15. Â Â Â REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT

SJVN, being conscious of its responsibilities towards society, is committed to execute and operating
power projects in a socially responsible manner by adopting generous Rehabilitation & Resettlement
(RSR) measures for the benefit of Project Affected Families (PAFs) by investing in the socio-economic
development of communities to continually minimize potential negative impacts as well as to
establish the sustainable positive impact of projects on them.

Well before any project is taken up for execution, Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study is carried out to
ensure that the potential socio-economic benefits accrued from the project outweigh the likely social
costs and adverse social impact. Public consultation meetings with the stakeholders are held by the
project authorities to make local communities aware of developmental facilities to be created in the
fields of health, education, sanitation, drinking water, approach roads and other community assets of
the project and their benefits to the society. Subsequently, the RSR plan is devised based on conclusive
findings derived from the socio-economic survey carried out by an independent expert agency. The
RSR plan thus devised and approved essentially prescribes mitigation measures for the
reconstruction and regeneration of economies of the PAFs. During the implementation stage of the
RSR plan, regular monitoring of RSR activities is conducted through an external independent agency
to ensure the timely extension of RSR benefits to the PAFs. Subsequently on completion and
implementation of the RSR plan, social impact evaluation is carried out by an independent external
agency to assess various tangible and intangible benefits accrued in the area of socio-economic
development. To have constant interaction with local people, a Project Information Centre is set up at
project level.

17. Â Â Â INTEGRATION OF THE GOVERNMENT E-MARKETPLACE (GEM) WITH ITS SAP S/4 HANA ERP SYSTEM:

During the financial year, SJVN achieved a significant milestone in enhancing transparency and
operational efficiency by successfully integrating the Government e-Ma rketplace (GeM) with its SAP
S/4 HANA ERP system. This strategic integration allows seamless flow of contract data from GeM
directly into SJVNâs ERP platform through a dedicated GeM integration layer.

One of the key advantages of this integration is the automatic reflection of payment status updates

to vendors when updated in SAP S/4 HANA system. Once payments are processed and updated in
SJVN's SAP S/4 HANA system, the corresponding information becomes instantly available to
vendors through their GeM accounts. This initiative not only streamlines internal procurement
processes but also enhances transparency and communication with vendors by providing payment
status visibility.

The integration reaffirms SJVN's commitment to adopt digital solutions that promote accountability,
improve vendor satisfaction, and align with the Government of Indiaâs vision of digital governance and
ease of doing business.â

8. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND FUTURE BUSINESS STRATEGY

SJVN has set for itself ambitious capacity addition targets of 25000 MW by the year 2030 and 50000 MW by 2040. With the increasing renewableÂ energy (Solar, Wind, Hybrid) penetration in the grid day by day, SJVNÂ since long has been making all the efforts for allotment of Hydro PowerÂ Projects/Pumped hydro Storage Projects Pan India and in neighboringÂ counties as well.

A. Business opportunities in Hydro and PSPs

1. Â Â Â Hydro-Electric Projects:

As per the Reassessment Study carried out by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) during 1978-1987, the assessed hydro power potentialÂ in the country is about 145320 MW (for projects with capacity above 25Â MW). Presently, 42104.6 MW (29%) out of 145320 MW has been developedÂ and 15023.5 MW (10.3%) is under construction. As compared to wind andÂ solar, hydro power is of much greater value due to several reasonsÂ including black start, regulations and frequency response, spinningÂ reserve, non-spinning reserve and voltage reserve.

The north-eastern states of India, collectively hold a significant portion of India's hydroelectric potential. Specially, Arunachal Pradesh, oftenÂ referred to as the "Powerhouse of the Northeast" due to its immenseÂ hydroelectric potential around 50,000 megawatts (MW) of hydroelectricÂ power, primarily driven bythe Brahmaputra and its tributaries.

2. Â Â Â Pumped Hydro Storage Projects:

MoP (Gol) indication of identified 55 No's PSPs sites of cumulative capacity of 73,240 MW to seven CPSUs i.e., NHPC; NTPC; SJVN; THDC;Â NEEPCO; DVC and BBMB MW in various states.

