Chairman's Statement
India remains the world's fastest-growing major economy and its energy sector continues to be a critical enabler of that growth.
India's Growth Story and the Role of Power
India's economic engine is accelerating at a scale and speed that is redrawing the global growth landscape. FY25 saw GDP expand by a robust ~6.5% (Source: IMF), powered by an unprecedented manufacturing boom, nationwide infrastructure build-out, rapid urban transformation, and deep penetration of technology across sectors. Government-led initiatives such as Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and the push towards electrification of everything, from industry to mobility, are driving a structural surge in power demand. As industrial clusters, data centres, transportation networks and rural development programmes expand, the need for reliable, scalable and round-the-clock electricity has never been more critical. Positioned at the centre of this transformation is the energy sector - thermal based generation in particular - that remains pivotal in powering India's journey towards economic leadership.
India's power sector continued its upward trajectory in FY25, with total electricity generation reaching 1,821 billion units (BU), a 5% year-on-year increase over FY24's 1,733 BU. As of March 2025, India's total installed power capacity stands at approximately 475 GW, with 245 GW from thermal power. More importantly, thermal continues to dominate the generation mix with over 74% share, owing to its unmatched role in delivering base-load power and ensuring grid stability, as Plant Load Factors (PLF) across these thermal assets tend to be more than double of renewable plants. Recognizing the importance and need of such base load energy, the Government of India (GOI) is aiming to add 80 GW of new thermal capacity by 2032. Against this backdrop, OPG Power Ventures remains a vital contributor to India's energy story, offering consistency, reliability and operational resilience.
Operational Strength and Consistency
FY25 marked another year of steady operational delivery. Our 414 MW thermal plant in Tamil Nadu maintained industry level PLFs, ensuring consistent power supply during periods of elevated demand. This strong performance reflects the discipline of our teams, robustness of our asset base, and effectiveness in managing operations across varying market conditions.
Financial Performance and Prudent Fiscal Management
The financial year saw OPG post a revenue of 156.73 GBP Mn and an EBITDA of 13.83 GBP Mn, reflecting continued focus on operational efficiency and cost control. The balance sheet remains healthy, backed by disciplined capital allocation and efficient working capital management. Prudent cash flow strategies have enabled us to meet our debt obligations comfortably while maintaining sufficient liquidity.
Governance, Strategy and Outlook
We remain committed to providing transparent governance, stakeholder value and long-term strategic clarity. Our priorities are maintenance of strong cash flows, repayment of debt, asset reliability and calibrated investment in optimisation initiatives. As the Indian power sector continues to evolve, we firmly believe thermal power will remain indispensable, in the near future, for supporting peak demand coverage and round-the-clock energy access.
In closing, I wish to thank all my colleagues on the board, employees, regulators, partners and shareholders for their trust and continued belief in OPG. Your support strengthens our resolve to deliver consistent value through orderly execution. We move ahead with clarity, confidence and purpose.

CEO's Operational Review
The Group remains steadfast in pursuing resilient and value-accretive growth, in alignment with India's energy vision to propel development
Macroeconomic and Industry Overview
FY25 was a defining year for the Indian power sector, supported by strong economic growth and continued policy support. India being the world's fastest-growing major economy has seen robust electricity demand driven by industrial expansion, urbanisation and rising per capita consumption. Growth in Power demand surpassed earlier forecasts, peaking at over 250 GW during the summer months. Thermal power generation maintained its dominance in the energy mix, contributing over 74% of total electricity generated during the year. This reaffirmed the importance of coal-based power in ensuring energy security and round-the-clock availability of electricity.
On the coal front, domestic production hit a new record of over 1 billion tonnes, a milestone achievement that reduced import dependency and improved fuel security. GOI's initiatives such as the SHAKTI Scheme ensured improved availability of coal. The current policy landscape is focused on ramping up domestic output while gradually reducing import reliance, which in turn has contributed to a softening of international coal prices. The Ministry of Power of GOI, has played a key role in this transition, proactively facilitating long-term PPAs and refining coal allocation mechanisms to ensure consistent fuel supply for power generators.
Operational Performance
The Company continued to supply electricity to various state distribution companies across India, under a well-diversified portfolio of short, medium and long-term contracts. This structured sales mix has helped anchor operational flexibility in response to the evolving market dynamics.
OPG delivered a steady operational performance in FY25, with electricity generation of 2.324 BU, closely tracking FY24 levels (2.323 BU). The plant sustained a PLF of 69%, underscoring operational consistency. Power was generated through a balanced mix of domestic and imported coal, ensuring reliability and cost competitiveness. The average realized tariff for the year stood at 6.5 pence per unit, compared to 7.5 pence in the previous year, largely reflecting market dynamics and balanced sales mix. Despite the tariff decline, profitability remained stable owing to effective coal procurement strategies and softened input costs.
Sustaining Performance
Auxiliary consumption was maintained at 8.5%, in line with sectoral benchmarks. An in-house solar plant commissioned within the premises supplied power for internal operations, improving net plant efficiency, reducing carbon footprint and saving auxiliary consumption annually. The facility has implemented multiple initiatives to further reduce emissions per electricity generated, reinforcing its commitment to cleaner operations. Further, Biomass blending continues to support cleaner combustion practices.
Water usage was minimised through the use of air-cooled condensers, positioning the facility as a zero-discharge unit. These measures contribute to operational sustainability without compromising generation reliability.
Safety and Compliance
FY25 marked another year of excellent safety performance, with zero Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). The company strengthened its on-ground safety systems, conducted periodic drills, and maintained a proactive health and safety framework, reinforcing a culture of accountability and care.

