Other Events

We incurred a total expense of Rs. 14,172 million with respect to the acquisition, listing and raising of fresh capital in the six months ended September 30, 2021, which was reported as “Listing Expenses” in our statement of profit and loss in the unaudited financial results for the six months ended and for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as reported in Form 6-K dated November 18, 2021. The provisions of IAS 32, requires transaction costs of an equity transaction to be reported as a deduction from equity to the extent costs are directly attributable to the equity transaction. In line with the guidance/clarifications issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee including those issued up to December 2021, we have identified Rs 3,660 million as expenses that are directly attributable to issuance of fresh equity and have charged Rs. 3,660 million directly to equity. Consequently our “loss before tax” and “loss after tax” for the three months and the six months ended September 30, 2021 is lower by Rs. 3,660 million than the numbers reported in the unaudited financial results for the six months ended and for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as reported in Form 6-K dated November 18, 2021. The revised unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2021 along with notes to accounts are attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. This re-classification has no change impact on our “total equity” or “adjusted EBIDTA”.

Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies

 

  2.1.

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34—Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors consider that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt significant doubt over this assumption. They have formed a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s (i.e. RPPL) annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021.

Selected explanatory notes have been included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

 

   

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments included in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021)

 

   

Assets held for sale - measured at fair value less cost to sell

 

   

Share based payments

 

   

Share warrants

 

   

Liability for put options (refer accounting policy below)

Accounting policy for transaction referred in Note 1:

On completion of transaction referred in Note 1, the former shareholders of RPPL become majority shareholders of the Company and have the ability to elect, appoint or remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the Company. There were no material assets or liabilities or operations in the Company prior to this transaction. RMG II is a non-operating entity that does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3. Therefore, for accounting purposes, RPPL is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The transaction has been treated as a capital transaction equivalent to the issue of shares of RPPL in exchange for the net monetary assets acquired and acquisition accounting does not apply.

Consequently, there was no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with IFRS. Any difference in the fair value of the shares deemed to have been issued by the accounting acquirer and the fair value of the accounting acquiree‘s identifiable net assets is considered to be payment for a service of a stock exchange listing and recognised as expenses under head “Listing and related expenses” in the statement of profit or The consolidated financial statements of the Company represent the continuation of the pre-acquisition consolidated financial statements of RPPL. The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect:


ReNew Energy Global Plc

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Amounts in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

(a) the assets and liabilities of the accounting acquirer recognised and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts;

(b) the retained earnings and other equity balances of the accounting acquirer before this transaction, after adjusting amount attributable to NCI recognised;

(c) the amount recognised as issued capital and share premium is determined by adding the issued equity of the accounting acquirer outstanding immediately before this transaction, after adjusting amount attributable to NCI recognised to the fair value consideration effectively transferred. The number and type of equity instruments pre-acquisition reflect the equity structure of RPPL. Post this transaction, the number and type of equity instruments issued, reflects the equity structure of the Company. Refer Note 11 for adjustment carried to number of equity instruments for computation of earnings per share.

(d) the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the accounting acquirer’s pre-combination carrying amounts of retained earnings and other equity interests;

(e) the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the current period reflects that of the accounting acquirer for the full period together with the post-acquisition results of the accounting acquiree.

The consolidated financial statements for year ended 31 March 2021, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2020 and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period 1 April 2021 to 23 August 2021 include financial data pertaining only to RPPL and its subsidiaries.

In conjunction with the transaction (refer Note 23(a)), the Company had issued put options to non-controlling interest holders.

Accounting policy for non-controlling interest put option to be settled in cash by the Company classified as financial liability:

Liability for put option issued to non-controlling interests, to be settled in cash by the Company, which do not grant present access to ownership interest to the Group is recognised at present value of the redemption amount and is reclassified from equity. At the end of each reporting period, the non-controlling interests subject to put option is derecognised and the difference between the amount derecognised and present value of the redemption amount, which is recorded as a financial liability, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) and all values are rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated. Absolute amounts less than INR 500,000 are appearing as “0” due to presentation in millions.

2.2. Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements of RPPL as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021.

