33. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY
ABSORPTION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE
EARNINGS AND OUTGOA) Conservation of energy(i) Steps taken or impact on conservation ofenergy

1. I mplemented advanced power quality
improvement systems, including Static
Var Generators (SVGs) for dynamic
reactive power compensation and
Harmonic Filters (hf) for harmonic
mitigation across its Solar and BESS
plants. These systems improve power
factor, maintain voltage stability,
reduce transformer and cable losses,
minimize harmonic-induced heating,
enhance equipment efficiency, and
optimize auxiliary power consumption,
thereby contributing to overall energy
conservation and reliable grid operation.

2. Adopted energy-efficient HVAC systems
with optimized temperature and
humidity control across substation
control rooms. By maintaining the
required environmental conditions
through intelligent cooling control rather
than continuous full-capacity operation,
the initiative reduces auxiliary energy
consumption, improves equipment
efficiency, enhances asset reliability, and
extends the operational life of critical
protection and automation systems.

3. Deployed mechanised and dry robotic
module-cleaning systems at identified
utility-scale solar projects, including
across approximately 2.9 GWp of the
Rajasthan solar portfolio. These systems
reduce reliance on water-based
cleaning, shorten cleaning cycles and
support consistent module performance
by mitigating soiling losses.

4. Deployed liquid-cooled Battery Energy
Storage Systems (BESS), utilizing high-
efficiency chiller units for precise thermal
management. The liquid cooling system
maintains uniform cell temperatures,
reduces the energy required for cooling

compared to conventional air-cooled
systems, improves battery performance
and lifecycle, and contributes to lower
auxiliary energy consumption and
higher overall system efficiency.

5. Implemented intelligent automation
for auxiliary equipment through timer-
based scheduling and temperature-
driven controls, including automatic
operation of plant lighting and WTI-
based transformer cooling fans. These
measures ensure that auxiliary systems
operate only when required, reducing
unnecessary energy consumption,
optimizing auxiliary power usage, and
improving overall operational efficiency.

6. Deployed autonomous battery-
operated robotic grass mowers for
vegetation management has reduced
dependence on conventional fuel-
operated equipment, lowered energy
consumption and emissions associated
with grass-cutting activities, and
ensured consistent vegetation control to
support efficient solar plant operation.

7. Replaced conventional lighting with
energy-efficient LED lighting across
the boundary areas of its utility-scale
solar power plants. This initiative has
significantly reduced auxiliary power
consumption during night-time
operations while maintaining adequate
site illumination and safety.

8. Adopted naturally cooled outdoor
solar inverters, eliminating the need for
forced ventilation and air-conditioning
systems. This has reduced auxiliary
energy consumption by approximately
3-4% compared to conventional actively
cooled inverter installations.

9. Implemented temperature-sensing
PCB-based intelligent cooling
systems within electrical equipment,
enabling ventilation fans to operate
only when required. This demand-
based cooling approach prevents
unnecessary continuous fan operation,
thereby reducing auxiliary power
consumption and improving equipment
operating efficiency.

(ii) Steps taken for utilizing alternate sources

of energy

1. Deployed autonomous dry robotic
module-cleaning systems, powered

through integrated self-charging solar
panels, at identified solar projects.
These systems operate without external
grid electricity for their routine cleaning
operations and reduce reliance on
water-based module cleaning. Based
on the number of systems deployed
and their expected operating profile,
the Company estimates that the
use of integrated solar charging
avoids approximately 5,214 kWh of
grid electricity consumption per day,
equivalent to approximately 1.9 GWh
annually. This estimate is based on
an average avoided grid electricity
consumption of approximately 500 Wh
per robot per operating day.

2. Dry robotic module cleaning has been
implemented across 2.9 GWp Rajasthan
solar portfolio, eliminating the need for
water-based cleaning.

3. Introduced electric vehicles for selected
inspection, patrolling and maintenance
a ctivities at certa in sola r a nd BESS
facilities. Their use for these activities
has reduced reliance on conventional
petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles and
the associated fossil-fuel consumption
and emissions.

(iii) Capital investment on energy

conservation equipments

NIL

B) technology absorption

Intelligence

Deployed Sanch AI, a third-party AI-powered
Operations Intelligence platform, to enhance
digitalization of renewable energy operations
through AI-assisted operational insights,

(FOIDS)

Implemented a Fibre Optic Intrusion
Detection System (FOIDS) on a pilot basis
for continuous perimeter monitoring,
real-time intrusion detection, and
automated security alerts to strengthen
security across utility-scale renewable
energy assets.

3. AI-Enabled Smart CCTV Surveillance

Implemented Al-enabled Smart CCTV
Surveillance incorporating intelligent
video analytics for automated
monitoring of operational sites, enabling
detection, classification, and tracking of
security events in real time.

4. Renew Analytics Digital Performance
Platform

Implemented the Renew Analytics
Digital Performance Platform to enable
centralized monitoring of operational
KPIs, asset benchmarking, performance
analytics, and portfolio-wide digital
reporting for solar power plants.

the Nomination and Remuneration Committee
approved certain amendments to the ESOP
Scheme, to inter alia: (a) delete provisions that
were applicable only to the pre-listing phase
of the Company; (b) remove references and
procedural provisions which are no longer
relevant after listing; and (c) incorporate certain
administrative clarifications to facilitate efficient
implementation and administration of the ESOP
Scheme in a listed company environment.

Further, in order to align the interests of
employees with those of the Company and its
subsidiary(ies) and/or holding company(ies), and
to attract, retain and incentivize talent across the
group and to create a sense of ownership and
participation amongst them, the benefits of the
ESOP Scheme were proposed to be extended to
eligible employees of the subsidiary(ies) and/or
holding company(ies) of the Company by way of
a separate shareholders' resolution.

Subsequently, the members of the Company
approved (a) the above-mentioned amendments
to the ESOP Scheme and (b) grant of options to
the eligible employees of the subsidiary(ies)

and/or holding company(ies) of the Company
under the ESOP Scheme, through postal ballot on
12^th June 2026.

During the FY 2026, Company has granted 3,911,414
stock options under the ESOP Scheme. A detailed
report with respect to options exercised, vested,
lapsed, exercise price, vesting period is annexed
as Annexure E to this report. Further, the ESOP
Scheme is in compliance with SEBI (Share Based
Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations,
2021 ("SEBI SBEB Regulations"). The Company
formed an irrevocable trust under the name
and style of "ACME Employees Welfare Trust"
for the purpose of administration of the ESOP
Scheme. The ESOP Scheme is implemented and
administered through a trust route for extending
the benefits to the eligible employees.

The certificate from the Secretarial Auditor of
the Company, that the ESOP Scheme has been
implemented in accordance with the SEBI SBEB
Regulations along with the resolutions passed by
the Members, would be available for electronic
inspection by the Members at the ensuing
11^th AGM.
