OBJECTS AND RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSFER PLAN:

•

The Transferor departments are wholly owned departments of Government and the

Transferee Corporation i.e. DNHDDPCL which is also a wholly owned Corporation of the

Government and engaged in similar nature of business. In order to consolidate the similar

nature of business at one place and effectively manage the Transferor departments and

Transferee Corporation as a single entity, which will provide several benefits including

streamlined group structure by reducing the number of legal entities, reducing the multiplicity

of legal and regulatory compliances, rationalizing costs, it is intended that the Departments be

merged with Transferee Corporation.

•

The independent operations of the Departments and Transferee Corporation leads to

incurrence of significant costs and the merger would enable economies of scale by attaining

critical mass and achieving cost saving. The merger will thus eliminate a multi-layered

structure and reduce managerial overlaps, which are necessarily involved in running multiple

entities and also prevent cost duplication that can erode financial efficiencies of a holding

structure and the resultant operations would be substantially cost-efficient. This Transfer Plan

would result in Simplified corporate structure of the Transferee Corporation and its

businesses, thereby leading to more efficient utilization of capital and creation of a

consolidated base for future growth of the Transferee Corporation.

•

The merger will contribute in furthering and fulfilling the objectives and business

strategies of both the departments thereby accelerating growth, expansion and development

of the respective businesses through the Transferee Corporation. The merger will thus enable

further expansion of the Transferee Corporation and provide a strong and focused base to

undertake the business more advantageously. Further, this arrangement would bring

concentrated management focus, integration, streamlining of the management structure,

seamless implementation of policy changes and shall also help enhance the efficiency and

control of the Transferor Companies and Transferee Corporation.

•

The synergies created by plan of arrangement would increase operational efficiency

and integrate business functions.

•

The proposed arrangement will provide greater integration and flexibility to the

Transferee Corporation and strengthen its position in the industry, in terms of the asset base,

revenues and service range.

•

The other benefits of the proposed merger include:

(a) Optimum and efficient utilization and rationalization of capital, resources, assets and

facilities;

(b) Enhancement of competitive strengths including financial resources;

(d) Better management and focus on growing the businesses;

Lacs

(Approx.)

ED-DD has awarded contract to M/s BHEL for EPC and O&M

of 3 MW at Fudam, Diu. The plant got damaged due to cyclone

in the month of May, 2021. ED-DD has requested to carryout

damage assessment survey and restoration of plant. However,

BHEL has not carried out any survey nor restoration work.

BHEL unilaterally closed the contract without fulfillment of

closing of contract obligations as per the agreement.

Accordingly, ED-DD revoked performance guarantee to

partially fulfill the losses incurred due to the above damages

and Net Minimum Guaranteed Generation short fall. In against

of this, BHEL has filed an appeal at High Court, Bengaluru.

Rs.

6400

Lacs

(Approx.)

Claim made by M/s Ratnagiri Gas & Power Private Limited

(RGPPL). The RGPPL had stopped the generation and supply

of power since October-2013 on account of minimum

technical requirement load as the principal beneficiary (95%

beneficiary of installed capacity) of the said power plant i.e.

Maharashtra was not scheduling the power. Accordingly, the

non-supply of the power as per the terms of Purchase Power

Agreement (PPA) is solely on account of reason attributable to

RGPPL, hence, the ED-DD is not liable to make any payment

to RGPPL. RGPPL has also not initiated / taken any litigation

in the said matter before any authority as per the agreed terms

of the PPA.