2.3. New standards, interpretations and amendments

2.3.1. New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 April 2021. The Group applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning 1 April 2021 but do not have a material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

a) Interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients:

 

   

A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest

 

   

Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued

 

   

Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component

The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

b) (i) COVID-19 related rent concessions: Amendment to IFRS 16

On 28 May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) issued COVID-19 related rent concessions—amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a COVID-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

ii) COVID-19 related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021

The amendment, included in (i) above, was intended to apply until 30 June 2021, but as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing, on 31 March 2021, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to 30 June 2022.The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. The Group has not received COVID-19-related rent concessions but plans to apply the practical expedient if it becomes applicable within allowed period of application.

These amendments had no material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.3.2. Standards issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

Further, the following new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements which are not expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group are disclosed below:

 

   

Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments - Fees in the ‘10 percent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities (effective from 1 January 2022*)

 

   

Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (effective from 1 January 2023*)

 

   

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies (effective from 1 January 2023*)

 

   

Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (effective from 1 January 2022*)

 

   

Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework (effective from 1 January 2022*)

Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (effective from 1 January 2023*#)

 

   

Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective from 1 January 2023*)

*Effective for annual periods beginning on or after this date.

#On 19 November 2021, the IASB issued IFRS Standards Exposure Draft ED/2021/9 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, Proposed Amendments to IAS 1, which will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and will need be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. Early adoption is permitted, but will need to be disclosed. The IASB has also proposed to delay the effective date of the this 2020 amendments accordingly, such that entities will not be required to change current practice before the proposed amendments come into effect.

Impairment of non-financial assets including goodwill and intangible assets under development

Below is the break-up for goodwill and intangible assets under development for each group of cash generating units and individual cash generating units (CGU):

 

Group of CGU / individual CGU

   30 September 2021      31 March 2021  

Ostro Energy Group (wind power segment)

     

Goodwill

     9,903        9,903  

ReNew Vayu Urja (KCT) (wind power segment)

     

Goodwill

     756        756

Goodwill

     428        428  

Others

     

Goodwill

     510        510  

Intangible asset under development*

     74        55  

 

*

Intangible assets under development amounting to INR 13 as at 30 September 2021 (31 March 2021: INR 20) out of the total intangible assets under development pertain to fair value of customer contracts for projects under development acquired as part of business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets under development pertain to various group of CGUs and individual CGUs and a combined test of impairment have been performed.

The Group undertook the impairment testing of Goodwill assigned to each Group of CGU and Individual CGU as at 31 March 2021 and 2020 applying value in use approach across all the Group CGUs and individual CGUs i.e. using cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering contracted power sale agreements with procurers (25 years) using a discount rate range of 10.90 % (pre-tax) per annum for the impairment test as at 31 March 2021 (31 March 2020: 11.40%). The Group has used financial projections over the remaining life of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as the tariff rates are fixed as per PPAs.

Based on the results of the impairment test, the estimated value in use of each Group of CGU and individual CGU was more than the respective carrying values and accordingly no impairment loss provision was recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Details of excess of recoverable amount over carrying value of respective group of CGU / individual CGU (wherever goodwill exists) is as follows:

 

Group of CGU / individual CGU

   31 March 2021      31 March 2020  

Ostro Energy Group (wind power segment)

     3,090        4,106  

ReNew Vayu Urja (KCT) (wind power segment)

     2,727        1,628  

Prathamesh Solarfarms (solar power segment)

     1,775        586  

The Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which value in use is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of CGU (including goodwill) to exceed the aggregate value in use of each Group of CGU and individual CGU.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations for each group of CGU and individual CGU unit are as follows:

 

(i) Discount rate: [Pre-tax Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)]    10.90 % per annum as at 31 March 2021 discount rate has been derived based on current cost of borrowing and equity rate of return based on the current market expectations.
(ii) Plant load factor (PLF)    Plant load factor for future periods are estimated for each group of CGU and individual CGU based on report from expert.

(iii) Collection of revenue as per PPA rate and Generation Based Incentive (GBI) in acquired projects located in Andhra Pradesh state will be realised as per the projections and would not be impacted by the ongoing legal proceedings because management believes that matter will be concluded in favour of Group as mentioned in Note 22.