Financial Review
In FY25, the Group navigated market cyclicality with financial discipline, sustaining stability and long-term value with focus of deleveraging the balance sheet and strengthening the financial position.
The following is a commentary on the Group's financial performance for the year ending 31 March 2025.
Revenue
In FY25, the Group delivered revenue of £156.7 million, reflecting a moderation of £4.1 million (2.5%) from FY24. The shift is largely attributable to market cyclicality against an exceptional prior-year base, while the Group's operating fundamentals remain strong.
Adjusted EBITDA was £13.8 million, representing 8.8% of revenue, compared with £17.2 million (10.7%) in FY24. The variance reflects revenue movement, though profitability continues to be supported by disciplined operations and ensuring sustainable performance.
| Year Ended 31 March | FY 25 £m | Percentage of revenue | FY 24 £m | Percentage of revenue |
| Revenue | £156.7 | | £160.8 | |
| Cost of Revenue (excluding Depreciation) | (£132.5) | | (£132.8) | |
| Gross Profit | £24.2 | 15.4 | £28.0 | 17.4 |
| Other Operating Income | £3.7 | | £3.6 | |

Note: due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
In FY 25, the average tariff realised was 6.5p/kWh, compared to previous year's 7.5p/kWh. The total generation (including deemed generation), amounted to 2,324 million units, representing similar levels as compared to the previous year's 2,323 million units. While generation levels in FY25 closely tracked those of the previous year, the Company maintained its focus on the short-term market, responding to evolving demand trends and ensuring steady plant utilisation.
Coal prices moderated to normative levels during the year, supporting operating margins. However, global supply dynamics remain sensitive to shifts in China and India's coal demand, Indonesian export policies, and weather-related disruptions, factors that continue to influence international pricing and availability
| Operational Review | FY 25 | FY 24 |
| Total generation, incl. "deemed" generation (m units) | 2,324 | 2,323 |
| Plant Load Factor (PLF) (percent) | 68.50 | 69.21 |
| Average tariff (pence/unit) | 6.5 | 7.5 |
Gross Profit
For FY25, Gross Profit (GP) stood at £24.2 million, representing 15.4% of revenue, compared with £28.0 million (17.4%) in FY24. The year-on-year movement reflects a normalisation in operating margins following the exceptional benefits seen in the previous year from stabilised coal prices and stronger generation levels.
While the reported GP is lower in absolute terms, the outcome is consistent with expectations in a year marked by fluctuating input costs and evolving market dynamics. Importantly, the Group maintained disciplined cost management and ensured operational efficiency, thereby sustaining a resilient margin profile in line with industry trends.
The Group remains focused on optimising its cost base and enhancing efficiency to safeguard profitability, while continuing to prioritise stable cash flows and long-term shareholder value creation.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Taxes and Amortisation ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a key indicator of the Group's underlying cash generation, as it excludes the effects of financing, depreciation, exceptional charges, and other non-operational items such as share-based compensation. This measure enables a clearer comparison of profitability across periods and with peers, by focusing on core operating performance and removing distortions from capital structure and accounting treatments.
Figures pertaining to FY 24 have been reinstated to reflect reclassification adjustments carried out during FY 25, ensuring consistency and comparability across reporting periods.
In FY 25, Adjusted EBITDA stood at £13.8 million, representing 8.8% of revenue, compared to £17.2 million or 10.7% of revenue in FY 24. The movement reflects a recalibration from the exceptionally strong operating environment of FY 24, as well as the impact of higher input costs during the year. Importantly, despite this moderation, the Group continued to generate strong operating cash flows, underscoring the resilience of its business model.
Profit Before Tax
Profit from operations before tax was £5.2 million, or 3.3% of revenue, in FY 25, relative to £7.7 million (4.8% of revenue) in FY 24. The variance primarily stems from margin compression following a high base year; however, the Group remains focused on operational discipline and efficiency improvements. These initiatives are expected to enhance long-term profitability and reinforce the platform for sustained shareholder value creation.

