2.14 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets:
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, 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).
Contingent liability
A possible obligation that arises from past events and 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 enterprise are disclosed as contingent liability and not provided for Such liability is not disclosed if the possibility of outflow of resources 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 entity.
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.15 Financial instruments:
Financial assets
i) Classification of financial assets (including debt instruments)
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
- those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
ii) Initial measurement
Financial assets (excluding trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to the fair value of the financial assets, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
iii) Subsequent measurement
There are three measurement categories into which the debt instruments can be classified:
• Amortised cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/ (losses). Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit and loss.
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains / (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains and losses and impairment expenses in other expenses. The Company currently does not have any debt instruments which are measured at FVOCI.
• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss within other gains / (losses) in the period in which it arises. Net gains / (losses) from these financial assets is included in other income.
iv) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss and always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses to measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days past due. The Company has segmented the customers based on shared risk attributes, i.e. Government Consumers / Non-Government consumers, Status of Consumers i.e. Live consumers / Disconnected consumers and Security deposits provided by the Consumer
v) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
When the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control over the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
vi) Income recognition
Dividend is accounted when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as part of other income.
Interest on overdue receivables of energy bills and claims including insurance claims, coal cost variation and other claims etc. are accounted when there is a certainty of recovery.
vii) Derivative and Hedge accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward contacts to hedge its risks associated with foreign exchange fluctuation and price risk movement. Risks associated with fluctuation in the price of the fuel are minimized by undertaking appropriate derivative instruments.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of profit and loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and nature of hedged items.
Derivative financial instruments that hedges commodity price risk associated with highly probable forecasted transactions are designated as cash flow hedges and measured at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading cash flow hedging reserve within equity, and re-classified to the statement of profit and loss in the period corresponding to the occurrence of the forecasted transactions. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
Hedge effectiveness is tested both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis. The Company documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether the changes in the cash flows of the hedging instrument are expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or when it is sold, terminated or exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting and the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
Derivatives embedded in a host contract that is an asset within the scope of Ind AS 109 are not separated. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety while determining their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Derivatives embedded in all other host contract are separated only if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives closely related to the host contracts are not separated.
Financial liabilities
i) Classification
All the Company's financial liabilities except for Derivative liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
ii) Initial measurement
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of financial liabilities are deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
iii) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate Method.
The Effective Interest Rate Method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability.
iv) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or waived off or have expired. An exchange between the Company and the lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
v) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
2.16 Contributed equity:
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Transaction costs of an equity transaction are deducted from other equity (net of tax).
2.17 Leases:
Company as a lessee
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components.
Lease liabilities
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the lease payments.
The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability and lease payments made before the commencement date.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise small items of office equipment including IT equipment.
2.18 Investment in perpetual securities:
Investments in Unsecured subordinated perpetual debt instruments that are repayable solely at the option of the issuer, have no fixed maturity, provide for non-cumulative distributions payable at the discretion of the issuer and do not create a contractual obligation for the issuer to repay the principal or pay distributions, are classified by the issuer as equity instruments in accordance with Ind AS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation. In its separate financial statements, the Company measures for such investments in subsidiaries at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements and disclosed as "Investment in perpetual debt instrument”.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount and ecognized an impairment loss, if any, in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Income
Distribution income from Unsecured subordinated perpetual debt instruments, in the form of distributions declared by the issuer, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as dividend income when the Company's right to receive the distribution is established.
2.19 Amount presented and rounding off:
All amounts in the financial statements and notes have been presented in C Crore (except for share data) rounded to two decimals as per the requirement of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Figures below C 50,000 are denoted by '*'.
2.20 Government grants:
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the attached conditions.
Government grants relating to income are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to purchase of property, plant and equipment whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire property, plant and equipment are recognised as deferred revenue in the balance sheet and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
2.21 Investment properties:
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from its current use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
2.22 Intangible assets - acquired:
Computer software is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and the effect of any changes in such estimate is accounted for on a prospective basis.
Expenditure incurred on acquisition of intangible assets which are not ready to use at the reporting date is disclosed under "Intangible assets under development”.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Note 3: Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under note 2 above, the management of 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.
Such estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future periods.