As at 30 September 2021 and 2020, there were no indicators for impairment for any of the CGUs and hence, the management has not updated any of the impairment calculations. From last impairment testing till reporting date there is no material change in assumptions, conditions and sensitivity information. Further, no indicator for impairment existed either as at 31 March 2021 or 30 September 2021 in any of the individual CGUs where no goodwill was assigned.

Terms / rights attached to equity shares of RPPL

RPPL has only one class of equity shares having par value of INR 10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. If declared, the Group will declare and pay dividends in Indian rupees. In the event of liquidation of a Group, the holders of equity shares of such Group will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Group, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders of the Group.

The equity shares were redeemable at the option of the holders till 23 August 2021 and therefore, were considered a puttable instrument in accordance with IAS 32. Puttable instruments are required to be accounted for as financial liabilities, except where certain conditions are met in accordance with IAS 32, in which case, the puttable instruments may be presented as equity. The equity shares meet the conditions of IAS 32 and are, therefore, classified and accounted for as equity. Pursuant to the BCA (refer Note 2), ReNew Energy Global Plc became legal parent of RPPL. Post this transaction, the number and type of equity instruments issued, reflects the equity structure of the ReNew Global.

*

The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period ended 30 September 2021:

 

(a)

the number of ordinary shares outstanding from 1 April 2021 to 23 August 2021 is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares of RPPL outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the Transaction (i.e., 1 RPPL share to 0.8289 Company Share); and

 

(b)

the number of ordinary shares outstanding from 24 August 2021 to 30 September 2021 is the actual number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during that period.

 

**

The earnings per share disclosed for period ended 30 September 2020 is calculated by dividing:

 

(a)

Profit or loss of RPPL attributable to ordinary shareholders; by

 

(b)

RPPL’s historical weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the Transaction (i.e., 1 RPPL share to 0.8289 Company Share).

 

@

Class B share is not considered as the most subordinate to other classes of equity instruments as per IAS 33. Refer Note 8 for terms of Class B ^ Class D share is a redeemable share and therefore, is not considered as ordinary shares as per IAS 33. Refer Note 8 for terms of Class D share.

Since the effect of all potential equity shares was anti-dilutive in six months ended September 2021 and 2020, it has not been considered for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share.

Disposal group held for sale

On 28 September 2020, the board of directors approved the plan to sell 300 MW Pavagada solar project housed in Adyah Solar Energy Private Limited (Adyah Solar), a wholly owned subsidiary which falls under solar power reportable segment. The Group had entered into a sale and purchase agreement dated 31 October 2020 for sale of 100% shareholding in Adyah Solar to Ayana Renewable Power Private Limited. On 28 September 2020, the loss of control over Adyah Solar within the next twelve months became highly probable and met the criteria to be classified as a disposal group held for sale and accordingly, assets and liabilities related to the Adyah Solar were classified as held for sale. The transaction was completed on 15 February 2021.

A. Impairment losses relating to the disposal group

The total consideration for the sale is approximately INR 5,110 against the net assets of the entity are INR 5,384 (excluding deferred tax assets of INR 279). Since total consideration for sale is lower than net assets of the entity disposed, the Group has derecognised deferred tax assets of INR 279, with the corresponding amount recognised under deferred tax expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss. Further, asset held for sale during the reporting period was measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value (less cost to sell) at the time of reclassification resulting in a recognition of write-down of INR 274 as impairment loss under other expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Share based payment

 

a)

Equity settled share-based payment (ESOP) transactions by RPPL

RPPL until 23 August 2021 had five share-based payment schemes for its employees: 2018 Stock Option Plan, 2017 Stock Option Plan, 2016 Stock Option Plan, 2014 Stock Option Plan and 2011 Stock Option Plan (‘Group Stock Option Plans’) approved by the board.

According to these schemes, the employee selected by the compensation committee from time to time will be entitled to options as per grant letter issued by the compensation committee, subject to satisfaction of prescribed vesting conditions. The employees will be issued equity share of the Company on exercises of these Group Stock Option Plans.

