("KSK" or the "Group" or the "Company")Interim Results for the half year ended 30th September 2016
KSK Power Ventur plc (KSK.L), the power project company listed on the London Stock Exchange, with interests in multiple power plants and businesses across India, announces its interim results for the half year ended 30 September 2016.
Financial Highlights
Gross Revenue* increased by 28% to $ 315.4 m (H1 2015: $ 245.47 m)
Gross Profit increased by 66% to $ 87.51 m (H1 2015: $ 52.64 m)
Operating Profit increased by 78% to $ 50.91 m (H1 2015: $ 28.68 m)
Loss before tax** of $ 116.88 m (H1 2015: loss of $ 146.49 m)
* includes $ 39.6 million at KSK Mahanadi under change in law provision of PPA requiring determination by the Electricity Regulatory Commission before any receipt of payment
** includes unrealised exchange loss of $ 13.53 million on account restatement of foreign currency loan and capital creditors.
The underlying revenue and gross profit have both increased compared to the same period last year and loss before tax has decreased owing to increased operational profitability. These movements are a result of higher power generation during the period, albeit with certain seasonality factors affecting generation during the first half. Furthermore due to anticipated improvements in operating performance during the second half, gross generation for FY 2017 is expected to exceed 10 TWh in aggregate.
However, with the Company's dependence in the short term on e-auction coal from Coal India, as well as open market coal purchases for balance coal requirements continuing as well as Coal pricing issues at Sai Wardha unresolved, it is anticipated that FY 2017 earnings will be constrained, albeit as short term issues whilst these immediate term coal procurement transition challenges are completed. Consequently, it is anticipated that these challenges will be resolvedby April 2017 in line with the overall industry solution, and as such the Company should continue to be in line with FY 2018 current market expectations.
Operating Highlights
During the period, operating assets generated 4,990 GWh with an average portfolio plant load factor ("PLF") of 55%, compared to 4,026 GWh with an average portfolio PLF of 44% for the corresponding period in the previous year.

Commenting on the results, T. L. Sankar, Chairman of KSK said:
"The first half of the current year has witnessed a definitive increase in gross generation at the KSK Mahanadi power plant compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, while the other plants had minor variations. In aggregate it is anticipated that gross generation could exceed 10 TWh for full year operations. It is anticipated that gross generation will continue to increase further during 2017-18.
With regard to the long term coal linkages at KSK Mahanadi, which in the short term have meant dependence on e-auction coal from Coal India and open market coal for balancing requirements, it is understood that the Ministry of Coal as well as the Ministry of Power of the Government of India are working towards a new policy of coal linkages for all power plants in India. KSK Mahanadi is currently meeting its entire coal requirements through e-auction and market coal. However, under the new policy under formulation, in addition to new linkage formats for future power generation plants, coal linkage requirements of all existing Independent Power Producers (IPPs), with PPA commitments to DISCOMS already made, is expected to also be addressed. This could ensure the power plant's long term coal requirements on a sustainable basis are addressed.
The Company is pleased to note that, not only has the additional debt been sanctioned by the Consortium of Project Lenders for KSK Mahanadi but also the interim disbursement has since commenced, enabling progress towards completion of the next 1,200 MW
As regards to discussions with a number of potential strategic and financial investors for collaboration / equity participation in the KSK Mahanadi project, progress has been made and the Company is confident that, with the support of its lenders, progress on this aspect will also be achieved.
Our performance during the period would not have been possible without the continued support of our shareholders, who have enabled us to pursue business opportunities despite challenging market conditions"

Key Business Updates
3,600 MW KSK MAHANADI POWER PROJECT:
Construction of KSK Mahanadi, a large single location green field private power plant, has continued. There have been notable achievements during the period, with continued operations of the first two 600 MW units, and construction progressing on the next two 600 MW units, made possible by the debt funding provided by the project lenders. Progress on the remaining 2 x 600 MW units to be built is dependent upon addressing additional equity requirements and other project aspects.
The 3,600 MW plant is supported by robust infrastructure developed by the Group companies Raigarh Champa Rail Infrastructure and KSK Water Infrastructure. These companies are in the process of being merged into KSK Mahanadi.
540 MW SAI WARDHA POWER:
Although Sai Wardha Power has experienced stable operational performance from its 2 x 135 MW Captive Power Plant units, the non-renewal of earlier medium term PPA with local utility, has significantly reduced the plant's overall load factor. A number of initiatives are underway to support the operation of the third 135 MW unit, with the fourth unit planned to be brought into operation a few months later. The long term PPA with Maharashtra Discom, based on an order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity in favour of Sai Wardha, has been appealed against at the Supreme Court by another generator, with a final ruling expected post hearing scheduled in February 2017.
