company agreed that the Existing Loans shall
be reconstituted as follows:
- Existing Rupee Term Loans of Rs. 34,485.82 together with all
interest, charges, costs, expenses and any other amounts accrued and
outstanding on 1st July, 2011 has been reconstituted into Facility -A;
- The existing Short Term Loan of Rs. 2,200.00 from Andhra Bank

- The outstanding amount on account of interest on Secured term loans,
interest on Short term loan, interest on WCTL and interest on existing
Working Capital from cut-off date till 30th June, 2013, not exceeding
Rs. 9,845.00 shall stand funded by way of Funded Interest Term Loan
("FITL") as Facility - D
c) Sanction for additional funding
1. Project Loan from Union Bank of India
Union Bank of India ('UBI') sanctioned a Project Loan amounting to Rs.
27,500 (including Priority Term Loan of Rs. 4,700). The Project Loan by
UBI has been sanctioned in the following manner:
a) The Company has been sanctioned Rs. 22,800 Letter of Credit (LC)
opened in favour of M/s. Schmid Technology Systems GmbH ('Schmid') by
UBI, for a period of 35 months from the date of shipment out of term
loan disbursement. In accordance with the said arrangement, the same
shall be converted into Term Loan in February, 2014. Schmid discounted
the said Letter of Credit with their bankers (counterparty bank) and
UBI in consultation with the Company and Schmid, entered into a
Deferred payment credit facility with the counterparty bank wherein, a
sum of Rs. 22,142.26 has been paid by the counterparty bank to M/s.
Schmid towards imported capital goods . UBI is paying the interest in
respect relating to such financing to the counterparty bank, which is
being charged to the Company. In accordance with the terms of the
agreement with Schmid and the Deferred payment facility, there is no
obligation to pay to Schmid as the same has been discharged by the
counterparty bank. As a consequence, UBI has an obligation towards the
counterparty bank to repay the loan in accordance with the terms agreed
at the end of the Letter of credit term i.e. 35 months from the date of
shipment. Such amount payable under the Deferred payment mechanism has
therefore been classified as Long term borrowings.
b) Rs. 4,700 out of the said Project Loan shall be disbursed by UBI to
the Company towards capital expenditure.
2. Medium term loan
As part of the CDR package the Lenders have agreed to provide
additional funding in the form of medium term loans of Rs.10,000 for
the implementation of 200 MW Plant in the proportion of the outstanding
exposure to the Company as on the 1st July, 2011. Such funding shall be
in the form of deferred letter of credit for 35 months which shall be
funded by the Priority loans.
d) Reset of Interest Rate:
The Lenders who are part of the consortium of banks, alongwith the
approval of CDR EG, shall have a right to reset the rate of interest on
the term loans after every three years (or short period as decided by
the CDR EG) and working capital interest rate every year.
e) Consequential effect of the CDR Scheme on the interest cost and the
classification of the interest accrued on borrowings as loans
As explained in note 6 (iii) (a) above, the Lenders waived the
obligation of the Company to pay any liquidated damages, default or
penal interest / interest / further interest charged by the Lenders in
excess of the concessional rates approved under the CDR package from
1st July, 2011, the consequential effect has been that there has been a
credit received from the Lenders amounting to Rs 1,201.70 and the
balance of interest accrued outstanding as at 31st March, 2012 relating
to various facilities amounting to Rs 3,502.00 transferred to FITL.
f) Balances outstanding in relation to facilities availed from Indian
Bank pending finalisation and approval
As explained in note (ii) above, one of the consortium banks i.e.
Indian Bank is yet to sign the Master Restructuring Agreement. However,
management believes that as per RBI guidelines the CDR package has been
approved by super majority of the consortium of banks. Accordingly, the
owings to this particular bank have been reclassified and interest has
been recalculated in accordance with the CDR package. The short term
borrowings comprising cash credit amounting to Rs 1,223.92 and devolved
Letter of Credit amounting to Rs. 511.57 have been reclassified as Long
term borrowing (Rs. 1,402.43) and Short term borrowings (Rs. 333.06)
as at 31st March, 2012. The existing term loan of Rs. 5,996.79 has been
disclosed as long term borrowing with Nil current maturities. The
interest due w.e.f 1st July, 2011 till 31st March, 2012 at revised
rates amounting to Rs. 549.73 has been reclassified as a Funded
Interest Term Loan. The above reclassifications and interest
calculations are subject to reconciliation and approval by this
particular bank.

3 The Global Photovoltaic sector remains in a structural oversupply in
2012 with an estimated capacity likely to be in the region of 50GW with
the operating capacity being lower than that. Correspondingly, the
demand would be approximately 35GW. It is expected that China, USA,
Japan and India shall be the main demand growth drivers in 2012.
The Indian Solar Energy Market has developed over the last few years
mainly due to the National Solar Mission ('NSM') and the State Solar
programs. Annual installed capacities/projections are as under:
The market size estimates in some of the expert reports (Deustche Bank
and McKinsey) suggest that the annual capacity may be much higher
compared to the above projections. The most recently conducted bidding
process by NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited ('NVVN') under National
Solar Mission (NSM) led to a sharper than expected reduction in the
Project Costs Assumptions due to aggressive bidding. As a consequence,
this has impacted the
price points for Solar cells and Modules, thus making the economics
challenging at this point in time. Project developers are also facing
difficulties in obtaining Financial Closure from Banks for their
Projects, which is further delaying the finalization of orders for
Solar cells and Modules.
The current mismatch between cost and selling prices has resulted in
the stoppage of plant from September, 2011, which severely impacted the
cash flow position of the Company that prompted the filing of a
restructuring package with the Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell. In
connection therewith, the Company prepared Cash Flow projections after
taking into account the current business realities and such cash flows
have been incorporated in the CDR package which has been approved by
the consortium of banks. Management has simultaneously implemented
operational improvement actions and new initiatives as part of the
compensating actions to protect the margins in the context of the
current price erosion. The cash flow projections have been prepared
with an assumption that the project developers shall be able to achieve
financial closures and that the Company shall be able to garner a
reasonable share of demand both under NSM and State Solar Missions with
sustainable and reasonable gross margins despite low selling prices.
The Company's cash flow projections are largely dependent upon the
achievement of all these factors.
Management believes that the sector requires significant government
support and policy intervention to support the viability of the sector.
A few such policy initiatives under active discussion and the outcome
of which is awaited at this point in time relate to:
- The Imposition of Anti Dumping Duty on goods from China, Taiwan,
Malaysia & USA as per the petition filed by The Solar Manufacturers
Association of India on 18th January, 2012;
- The continuance and increasing scope of Local Content Requirement
['LCR'] for the PV cells in Phase II of NSM [2013 to 2017]; and
- Commitment of the government to the National Solar Mission and State
Solar Missions.
As a result of the above significant uncertainties and possible changes
in the business dynamics mentioned above, the outcome of which
including consequential impact on the Company's cash flows will be
known only in the ensuing period, the cash flows that were prepared by
management and as approved by the CDR cell have been considered for
impairment assessment. Based on such analysis, the cash flow
projections do not indicate impairment as at 31st March, 2012 .

a) Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital
account (net of advances) not provided for Rs. 2,674.30 (previous year

year: Rs. 372.55).
