STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS

Operations - The year in review

Economic Outlook:

The global economic landscape is currently undergoing a period
of transformation, driven by evolving trade policies and an uptick
in global demand. Despite initial concerns stemming from the
United States'' recent tariff adjustments, the outlook for 2025
presents a unique opportunity for businesses and investors to
recalibrate strategies. The pause in tariff escalations expected
later this year could offer a window for stabilizing trade relations,
fostering a more predictable economic environment. Although
a degree of caution is anticipated, this phase also presents a
chance to strengthen long-term resilience and build adaptive
strategies for navigating future uncertainties.

In the energy sector, the demand for electricity is set to rise
significantly between 2025 and 2027, driven primarily by
emerging markets. China, India, and Southeast Asia will be at
the forefront of this growth. The International Energy Agency
(IEA) projects an unprecedented increase in electricity demand,
which will largely be met by clean energy sources, contributing
to global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and ensuring
sustainable energy demand.

India''s energy sector is poised to experience significant growth,

with electricity demand projected to increase by 6.3% annually
from 2025 to 2027. This is driven by the country''s strong
economic expansion, increasing electrification, and rising
ownership of air conditioning systems, which is responding to
the country''s warmer climate. The robust growth in electricity
demand is a clear indicator of India''s advancing industrial
and technological landscape. Moreover, India is focusing on
expanding renewable energy capacity, with a target of 500 GW.

In India, while coal''s role in the energy mix continues to be
crucial, the country is strategically balancing its focus on
renewable energy with the ongoing importance of coal in
meeting its growing energy demands. In 2024, coal demand
in India rose by 5.5%, driven by strong performance in sectors
such as power generation and industrial production. To ensure
continued energy security and support its ambitious economic
growth targets, India has set a goal to increase coal production
to 1.5 billion tons by 2030. This approach will help maintain a
reliable and diversified energy mix, facilitating the country''s
ongoing transition to renewable energy sources while ensuring
that it can meet its rising energy needs.

At GE Power India Ltd, the financial year 2024-25 was
instrumental as we embarked upon a business strategy with
a focus on high margin, cash accretive deals with faster
cash conversion cycle. We de-risked EPC and focused on
EP business; while growing core services segment through
penetration in OEM fleet.

During the year, GEPIL has secured a series of significant orders,
underscoring its strong performance in core services and
global expansion. Notable contracts include the refurbishment
of Birsinghpur boiler spares, supply of ST spares for NTPC
Rihand, and generator rotor rewinding (210 MW) for Birsinghpur.
Additional major orders include the Vindhyachal ST upgrade
under India''s 60 GW pipeline, Danieli Corns wheel assembly
for SAIL, and mill spares for CENAL ELEKTRIK in Turkey.
Furthermore, dispatches are in progress for a JSW Mingo export
project to the USA. GEPIL''s strategy focuses on expanding
service offerings, enhancing capacity, and increasing its global
market presence.

Operations - The year in review

Economic Outlook:

Emerging from the pandemic''s shadow and leveraging last year''s lower baseline, the global economy demonstrated a resilient recovery, particularly as advanced economies emerged stronger amid concerns of recession. The two primary challenges from the previous year-escalating inflation and reduced consumer demand due to central bank tightening-have alleviated, leading to stronger-than-anticipated economic growth in the latter half of the year for many economies. While global growth surpassed initial projections, this positive trend wasn''t uniform, with some regions like the Euro area and certain low-income economies experiencing subdued growth due to high debt levels.

In the Indian context, the positive momentum and optimism persisted throughout FY23-24, propelled by strong domestic demand and substantial capital expenditure investments. In the third quarter of the fiscal year, the nation recorded a GDP

growth rate of 8.4%, surpassing the RBI''s forecast of 6.6%. The significant growth in the construction sector (10.7%) and manufacturing (8.5%) notably contributed to the third-quarter performance. Despite exceeding expectations, India''s growth trajectory is expected to moderate in FY24-25, primarily due to challenges such as tight global financial conditions and sluggish trade growth.

The country continues to experience strong demand for energy, with electricity consumption growing by 7% in FY23-24, following an 8.6% increase reported in the previous year. This consecutive growth has propelled the country ahead of Japan and Korea in terms of electricity usage. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts a further 6.5% rise in electricity demand over the next three years until 2026, driven by the country''s robust economic growth and increased cooling needs.

