I. UPDATES ON SUBSIDIARIES
Suzlon Wind Energy South Africa PTY Ltd., Suzlon Energy Australia CYMWFD Pty. Ltd., Sure Power LLC, Renewable Energy
Contractors Australia Pty. Ltd., REpower Systems Polska Sp.zo.o, REpower Systems Scandinavia AB, REpower Portugal -
Sistemas Eolicos, S.A., Ventipower S.A. and RiaBlades S.A. became step down subsidiaries of the Company.
Windpark Meckel/Gilzem GmbH & Co KG ceased to be subsidiary of the Company and Sister – sistemas e Technologia de
Energias renovaveis Lda was liquidated.
The name of Einundzwanzigste Vittorio Verwaltungs GmbH was changed to REpower Systems GmbH.
Updates on REpower
The Company through AE-Rotor Holding BV, The Netherlands (‘AERH’), a step down wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company acquired an additional 4.86% voting power of REpower Systems SE (‘REpower’). AERH directly and indirectly holds
95.16% of the registered share capital of REpower. Under the German Stock Corporation Act, a shareholding of 95% in a
German stock corporation enables the majority shareholder to initiate squeeze-out proceedings in respect of minority
shareholders. The Company, through AERH, had provided a notice to the Executive Board of REpower requesting the
conduct of a squeeze-out proceeding. Accordingly squeeze-out proceeding has been initiated in accordance with German
Regulations. A successful completion of the squeeze-out proceedings will result in REpower becoming a step-down wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. Further, AERH has informed the Executive Board of REpower that it has set the cash
compensation for the transfer of the shares from the minority shareholders of REpower to AERH at EUR 142.77 per no-par
value share in compliance with the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act. A resolution on the squeeze-out is
proposed to be passed at the annual general meeting of REpower, which is scheduled to take place on September 21, 2011.
Updates on Hansen
The Company presently holds 26.06% in Hansen Transmissions International NV (‘Hansen’). Post March 31, 2011, AERH has
signed an irrevocable undertaking in favour of ZF Friedrichshafen AG (‘ZF’) to sell its entire equity interest in Hansen i.e.
26.06% pursuant to cash offer to be made by ZF International BV (“ZF Bidco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZF, for the entire
issued and to be issued share capital of Hansen at 66 pence per ordinary share which will aggregate to 115 million GBP (USD
187 million). AERH’s obligation to accept the Offer under the Irrevocable Undertaking will lapse in certain circumstances,
including if a firm intention to make an offer for Hansen’s shares is made by a third party for a consideration that is at least
12.5 per cent higher than consideration offered under the Offer or if the Offer lapses or is withdrawn.
During the year under review, a Petition under Section 391 to 394 read with Section 78 and 100 to 103 of the Companies Act,
1956 has been filed by the Company, Suzlon Towers And Structures Limited (STSL) and Suzlon Gujarat Wind Park Limited
(SGWPL) with the Honourable High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad and by Suzlon Infrastructure Services Limited (SISL) and
Suzlon Engitech Limited (SENL) with the Honourable High Court of Judicature at Bombay for sanctioning the Composite
Scheme of Arrangement and Restructuring (De-merger and Amalgamation) between STSL, SISL, SGWPL, SENL, the wholly
owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Company (SEL) for De-merger and Transfer of Power Generation Division of
STSL to SENL, De-merger of Project Execution Division of SISL to SGWPL, Amalgamation of STSL (after the above referred de-
merger) with the Company and Amalgamation of SISL (after the above referred de-merger) with the Company. The
Appointed Date fixed for the purpose is April 1, 2010.
The benefits that would be derived from Amalgamation and Demerger are as under:
i. Power Generation business requires separate and different skills altogether and hence demerging it into SENL
will help to run it more efficiently.
ii. Project Execution is part of infrastructure building in which SGWPL is currently engaged into. The business of
erection and commissioning presently undertaken by SISL, primarily in nature of infrastructure development,
requires different skills and approach to the business for which the company has to select and train its
employees to achieve high performance standards so as to meet the standards of its large and reputed
competitors in the infrastructure space. With the proposed demerger and transfer of the said division,
SGWPL would be better placed to scale up its skills in the infrastructure business and able to hire best talent
available in the industry.
- The Tower business requires scaling up in view of the increased domestic market and needs focused efforts to bring
the cost down on a continuous basis with equal emphasis on the quality side as well. Synergies of Supply Chain
Management can be derived by bringing the Tower business into SEL.
- Better and efficient material management along with stores management can be achieved, ensuring on time
delivery in full.
- Quick and more responsive product improvement and R&D on tower can be made possible through well established
and more resourceful set up of SEL. Better compatibility of tower with each version of nacelle and better use of
design and technical core competence of SEL would be the key benefits accruing as a result of this merger;
- Better negotiating powers resulting into competitive sourcing of materials and services through more active support
of well established Supply Chain Management Team of SEL.
- Customers will get more comfort and surety of after sales services for 20 years post commissioning, which is
becoming a key factor to get more business.
- Existing customers would feel more convinced from the fact that the equipment supplier itself is taking care of the
OMS part. Long term visibility will be provided to large customers by providing OMS services through equipment
supplier (SEL) only and thereby improving chances of availing more business from Utilities, Multi National
Companies and other big corporate customers.
- Availability of critical components from third party gets guaranteed for OMS.
- With Indian business profile picking up and with the changing scenario, customers expect OMS Service provider to
have a stronger Balance Sheet. SEL is better placed than SISL.
- Regular and online feedback from OMS Team provides enormous help in improving and upgrading the overall quality
of its equipments, which would be possible with this amalgamation.
- Better working capital management through maintenance of common stock of spares for OMS as well as for regular
production and also better Machine Availability of WTGs resulting into higher customer satisfaction.
iii. The proposed amalgamation will enhance the bargaining power resulting in cost optimization through economical
procurements from common vendors and suppliers.
iv. The proposed arrangement will consolidate the business activity of all the companies, thereby resulting into time,
transactions and cost optimization and improvisation of overall operational efficiency and quality.
v. The proposed arrangement shall improve the efficiency in cash management, organizational capability from pooling of
human capital having skill, talents and vast experience and thereby increase in competitiveness in the industry.
vi. The proposed arrangement will create enhanced value for shareholders and allow a focused strategy in operations, which
would be in the best interest of all its shareholders, creditors and all persons connected with the companies.

The Directors refer to the qualification and Matter of Emphasis in the Auditor’s Report and as required by section 217(3) of
the Companies Act, 1956, provide their explanation as under:
Qualification:
Note 3 of Schedule P of standalone financial statements and Note 5 of Schedule P of consolidated financial statements
regarding recognition of deferred tax asset aggregating Rs.55.64 crore. Auditors are of the opinion that recognition of
deferred tax asset does not satisfy the conditions of virtual certainty prescribed under Accounting Standard – 22,
Accounting for Taxes on Income as notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and have
expressed qualified opinion.
Management response:
The Company has brought forward losses which can be set off against tax liabilities which would arise on its’ future profits
and also available for set off against profits of subsidiaries getting amalgamated with the Company post implementation of
the Composite Scheme of Arrangement and Restructuring (De-merger and Amalgamation). The Company believes that
profitability in first quarter of next financial year and healthy order book in hands of the Company and the current advanced
stage of the said Scheme satisfy the conditions of virtual certainty prescribed under Accounting Standard – 22 for
recognition of deferred tax assets.
Matter of Emphasis:
Note 4 of Schedule P of standalone financial statements and Note 7 of Schedule P of consolidated financial statements
regarding non provision of proportionate premium on redemption of foreign currency convertible bonds amounting to
Rs.579.21 crore in securities premium as the ultimate outcome of the matter cannot presently be ascertained.