As regards the price and supply of coal, a ruling by the Competition Commission of India ("CCI") in favour of Sai Wardha was made in October 2014, but then appealed by Western Coal Fields at the Competition Appellate Tribunal. A favourable final ruling would not only enable a price reduction but also support substantial claims for damages for the prior periods.
The Company continues to make every effort to pursue the coal price reduction and implementation of the APTEL direction, which will ultimately lead to the enhanced utilisation and profitability of the Sai Wardha plant.
135 MW VS LIGNITE POWER PRIVATE LIMITED (VSLP):
Total gross power generated during the period reflects the challenges being experienced through short term PPAs during the Government mandated transition process from Captive Power Plant to Independent Power Producer for continued access to fuel resources.. The Company has been supplying power to the local grid and is continuing its efforts to secure the necessary long term PPAs.
58 MW SAI REGENCY POWER CORPORATION PRIVATE LIMITED (SRPCPL):
With the continuous supply of gas and an efficient operation, the plant has produced an exceptional operational and financial performance, which is expected to continue.
86 MW SAI LILAGAR POWER GENERATION LIMITED (SLPGL):
In addition to power generation enhancement at Sai Lilagar Power following reworked fuel arrangements such that asset utilisation improves and reaches low to mid 80% PLF levels over the next few quarters. The Company is also in parallel currently evaluating multiple strategic options of equity participation / divestment at this plant..
43 MW SITAPURAM POWER LIMITED (SPL):
The energy generated in the period has been supplied to the captive consumer in accordance with the provisions of the PPA, and the balance power generated has been sold to local utility companies.
10 MW SAI MAITHILI SOLAR POWER PROJECT:
The 10 MW PV solar power generation plant is located in the state of Rajasthan, operating under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and has an attractive long term power purchase agreement.
EQUITY AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company's shareholding in KSKEV has been maintained at 68.12%, with additional equity invested during the year. The Company's financing plans involve pursuing a number of initiatives including a secondary sale of project interests and refinancing opportunities on more favourable terms to provide the necessary liquidity to retire part of the existing high cost debt.
Of the total $ 3.52 billion for completion of the 2,400 MW (including the integration of the railway and water infrastructure assets as well expenditure already incurred on the present 1,200 MW unit under construction), over $ 2.8 billion has already been incurred and plans are underway to complete construction and achieve an operational 2,400 MW during 2017.
As regards the additional expenditure of $ 657 million required to build the final 1,200 MW to complete a fully functional 3,600 MW (giving a total investment of $ 4.18 billion), the Company is holding discussions and evaluating proposals for further strategic funding and equity collaboration at the asset level with multiple potential participants.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
With a total operating capacity of 2,072 MW, the consolidated operating revenue achieved was $ 315.4 m, with a gross profit of $ 87.51 m, operating profits of $ 50.91 m, and a loss before tax of $ 116.88 m.
The increase in revenue and gross profit was due to an increase in power generation from KSK Mahanadi. As such an increase in operating performance led to an increase in operating profit and despite interest cost moving from $ 147 m to $ 152 m, loss before tax decreased from $ 146.49 m to $ 116.88 m.
The loss after tax has moved from $ 97 m to $ 103 m reflecting lower deferred tax asset recognition at Group level.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's operational strategy for FY 2016-17 is to continue to focus on improving the performance and PLF of the 2,072 MW of installed capacity with the target of exceeding 10 TWh of gross generation for the 12 month period.
The high capital expenditure and associated project debt required to develop and grow the Company's power generation business, coupled with adverse currency volatility and the current difficult Indian policy environment poses certain challenges. However, once the Government of India's new coal policy is implemented the Company expects to secure the necessary fuel linkages with long term asset attractiveness.
The Company continues to work on a number of major initiatives. With appropriate equity collaboration at KSK Mahanadi being supported by post debt cash accruals from operations, the Company expects to secure the necessary partnerships required to complete the KSK Mahanadi project, resulting in improved performance over time.
OUTLOOK
Demand for power generation in India is expected to grow over the next decade. The high quality of the Company's expanding asset base, a proven execution capability, and an increasingly efficient business structure with long term fuel supplies being addressed, means that KSK is well positioned to address and take advantage of these opportunities. However, while it is anticipated that immediate term performance will be constrained for FY 2017 until the coal linkage issues are addressed, owing to the emerging scenario of coal surpluses at Coal India during recent months, it is anticipated that the policy asymmetry will be appropriately addressed by the Government of India shortly, meaning the Company should continue to meet FY 2018 market expectations.
