RISK FACTORS
The hydro-power projects involve substantial river bed works (barrage and dams, etc.)
and underground works (tunnels, power houses, etc.) and therefore carry the risks
associated with floods in the river and adverse geological conditions. The law and order
problem may also cause concern depending on the location of the project. Typically,
the bids are made including the expected inflation factor. Thus, the risk of increase in
prices of inputs is, to an extent, mitigated. With over three decades of involvement in
execution of hydro-electric power projects works JAL has imbibed adequate experience
to deal with and manage these risks. Further, stoppage of works due to instructions of
employer or due to reasons beyond the control of the contractor would typically lead to
payment of stoppage charges to the contractor, which would be over and above the
contract prices. The contracts specify the quantum and nature of work to be carried out
by the contractor. Any increase in the scope of work beyond the specifications due to
factors such as geology, would be compensated by the contractors for an additional
consideration.
In view of the fact that JAL typically takes up large size construction contracts of sizes
over Rs. 500 crores which requires large scale mobilization of man power, machinery and
material, the timely receipt of payments from the client is critical. Generally, the contract
terms involve payment of advance for mobilization while the balance amount is linked to
the physical progress of the project. JAL restricts its interest to those projects, which have
the budgetary outlay / sources of finances tied up (i.e. financial closure achieved), thus,
minimizing the risk of delays in payment. The outstanding receivables of JAL (other than
Iraq project receivables) of JAL vis-à-vis its construction division turnover over the last 3
years have been as under:
(Rs. in crores)
YE 31st March 2002 2003 2004
Gross Revenue 1,599.72 1,766.26 1718.63

Debtors (months) 1.3 1.7 1.7
* excluding Iraq Projects dues.
In order to take an advantage of the opportunities arising in the infrastructure sector, JAL
has embarked on a multi-pronged growth strategy, which includes inter-alia:
Setting up hydro-electric power projects on Build-Own-Operate basis;
Increasing the manufacturing capacities of the cement units;
Entering the field of civil construction of railway tracks.
JAL has successfully demonstrated its expertise in the field of civil engineering and
construction of river valley and hydro-electric power projects. As an extension of the
v
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
same, it has taken up development of its own power projects having regard to existing
demand-supply and source-wise power generation imbalances in the country. JAL has
experienced manpower in this specialized field with requisite expertise in implementing
such projects. It has already successfully implemented the 3x100 MW Baspa-II hydro-
electric project in Himachal Pradesh in spite of various difficulties including a difficult
terrain and interruptions like the flash floods, at a competitive cost. It has already
achieved substantial progress in respect of implementation of its 400 MW Vishnuprayag
Hydro-electric project with the entire debt component tied up and commissioning
expected within the envisaged time frame. The success in implementation of these
projects is on account of JAL’s vast experience and in-house capabilities in the design
and engineering of hydel projects, commitment shown by JAL by way of bringing in its
envisaged equity contribution in a timely manner for the above projects and the
confidence placed in its abilities by the lending community.
The cement division is undergoing a capacity expansion, which will take its capacity to 7
million TPA. The expansion includes upgradation of the facilities at its existing units and
setting up of 1 million TPA grinding unit at Tanda in UP. The funds required for the program
have already been tied-up and the scheme expected to be completed by September
2004.
The program for the setting up two captive power units for the cement division has also
achieved substantial progress and fund requirements for the same have already been
tied-up. The 25 MW unit at Jaypee Puram started trial run from Nov. 2003 and fully
stabilised production from May 2004 and second 25 MW coal based captive thermal
plant is scheduled for commissioning in September 2004.
Subsidiary Investments
JAL’s investments include its holding Jaypee Hotels Ltd. (JHL) and Special Purpose
Vehicles (SPVs) formed for implementation and operation of 300 MW Baspa-II and 400
MW Vishnuprayag Hydro-electric projects.
JHL's operations have been profitable and Baspa-II Hydro-electric project has already
achieved successful commencement of commercial operations. The Vishnuprayag
Hydro-electric project is also in an advanced stage of implementation and is expected
to be commissioned within the envisaged time frame i.e. by December, 2006. Both the
projects are competitive in terms of capital cost per MW of installed capacity and firm
power purchase agreements with minimum guaranteed returns on equity are already in
place. In order to further enhance the competitiveness of tariff, JHPL has embarked on
debt swapping program to reduce the interest cost in respect of Baspa-II project by
taking advantage of present low interest scenario and substantially improved risk
perception of the project.
The gap between the demand and supply of power is expected to continue in the
northern region for many more years, which will ensure adequate off-take of power from
these units, thus providing steady returns to JAL in the form of dividends.
Litigation against the company and the group companies alongwith the management
perception to mitigate the same is given in Clause XII titled as "Outstanding Litigation or
Default" herein below.