Management response:
In the opinion of the management, redemption of foreign currency convertible bonds is contingent in nature and the
likelihood of the same cannot presently be ascertained. Accordingly no provision for any liability has been made in the
financial statements and the proportionate premium has been shown as a contingent liability. Further, the Company has
adequate securities premium to absorb the proportionate premium on redemption as at March 31, 2011, in case the
contingency materialises.
Matter of Emphasis:
Note 6 of Schedule P of consolidated financial statements regarding non provision of Infrastructure Development Charges
('IDC') aggregating Rs.64.80 crore.
Management response:
The Indian Wind Energy Association (‘InWEA') of which the Company is a member has filed a civil appeal in the Supreme
Court against an order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity in regard to levy of IDC by Tamil Nadu State Electricity Board.
The matter is pending the hearing of the Supreme Court. The Company has obtained a legal opinion which states that InWEA
(and consequently the Company) has a strong case and accordingly the Company has shown it as a contingent liability.
16. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The directors wish to place on record their appreciation for the co-operation and support received from the government and semi-
government agencies, especially from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, all state level
nodal agencies and all state electricity boards.
The directors are thankful to all the bankers and financial institutions for their support to the Company. The Board places on record
its appreciation for continued support provided by the esteemed customers, suppliers, bankers, financial institutions, consultants,
bond holders and shareholders.
The directors also acknowledge the hard work, dedication and commitment of the employees. The enthusiasm and unstinting efforts
of the employees have enabled the Company to survive through the tough times and to show improvements on many fronts enabling it
to continue as one of the leading players in the wind industry and maintain its dominant position in the domestic markets.
A. Conservation of energy
The Company’s new corporate headquarter in Pune, India named ‘ONE EARTH’ is an environmental-friendly campus, with a
minimal carbon footprint on the surrounding environment. The Campus was awarded the coveted LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Platinum rating and GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) green building certifications
for its approach towards sustainability and green practices towards infrastructure.
Suzlon continues its efforts to reduce and optimise the use of energy consumption at its manufacturing facilities by installing hi-
tech energy monitoring and conservation systems to monitor usage, minimise wastage and increase overall efficiency at every
stage of power consumption.
The Company and its subsidiaries operate several research and testing centres in India and overseas locations. Its Blade testing
centre at Baroda, India and innovation centre at Denmark along with joint research centre with REpower (Renewable Energy
Technology Centre) continues to drive its R&D programme towards developing cost efficient and reliable wind turbine technology.
Efforts towards technology absorption, adoption and innovation are briefly noted below:
1. Initiatives like Kaizen, Six Sigma, O&M studies, started last year, have improving productivity, reduced quality problems and
have also helped in harnessing the creative capabilities of the employees.
2. Planning for starting a product development group within India is complete and will be implemented in the coming year.
This will hasten the process of technology absorption and will also bring down the cost of development in the long run.
3. Design Change Management process has been implemented and is being made to ensure better control on cost benefit
analysis and prioritization of the design changes to ensure that we derive the maximum benefit from the limited resources.
This process will be made more robust over the next year.
4. The Company has launched 2 new products S 95 and S 97 recently and the prototypes are under measurement and
certification.
Total foreign exchange earned by the Company during the year under review was Rs.215.07 Crore compared to Rs.1,103.93 Crore
during the previous year. Total foreign exchange outgo during the year under review was Rs.2,354.67 Crore, compared to
Rs.1,716.27 Crore during the previous year.

With new installation of 38 GW during the calendar year 2010, worldwide installations of wind energy generation crossed 197 GW
which covers almost 4% of the global electricity supply.
Traditional energy sources such as coal, oil or gas are not only facing limitation of resources, but they are also causing greenhouse
gas emissions and hence cannot be seen as sustainable energy sources. At the same time, recent incidents have indicated very
clearly that nuclear power, also due to its big risks and high capex costs, is not a very viable option economically, socially and
environmentally either.
Instead, the world has to look for wind energy, in combination with other renewable energy sources. It is important to underline
that wind energy offers a very broad range of applications. It is versatile, can serve the needs of rural areas in unserved areas in
developing countries, and cater to energy intensive industries in industrialised regions and countries.
By 2015, total worldwide installation of wind energy is expected to cross over 442 GW which is almost 2.3 times of the current
installation. This will cover about 7.5% of the global electricity supply by then.

Certificates, continue to boost development of wind
market across the globe.
Wind energy has been accepted as a mainstream renewable technology by utilities across the world, to meet their renewable
portfolio targets as mandated international and country based targets.
During the period 2011-2015, wind power is expected to grow at an annual growth rate of about 17%. In Asia strong growth is
expected, especially in China. India will continue to demonstrate high level capacity additions approximately to the tune of 3 to 4
GW per year. Growth in emerging markets such as Latin America, Southern and Eastern Europe and Africa will offset probable
short-term sluggish growth rates in the mature markets of the world.
3. SUZLON POSITIONING
This year was an important one for the Company, marking 15 years of existence and 17 GW installations worldwide. Suzlon has
achieved over 6 GW of cumulative installations in India, nearly half of the country’s total wind installations. Suzlon is the fifth largest
supplier in the world having a cumulative market share of ~ 9%.
Suzlon offers one of the most comprehensive product portfolios, ranging from 0.60 MW onshore turbines to one of the world’s
largest commercial 6.15 MW offshore turbines, built on a vertically integrated, low cost manufacturing base. Added to that proven
technology, global R&D centers, 24 X 7 monitoring system with dedicated team focusing each day on the customer satisfaction, has
Suzlon’s contribution towards combating climate change, building a greener and sustainable tomorrow was recognized at the
COP16 global submit in Mexico where it was presented with Gigaton Award for global leadership in emissions control and
sustainability practices in the energy category.
Mr. Tulsi Tanti, Chairman and Managing Director, was conferred the title “Wind Visionary of Asia” by the Asian Development Bank.
The recognition emphasizes Suzlon’s commitment to build the case for wind across the world and highlights a decade of
tremendous work in key markets of Asia.
4. BUSINESS STRATEGY
Suzlon operations are now spread across Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa and North and South America with operations in 32
countries. Suzlon boosted its customer profiles by signing biggest contracts from IPP (Independent Power Producer) in the
Indian market - a 1000 MW order from Caparo Energy and a 202 MW order from the Techno Electric Group. Suzlon also
secured 218 MW order in Brazil from the Martifer Group reinforcing Suzlon’s presence in the global market.
In the European Onshore segment, the company’s international business arm, Suzlon Wind Energy A/S, broke new ground
with its first order in Sweden. The Company has also entered into an agreement with Volkswind Bulgaria, a subsidiary of
Germany’s Volkswind GmbH. This aims to accelerate the manufacturer’s growth in the Bulgarian wind energy market and
will develop projects exclusively using Suzlon wind turbines. In April 2011, REpower entered into its biggest onshore
framework agreement in Europe with Juwi for 720 MW covering upto 240 wind turbines of 3 MW systems.
In the European Offshore segment, REpower has signed a contract with Belgian offshore project development company, C-
Power for development of 295 MW project in phase II and III of the first Belgian offshore wind farm, Thornton Bank. A bank
consortium of seven commercial banks together with European investment bank is providing necessary financing for the
said project. This represents the biggest ever project financing in the offshore wind industry. REpower has also signed
another major contract with RWE Innogy for development of 295 MW project at Nordsee Ost. This is the first supply under
the framework agreement concluded between REpower and RWE Innogy in February 2009 for the delivery of up to 250
turbines of 5M/6M turbines.