Once the remaining units of the KSK Mahanadi power project are added to the Company's existing portfolio, the Board believes KSK will be one of India's leading suppliers of power.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINITIES
The business of the Company is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which, if they occur may have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition, results or future operations. The risks and uncertainties set out in this document are not exhaustive and there may be risks of which the Board is not aware or believes to be immaterial, which may, in the future, adversely affect the Company's business. The risks and uncertainties faced by the Company and the industry as a whole have been previously provided in detail in the Annual Reports of the Company and the Interim Statements. The majority of the risks previously identified have not significantly changed. While the Company attempts to address the same, the key risks and uncertainties continued to be faced by the Company are as follows:
Delays in government decisions or implementation of earlier government decisions along with continual inconsistencies in government policies across departments and retrospective amendments to the existing policies or introduction of new policies;
Delays in providing necessary regulatory support and/or dispensation as may be required for timely implementation of the financing plans, or regulatory constraints on financing arrangements resulting in alternate financing arrangements, which make take more time than anticipated to complete.
Deviation from approved government policies and abuse of market dominance position by certain contractual counter parties;
Shortage of fuel and dependence on market based or imported fuel which is subject to market vagaries and other uncertainties;
Economic slowdown and negative sectoral outlook with resultant impact on banking sector delays in agreed project disbursements and the timely availability of credit;
Delays in enforcement of contractual rights or legal remedies with Government counter parties undertaking fuel supplies, power off take, transmission and open access amongst others;
PPA counter parties going contrary to pre-agreed understanding and seeking benefits from the power generators that are often in conflict with shareholder obligations to further the business;
Unusual currency depreciation that adversely affects the cost of project imports, project implementation, and repayment obligations;
Logistic bottlenecks and other infrastructure constraints of various agencies;
Challenges in the development of support infrastructure for the power projects, including physical hindrances and delay in the issue of permits and clearances associated with land acquisitions;
Political and economic instability, global financial turmoil and the resultant fiscal and monetary policies as well as currency depreciation resulting in increasing cost structures; and
Liquidity risk, project financing and sustainable debt levels against invested equity at projects.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended 30 September 2016
(All amount in thousands of US $, unless otherwise stated)

1.1. General information
KSK Power Ventur plc ('the Company' or 'KPVP' or 'KSK' or 'Parent'), a limited liability corporation, is the Group's parent Company and is incorporated and domiciled in the Isle of Man. The address of the Company's Registered Office, which is also principal place of business, is Fort Anne, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 5PD. The Company's equity shares are listed on the Standard List on the official list of the London Stock Exchange.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 November 2016.
1.2. Statement of compliance /responsibility statement
a. the condensed set of financial statements contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34"), "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by European Union ('EU')and gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and the profit or loss of the group as required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("DTR") 4.2.4R;
b. the Interim management report contained in this document includes a fair review of the information required by the Financial Conduct Authority's DTR 4.2.7R (being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year);
c. this document includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R (disclosure of related party transactions and changes therein);
d. the interim condensed Consolidated and Company financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
e. The financial information set out in these financial statements does not constitute statutory accounts. The financial statement is unaudited but has been reviewed by KPMG Audit LLC and their report is set out at the end of this document.
1.3. Financial period
The interim condensed Consolidated and Company financial statements are for the six months period ended 30 September 2016. The comparative information required by IAS 1 were determined using IAS 34 and include comparative information as follows:
Statement of financial position :
31 March 2016 being the end of immediately preceding financial year.
Income statement, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows
Six months ended 30 September 2015 being the comparable interim period of the immediate preceding financial year.
1.4. Basis of preparation
These interim condensed Consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared under International Accounting Standards-34- "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
These interim condensed Consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following:
derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value;
financial instruments that are designated as being at fair value through profit or loss account upon initial recognition are measured at fair value;
available-for-sale financial assets that are measured at fair value; and
Net employee defined benefit (asset) / liability that are measured based on actuarial valuation
The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been presented in United States Dollars ('US $'), which is the presentation currency of the Company. All amounts have been presented in thousands, unless specified otherwise.
Balances represent consolidated amounts for the Group, unless otherwise stated. The Company's financial statement represents separate financial statement of KPVP.
Going Concern:The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the Group and the Company will have sufficient funds to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future, covering at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. The Group requires funds for both short term operational needs as well as for long term investment programmes, mainly in construction projects for its power plants.
As a consequence, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group are well placed to manage their business risks and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting when preparing these financial statements.
2. Changes in accounting policy and disclosure
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of new standards as of 1 April 2016, noted below.
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 April 2016.
