PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

The year under review was marked by the extensive impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic affected virtually every segment of Indias industry; the road building sector was not an exception. In the road building and tolling sector, there was a decline in labour availability as most preferred to return to their rural home towns; there was a decline in roads and highways traffic that affected toll collection. In a business where project deliveries are strictly mapped leading to capital management discipline, this mismatch disrupted cash flows.

On Standalone basis, revenue from operations and other income for the financial year under review were 39,170.49 Lakhs (Previous Year: 1,40,394.82 Lakhs) year registering a decrease of 1,01,224.33 Lakhs. During the year under review, the loss before tax was 12,823.00 Lakhs (Previous Year: 18,547.81 Lakhs) and the loss after tax was 22,209.20 Lakhs (Previous Year: 14,067.25 Lakhs).

On Consolidated basis, revenue from operations and other income for the financial year under review were 1,28,923.32 Lakhs (Previous Year: 2,19,612.67 Lakhs) registering a decrease of 90,689.35 Lakhs. The loss before tax was 3,433.79 Lakhs (Previous Year: 8,323.21 Lakhs) and the loss after tax was 6,066.42 Lakhs (Previous Year: 12,610.34 Lakhs).

OPERATIONS

V HYBRID ANNUITY MODE (HAM) PROJECTS

This Financial year has been the year of Covid19 Pandemic and this has had far reaching impact with huge loss of human life, disruption of business due to stringent measures adopted by the Government viz. strict lock down and travel restrictions which has not only affected the business houses but the Economy also had to take a major hit on the growth aspect.

It is needless to mention that the operations of your Company was also affected. Your Company after dwelling upon faced with two options: wait for the improvement to transpire and thereafter drive the business as usual or realign the business model with speed to remain relevant and viable. The company opted for the second; this responsiveness was driven by the conviction.

The result is that the Company completed Harmonious Substitution of the four hybrid annuity model (HAM) projects to a new concessionaire during the year under review; these projects were marked by factors largely outside the companys control and the management took a considered view that in view of the extensive uncertainty, a smaller project book would be safer. The company opted out from these projects with no Balance Sheet impairment that could possibly affect the companys competitiveness.

Your Company (as the Lead Member) with Long Jian Road and Bridge Company Limited (Longjian), a Chinese Company was awarded the following HAM Projects under the said Consortium:

Project	Authority	In the State of	Scope of the Project	SPV for the Project
Ausa Chakur	NHAI	Maharashtra	Four-lane of Ausa Chakur section of NH 361 (Km. 55.8 -114.3)	MEP Longjian ACR Private Limited
Chakur Loha	NHAI	Maharashtra	Four-lane of Chakur Loha section of NH 361 (Km. 114.6 - 187.8)	MEP Longjian CLR Private Limited
Loha Waranga	NHAI	Maharashtra	Four-lane of Loha Waranga section of NH 361 (Km. 187.8 - 224.4)	MEP Longjian Loha Waranga Road Private Limited
Vadape Thane	NHAI	Maharashtra	Eight-laning of existing Four-lane of NH-3 (new NH-848) (Km. 539.2 - 563)	MEP Longjian VTR Private Limited

Your Companys Consortium Member viz. Longjian anticipated policy hurdles to participate or continue in projects as investors and/or consortium partners and accordingly expressed their inability to infuse their share (49%) in the Equity Contribution in the four HAM SPVs. On our request, as per the terms of Contract Agreement (CA), NHAI, Yes Bank Limited (the Lender) and our SPVs have entered into an Endorsement Agreement for a Harmonious Substitution as under:

Project	Nominated Company
Ausa Chakur	Gangamai Kalyan ACR Private Limited, (a Joint Venture between Gangamai Industries & Construction Limited and Kalyan Toll Infrastructure Limited).
Chakur Loha	Chakur Loha Nanded Highways Private Limited, (SPV formed by M/s Kalyan Toll Infrastructure Limited).
Loha Waranga	Loha Nanded Waranga Highways Private Limited, (SPV formed by M/s Kalyan Toll Infrastructure Limited).
Vadape Thane	MSRDC Infrastructure Private Limited

Your Company had to overcome challenges for completion of HAM Projects, due to issues in land acquisition and various clearances such as Environmental, Railways and Forest Clearances. Apart from this, there were also challenges of shifting utilities, religious structures and encroachments. Owing to this and due to situation beyond the control of your Company. Your Companys SPVs viz. MEP Sanjose Talaja Mahuva Toll Road Private Limited and MEP Sanjose Mahuva Kagavadar Toll Road Private Limited have surrendered their Project(s) to National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) pursuant to Notice(s) by NHAI. The said Notice(s) were challenged by your Company vide an appeal before the division Bench of Honble High Court of Delhi. The Honble Court vide its Order dated 25^th May, 2021 has directed NHAI to consider the conciliation request of the Company in a fair manner in accordance with law. In line with the Court Order, NHAI have agreed to take up the matter with Conciliation Committee of Independent Expert-3 (CCIE-3) and your Company expects a speedy decision from the CCIE-3 in favour of your Company.
