NATIONAL PROGRAMME The Hon’ble Prime Minister launched National programme on 5th January, 2015 to convert the conventional street lights with smart and energy efficient LED street lights and Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP) to provide LED lights to domestic households. Lighting sector accounts for about 20% of the total consumption in India. These programme target energy efficiency in lighting as it offers enormous opportunity to save energy. Under DELP, EESL has evolved a service model where it works with electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs). The Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme (DELP) obviates the need for DISCOMs to invest in the upfront cost of LED bulbs. Under Street Lighting programme, EESL replaces the conventional street lights with LEDs at its own costs and the consequent reduction in energy and maintenance cost of the municipalities is used to repay EESL over a period of time. 3. OTHER INITIATIVES OF EESL 3.1 Agriculture Demand Side Management (AgDSM) In order to upscale the implementation of AgDSM scheme, your Company had devised distribution model similar to UJALA scheme wherein the farmers shall be handed over Energy Efficient Pump Sets (EEPS) over the counters. This shall help in upscaling the present replacement methodology of 2000-3000 pump sets per year with 2-3 lac pump sets per year. Innovative concept of Smart Control Panels have been adopted wherein farmers could switch ON / OFF their pump sets using a mobile phone and the power consumption data shall be transmitted to EESL Dashboard for monitoring purposes. Your Company has come into an agreement(s) with the DISCOMs of Andhra Pradesh for distribution of 2 lac EEPS on similar lines and shall commence distribution in the next Financial Year. 3.2 Buildings Energy Efficiency Retrofit program (BEERP) High rise government and commercial establishments are one of the major load centres in the country. Various studies have established that energy consumption to the tune of 15 to 20% in these segments out of which 70 to 80% is contributed by electricity. Considering huge infrastructure growth and peak demand problem in India, DSM is recognized as one of the major solutions in building sector. This would save considerable amount in the energy bill as well as contribute in flattening of load curve of any utility. Recognizing the above need, EESL has focused on “Building Sector” as one of the major interventions to create market transformation in energy efficiency. Over last couple of years, EESL has successfully demonstrated its business models in government and private establishments. We encourage the facility owners to adopt our ESCO model where the entire upfront investment is done by EESL with a mutually agreeable cost recovery mechanism from energy savings. It is our great privilege to say that many of the high rise buildings have the growing awareness to implement energy efficiency projects in this model. The overall objective of the program is to reduce the energy consumption in the existing buildings in India and to disseminate best practices in improved O & M activities. EESL projects revealed a savings potential to the extent of 40% in end use such as lighting and air conditioning. EESL is also going to sign an agreement for implementation of energy efficiency measures in public buildings of state government and also approached by states like Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi for similar initiatives. EESL also signed an agreement with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for implementing Energy Efficiency measures at metro stations namely Rajiv Chowk and Barakhamba road. Riding on the success of EESL’s model, it has received an expression of interest from DMRC for further implementing energy efficiency measures in another four stations namely, Kashmiri Gate, Chandani Chowk, Chawri Bazaar and Patel Chowk which will be taken up in the next financial year.

The operative part of the agreement requires EESL to undertake: a) Consultancy work to identify locations for installation b) Procurement and installation of equipments as required under the CSR project. c) Maintain those projects for a specified period. The infrastructure created under CSR project is the property of client PSU for which EESL is paid consultancy charges for services rendered to the PSU. All payments for creation of infrastructure, based on competitive bidding process of EESL is reimbursed on actuals by client PSU.