During the period ended 30 September 2021, Nil (30 September 2020: 300,000) share options were granted to the employees. The weighted average exercise price of these options granted during this period was INR Nil per option (30 September 2020: INR 301 per option). The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using Black-Scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted. The fair values of options granted during the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 were estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

     For the six months ended
     30 September 2021      30 September 2020

Dividend yield (%)

     —        3.4%

Expected volatility (%)

     —        22%

Risk–free interest rate (%)

     —        4.16 - 5.82%

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options granted during current period

     —        6.17 years

Weighted average share price (in INR per share)

     —        420

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

 

b)

Repurchase of vested stock options by RPPL

During the period ended 30 September 2020, RPPL undertook a one-time partial liquidity scheme for outstanding ESOPs, wherein, maximum 40% options vested as on 31 July 2020 out of options granted up to 31 March 2018 were eligible for surrender for INR 420 per option. The total number of options opted by employees for surrender were 2,592,557 options. Settlement has been done by RPPL in the form of ex-gratia payment equal to value accreted against the surrendered options subject to and net of applicable tax deduction at source. All applicable taxes are to be borne by the employee. Surrendered options are subject to value adjustment in case RPPL or any of its holding company issues primary securities or on signing of any definitive agreements before 31 July 2021 at higher / lower than INR 420 per share (adjusted for capital restructurings, consolidations, split etc.).

Actual adjustments for upside or downside will be settled post completion of the deal. Upsides shall accrue to an employee only if they continue in employment as of 31 July 2021. Employee shall be liable for downside value adjustment even if he or she ceased employment. If no deal is completed by 31 October 2021, the deal will be disregarded for adjustments.

The details of repurchase of vested stock options are as follows:

Total consideration paid for repurchase of vested stock options (a)

Fair value of the vested stock options repurchased, measured at the repurchase date, recognised in equity (b)*

     650  

Excess consideration paid recognised in statement of profit or loss (a) - (b)

     31  
  

 

 

 

 

*

The fair value of vested stock options was estimated at the date of repurchase using Black-Scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted using following inputs as at 31 July 2020.

 

Particulars

   30 September 2020

Share price per share at measurement date

   420

Expected volatility

   22%

Dividend yield

   3.40%

Risk-free interest rate

   4.16% - 5.92%
  

 

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

RPPL during period ended 30 September 2021 repurchased 264,480 vested options of two of its employees who passed away due to COVID-19 and has paid INR 89 at fair value of options on the date of repurchase.

 

c)

Cash settled share based payments arising out of a one-time partial liquidity scheme (refer note b above)

The carrying amount of the liability (included in employee benefit liabilities) relating to the cash settled share based payments at 30 September 2021 was INR Nil (31 March 2021: INR 102). RPPL had settled all of the outstanding the cash settled options on 23 August 2021 by paying cash of INR 201.75 per option, as per terms of these options, which resulted in total outflow of INR 524 during six month ended 30 September 2021.

d)

Replacement of Group Stock Option Plans

On 24 August 2021, all vested and unvested option outstanding for Group Stock Option Plans were replaced by the ‘2021 Stock Entitlement Program’ of the Company (‘Holding Company Stock Option Plans’). The employees of the Group were entitled to 0.8289 Holding Company Stock Option for every one Group Stock Option held for both vested and unvested options with no changes in vesting period and exercise period. The exercise price of Group Stock Option, which was fixed in INR, got converted into US Dollars using exchange rate as on the date of replacement, as exercise price of Holding Company Stock Option.

The Holding Company Stock Option Plans granted to the employees will be settled in Class A share of the Company. Therefore, the Holding Company Stock Option Plans have been classified as an equity settled share based payment. The replacement of Group Stock Option Plans with Holding Company Stock Option Plans is identified as replacement plan and accounted for as a modification of the Group Stock Option Plans. ESOP expenses [grant date fair value as per Group Stock Option Plans plus incremental fair value (if any) measured at the date of replacement] related to employees of the Group are recognised as employees’ expenses, over vesting period. The modification reduces the fair value of the stock options granted, measured immediately before and after the modification, and therefore the Group has not taken into account that decrease in fair value and had continued to measure the amount recognised for services received based on the grant date fair value of the Group Stock Option Plans granted. Pursuant to replacement of stock options, on the date of replacement, 6,933,865 vested and 7,146,270 unvested option of Group Stock Option Plans got replaced with 5,747,481 vested and 5,923,543 unvested Holding Company Stock Option Plans.

The fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of replacement using Black-Scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted. Following are the assumptions used in valuation of Group Stock Option Plans and Holding Company Stock Option Plan as on the date of replacement:

14 Share warrants

Prior to consummation of the Transaction (Refer Note 23(a)), RMG II had issued warrants having rights to purchase its Class A equity shares. As part of the transaction, the Company has issued warrants to these warrants’ holders (refer below for terms of these warrants), which will entitle these warrants holders to purchase Company’s Class A equity shares. These warrants are classified to be derivative instruments and as such, are recorded at fair value through profit or loss account.

The Company will continue to adjust the fair value of the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period for changes in fair value from the prior period until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the applicable warrants or until such time that the warrants are no longer determined to be derivative instruments.

The details of warrants issued are as follows:

Public warrants:

The Company has 11,500,000 outstanding public warrants as at 30 September 2021, having an exercise price of USD 11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and are exercisable during the period beginning 14 December 2021 and ending on 23 August 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants after they become exercisable per the terms of the warrants agreement. The fair value of the public warrants was determined using the market trading price which as at 30 September 2021 was USD 1.53 (23 August 2021 USD 1.27).

Private warrants:

The Company has 7,026,807 outstanding private warrants as at 30 September 2021, having an exercise price of USD 11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and are exercisable during the period beginning 14 December 2021 and ending on 23 August 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants after they become exercisable per the terms of the warrants agreement. The fair value of the private warrants as at 30 September 2021 was USD 2.49 (23 August 2021 USD 1.27).

The fair value of the private warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the following assumptions:

   30 September 2021   23 August 2021

Share price

   USD 10.5   USD 10.5

Risk-free interest rate

Income taxes

In order to determine the provision for income taxes, the Group uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the jurisdiction in which the Group companies operate. The effective tax rates for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 differ from the statutory tax rate primarily due to certain non-deductible items, difference in tax rates and impact of tax

The Group makes various assumptions and estimates while computing taxes which include production related data (PLFs), projected operations and maintenance costs, projected finance costs, proposed availment of deduction under section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the period over which such deduction shall be availed, usage of brought forward losses etc. While these assumptions are based on best available facts in the knowledge of management as at the reporting date, however, they are subject to change year on year depending on the actual tax laws and other variables in the respective year / period. Given that the actual assumptions which would be used to file the return of income shall depend upon the tax laws prevailing in respective year, management shall continue to reassess these assumptions while calculating the taxes on each reporting date and the impact due to such change, if any, is considered in the respective year / period.

Financial guarantees

During January 2021, RPPL had provided financial guarantee on the loans obtained by the shareholder, Wisemore Advisory Private Limited amounting to INR 4,900, being the maximum Group exposure, towards non-convertible debentures for a 7-month period. In the event of default, the Group will have to repay the non-convertible debentures. The Group has not received any consideration for guarantee given. The Group had initially measured financial guarantee at fair value amounting INR 121 with corresponding amount recognised in equity as distributions to equity shareholder. The said guarantee was revoked in August 2021.

According to Group’s policy amortisation is calculated on straight-line basis until maturity of the contract. During the six months ended 30 September 2021, an amortisation of INR 78 (30 September 2020: INR Nil) has been recognised under head “other income” in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Segment information

The Chairman and Managing Director of the Company takes decisions in respect of allocation of resources and assesses the performance basis the reports/ information provided by functional heads and is thus considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group discloses segment information in a manner consistent with internal reporting to Chairman and Managing Director. The Group entities have segments based on type of business operations. The reportable segments of Group under IFRS 8 are Wind Power and Solar Power which predominantly relate to generation and sale of electricity and construction activities. Other operations of the Group primarily include sale of electricity from Hydro power. These “Other” operations do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds to be a reportable segment for any of the periods presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore reported under “Others”.

The Group entities does not operate in more than one geographical segment. The Group discloses in the segment information Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), where EBITDA is measured on the basis of profit/(loss) from continuing operations. The Group measures EBITDA as loss / (profit) after tax plus (a) income tax expense, (b) share in loss of jointly controlled entities, (c) finance costs and (d) depreciation and amortisation.