- IFRS 14 - Regulatory Deferral Accounts : IFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject to rate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatory deferral account balances upon its first-time adoption of IFRS. Entities that adopt IFRS 14 must present the regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement of financial position and present movements in these account balances as separate line items in the statement of profit or loss and OCI. The standard requires disclosure of the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity's rate-regulation and the effects of that rate-regulation on its financial statements. IFRS 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Since the Group is not subject to any rate regulation and is an existing IFRS preparer, this standard would not apply.
- IFRS 11 - Accounting for acquisition of interest in Joint Operations (Amendments) : The amendments to IFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business, must apply the relevant IFRS 3 principles for business combinations accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not re-measured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is retained. In addition, scope exclusion has been added to IFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party.
The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.
- IAS 16 & IAS 38 - Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciations and Amortisation (Amendments) : The amendments clarify the principle in IAS 16 and IAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact to the Group given that the Group has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.
- IAS 16 & IAS 41 - Agriculture : Bearer Plant (Amendments) : The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of IAS 41. Instead, IAS 16 will apply. After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under IAS 16 at accumulated cost (before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). The amendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of IAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearer plants, IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact to the Group as the Group does not have any bearer plants.
- IAS 27 - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (Amendments) : The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Entities already applying IFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate financial statements will have to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of IFRS electing to use the equity method in its separate financial statements, they will be required to apply this method from the date of transition to IFRS. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments will not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- IFRS 10 & IAS 28 - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments) : The amendments address the conflict between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The amendments clarify that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, between an investor and its associate or joint venture, is recognised in full. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that do not constitute a business, however, is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associate or joint venture. These amendments must be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.
- IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 - Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments) : The amendments address issues that have arisen in applying the investment entities exception under IFRS 10. The amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value.
Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that only a subsidiary of an investment entity that is not an investment entity itself and that provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. The amendments to IAS 28 allow the investor, when applying the equity method, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries.
These amendments must be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.
- IAS 1 - Disclosure Initiative (Amendments)
The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements clarify, rather than significantly change, existing IAS 1 requirements. The amendments clarify:
- The materiality requirements in IAS 1
- That specific line items in the statement(s) of profit or loss and OCI and the statement of financial position may be disaggregated
- That entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements
- That the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in aggregate as a single line item, and classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss
Furthermore, the amendments clarify the requirements that apply when additional subtotals are presented in the statement of financial position and the statement(s) of profit or loss and OCI. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.
- Annual Improvements 2012-2014 Cycle
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. They include:
- IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations : Assets (or disposal groups) are generally disposed of either through sale or distribution to owners. The amendment clarifies that changing from one of these disposal methods to the other would not be considered a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the requirements in IFRS 5. This amendment must be applied prospectively.
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Servicing contracts : The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assess the nature of the fee and the arrangement against the guidance for continuing involvement in IFRS 7 in order to assess whether the disclosures are required. The assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement must be done retrospectively. However, the required disclosures would not need to be provided for any period beginning before the annual period in which the entity first applies the amendments.
Applicability of the amendments to IFRS 7 to condensed interim financial statements : The amendment clarifies that the offsetting disclosure requirements do not apply to condensed interim financial statements, unless such disclosures provide a significant update to the information reported in the most recent annual report. This amendment must be applied retrospectively.
- IAS 19 Employee Benefits : The amendment clarifies that market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used. This amendment must be applied prospectively.
- IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting : The amendment clarifies that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. This amendment must be applied retrospectively.
These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group
3. Significant accounting Judgements, estimates and assumptions
There have been no significant changes in the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions applied for the purposes of the preparation of these interim condensed Consolidated and Company financial statements.
4. Acquisition and Dilution - change in non-controlling interest without change in control
Dilution in KSK Energy Ventures Limited
During the period ended 30 September 2016, the Group has sold 192,518 equity shares in KSK Energy Ventures Limited ("KEVL") to non - controlling interest. Pursuant to this the economic interest of the Group in KEVL has decreased from 68.17 percent to 68.12 percent resulting in a 0.05 percent decrease in Group's controlling interest in subsidiary without loss of control. The aforesaid transaction is accounted as an equity transaction, and accordingly no gain or loss is recognised in the interim condensed consolidated income statement. The difference of US $ 147, between the fair value of the net consideration received US $ 84 and the amount by which the non-controlling interest are adjusted US $ 231, is debited to 'Other reserve' within consolidated statement of changes in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

During the period ended 30 September 2016, KPHL has not exercised the right of conversion of balance 69,856,800 warrants resulting in forfeiture of the same. The aforesaid transaction is accounted as an equity transaction, and accordingly no gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Acquisition in KSK Mahanadi Power Company Limited

Pursuant to above, the economic interest of the Group in KMPCL increased by 0.65 percent in a subsidiary without loss of control. The aforesaid transaction is accounted as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss is recognised in the interim condensed consolidated income statement.