As per CEA report, currently 43 Pumped Hydro Storage (PSPs) are under survey investigation with an aggregate installed capacity ofÂ 55,085 MW. These included projects situated in states like Uttarakhand,Â Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Pumped storage plants can generate power continuously for long duration, depending on the storage capacity of the reservoir. TheseÂ should be considered as RE projects and not like the conventional hydroÂ power projects. These plants have a lifetime of over 40 years, and theyÂ operate with an efficiency of 70-80 per cent. Further, as compared toÂ the conventional thermal generator, PSP has the ability of quick start-stop as well as higher ramping capability.

PSPs can cater to the seasonal mismatches in RE and load due to its bulk storage capability. PSPs having minimal environmental impact,Â minimum RSRand, lowercost.shorterconstruction period.

Business Strategy:

I.) To acquire HEPs/PSPs through allotment/MoU with state govts.

ii. ) To acquire HEPs/PSPs through open market competitive bidding

iii. ) To acquire stalled stressed HEPs/PSPs from previous developers

orthrough NCLT.

iv. ) To acquire and execute HEPs/PSPs by forming JVCs with state

bodies/Boards/corporations and private players in PPE mode.

In line with the business strategy, SJVN has signed MoU with GoAP for execution of Five HEPs (5097 MW) in Dibang river basin. Further,Â nine projects (cumulative capacity of 1507 MW) are under pipelineÂ forsigning MoU. SJVN has signed MoU with MAHAGENCO (Govt, ofÂ Maharashtra undertaking) for development of 5000 MW renewableÂ energy projects i/c HEPs/PSPs in state of Maharashtra. SJVN hasÂ also signed MoU with Navayga Engineering Company ltd for

development of OJU HEP (1878 MW) on PPE mode in Arunachal Pradesh.

B. Â Â Â RE-RTC Power for different consumers with different demandÂ profile in different part of country.

RE-RTC (Renewable Energy-Round the Clock) is a form of supply that combine storage system such as battery energy StorageÂ system or PSP with Solar, Wind or Hydro to meet a demand at aÂ desired availability and cost. Round the Clock (RTC) supply hasÂ gained prominence in recent years due to various benefit itÂ provides; Reliable supply of Power, Combination of Solar and windÂ with complimentary profile, reducing the Green Housing Gas (GHG)Â emission etc. The study explores combination of RE sources for RE-RTC to meet the requirement of different consumers with differentÂ demand profile. With Reduction of Cost of Storage technologies, it isÂ expected that RE-RTC will become cost competitive with otherÂ standalone renewable technologies and the dependence on fossilÂ fuel sources may be reduced in the future. Overall, achieving RE-RTC is a critical goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions andÂ ensuring a sustainable energy future.

Business Strategy:

SJVN Ltd. has entered in all fields of Renewable Energy (RE) generation i.e. Hydro, Solar and Wind. Therefore, SJVN is capableÂ for supply of RE-RTC for different consumers with their demandÂ profile based on the market practices.

C. Â Â Â Plan for a joint venture for captive power plants for Refineries,Â Railways etc.

The shift towards self-reliance in energy is gaining momentum in India. One significant stride in this direction is the adoption ofÂ captive power generation. These power plants, especially prevalentÂ in industrial hubs like Surat, are not just a symbol of energyÂ independence but also a testament to innovation and sustainability.Â Captive power plants (CPPs) represent a paradigm shift in India'sÂ approach to energy generation. By allowing industries to produceÂ their own electricity, CPPs provide a reliable and cost-effectiveÂ alternative to grid power, especially in areas with less supply.

a) Â Â Â The Growth Trend: The captive power generation market in India isÂ experiencing significant growth, with projections showing anÂ increase by 31.05 GW from 2021 to 2026. This expansion, at a CAGR ofÂ 6.63%, indicates a strong move towards self-reliance in powerÂ generation by industries.

b) Â Â Â Financial Benefits and Incentives

The financial logic behind adopting CPPs is compelling. In areas like Surat, high industrial power costs drive the adoption of captiveÂ power solutions.