The escalating electricity consumption in the country is propelling a surge in coal demand, given that fossil fuel still dominates with over 75% contribution to total power generation. As evidenced by a recent Kpler report, India''s coal imports have spiked by 23.8% to 42.79 million tons during the January to March 2024 period, compared to 34.57 million tons in the corresponding timeframe last year1. To cater to the escalating power requirements spurred by robust economic growth, the government has renewed its focus on electricity generation

through thermal power plants. This renewed emphasis i: evident from the increasing coal stockpile and the extensior of the operational lifespan of many existing coal assets.

The heightened focus on thermal plants through th( revitalization of older coal plants is an opportunity fo your Company as it undergoes business restructuring ant elevates its service capabilities. Additionally, with the Flu* Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) deadline approaching in jus under two and a half years, there is a growing optimism for revival in order flow, as evidenced by the two orders received by the company this fiscal year. However, the industry ha: yet to achieve stability in terms of consistent order flow i this area and of a potential extension of emission deadline i delaying ordering.

Company Performance:

Over the past couple of years, your Company has diligentl; expanded its service capabilities, leading to an increased share of services in the total revenue breakdown. Noteworth; is the fact that among the three core segments your Compan; operates in-FGD, Services, and Hydro-the turnaround tim< (TAT) of services is the shortest, accelerating profitability margins and cash conversion.

STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS Operations - The year in review

Electricity is one of the vital engines of growth. Access to affordable electricity improves the living standards of any economy. It also opens up avenues of further growth for the economy by improving productivity and enabling new industrial activities. To keep pace with India’s rapid economic growth, population growth & consumption growth, IEA estimates that electricity demand India is likely to almost triple between 2018 to 2040. Hence, billions of Indians need reliable, affordable and cleaner power for economic activities and growth. Your company is focused on this purpose, and is well positioned to play a vital part in India''s growth story.

Presently, as per BP Statistical Review of World Energy, India is the 3rc largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world. Per capita consumption of electricity has improved from 632 units in 2005-06 to ~1200 units in 2018-19. Still, India is ranked very low vis-a-vis other large economies such as China, where per capita consumption is >4000 units per annum and there is substantial potential for its growth. During the last few years, due to implementation of various Govt. initiatives, the condition has improved substantially and today approx. 94% of Indian household is electrified. With improved access coupled with growing consumption, population & economic activities, India is bound to witness a substantial increase in demand for electricity in the coming years.

Your company is focused in the largest portion of India’s power generation. Currently, of the total installed base (IB) of ~356GW,** coal comprises of ~56%, large hydro ~13%, Wind ~10%, Gas ~7%, Solar ~8%, other renewables ~4% and Nuclear power of ~2%. The generation mix however, is quite different with approx. 74% coming from coal power plants.

Conventional sources of electricity are being challenged by a global focus on climate change, which the Government of India (GoI) has vigorously supported through an extensive renewable energy installation program, especially Solar and Wind. This has resulted in renewables sources capturing a significant share of the growth, resources, and available funds for the power sector in the market. While the share of renewables energy in the Indian electricity mix will increase over time, conventional sources will remain vital in order to meet the energy requirements of the growing economy. In fact, their role will evolve in increasingly important ways:

1. Ordering of supercritical thermal power generation plants will continue for the foreseeable future. During FY18-19, orders were placed for ~3GW, and the recently published National Electricity Plan’ 2018 indicates that levels will persist.

STEAM POWER SERVICES

Even as the country has chalked out plans to significantly move towards developing, implementing and deploying renewable technology, coal is still likely to remain the backbone of India''s energy mix. India is endowed with easily accessible and abundant coal reserves (fifth largest globally), which are adequate to meet the energy requirements of the Indian economy for the foreseeable future.

Importantly, coal-based generation, the cheapest and most reliable source of electricity in India, accounts for ~56% of the installed capacity (as on March 2019) and over 74% of our total electricity generation in FY18-19. The plant load factor, a measure of plant utilization (PLF) of coal-based plants, which was declining for several years in the past, has reversed the trend and has picked up marginally (by ~1.2%) to clock ~61% PLF in FY18-19. As per NEP-2018, electricity demand is likely to grow with 5% CAGR with contribution of coal remaining stable through till 2027. This implies that a significant amount of generation will come from Coal plants, which is likely to drive higher levels of spending on O&M. This is one of the growth areas identified by your Company.