Taxation
The Group's operating subsidiary continues to benefit from a tax holiday period. However, the subsidiary is subject to Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on its accounting profits. The taxes paid under MAT can be used to offset future tax liabilities that may arise after the conclusion of the tax holiday period.
The tax expense for the year amounted to £3.8 million.
Profit After Tax from continuing operations
Profit After Tax from continuing operations stood at £1.4 million in FY25, compared to £4.3 million in FY24, reflecting a reduction of £2.9 million (66.2%). The decline primarily mirrors the flow-through impact of lower operating earnings in the year, alongside prudent provisioning and conservative recognition policies that the Company has maintained in line with its disciplined financial approach.
While PAT is lower year-on-year, the underlying fundamentals of the business remain intact. The Company continues to generate steady operating cash flows and retains financial flexibility to support growth initiatives. Management remains focused on driving operational efficiency and portfolio optimization, which are expected to underpin sustainable long-term profitability.
Current Year's Operations:
The plants are running well with a Plant Load Factor of 69%. The plants have continued to operate steadily, supported by reliable offtake arrangements across both long-term and short-term markets. Market dynamics have shown signs of stabilization despite fluctuations in exchange rates and seasonal supply variations. The Company remains focused on enhancing operational resilience by optimizing fuel sourcing strategies, including pursuing opportunities under government-led coal initiatives, while maintaining flexibility to adapt to evolving market conditions. These measures are aimed at ensuring cost efficiency and supporting consistent generation performance.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
The Group's total reported EPS decreased from 1.02 Pence in FY 24 to 0.35 Pence in FY 25.
Dividend policy
The Board remains firmly committed to prudent capital management, prioritising liquidity to support operational needs, future capex requirements, and to withstand against evolving macroeconomic uncertainties. In line with this approach, the Board has decided not to declare a dividend for FY25. The Group's dividend policy will be reviewed periodically, keeping in view business performance, cash flows, and strategic priorities.
The Foreign Exchange Gain / Loss on Translation
The British Pound to Indian Rupee appreciated to a closing rate of £1= INR 110.38 as at 31 March 2025 from a rate of £1= INR 105.28 as at 31 March 2024 resulting in an exchange loss of £7.03 million. The same has been recognised under "Exchange differences on translating foreign operations".
Property, Plant and Equipment & Intangible Assets
The net book value of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets stood at £148.2 million, reflecting the impact of depreciation, asset disposals and foreign exchange movements, partially offset by additions during the year.
Other Non-Current Assets
Other Non-Current Assets (excluding Property, Plant and Equipment & Intangible Assets) declined by £4.5 million in FY25. The reduction was primarily driven by a £4.3 million decrease in non-current investments, which moved from £18.3 million to £14.0 million during the year.
Current Assets
Current Assets declined by £29.5 million (31.2%) year-on-year, reflecting adjustments across working capital balances. The most notable changes were:
· Inventories contracted by £13.3 million, driven by lower stock holdings in line with operational requirements.
· Trade receivables reduced by £16.1 million, reflecting tighter collections.
· Other short-term assets advanced modestly by £1.8 million, providing partial offset.
· Current tax assets edged lower by £0.04 million.
· Restricted cash balances decreased by £5.5 million, following scheduled utilisation
· Cash and cash equivalents improved by £3.6 million, strengthening liquidity.
Liabilities
Total liabilities witnessed a sharp reduction, with current liabilities declining by £27.1 million (44.2%). This movement was primarily driven by:
· Borrowings, including current maturities of long-term debt, which reduced by £6.9 million, reflecting repayments during the year.
· Trade and other payables, which contracted significantly by £20.1 million, in line with operating requirements.
· Other current liabilities, which saw a marginal decline of £0.01 million.
On the non-current side, liabilities decreased by £10.7 million (26.1%), largely attributable to:
· A fall in the non-current portion of long-term debt by £11.3 million, reflecting repayments.
· Trade and other payables, which decreased by £0.4 million.
Partially offsetting these reductions, net deferred tax liabilities rose by £1.0 million, reflecting timing differences between book and tax treatments.
Capital Structure and Financial Leverage Analysis
Debt Profile and Leverage Metrics
The Company's borrowings portfolio witnessed a significant deleveraging during FY25, with total outstanding debt declining substantially to £10.5 million from the previous year's £28.6 million. The gearing ratio, calculated as net debt divided by equity plus net debt, improved markedly to -0.09x from -0.02x, reflecting the organization's strengthened balance sheet position. Notably, the Company abstained from raising any new debt facilities during the financial year.
Liquidity Position
The net cash position (total borrowings minus cash and current and non-current investments in mutual funds) experienced a remarkable enhancement, strengthening from £3.6 million to £15.6 million, primarily attributable to systematic debt reduction amounting to £18.1 million. This strategic debt retirement underscores management's commitment to optimizing the capital structure. The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio further improved from -0.2x to -1.1x, demonstrating enhanced earnings coverage relative to the Company's net cash position and reinforcing its robust financial flexibility.
Finance Costs and Income
Financial expenses registered a marginal uptick of £0.5 million year-over-year, while finance income demonstrated robust growth of £1.5 million. Consequently, net finance costs contracted from £3.9 million in FY24 to £2.9 million in FY25, representing an improvement of £1.0 million.

| | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |
| Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, and amendments to existing standards have been published by the IASB that are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group. Information on those expected to be relevant to the Group's financial statements is provided below.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Group's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, interpretations and amendments not either adopted or listed below are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Changes in accounting Standards |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The following standards and amendments to IFRS became effective for the period beginning on 1 January 2024 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | · IFRS 1, 'First time adoption of IFRS' has been amended with clarification regarding "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (including amendments related to Non-current Liabilities with Covenants)". The amendments clarify the classification of liabilities as current or non-current, based on the rights in place at the reporting date. They also require enhanced disclosures for liabilities subject to covenants that are tested post reporting period.
These amendments did not result in reclassification of liabilities on the statement of financial position but have led to enhanced disclosures where applicable, particularly in respect of loan agreements with financial covenants.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | · IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback has been amended to provide clarification on how to measure lease liabilities in sale and leaseback transactions to ensure that the seller-lessee does not recognize any gain or loss related to the retained right-of-use asset.
While the Group did not enter into new sale and leaseback arrangements during the reporting period, the amendment has been considered in assessing lease-related transactions and disclosures, if any.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | · IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Supplier Finance Arrangements amendments introduced a new disclosure requirements where supplier finance arrangements exist. As a thermal power generator, the Group enters into structured arrangements for procurement of coal and other critical inputs, where payment terms are supported by financial intermediaries.
While these arrangements do not significantly impact the classification of liabilities, the Group has provided additional disclosures in Note 24 to reflect the nature, terms, and associated risks of such arrangements, in compliance with the new requirements.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Applicable |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The following new or amended standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the Group's reporting period. The Group has not early adopted these standards and is currently evaluating their potential impact:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |
| IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability (effective from 1 January 2025) These amendments address situations where exchangeability of foreign currency is lacking and provide guidance on estimating a spot exchange rate. Given the Group's capital imports and cross-border transactions denominated in foreign currency (notably for turbine equipment and spares), these amendments may become relevant in jurisdictions with exchange restrictions. The Group is assessing potential implications in relevant markets.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |
| IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture These amendments clarify the recognition of gains or losses on the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely. The Group will apply these amendments when they become effective.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |
| Future standards applicable beyond FY 2024-25 (not early adopted):
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2027) Introduces revised presentation of income and expenses, including new subtotals (e.g., operating profit), and management performance measure disclosures.
IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective 1 January 2027) Permits reduced disclosures for eligible subsidiaries within consolidated groups.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (effective 1 January 2026) Address classification of financial instruments with ESG-linked features and derecognition guidance for electronic settlement of liabilities. Amendments related to Nature-dependent Electricity Contracts Clarify the 'own-use' exemption for contracts like power purchase agreements (PPAs) and permit hedge accounting for certain variable volume forecast transactions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | In response to continued global disruptions, including persistent inflationary pressures, volatile energy markets, and ongoing geopolitical tensions such as the war in Ukraine and regional instability in the Middle East, the Group has proactively conducted a Reverse Stress Test (RST) to assess the potential impact on its receivables, financial assets, and overall liquidity position.
1) Despite heightened commodity price fluctuations and inflationary headwinds, particularly in coal and other fuel inputs, the Group's financial position remains resilient. Market volatility has been managed through a disciplined and forward-looking financial framework. 2) The Group has further enhanced its risk management strategies in FY 2024-25, including tighter cost controls, dynamic procurement models, and operational efficiencies across thermal power generation assets. These initiatives have mitigated margin pressures and preserved cash flows amid an uncertain global energy landscape. 3) As at 31 March 2025, the Group held cash reserves of £15.35mn and cumulative net current assets of £30.87mn. The Group's liquidity position remains strong, supported by prudent treasury management and diversified funding lines. This ensures full coverage of short-term obligations and provides the financial flexibility to navigate macroeconomic uncertainties without compromising operational continuity. 4) The Group's ability to rapidly adapt to evolving market conditions through scenario-based planning, strategic hedging, and agile decision-making has been central to maintaining stable operations and performance. This adaptability continues to be a core strength as the Group transitions towards long-term sustainability goals, while ensuring energy reliability in the near term. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| | Basis of consolidation |
|
| | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of the operation of the Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 31 March 2025. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 March.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | A subsidiary is defined as an entity controlled by the Company. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which effective control is acquired by the Group, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders' equity. Acquisitions of additional stake or dilution of stake from/ to non-controlling interests/ other venturer in the Group where there is no loss of control are accounted for as an equity transaction, whereby, the difference between the consideration paid to or received from and the book value of the share of the net assets is recognised in 'other reserve' within statement of changes in equity.

| | Foreign currency translation | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The functional currency of the Company is the Great Britain Pound Sterling (£). The Cyprus entity is an extension of the parent and pass through investment entity. Accordingly the functional currency of the subsidiary in Cyprus is the Great Britain Pound Sterling. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries operating in India, determined based on evaluation of the individual and collective economic factors is Indian Rupees ('₹' or 'INR'). The presentation currency of the Group is the Great Britain Pound (£) as submitted to the AIM counter of the London Stock Exchange where the shares of the Company are listed.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | At the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the Group are translated into the presentation currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and the income and expense for each statement of profit or loss are translated at the average exchange rate (unless this average rate is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expense are translated at the rate on the date of the transactions). Exchange differences are charged/ credited to other comprehensive income and recognized in the currency translation reserve in equity.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the Statement of financial position date are translated into functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Aggregate gains and losses resulting from foreign currencies are included in finance income or costs within the profit or loss.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | INR exchange rates used to translate the INR financial information into the presentation currency of Great Britain Pound (£) are the closing rate as at 31 March 2025: 110.38 (2024: 105.28) and the average rate for the year ended 31 March 2025: 107.88 (2024: 104.06).
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Revenue recognition | | | | | | | |