No operating segment has been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments. Further, total assets and liabilities balance for each reportable segment is not reviewed by or provided to the CODM.

The management of the Group assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables (current), bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, short term loans, trade payables, short term interest-bearing loans and borrowings, other current financial liabilities and other current financial assets approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

For all other instruments, following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

 

i)

Fair values of the Group’s term loans from banks, term loans from financial institutions, non-convertible debentures, acceptances and senior secured notes including current maturities are determined by using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate (prevailing interest rate in the market) as at the end of the reporting period. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including own credit risk. The own non-performance risk as at 30 September 2021 and 31 March 2021 was assessed to be insignificant.

ii)

Fair values of the liability component of compulsory convertible preference shares and compulsory convertible debentures determined by using DCF method using discount rate that reflects the borrowing rate (prevailing interest rate in the market) as at the end of the reporting period. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including own credit risk. The own non-performance risk as at 30 September 2021 and 31 March 2021 was assessed to be insignificant.

 

iii)

Fair values of the non-current trade receivables, bank deposits, security deposits given are determined by using DCF method using discount rate that reflects the lending rate (prevailing interest rate in the market) as at the end of the reporting period. They are classified as level 3 fair values in fair value hierarchy due to inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

 

iv)

The Group enter into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Cross currency interest rate swaps are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The models incorporate various fair value level 2 inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the currency, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying instrument. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships.

Fair value hierarchy

The Group categorises assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels depending on the ability to observe inputs employed in their measurement which are described as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

   

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

 

   

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. There were no changes in the Group’s valuation processes, valuation techniques, and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period.

There were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no material transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements during the six months ended 30 September 2021. There were no changes in the Group’s valuation processes, valuation techniques, and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period.

Risk management activities

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from imports of goods and foreign currency borrowings. The Group hedges its exposure to fluctuations on the translation into INR of its buyer’s/supplier’s credit by using foreign currency swaps and forward contracts. The Group has followed a conservative approach for hedging the foreign currency risk so as to not use complex forex derivatives and foreign currency loan. The Group also monitors that the hedges do not exceed the underlying foreign currency exposure. The Group does not undertake any speculative

During the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Group recognised loss of INR 3,115 (30 September 2020: INR 3,352) in hedge reserve under other comprehensive income and a gain of INR 19 (30 September 2020: loss of INR 20) was reclassified to statement of profit or loss under head “finance costs”. Further, loss of INR 581 (30 September 2020: INR 16) has been reclassified to carrying value of property, plant and equipment as basis adjustment. There is no ineffectiveness in the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020.

Commitments, liabilities and contingencies (to the extent not provided for)

 

(i)

Contingent liabilities

 

Description

   As at
30 September 2021
     As at
31 March 2021
 
Contingent liabilities on account of liquidated damages for delay in project commissioning. The management believes that any amount of liquidated damages to be levied by customer shall be entirely reimbursable from capital vendors of respective projects and from purchase consideration pending to be paid as per the contract clauses, accordingly no amount is provided in consolidated financial statementsas at 30 September 2021 and 31 March 2021.      841        917  

VAT, GST, service tax, entry tax matters #

     52        91  

Income tax disallowances / demands under litigation #@

     82        40  

 

#

The Group is contesting demands of direct and indirect taxes and the management, including its tax advisors, believe that its positions will likely be upheld in the appellate process. No tax expense has been accrued in the financial statements for the demands raised.

@

There is an additional disallowance/addition to returned income for INR 440 of RPPL under section 37 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for share based payment expenses. The management believes that any unfavourable judgement will not have any impact as this will be eligible for set off against unabsorbed losses / depreciation. Accordingly, no amount has been provided in consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2021 and 31 March 2021. Also, considering deferred tax asset has not been recognised on tax losses, therefore, the Group does not expect to have any material impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss in case of unfavourable outcome.

 

(ii)

Commitments

Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for in the financial statements

As at 30 September 2021, the Group has capital commitment (net of advances) pertaining to commissioning of wind and solar energy projects of INR 27,721 (31 March 2021: INR 55,483).