As per estimates by various agencies, India was the 3 rd largest emitter of CO2 & PM and 2nd largest emitter of SOx & NOx in the world. The power sector is one of the biggest contributors to these emissions. The efficiency of coal-fired power plants in India is very low, and there is an opportunity and need to retrofit existing coal-fired power plants to increase their efficiency and reduce their carbon emission levels. Majority of the power continues to be generated by subcritical units, where there is an immense need & substantial potential to improve performance. There are various retrofit options available for these units. For instance, after a successful retrofit execution of steam turbine shaftline in India demonstrated over 14% heat rate improvement at the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation''s (GSEC) Ukai & Wanakbori units , your Company also executed steam turbine shaftline retrofit for an industrial captive unit of Hindalco, where we improved the heat rate of the unit by 3% and power output by over 10% over original design. Reconfirming the need of such retrofits in the industry your Company bagged order for similar Steam turbine shaftline retrofit upgrade from Hindalco for additional 2 units at its same site of Renusagar Power Division in FY18-19. Such efficiency improvement projects can help India in achieving a 33% to 35% reduction in the emissions intensity of the country''s GDP by 2030, as per the commitment made per the global treaty and also make electricity more affordable by conserving.

With India''s new coal plant emission regulations in place, which require all utility boilers as well as industrial and captive plant boilers need to modify their firing systems to improve NOx emissions. In September 2018, your Company was selected by NTPC and Tata Chemicals to upgrade two coal-fired boilers in India with low NOx firing system, namely NTPC''s 2x490 thermal plant in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh and the 2x136 TPH Boiler Tata Chemicals Ltd in Mithapur, Gujarat, which was the first standalone order for low NOx firing system upgrade in any coal-fired utility and industrial boilers respectively in India.

Your Company''s Power’s technology will help customers reduce NOx generation by up to 40% from current levels in these units, helping customers meet new MoEF norms.

This was followed by bagging of the first bulk order from NTPC for supply and installation of low NOx combustion systems for its 10 GW of thermal power plant units. This was the first project awarded on such a large scale by NTPC to install this technology at its thermal power plants. The project would be implemented at NTPC’s various selected sites. With more than 150 GW of India’s coal-fired fleet operating on sub-critical levels, needing such upgrade for the implementation of this low NOx boiler technology can help the country reduce its NOx by up to 50 per cent from the current level and help these units meet the new MoEF norms for NOx emissions. By getting these first orders in the NOx upgrade market segment in industrial & utility segment, your company is poised for growth in this market in next 2/3 years.

India is also committed to promote Renewable Energy sources for power generation, and it plans to achieve about 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2030. As a step in this direction, the GoI has taken several initiatives such as setting up the renewable energy capacity addition target to 175GW by 2022. With the increasing share of renewables in the electricity generation-mix, India’s daily ramp up requirement is likely to be 60-80 GW. Some Coal-based units would be required to address flexibility needs arising from day-of-time and weather-based gaps in daily demand / load generation curve. We expect this need for flexibility upgrade of coal units would increase in the future as the renewable penetration grows. With specific flexibility solutions available in the broad basket of service offerings, your company is well prepared to take lead role & support these upcoming needs of the future.

Overall, your Company is well placed to address customers’ specific O&M needs, improve power plant efficiency, reduce CO2/NOx/PM emissions levels & also support with solutions for making existing coal plants more flexible for integrating higher GW of renewable in the future.

Following are some of the order wins & milestones achieved by your Company in FY 2018-19:

- Implementing NOx upgrade solution in 10GW units of NTPC.

Way forward

As coal is likely to remain the mainstay of India’s energy mix for foreseeable future, even as the country moves towards mainstreaming renewables, it’s imperative that making coal power more efficient, cheaper, cleaner and more flexible to support renewable integration are going to be key future demands from the Indian coal power plants.

Several steps in this direction have already been taken by GOI e.g. adopting supercritical technology, deploying higher renewables, coming out with new stricter SOx, NOx, SPM pollution, water consumption norms for thermal & deploying Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme for energy efficiency improvements across key energy intensive sectors. It is expected that these would go through a full implementation phase in the coming years creating substantial opportunities in the power sector. Given the need to balance the growing environment concerns with the objective of providing affordable power to its citizens, it is important for India to manage coal plants with a holistic approach. There are cases where plants are strong candidates for an efficiency improvement or for flexible operations, and for these cases, an integrated approach to address emissions with flexibility/ efficiency retrofit is needed.