| | | In accordance with IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers, the group recognises revenue to the extent that it reflects the expected consideration for goods or services provided to the customer under contract, over the performance obligations they are being provided. For each separable performance obligation identified, the Group determines whether it is satisfied at a "point in time" or "over time" based upon an evaluation of the receipt and consumption of benefits, control of assets and enforceable payment rights associated with that obligation. If the criteria required for "over time" recognition are not met, the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied at a "point in time". Revenue principally arises as a result of the Group's activities in electricity generation and distribution. Supply of power and billing satisfies performance obligations. The supply of power is invoiced in arrears on a monthly basis and generally the payment terms within the Group are 10 to 45 days. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Revenue | | | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Revenue from providing electricity to Discoms under LTOA/MTOA is recognised on the basis of billing cycle under the contractual arrangement with the Discoms and reflects the value of units of power supplied and the applicable tariff after deductions or discounts. Revenue is earned at a point in time of joint meter reading by both buyer and seller for each billing month.
In accordance with the Group's revenue recognition policy and the concept of prudence, surcharges on delayed customer payments under LTOA contracts are recognised only upon receipt, to mitigate the risk of non-recoverability or significant delays in collection. The same recognition principle is applied to amounts arising from Change in Law claims as per the PPA.
For STOA, revenue is earned at a point in time of joint meter reading by both buyer and seller for each billing month.
For IEX, revenue is earned on daily basis of supply based on the bid and allotted quantum which gets reconciled at a point in time of meter reading for each billing month.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Interest and dividend | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Revenue from interest is recognised as interest accrued (using the effective interest rate method). Revenue from dividends is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Operating expenses | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Operating expenses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or as incurred. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Taxes | | | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, taxation authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit.
Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and the intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Financial assets | | | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments contains regulations on measurement categories for financial assets and financial liabilities. It also contains regulations on impairments, which are based on expected losses.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Financial assets are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL) based on the business model and the characteristics of the cash flows. If a financial asset is held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and the cash flows of the financial asset represent exclusively interest and principal payments, then the financial asset is measured at amortized cost. A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) if it is used both to collect contractual cash flows and for sales purposes and the cash flows of the financial asset consist exclusively of interest and principal payments. Unrealized gains and losses from financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), net of related deferred taxes, are reported as a component of equity (other comprehensive income) until realized. Realized gains and losses are determined by analyzing each transaction individually. Debt instruments that do not exclusively serve to collect contractual cash flows or to both generate contractual cash flows and sales revenue, or whose cash flows do not exclusively consist of interest and principal payments are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL). For equity instruments that are held for trading purposes the group has uniformly exercised the option of recognizing changes in fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Refer to note 30 "Summary of financial assets and liabilities by category and their fair values". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Impairments of financial assets are both recognized for losses already incurred and for expected future credit defaults. The amount of the impairment loss calculated in the determination of expected credit losses is recognized on the income statement. Impairment provisions for current and non-current trade receivables are recognised based on the simplified approach within IFRS 9 using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit losses. During this process the probability of the non-payment of the trade receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Financial liabilities | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group's financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within 'finance costs' or 'finance income'.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Fair value of financial instruments | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices at the close of business on the Statement of financial position date. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Property, plant and equipment | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to property plant & equipment such as employee cost, borrowing costs for long-term construction projects etc., if recognition criteria are met. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its costs are recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on all other assets is computed on straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset based on management's estimate as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Nature of asset | | |
|
| Useful life (years) |
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Buildings | | | | | 40 | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Power stations | | | | | 40 | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Other plant and equipment | | | | 1-5 | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Vehicles | | | | | 1-5 | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Assets in the course of construction are stated at cost and not depreciated until commissioned. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of the assets are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Intangible assets | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Acquired software | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Subsequent measurement | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | All intangible assets, including software are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The useful life of software is estimated as 3-4 years.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Borrowing costs | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowing pending its expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the costs of these assets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Gains and losses on extinguishment of liability, including those arising from substantial modification from terms of loans are not treated as borrowing costs and are charged to profit or loss. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | All other borrowing costs including transaction costs are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, the amount being determined using the effective interest rate method.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Impairment of non-financial assets | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Non-current assets and any corresponding liabilities held for sale and any directly attributable liabilities are recognized separately from other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet in the line items "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities associated with assets held for sale" if they can be disposed of in their current condition and if there is sufficient probability of their disposal actually taking place. Discontinued operations are components of an entity that are either held for sale or have already been sold and can be clearly distinguished from other corporate operations, both operationally and for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, the component classified as a discontinued operation must represent a major business line or a specific geographic business segment of the Group. Non-current assets that are held for sale either individually or collectively as part of a disposal group, or that belong to a discontinued operation, are no longer depreciated. They are instead accounted for at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less any remaining costs to sell. If this value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The income and losses resulting from the measurement of components held for sale as well as the gains and losses arising from the disposal of discontinued operations, are reported separately on the face of the income statement under income/loss from discontinued operations, net, as is the income from the ordinary operating activities of these divisions. Prior-year income statement figures are adjusted accordingly. However, there is no reclassification of prior-year balance sheet line items attributable to discontinued operations.
In case of reclassification, previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the investment's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the investment does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, had no impairment loss been recognised for the investments in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss. Once the Company ceases to classify a component as assets held for sale, the results of that component previously presented in discontinued operations will be reclassified and included in income from continuing operation for the period presented.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Cash and cash equivalents | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of financial position includes cash in hand and at bank and short-term deposits with original maturity period of 3 months or less.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and at bank and short-term deposits. Restricted cash represents deposits which are subject to a fixed charge and held as security for specific borrowings and are not included in cash and cash equivalents.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Inventories | | | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted based on weighted average price. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated selling expenses.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Earnings per share | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The earnings considered in ascertaining the Group's earnings per share (EPS) comprise the net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent. The number of shares used for computing the basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity share holders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity share.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Other provisions and contingent liabilities | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Provisions are recognised when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events. Restructuring provisions are recognised only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan's main features to those affected by it. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognised, unless it was assumed in the course of a business combination. In a business combination, contingent liabilities are recognised on the acquisition date when there is a present obligation that arises from past events and the fair value can be measured reliably, even if the outflow of economic resources is not probable. They are subsequently measured at the higher amount of a comparable provision as described above and the amount recognised on the acquisition date, less any amortisation.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Share based payments | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees. None of the Group's plans feature any options for a cash settlement.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment are measured at their fair values. Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair values of employees' services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions).
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to 'Other Reserves'.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded as share premium.

