MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

In fiscal 2009, the electricity generation grew by 2.71 from 704.45 to
723.56 BUs whereas during the same period the requirement grew from 739.35
BUs to 774.32 BUs. The annual energy shortage thus increased to 11%. This
was the highest in six years, previous year shortage being 9.9%. The peak
shortage however declined to 12% in the year 2009 when compared with 16.6%
in the previous year. The gross electricity requirement by the end of the
Eleventh Plan projected by the Working Group on power is 1038 Billion Unit
(BU) and peak demand estimation is 151000 MW. To fulfil the estimated
electricity demand requirement, the target for capacity addition during
Eleventh Plan has been kept at 78577 MW. The three key components of the
power industry include Generation, Transmission and Distribution a brief of
which is given as follows:

Generation

The installed generation capacity has increased by 15635.4 MW to 147965.4
MW in the first two fiscal ears of the 11th plan.

(MW)

Sector Installed Installed Increase in Target
Capacity Capacity Installed Capacity

State 70096 76115.70 6019.70 27952

Central 45121 48971.00 3850.00 39865

Private 17113 22878.70 5765.70 10760

Total 132330 147965.40 15635.40 78577

The electricity supply industry in India is also characterized by a large
amount of captive generation, which has been established by energy
intensive industries such as steel and aluminium. Under the Electricity
Act, captive generators are able to sell excess power to consumers.

The total requirement of funds for generation projects, during the Eleventh
Plan period is estimated at Rs. 4,108,960 million, with Rs. 2,020,670
million being required for the central sector, Rs. 1,237,920 million being
required for the state sector and Rs. 850,370 million being required for
the private sector.

Transmission

By the end of loth Plan the total length of transmission lines in the
country comprised about 1.98 lakh ckt kms. During the first two fiscal
years of the 11th plan a total of about 23239 ckt km of lines have already
been commissioned. Similarly the substation transformation capacity has
gone up from about 2.62 lakh MVA at the end of the 10th Plan to 3.06 lakh
MVA at the end of fiscal 2009. Investments for transmission system
development and related schemes during the Eleventh Plan period is
estimated at Rs. 1,400,000 million, with Rs. 750,000 million being required
for the central sector and Rs. 650,000 million being required for the state
sector.

The focus of transmission system development is to provide adequate inter-
regional and intra-regional transmission capacity so as to consolidate and
strengthen the national grid network towards a strong all-India grid. The
Government of India's (GoI's) transmission perspective plans focus on the
creation of a national grid in a phased manner by adding over 60,000 ckm of
transmission network by 2012. It is intended that integrated grid will
evacuate an additional 100,000 MW by the year 2012 and carry 60% of the
power generated in the country. The existing inter-regional power transfer
capacity is to be enhanced to 30,000 MW by fiscal 2012 through creation of
'Transmission Super Highways'.

In order to attract private sector investments in major transmission
projects, the Got launched a scheme in 2007 under the Electricity Act,
pursuant to which private developers are proposed to become transmission
service providers on a 'build, own and operate' basis. The Got has
identified 14 transmission-related projects to be implemented on a build,
own and operate basis, which are in various stages of development.

Distribution

Distribution reforms have been re-emphasized by the Got by re-launching the
APDRP scheme, which has now been made performance based. The total fund
requirement for sub-transmission and distribution system development for
urban and rural areas, during the eleventh Plan period is estimated at
Rs.2,870,000 million inclusive of APDRP and RGGVY schemes, however the
reforms in this segment are limited by the poor financial health of the
SEBs and State Public Utilities and their resultant inability to upgrade
the distribution network.

To address this issue, the erstwhile APDRP has been continued through the
1lthplan as R-APDRP (Restructured APDRP). The program is now focussed on
actual, demonstrable performance in terms of sustained loss reduction and
proposes to cover urban areas - towns and cities with population of more
than 30,000 (10,000 in case of special category states). In addition, in
certain high-load density rural areas with significant loads, works of
separation of agricultural feeders from domestic and industrial ones, and
of High Voltage Distribution System (11KV) will also be taken up. The Part-
A of R-APDRP aims at preparation of Base-line data for the project area
covering Consumer Indexing, CIS Mapping, Metering of Distribution
Transformers and Feeders, and Automatic Data Logging for all Distribution
Transformers and Feeders and SCADA / DMS system etc. Part-B aims at
renovation, modernization and strengthening of 11KV level Substations,
Transformers/ Transformer Centers, Re-conductoring of lines at 11KV level
and below and upgradation of the entire last mile distribution
infrastructure.