Suzlon and REpower have R&D and technology centers in Germany, the Netherlands, India and China. Its R&D initiatives
have led to the development of Suzlon’s new S9X suite of turbines – comprising the S88-2.25 MW, S95 and S97 2.1 MW
turbines. This suite of products, is an evolution of Suzlon’s proven S88-2.1 MW platform, and is built around the core doubly
fed induction generator based technology.
A compact and modular DFIG design allows ease of serviceability and meets the latest grid requirements for smoother wind
power plant connectivity. New blade designs with rotor diameter of 95 meter and 97 meter offers a larger swept area with
greater energy capture and power production from moderate to low wind speeds. To ensure the highest standards in
quality, Suzlon’s blade testing facilities far exceeds industry baseline by simulating total life cycle of blade (1 million cycles) in
most extreme onsite conditions.
In the onshore segment, REpower has launched two new variant for low wind speed regions. One in its 3XM series-3.2M114
and another new MM series turbine, MM100 with rated output of 3.17 MW and 1.80 MW respectively. The construction of
3.2M114 uses the economical hybrid tower type of construction with concrete and steel. The manufacturing principle also
makes it extremely easy to dismantle. The MM100 is specially adapted for the North American market. In February 2011,
REpower received a unit certificate from GL Renewables certification for its 3.4M104 turbines. This confirms that the wind
turbines meet the technical requirements of the Renewable Energy Act and the System Service ordinance. In addition to the
3.4M104, the MM82 and MM92 were also certified last year. As a result REpower is the first wind turbine manufacturer to
have received unlimited unit certificates (EZE) for its onshore turbines.
In the offshore segment, REpower has gained a level of skills that sets it apart from majority of its competitors. The machine
availability of REpower offshore turbines have shown result at par with onshore turbines despite the adverse conditions in
the open ocean.
Suzlon transformation program christened ACE (Achieving Collective Excellence) started in June 2009, has brought
significant improvements in the areas of manufacturing, technology, product design, market strategy, leadership and the
like. Turbine availability (uptime) has been consistently exceeding 97 per cent for its global operating fleet. New products
under S9X and 3XM series were timely launched with strong cross functional collaborations. Margin improvements were
achieved through effective capacity utilisation and value engineering. Efforts are in place to reduce the deployment of
working capital through improvement in operational efficiencies.
Some of the key risks identified and steps taken to mitigate the adverse impact of same are noted below:
• Technology
Wind turbine technology is constantly evolving. A shift towards direct drive turbines, more particularly in large multi
– MW turbines in commercial market was witnessed last year. The promoters of direct drive concept claims that it is
a simpler mechanism – no gearbox means less maintenance and fewer components and it is likely to become
competitive with traditional drive train machines. Further development of technologically superior turbines
requires investments, which may not turn out to be a business opportunity.
Suzlon believes that traditional drive-train designs with continuous innovations are a proven technology and would
continue to be competitive in the years to come. The 97% machine availability of Suzlon models demonstrates the
strength of the technology. The risk of investments in innovation projects are addressed by structured periodic
reviews of all programs and investment by senior management. The research and testing centres at Baroda, India
and Netherlands are focussed on WTG performance improvements and development of next generation wind
turbine generators. Suzlon always believe in providing its customers with the best value for their investment, and
they would drive their technological work, to provide the same, at all times.
Increase in commodity prices has the effect of putting pressure on margins. Also shortage of critical components like
gear box, slew rings, pitch bearing, towers, control panels, glass fibre etc. may affect timely delivery of wind turbines.
Suzlon has mitigated supply chain risk to a great extent through its backward integration strategy, rate negotiation
with vendors, alternative sourcing, indigenisation of critical components and various other measures like part of
Copper cables was replaced with Rubber Cables and Aluminium Cables etc and thereby leveraging Suzlon’s ability to
timely source components at competitive prices.
A significant part of Suzlon’s revenue, costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in foreign currency. Unhedged
trade and financial exposure thus creates potential to adversely impact our project and overall profitability.
Suzlon’s presence across geographies helps in providing natural hedging by offsetting purchase and sales
transactions amongst various currencies. Risks are recognized at the contractual juncture and are hedged
progressively at various stages of project life cycle, depending upon the nature of the transactions and in accordance
with the Hedging Policy of the company. During the year, risk management practices continued to focus on
minimising the economic impact on Company profitability arising from fluctuations in exchange rates.
Suzlon is exposed to interest rate fluctuation at the group level. The Corporate Finance Team is continuously involved
in working out interest rate sensitivity and propositions to mitigate the interest rate risk.
• Credit risk
Suzlon is exposed to high debt, taken to fund its inorganic growth. With increased interest rates and credit squeeze
across the globe, funding of Wind Projects still remains a challenge, leading to slow order inflow in markets like
Europe and USA.
Suzlon has been able to bring down its net debt - equity ratio to around 1.4. Company has also undertaken USD
175mn Foreign Currency Bond issue in April 2011. Focus on cost reduction, improved operational efficiencies and
reduction in working capital deployment, is expected to help in reducing the liquidity pressure.
Suzlon’s internal management audit team periodically undertake independent reviews of risks, controls, operations and
procedures, identify control and process gaps and recommend business solutions for risk mitigation. Management has launched
“Project Evolution” to assess, evaluate, strengthen and institutionalise the “Corporate Value System” covering process, people and
cultural alignment from ethical business practice standpoint.
The Audit Committee of the Board periodically reviews the management audit reports, audit plans and recommendation of the
auditors and management’s response to those recommendations. The Audit Committee met four times during the year under
review.
A. Sources of funds
The share capital increased by Rs. 44 crore from Rs. 311 crore as at March 31, 2010 to Rs. 355 crore as at March 31, 2011
mainly on account of
(1) Issuance of 18.86 crore equity shares of Rs. 2 each @ premium of Rs. 61 each on rights basis to the existing shareholders of
the Company.
(2) Issuance of 3.20 crore equity shares of Rs. 2 each @ premium of Rs. 58 each on preferential basis to ‘IDFC Private Equity Fund
III’ (IDFC PE) as a consideration for acquisition of 4.13 crore equity shares of Rs. 10 each in SE Forge Limited (SEFL), a
subsidiary of the Company. Consequent to acquisition of IDFC PE’s stake in SEFL, SEFL became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company.
A summary of reserves and surplus is provided in the table below: Rs. in crore
Capital redemption reserve increased by Rs. 30 crore due to redemption of preference shares of few subsidiaries
during the current year.
During the year there was a reduction in unrealised gain on dilution by Rs. 135 crore due to acquisition of 17.1% stake
back from ‘IDFC Private Equity Fund III’ (IDFC PE) in SE Forge Limited (SEFL) which was diluted in 2009.
The securities premium account increased by Rs. 1,336 crore as a result of issuance of shares on rights issue and
preferential allotment of shares. It reduced by Rs. 9 crore due to expenses incurred on issuance of shares under rights
issue.
The change in FCTR is due to exchange fluctuation resulting from translation of the accounts of overseas subsidiaries
into reporting currency of the parent company i.e. INR.
There is debit balance of Rs. 553 crore in profit and loss account as at March 31, 2011 after transfer of Rs. 30 crore to
CRR and Rs. 142 crore to Legal and statutory reserve.
REpower acquired control of RiaBlades S.A and Ventipower S.A on February 03, 2011 and holds 3% stake. Minority share
of losses represents losses of RiaBlades S.A and Ventipower S.A over the minority's share in equity on acquisition.
There is no movement in General reserve and Capital reserve on consolidation as compared to previous year.