Guarantees

The Group has obtained guarantees from financial institutions as a part of the bidding process for establishing renewable projects. Further, the Group issues irrevocable performance bank guarantees in relation to its obligation towards construction and transmission infrastructure of renewable power projects plants as required by the PPA and such outstanding guarantees are INR 14,882 as at 30 September 2021 (31 March 2021: INR 13,218).

Legal matters

(a) Dispute with Southern Power Distribution Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited

Certain subsidiaries companies (AP entities) have entered into long-term PPAs having a cumulative capacity of 777 MWs (wind and solar energy projects) with Southern Power Distribution Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited i.e. the distribution company of Andhra Pradesh (APDISCOM). These PPAs have a fixed rate per unit of electricity for the 25 year term. With regard to aforementioned PPAs, certain litigations as described below are currently underway:

a. In terms of the Generation Based Incentive (GBI) scheme of the Ministry of Renewable Energy (MNRE), the AP entities accrue income based on units of power supplied under the aforementioned PPAs. Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) vide its order in July 2018 allowed APDISCOMS to interpret the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination for Wind Power Projects) Regulations, 2015 (Regulations) in a manner to treat GBI as a pass through in the tariff.

The AP entities filed writ petition before the Andhra Pradesh High Court (AP High Court) challenging the vires of the regulation and the order by APERC and were granted an interim stay order in August 2018. As at 30 September 2021, the cumulative amount recoverable from the APDISCOM pertaining to period from February 2017 till July 2018, included in trade receivables amounts to INR 1,004 million. The AP entities have filed an interim application in AP High Court seeking payment of amount wrongfully deducted by the APDISCOM.

The management basis legal opinion obtained by it, believes that the GBI benefit is over and above the applicable tariffs and the APERC does not have jurisdiction to interfere with the intent of GBI scheme and therefore the outstanding amount is recoverable and hence no adjustment has been made in the consolidated financial statements in this regard.

b. The Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) issued an order (GO) dated 1 July 2019 constituting a High-Level Negotiation Committee (HLNC) for review and negotiation of tariff for wind and solar energy projects in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Pursuant to the GO, APDISCOM issued letters dated 11 July 2019 and 12 July 2019 to the AP entities, requesting for revision of tariffs entered into in PPAs. The AP entities filed a writ petition on 23 July 2019 before the AP High Court challenging the GO and the said letters issued by APDISCOM for renegotiation of tariffs. The AP High Court issued its order dated 24 September 2019 enumerating the following:

i. Writ petition is allowed, and both GO and the subsequent letters are set aside.

ii. Further, APDISCOM were instructed to honour pending and future bills and pay the same at the interim rate of INR 2.43 per unit till determination of O.P. No. 17 of 2018 pending before APERC.

iii. APERC to dispose-off the case within a time frame of six months.

The AP Entities have filed a Writ Appeal before the division bench of the AP High Court challenging the jurisdiction of APERC in entertaining Original Petition (O.P.) No. 17 of 2018. Parallelly, the AP Entities have filed another Writ Appeal before the division bench of the AP High Court challenging AP High Court’s direction to the APDISCOM to pay tariff at interim rate till determination of OP No. 17 of 2018 by APERC.

Thereafter, certain power generating companies other than ReNew Group have filed petitions under Article 139 of the Constitution of India before the Supreme Court seeking transfer of the proceedings pending before the Division Bench of the High Court, and for adjudication of the same by the Supreme Court.

APDISCOM has also filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court in October 2020 against the Judgment and order dated 19 December 2019 in I.A. No. 9 of 2019 in W.P. No. 9876 of 2019 of another power generating company in the industry, which modified the Order dated 24 September 2019, passed by Single Judge of AP High Court and directed APDISCOM to make payments at the rate mentioned in PPAs. The AP Entities through its Holding Company, ReNew Power Private Limited, has filed an impleadment application in the SLP apprehending that any order or observation of the Supreme Court may have an adverse impact on the Order dated 24 September 2019 and W.A. No. 6 of 2020 and batch pending before Division Bench of the AP High Court.

