FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

During the year, the Company reported its highest ever Profit after Tax of Rs.6968.000 millions, a growth of 14.13% as against Rs. 6105.400 millions for the previous year. The Operating Revenue is however higher only by 4% at Rs. 47153.200 millions due to certain adjustments, explained below.

 

The Company has received favourable assessments/orders pertaining to its Mumbai Licence Area (Mumbai LA) relating to previous years and therefore reversed tax provisions aggregating Rs.1817.400 millions. In accordance with the Regulations, Rs. 2239.400 millions (which includes Rs.1817.400 millions of tax adjustment) has been considered as a rebate. This rebate has been debited to revenue and consumers in the Mumbai LA will be given a share of this amount as may be decided by the MERC. The impact of these reversals will be incorporated by the MERC in the future tariff order. The drop in Operating Profit and Profit before Tax is essentially due to the above rebate being provided for in the books of account. Without this adjustment, the revenue from Power business registered a growth of 11%uueto higher volume sold coupled with higher recoverable fuel and power purchase costs, recognised as revenue in the Mumbai LA and due to the full year operation of the Jojobera Unit 4 during the year.

 

Consequent to the Company commissioning new wind farms, Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) is applicable for the year. Earnings per Share (Basic) showed an increase of 17.19 % to Rs.34.02 Millions as against Rs.29.03 Millions in the previous year.

With the commissioning of this line, four regions namely Northern, Eastern, North-Eastern and Western regions are now in synchronous mode. Powerlinks in its first year of operations has earned revenues of Rs. 1350.100 millions and a profit after tax of Rs. 205.700 millions. Powerlinks has declared a maiden dividend of 1.8% for FY 07. Powerlinks has been felicitated with "ENpower Awards 2006" for being adjudged as "India's Best Corporation" in the category - Project Management for the Transmission and Distribution sector.

 

Tata Power Trading Company Limited (TPTCL)

TPTCL traded 1,205 MUs during the year as compared to 675 MUs in the previous year, thereby resulting in an increase in its revenues by 191% to Rs. 6037.600 millions from Rs. 2077.600 millions in the previous year. Profit after tax also increased to Rs. 38.400 millions as against Rs. 31.800 millions in the previous year. The operations have been expanded to cover the entire country including the North-Eastern states. TPTCL declared a dividend of 20% for the year FY 07 on its equity shares. The trading business has been subject to a capon the profit per traded unit by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission in the year. This has been contested by major power traders in the country and a final verdict on the same is awaited.

 

Financing

As a step towards meeting its funding requirements, the Company has proposed to make a preferential issue of Equity Shares and Warrants to Tata Sons Limited in accordance with the Chapter XIII of the SEBI (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2000 (SEBI DIP Guidelines). The preferential issue comprises equity shares not exceeding 98,94,000 of Rs. 10 each in FY 08 and warrants not exceeding 1,03,89,000 with an option to subscribe to 1 Equity Share of Rs. 10 each per warrant which option shall be exercisable after 1st April, 2008 but not later than 18 months from the date of issue of the warrants. The Company expects to raise approximately Rs. 12000.000 millions through this issue in FY 08 and FY 09. The above mentioned Equity Shares will be eligible for dividend for FY 07, once the Equity Shares are issued, subscribed and allotted to Tata Sons Limited. The Company is considering various options to meet its funding requirements and is well positioned to raise the required borrowing from the overseas and domestic market. During the year, the Company raised a long-term loan from Infrastructure Development Finance Company Limited of Rs. 4500.000 millions to meet its capex requirements and Commercial Papers of Rs. 5000.000 millions were placed with domestic mutual funds. After the end of financial year, the Company has also finalised a rupee denominated loan of Rs. 3000.000 millions from Asian Development Bank and Indian Renewal Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) to fund its new Wind project in Maharashtra.

 

The Company's long-term debt paper continues to be rated high by credit rating agencies. However, the credit rating agencies have put the Company on credit watch with negative implications/ negative outlook/ review for a possible down grade, mainly following the Company's decision to acquire equity in Indonesian coal companies and the execution of the Mundra UMPP. The rating agencies will take a final view as and when the full details of the projects and funding arrangements are finalized. The credit rating agencies also believe that the Company's competitive position, adequate liquidity, favourable debt maturity profile and good access to financial resources mitigate some of the pressure on the ratings.