Got will provide 100% Loan for part-A of the R-APDRP schemes and upto 25%
(90% for special category States) Loan for part-B of the R-APDRP schemes
for which funds would be channelized through PFC / REC. The entire amount
of Got loan for part-A of the project shall be converted into grant after
establishment of the required base-line data system within a stipulated
time frame and duly verified by third party inspection agencies. Part-B
loans to the extent of 50% (90% for special category States) loan for Part-
B projects shall be converted into grant in five equal tranches on
achieving 15% AT&C loss in the project area duly verified by third party
inspection agencies, on a sustainable basis for a period of five years.

The performance orientation built into the R-APDRP is expected to
incentivise and accelerate investments in distribution infrastructure, and
result in faster accomplishment of loss reduction goals.

Significant Policy Action

Policy action taken by the Government of India progressively over the years
continues to enable and restructure the power sector and attract greater
private capital. Starting from the introduction of the Electricity Act,
2003 which modified the legal framework governing the electricity sector,
and set the stage for attracting capital for large scale power projects,
the National Electricity Policy, was notified in February 2005, which
defined the broad goals with the following key features (i) access to
Electricity for all households in the next five years; (ii) energy and
peaking shortages to be overcome and power demand to be fully met by 2012
(iii) Supply of reliable and quality power of specified standards in an
efficient manner and at reasonable rates (iv) Minimum lifeline consumption
of 1 unit / household / day as a merit good by year 2012 (v) Financial
turnaround and commercial viability of the electricity sector; and (vi)
Protection of consumer interests. The National Tariff Policy was notified
in January 2006, which aimed to ensure financial viability of the power
sector, attract investments, ensure availability of electricity to
consumers at reasonable rates, and promote transparency and consistency in
regulatory approach for tariff setting. An Appellate Tribunal for
electricity also became functional since July 2005. Further, distribution
reforms were identified as the key area to bring about the efficiency and
improve financial health of the power sector. Among other various
initiatives, the Got approved a scheme called 'Accelerated Power
Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP)' in March 2003 which has been
relaunched as R-APDRP in September, 2008 by making it more performance-
based and financially attractive. The Rural Electrification Policy was
notified in August 2006, with the objective of improving access and quality
of electricity supply in rural areas to ensure rapid economic development
by providing electricity as an input for productive uses in agriculture,
rural industries etc.

The Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) which was launched by
the Got in April 2005 envisages electrification of about 1.15 lakh un-
electrified villages, free electricity connections to 2.34 crore BPL
households and providing access to electricity to all rural households in
the country. The scheme aims to establish (i) Rural Electricity
Distribution Backbone (REDB) with 33/11 KV (or 66/11 KV) sub-stations of
adequate capacity and lines in blocks where these do not exist (ii) Village
Electrification Infrastructure (VEI) with provision of distribution
transformers of appropriate capacity in villages / habitations) and (iii)
Decentralized Distributed Generation (DDG) and supply from conventional or
renewable or nonconventional sources such as biomass, bio fuel, bio gas,
mini hydro, geo thermal and solar etc. for villages where grid connectivity
is either not feasible or not cost effective. Subsidy towards capital
expenditure to the tune of 90% is being channelized through REC, which is
the nodal agency for implementation of the scheme in entire country. BPL
households are provided free electricity connections under the scheme in
rural habitations of project areas. The management of rural distribution is
envisaged through franchisees who could be Non-Governmental Organisations
(NGOs), Users Association, Panchayat Institutions, Cooperatives or
individual entrepreneurs. A three-tier quality control mechanism has been
built into the scheme. Initially approval for capital subsidy of Rs.5000
crores was provided during the 10th Plan period and further approval has
been accorded for capital subsidy of Rs.28000 crore during the Eleventh
Plan period. RGGVY has thus resulted in huge investments in providing
electricity supply in rural India.