Cost-Effectiveness: By generating their own power, industries can substantially reduce their energy expenses.

Sale of Excess Power: CPPs not only provide energy security but also offer the potential for revenue generation. Industries can sellÂ surplus power to open-access trading markets, turning anÂ operational necessity into a financial asset.

Business Strategy:

i) Â Â Â To sign MoU with State Governments for various industrial units.

ii) Â Â Â To sign MoU with Railway/OilCompanies/Private players

iii) Â Â Â By forming JVCs with state bodies/Boards/corporations/PSUs andÂ private players for installation of plants

SJVN, being conscious of its responsibilities towards society, is committed to execute and operate power projects in a socially responsible manner by adopting generous Resettlement & Rehabilitation measures for the benefit of project affected families (PAFs) and by investing in socioeconomic development of communities so as to continually minimize potential negative impacts as well as to establish sustainable positive impact of projects on them.

Well before any project is taken up for execution, social impact assessment (SIA) study is carried out to ensure that the potential socio-economic benefits accrued from the project outweigh the social costs and adverse social impact. Public consultation meetings with the stakeholders are held by the project authorities to make the local communities aware of developmental facilities to be created in the field of health, education, sanitation, drinking water, approach roads and other community assets of the project and their benefits to the society. Subsequently, the R&R plan is devised based on conclusive findings derived from socio economic survey carried out by an independent expert agency. The R&R plan thus devised and approved, essentially prescribes mitigation measures for reconstruction and regeneration of economies of the PAFs.

During implementation stage of the R&R plan, regular monitoring of R&R activities is conducted through an external independent agency to ensure timely extension of R&R benefits to the PAFs. Similarly, after completion and R&R implementation of plan, social impact evaluation is carried out by independent external agency to assess various tangible and intangible benefits accrued in the area of socio economic development. The R&R plans have been successfully implemented in 1500 MW Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station (NJHPS) and 412 MW Rampur Hydro Power Station (RHPS) both located in Himachal Pradesh, whereas R&R plan is in the initial stage of implementation in 60 MW Naitwar Mori Hydro Electric Project (Uttrakhand). Several benefits under R&R Plan, like providing alternate agricultural land, allotment of constructed houses in rehabilitation colonies or grant of construction cost to houseless PAFs, suitable employment to eligible landless PAFs or financial assistance in lieu of employment, subsistence allowance have been provided to PAFs. In addition to these benefits, other capital assets have been created which include infrastructure and community development facilities like village paths, roads, panchayat bhawans, school infrastructure, playgrounds, drinking water, health & hygiene etc. The local farmers around RHPS have been adequately compensated for reduction in crop yield as per the crop compensation policy of the Government of HP. Besides this, funds of Rs.55.26 Crores have been spent under Local Area Development Fund (LADF) for carrying out various infrastructural development works. The Social Impact Assessment Study of 210 MW LHEP stage-I (H.P) is being carried out by GoHP empanelled agency

The social impact evaluation of R&R plan implemented in NJHPS and RHPS was carried out by Agriculture Economic Research Centre (AERC) of Himachal Pradesh University. The report submitted by AERC revealed that R&R implementation in the project-affected areas have substantially enhanced socio-economic standard of the local population on various development parameters.

Your company''s Corporate Objectives also promote conservation and protection of environment as in ''striving clean and green project environment with minimal ecological and social disturbances''. Towards this end, your company has formulated a comprehensive Environment Management Plan to ameliorate any potential environmental impacts for sustenance of resources over a long term.

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) for NathpaJhakri Hydro Electric Project had been formulated for Rs. 35.85 Crores. Activities such as compensatory afforestation, muck disposal plan, fisheries sustenance, green belt development, etc. have been completed while CAT plan works are under implementation by State Forest Department, Govt. of H.P.

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) for Rampur Hydro Electric Project had been approved for Rs.45.52 Crores and mitigation measures at site are in various stages of implementation. Restoration of muck dumping sites and other muck utilisation areas in Rampur HE Project has been largely done using state of the art Geo-green erosion control blanket system which have been designed and evolved to provide an integrated solution for slope stabilization.