During the current year, the group has availed long term loans of Rs. 1,599 crore mainly under debt consolidation and
refinancing arrangement and this increase has been primarily offset by conversion of unsecured loan from promoters worth
of Rs. 1,187 crore into equity apart from repayment of short term loans of Rs. 726 crore and term loans of Rs. 151 crore.
Rs. in crore
Net increase in deferred tax liability by Rs. 36 crore is on account of changes in temporary allowances and disallowances
calculated as per the tax regulations applicable to respective entities within the group. We have assessed the likelihood that
our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable profits.
B. Application of funds
1. Fixed assets
Rs. in crore
(1) Goodwill of Rs. 221 crore primarily due to acquisition of additional stake in Repower and acquisition of
balance 50% stake in REpower Portugal - Sistemas Eolicos, S.A (REpower Portugal) by REpower Systems AG.
(2) Addition of Rs. 207 crore is on account of acquisition of 50% stake of REpower Portugal - Sistemas Eolicos, S.A
by REpower Systems AG.
(3) Net additions to Plant & Machinery stood at Rs. 172 crore, technology related design and drawings at Rs. 163
crore.
b. Capital commitments
Capital commitment stands at Rs. 106 crore as at March 31, 2011 as compared to Rs. 115 crore as at March 31, 2010.
2. Investments
Rs. in crore
Reduction in “long term investment – Associates” is primarily on account of provision for diminution in value of investment
in Hansen Transmissions International NV (‘Hansen’) of Rs. 216 crore.
Movement in other investments is mainly due to Investment in mutual funds which are purely temporary in nature.
Rs. in crore
a. Inventories
During the current year Inventory holding period has reduced from 81 days to 72 days resulting in better utilisation of net
working capital. There is a sizeable reduction of Rs. 643 crore despite targets of higher sale in the forthcoming quarters. All
this could be made possible through consistent efforts of Supply Chain Management by value engineering, identification of
alternative sources, indigenisation of critical components, reduction in lead time and proper production planning and
forecasting.
b. Sundry debtors
Debtors balance has gone up to Rs. 4,237 crore, as against Rs. 3,174 crore as at the end of previous financial year. This is
primarily due to higher proportionate sale in India towards end of the year, delayed realisation from a large Chinese
customer (since realised) and movement from un-billed debtors to billed debtors.
As of March 31, 2011, the cash and bank balance stands at Rs. 3,121 crore as compared to Rs. 2,904 crore in previous year.
Corporate Treasury places the temporary surplus funds with banks and asset management companies for short term
maturities.
Other current assets representing unbilled revenue in relation to construction contracts have come down significantly to Rs.
1,679 crore as at March 31, 2011 as compared to Rs. 3,018 crore last year due to completion of relevant contract billing
milestone.
Rs. in crore
Loans and advances stood at Rs. 2,366 crore and Rs. 2,108 crore as at 31st March 2011 and 31st March 2010 respectively.
Rs. in crore
There is an overall increase of Rs. 405 crore in current liabilities and provisions. This is primarily on account of the following reasons
(a) Increase in sundry creditors is due to higher purchase in last quarter of the year to meet the demand of increased business
volumes.
C. Cash Flow
Net cash inflow from operating activities amounted to Rs. 1,214 crore is mainly due to operating profit. Net cash in investing
activities amounting to Rs. 828 crore has primarily been applied towards purchase of fixed assets and acquisition of stake in
subsidiaries. Net cash in financing activities amounting to Rs. 464 crore has been applied towards payment of interest.
D. Results of operations
On November 24, 2009, AE-Rotor Holding B.V. (‘AERH’), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company sold 35.22% of equity stake in
Hansen Transmissions International NV (‘Hansen’). Following this disposal, the Group had a voting and economic interest in Hansen
of 26.06% as a result of which Hansen ceased to be subsidiary of the Company. Hence, the consolidated financial figures for the year
ended March 31, 2010 inter alia included the financial figures of Hansen till November 30, 2009, as subsidiary and subsequently as
an associate.
For management analysis, the element of Hansen has been excluded from FY 2009-10 to have better analysis with the current year
figures.
Rs. in crore
1. Sales
Sales decreased by Rs. 254 crore ( 1.4%), from Rs. 18,133 crore in FY 2009-10 to Rs. 17,879 crore in FY 2010-11. The decrease was
primarily due to the reduction in demand as a result of financing difficulties faced by our customers caused by ongoing
difficulties in the credit markets, more so in first half of the financial year. However, the sales in second half of the year picked up.
2. Other income
Other income increased by Rs. 102 crore from Rs. 216 crore in FY 2009 – 10 to Rs. 318 crore in FY -2010 -11. This increase was
primarily due to increase in interest income received from banks due to increased level of fixed deposits and increase in
operating income.
COGS as % of sale increased marginally from 68.1% in FY 2009-10 to 69.7% in FY 2010 -11.This is primarily due to change in
sales mix, increase in commodity prices and currency translation impact on COGS of overseas subsidiaries. The overall trend
of cost per model continues to be under control and consistent efforts being taken to bring the cost down through value
engineering, better rate negotiation and expansion of vendor base.
The operating and other expenses have come down by more than 12% to Rs. 3,152 crore in 2010-11 as compared to Rs.
3,599 crore in 2009-10. The effort to bring overheads down is paying off.
Employees’ remuneration and benefit cost has remained almost static in proportion to sales. It has increased marginally
from Rs. 1,629 crore in FY 2009-10 to Rs. 1,676 crore in FY 2010 -11 representing 9.0% and 9.4% of sales respectively.

*resigned
To,
1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Suzlon Energy Limited (‘the Company’) as at March 31, 2011 and also the Profit and
Loss account and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 (as amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in
paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
i. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for
the purposes of our audit;
ii. In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our
examination of those books;
iii. The balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books
of account;
iv. In our opinion, the balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement dealt with by this report comply with the
accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956.
v. On the basis of the written representations received from the directors, as on March 31, 2011, and taken on record by the
Board of Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2011 from being appointed as a
director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956.
vi. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 4(c), Schedule P in the financial statements regarding non-
provision of proportionate premium on redemption of ‘US$ 479.04 million (Rs. 2,136.27 Crores as at March 31, 2011)
Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds amounting to Rs. 579.21 Crores which has been considered by the Company as a
contingent liability. Since the ultimate outcome of the matter cannot be presently ascertained, no provision for the above
liability that may result in future has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
vii. We draw attention to Note 3, Schedule P in the financial statement. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company has
recognised deferred tax asset aggregating approximately Rs 55.64 crores on tax losses of Suzlon Energy Limited. In our
opinion, the recognition of deferred tax asset aggregating approximately Rs 55.64 crores does not satisfy the conditions of
virtual certainty prescribed under Accounting Standard – 22, Accounting for Taxes on Income as notified by the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended). Had the above-mentioned deferred tax asset not been recognised, the
net loss for the year would have been higher and the deferred tax gain for the year in the profit and loss account would have
been lower by approximately Rs 55.64 crores. Accordingly, the deferred tax asset in the Balance Sheet has been overstated by
approximately Rs. 55.64 crores.

SCHEDULE - O : EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS [See Schedule P, Note 2]
Nature of operations
Suzlon Energy Limited ('SEL' or 'Suzlon' or the 'Company') is engaged in the manufacture of wind turbine generators ('WTGs') of various
capacities and its components.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on accrual basis of accounting except in case of
assets for which provision for impairment is made and revaluation is carried out to comply in all material respects, with the
mandatory accounting standards as notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as amended ('the Rules')
and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 ('the Act'). The accounting policies have been consistently applied
by the Company; and the accounting policies not referred to otherwise, are in conformity with Indian Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ('Indian GAAP').
