(Chapter 289) of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the “SFA”) and the Securities and

Company has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1) of the SFA),
that the Notes are “prescribed capital markets products” (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded

8. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the
“PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in

within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any

customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (“UK MiFIR”). Consequently, no key
information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA

down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (Ind AS 34) issued by Institute Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and subjected to a
limited review by Dharmesh Parikh & Co LLP in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410
“Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” (“SRE 2410”)
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). In connection with preparing the Unaudited
Proforma Combined Consolidated Financial Information, Dharmesh Parikh & Co LLP has also reviewed the
unaudited special purpose condensed consolidated financial information of SB Energy Holdings Limited as at
and for the year ended March 31, 2021, and as at and for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 (the
“Unaudited SB Energy Special Purpose Condensed Consolidated Financial Information”), which are
included elsewhere in this Offering Circular, in accordance with SRE 2400 issued by the ICAI. Ind AS differs in
certain significant respects from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, accordingly, the degree to which the financial
statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS included in this Offering Circular will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s familiarity with the accounting policies. For further details in
relation to the impact of Ind AS on the preparation and presentation of our financial statements, see “Description
of Certain Differences between Ind AS and IFRS”. For details regarding the accounting firm that has audited the
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Audited Standalone Financial Statements and reviewed the
Unaudited Special Purpose Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Information, the Unaudited Proforma
Combined Consolidated Financial Information and the Unaudited Special Purpose Condensed Interim Standalone
Financial Information, see “Independent Accountants”.
Our Company does not provide a reconciliation of its financial statements to IFRS or U.S. GAAP financial
statements. For further details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Financial Statements — Significant
differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as IFRS, with which prospective investors
may be familiar.”.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP and non-Ind AS financial measure. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a
supplemental measure of our performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with Ind AS and
should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of performance prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be
unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
vii
10. We define Adjusted EBITDA as loss/profit plus (a) finance cost, (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) tax
expenses, less (i) other income and (ii) viability gap funding as per books, plus (d) foreign exchange fluctuation
and Derivative (gain)/loss from non-financing activities and (e) viability gap funding actually received. We
believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:
‰ securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance
and debt service capabilities; and
‰ it is used by our management for internal reporting and planning purposes, including aspects of our
consolidated operating budget and capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of our results as reported under Ind AS. Some of these limitations include:
‰ it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments or foreign exchange gain/loss;
‰ it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital;
‰ it does not reflect significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or
principal payments on our outstanding debt; it does not reflect payments made or future requirements for
income taxes; and
‰ although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized
will often have to be replaced or paid in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash
requirements for such replacements or payments.
Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental
analysis.
This Offering Circular contains projections relating to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (“EBITDA”). Management is solely responsible for the projections of capacity, net debt, and
EBITDA of the Group entities for the years indicated in the Offering Circular. Neither AGEL, our independent
accountants, nor advisers can give any assurance that these assumptions are correct or that these projections and
estimates will reflect actual results of operations. Therefore, no representations are made or intended to be made,
nor should any be inferred, with respect to the likely existence of a particular future set of facts or circumstances.
We also caution that such information has not be audited or reviewed by our independent accountants. If actual
results are materially less favorable than those shown in this Offering Circular or if the assumptions used in
formulating these projections and estimates prove to be incorrect, the Issuer’s ability to make payments of
principal of and interest on the Notes may be materially adversely affected.
Adjusted EBITDA described in this Offering Circular is not a substitute for Ind AS measures of earnings and
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way
these measures are calculated. We have presented this supplemental financial measure because we believe this
measure is frequently used by securities analysts and investors in evaluating similar issuers. This data is not
necessarily indicative of, and should not be used as the basis for, or prediction of, future results. Investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on this supplemental financial measure. For a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to profit for the year/period before non-controlling interests, please see “Summary of Consolidated
viii
11. Financial Information”. This non-GAAP measure should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Furthermore, EBITDA as defined above is different from the
definitions of “Run-Rate EBITDA” for purposes of the Common Terms Deed. See “Appendix — Glossary of
Defined Terms”.
In this Offering Circular, certain amounts have been rounded; accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain
tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede them.
Any reference in this Offering Circular to any law, regulation or notification is a reference to such law, regulation
or notification as the same may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or replaced.
The information on our Company’s websites, the websites of any of its Subsidiaries, any website referred to
herein or any website directly or indirectly linked to such websites, is not incorporated by reference into this
Offering Circular and should not be relied upon.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
Information regarding market position, growth rates and other industry data pertaining to our businesses
contained in this Offering Circular consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by professional
organizations and analysts, data from other external sources and our knowledge of the markets in which we
compete. The statistical information included in this Offering Circular relating to the industries in which we
operate has been reproduced from various trade, industry and government publications and websites including:
‰ World Bank Group;
‰ International Renewable Energy Agency;
‰ Central Electricity Regulatory Commission of India;
‰ CRISIL Limited (“CRISIL”); and
‰ Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of India (“MNRE”).
This data is subject to change and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and
reliability of the raw data and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. In many cases,
there is no readily available external information (whether from trade or industry associations, government
bodies or other organizations) to validate market-related analyses and estimates, so we rely on internally
developed estimates. While we have compiled, extracted and reproduced this data from external sources,
including third parties, trade, industry or general publications, we accept responsibility for accurately
reproducing such data. However, neither we nor the Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners, the Note