3.1 Revenue recognition:
The Company has recognised revenue (including the adjustment in respect of unapproved FPPPA claims and other true up adjustment claims) as per the applicable tariff regulations / tariff orders, management's probability estimate and the past trends of approval. The company has not recognized those truing up adjustment claims which are disputed and for which the company is in appeal with regulatory authorities. These are recognised on receipt of final orders of respective regulatory authorities [Refer note 36 & 44]. However, for certain Disputed cases [Refer note 44(a)(2)(i)], where the Company believes it has strong case, the Company continues to recognise those truing up claims.
3.2 Property, plant and equipment:
(i) Service concession arrangements
The Company has assessed applicability of Appendix C of Ind AS 115 "Service Concession Arrangements” with respect to its Property, plant and equipment. In assessing the applicability, the Company has exercised judgment in relation to the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003, conditions provided under transmission and distribution license and / or agreements. Further, the Company has ability to pledge the assets pursuant to which it has control and ability to direct the use of assets. Based on such assessment, it has concluded that Appendix C of Ind AS 115 is not applicable.
(ii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Determining whether property, plant and equipment are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow model over the estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to expected demand, future price of fuel, expected tariff rates for electricity, discount rate, exchange rate and electricity market scenario, based on past trends and the current and likely future state of the industry etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management. Any reasonable possible change in the underlying assumptions would not lead to a material change to the amount of impairment. [Refer note 42(1)].
3.3 Impairment of investments in subsidiaries:
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments in subsidiaries when there is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for Investments in subsidiaries carried at cost are tested for impairment. The carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount, any impairment loss recognised reduces the carrying amount of the investment. The recoverable amount calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow model over the estimated useful life of its single asset of the Subsidiary.
Impairment of loans
The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for loans granted by the Company to its subsidiaries.
3.4 Taxes:
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies, including estimates of temporary differences reversing on account of available benefits from the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets for unused tax credits that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits [Refer note 43(d)]
3.5 Contingencies:
Contingent liabilities
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 crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognised. Potential liabilities that are remote are neither recognized nor disclosed as contingent liability. The management judgement is involved in classification under 'remote', 'possible' or 'probable' which is carried out based on expert advice, past judgements, experiences etc. [Refer note 45(a)]
3.6 Employee benefit plans:
Defined benefit plans and other long-term employee benefits
The present value of obligations under defined benefit plan and other long-term employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual development in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary escalations, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, these obligations are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Information about the various estimates and assumptions made in determining present value of defined benefit obligation are disclosed in note 49.2.
1 The above capital work-in-progress have been mortgaged and hypothecated to secure borrowings of the Company [Refer note 26].
2 Capital work-in-progress include borrowing costs of C 14.57 Crore (March 31, 2025 - C 10.21 Crore), which are directly attributable to purchase / construction of qualifying assets in accordance with Ind AS - 23 "Borrowing Costs".

5 Additions to capital work-in-progress includes capitalisation of directly attributable costs incurred by the Company under various headings.
6 Refer note 61 for ageing schedule of the capital work-in-progress.
The fair value of the Company's investment property has been arrived based on a valuation report by external independent valuer, who is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered valuers and valuation) Rules 2017. Valuation is based on government rates, market research, market trend and comparable values as considered appropriate.
3 The Company has no restrictions on the realisability or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposal of its investment properties. There are no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop such investment properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements thereof.

3 The Company has invested in unsecured subordinated perpetual debt instruments issued by its subsidiary companies. These debt instrument are redeemable solely at the option of the issuer. This carries non¬ cumulative distributions payable at the discretion of the issuer and do not create a contractual obligation for the issuer to repay the principal or pay distributions. The rate of distribution, if declared, is linked to the rate of dividend declared by the issuers on its ordinary shares for the respective financial year
4 On June 05, 2025, the Company had entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Sarawagi Family and related HUFs (the Seller) for the acquisition of 100% share capital of Newzone India Private Limited (NZIPL) and Newzone Power Projects Private Limited (NZPPL) (Collectively referred as "Newzone Group"), for implementation of thermal power project in the Annupur District of Madhya Pradesh.

Note 10: Investments in subsidiaries (Contd.)
8 During the previous year, Company had given corporate guarantees in favour of lender of indirect subsidiary company, Airpower Windfarms Private Limited (AWPL) and has recognised fair value of corporate guarantee as equity investment in Torrent Green Energy Private Limited (holding company of AWPL), subsidiary company.