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities
as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of incomes and expenses during the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Revenue comprises sale of WTGs and wind power systems; service income; interest; dividend and royalty. Revenue is
recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and that the revenue can be
reliably measured. Revenue is disclosed, net of discounts, excise duty, sales tax, service tax, VAT or other taxes, as applicable.
Sales
Sale of individual WTGs and wind power systems ("supply only projects") are recognised in the profit and loss account
provided that the significant risks and rewards in respect of ownership of goods have been transferred to the buyer as per
the terms of the respective sales order, and provided that the income can be measured reliably and is expected to be
received.
Fixed price contracts to deliver wind power systems (turnkey contracts and projects involving installation and/or
commissioning apart from supply) are recognised in revenue based on the stage of completion of the individual contract
using the percentage of completion method, provided the order outcome as well as expected total costs can be reliably
estimated. Where the profit from a contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is only recognised equalling the expenses
incurred to the extent that it is probable that the expenses will be recovered.
Due from customers, if any are measured the selling price of the work performed, based on the stage of completion less the
cost of the work already billed to the customer and expected losses. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion
that the contract expenses incurred to date bear to the estimated total contract expenses. The value of self-constructed
components is recognised in 'Contracts in progress' upon dispatch of the complete set of components which are specifically
identified for a customer and are within the scope of supply, as per the terms of the respective sale order for the wind power
systems. Where it is probable that total contract expenses will exceed total revenues from a contract, the expected loss is
recognised immediately as an expense in the profit and loss account.
Where the selling price of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, the selling price is measured based on the expenses
incurred to the extent that it is probable that these expenses will be recovered. Prepayments from customers are recognised
as liabilities. A contract in progress for which the selling price of the work performed exceeds interim billings and expected
losses is recognised as an asset. Contracts in progress for which interim billings and expected losses exceed the selling price
is recognised as a liability. Expenses relating to sales work and the winning of contracts are recognised in the profit and loss
account as incurred.
Revenues from operation and maintenance contracts are recognised pro-rata over the period of the contract as and when
services are rendered, net of taxes charged.
Revenue from services relating to project execution is recognised on completion of respective service, as per terms of
respective sales order.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate
applicable. In case of interest charged to customers, interest is accounted for on availability of documentary evidence that
the customer has accepted the liability.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Dividend from subsidiary
companies declared after the year end till the adoption of accounts by Board of Directors, is accounted during the year as
required by Schedule VI to the Act.
Royalty income
Royalty income is recognised on accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements.
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes purchase price
and all expenditure necessary to bring the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Own manufactured assets are
capitalised inclusive of all direct costs and attributable overheads. Capital work-in-progress comprises of advances paid to
acquire fixed assets and the cost of fixed assets that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the balance sheet date. In
the case of new undertaking, preoperative expenses are capitalised upon the commencement of commercial production.
Assets held for disposal are stated at the lower of net book value and the estimated net realisable value.
In respect of accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, exchange differences arising on reporting of
the long-term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those that at which they were initially recorded
during the period, or reported in the previous financial statements are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and
are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, if these monetary items pertain to the acquisition of a depreciable fixed
asset.
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for their acquisition. Cost of an internally generated asset
comprises all expenditure that can be directly attributed, or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis, to create,
produce and make the asset ready for its intended use.
The carrying amounts of the assets belonging to each cash generating unit ('CGU') are reviewed at each balance sheet date
to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amounts and where carrying amounts exceed the
recoverable amount of the asset’s CGU, assets are written down to their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the
greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and risks specific to the asset. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset
over its remaining useful life. The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting periods is reversed if there has been a
change in estimates of recoverable amount. The carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that
would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.
Depreciation is provided on the written down value method (‘WDV’) unless otherwise stated, pro-rata to the period of use
of assets and is based on management’s estimate of useful lives of the fixed assets or intangible assets or at rates specified in
schedule XIV to the Act, whichever is higher:
Depreciation
(f) Inventories
Inventories of raw materials including stores, spares and consumables; packing materials; work-in-progress; project work
in progress; semi-finished goods and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Cost
is determined on weighted average basis.
The cost of work-in-progress, semi-finished goods and finished goods includes the cost of material, labour and
manufacturing overheads.
Stock of land and land lease rights is valued at lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Cost is determined on
weighted average basis. Net realisable value is determined by management using technical estimates.
(g) Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current
investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost
and fair value, determined on an individual basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision is made to
recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of long-term investments.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the average exchange rate prevailing in the period during which the
transactions occur.
Outstanding balances of foreign currency monetary items are reported using the period end rates. Pursuant to the
notification of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules 2009 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs on
March 31, 2009 amending Accounting Standard – 11 (AS - 11) ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (revised
2003), exchange differences in respect of accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, relating to long
term monetary items are dealt with in the following manner:
(a) Exchange differences relating to long term foreign currency monetary items, arising during the year, in so far as they
relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added to/deducted from the cost of the asset and
depreciated/recovered over the balance life of the asset.
(b) In other cases, such differences are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference
Account" and amortised to the profit and loss account over the balance life of the long term monetary item but not
beyond March 31, 2011.
All other exchange differences are recognised as income or expense in the profit and loss account.
Non-monetary items carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate that existed, when the values were determined.
Exchange differences arising as a result of the above are recognised as income or expense in the profit and loss account.
Foreign currency transactions entered into by branches, which are integral foreign operations are accounted in the same
manner as foreign currency transactions described above. Branch monetary assets and liabilities are restated at the year
end rates.
Derivatives
In case of forward contracts, the difference between the forward rate and the exchange rate, being the premium or
discount, at the inception of a forward exchange contract is recognised as income/expense over the life of the contract.
Exchange differences on such contracts are recognised in the profit and loss account in the reporting period in which the
rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognised as income or as
expense for the period.
As per the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) announcement, derivative contracts, other than those
covered under AS-11, are marked to market on a portfolio basis and the net loss after considering the offsetting effect on the
underlying hedge items is charged to the profit and loss account. Net gains on marked to market basis are not recognised.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are
capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get
ready for intended use. Costs incurred in raising funds are amortised equally over the period for which the funds are
acquired. All other borrowing costs are charged to profit and loss account.
Defined contributions to provident fund and employee state insurance are charged to the profit and loss account of the year
when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable
to the respective statutory authorities.
Defined contributions to superannuation fund are charged to the profit and loss account on accrual basis.
Retirement benefits in the form of gratuity are considered as defined benefit obligations, and are provided for on the basis
of an actuarial valuation, using projected unit credit method, as at each balance sheet date.
Short-term compensated absences are provided based on estimates. Long term compensated absences and other long
term employee benefits are provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation, using projected unit credit method, as at
each balance sheet date.
Actuarial gains/losses are taken to profit and loss account and are not deferred.
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions
are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of notes to accounts unless the possibility of an outflow is remote. Contingent
assets are not recognised or disclosed.
Tax expense for a year comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid
to the tax authorities, after taking into consideration, the applicable deductions and exemptions admissible under the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred tax reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the
year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there
is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
realised. If there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses under tax laws, all deferred tax assets are recognised
only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax resulting from timing differences which originate during the tax holiday period but are expected to reverse
after such tax holiday period is recognised in the year in which the timing differences originate using the tax rates and laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
At each balance sheet date, the company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrealised deferred tax
assets to the extent it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient taxable income
will be available against which the deferred tax can be realised. Further the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each balance sheet date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent
that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available
Minimum alternative tax ('MAT') credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence
that the Company will pay income tax higher than that computed under MAT, during the period that MAT is permitted to be
set off under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (specified period). In the year, in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be
recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as
MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of
MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay income
tax higher than MAT during the specified period.