|
| Gratuity |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("the Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Liabilities with regard to the gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each Statement of financial position date using the projected unit credit method.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group recognises the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its statement of financial position as an asset or liability, respectively in accordance with IAS 19, Employee benefits. The discount rate is based on the Government securities yield. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Employees Benefit Trust | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group has established an Employees Benefit Trust (hereinafter 'the EBT') for investments in the Company's shares for employee benefit schemes. IOMA Fiduciary in the Isle of Man have been appointed as Trustees of the EBT with full discretion invested in the Trustee, independent of the company, in the matter of share purchases. As at present, no investments have been made by the Trustee nor any funds advanced by the Company to the EBT. The Company is yet to formulate any employee benefit schemes or to make awards thereunder.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Business combinations | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established using pooling of interest method. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group controlling shareholder's consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same components within Group equity. Any excess consideration paid is directly recognised in equity.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Segment reporting | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8 - Operating segments. Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Directors being the chief operating decision maker evaluate the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators at operating segment level. During FY25 there is only one operating segment thermal power. There are no geographical segments as all revenues arise from India. All the non current assets are located in India.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group in the consolidated financial statements are as set out above. The application of a number of these policies requires the Group to use a variety of estimation techniques and apply judgment to best reflect the substance of underlying transactions.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group has determined that a number of its accounting policies can be considered significant, in terms of the management judgment that has been required to determine the various assumptions underpinning their application in the consolidated financial statements presented which, under different conditions, could lead to material differences in these statements. The actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the management and will seldom equal the estimated results.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Judgements | | | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Recoverability of deferred tax assets | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The recognition of deferred tax assets requires assessment of future taxable profit (see note 5(h)). Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | Estimates and uncertainties: | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the Statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | i) | | Estimation of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities: While preparing the financial statements the Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of financial assets and financial liabilities.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Trade Receivables | | | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | | The group ascertains the expected credit losses (ECL) for all receivables and adequate impairment provision are made. At the end of each reporting period a review of the allowance for impairment of trade receivables is performed. Trade receivables do not contain a significant financing element, and therefore expected credit losses are measured using the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised on initial recognition. A provision matrix is utilised to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses based on the age, status and risk of each class of receivable, which is periodically updated to include changes to both forward-looking and historical inputs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | |
Financial assets measured at FVPL | | | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | | Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial assets measured at FVPL where active market quotes are not available. This requires management to develop estimates and assumptions based on market inputs, using observable data that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Where such data is not observable, management uses its best estimate. Estimated fair values of the asset may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | ii) | | Impairment tests: In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating units based on expected future cash flows and use an interest rate for discounting them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results including fuel prices, foreign currency exchange rates etc. and the determination of a suitable discount rate. The management considers impairment upon there being evidence that there might be an impairment, such as a lower market capitalization of the group or a downturn in results.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | iii) | | Useful life of depreciable assets: Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | Segment Reporting | | | | | | | |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8 - Operating segments. Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Directors being the chief operating decision maker evaluate the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators at operating segment level.

