The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the UK version of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (2014/596) which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended and supplemented from time to time.

Chairman's Statement

H1 FY25 saw the Company continuing the trend of FY24. The Company was able to increase power generation and consequently the operating revenues as compared to H1 FY24. OPG's business model is robust and is strategic to the opportunities in the Indian Power sector. The trend in FY24 continued in FY25 with the supplies to state electricity boards through long-term and short-term contracts . The continued stability in coal prices enabled the company to sustain margins.

With a GDP growth rate of 7.8 percent (Source: IMF World Economic Outlook Projections, April 2024), India also witnessed a surge in power demand of approximately 7.02 percent during FY 24. This trend is expected to continue year on year for the next decade.

India is on track to become the world's third largest economy in the years to come and the country's rapid economic growth and burgeoning population have continued to create a significant demand for energy, prompting the country to undergo a transformative shift in its power sector. Currently, while India ranks third in total power consumption globally, it is significantly lagging in per capita consumption. The demand for energy will continue to increase not only in the industrial sector but also in the retail sector where the retail customer will have an increased reliance on energy due to a rise in temperature, improved lifestyle and increasing purchasing power. The Government of India's initiatives have improved the state utilities financial health, thus enhancing the investment climate for power generation and transmission.

As at 31 October 2024, the total generation capacity of India reached 454 GW of which 218 GW is from thermal sources. Compared with the 48% share in installed capacity, the thermal sector contributed 71% of India's electricity generated during April to October 2024, with an average PLF of 69.8% from thermal plants.  Out of total generation of 1097 billion units during first 7 months of the current year, generation from coal based plants was 780 billion units, demonstrating the higher reliance of the country on coal based power plants to meet the country's energy requirements.

On 11 & 12 November 2024, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Chennai Zonal Office, conducted search operations at various premises associated with the OPG Group, as part of an investigation into alleged violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Regulations. The Company would like to assure our stakeholders that the Company has fully cooperated with the authorities throughout this process and has provided all requested business-related information in a timely manner. The Company remains committed to adhering to all applicable regulations and will continue to offer full cooperation with the enforcement authorities. The Company are confident in the integrity of our operations and will promptly supply any additional details that may be required by the relevant authorities.

The Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet and liquidity position which provides OPG with the financial strength and latitude to pursue new growth opportunities in energy transition.

The increase in electricity demand and transformation in the power sector in India provides a prime opportunity for OPG to continue to generate profitable revenues through its sustainable operations.

The Company expects to continue to generate strong cash flows from its operations.