Assets acquired on lease where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are
classified as operating lease. Lease rentals are charged off to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Basic earnings/(loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the period attributable to equity
shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for any bonus shares issued during the year and also after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial
statements are approved by the board of directors.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus shares as appropriate. The dilutive
potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been issued at fair value. Dilutive potential
equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date.
Stock options granted to employees under the employees’ stock option scheme are accounted as per the intrinsic value
method permitted by the SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999
and the 'Guidance Note on Share Based Payments' issued by the ICAI. Accordingly, the excess of market price of the shares as
on the date of grant of options over the exercise price is recognised as deferred employee compensation and is charged to
profit and loss account on straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The number of options expected to vest is based on the best available estimate and are revised, if necessary, if subsequent
information indicates that the number of stock options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand, cheques on hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
2. Exceptional Items
The details of exceptional items aggregating to Rs 37.28 crore (Rs 439.02 crore) are as below:
(a) Loss on account of amortization of foreign exchange losses on all convertible bonds aggregating Rs Nil (Rs 162.34 crore) which
includes Rs Nil (Rs 120.06 crore) being losses on Phase I bonds and Phase II bonds cancelled due to buy back and exchange.
(b) (Gain)/loss on restructuring and refinancing of financial facilities aggregating Rs 37.28 crore (gain of Rs 248.76 crore)
pertaining primarily to net gains arising from the buy-back and exchange of Phase I and Phase II bonds after offsetting
various costs incurred in connection with the buy-back and exchange including consent fees, expenses of merchant bankers,
etc.
(c) Diminution, other than temporary, of the value of investments in certain subsidiaries aggregating Rs Nil crore (Rs 525.44
crore).
3. During the year the Company has recognised deferred tax asset of Rs 55.64 crore on its brought forward losses of Suzlon Energy
Limited. The Company believes that the recognition of deferred tax asset satisfies the conditions of virtual certainty prescribed
under Accounting Standard – 22, Accounting for Taxes on Income as notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006
(as amended).
On June 11, 2007 the Company made an issue of zero coupon convertible bonds aggregating USD 300 million (Rs 1,223.70
crore) [Phase I bonds]. Further, on October 10, 2007, the Company made an additional issue of zero coupon convertible
bonds aggregating USD 200 million (Rs 786.20 crore) [Phase II bonds] and on July 24, 2009, the company made an additional
issue of zero coupon convertible bonds aggregating USD 93.87 million (Rs 452.64 crore) at an issue price of 104.30% of the
principal amount of USD 90.00 million.
The key terms of these bonds at the time of issue were as follows:
i. During the year 2009-10 , the Company restructured Phase I and Phase II Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds with an
approval of the Reserve Bank of India ('RBI') wherein the bondholders were offered the following options as part of
the restructuring;
• Consent fee of USD15 Million to be paid across both the series, for those bondholders who consent to the
relaxation of covenants.
As a result of the restructuring, the outstanding position of the foreign currency convertible bonds is as follows:
* 19,000 bonds were converted into equity shares during the year 2009-10
ii. On April 29, 2010, the Company convened meetings of Bondholders of each of the series, who approved the
respective resolutions proposed to them. Accordingly post receipt of regulatory approvals, the Company changed
the conversion price of the Phase I bonds from Rs.359.68 per equity share to Rs.97.26 per equity share and for Phase
II bonds from Rs.371.55 to Rs.97.26 per equity share, subject to adjustments in accordance with terms and
conditions of the bonds. The floor price for Phase I and Phase II bonds has been revised to Rs.74.025 per equity share.
The fixed exchange rate was changed to 1USD=Rs 44.60 from 1USD=Rs 40.83 for Phase I bonds and 1USD=Rs 39.87
for Phase II bonds. The Company has incurred Rs.37.28 crore towards consent fee to bondholders and other cost and
disclosed under exceptional items for the year ended March 31, 2011.
The Phase I, Phase II, Phase I New, Phase II New, and Phase III bonds are redeemable subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions mentioned in the offering circular and hence have been designated as monetary liability.
The Company has not provided for the proportionate premium on these bonds aggregating Rs 579.21 crore (Rs 377.22
crore) as shown below:
In the opinion of the management, the likelihood of redemption of these bonds cannot presently be ascertained.
Accordingly no provision for any liability has been made in the financial statements and hence the proportionate premium
has been shown as a contingent liability. The Company has adequate securities premium to absorb the proportionate
premium on redemption as at March 31,2011.

(a) On July 12, 2010, the Company raised Rs 1,188.39 crore pursuant to a Rights Issue. The Company allotted 188,633,322
equity shares of Rs 2 each at a premium of Rs 61 per equity share on a rights basis to the existing equity shareholders of the
Company in the ratio of 2 equity shares for every 15 fully paid-up equity shares held by the existing equity shareholders on
the record date. The primary objective of the rights issue was to discharge certain existing loans availed by the Company
from its promoters. Consequently, loans of Rs 1,175.00 crore along with accrued interest of Rs 12.38 crore were discharged
by conversion into equity shares of the Company.
(b) On receipt of shareholders’ approval by way of Postal Ballot, on November 16, 2010, the Company issued and allotted
31,992,582 equity shares of Rs 2 each at a price of Rs 60 per share on preferential basis to ‘IDFC Trustee Company Ltd. A/c
IDFC Infrastructure Fund 3 A/c IDFC Private Equity Fund III’ (IDFC PE) as a consideration for acquisition of 41,254,125 equity
shares of Rs 10 each in SE Forge Limited (SEFL), a subsidiary of the Company. Consequent to acquisition of IDFC PE’s stake in
SEFL, SEFL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
(c) On April 12, 2011, the Company has made an issue of 5% Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds due 2016 for a total amount of
USD 175.00 million (Rs.776.83 crores). The initial conversion price is set at Rs.54.01 per share and the same is subject to
adjustments in certain circumstances.
(d) Net foreign exchange gains aggregating Rs 136.90 crore (gain Rs 62.88 crore) on long term foreign currency monetary items
have been adjusted in the foreign currency monetary item translation difference account during the year. Further, foreign
exchange gains aggregating Rs 3.50 crore (Rs 202.99 crore) have been amortised during the year.
(f) Expenditure amounting to Rs 2.89 crore (Rs 1.42 crore) and Rs 1.58 crore (Rs 1.56 crore) pertaining to employee
remuneration and benefits; and operating and other expenditure respectively, being expenditure incurred in connection
with the construction of certain self manufactured assets have been deducted from the respective expenditure heads and
have been capitalised under appropriate asset heads.
(g) The Company incurs expenditure on development of infrastructure facilities for power evacuation arrangements as per
authorization of the state electricity boards (SEB)/nodal agencies. In certain cases the expenditure is reimbursed, on agreed
terms, by the SEB/nodal agencies and in certain other cases the Company recovers it from the customers. Where the
expenditure is reimbursed by the SEB/nodal agency, the cost incurred is reduced by the reimbursements received and the
net amount is charged to profit and loss account. Where an arrangement is entered into with customers for power
evacuation charges, the proportionate direct cost computed on per mega watt basis is netted off from the amount charged
to customers and the net deficit/(surplus) is charged / credited to profit and loss account. The deficit/surplus from
infrastructure development across all SEBs / nodal agencies is shown under "infrastructure development expenses" or
"other income" as the case may be. Indirect expenses not directly relatable to power evacuation are charged to the
respective account heads in profit and loss account.