 

 

REGULATORY MANAGEMENT

 

Tariff Order for FY 07

The MERC passed a tariff order in October, 06 in which it disapproved a part of the actual expenditure incurred for the years FY 05 and FY 06. The Company had filed a review and clarification petition with MERC, which was subsequently disposed off by MERC. In the said order, MERC maintained its earlier stand. The Company is of the view, supported by legal opinion, that the aforesaid order can be successfully challenged and has therefore filed an appeal with Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) against the above order. In light of the appeal, no adjustments, have been made in the accounts for the current year in respect of these items.

 

Multi Year Tariff (MYT) for FY 08 to FY 10

For Tariff determination, MERC has adopted MYT principle for the licensees in Maharashtra. The Company had submitted its Annual Revenue Requirement and Tariff proposal for FY 08 to FY 10. MERC issued Tariff Orders for the Company's Generation, Transmission and Distribution businesses covering the tariff for FY 08 and performance parameters for the years FYOStoFY 10.

 

Standby Charges

The Company and REL filed Appeals before ATE against the Order dated 31st May, 2004 passed by MERC on the sharing of standby charges between the Company and REL for the period from 1st April, 1999 to 31st March, 2004. The ATE set aside the MERC order and had directed the Company to refund a sum of Rs. 3540.000 millions to REL along with interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the amount from 1st April, 2004 till the date of payment.

 

On an appeal filed by the Company, the Supreme Court has stayed the operation of the ATE order. However, the Supreme Court has directed the Company to deposit an amount of Rs. 2270.000 millions and submit a bank guarantee for an equal amount, which the Company has complied with. The date for the hearing is not yet being fixed.

 

Distribution Licence in Mumbai

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 Power Sector in India

Enactment of The Electricity Act, 2003, has brought about various policy and regulatory initiatives. The Government of India (Gol) has finalised and issued the Rural Electrification Policy recently with an objective to provide electricity to all households by 2009. This is in addition to two other important policies viz. the National Electricity Policy and the National Tariff Policy that were issued last year. The National Electricity Plan, which was to be firmed up in 2005 by the Central Electricity Authority, is, however, yet to be finalised. The Central and the State regulatory institutions in the country are seen to be getting more forward looking and have processed various regulatory orders on Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR), Tariff formulation including Multi Year Tariffs, Open Access, Intrastate Availability Based Tariff etc. The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) has also become active and functional as a body to address grievances against the orders of Central and State Commissions. The Indian power sector appears to be progressing well on the policy initiative and regulation front. The key to Indian reform is improving efficiencies in the power distribution sector. While the Regulatory Commissions are pressing for faster reduction of Aggregate Technical and Commercial (ATandC) losses, its implementation and results are slow. It is in this regard that the Central Government, the Prime Minister's Office and the Planning Commission have been highlighting this aspect through the Chief Ministers and the Chief Secretaries conferences. This is expected to evolve consensus on the reforms model, particularly on the need to curb commercial losses in the distribution segment of business. As has been the experience, strong political support is needed to achieve the desired results and ensure fiscal sustenance of the sector. In addition to the above, the institutionalisation of the competitive bidding process for capacity addition in generation as well as transmission projects, with the Centre/States offering green-field ventures with key clearances in place would encourage investments, bring competitive tariffs for the benefit of consumers and see quicker execution of projects.

 

With visible progress on the legislative, administrative and policy front, close monitoring of implementation at senior levels of concerned Governments is critical to bridge the burgeoning demand-supply gap and to support 8-10% GDP growth targets of the Indian economy.

 

Generation

This year marked the end of the 10th Five Year Plan. About 21,200 MW of capacity got added in the 10th Plan against a target of 41,100 MW - 52% of target. In comparison, China has installed 1,05,000 MW in 2006. Focused efforts are thus required to implement the targeted 2,12,000 MW by 2012, up from the existing capacity of 1,32,000 MW. The bidding for two of the nine planned Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP) viz. Mundra and Sasan was completed early this year. The Company, one of the winning bidders, has already moved ahead with the project. From concept to award, the Gol facilitated the process completion in six months. Similar thus would help expeditious capacity addition. Above all,the participation of major private sector players in the bidding process has vindicated the quest for the Gol's initiative for low tariff ultra mega projects. Successful and timely moves on these projects will greatly help in mitigating the prevailing power shortage in the

country.