9 The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting dated February 04, 2025, has approved transfer of its equity investments in its 34 subsidiaries to Torrent Green Energy Private Limited (TGEPL), which is a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company. Considering the transfer is between Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, it is transferred at the cost. The Company has transferred the said equity shares in March 2025. The total consideration for this transfer was to C 1,365.93 Crore.
10 During the previous years, the Company has provided corporate guarantees to the lenders of various subsidiary companies. The fair value of these guarantees initially has been recognised as equity investments in the respective subsidiaries amounting to C 57.04 Crore. Pursuant to the transfer (Refer the note above) of its equity investments in such subsidiaries to Torrent Green Energy Private Limited, the fair value of these corporate guarantees has been considered as an equity investment in Torrent Green Energy Private Limited.
11 The Company carries its investments in subsidiaries (in the form of equity shares and unsecured perpetual debt) at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 'Separate Financial Statements'. At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are any indications that such investments may be impaired, in accordance with Ind AS 36 'Impairment of Assets'.
Certain subsidiaries have incurred losses in the current and previous years, which the management has considered as indicators of impairment. Accordingly, the Company has performed impairment assessments in respect of such investments.
For the purpose of impairment testing, each investment in subsidiary is assessed as a single asset, as the recoverable amount of the underlying investee is considered to be reflective of the value of the investment. The recoverable amount has been determined based on value-in-use calculations using discounted cash flow models.
These models incorporate cash flow projections over the remaining useful economic life of the underlying renewable energy assets, taking into account:
• Estimated plant load factor (PLF) based on historical performance, expected operating conditions;
• Discount rate of 7.25% reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the respective subsidiaries.
The determination of recoverable amount involves significant judgement, particularly in respect of the above assumptions. Management has also performed sensitivity analyses on key assumptions, including PLF and discount rate, to assess the impact of reasonably possible changes. Based on such analyses, management has assessed that there is headroom between the recoverable amounts and the carrying values of the respective investments, and that reasonably possible changes in key assumptions would not result in impairment.
Based on the impairment assessments performed, management has concluded that the carrying values of investments in subsidiaries are appropriate as at March 31, 2026, and no impairment provision is required.
Management reviews the underlying assumptions periodically and updates the assessments to reflect changes in economic conditions, regulatory environment, and operational performance.
1 The Company has, jointly with Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited, promoted section 8 company, i.e. UNM Foundation, under the Companies Act, 2013 for the purpose of carrying out charitable activities. On March 30, 2026, the Company has transferred the 50,000 equity shares of UNM Foundation to Torrent Investments Limited (formerly known as Torrent Investments Private Limited), Parent Company. Considering the transfer is between the Company and its Parent Company, it is transferred at the cost. The Company has transferred the said equity shares in March 2026 for total consideration of C 0.05 Crore.
1 Loans to related parties are financial assets measured in accordance with Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments' and are subject to impairment assessment using the expected credit loss (ECL) model.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors, including the financial performance of the borrowing subsidiaries, projected cash flows, and their ability to meet contractual obligations.
In performing the ECL assessment, management has considered:
• The current financial position and historical performance of the borrowing subsidiaries;
• Future cash flow projections derived from the same assumptions used for impairment testing of investments, including PLF;
• The terms and conditions of the loan arrangements, including repayment schedules and their alignment with the cash generation profile of the subsidiaries; and
• The Company's intent and ability to provide ongoing financial support to its subsidiaries, where relevant, in the context of its investment strategy.
Based on the above assessment, management has concluded that the credit risk associated with these loans has not significantly increased since initial recognition and that the expected credit losses are not material. Accordingly, no impairment provision has been recognised as at March 31,2026.
Management continues to monitor the performance of the borrowing entities and reassesses the ECL at each reporting date, considering any changes in facts and circumstances.

Note 42: Impairment assessment
(1) DGEN Power Plant
Net carrying value of Property, plant & equipment ("PPE”) (including Capital work in progress) and Right-of-Use assets ("ROU”) as at March 31, 2026 includes C 1,114.62 Crore (March 31, 2025: C 1,176.70 Crore) pertaining to 1,200 MW DGEN Mega Power Project located at Dahej, Gujarat including its Transmission Line ("DGEN”). DGEN started commercial operations with effect from November 2014 and thereafter had operated only intermittently / partially including the current year due to various factors such as unavailability of domestic gas, high prices of imported gas and non-availability of power selling arrangement.