operating leases during the period was Rs 8.65 crore (Rs 11.74 crore). The Company has also taken furnished/unfurnished
offices and certain other premises under non-cancellable operating lease agreement. The lease rental charge during the
year is Rs 1.27 crore (Rs 8.15 crore) and maximum obligations on long–term non-cancellable operating lease payable as per
the rentals stated in respective agreement are as follows:
(b) WTG's
The Company has taken WTGs on non-cancellable operating lease, chargeable on per unit basis of net electricity generated

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation are as follows:
* The contribution made by the employer during the year was Rs 3.11 crore (Rs 2.01 crore) of which Rs 2.95 crore (Rs 2.01 crore) was
paid towards approved fund and Rs 0.16 crore (Nil) was towards OYRGTA premium. The actual return on plan assets during the year
was Rs 0.84 crore (Rs 0.61 crore).

The principal assumptions used in determining defined benefit obligation are shown below:
The estimated future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account the effect of inflation, seniority,
promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. The overall expected rate of return
on plan assets is determined based on the market prices prevailing as on balance sheet date, applicable to the period over which
the obligation is to be settled.
14. Provisions
In pursuance of Accounting Standard-29 (AS-29) ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets’, the provisions required
have been incorporated in the books of account in the following manner:
The provision for performance guarantee ('PG') represents the expected outflow of resources against claims for performance
shortfall expected in future over the life of the guarantee assured. The period of performance guarantee varies for each customer
according to the terms of contract. The key assumptions in arriving at the performance guarantee provisions are wind velocity,
plant load factor, grid availability, load shedding, historical data, wind variation factor etc.

Corporation
1. We SNK & Co. and S. R. Batliboi & Co. have audited the attached consolidated balance sheet of Suzlon Energy Limited (‘SEL’ or
the ‘Company’) and its subsidiaries as described in Schedule P, Note II (1), its associate as described in Schedule P, Note II (3)
and joint venture as described in Schedule P, Note II (2) (together referred to as the ‘Group’) as at March 31, 2011, and also the
consolidated profit and loss account and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto
(“Consolidated Financial Statements”). These Consolidated Financial Statements are the responsibility of SEL’s management and
have been prepared by management on the basis of separate financial statements and other financial information regarding
components. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
3. a) We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose audited financial statements, reflect Group’s
share of total assets of Rs. 946.27 crores as at March 31, 2011, Group’s share of total revenues of Rs. 1,857.69 crores
and Group’s share of total cash flows of Rs. (16.04) crores for the year then ended. These financial statements and other
financial information have been audited solely by SNK & Co. on which, S. R. Batliboi & Co. has placed reliance for the
purpose of this report.
b) We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose audited financial statements, reflect Group’s
share of total assets of Rs. 1,188.73 crores as at March 31, 2011, Group’s share of total revenues of Rs. 996.83 crores
and Group’s share of total cash flows of Rs. 10.71 crores for the year then ended. These financial statements and other
financial information have been audited solely by S. R. Batliboi & Co. on which, SNK & Co. has placed reliance for the
purpose of this report.
c) We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose audited financial statements, reflect Group’s
share of total assets of Rs. 464.30 crores as at March 31, 2011, Group’s share of the total revenue of Rs. 226.01 crores
and Group’s share of total cash flows amounting to Rs. 6.92 crores for the year then ended. These financial statements
and other financial information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our
opinion is based solely on the report of other auditors.
d) We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect Group’s share of total
assets of Rs 37,746.78 crores as at March 31, 2011, Group’s share of total revenues of Rs 10,842.24 crore and Group’s
share of total cash flows amounting to Rs 449.75 crores for the period then ended. These financial statements have been
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by Management, and our opinion is based solely on the
reports of the other auditors. These other auditors are member firms of Ernst & Young Global in the relevant countries.
4. We did not audit the financial statements of an associate, whose financial statements reflect Group’s share of loss of Rs 27.83
crores for the year then ended. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us by Management, and our opinion is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. These other auditors are
member firms of Ernst & Young Global in the relevant countries.
5. We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose financial statements, reflect Group’s share of total assets
of Rs. 326.22 crores as at March 31, 2011, Group’s share of total revenues of Rs. 340.96 crores and Group’s share of total cash
flows amounting to Rs. 8.40 crores for the year then ended. These financial statements and other financial information have been
certified by management and our opinion is based solely on these management certified accounts.
6. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Schedule P, Note 7(c) regarding non-provision of proportionate premium on
redemption of US$ 479.04 Million (Rs. 2,136 crores as at March 31, 2011) Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds amounting to Rs.
579.21 crores which has been considered by the Group as a contingent liability. Since the ultimate outcome of the matter cannot
be presently ascertained, no provision for the above liability that may result in future, has been made in the accompanying
financial statements.
7. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Schedule P, Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements. The Indian
Wind Energy Association (‘InWEA) of which the Company is a member has filed a civil appeal in the Supreme Court against
an order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity in regard to levy of Infrastructure Development Charges by Tamil Nadu State
Electricity Board. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be presently ascertained due to it being highly technical and
legalistic in nature. The Group has obtained a legal opinion which states that the InWEA/Group has a strong case and we have
placed reliance on this opinion.
8. We draw attention to Note 5, Schedule P of the consolidated financial statements. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the
Company has recognised deferred tax asset aggregating approximately Rs 55.64 crores on tax losses of Suzlon Energy Limited.
In our opinion, the recognition of deferred tax asset aggregating approximately Rs 55.64 crores does not satisfy the conditions
of virtual certainty prescribed under Accounting Standard – 22, Accounting for Taxes on Income as notified by the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended). Had the above-mentioned deferred tax asset not been recognised, the net
loss for the year would have been higher and the deferred tax for the year debited in the profit and loss account would have
been higher by approximately Rs 55.64 crores. Accordingly, the deferred tax asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet has been
overstated by approximately Rs. 55.64 crores.
10. Based on our audit and on consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial
information of the components, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, we are of the
opinion that subject to para 8 above, the attached consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
a) in the case of the consolidated balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2011;
b) in the case of the consolidated profit and loss account, of the loss for the year ended on that date; and
c) in the case of the consolidated cash flow statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
The schedules referred to above and the notes to accounts form an integral part of the consolidated balance sheet.

The details of exceptional items aggregating to loss of Rs 253.28 crore (gain of Rs 211.89 crore) are as below:
a) On July 25, 2011, AE-Rotor Holding B.V. (‘AERH’), a step-down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has signed an
irrevocable undertaking, subject to terms and conditions therein, to accept the offer to be made by ZF International BV,
a wholly owned subsidiary of ZF Friedrichshfen AG to sell its 26.06% equity stake in Hansen Transmissions International
NV (‘Hansen’). Accordingly, the Company has made provision for diminution of Rs. 216.00 crore (Rs. Nil) in the value of
investment based on the estimated net realizable value of the investment.
b) Expenses incurred on restructuring and refinancing of financial facilities including consent fees and expenses of merchant

Limited. The Company believes that the recognition of deferred tax asset satisfies the conditions of virtual certainty prescribed
under Accounting Standard – 22, Accounting for Taxes on Income as notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules,
2006 (as amended).