Such specific solutions along with leveraging latest digital technologies will ensure coal-based power plants will continue to be the mainstay of India’s power system for a sustainable long run, supplying affordable and reliable power to all Indian citizens, meeting the current as well as future growth aspirations of India.

STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS Operations - The year in review

Electricity is one of the most important engines of growth. Access to affordable electricity improves quality of lives of citizens of any economy. It also opens up avenues of further growth for the economy by improving productivity, and enabling new industrial activities. Your company is focused on this enduring purpose, and is well positioned to be a vital part of the India growth story.

Presently, as per BP Statistical Review of world Energy, India is the 3rd largest consumer of energy and electricity in the world. Inspite of this not all Indian citizens have access to power. Per capita consumption of electricity has improved from 632 units in 2005-06 to ~1200 units in 2017-18. Still, India is ranked very low vis-a-vis other large economies such as China, where per capita consumption is >4000 units per annum. With ~15% of the Indian population having no access to grid connected electricity, and lack of credible reserve margin, India is bound to witness a substantial ‘increase'' in demand for electricity in the coming years.

Your company is focused in the largest portion of the India''s power generation. Currently, of the total installed base (IB) of ~344GW (March 2018, CEA), coal comprises ~57%, large hydro ~13%, Wind ~10%, Gas ~7%, Solar ~6%, other renewable ~4% and Nuclear ~2%. The generation mix however, is quite different with >80% coming from thermal power plants, and ~10% generation from large hydro power plants.

Conventional sources of electricity are being challenged by a global focus on climate change, which the Government of India (GoI) has vigorously supported through an extensive renewable energy installation program, especially Solar and Wind. This has resulted in renewable sources capturing a significant share of the growth, resources, and available funds for the power sector in the market. While the share of renewable in the Indian electricity mix will increase over time, conventional sources will remain vital to meet the energy requirements of the growing economy. In fact, their role will evolve in increasingly important ways:

1. Ordering of high efficient, low emission supercritical thermal power generation plants will continue for the foreseeable future. During FY2018, orders were placed for ~9GW, and the recently published National Electricity Plan indicates that level will persist, with retirements and replacement of old thermal power plants expected to drive the market.

2. By 2022, existing Thermal power plants will become as clean as any in the world - as defined by local pollutants such as SOx and NOx - when outfitted with Air Quality Control technology following GoI''s emission norms.

3. Efficiency enhancements are poised to happen across the country, improving overall plant efficiency, slashing fuel usage and cost, boosting megawatt output, and extending unit life. Furthermore, we see a major reduction in CO2 emissions.

4. Thermal power stations will be called upon to increasingly “balance” the grid when the wind does not blow or the sun does not shine. This positions these stations as essential enablers to the increase of Renewable sources.

5. There is a role for Hydro in India''s power mix. Hydro Pump-Storage Power (PSP) plants are a proven solution, and will present a growth opportunity as a balancing source. There has also been encouraging developments in large hydro projects in the last fiscal year with approximately 1GW ordered, and approximately 2GW already tendered.

Your Company, with more than 100 years of experience in the Indian market, and proven technological leadership, is well-positioned to meet the demand for the power generation market in India. We believe in the people who work every day in India''s thermal and hydro sector; they are ready to make conventional generation sources a relevant, leading part of the sector''s cleaner future.

POWER SERVICES

Within the energy basket, coal is likely to remain the mainstay of India''s energy mix, even as the country moves towards implementing and deploying renewable technology. The country is endowed with easily accessible and abundant coal reserves (fifth largest globally), which are adequate to meet the energy requirements of the Indian economy for the foreseeable future. Importantly, coal based generation, the cheapest and most reliable source of electricity in India, accounts for about 60% of the installed capacity and over 70% of our total electricity generation. The plant utilization (PLF) of coal based plants which was declining for a number of years has stabilized, and as per NEP, this will remain stable through 2027. This implies that a significant amount of generation will come from Coal plants, which will drive higher levels of spending on O&M. This is one of the growth areas identified by Your Company.