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
The Indian Economy is expected to grow at over 6% p.a. in the medium term. The growth
is envisaged to be driven by investments in infrastructure, aimed at de-bottlenecking the
Over the years JAL’s construction division has emerged as a leader in the field of civil
engineering and construction of hydro-electric power / river valley projects in the
country. The other engineering companies involved in this sector in India are HCC Ltd.,
L& T (ECC), Continental Construction Ltd. and Gammon India Ltd. JAL enjoys CR1, the
highest contractor grading awarded by ICRA and is also placed favorably in terms of
profit margins owing to its entrenched position, focus on large size contracts (typically
with a size of over Rs. 500 crores), in-house design and engineering expertise, and the
track record of timely and successful execution of contracts. JAL also compares
favorably with other major construction firms in the country with a substantial order book
to turnover ratio. In view of the above, JAL expects to retain the major slice of the market
share even in respect of the hydro-power construction contracts to be awarded in
future.
With the existing demand-supply gap, both in terms of peak deficit as well as aggregate
energy deficit, significant capacity addition is planned in the generation sector. With a
need to correct the present hydel: thermal capacity ratio from 25:75 to 40:60 and long-
term economic attractiveness of hydel projects, JAL can be expected to bag more
construction contracts and keep its order book flowing.
Generally the civil works, electro-mechanical works and specialized works in respect of
the construction projects are covered by separate packages. However, in order to
minimize the delays resulting from interface problems between various agencies, the
construction contracts in many cases are now being awarded as a single consolidated
Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) package. This necessitates formation of
consortia of various parties specializing in execution of different components. In view of
the same, JAL, whenever deemed necessary submits its bid as a consortium partner
along with other national and international players like SNC / Acres INC., SNC Lavalin /
Acres Transnational, GE Canada, Voith Seimens Hydro Kraftwerkstechnik GmBH & Co.
KG. etc.
The cement division comprises of over 30% of the installed cement manufacturing
capacity in the Satna Cluster, which is its natural marketing zone. JAL expects a likely
shortfall in production of cement in the Satna cluster, which would favorably impact the
cement division prospects. The setting up of the captive power units for its cement plants
in addition to steps taken by it to reduce the power consumption of the units will further
vii
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
improve its competitiveness by lowering its power cost, which is one of the key
inputs. The increase in the cement manufacturing capacity to 7 MTPA by
debottlenecking would further improve the cement division's profitability.
The Government of India has taken initiative for development of huge power generation
capacity in ensuing 5 years plans with special emphasis on hydro power project
development in order to correct the Hydro Thermal Mix from 25:75 to 40:60. The segment
of hydro power E & C business become very eluring. This will lead to more and more
players coming into the business which will increase competition, changes in policies for
awarding all major EPC Contracts to ICB route would enhance, competition on global
level. Such increased competition may result into reduced margins.
JAL presently being well equipped including having MOU for consortium bidding would
enable it to take such competition and the rising competition should not make a dent on
JAL's profit and turnover.