	The following standards and amendments to IFRS became effective for the period beginning on 1 January 2022 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements:
	• IFRS 1, 'First time adoption of IFRS' has been amended for a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent. The subsidiary may elect to measure cumulative translation differences for foreign operations using the amounts reported by the parent at the date of the parent's transition to IFRS.
	• IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments' has been amended to include only those costs or fees paid between the borrower and the lender in the calculation of "the 10% test" for derecognition of a financial liability. Fees paid to third parties are excluded from this calculation.
	• IFRS 16, 'Leases', amendment to the Illustrative Example 13 that accompanies IFRS 16 to remove the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements. The amendment intends to remove any potential confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.
I	Amendments to IFRS 16, Covid 19 "related rent concessions"
	The amendments permit lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the Covid-1 pandemic are lease modifications and instead, to account for those rent concessions as they were not in lease modifications. Initially, these amendments were to apply until 2021.
Ii	Amendments to IFRS 16, Covid 19 "related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021"
	In light of the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing, the LASB extended the application period of the practical expenditure with respect to accounting for Covid-19-related rent concessions through June 30, 2022
Iii	Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16 "Interest rate benchmark reform (phase 2)"
	IFRS9. IAS 39, IFRS 7, The amendments provide temporary relief to adopters regarding the financial reporting impact that will result from replacing Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) with alternative risk-free rates (RFRS). The amendments provide for the following practical expedients: Treatment of contract modifications or changes in contractual cash flows due directly to the Reform-such as fluctuations in a market interest rate-as changes in a floating rate, allow changes to the designation and documentation of a hedging relationship required by IBOR reform without discontinuing hedge accounting. Temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk comes in connection with the IBOR Reform.
Iv	Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform"
	In September 2019, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform." The Phase 1 amendments of the IASB's Interest Rate Benchmark Reform project (IBOR reform) provide for temporary exemption from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to hedging relationships that are directly affected by IBOR reform. The exemptions have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge relationships to be terminated due to uncertainty about when and how reference interest rates will be replaced. However, any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the income statement under both IAS 39 and IFRS 9. Furthermore, the amendments set out triggers for when the exemptions will end, which include the uncertainty arising from IBOR reform. The amendments have no impact on Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.
V	Amendments to IFRS 4, "Extension of the temporary exemption from IFRS 9"
	Deferral of initial application of IFRS 9 for insurers
c)	Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Applicable
	The IASB and the IFRS IC have issued the following additional standards and interpretations. Group does not apply these rules because their application is not yet mandatory. Currently, however, these adjustments are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group:
I	Amendments to IAS 16-proceeds before intended use
	The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the Company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
Ii	Amendments to IAS 37-Onerous contracts-cost of Fulfilling a contract
	Clarification that all costs directly attributable to a contract must be considered when determining the cost of fulfilling the contract.
Iii	Amendments to IFRS 3-Reference to the Conceptual Framework
	Reference to the revised 2018 IFRS Conceptual Framework. Priority application of LAS 37 or IFRIC 21 by the acquirer to identify acquired liabilities. No recognition of contingent assets acquired allowed.
Iv	Annual Improvements Project-Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 Cycle
	Minor amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41.
V	IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts including Amendments to IFRS 17"
	The new IFRS 17 standard governs the accounting for insurance contracts and supersedes IFRS 4.
Vi	Amendment to IFRS 17-Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9-Comparative Information
	The amendment concerns the transitional provisions for the initial joint application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9.
Vii	Amendments to IAS 1-Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Amendments to IAS 1-Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current-Deferral of Effective Date
	Clarification that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on the rights the entity has at the end of the reporting period.
Viii	Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2-Disclosure of Accounting Policies
	Clarification that an entity must disclose all material (formerly "significant") accounting policies. The main characteristic of these items is that, together with other information included in the financial statements, they can influence the decisions of primary users of the financial statements.
Ix	Amendments to IAS 8-Definition of Accounting Estimates
	Clarification with regard to the distinction between changes in accounting policies (retrospective application) and changes in accounting estimates (prospective application).
X	Amendments to IAS 12-Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single transaction.
	Clarification that the initial recognition exemption of IAS 12 does not apply to leases and decommissioning obligations. Deferred tax is recognized on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities arising from such transactions.