| | | 1 During the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group reviewed its outstanding provisions as part of its year-end financial close and risk reassessment processes. Following this review, a provision of £ 3,761,778 was assessed as no longer required. The underlying obligation has been either resolved, expired without materialisation of liability, or is no longer considered probable based on updated operational assessments. Accordingly, the provision was released in full during the current financial year, resulting in a credit to the income statement under Other Income. This release has no impact on the Group's operational performance or cash flows and reflects the Group's prudent approach to financial risk management.

| | | The Company is subject to Isle of Man corporate tax at the standard rate of zero percent. As such, the Company's tax liability is zero. Additionally, Isle of Man does not levy tax on capital gains. However, considering that the group's operations are primarily based in India, the effective tax rate of the Group has been computed based on the current tax rates prevailing in India. Further, a portion of the profits of the Group's India operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits attributable to generation of power in India. Under the tax holiday the taxpayer can utilize an exemption from income taxes for a period of any ten consecutive years out of a total of fifteen consecutive years from the date of commencement of the operations. However, the entities in India are still liable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) which is calculated on the book profits of the respective entities currently at a rate of 17.47% (31 March 2024: 17.47%).
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | The Group has carried forward credit in respect of MAT tax liability paid to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such tax credit can be utilized.

|
| | | In assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

| | | There is no unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities. As at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, there was no recognised deferred tax liability for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Group's subsidiaries, as the Group has determined that undistributed profits of its subsidiaries will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

| | | As part of the consolidation process, the carrying amounts of non-monetary assets, including Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE), are restated at the closing exchange rates prevailing as at the reporting date. The resulting foreign exchange differences are not recognised in profit or loss but are instead recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and accumulated in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve within equity. The "Exchange adjustments" in the table above is primarily due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the functional currencies of those subsidiaries (INR) and the Group's presentation currency (GBP).
This translation difference has no impact on the Group's cash flows or underlying operational performance and reflects currency volatility at the reporting date. |

|
| | | The Group considered both qualitative and quantitative factors when determining whether an Asset or CGU may be impaired. Assets related to each segment and the cash inflows generated are separately identifiable and independent of other assets or groups of assets. No impairment loss was recognized for the consulting segment during the year 24-25.
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | The recoverable amount of segment was determined based on value-in-use calculations, covering a detailed 20 year period forecast for Thermal Assets using DCF methodology by management. The present value of the expected cash flows is determined by applying a suitable discount rate reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the segment.
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | The Present Value of Cash Flows thus determined were compared with the Carrying Cost of PPE and it was found that the PV Values were on the Higher side of the Carrying cost of Property Plant and Equipment.

| | | Appropriate sensitivities to understand impact on key estimates and under all scenarios were tested and no impairment was triggered. Group has also considered the impact of climate change and global energy transition. Coal fired power generation will remain key to the energy mix for India over the life of the Power Station. With the above calculations, it was concluded that there is no impairment in Thermal Assets. |

|
| | | The number of performance-related awards is 14 million ordinary shares (the "LTIP Shares") (representing approximately 3.6 per cent of the Company's issued share capital). The grant date is 24 April 2019.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | The LTIP Shares were awarded to certain members of the senior management team as Nominal Cost Shares and will vest in three tranches subject to continued service with Group until vesting and meeting the following share price performance targets, plant load factor ("PLF") and term loan repayments of the Chennai thermal plant.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | - 20% of the LTIP Shares shall vest upon meeting the target share price of 25.16p before the first anniversary for the first tranche, i.e. 24 April 2020, achievement of PLF during the period April 2019 to March 2020 of at least 70% at the Chennai thermal plant and repayment of all scheduled term loans.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | - 40% of the LTIP Shares shall vest upon meeting the target share price of 30.07p before the second anniversary for the second tranche, i.e. 24 April 2021, achievement of PLF during the period April 2020 to March 2021 of at least 70% at the Chennai thermal plant and repayment of all scheduled term loans.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | - 40% of the LTIP Shares shall vest upon meeting the target share price of 35.00p before the third anniversary for the third tranche, i.e. 24 April 2022, achievement of PLF of at least 70% at the Chennai thermal plant during the period April 2021 to March 2022 and repayment of all scheduled term loans.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | The nominal cost of performance share, i.e. upon the exercise of awards, individuals will be required to pay up 0.0147p per share to exercise their awards.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | The share price performance metric will be deemed achieved if the average share price over a fifteen day period exceeds the applicable target price. In the event that the share price or other performance targets do not meet the applicable target, the number of vesting shares would be reduced pro-rata, for that particular year. However, no LTIP Shares will vest if actual performance is less than 80 per cent of any of the performance targets in any particular year. The terms of the LTIP provide that the Company may elect to pay a cash award of an equivalent value of the vesting LTIP Shares.
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| | | None of the LTIP Shares, once vested, can be sold until the third anniversary of the award, unless required to meet personal taxation obligations in relation to the LTIP award.The shares have not been issued because that was the time of COVID lock downs and related disruptions including Administrative and Logistics issues, thus delaying the process of allocation of shares. No changes/revisions were made to LTIP during the reporting period and no shares were issued during the reporting period. The Carry forward shares under LTIP reserves will be issued by the revised timeline of FY27.