2. OPPORTUNITIES

Got estimates for investment in the power sector, for XI Plan, stand at
10316 Billion INR which includes funds required for adding power generation
capacity, R&M of existing power plants, expansion and upgradation of
transmission and distribution infrastructure, decentralized distributed
generation etc. The capacity addition program during the XII Plan is even
higher. Therefore the opportunities for financing power infrastructure
projects are quite buoyant and are likely to remain so in the foreseeable
future. As a nodal agency for monitoring and channelizing funds under the
RGGVY program REG continues to take up the socio-economic responsibility of
village electrification and contribute to the mission of 'Power for all by
2012'.

3. PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

The Company, as a leading Public financial institution, provides interest
bearing loans to SEBs, State Power utilities/State Power Departments and
Private sector for development of all segments of Power infrastructure. The
Company has already devised and also continuously modifies/updates/extends
loan portfolios to suit the emerging requirements of the borrowing power
utilities.

During the year, the Company has sanctioned loan assistance of Rs.40745.84
crore (excluding subsidy of Rs.827.11 crore under RGGVY) and disbursed
Rs.22277.86 crore (including subsidy of Rs.5120.52 crore under RGGVY) in
line with the mandate given by the Government enlarging the areas of
operation of the Company to cover financing of all projects in Power
Sector. The major component of the sanctions of the Company was for
Generation schemes with total sanction amount of Rs. 21525.31 crore. In
addition, an amount of Rs.16037.24 Crore under Transmission and
Distribution (T&D) schemes, Rs.2,100 crore under Short Term Loan, Rs.808.46
crore under IC&D projects, Rs.182.93 crore under DDG projects and Rs.91.90
crore under RGGVY (excluding subsidy of Rs.827.11 crore under RGGVY) were
sanctioned. The disbursement includes Rs.7850.56 crore under Generation,
Rs.5699.97 crore under RGGVY (including subsidy of Rs.5120.52 crore under
RGGVY), Rs.6,687.33 crore under T & D schemes and Rs. 2,040 crore for Short
Term Loan.

4. THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS

Raising resources in a cost-effective manner in an adverse economic
environment prevalent during the year has been quite a challenging task and
by and large, the Company has done well on that front. The economic slow
down does not seem to have affected the power sector, and the ability of
eligible borrowers in mobilising capital and debt for their projects
continues to remain on track. The weak financial health of SEBs remains an
area of concern even as they undergo the reform process.

5. OUTLOOK

Several years of concerted policy action in the power sector has put it on
a sound footing. The progress in XI Plan projects gives an indication that
actual achievements could be far higher than the previous Five Year Plans
and close to the XI Plan capacity addition targets of 78577 MW of XI Plan.
Activity has already begun among the shelf of projects targeted for XII
plan and beyond which is over 1.55 lakh MW Planned investments in
transmission and distribution sector along with introduction of modern
technologies and investments in rural electrification guide us to a
continued robust growth in the power sector in India. Over the long term,
the per capita energy consumption in India is bound to increase, which is
currently significantly lower than world average. Power sector is one of
the key constituents of infrastructure required for overall growth of the
economy. With the outlook for Indian economy remaining bright, the power
sector is likely to scale new highs in the coming years.

6. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY

The Company has formulated various policies and procedures, as part of its
Internal Control System, for orderly and efficient conduct of its business,
including adherence to management's policies, safeguarding of assets,
prevention and detection of fraud and error, accuracy and completeness of
the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial
information.

The Company has a separate Internal Audit Division which verifies
compliance to the policies and procedures framed by the management. The
Internal Audit Division covers all areas of operations of the Company as
per the Annual Internal Audit Programme. The Division helps in improving
accuracy and efficiency of transactions and operations by undertaking
review of controls in built, scrutiny of payments and expenditure, and
examination of financial and technical records of the Company.

The audit of various Zonal Offices / Project Offices / CIRE located in
different parts of the country and various divisions of the Company at the
Corporate Office are also carried out on bi-annual, annual and biennial
basis during the year.