JHPL, is a Special Purpose Company promoted by JAL for developing and operating
Baspa – II run-of-the river Hydro-electric Project (3x100 MW) on Build-Own-Operate basis.
JAL holds 72.50% of JHPL’s total equity of Rs. 491 crores. The project site is located on the
river Baspa, a tributary of river Sutlej in Kinnaur district (Himachal Pradesh) about 210 km
from Shimla. The Project is designed to generate 1,213.18 million units in a 90%
dependable year and 1,392.22 million units in a 50% dependable year. JAL has acted as
the EPC contractor for execution of civil works for the Project. The salient features of the
project are:
Largest Hydro electric Power Plant commissioned in the private sector in the country
Barrage at an elevation of 2,520.50 meters, the highest altitude as on date for any such
structure to come up in India.
56.70 Km long 400 kV transmission line comprising 121 towers passing through elevation
ranging from 1,500 to 2,800 m in one of the most difficult terrain, crossing the valley 13
times and River Satluj twice.
Electromechanical and Hydromechanical equipment weighing more than 20,000 tons
carted over 300 Km distance in a hilly terrain.
Eight bridges, spanning up to maximum of 132 m were constructed at various locations
to cater for a maximum load of 70R (Indian Road Congress classification for bridges to
carry wheeled load up to 100 tons)
Being a snow-fed Project, water availability is assessed, no resettlement / rehabilitation.
The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in respect of the energy generated by the Project
was executed between HPSEB and JHPL in June 1997. As per the PPA, HPSEB will
purchase the entire energy generation of the unit for a period of 40 years (extendable by
another 20 years). As per the Agreement, 12% of the energy generated by the unit will
be provided by JHPL to GoHP free of cost in lieu of water charges, while the balance 88%
of the energy generated by the unit will be sold to HPSEB at the tariff arrived at as per the
pass through tariff mechanism provided in the PPA, including provision for deemed
energy and incentives for secondary energy and higher plant availability. In the event of
the unit having achieved normative level of availability but the actual energy generation
falling short of the design energy for reasons attributable to hydrology, the energy
17
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
charges for generation up to design energy shall be payable by HPSEB during first seven
years of operation under the provision of deemed generation.
The Project has been successfully completed at a cost of Rs. 1,624.72 crores and all the
three units have commenced commercial operations with effect from June 11, 2003 and
are supplying power to Jhakri for evacuation by HPSEB. The payments in respect of the
saleable power evacuated by HPSEB are being received regularly. From the date of
commissioning till March 31, 2004, the average plant availability has been above 97% as
against the PPA required minimum level of 90%. For the period ended 31st march 2004,
the company made a net profit of Rs. 57.91 Crs. (cash profit of Rs.138.82 Crs). JHPL has
also embarked on a Debt Swapping Program so as to reduce its interest cost to further
enhance the competitiveness of its tariff.

L & T Ltd. (ECC) Active across almost all the construction segments with specialization
in infrastructure and industrial projects.
In the hydropower projects segment, besides JAL & HCC, L&T is the
only company having an average contract size of above Rs. 100
crores.
It has a CR1 grading with an upper cap of Rs. 600 crores for single
contract compared to Rs. 2,000 crores for JAL.
Presently executing sub-contract works for the Purulia Pumped
Storage Project, in W. Bengal, in Joint venture with HCC Ltd.
Recently bagged an order from National Hydroelectric Power
Corporation Limited (NHPC) for civil and structural work for its 2000
MW (8 x 250MW) Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project (Contract size:
Rs. 921.6 crore).
Generally for economic considerations the civil works, electro-mechanical works and
specialized works in respect of the construction projects are covered by separate
packages. However, in order to minimize the delays resulting from interface problems
between various agencies, the construction contracts in many cases are now being
awarded as a single consolidated Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC)
package. Also many firms having international size have also been attempting to enter
the construction segment. This necessitates formation of consortia of various parties
specializing in execution of different components. In view of the same, whenever
deemed necessary, JAL bids as a consortium partner along with other national and
international players. For instance, JAL, as the leader of consortium comprising of other
internationally reputed firms like SNC / Acres INC., SNC Lavalin / Acres Transnational and
GE Canada, bid for and was awarded the EPC contract for 300 MW Chamera (Stage-II)
Hydro-electric project. Similarly, JAL was awarded the EPC contract in respect of
Omkareshwar Hydro-electric Project in consortium with Voith Seimens Hydro
Kraftwerkstechnik GmBH & Co. KG.
setting up hydel capacity to meet the increasing energy requirements, plus the power
deficit; and
correcting the existing hydel: thermal mix capacity ratio of 25:75 in the country to the
desirable level of 40:60.
Despite hydroelectric projects being recognized as the most economic and preferred
source of electricity, the share of hydropower has declined in India in the past on
account of difficult investigations, geological aspects, R&R issues, inter-state aspects, etc.
38
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
At the time of Independence, the share of hydro in the total installed capacity was
around 37% which continued to rise, crossing 50% in the year 1963 and at present
constitutes only about 25% of the overall installed capacity in the country.
As per the studies carried out by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the economically
exploitable hydro-power potential in India as been assessed at 84,044 MW at 60% load
factor, which corresponds to an approximate installed capacity of 150,000 MW from 845
schemes. Of the same about 300 schemes involving an aggregate installed capacity of
about 43,000 MW are either in operation or under various stages of development. Based
on the Ranking Study carried out by CEA, feasibility studies have been taken up for 162
hydro-electric projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 50,560 MW.
Generation capacity additions have traditionally been made in the thermal sector
Additions in the hydropower sector were not consistent in the 1990’s, but have been
increasing in the past few years at approximately 1,000MW per year

Cement
The cement industry in India is highly fragmented, with over 50 cement players and more
than 120 manufacturing plants. The industry is also highly regionalised, as cement units
are concentrated in clusters, close to the limestone deposits. Competition is also
regionalised since the low-value commodity makes transportation over long
distances uncompetitive.
During 1997-98 to 2002-03, the installed capacity of the industry increased at a CAGR of
over 7 per cent to 138.96 mtpa. (The capacity of the industry is taken as the sum total
of the installed capacity of the large players.) The total capacity of mini cement
players (includes all capacities up to 300,000 tpa) has been estimated at 11.2 million
tonnes. In 2002-03, cement production from large units touched 110 million tonnes,
indicating a capacity utilisation of around 80 per cent.
Cement prices and margins vary across regions, due to the variation in demand-
supply balance, level of concentration and demand growth. Over the last five
years, prices in the North have remained lower than the rest of the country
because of the highly fragmented nature of the market. Prices in the South and
West have been on a downhill ride since 2001-02, due to the addition of capacity
in the regions. However, prices in the East have remained higher than the country
average due to supply rationalisation by producers.
India is the fourth largest producer of cement in the world after China, Japan and USA.

The cement industry has strong regional characteristics with long distance transportation
being an expensive proposition given the fact that cement is bulky commodity. The
demand-supply imbalances within each of the regions in the country determine the
price differentials.

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
While, regions of Southern and Western India are cement surplus, regions in Eastern and
Northern India are cement-deficit. This is due to the concentration of lime stone reserves
in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
The plants are located in clusters near limestone mines. The cluster-wise cement
capacities are tabulated hereunder:
45
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Region-wise cement demand & supply position for last 5 years is summarized hereunder:
The above table shows that the Northern region is having a deficit due to a
comparatively higher rate of growth in demand, particularly in states like Punjab,
Haryana and Delhi. The demand in this region is driven predominantly by rural demand
and realizations have been improving along with increase in construction demand.
Further, cement markets of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh may see a short
supply, as a result of which prices are expected to firm up in these markets. The resultant
healthy demand situation is expected to favorably impact companies such as JAL,
which are located in the Satna clusters.
The growth of cement production and consumption on All India basis during the period
1997-98 to 2001-02 has registered a compounded annual rate of growth (CARG) of 7.48%
and 7.53% respectively. As against the aforesaid All India compounded annual rate of
growth, cement consumption and market share of the Satna Cluster, in which JAL plants
are located, have witnessed an appreciable increase as under:
It may be observed that consumption in the aforesaid market has registered an average
annual growth of 11.5%. It is expected that the markets in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Nepal
will grow by 10 percent while Madhya Pradesh will grow by 5%. Accordingly, the supply
deficit in the cluster is projected to increase to 1.6 million TPA in 2003-04, 3.12 million TPA in
46
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
2004-05, 4.7 million TPA in 2005-06 and 6.45 million TPA in 2006-07. With the additional
capacity of JAL scheduled to be fully available from FY 2005 onwards, it will be ideally
placed to benefit from the improvement in market conditions.
JAL primarily caters to markets in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Nepal (these
markets respectively accounted for 48.8%, 8.5%, 22.8% and 5.9% of JAL’s total cement
sales during FY 03-04) and hence it can be expected that in comparison to other
manufacturers in the same region, JAL stands to gain significantly both in terms of market
share as well as profitability since its capacity increase by way of enhancement of
existing facilities as also reduction in power cost upon setting up the captive power units
will make it more competitive. Currently, it enjoys a market share of 18.3% in the State of
Uttar Pradesh and 14.2% in the State of Madhya Pradesh. In Bihar, the company has a
market share of approx. 12%.