 

Encouraged by the success of the UMPP route followed by the Gol, many States are initiating the process of

inviting bids for mini UMPPs (on the lines of the UMPP route). In addition to this, States are also inviting competitive tariff based bids for sourcing their future short-term as well as long-term power requirements. This is an encouraging development for the sector and besides bringing transparency would also make tariffs competitive. Fuel such as coal and gas would also need to be dovetailed in terms of capacity allocations and linkages so that capacity addition programmes can progress smoothly.

 

Transmission

Development of select transmission projects through private sector participation has been initiated. Fourteen transmission projects have been identified for development through tariff based competitive bidding. The bidding process for two of the identified transmission systems has been taken up by the Gol. Power Grid Corporation of India Limited has also been asked by the Gol to study and plan transmission lines for evacuation of power from the proposed UMPPs to the beneficiary States. This is yet another initiative which needs to be dovetailed with the capacity addition programme of generation to harness the benefits of linking energy/fuel based availability in diverse geographical locations to the load-centers in other parts of the country.

 

Distribution and State Electricity Boards

Efficiency improvement in the power distribution sector is fundamental to power reforms. The Gol'sinitiative of Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme (APDRP) as a vehicle to drive reforms in the distribution sector, has not yielded the much needed impetus to discipline and improved consumer services. This is now being reviewed in order to link performance improvement incentives with investments, fiscal discipline and improved services. Similarly, some States have taken the initiative of performance based franchise model for management of certain geographies which are burdened with dilapidated networks and extensive AT and C losses. In the meanwhile, successful models like the privatisation in Delhi need to be replicated across more States, if sustainable and impactful change needs to be achieved.

 

Rural Electrification

The Rural Electrification Policy seeks to provide electricity to all households by 2009 with a minimum lifeline consumption of 1 unit per household per day by 2012. Allocation to the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (a National Rural Electrification Programme) has been increased from Rs. 30000.000 millions in FY 07 to Rs. 39830.000 millions in FY 08. The distributed generation concept to meet the power requirement of local rural networks has yet to take-off. The Gol's initiative may be necessary to develop viable Public Private Participation (PPP) based distributed generation models, based on Viability Gap Funding (VGF) options and for their replication in different rural communities. This would take the load off from State Power Utilities, propose self-reliance and self-governance in power in rural communities and would encourage cottage, local agrarian industry in the rural areas.

 

Fuel supply for Power Generation

Recent discoveries of gas in Krishna Godavari and Mahanadi basins along with the development of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) are expected to provide the much needed fuel diversity in the next 2-3 years. Gas utilisation can substitute oil and command a remunerative price in the industrial sector. However, it would need to establish its affordability for the power sector to compete with imported coal. Till then, coal is likely to be the mainstay for power generation. The power sector has shown great interest in acquiring coal mines both in India and abroad to securitize fuel supplies for existing and proposed power projects. The Gol has initiated steps in promoting coal based generation at pitheads by identifying and offering captive coal blocks to the power sector. While this has

received an overwhelming response, there is a lack of clear policy and speed in allocating the coal blocks to various applicants.

 

Renewable Energy

There has been an increased focus on renewable energy. Many utilities as well as private developers are going ahead with plans to develop, wind farms, biofuel based projects and solar projects. To promote renewable energy and encourage its use, some State Commissions have enforced Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) on the distribution licensees. These licensees are required to meet a certain portion of their power requirement through renewable energy, which is a laudable initiative. A simple and convenient Clean Development Mechanism (COM) would supplement and boost investment in renewable energy. For renewable energy projects to be viable, Government/Regulatory support such as the present practice of allowing accelerated depreciation, RPOs, higher tariff, etc. would need to continue. To attract large scale investments, the Government could consider permitting trading of tax breaks since new entrants may not have the capacity to fully utilize the tax benefit. Similarly, the Government could enjoin land allocations to encourage large scale

Development of wind farms and solar farms.
