The Government of India (“GoI”) vide its notification dated 30 June 2022 levied Special Additional Excise Duty (‘SAED’) on production of crude oil, i.e., cess on windfall gain triggered by increase in crude oil prices which is effective from 01 July 2022. The consequential net impact of the said duty on the quarterly results has been presented as an exceptional item.

The Company operates an oil and gas production facility in Rajasthan under a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”). The GoI accorded its approval for extension of the PSC for the RJ Block for a period of 10 years till 14 May 2030, under the Pre-NELP Extension policy as per notification dated 07 April 2017 (“Pre-NELP Policy”), vide its letter dated 26 October 2018, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions.

The management believes that the Company is eligible for extension of the PSC on same terms and challenged the applicability of above-mentioned policy. The Company’s petition was allowed by Single Bench, however was overturned by Division Bench in appeal filed by GoI. The Company has filed an appeal against the order of Division Bench before the Supreme court. However, the Company has been paying additional 10% profit petroleum to the Government as per the conditions of extension.

One of the conditions for extension relates to notification of certain audit exceptions raised for FY 2016-17 as per PSC provisions and provides for payment of amounts, if such audit exceptions result into any creation of liability.

Director General of Hydrocarbons (“DGH”) has further updated its demand on account of audit exceptions vide letter dated 06 September 2022 for period up to 14 May 2020 for total amount of ₹ 9,474 Crore (US$ 1,162 million) and applicable interest thereon relating to the share of the Company and one of its subsidiaries.

The Company has disputed the aforesaid demand and the other audit exceptions, notified till date, as in the Company’s view the audit notings are not in accordance with the PSC and are entirely unsustainable. Further, as per PSC provisions, disputed notings do not prevail and accordingly do not result in creation of any liability. The Company believes it has reasonable grounds to defend itself which are supported by independent legal opinions. In accordance with PSC terms, the Company had commenced arbitration proceedings. The final hearing and arguments were concluded in September 2022. Post hearing briefs would be filed by the parties on 11 November 2022.

For reasons aforesaid, the Company is not expecting any material liability to devolve on account of these matters.

Pursuant to GOI’s approval for extension vide letter dated 26 October 2018, the parties have now executed the addendum for PSC extension for 10 years from 15 May 2020 to 14 May 2030 on 27 October 2022.



5		The Company has a copper smelter plant in Tuticorin. The Company’s application for renewal of Consent to Operate (“CTO”) for the plant was rejected by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (“TNPCB”) in April 2018. Subsequently, the Government of Tamil Nadu issued directions to close and seal the existing copper smelter plant permanently. The Principal Bench of National Green Tribunal (“NGT”) ruled in favour of the Company but its order was set aside by the Supreme Court vide its judgment dated 18 February 2019, on the sole basis of maintainability. The Company had filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court challenging various orders passed against the Company. On 18 August 2020, the Madras High Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by the Company, which has been challenged by the Company in the Supreme Court while also seeking interim relief to access the plant for care and maintenance. The hearing on care and maintenance could not be listed at the Supreme Court. Instead, the matter is now being heard on merits.

		The Company was also in the process of expanding its capacities at an adjacent site (“Expansion Project”). The High Court of Madras, in a Public Interest Litigation, held that the application for renewal of the Environmental Clearance (“EC”) for the Expansion Project shall be processed after a mandatory public hearing and in the interim, ordered the Company to cease construction and all other activities on the site with immediate effect. In the meanwhile, State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (“SIPCOT”) cancelled the land allotted for the Expansion Project, which was later stayed by the Madras High Court. Further, TNPCB issued an order directing the withdrawal of the Consent to Establish (“CTE”) which was valid till 31 March 2023. The Company has also appealed this action before the TNPCB Appellate Authority and the matter is pending for adjudication and the matter is now being heard on merits. As per the Company’s assessment, it is in compliance with the applicable regulations and hence there is no impact on the carrying value of the assets.

6		On 21 July 2022, the Company acquired Athena Chhattisgarh Power Limited (“ACPL”) under the liquidation proceedings of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for a consideration of ₹ 565 Crore. ACPL is building a 1,200 MW (600 MW X 2) coal-based power plant located at Jhanjgir Champa district, Chhattisgarh. The plant is expected to fulfill the power requirements for the Company’s aluminium business. On consolidation, the consideration paid for acquisition of ACPL represents mainly Capital work in progress.