5		Summary of significant accounting policies
a)		Basis of preparation
		The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at FVPL.
		The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and have been presented in Great Britain Pounds ('₤'), the functional and presentation currency of the Company.
		Going Concern
		1.     In response to the recent global challenges, including the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which have led to significant increases in commodity prices and inflation, particularly impacting coal prices, the Group has proactively performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used for business projections and based on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered and no material impact on the financial results inter-alia including the carrying value of various current and non-current assets are expected to arise for the year ended 31 March 2025. 2.     Despite the volatility in commodity prices and inflationary pressures, the Group's financial health remains resilient. 3.     The Group has implemented robust risk management strategies, including cost control measures and operational efficiencies, which have helped in managing the increased financial pressures. 4.     The Group's ability to adapt to changing market conditions and rapidly implement strategic adjustments has been crucial in sustaining the Group's performance through these challenging times.
b)		Basis of consolidation
		The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of the operation of the Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 31 March 2024. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 March.
		A subsidiary is defined as an entity controlled by the Company. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which effective control is acquired by the Group, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
		All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
		Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders' equity. Acquisitions of additional stake or dilution of stake from/ to non-controlling interests/ other venturer in the Group where there is no loss of control are accounted for as an equity transaction, whereby, the difference between the consideration paid to or received from and the book value of the share of the net assets is recognised in 'other reserve' within statement of changes in equity.
c)		Investments in associates and joint ventures
		Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.
		Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.
d)		List of subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates
		Details of the Group's subsidiaries and joint ventures, which are consolidated into the Group's consolidated financial statements, are as follows:
		i) Subsidiaries
		Subsidiaries			Immediate parent	Country of incorporation					% Voting Right					% Economic interest
		September 2024			March 2024		September2024			March 2024
		Caromia Holdings limited ('CHL')			OPGPV	Cyprus					100			100		100			100
		Gita Power and Infrastructure Private Limited, ('GPIPL')			CHL	India					97.58			97.73		97.58			97.73
		OPG Power Generation Private Limited ('OPGPG')			GPIPL	India					99.82			99.82		99.82			99.82
		Samriddhi Surya Vidyut Private Limited			OPGPG	India					100.00			100.00		100.00			100.00
		Powergen Resources Pte Ltd			OPGPV	Singapore					100.00			100.00		100.00			100.00
	e)			Foreign currency translation
				The functional currency of the Company is the Great Britain Pound Sterling (£). The Cyprus entity is an extension of the parent and pass through investment entity. Accordingly the functional currency of the subsidiary in Cyprus is the Great Britain Pound Sterling. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries operating in India, determined based on evaluation of the individual and collective economic factors is Indian Rupees ('₹' or 'INR'). The presentation currency of the Group is the Great Britain Pound.
				At the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the Group are translated into the presentation currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and the income and expense for each statement of profit or loss are translated at the average exchange rate (unless this average rate is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expense are translated at the rate on the date of the transactions). Exchange differences are charged/ credited to other comprehensive income and recognized in the currency translation reserve in equity.
				Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the Statement of financial position date are translated into functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Aggregate gains and losses resulting from foreign currencies are included in finance income or costs within the profit or loss.
				INR exchange rates used to translate the INR financial information into the presentation currency of Great Britain Pound (£) are the closing rate as at 30 September 2024: 112.16 (2024: 105.28) and the average rate for the year ended 30 September 2024: 107.13 (2024: 104.06).
	f)			Revenue recognition
				In accordance with IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers, the group recognises revenue to the extent that it reflects the expected consideration for goods or services provided to the customer under contract, over the performance obligations they are being provided. For each separable performance obligation identified, the Group determines whether it is satisfied at a "point in time" or "over time" based upon an evaluation of the receipt and consumption of benefits, control of assets and enforceable payment rights associated with that obligation. If the criteria required for "over time" recognition are not met, the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied at a "point in time". Revenue principally arises as a result of the Group's activities in electricity generation and distribution. Supply of power and billing satisfies performance obligations. The supply of power is invoiced in arrears on a monthly basis and generally the payment terms within the Group are 10 to 75 days.
				Revenue
				Revenue from providing electricity to captive power shareholders and sales to other customers is recognised on the basis of billing cycle under the contractual arrangement with the captive power shareholders & customers respectively and reflects the value of units of power supplied and the applicable tariff after deductions or discounts. Revenue is earned at a point in time of joint meter reading by both buyer and seller for each billing month. For LTOA and STOA, revenue is earned at a point in time of joint meter reading by both buyer and seller for each billing month. For IEX, revenue is earned on daily basis of supply based on the bid and allotted quantum which gets reconciled at a point in time of meter reading for each billing month.
				Interest and dividend
				Revenue from interest is recognised as interest accrued (using the effective interest rate method). Revenue from dividends is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established.
	g)		Operating expenses
			Operating expenses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or as incurred.
	h)		Taxes
			Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
			Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, taxation authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements.
			Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
			Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.
			Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
			Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and the intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
	i)		Financial assets
			IFRS 9 Financial Instruments contains regulations on measurement categories for financial assets and financial liabilities. It also contains regulations on impairments, which are based on expected losses.
			Financial assets are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL) based on the business model and the characteristics of the cash flows. If a financial asset is held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and the cash flows of the financial asset represent exclusively interest and principal payments, then the financial asset is measured at amortized cost. A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) if it is used both to collect contractual cash flows and for sales purposes and the cash flows of the financial asset consist exclusively of interest and principal payments. Unrealized gains and losses from financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), net of related deferred taxes, are reported as a component of equity (other comprehensive income) until realized. Realized gains and losses are determined by analyzing each transaction individually. Debt instruments that do not exclusively serve to collect contractual cash flows or to both generate contractual cash flows and sales revenue, or whose cash flows do not exclusively consist of interest and principal payments are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL). For equity instruments that are held for trading purposes the group has uniformly exercised the option of recognizing changes in fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Refer to note 30 "Summary of financial assets and liabilities by category and their fair values".
			Impairments of financial assets are both recognized for losses already incurred and for expected future credit defaults. The amount of the impairment loss calculated in the determination of expected credit losses is recognized on the income statement. Impairment provisions for current and non-current trade receivables are recognised based on the simplified approach within IFRS 9 using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit losses. During this process the probability of the non-payment of the trade receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.
	j)		Financial liabilities
			The Group's financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within 'finance costs' or 'finance income'.
	k)		Fair value of financial instruments
			The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices at the close of business on the Statement of financial position date. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
	l)		Property, plant and equipment
			Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to property plant & equipment such as employee cost, borrowing costs for long-term construction projects etc., if recognition criteria are met.  Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its costs are recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
			Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on all other assets is computed on straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset based on management's estimate as follows:
			Nature of asset				Useful life (years)
			Buildings				40
			Power stations				40
			Other plant and equipment				3-10
			Vehicles				5-11
			Assets in the course of construction are stated at cost and not depreciated until commissioned.
			An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
			The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of the assets are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate.
	m)		Intangible assets
			Acquired software
			Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software.
			Subsequent measurement
			All intangible assets, including software are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The useful life of software is estimated as 4 years.
	n)		Leases
			All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for: • Leases of low value assets; and • Leases with a duration of 12 months or less. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the group's incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate. On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes: • amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee; • the exercise price of any purchase option granted in favour of the group if it is reasonable certain to assess that option; • any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated in the basis of termination option being exercised. Right of use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for: • lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease; • initial direct costs incurred; and • the amount of any provision recognised where the group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset (typically leasehold dilapidations)
			Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if, rarely, this is judged to be shorter than the lease term. When the group revises its estimate of the term of any lease (because, for example, it re-assesses the probability of a lessee extension or termination option being exercised), it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted using a revised discount rate. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised, except the discount rate remains unchanged. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted to zero, any further reduction is recognised in profit or loss.
	o)		Borrowing costs
			Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowing pending its expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the costs of these assets.
			Gains and losses on extinguishment of liability, including those arising from substantial modification from terms of loans are not treated as borrowing costs and are charged to profit or loss.
			All other borrowing costs including transaction costs are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, the amount being determined using the effective interest rate method.
	p)		Impairment of non-financial assets
			The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.
			For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
	q)		Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
			Non-current assets and any corresponding liabilities held for sale and any directly attributable liabilities are recognized separately from other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet in the line items "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities associated with assets held for sale" if they can be disposed of in their current condition and if there is sufficient probability of their disposal actually taking place. Discontinued operations are components of an entity that are either held for sale or have already been sold and can be clearly distinguished from other corporate operations, both operationally and for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, the component classified as a discontinued operation must represent a major business line or a specific geographic business segment of the Group. Non-current assets that are held for sale either individually or collectively as part of a disposal group, or that belong to a discontinued operation, are no longer depreciated. They are instead accounted for at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less any remaining costs to sell. If this value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The income and losses resulting from the measurement of components held for sale as well as the gains and losses arising from the disposal of discontinued operations, are reported separately on the face of the income statement under income/loss from discontinued operations, net, as is the income from the ordinary operating activities of these divisions. Prior-year income statement figures are adjusted accordingly.  However, there is no reclassification of prior-year balance sheet line items attributable to discontinued operations. In case of reclassification, previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the investment's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the investment does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, had no impairment loss been recognised for the investments in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss. Once the Company ceases to classify a component as assets held for sale, the results of that component previously presented in discontinued operations will be reclassified and included in income from continuing operation for the period presented.
	r)		Cash and cash equivalents
			Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of financial position includes cash in hand and at bank and short-term deposits with original maturity period of 3 months or less.
			For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and at bank and short-term deposits. Restricted cash represents deposits which are subject to a fixed charge and held as security for specific borrowings and are not included in cash and cash equivalents.
	s)		Inventories
			Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted based on weighted average price. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated selling expenses.
	t)		Earnings per share
			The earnings considered in ascertaining the Group's earnings per share (EPS) comprise the net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent. The number of shares used for computing the basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity share.
	u)		Other provisions and contingent liabilities
			Provisions are recognised when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events. Restructuring provisions are recognised only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan's main features to those affected by it. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
			Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
			Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
			In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognised, unless it was assumed in the course of a business combination. In a business combination, contingent liabilities are recognised on the acquisition date when there is a present obligation that arises from past events and the fair value can be measured reliably, even if the outflow of economic resources is not probable. They are subsequently measured at the higher amount of a comparable provision as described above and the amount recognised on the acquisition date, less any amortisation.
	v)		Share based payments
			The Group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees.
			All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment are measured at their fair values. Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair values of employees' services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions).
			All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to 'Other Reserves'.
			If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.
			Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded as share premium.
	w)		Employee benefits
			Gratuity
			In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("the Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment.
			Liabilities with regard to the gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each Statement of financial position date using the projected unit credit method.
			The Group recognises the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its statement of financial position as an asset or liability, respectively in accordance with IAS 19, Employee benefits. The discount rate is based on the Government securities yield. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
			Employees Benefit Trust
			The Group has established an Employees Benefit Trust (hereinafter 'the EBT') for investments in the Company's shares for employee benefit schemes. IOMA Fiduciary in the Isle of Man have been appointed as Trustees of the EBT with full discretion invested in the Trustee, independent of the company, in the matter of share purchases. As at present, no investments have been made by the Trustee nor any funds advanced by the Company to the EBT. The Company is yet to formulate any employee benefit schemes or to make awards thereunder.
	x)		Business combinations
			Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established using pooling of interest method. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group controlling shareholder's consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same components within Group equity. Any excess consideration paid is directly recognised in equity.
	y)		Segment reporting
			The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8 - Operating segments. Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Directors being the chief operating decision maker evaluate the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators at operating segment level. During FY24 there is only one operating segment thermal power. There are no geographical segments as all revenues arise from India. All the non current assets are located in India.
	6		Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
			The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
			The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group in the consolidated financial statements are as set out above. The application of a number of these policies requires the Group to use a variety of estimation techniques and apply judgment to best reflect the substance of underlying transactions.
			The Group has determined that a number of its accounting policies can be considered significant, in terms of the management judgment that has been required to determine the various assumptions underpinning their application in the consolidated financial statements presented which, under different conditions, could lead to material differences in these statements. The actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the management and will seldom equal the estimated results.
	a)		Judgements
			The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
			Recoverability of deferred tax assets
			The recognition of deferred tax assets requires assessment of future taxable profit (see note 5(h)). Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future taxable income.
	b)		Estimates and uncertainties:
			The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the Statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing  material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
			Estimation of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities: While preparing the financial statements the Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of financial assets and financial liabilities.
			Trade Receivables
			The group ascertains the expected credit losses (ECL) for all receivables and adequate impairment provision are made. At the end of each reporting period a review of the allowance for impairment of trade receivables is performed. Trade receivables do not contain a significant financing element, and therefore expected credit losses are measured using the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised on initial recognition. A provision matrix is utilised to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses based on the age, status and risk of each class of receivable, which is periodically updated to include changes to both forward-looking and historical inputs.
			Financial assets measured at FVPL
			Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial assets measured at FVPL where active market quotes are not available. This requires management to develop estimates and assumptions based on market inputs, using observable data that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Where such data is not observable, management uses its best estimate. Estimated fair values of the asset may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date.
			Impairment tests: In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating units based on expected future cash flows and use an interest rate for discounting them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results including fuel prices, foreign currency exchange rates etc. and the determination of a suitable discount rate. The management considers impairment upon there being evidence that there might be an impairment, such as a lower market capitalization of the group or a downturn in results.
			Useful life of depreciable assets: Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets.