In view of the above and given the current economic environment, the Company had carried out an impairment assessment of DGEN as at March 31,2026 by considering the recoverable amount based on value-in-use of DGEN in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 36 'Impairment of Assets'. Value-in-use is determined considering a discount rate of 13.50% (March 31, 2025 - 14 %) and cash flow projections over a period of 14 years (March 31, 2025 - 15 years), being the balance useful life of DGEN in terms of Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2024 on the basis that the Company expects to supply power in the future. Based on the assessment, recoverable value of PPE and ROU by using value-in-use is C 1,251.00 Crore (March 31,2025: C 1,325.94 Crore) which is higher than the carrying amount of PPE and ROU of C 1,114.62 Crore (March 31, 2025: C 1,176.70 Crore) and accordingly no additional impairment loss is required as at March 31,2026. The management has conducted sensitivity analysis on impairment test of the value in use of DGEN. The management believes that reasonable possible change in key assumptions would not materially impact the impairment assessment as at March 31,2026.
During the earlier years, the Company has provided for impairment loss of C 2,300.00 Crore (March 31, 2025: C 2,300.00 Crore).
Assessment of 'value-in-use' involves several key assumptions including expected demand, future price of fuel, expected tariff rates for electricity, discount rate, exchange rate and electricity market scenario, based on past trends and the current and likely future state of the industry. Management reviews such assumptions periodically to factor updated information based on events or changes in circumstances in order to make fresh assessment of impairment, if any.
(2) Investment in Torrent Pipavav Generation Limited
Torrent Pipavav Generation Limited ("TPGL"), a subsidiary of the Company and a joint venture between the Company and Gujarat Power Corporation Limited ("GPCL'), had made payments in nature of compensation for acquisition of private land as per the court orders in Amreli, Gujarat for the purpose of developing a coal-based power plant of 1,000 MW. Due to non-availability of fuel linkage, Government of Gujarat ("GoG”) vide its letter dated December 06, 2017, communicated that the said project may not be developed and accordingly, the joint venture is intended to be dissolved. Further, as per the said letter, the cost of land would be reimbursed after the disposal of land.
During the previous year, TPGL received amount of C 103.18 Crore from GPCL towards the cost incurred for acquisition of aforesaid land and other expenses incurred in prior years. Considering the above facts, assets and liabilities are reflected at their net realisable values or cost whichever is lower and the financial statements of TPGL for year ended March 31,2026 and March 31,2025 have been prepared on a non - going concern basis.
Considering the above facts, Management has reversed the impairment provision of C Nil (March 31, 2025: C 7.15 Crore) for Carrying amount of equity of C 35.95 Crore (March 31,2025: C 35.95 Crore) net of impairment C 11.55 Crore after above reversal.
Note 43: Income tax expense (Contd.)
Footnote:
Year ended March 31, 2026
Previously, the Company has applied 25.168% for temporary differences expected to reverse post-transition to new tax regime and 34.944% for those reversing earlier to measure deferred taxes.
In view of newly introduced provisions under the Finance Act, 2026, which permit the utilization of accumulated Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit up to March 31, 2026 against future tax liabilities, Company is going to adopt the concessional income tax regime as per Section 200 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from FY 2026-27.
Consequently, all deferred tax balances expected to reverse from FY 2026-27 onwards have been remeasured at the concessional rate of 25.168%. This remeasurement has resulted in a net reversal of deferred tax liabilities amounting to C 81.92 Crore, which has been recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the current year.
Year ended March 31, 2025
During the previous year, the Company had received Income tax refunds (including interest income) of C 427 Crore pertaining to earlier years on account of various favourable tax orders and as a result of which its accumulated minimum alternative tax (MAT) credit balance as per book has utilised substantially. The Management has made an assessment of the amount of taxable income that would be available in future to offset the accumulated MAT credit entitlement available to the Company in the foreseeable future.
In view of the same, the management has carried out detailed assessment of deferred tax on temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the period in which the Company would be under the new tax regime and accordingly applied the new income tax rate of 25.168% as compared to the existing income tax rate of 34.944% for measuring the said deferred tax in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 12 - 'Income Taxes'. This has resulted in reversal of deferred tax liabilities by C 637.09 Crore during the previous year.
(3) Unrecognised deferred tax assets
There is no MAT credit which is unrecognised as at March 31,2026 and March 31, 2025.
Management has made an assessment of the amount of taxable income that would be available in future to offset the Accumulated MAT credit entitlement available to the Company.
