STATE OF COMPANY'S AFFAIRS Operations- The year in a review

The financial year 2022-23 endured a period of upheaval as geopolitical uncertainties dictated the investment sentiment and global trade. As businesses normalized and economies recovered from the pandemic, the consumer demand and private sector expenditure ruled the growth trajectory of few economies including India. However, the high inflation and Banking crisis in the US remain major concerns for many developed and developing economies. The IMF and World Bank, though optimistic about India, are pessimistic about major economies including US, China, Europe, Japan, and emerging economies in Asia and Africa.

India was the bright spot among all countries outperforming the global growth demonstrating remarkable resilience and robustness. As the domestic consumption and infrastructure spending grew, the power sector too reaped benefits of strong growth in consumption and supply. India's coal imports increased by 30 per cent to 162.46 million tonnes in the 2022-23 financial year against 124.99 MT in the year-ago period, according to a report1. Domestic production, too recorded strong growth at 14.65% touching output at 892.21 million tonnes against 778.21 million tonnes last year.

Thermal power stations across the country have witnessed favourable conditions this year, benefiting from increased coal production, unseasonal rains in April and May, and enhanced coordination among key ministries. As a result, there has been a substantial improvement in the supply of coal compared to the supply crunch experienced last year. In terms of coal stock, the situation is comfortable, with only 31 out of the 165 domestic coal-based thermal power plants having critical coal stocks as of May 2023. This number marks a significant

decrease from the approximately 96 plants facing critical stocks during the same period last year. Currently, thermal power plants have approximately 33 million tonnes (MT) of coal stocked, ensuring a steady and reliable fuel supply.

Despite a generally favourable domestic market environment, the main markets that your company participates in have been a mixed bag. While the core services market size has grown, the FGD market has not seen the target customers of your company close deals as we had anticipated, primarily due to the government's decision to extend the deadline for thermal plants to install FGD systems by an additional two years. Hydro has seen some improvement in pumped storage, with the new budget having a good outlay for pumped hydro storage.

In the above market situation, your company has been progressing well on its strategy to grow Services, with double-digit growth in Q3 and Q4. In line with the FGD market environment, order intake in this segment has been lower than expected. The company has booked one order in the pumped hydro storage, 1280 MW Saundatti project, a major PSP that will be executed by your Company in India with three units of 320MW each and two units of 160 MW each.

Your Company has undertaken restructuring to adjust capacity to market conditions, and is now managing the balance of retaining competences, both to execute the backlog and to address upcoming opportunities. We faced considerable challenges in execution, though, including the NTPC Solapur fire incident, some of which are still ongoing. As a result of these execution challenges, as well as the slower than expected FGD order intake, your Company will take longer than anticipated to turn around and hence your Company has written off deferred tax assets.

WAY FORWARD

As India accelerates on its upward growth trajectory, the power sector will play a crucial role, balancing the country's electricity needs with sustainability goals. The government's commitment to increasing domestic production and reducing fuel import dependence is expected to enhance the sector's cost structure and ensure a reliable power supply to meet the growing demand. Simultaneously,

the focus on renewable power generation will contribute to building a lower carbon energy infrastructure, although integrating renewable sources into the existing grid remains a significant challenge.

As India is advancing on its energy transition journey, coal will continue to play a significant role for the foreseeable future, albeit, as more renewable energy sources are being added to the grid, this role may change, and with that the operating models of coal power producers, which will require different services needs. GE Power India Limited is uniquely positioned as a partner to our customers through the energy transition. Your Company's deep industry experience as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as well as its dedicated and highly skilled team in engineering and project execution are enabling GEPIL to respond to customers' needs with the necessary speed and flexibility.

Turnaround for the Company has taken longer than expected due to sluggishness in FGD, upgrades and various other challenges being faced by the Company. To mitigate the same, your Company's strategy is to grow the service business, develop industrial/private segment, focus on Non EPC projects more than EPC projects to derisk the portfolio and target on cash accretive and margin accretive projects.