| 30 | Business combination within the group without loss of control | | | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | As per the original structure of the group, two Cypriot subsidiaries of OPGPV, namely Gita Energy Private Limited ('GEPL') and Gita Holdings Private Limited ('GHPL'), held the investments in the equity of the Group's Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) in India. During the year ended 31 March 2013, the management decided to interpose an Indian holding Company, GPIPL in the structure and warehouse the SPV investments in GPIPL. Accordingly, the shareholders of GEPL, GHPL and GPIPL had entered into a scheme of arrangement to effect the above restructuring of the group. As part of the regulatory requirements in India, the group had applied and obtained approval from the High court of Madras on 28 October 2011 subject to fulfilment of certain conditions including approval of relevant regulatory authorities, allotment of shares etc. The scheme had been consummated with effect from 25 January 2013 upon issue of shares to the shareholders of GEPL and GHPL, namely CHL and the assets and liabilities of GEPL and GHPL have been taken over by GPIPL. Consequent to the scheme of arrangement, the group also has gained 100% economic interest over GPIPL by virtue of an agreement entered into with the minority shareholders of GPIPL dated 01 April 2012.
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The above arrangement has been considered as a business combination involving companies under the group since then and has been accounted at the date that common control was established using pooling of interest method. The assets and liabilities transferred are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group controlling shareholder's consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same components within Group equity. There was no excess consideration paid in this transaction.

| 32 | Financial risk management objectives and policies | | | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group's principal financial liabilities, comprises of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and other current liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Group's operations. The Group has loans and receivables, trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operations. The Group also hold investments designated financial assets measured at FVPL categories.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
| | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Group's senior management advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Market risk | | | | | | | | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, financial assets measured at FVPL.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses: | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | (i) The sensitivity of the statement of comprehensive income is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the net interest income for one year, based on the average rate of borrowings held during the year ended 31 March 2025, all other variables being held constant. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | |
Interest rate risk | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with average interest rates.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | At 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, the Group had no interest rate derivatives. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant. If interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points with all other variables being constant, the Group's profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2025 would decrease or increase by £ 86,507 (2024: £ 236,288). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Foreign currency risk | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. The Group's presentation currency is the Great Britain £. A majority of our assets are located in India where the Indian rupee is the functional currency for our subsidiaries. Currency exposures also exist in the nature of capital expenditure and services denominated in currencies other than the Indian rupee.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group's exposure to foreign currency arises where a Group company holds monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency different to the functional currency of that entity: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| | | Credit risk analysis | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade and other receivables) and from its financing activities, including short-term deposits with banks and financial institutions, and other financial assets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group has exposure to credit risk from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity. The operating entities of the group has entered into power purchase agreements with distribution companies incorporated by the Indian state government (TANGEDCO) to sell the electricity generated therefore the group is committed to sell power to these customers and the potential risk of default is considered low. For other customers, the Group ensures concentration of credit does not significantly impair the financial assets since the customers to whom the exposure of credit is taken are well established and reputed industries engaged in their respective field of business. It is Group policy to assess the credit risk of new customers before entering contracts and to obtain credit information during the power purchase agreement to highlight potential credit risks. The Group have established a credit policy under which customers are analysed for credit worthiness before power purchase agreement is signed. The Group's review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. The credit worthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit in the normal course of the business is monitored regularly and incorporates forward looking information and data available. The receivables outstanding at the year end are reviewed till the date of signing the financial statements in terms of recoveries made and ascertain if any credit risk has increased for balance dues. Further, the macro economic factors and specific customer industry status are also reviewed and if required the search and credit worthiness reports, financial statements are evaluated. The credit risk for liquid funds is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | To measure expected credit losses, trade and other receivables have been grouped together based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The Group determined that some trade receivables were credit impaired as these were long past their due date and there was an uncertainty about the recovery of such receivables. The expected loss rates are based on an ageing analysis performed on the receivables as well as historical loss rates. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information that would impact the ability of the customer to pay. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | |
Trade and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include , amongst others, the failure of the debtor to engage in a repayment plan, the debtor is not operating anymore and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 180 days.

| | | Liquidity risk analysis | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group's main source of liquidity is its operating businesses. The treasury department uses regular forecasts of operational cash flow, investment and trading collateral requirements to ensure that sufficient liquid cash balances are available to service on-going business requirements. The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 90 day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 90 day and a 30 day lookout period are identified monthly.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | The Group maintains cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60 day periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| | | The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. a exit price) in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | 1. Cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other borrowings like short-term loans, current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | 2. The fair value of loans from banks and other financial indebtedness, obligations under finance leases, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as well as other non-current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt or similar terms and remaining maturities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | 3. Fair value of financial assets measured at FVPL held for trading purposes are derived from quoted market prices in active markets. Fair value of financial assets measured at FVPL of unquoted equity instruments are derived from valuation performed at the year end. Fair Valuation of retained investments in PS and BV is on basis of the last transaction. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| | | The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | · Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | · Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | | · Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