The assessment of taxable income involved several key assumptions including expected demand, future price of fuel, expected tariff rate for electricity, exchange rate and electricity market scenario, which the management considered reasonable based on past trends, applicable tariff regulations / agreements and current and likely future state of the industry.
Note 44: Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(a) Unbilled revenue
(1) Revenue from Power Supply also includes unbilled revenue towards FPPPA claims and other true up adjustments which is recognised considering applicable tariff regulations / tariff orders, past trends of approval and management's probability estimate.
The Company has not recognized those true up adjustment claims which are subject of dispute and for which the Company is in appeal with regulatory authorities. These are recognised on receipt of final orders of respective regulatory authorities.
Footnote:
1 The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) while carrying out tariff true up order for FY 2018- 19, FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 for Company's license distribution business, has erroneously considered accrued revenue of C 933.67 Crore (Previous year C 1,596.00 Crore) as realized revenue. The Company has filed review petitions / appeals before GERC / APTEL (Appellate Tribunal for Electricity) for FY 2018-19 and FY 2023-24 which are pending for disposal. The Company is in process of filing the review petitions with GERC for FY 2024-25. The management of the Company believes it has a strong case and does not expect any significant reversal of revenue.
(b) Contribution received from consumers
(1) Nature of contribution received from consumers
Contributions received from consumers towards property, plant and equipment has been recognised as deferred revenue over its useful life.
The Company has evaluated the impact of Supreme Court ("SC") judgement dated February 28, 2019 in the case of Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal v/s Vivekananda Vidyamandir and Others, in relation to exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages” of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to Provident Fund ("PF”) under the Employees' Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. There are interpretation issues relating to the said SC judgement. Based on such evaluation, management has concluded that effect of the aforesaid judgement on the Company is not material and accordingly, no provision has been made in the Standalone financial statements.
# The Company has received demand order dated March 27, 2026 from Office of Additional Commissioner, Agra-Lucknow, CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) demanding C 189.42 Crore (including penalty of C 94.71 Crores) under Goods and Services Tax (GST) for the period from April 2019 to September 2024 in relation to GST on rent on electricity distribution transformers and on incidental and ancillary services.
In relation to GST on rent on the said transformers, based on accounting carried out by Agra Nagar Nigam (ANN) for rent receivable on transformers from the Company, demand has been raised by the department, however no invoices has been raised by ANN on the Company. Subsequently Company has received letter dated March 31,2026 issued by Under Secretary, UP government to ANN confirming that rent shall not be applicable on transformers installed by the Company for the electricity distribution. In response to this, Company has received letter dated May 04, 2026 issued by ANN to Under Secretary, UP Government stating that they are in process of reversing the rent receivable from the Company.
In relation to GST on incidental and ancillary services, no tax is leviable on incidental and ancillary services in course of transmission and distribution of electricity by the Company as clarified vide Notification No. 08/2024-Integrated Tax (Rate) dated October 08, 2024 read with Circular No. 236/30/2024-GST dated October 11, 2024.
The Company has filled an application for rectification of mistake in final order under section 161 of the Central/Uttar Pradesh Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 before the additional commissioner of CGST & CE, Agra on April 07, 2026. In view of this, no provision for GST liability has been made by the Company.
Note 45: Contingent liabilities and capital commitments (Contd.)

Note 49: Employee benefits plan
49.1 Defined contribution plan
The Company has defined contribution retirement benefit plans for its employees.
The Company's contributions to provident fund, pension scheme and employee state insurance scheme are made to the relevant government authorities as per the prescribed rules and regulations. The Company's superannuation scheme for qualifying employees is administered through its various superannuation trust funds. The Company's contributions to the above defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss for the year in which they are due. The Company has no further obligation in respect of such plans beyond the contributions made.
The Company's contribution to provident, pension, superannuation funds and to employees state insurance scheme aggregating to C 50.12 Crore (Previous year - C 49.47 Crore) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense [Refer note 38].
49.2 Defined benefit plans
(a) Gratuity
The Company operates through various gratuity trust, a plan, covering all its employees. The benefit payable is the greater of the amount calculated as per the New Labour codes / Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or the Company scheme applicable to the employee. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of continuous service and once vested it is payable to employees on retirement or on termination of employment. The gratuity benefits payable to the employees are based on the tenure of employee's service and last drawn salary at the time of leaving. The employees do not contribute towards this plan and the full cost of providing these benefits are met by the Company. In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective of vesting.