	8		Segment Reporting The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8 - Operating segments. Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Directors being the chief operating decision maker evaluate the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators at operating segment level. During FY24 there is only one operating segment thermal power. There are no geographical segments as all revenues arise from India. All the non current assets are located in India. Revenue on account of sale of power to customer exceeding 10% of total sales revenue amounts to £12,018,995 from TANGEDCO & £8,887,932 from IEX & £19,731,348  and £45,934,882 from STOA sales to Andhra Pradesh Discom and Haryana Dsicom respectively (2024: £157,896,815.90).

		The Company is subject to Isle of Man corporate tax at the standard rate of zero percent. As such, the Company's tax liability is zero. Additionally, Isle of Man does not levy tax on capital gains. However, considering that the group's operations are primarily based in India, the effective tax rate of the Group has been computed based on the current tax rates prevailing in India.  Further, a portion of the profits of the Group's India operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits attributable to generation of power in India. Under the tax holiday the taxpayer can utilize an exemption from income taxes for a period of any ten consecutive years out of a total of fifteen consecutive years from the date of commencement of the operations. However, the entities in India are still liable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) which is calculated on the book profits of the respective entities currently at a rate of 17.47% (31 March 2024: 17.47%). The Group has carried forward credit in respect of MAT tax liability paid to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such tax credit can be utilized.
	Deferred income tax for the Group at 30September 2024, 31 March 2024 relates to the following:

	Deferred income tax (liabilities) / assets, net		(19,188,361)	(2,810,234)	1,340,721			(20,657,873)
	In assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. Shareholders resident outside the Isle of Man will not suffer any income tax in the Isle of Man on any income distributions to them. However, dividends are taxable in India in the hands of the recipient. There is no unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities. As at 30 September 2024 and 31 March 2024, there was no recognised deferred tax liability for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Group's subsidiaries, as the Group has determined that undistributed profits of its subsidiaries will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

	23	Share based payments
		Long term incentive plan
		The number of performance-related awards is 14 m ordinary shares (the "LTIP Shares") (representing approximately 3.6 per cent of the Company's issued share capital). The grant date is 24 April 2019. The LTIP Shares were awarded to certain members of the senior management team as Nominal Cost Shares and will vest in three tranches subject to continued service with Group until vesting and meeting the following share price performance targets, plant load factor ("PLF") and term loan repayments of the Chennai thermal plant. -     20% of the LTIP Shares shall vest upon meeting the target share price of 25.16p before the first anniversary for the first tranche, i.e. 24 April 2020, achievement of PLF during the period April 2019 to March 2020 of at least 70% at the Chennai thermal plant and repayment of all scheduled term loans. -     40% of the LTIP Shares shall vest upon meeting the target share price of 30.07p before the second anniversary for the second tranche, i.e. 24 April 2021, achievement of PLF during the period April 2020 to March 2021 of at least 70% at the Chennai thermal plant and repayment of all scheduled term loans. -     40% of the LTIP Shares shall vest upon meeting the target share price of 35.00p before the third anniversary for the third tranche, i.e. 24 April 2022, achievement of PLF of at least 70% at the Chennai thermal plant during the period April 2021 to March 2022 and repayment of all scheduled term loans. The nominal cost of performance share, i.e. upon the exercise of awards, individuals will be required to pay up 0.0147p per share to exercise their awards. The share price performance metric will be deemed achieved if the average share price over a fifteen day period exceeds the applicable target price. In the event that the share price or other performance targets do not meet the applicable target, the number of vesting shares would be reduced pro-rata, for that particular year. However, no LTIP Shares will vest if actual performance is less than 80 per cent of any of the performance targets in any particular year.  The terms of the LTIP provide that the Company may elect to pay a cash award of an equivalent value of the vesting LTIP Shares. None of the LTIP Shares, once vested, can be sold until the third anniversary of the award, unless required to meet personal taxation obligations in relation to the LTIP award. No changes/revisions were made to LTIP during the reporting period and no shares were issued during the reporting period. The Carry forward shares under LTIP reserves will be issued in the year 24-25. The shares have not been issued because that was the time of COVID lock downs and related disruptions including Administrative and Logistics issues, thus delaying the process of allocation of shares to the Executives over the three year period from 2020.

The company has issued LTIP over ordinary shares which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The weighted average number of shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share can be reconciled to the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share (for the group and the company) as follows:
