India has been one of the fastest growing economies inemerging markets. Indian economy has posted more than 9% growth for three yearsconsecutively and has seen a decade of more than 7% growth. One of the key factorsbehind any growing country is the energy requirement and supply in that country.

Coal :As you are aware that the Fuel is the most important and critical part of the Companyoperations and therefore the Company is continuously making efforts for improvement in fuelprocurement, management and cost. In the present regulatory regime, Company committedto reduce its fuel cost and perform with better efficiency. During the year, various steps havebeen taken for improvement in availability of coal, its quantity and reduction in cost. Thisincludes better coal linkages, increased use of washed coal and blending of imported coal.Company aimed at 100% beneficiation of low-grade, high-ash indigenous coal as per its long-term fuel strategy and achieved almost 100% beneficiation and supply of washed coal to itsPower Stations in the year 2008-09. To overcome the demand-supply gap of domestic coal,the Ministry of Power, Govt. of India issued targets of import of coal by the SEB’s/ PowerUtilities. In spite of very high prices in the International Coal Market, GSECL imported 1 milliontonnes of coal in the year 2008-09 as against the target of 1.38 million tonnes given by MoP.Thus, by blending of @ 17% of imported coal at Gandhinagar and Sikka Power Stations anda small at quantity at Wanakbori TPS; the Company had met with the directive of MoP,shortages of the domestic coal and also availed the technical benefits with the use of importedcoal.The Company executed Coal Supply Agreements with South Eastern Coalfields Ltd. andWestern Coalfields Limited for GSECL Power Stations. Due to execution of the Agreements,the fuel security for the existing coal-based Power Stations has been ensured to the greatextent.All these steps have contributed to improve the present fuel procurements to ensure regularsupply of quality fuel. This will lead to reduction in cost and better plant performance.Captive Mining:Your Directors are pleased to inform you that to have a fuel security for the future generationexpansion plans, the Company had joined hands together with Mahagenco and incorporateda JVC in the name of “Mahaguj Collieries Ltd.” (MGCL) and MGCL appointed a Mine Developer-cum-Operator for the development of the allotted coal blocks.Gas & Oil :