The Company makes annual contribution to the gratuity schemes administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India through its various Gratuity Trust Funds. The liability in respect of plan is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation. [Refer note 49.4].
(b) Risk exposure to defined benefit plans
The plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: asset volatility, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk as described below:
Asset volatility
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on Indian government securities; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out at March 31,2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
(f) Category wise plan assets
Contributions to fund the obligations under the gratuity plan are made to the Life Insurance Corporation of India, who has invested the funds substantially in the government securities.
(g) Sensitivity analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis given below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
(h) The weighted average duration of the gratuity plan based on average future service is 16 years (Previous year - 16 years).
(i) Expected contribution to the plan for the next annual reporting period is C 21.16 Crore (Previous year - C 11.98 Crore).
(j) Cash flow projection from the fund
Projected benefits payable in future years from the date of reporting
49.3 Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The leave obligation covers the Company's liability for sick and earned leave. Under these compensated absences plans, leave encashment is payable to all eligible employees on separation from the Company due to death, retirement or resignation; at the rate of daily last drawn salary, multiplied by leave days accumulated as at the end of relevant period. Refer notes 34 and 38 for the leave encashment provision / charge in the balance sheet and statement of profit and loss.
494 Labour code
The Government of India has consolidated 29 existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four labour codes viz the Code on Wages, 2019, the Code on Social Security, 2020, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (collectively referred to as the 'Codes'). The Codes have been made effective from November 21, 2025. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations.
The incremental impact of these changes, assessed by the Company, on the basis of the information available, consistent with the guidance provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, is not material in the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31,2026. Once Central / State Rules are notified by the Government on all aspects of the Codes, the Company will evaluate impact, if any, on the measurement of employee benefits and would provide appropriate accounting treatment.
Note 54: Operating segments
The chief operating decision maker (CODM) evaluates the Company's performance and applies the resources to whole of the Company's business viz. "Generation, Renewables, Transmission and Distribution of Power". In accordance with Ind AS - 108 "Operating Segments", the Company has disclosed the segment information in the Consolidated financial statements and therefore no separate disclosure of segment information is given in the standalone financial statement.
(a) Capital management
The Company manages its capital structure in a manner to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while optimising the return to stakeholders through the appropriate debt and equity balance.
The Company's capital structure is represented by equity (comprising equity shares, retained earnings and other reserves as detailed in notes 24, 25) and debt (borrowings as detailed in note 26).
The Company's management reviews the capital structure of the Company on an annual basis. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Company's plan is to ensure that the gearing ratio (debt equity ratio) is well within the limit of 21. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or process for managing its capital during the year ended March 31,2026 and March 31, 2025The Company reviews its Dividend policy from time to time.
Footnotes:
1 Debt is defined as all long term debt outstanding [including unamortised expense (net of premium)] contingent liability pertaining to corporate / financial guarantee given (to the extent utilised) short term debt outstanding in lieu of long term debt.
2 Total equity is defined as equity share capital all reserve (excluding revaluation reserve) deferred tax liabilities - deferred tax assets - intangible assets - Intangible assets under development
Loan Covenants
The company has complied with financial covenants specified as per the terms of borrowing facilities.
Footnotes:
1 The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors, cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets and other financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
2 Non current loan carries the interest rates that are variable in nature and hence carrying value is considered as same as fair value.
(c) Fair value measurement
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are
either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
Level 1: Inputs are Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
This includes investments in mutual funds that have quoted price.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable. This includes unquoted floating and fixed rate borrowing and Investment property.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable. This includes unquoted equity shares, loans, security deposits, investments in perpetual debt, floating rate borrowings.
(d) Financial risk management objectives
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, employee payables, security deposits from consumers, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and projects capital expenditure. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, advances, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks viz foreign currency risk, commodity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk etc. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. It advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and EURO. Foreign currency risks arise from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, when they are denominated in a currency other than Indian Rupee.
The Company's exposure with regards to foreign currency risk which are not hedged are given below.
Unhedged foreign currency exposures:
Commodity price risk
The commodity exposure is mainly on account of fuel, a substantial part of which is a pass through cost and hence the commodity price exposure is not likely to have a material financial impact on the Company.
The Company purchases natural gas for use in Power Generation at its gas based power plants and for trading. The pricing of natural gas can be fixed or linked to international benchmark such as Dated Brent. The extant tariff regulations do not permit the cost of hedging such exposure as a cost to be passed through to the long term off-takers / beneficiaries. As a result, the Company does not follow a policy of hedging such exposures and actual rupee costs of import of fuel are substantially passed on to the long term off-takers / consumers, because of which such commodity price exposure is not likely to have a material financial impact on the Company.
Derivatives
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as commodity price swaps contract, foreign exchange forwards to hedge its risks associated with price risk movements. Risks associated with fluctuation in the price of the natural gas are minimized by undertaking appropriate derivative instruments. The fair values of all such derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date.
Cashflow hedge that qualify for hedge accounting
The future purchases of natural gas for trading are subject to market price risk, which the company hedges using suitable hedging strategy as per approved Commodity Price Risk Management Policy with critical terms matching the terms of the forecast purchase.
Brent crude oil is a separately identifiable component of the forecast purchase because it is explicitly specified in the supply contract price. As there is a market for Brent crude oil price swaps, the exposure is considered to be reliably measurable. Accordingly, the Brent crude oil price swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of the forecast purchases of fuel. Historically, the Brent crude oil component has accounted for 82% to 85% of the cost of fuel supplied.
Hedge Ineffectiveness
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
For hedges of commodity price risk, the company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item. The company therefore performs a qualitative assessment of effectiveness. If changes in circumstances affect the terms of the hedged item such that the critical terms no longer match exactly with the critical terms of the hedging instrument, the company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness.
The Company enters into commodity Price swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as benchmark rate, payment dates, maturities and notional amount. The company does not hedge 100% of its forecast transactions, and so the hedged item is identified as a proportion of the forecase transactions up to the notional amount of the swaps. Since all critical terms matched during the year, there is economic relationship between hedging instrument and hedged item.
The Company uses hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness based on "lower off” assessment. It compares the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument with the change in the fair value or cash flows of a hypothetical derivative that models the hedged risk. Sources of Hedge ineffectiveness for commodity price risk are Critical terms mismatch, Credit Risk adjustment.
Interest rate risk
The Company's borrowings are on fixed and floating rate of interest. The Company has exposure to interest rate risk, arising principally on changes in Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR). The Company uses a mix of interest rate sensitive financial instruments to manage the liquidity and fund requirements for its day to day operations like non-convertible debentures and short term credit lines besides internal accruals.
The following table provides a break-up of the Company's fixed and floating rate borrowings:
Interest rate risk sensitivity:
The below mentioned sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rates for floating rate borrowings. For this it is assumed that the amount of the floating rate liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower, other variables being held constant, following is the impact on profit before tax.
Credit risk Trade receivables:
(1) Exposures to credit risk
The Company is exposed to the counterparty credit risk arising from the possibility that counterparties might fail to comply with contractual obligations. This exposure may arise with regard to unsettled amounts.
(2) Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed and limited in accordance with the type of transaction and the creditworthiness of the counterparty. The Company has established criteria for admission, approval systems, authorisation levels, exposure measurement methodologies, etc. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large. None of the customers accounted for more than 10% of the receivables and revenue for the year ended March 31, 2026 and March 31,2025. The Company is dependent on the domestic market for its business and revenues.

In respect to generation business, Company generally has letter of credits / bank guarantees to limit its credit exposure.
(3) Other credit enhancements
The Company collects the security deposits in the form of Cash or Bank guarantee, considering the relevant electricity regulations under the relevant geographical area to cover its credit risks associated with its trade receivables.
(4) Age of receivables and expected credit loss
The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The expected credit loss allowance is based on ageing of the days the receivables are due. Trade receivable balances mainly comprise of outstanding from consumers wherein the credit period provided to such consumers is less than 30 days. Based on the historical trend the same is collected well within the credit period.
The Company segments the receivables for the purpose of determining historical loss rate based on shared risk characteristics i.e. Government Consumers / Non Government consumers, Status of Consumers i.e. Live consumers / Disconnected consumers and Security deposits provided by the Consumer Considering the nature of the business, the historical loss rate is not significant.

The Company's investment policy lays down guidelines with respect to exposure per counterparty, rating, processes in terms of control and continuous monitoring. The Company therefore considers credit risks on such investments to be negligible. The credit loss from Loans receivable from related parties and financial guarantees is considered immaterial. The recoverable amount of unbilled revenue (including revenue gap/surplus) perceives low credit risk of default considering applicable tariff regulations / tariff orders, management's probability estimate and the past trends of approval.
Liquidity risk