11. Segment information
The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8. Management has analysed the information that the chief operating decision maker reviews and concluded on the segment disclosure.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their services and has two reportable operating segments as follows:
Power generating activities and
Project development activities
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below, is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the Consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments. There is only one geographical segment as all the operations and business is carried out in India.

As at 30 September 2016, the Group is committed to purchase property, plant and equipment for US $ 1,292,052 (31 March 2016: US $ 1,467,098). In respect of its interest in joint operations the Group is committed to incur capital expenditure of US $ 48 (31 March 2016:US $49).
b. Guarantees

The Group guaranteed the performance of the joint ventures under the power delivery agreements to unrelated parties. No liability is expected to arise.
c. Legal and other claim
As a part of the environment and activities of the Group, the Group is exposed to a number of litigation and claim matters which may significantly impact receivables or payables. No significant developments have occurred in respect of these matters during the period except disclosed below. Litigation and other matters are disclosed in detail in note number 29 in 31 March 2016 financials.
i. SWPL had filed a claim against Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) towards recovery of the amount withheld against supply of energy under Power Purchase Agreement (including penalty on such amount) amounting to US $ 10,922 (2016: US $ 11,008). The facility required for generation of an agreed quantum of power was not ready as per an agreed schedule on account of unexpected factors beyond the control of the Group, the Group proposed to MSEDCL an arrangement to secure the energy from alternate supplies for the short quantity required to meet the obligation under the power purchase agreement. MSEDCL accepted the proposal and also confirmed that the energy supplied from alternate sources will also be subject to the tariff agreed under the power purchase agreement. However, after initial payments for the period April to June 2010, starting July 2010 to October 2010, MSEDCL did not settle the entire dues billed and the certain amounts were withheld without any explanation. The Group contended before Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) that since the energy supplied and billed was as per the terms agreed and the similar bills of earlier months were paid by MSEDCL, there is no cause to withhold the payments. However, MERC has dismissed the petition. The Group has filed an appeal before Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) against the order of MERC and APTEL also rejected the appeal. The Group has filed an appeal before Honourable Supreme Court of India. During the period ended 30 September 2016 the group received an unfavorable ruling on a claim against a state body MSEDCL as it was concluded the claims if allowed were against public interest and accordingly group has impaired and written off the entire claim amount.
ii. KSK Mahanadi, the Group's largest thermal power generation plant with two units fully operational and balance units in various stages of construction and commissioning is engaged in the generation and supply of power to four state utilities of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh under Case 1 competitive bid Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The respective PPAs in addition to the agreed tariff payable for the power supplied contains specific provisions providing for tariff adjustment payment to the generator on account of Change in law. The Change in law provision essentially provides reimbursement mechanism for all additional recurring or non-recurring expenditure incurred by the Generator towards new costs levied / incurred post the bidding point. These claims under the PPA cover both (a) Claim on account of various statutory duties, levies and cess levied by Central or State Governments or its instrumentalities; and (b) linkage coal shortfall compensation with respective to Presidential Directive and Ministry of Power Notification to all Electricity Regulators in India. KSK Mahanadi has made claims pursuant to the above PPA provisions in excess of US $ 237,941, wherein claim pertaining to taxes amounts to US $ 58,841 and claim on account of short supply of coal pursuant to the Presidential Directive amounts to US $ 179,100. However, notwithstanding its eligibility for the full claim as per the PPA, keeping in view the regulatory commitments by the Government instrumentalities, the necessary legal and administrative process that KSK Mahanadi has to pursue, on its internal evaluation of the facts and circumstances of the case on a prudent basis,KSK Mahanadi has recognised a portion of the claim aggregating to US $ 179,021 in the books of accounts until date, wherein US $ 39,613 pertains to the current period. KSK Mahanadi has in its notices to the utilities submitted that it qualifies for the composite scheme guidelines and hence Central Electrical Regulatory Commission (CERC) will be the relevant appropriate authority to adjudicate the matter. While in the earlier period, the claims were to be determined by the State Regulators, pursuant to a recent ruling by the Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (APTEL) with respect to multiple power producers, the jurisdiction of CERC has been reaffirmed. Based on the bid guidelines, the PPA provisions and the legal advice that KSK Mahanadi has obtained, Group has made necessary amendments in its claim petitions and filled before CERC. Based on the legal advice and recent ruling of CERC in similarly placed power project, KSK Mahanadi is confident that the entire claim amount is fully receivable.