6. The Tamil Nadu State Electricity Board (‘TNEB’) through a circular has been charging Infrastructure Development Charges (‘IDC’)
to Wind Energy Developers towards recovery of cost by TNEB towards infrastructure facilities provided to the wind energy
generators to evacuate their power till the state grid. After the enactment of the Electricity Act, 2003 Indian Wind Energy
Association (‘InWEA’) approached the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (‘State Commission’) challenging the legality
of the IDC levied by TNEB. The State Commission ruled in favour of the InWEA and by order dated September 9, 2008 ruled that
TNEB has no jurisdiction to issue such a circular imposing IDC and that charging IDC is in contravention of section 32(3) of the
Act especially when TNEB had not approached the State Commission for levy of IDC. TNEB appealed against this order of the
State Commission to the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (‘Tribunal’). The Tribunal ruled in favour of TNEB vide its order dated
January 8, 2010. The InWEA filed a Civil Appeal against the order of the Tribunal in the Supreme Court and the matter is pending
the hearing of the Supreme Court. The Company has obtained a legal opinion which states that InWEA (and consequently the
Company) has a strong case. The amount under dispute as at March 31, 2011 aggregates to Rs 64.80 crore (Rs 59.65 crore).

The Company had shown a gradual and consistent increase in profits till financial year 2007-08. The profitability
declined in the financial year 2008-09. During the financial year 2009-10 the Company incurred losses, mainly
attributable to following reasons:
• The then prevailing uncertain economic environment adversely impacted business volumes, delay in timely
realization of receivables from the customers. Implementation delays encountered in debt consolidation
and refinancing arrangements further constrained the liquidity situation.
• The Company incurred cash losses during the financial year 2009-10, which was mainly attributable to the
difficult global economic environment that adversely impacted business volume and product pricing. Adverse
foreign exchange movement, lower absorption of fixed overheads and higher finance charges, primarily due
to delayed collections from customers, and cost of debt consolidation and refinancing arrangement also
hampered the Company’s profitability.
Over the past few years, the Company has taken various initiatives as under to de-lever its balance sheet and
solidify a long-term sustainable capital structure:
• The repayment of the Acquisition Loans and replacing the same with Five-year USD 465 million loan with a
two-year moratorium on repayments of principal as well as a two-year holiday on debt covenants
• Consolidation and refinancing of its existing Rupee denominated term loans and working capital loans
through new debt facilities from a syndicate of banks.
• Part disinvestment and intention to dispose off balance investments in Hansen Transmissions International
NV, Belgium
• The Company has successfully reached the threshold of 95% holding limit in REpower System SE, Germany,
a renowned WTGs manufacturer worldwide and particularly in matured and respected European markets
and has initiated squeeze-out proceedings. This will give the impetus to the operations of the Company by
way of synergies.
Also there is a strong revival in Indian wind market. New policy initiatives support long-term growth of the
Company. Also the Company has orders from PSUs and large corporates including repeat orders.
Considering various analysis carried out by the Company based on the data made available by Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy, Government of India and other international agencies related to wind energy/non-conventional

In light of above, you are requested to accord your approval to the Special Resolution as set out at Agenda Item No.9 of the
accompanying Notice for appointment of Mr. Vinod R.Tanti as the Wholetime Director on revised terms and conditions.
The copy of the draft agreement to be entered into between the Company and Mr. Vinod R.Tanti, Wholetime Director is available
for inspection at the Registered Office of the Company on all working days during business hours till the date of the Annual
General Meeting of the Company.
Mr. Vinod R.Tanti, himself, Mr. Tulsi R.Tanti, Managing Director and Mr. Girish R.Tanti, the Director may be deemed to be
concerned or interested in the resolution appointing Mr. Vinod R.Tanti as Wholetime Director.
The resolution contained in the business of the Notice relates to a proposal by the Company to create, offer, issue and allot
equity shares, GDRs, ADRs, FCCBs, SPNs, FCDs, NCDs with warrants and/or such other securities convertible into or linked to
Equity Shares and/or any other instruments and/or combination of instruments as stated in the resolution (the “Securities”).
The Company intends to issue Securities for a value of up to Rs.5,000 Crores.
The Special Resolution also seeks to empower the Board of Directors to undertake a qualified institutional placement with
qualified institutional buyers as defined by SEBI ICDR Regulations. The Board of Directors may at its discretion adopt this
mechanism as prescribed under Chapter VIII of the SEBI ICDR Regulations for raising the funds for the expansion plans of the
Company, without the need for fresh approval from the shareholders.
In view of the expanding operations of the Company, the Company intends to capitalise on its potential. Thus it is proposed
to create, offer, issue and allot equity shares, GDRs, ADRs, FCCBs, SPNs, FCDs, NCDs with warrants and/or such other
securities convertible into or linked to Equity Shares and/or any other instruments and/or combination of instruments to
the extent of Rs.5,000 Crores in one or another manner and in one or more tranches. Such further issue of such securities
would provide a platform to the Company to meet to its fund requirements and improve the financial leveraging strength
of the Company.
Similar resolution was passed by the Shareholders on November 16, 2010 by way of postal ballot. The Company has since
thereafter issued US$ 175,000,000 Convertible Bonds due 2016. Since the market conditions have changed from the last
approval as also to meet to various regulatory requirements and as a matter of prudent practice, an additional / fresh resolution
is proposed to be passed to create, offer, issue and allot equity shares, GDRs, ADRs, FCCBs, SPNs, FCDs, NCDs with warrants
and/or such other securities convertible into or linked to Equity Shares and/or any other instruments and/or combination of
instruments to the extent of Rs.5,000 Crores in one or another manner and in one or more tranches.
The detailed terms and conditions for the offer will be determined in consultation with the Advisors, Lead Managers, Underwriters
and such other authority or authorities as may be required to be consulted by the Company considering the prevailing market
The pricing of the international issue(s), if any, will be free market pricing and may be at a premium or discount to the market price
in accordance with international practices, subject to applicable Indian laws and guidelines. The same would be the case if the Board
of Directors decide to undertake a qualified institutional placement under Chapter VIII of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. As the pricing
of the offering cannot be decided except at a later stage, it is not possible to state the price or the exact number of Securities or
shares to be issued. For reasons aforesaid, an enabling resolution is therefore proposed to be passed to give adequate flexibility
and discretion to the Board to finalise the terms of the issue. The Securities issued pursuant to the offering(s) would be listed on the
Indian stock exchanges and/or internationally recognised stock exchange(s) and may be represented by Securities or other Financial
Instruments outside India.
The Special Resolution seeks to give the Board the powers to issue Securities in one or more tranche or tranches, at such time or
times, at such price or prices and to such person(s) including institutions, incorporated bodies and/or individuals or otherwise as the
Board may in its absolute discretion deem fit.
The consent of the shareholders is being sought pursuant to the provisions of Section 81(1A) and other applicable provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 and in terms of the provisions of the Listing Agreement executed by the Company with the Stock Exchanges
where the Equity Shares of the Company are listed.
Section 81(1A) of the Companies Act, 1956 and the relevant clause of the Listing Agreement with the Stock Exchanges where the
Equity Shares of the Company are listed provides, inter alia, that when it is proposed to increase the issued capital of a company by
allotment of further shares, such further shares shall be offered to the existing shareholders of such company in the manner laid
down in Section 81 unless the shareholders in a general meeting decide otherwise. Since the Special Resolution proposed in the
business of the Notice results in the issue of shares of the Company otherwise than to the members of the Company, consent of
the shareholders is being sought pursuant to the provisions of Section 81(1A) and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act,
1956 and the Listing Agreement.
The Special Resolution, if passed, will have the effect of allowing the Board of Directors to issue and allot Securities to the investors
who may or may not be the existing shareholders of the Company.
The Board of Directors believes that the issue of Securities is in the interest of the Company and therefore recommends the special
resolution as set out at Agenda Item no.10 of the accompanying Notice for your approval.
None of the Directors of the Company is in any way concerned or interested in the said resolution.