(b) Dispute with Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission

Distribution companies of the state of Karnataka issued demand notices to captive users (customers of certain Group’s subsidiaries) and to the respective captive plants (hereinafter refer to as the “SPVs”), alleging that captive users had not consumed energy in proportion to their respective shareholding in the SPVs, thereby failing to maintain their Captive Status in accordance with Rule 3 of the Electricity Rules, 2005, and consequently, were liable to pay cross subsidy surcharge and differential between rate of electricity tax applicable on the energy consumed in the entire year.


ReNew Energy Global Plc

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Amounts in INR millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

SPVs had deposited a sum of INR 114 (31 March 2021: INR 114) under protest against the demand raised by distribution companies amounting INR 298 (31 March 2021: INR 298) in relation to the demand notices up to financial year ended 31 March 2018. Thereafter, the SPVs had filed petitions before the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) contesting these demands.

KERC had granted interim relief and stayed the demand notice and disconnection by the distribution companies till final adjudication of the petitions. The amount paid under protest has been accounted for as recoverable and disclosed under head “Other current assets” in these financial statements.

Apart from above, a sum of INR 188 has been demanded by distribution companies from some of the captive users of the SPVs towards energy supplied till 30 September 2021, alleging that the captive user had not consumed energy in proportion to its respective shareholding in the SPVs. The SPVs have filed a writ petitions in July 2019 and August 2020 before the High Court of Karnataka challenging such demands and seeking their quashing. The High Court, vide Orders dated 18 July 2019, 18 December 2019, 18 September 2020 and 6 October 2020, has directed that no precipitative action shall be taken on these demand notices till final adjudication of the petitions.

The SPVs, based on legal advice obtained, believes that there are merits in its position and that the demand raised by distribution companies would be rescinded by relevant legal authorities and hence no adjustment has been made in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this regard.

(c) Order of the Supreme Court of India to underground high-tension power lines

In earlier years, a petition in public interest (the “Writ Petition”) was filed before the Supreme Court of India to seek directions to save two protected species of birds in the state of Rajasthan and Gujarat (the ‘Birds’) stating that these Birds collide with overhead transmission lines and suffer injuries or die. During the current period, on 19 April 2021, the Supreme Court has ordered (the “Order”) for all existing and future power lines to be undergrounded, subject to feasibility in case of high-tension power lines. As at 30 September 2021, the Group has a total of 5,250.8 MW of power projects, of which 2687.6 MW are commissioned and projects with 2,563.2 MW are under development in the area impacted by the Order.

The Group along with other companies in the industry affected by the Order are in the process of evaluating its legality and are contemplating filing an application to challenge or seek appropriate directions, clarifications of the Order. An application has been filed by the Solar Power Developers Association (of which the Company is a member) before the Supreme Court seeking re-consideration and modification of the Order. Further, management, basis legal opinion obtained by it believes that the additional cost that will be incurred by the Group shall be recovered from customers under respective PPAs through provisions relating to change in law and force majeure and hence no financial implication is likely to devolve on the Group. Also, under the current circumstances, owing to COVID – 19 related lockdowns, it is impracticable to assess the same on the ground or to get the feasibility studies carried out.

Pending the evaluation of future legal course of action, impracticability to assess the operational and financial impact under the current scenario and potential recovery of cost from customers, no effect has been given in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of COVID-19

Due to outbreak of COVID-19 in India and globally, the Group has continued its assessment of likely adverse impact on economic environment in general and financial risks on account of COVID-19. Considering that the Group is in the business of generation of electricity which is an essential service as emphasised by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Power, Government of India and which is granted “Must Run” status by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the management believes that the impact of outbreak on the business and financial position of the Group is not significant.

Further, MNRE directed that the payment to Renewable Energy power generator shall be done on regular basis as being done prior to lockdown and the Group has generally received regular collection from its customer(s). The management does not see any risks in the Group ability to continue as a going concern and has been able to service all debts obligations during the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020, however in certain cases has opted for moratorium for interest and principal instalments falling due to lenders under the “Reserve Bank of India’s COVID 19 – Regulatory Package dated 27 March 2020”. The Group is closely monitoring developments, its operations, liquidity and capital resources and is actively working to minimise the impact of the unprecedented situation.