This is stated to have been done by them vide their Audit Report dated 16 September 2016. I, on behalf of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, have conducted a supplementary audit under Section 143(6) (a) of the Act of the financial statements of Energy Efficiency Services Limited for the year ended 31 March 2016. This supplementary audit has been carried out independently without access to the working papers of the statutory auditors and is limited primarily to inquiries of the statutory auditors and company personnel and a selective examination of some of the accounting records. On the basis of my audit nothing significant has come to my knowledge which would give rise to any comment upon or supplement to statutory auditors’ report. For and on behalf of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India (Ritika Bhatia) Date: 11 Nov. 2016 Principal Director of Commercial Audit & Place: New Delhi Ex-officio Member, Audit Board — III, New Delhi www.eesl.co.in / 41 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT ANNEXURE V Industry structure and development In 2010, the ‘National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency’ (NMEEE), a policy by govt. of India, has indicated ` 74,000 crores of investment potential for energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C) out of which ` 30,000 crores of potential exists in energy intensive industries and remaining ` 44,000 crores in the other key demand side economic sectors. Till date, less than 10% of the overall market has been tapped through ESCO mode mainly in the areas of lighting and some industrial applications. Large scale deployments have been constrained by a number of important regulatory, institutional and financing barriers. EESL has been set-up to develop a viable ESCO industry in India. In the last one year, EESL has been able to deploy large scale programs in domestic and street lighting sectors. Demand aggregation strategies adopted by EESL have played a key role in cost reduction of these capital intensive technologies. The costs of domestic LEDs have been reduced by more than 75%. This cost reductions have further showcased the viability of the ESCO market in India. EESL has also showcased new and innovative ESCO models including Standard Offer Program, On – bill financing and Vendor Financing. The emergence and success of these models have further energized the ESCO industry in India. Outlook The ESCO industry in India is headed in the right direction. The cost reduction attributed to aggregation strategies adopted by EESL and the success of its business model has created a positive outlook for EESL in the coming years. Riding on the success and investments of the last year, EESL envisions installation of around 77 crore domestic LEDs through its DELP program and 3.5 crore energy efficient street lights through its street lighting program. This would form the backbone of the projects for EESL. This year EESL would try to adopt the best practices from these programs to other technologies including energy efficient fans, air conditioners etc. Similarly, it would strengthen their programs for agricultural demand side management and buildings. EESL in future is also planning to work with multi and bilateral agencies in promotion of other energy efficient technologies including trigeneration, industrial chillers and smart grids. EESL’s Strengths EESL has developed in house expertise in execution of energy efficiency and demand side management projects. The team has immense knowledge of the key innovation in energy efficient technologies. In the last few years, EESL has developed excellent relationship with their core customer base – distribution utilities and municipal utilities. This would aid EESL’s future planned projects including DELP program for tube lights and energy efficient fan program. EESL currently has access to cheaper financing options from multi and bilateral agencies. This plays an important role in delivering value and better returns to our customers. EESL is one the very few organizations which has successfully executed large scale energy efficiency projects in the country. EESL’s Weaknesses EESL is projected to grow at a break neck pace in the coming future. Availability of sufficient resources is a key challenge for EESL. The current equity base is small to fuel EESL growth in future. Considering the growth of EESL, availability of experienced human resources is also a significant weakness for EESL. Presently, the project portfolio of EESL is hugely concentrated in the lighting sector. There is a need to diversify to other technology categories Opportunities EESL has excellent working relationship with distribution utilities. They also have a keen understanding of regulations and policies related to energy efficiency and demand side management. Their success in large scale deployment of energy efficient lighting technology makes them a prime candidate to develop and implementation project for other energy consuming technologies particularly fans and air conditioners. EESL can also work with funding agencies to develop viable business models for large scale deployment of other innovative EE technologies including smart grids, tri-generation, industrial chillers among other. Their success in India also paves way for EESL to look at other emerging markets in South Asia particularly Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal. ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 www.eesl.co.in / 42 Threats, Risks and Concerns EESL has showcased the success of Standard Offer Program and On-bill financing in implementation of energy efficient lighting programs. This has led to eagerness of utilities to execute of these programs independent of EESL. Further, the cost of debt for EESL should also be maintained at a sustainable level to ensure better returns for both EESL and their consumers. The rapid deployment of these technologies can result in shortage in markets as the manufacturing capacity of the suppliers may not match EESL’s requirement. This can also result in distribution of cheaper imports and low quality products in the market. Internal Control System and their Adequacy The Company maintains an adequate system of Internal Control including suitable monitoring procedures which ensures accurate and timely financial reporting of various transactions, efficiency of operations and compliance with statutory laws, regulations and Company policies. Suitable delegations of power and guidelines for accounting have been issued for uniform compliance. In order to ensure that adequate checks and balances are in place and internal control systems are in order, regular and exhaustive Internal Audit are conducted internally by experienced firms of Chartered Accountants. Further to complement the internal controls, EESL plans to implement an ERP system in FY 17. Material Developments in Human Resources/Industrial Relations In order to meet the fast augmenting project requirements i.e. effective implementation, maintenance, quality assurance and timely execution 136 employees were appointed in various cadres through open advertisement during the financial year 2015-16. The Total manpower of the Company as on 31st March, 2016 stands at 164, which includes 134 executives and 30 non executives.

Environmental Protection and Conservation The projects executed by EESL this financial year are expected to save around 200 million kWh of energy and 140,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The total estimated annual savings as a resultant from the planned energy efficiency projects are around 7.9 billion kWh. The numbers may increase as more projects are planned in future. EESL has also takes proper care in destroying the old lighting inventory replaced during the projects to prevent mercury and lead contamination. This inventory is destroyed as per the guidelines set by the electricity regulatory commission and local pollution control committee. Segment-Wise or Product-Wise Performance In this financial year, EESL has executed UJALA projects across five States i.e. Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013. AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting. MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit reparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and www.eesl.co.in / 49 (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition; use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. OPINION In our opinion, except for the effects under the paragraphs “Basis of Qualified Opinion” and “Emphasis of Matters” of Independent Audit Report described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

However, despite the fact that the potential for application of performance contracting in both the public and private sectors in developing nations is enormous, the growth of the ESCO industry has been particularly slow in the country. In order to develop a viable ESCO industry, Ministry of Power has set up Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a Joint Venture of NTPC Limited, PFC, REC and POWERGRID to facilitate implementation of energy efficiency projects. EESL will work as ESCO, as Consultancy Organization for CDM, Energy Efficiency, etc.; as a Resource Centre for capacity building of SDAs, Utilities, financial institutions, etc. EESL will also lead the market-related actions of the NMEEE. i.