As per estimates of various agencies, India was the 3rd largest CO2 emitter and one of the largest SOx, NOx and PM emitter in the world in 2015. The power sector is one of the biggest contributors to these emissions. The efficiency of coal-fired power plants in India is very low, and there is an opportunity to retrofit existing coal-fired power plants to increase their efficiency, and reduce their carbon emission level. About 80% of the power continues to be generated by subcritical units, where there is a substantial potential to improve performance, which will help reduce the variable cost of operations of these units. There are various retrofit options available for these units. For instance, a case study of a successful retrofit execution of steam turbine shaft line in India demonstrated over 14% heat rate improvement at the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation''s (GSEC) Ukai unit (Equivalent to ~162,000 Indian vehicles being taken off the road). These efficiency improvement projects can help India in achieving a 33 to 35 percent reduction in the emissions intensity of the country''s GDP by 2030, as per the commitment made per the global treaty.

India is also committed to promote Renewable Energy sources for power generation, and it plans to achieve about 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2030. As a step in this direction, the GoI has taken several initiatives such as scaling up the renewable energy capacity addition target to 227GW by 2022. With the increasing share of renewable in the electricity generation-mix, India’s daily ramp up requirement is likely to be 60-80 GW. Some Coal-based units would be required to address flexibility needs arising from day-of-time and weather based gaps in daily demand / load generation curve.

Your Company is well placed to address customers’ specific needs and improve the power plant efficiency and reduce emission levels from coal-based thermal power plants. Following are the order wins & milestones achieved by Your Company in FY 2017-18

This followed the successful synchronization to the grid that had happened in July 2017, fully on schedule. The contract is the extension of the Thac Mo hydropower plant that supplies power to the national grid of EVN, covering the southern part of Vietnam.

This project, the first executed in Vietnam by your Company, will become a strong reference in the South East Asia hydropower industry. Since then, your Company has got one more opportunity to collaborate with EVN, when the company was awarded in 2016, an EPC contract for Da Nhim HPP Extension (1x80 MW). The project is running on schedule and is expected to be commissioned in FY18.

- Shuakhevi hydro power project, Georgia - your Company has successfully synchronized the two Francis machines of 89 MW each to the grid, which is now ready to generate electricity. It was a critical event as it was the first Compact High speed Turbine of 89 MW with a speed of 600rpm; and the site team of GE achieved the success in the presence of the customer. The Shuakhevi hydro power project is one of the largest foreign direct investment projects in Georgia to date.

Your Company has another reference at Sikkim state of India with 2x48.5 MW Tashiding project, as the team synchronized it’s two Francis machines at the Tashiding project site on 14 October 2017. The other three successful references being Chuzachen (2x55 MW Francis), Jorethang (2x48 MW Francis) and Dikchu (2x48 MW Francis).

Power Plants are a complex integration of power systems, thereby creating challenging conditions for control, and most plants are often not operated at optimal levels. A typical power plant generates more than 1 TB of data, and less than 2% of this data is used. There is a significant opportunity to capture and analyze this data, and provide insights which will enable power plant operators to make better decisions to optimize plant performance. Implementation of digital solutions will result in plants achieving lower emissions, heat rate improvements by at least 1%, (Equivalent to taking ~2.5 Million vehicles off the road) reduced maintenance expenses and higher plant availability. Industrial internet solutions along with integrated retrofit solutions should be applied to all power plants which have a substantial useful life, but are not performing at the desired levels.

Way forward

Within the energy basket, coal is likely to remain the mainstay of India''s energy mix even as the country moves towards mainstreaming renewable. As a step in this direction, the GoI has taken several initiatives such as scaling up the renewable energy capacity addition target to 227GW by 2022, deploying the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme for energy efficiency improvements across key energy intensive sectors and adopting new stricter pollution standard norms for SOx, NOx, PM, Hg & water consumption for thermal power plants in India. Given the need to balance the growing environment concerns with the objective of providing affordable power to its citizens, it is important for India to manage coal plants with a holistic approach. There are cases where plants are strong candidates for an efficiency improvement or for flexible operations, and for these cases, an integrated approach to address emissions with flexibility/ efficiency retrofit is needed.

These solutions along with the latest digital technologies will ensure coal-based power plants will continue to be the mainstay of India''s power system supplying affordable and reliable power to all Indian citizens, and meeting the growth aspirations of the Indian economy.

STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS

Operations - The year in review

India as a country has been clocking some fast-paced growth over the past few years. Power is one of the most critical components of infrastructure, crucial for economic growth and welfare of the nation. The Indian power sector is undergoing a significant change that has redefined the industry outlook while sustained economic growth continues to drive electricity demand in India. The Government of India’s (‘GoI’) focus on attaining ‘Power for all’ has accelerated capacity addition in the country. India is the 5th largest producer & the 3rd largest consumer of electricity in the world. Although power generation has grown more than 100-fold since independence, growth in demand has been even higher due to accelerating economic activity.

However, the country’s quest to provide universal, secure and affordable electricity supply is far from over. India’s energy consumption per capita is still only around one-third of the global average and around 240 million people in the country still have no access to electricity. As the country struggles to maintain and develop its resources and infrastructure to meet its energy needs, there appear various challenges and opportunities like the possibilities to leverage renewable sources of energy, led by wind and solar, the continued importance of coal, need for ensuring energy security and addressing environmental strains. India witnessed an extraordinary milestone in its power sector, something one would not expect in a developing country and one which is heavily dependent on coal for power generation.

All the developments in the power sector have created opportunities and challenges for the power equipment and services industry. At the same time, the realities of highly volatile fossil fuel prices and stricter environmental regulations necessitate generation of clean electricity utilizing efficient means. Traditionally, the country’s energy mix has been hugely dominated by coal, which currently accounts for 59 percent; gas 7.7 percent and renewables (solar, wind and hydro) 31 percent. The new Supercritical (‘SC’) and Ultra-supercritical (‘USC’) technology is coming in commercial operation in India is bringing in enhanced efficiency, lesser foot print and Cleaner environment. Also, the as well as new plants ordered, under execution are being promoted using SC and USC. Your Company expects that India Energy needs will remain predominately Coal based for Base load as being the cheapest source of Power in spite of an increase in near future share of renewable source of energy. New coal-fired plants in India represent nearly half of the net coal capacity added worldwide. Wind energy is the largest source of renewable energy in India. It accounts for an estimated 56 percent of total installed capacity (32.2GW). There are plans to increase wind power generation capacity to 60GW by 2022. India has also raised the solar power generation capacity addition target by five times to 100GW by 2022.

The Indian Coal market for FY 2016-17 stood at ~7-8GW dominated by SC/USC technology. With GoI’s intent to reduce carbon footprint, SC/USC’s share is likely to grow significantly in the coming years. Your Company, with more than 100 years of experience and proven market leadership, is well-positioned to offer its state-of-the-art, efficient and smart solutions for the power generation market in India.

Policies like Power to all ‘24x7’ by 2019 are GoI’s target to electrify un-electrified villages in the country and ‘Uday Program’ to reinforce Discoms. New environmental norms for SOx, NOx and PM will bring large market for FGDs in the operating plants.

This increase in the power generation capacity is being fuelled by an increasingly affluent population that consumes more per capita than the current standards. With its hardware and software solutions, your Company is well poised to cater to the demand and growth of India’s power sector.

POWER SERVICES

With over 300 billion tonnes of coal deposits, India is the third largest coal producer in the world. New coal-fired plants in India represent nearly half of the net coal capacity added worldwide.

Considering this and the fact that coal-fired power plants account for a major chunk of the total carbon emission in the country and that the overall efficiency of coal-fired power plants in India is very low, an urgent need arises for the rapid renovation and modernization (‘R&M’) of existing coal-fired power plants to increase their efficiency, reduce their carbon emission level and control their auxiliary power consumption. It includes reduction in the emissions intensity of the country’s GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 from 2005 level and to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through afforestation and tree cover by 2030. Apart from that, it also includes to achieve about 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2030.

The new standards are aimed at reducing emission of PM10 (0.98 kg/MWh), sulphur dioxide (7.3 Kg/MWh) and Oxide of nitrogen (4.8 kg/MWh), which will in turn help in bringing about an improvement in the Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) in and around thermal power plants.

Indian power plants use on an average six to eight percent of the total generation as auxiliary power (power that goes to run the equipment) against the world average of three to four percent. Emission control requires more equipment to be run, which adds more auxiliary power. So, there is further efficiency loss by emission control and hence there is need to minimize and recover this loss through efficiency gain in the main generation equipment.

In India, about 20 percent of the installed coal-fired capacity is more than 25 years old and as per a study, 52 percent of the plants are operating at a net plant HR (heat rate) which is >15 percent higher than their design levels. Such plants operating with poor efficiency levels are best suited to deploy R&M intervention solutions.