JAL’s strategy to maintain and enhance its leading position within the Indian cement
sector:
Key Strategies
Facility Expansion
The cement division is undergoing a multi-pronged capacity expansion plan to 7.0 million
TPA, largely through upgrading of the facilities at its existing units
Thermal Energy consumption across Jaypee Cement is 690 Kcal per tonne
Power Consumption across Jaypee Cement is below 85 units per tonne of cement
produced
The setting up of two captive power units for the cement division has achieved
substantial progress and shall result in significant production synergies for Jaypee Cement
and result in an overall lower cost of production.
3rd Captive Power plant (Exp C.O.D in Oct’05) will bring the power cost across Jaypee
Cement below Rs 3 per unit 1 million TPA grinding unit at Tanda near Faizabad UP is
being commissioned at flyash pond of NTPC to source flyash at zero cost. Locational

Power Generation
The all India installed capacity of electric power generating stations under utilities was
112,058.42 MW as on 31.3.2004 consisting of 29,500.23 MW hydro based, 77,968.53 MW
thermal based and 2,720 MW nuclear and 1,869.66 MW wind based.
The 16th Electric Power Survey (EPS) carried out by the Central Electricity Authority has
projected a peak demand of 1,15,705 MW and an energy requirement of 7,19,097 MU by
the end of 10th Plan while the requirement by the end of 11th Plan has been projected as
9,75,222 MU and 1,57,107 MW respectively. Accordingly, during the 10th Plan period a
capacity addition of 55,158 MW is required. However it is likely that a capacity addition
of only 41,110 MW would be feasible during the period having regard to the financial
condition of the power utilities and the level of preparedness of projects. The effort is to
close the deficit by the end of the 11th Plan to ensure “ Power for all by 2012”.

Potential for Hydropower development
The Indian power system requirement had been assessed to need a hydropower and
thermal/nuclear power-mix in the ratio of 40:60 for flexibility in system operation
depending on typical load pattern. The present ratio is 25:75, which needs to be
corrected immediately to meet peak load requirements as well as system and frequency
stability. Hydropower is clean power having no pollution ramifications during operation
and it is most cost effective option - free from inflation linked to fuel consumption.
Although it is effective tool to counter large variations between peak and off peak
requirements and frequency variations, the Hydro share in global power generation has
reduced from 21% to 17.1% as evident by the chart below:

Despite hydroelectric projects being recognized as the most economic and preferred
source of electricity, the share of hydropower has declined in India steadily. At the time
of Independence, the share of hydro in the total installed capacity was around 37%
which continued to rise, crossing 50% in the year 1963. The share of hydro, however,
started declining thereafter. Until the late seventies, the share of hydro remained above
40%, considered to be the ideal hydrothermal mix for meeting the demand in an efficient
manner. However, ever since the eighties, the share of hydro has started declining
sharply and at present, the share of hydro constitutes only about 25% of the overall
installed capacity of the country. The graph below shows the trend over the years

JAL entered in to the business of power generation through hydel-power project SPVs. Its
(though separate subsidiaries) 300 MW Baspa – II project has already commenced
operations in June 2003, while the 400 MW Vishnuprayag Hydel Project is expected to be
operational by December, 2006. The works in respect of 1,000 MW Karcham Wangtoo
Project are expected to commence in FY 2004-05 and the project is expected to be
commissioned in 2009.
The Energy & Resources Institute (TERI) had been commissioned to estimate the demand-
supply gaps in the northern region of the country. TERI has provided Demand-Supply
analysis for future years in respect of the states in the Northern Region viz. Delhi, Haryana,
Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. A summary of the same is presented hereunder:

With incremental capacity additions, Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan are expected to
become energy surplus by 2007-08 while Haryana and Uttar Pradesh will continue to be
energy deficient.
Total energy and peak deficits in these states are likely to be 9,207 million units (5.02%)
and 3,309 MW (10.46%) respectively However, except for Punjab and Rajasthan, other
states will continue to remain deficient in respect of meeting the peak energy
requirement.
In 2007-08, energy as well as peak deficit for these states is expected to be at 5.025 and
10.46%
It can be observed from the above that power deficit is likely to continue in the northern
region over the next five year period. The deficit is likely to get accentuated in the event
the commissioning of the capacity under construction / under planning gets delayed.
Hydel power projects are economical and competitive in the long run. Power Purchase
Agreements for Baspa-II and Vishnuprayag Hydel Projects have been entered into with
Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board and Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd.
respectively. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been entered into with PTC for
sale of entire power in respect of the Karcham Wangtoo Project.
Further, the enactment of the Electricity Act, 2003 is expected to greatly benefit
competitive power producers, with its emphasis on power trading and open access to
transmission. The power sector reforms are expected to be pursued further, providing
incentives to the State Electricity Boards to improve their operating and financial
parameters, and also simultaneously introduce private sector participants in the
transmission and distribution chain.

The hydro-power projects involve substantial river bed works (barrage and dams, etc.)
and underground works (tunnels, power houses, etc.) and therefore carry the risks
associated with floods in the river and adverse geological conditions. The law and order
problem may also cause concern depending on the location of the project. Typically,
the bids are made including the expected inflation factor. Thus, the risk of increase in
prices of inputs is, to an extent, mitigated. With over three decades of involvement in
execution of hydro-electric power projects works JAL has imbibed adequate experience
to deal with and manage these risks. Further, stoppage of works due to instructions of
employer or due to reasons beyond the control of the contractor would typically lead to
payment of stoppage charges to the contractor, which would be over and above the
contract prices. The contracts specify the quantum and nature of work to be carried out
by the contractor. Any increase in the scope of work beyond the specifications due to
factors such as geology, would be compensated by the contractors for an additional
consideration.
In view of the fact that JAL typically takes up large size construction contracts of sizes
over Rs. 500 crores which requires large scale mobilization of man power, machinery and
material, the timely receipt of payments from the client is critical. Generally, the contract
terms involve payment of advance for mobilization while the balance amount is linked to
the physical progress of the project. JAL restricts its interest to those projects, which have
the budgetary outlay / sources of finances tied up (i.e. financial closure achieved), thus,
minimizing the risk of delays in payment. The outstanding receivables of JAL (other than
Iraq project receivables) of JAL vis-à-vis its construction division turnover over the last 3
years have been as under:

In order to take an advantage of the opportunities arising in the infrastructure sector, JAL
has embarked on a multi-pronged growth strategy, which includes inter-alia:
Setting up hydro-electric power projects on Build-Own-Operate basis;
Increasing the manufacturing capacities of the cement units;
Entering the field of civil construction of railway tracks.

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
JAL has successfully demonstrated its expertise in the field of civil engineering and
construction of river valley and hydro-electric power projects. As an extension of the
same, it has taken up development of its own power projects having regard to existing
demand-supply and source-wise power generation imbalances in the country. JAL has
experienced manpower in this specialized field with requisite expertise in implementing
such projects. It has already successfully implemented the 3x100 MW Baspa-II hydro-
electric project in Himachal Pradesh in spite of various difficulties including a difficult
terrain and interruptions like the flash floods, at a competitive cost. It has already
achieved substantial progress in respect of implementation of its 400 MW Vishnuprayag
Hydro-electric project with the entire debt component tied up and commissioning
expected within the envisaged time frame. The success in implementation of these
projects is on account of JAL’s vast experience and in-house capabilities in the design
and engineering of hydel projects, commitment shown by JAL by way of bringing in its
envisaged equity contribution in a timely manner for the above projects and the
confidence placed in its abilities by the lending community.
The cement division is undergoing a capacity expansion, which will take its capacity to 7
million TPA. The expansion includes upgradation of the facilities at its existing units and
setting up of 1 million TPA grinding unit at Tanda in UP. The funds required for the program
have already been tied-up and the scheme expected to be completed by September
2004.
The program for the setting up two captive power units for the cement division has also
achieved substantial progress and fund requirements for the same have already been
tied-up. The 25 MW unit at Jaypee Puram started trial run from Nov. 2003 and fully
stabilised production from May 2004 and second 25 MW coal based captive thermal
plant is scheduled for commissioning in September 2004.
Subsidiary Investments
JAL’s investments include its holding Jaypee Hotels Ltd. (JHL) and Special Purpose
Vehicles (SPVs) formed for implementation and operation of 300 MW Baspa-II and 400
MW Vishnuprayag Hydro-electric projects.
JHL's operations have been profitable and Baspa-II Hydro-electric project has already
achieved successful commencement of commercial operations. The Vishnuprayag
Hydro-electric project is also in an advanced stage of implementation and is expected
to be commissioned within the envisaged time frame i.e. by December, 2006. Both the
projects are competitive in terms of capital cost per MW of installed capacity and firm
power purchase agreements with minimum guaranteed returns on equity are already in
place. In order to further enhance the competitiveness of tariff, JHPL has embarked on
debt swapping program to reduce the interest cost in respect of Baspa-II project by
taking advantage of present low interest scenario and substantially improved risk
perception of the project.
The gap between the demand and supply of power is expected to continue in the
northern region for many more years, which will ensure adequate off-take of power from
these units, thus providing steady returns to JAL in the form of dividends.