7		The Company had filed a Scheme of Arrangement (“Scheme”) for its capital reorganization, whereby the balance of the General Reserves of ₹ 12,587 Crore as at 31 March 2022 is proposed to be transferred to Retained Earnings. Pursuant to the Order of Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, a meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held on 11 October 2022, where the matter was approved with requisite majority. The Scheme is subject to completion of further compliances as may be required under Section 230 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

8		Previous period/ year figures have been re-grouped/ rearranged, wherever necessary.

4		The Company has a copper smelter plant in Tuticorin. The Company’s application for renewal of Consent to Operate (“CTO”) for the plant was rejected by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (“TNPCB”) in April 2018. Subsequently, the Government of Tamil Nadu issued directions to close and seal the existing copper smelter plant permanently. The Principal Bench of National Green Tribunal (“NGT”) ruled in favour of the Company but its order was set aside by the Supreme Court vide its judgment dated 18 February 2019, on the sole basis of maintainability. The Company had filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court challenging various orders passed against the Company. On 18 August 2020, the Madras High Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by the Company, which has been challenged by the Company in the Supreme Court while also seeking interim relief to access the plant for care and maintenance. The hearing on care and maintenance could not be listed at the Supreme Court. Instead, the matter is now being heard on merits.

		The Company was also in the process of expanding its capacities at an adjacent site (“Expansion Project”). The High Court of Madras, in a Public Interest Litigation, held that the application for renewal of the Environmental Clearance (“EC”) for the Expansion Project shall be processed after a mandatory public hearing and in the interim, ordered the Company to cease construction and all other activities on the site with immediate effect. In the meanwhile, State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (“SIPCOT”) cancelled the land allotted for the Expansion Project, which was later stayed by the Madras High Court. Further, TNPCB issued an order directing the withdrawal of the Consent to Establish (“CTE”) which was valid till 31 March 2023. The Company has also appealed this action before the TNPCB Appellate Authority and the matter is pending for adjudication and the matter is now being heard on merits. As per the Company’s assessment, it is in compliance with the applicable regulations and hence there is no impact on the carrying value of the assets.

5		The Company operates an oil and gas production facility in Rajasthan under a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”). The GoI accorded its approval for extension of the PSC for the RJ Block for a period of 10 years till 14 May 2030, under the Pre-NELP Extension policy as per notification dated 07 April 2017 (“Pre-NELP Policy”), vide its letter dated 26 October 2018, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions.

		The management believes that the Company is eligible for extension of the PSC on same terms and challenged the applicability of above-mentioned policy. The Company’s petition was allowed by Single Bench, however was overturned by Division Bench in appeal filed by GoI. The Company has filed an appeal against the order of Division Bench before the Supreme court. However, the Company has been paying additional 10% profit petroleum to the Government as per the conditions of extension.

		One of the conditions for extension relates to notification of certain audit exceptions raised for FY 2016-17 as per PSC provisions and provides for payment of amounts, if such audit exceptions result into any creation of liability.

		Director General of Hydrocarbons (“DGH”) has further updated its demand on account of audit exceptions vide letter dated 06 September 2022 for period up to 14 May 2020 for total amount of ₹ 9,474 Crore (US$ 1,162 million) and applicable interest thereon relating to the share of the Company and one of its subsidiaries.

		The Company has disputed the aforesaid demand and the other audit exceptions, notified till date, as in the Company’s view the audit notings are not in accordance with the PSC and are entirely unsustainable. Further, as per PSC provisions, disputed notings do not prevail and accordingly do not result in creation of any liability. The Company believes it has reasonable grounds to defend itself which are supported by independent legal opinions. In accordance with PSC terms, the Company had commenced arbitration proceedings. The final hearing and arguments were concluded in September 2022. Post hearing briefs would be filed by the parties on 11 November 2022.

		For reasons aforesaid, the Company is not expecting any material liability to devolve on account of these matters.

		Pursuant to GOI’s approval for extension vide letter dated 26 October 2018, the parties have now executed the addendum for PSC extension for 10 years from 15 May 2020 to 14 May 2030 on 27 October 2022.

6		On 21 July 2022, the Company acquired Athena Chhattisgarh Power Limited (“ACPL”) under the liquidation proceedings of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for a consideration of ₹ 565 Crore, pending receipt of share certificate. ACPL is building a 1,200 MW (600 MW X 2) coal-based power plant located at Jhanjgir Champa district, Chhattisgarh.