Depending upon the age of the plant and the efficiency levels, one could deploy targeted efficiency improvement solutions for individual major equipment like steam turbine, boiler and mills or comprehensive R&M solutions covering all equipment together. Global studies, however, suggest that the integrated solution approach, looking at complete plant, gives best results and leads to lowest impact on tariff.

Recently your Company launched Global Powering Efficiency Centre of Excellence (‘COE’), offering solutions to boost efficiency and reduce emissions of existing coal-fired power plants. With its Powering Efficiency COE, your Company will combine the expertise of Power Services, Steam Power Systems, Power Digital Solutions, Global Research Centre and Global Growth Organization. Every point of efficiency reduces operating costs over the lifetime of the plant while also reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 2 percent.

Your Company is well placed to address customers’ specific needs and improve the power plant efficiency and reduce emission levels from coal-based thermal power plants.

Following are some of the key achievements of your Company in FY 2016-17:

1. Won retrofit project of 3x200MW Ansaldo Steam turbines for NTPC Ramagundam to improve efficiency and output

2. Won retrofit project of 2x74MW GE Steam Turbines for Hindalco Industries, Renusagar Power Station to improve heat rate

STATE OF

COMPANY''S AFFAIRS

Operations - The year in review

The Indian economy remained moderate during financial year 2014-15 (FY14-15). First half of the year witnessed very limited activity due to elections in the country as latter half showed movement with new government taking the centerstage. India has very low per capita power consumption of ~970 units per annum as compared to world average of ~3500 units. New government has given priority to address the needs of Infrastructure sector. It has issued an ambitious plan of ''Electricity for all by 2019'', schemes to support power generation sector.

Thermal power sector looked positive with the increase in domestic coal supply. Domestic coal production in FY14-15 went up by >8% over FY13-14 to reach 614 million tonnes. This growth in coal production has improved the coal availability at power stations across the country.

Indian government focused on renewable power sector with various incentives like the National Clean Energy cess which was doubled from Rs.50 to Rs.100 per metric tonne of coal to finance renewable energy initiatives.

Government took following initiatives to broaden the investor base in solar & wind sector.

- Solar energy has great potential as a renewable energy source for India. The new government has revised National Solar Mission plans with ambitious target of ~100 GW by 2022. It plans to achieve the same through installation of 25 Solar parks and Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP) of 500 MW capacity and above by 2019. Government of India (GoI) is supporting solar power through various incentives such as appreciated depreciation, feed in tariff, solar specific RPO (Renewable Purchase Obligation) and REC (Renewable Energy Certificate), financing from international institutions such as Asian Development Bank etc.

- For wind energy, GoI has come up with a target of 60 GW by 2022. In order to achieve this, it has reintroduced ''Accelerated Depreciation benefit'' in 2014. Max cap for Generation Based Incentive increased to Rs.10 million/MW vis-a-vis earlier cap of Rs.6.2 million/MW for Rs.0.50/ unit over the tariff by SERCs. Exemption of SAD (Special Additional Duty) by 4% on raw materials. Reduction of financing charges by 0.50%-0.75% in mid-term to add further impetus.

Government''s flagship program is ''Make in India'' to promote growth of employment in manufacturing sector in India. Taking the positive sentiments forward, in the tough FY14-15, your company successfully completed and won projects in both local as well as global market.

OPeratiOn

the year in review: successful breakthroughs and achievements

The market for power generation equipment was modest during the year

2013-14. The last financial year turned out to be the weakest year in terms of order of new power plants in almost a decade. While the frst two quarters of the financial year for new power plants was lean, in the last two quarters, your Company booked a few orders, mostly from government-owned utilities.

In the thermal power sector, the market was marred by non-availability of coal as well as natural gas. Domestic coal production remained fat during the year and resulted in high imports at major commercial ports to meet the requirements of the power sector.

In the renewable power sector, the rate of addition of hydropower has been extremely low. The issues included land acquisition, environmental and forest clearances, access to the sites (mainly in North East), resettlement and rehabilitation issues and occasional law and order problems. However, with stability in Nepal and agreement on a new project development structure in Bhutan, opportunities for future development of hydropower are expected in the South Asia region.

During the year under review, the total power projects ordered in India was ~14gW out of which your Company participated in 8GW. This includes the electro mechanical package for the largest private hydropower project in India (Ratle) and supply of components for supercritical boilers to Suratgarh, Darlipalli, North karanpura and Banharpali projects.