Litigation against the company and the group companies alongwith the management
perception to mitigate the same is given in Clause XII titled as "Outstanding Litigation or
Default" herein below.
The Indian Economy is expected to grow at over 6% p.a. in the medium term. The growth
is envisaged to be driven by investments in infrastructure, aimed at de-bottlenecking the
Over the years JAL’s construction division has emerged as a leader in the field of civil
engineering and construction of hydro-electric power / river valley projects in the
country. The other engineering companies involved in this sector in India are HCC Ltd.,
L& T (ECC), Continental Construction Ltd. and Gammon India Ltd. JAL enjoys CR1, the
highest contractor grading awarded by ICRA and is also placed favorably in terms of
profit margins owing to its entrenched position, focus on large size contracts (typically
with a size of over Rs. 500 crores), in-house design and engineering expertise, and the
track record of timely and successful execution of contracts. JAL also compares
favorably with other major construction firms in the country with a substantial order book
to turnover ratio. In view of the above, JAL expects to retain the major slice of the market
share even in respect of the hydro-power construction contracts to be awarded in
future.
With the existing demand-supply gap, both in terms of peak deficit as well as aggregate
energy deficit, significant capacity addition is planned in the generation sector. With a
need to correct the present hydel: thermal capacity ratio from 25:75 to 40:60 and long-
term economic attractiveness of hydel projects, JAL can be expected to bag more
construction contracts and keep its order book flowing.
Generally the civil works, electro-mechanical works and specialized works in respect of
the construction projects are covered by separate packages. However, in order to
minimize the delays resulting from interface problems between various agencies, the
construction contracts in many cases are now being awarded as a single consolidated
Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) package. This necessitates formation of
consortia of various parties specializing in execution of different components. In view of
the same, JAL, whenever deemed necessary submits its bid as a consortium partner
along with other national and international players like SNC / Acres INC., SNC Lavalin /
82
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Acres Transnational, GE Canada, Voith Seimens Hydro Kraftwerkstechnik GmBH & Co.
KG. etc.
The cement division comprises of over 30% of the installed cement manufacturing
capacity in the Satna Cluster, which is its natural marketing zone. JAL expects a likely
shortfall in production of cement in the Satna cluster, which would favorably impact the
cement division prospects. The setting up of the captive power units for its cement plants
in addition to steps taken by it to reduce the power consumption of the units will further
improve its competitiveness by lowering its power cost, which is one of the key inputs. The
increase in the cement manufacturing capacity to 7 MTPA by debottlenecking would
further improve the cement division's profitability.
The Government of India has taken initiative for development of huge power generation
capacity in ensuing 5 years plans with special emphasis on hydro power project
development in order to correct the Hydro Thermal Mix from 25:75 to 40:60. The segment
of hydro power E & C business become very eluring. This will lead to more and more
players coming into the business which will increase competition, changes in policies for
awarding all major EPC Contracts to ICB route would enhance, competition on global
level. Such increased competition may result into reduced margins.
JAL presently being well equipped including having MOU for consortium bidding would
enable it to take such competition and the rising competition should not make a dent on
JAL's profit and turnover.