representatives, agents, affiliates or advisers, have independently verified this data and neither we nor the Joint
Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners, the Note Trustee or the Agents or any person who controls them, or
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates or advisers, make any
representation regarding the accuracy of such data. Similarly, while we believe our internal estimates to be
reasonable, such estimates have not been verified by any independent sources and neither we nor the Joint Global
Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners, the Note Trustee or the Agents or any person who controls them, or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates or advisers, can assure potential
investors as to their accuracy. Internal and third-party estimates and projections cited in this Offering Circular are
subject to significant uncertainties that could cause actual data to differ materially from the estimated or
projected figures. No assurances are or can be given that these figures will be achieved. As a result, you are
cautioned against undue reliance on such information. The extent to which the market and industry data
contained in this Offering Circular is meaningful depends on the investor’s familiarity with an understanding of
the methodologies used in compiling such data.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Our Company is a limited liability public company incorporated under the laws of India. Save for Mr. Jose
Ignacio Sanz Saiz, who is a Nominee and Non-Executive Director, all of our directors and executive officers
named herein are residents of India and all or a substantial portion of our assets and such persons’ assets are
located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process on our Company or
such persons in jurisdictions outside of India, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in courts outside of
India predicated upon civil liabilities of our Company or such directors and executive officers under laws other
than Indian laws, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws
of the United States.
In addition, India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign
judgments. We understand that the statutory basis for recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is
provided for under section 13 and section 44A of the Indian Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (the “Civil Code”).
Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that, where a foreign judgment has been rendered by a superior court in
any country or territory outside India which the GoI has by notification declared to be a reciprocating territory, it
may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by the relevant court
in India. A superior court with reference to any such territory would mean such courts as are specified in the
aforesaid notification. Pursuant to GoI notifications, the High Courts in England are also included in the list of
relevant superior courts. Accordingly, a judgment of a superior court in the United Kingdom may be enforceable
by proceedings in execution, and a judgment not of a superior court, by a fresh suit resulting in a judgment or
order.
Under the Civil Code, a court in India will, upon the production of any document purporting to be a certified
copy of a foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction,
unless the contrary appears on record but such presumption may be displaced by proving want of jurisdiction.
However, section 44A of the Civil Code is applicable only to monetary decrees other than those being in the
nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other
penalty and is not applicable to arbitration awards, even if such awards are enforceable as a decree or judgment.
While each of the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates, among others, has
been declared by the GoI to be a reciprocating territory for the purposes of section 44A of the Civil Code, the
United States has not been declared by the GoI to be a reciprocating territory for the purposes of section 44A. A
xiv
17. judgment of a court in a jurisdiction which is not a reciprocating territory, including that of a court in the United
States, may be enforced only by a new suit upon the judgment and not by proceedings in execution. Section 13 of
the Civil Code provides that a foreign judgment to which this section applies shall be conclusive as to any matter
thereby directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or between parties under whom they or any of the
claim litigating under the same title, except: (i) where it has not been pronounced by a court of competent
jurisdiction; (ii) where it has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it appears on the face of the
proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in
cases where such law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were
opposed to natural justice; (v) where it has been obtained by fraud; or (vi) where it sustains a claim founded on a
breach of any law in force in India. A foreign judgment which is conclusive under Section 13 of the Civil Code
may be enforced either by a fresh suit upon the judgment or by proceedings in execution. Under Section 14 of the
Civil Code, a court in India shall, upon the production of any document purporting to be a certified copy of a
foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction unless the
contrary appears on record and such presumption may be displaced by proving, want of jurisdiction. The suit
must be brought in India within three years from the date of the judgment in the same manner as any other suit
filed to enforce a civil liability in India. It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same
basis as a foreign court if an action were brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would
enforce a foreign judgment if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with public
policy in India.
A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI under the
Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, to execute such
a judgment and repatriate outside India any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of such foreign
judgment. Any judgment in a foreign currency would be converted into Rupees on the date of the judgment and
not on the date of the payment.
We would not be entitled to immunity based on sovereignty from any legal proceedings in India.

23. SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular and does not contain all of
the information that you should consider before investing in the Notes. You should read this entire document,
including “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Offering
Circular, before making an investment decision. This Offering Circular includes forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.
Business Overview
We are an independent power producer in India, led by a strong and focused management team with experience
in identifying, developing and operating solar and wind power generation assets across India. We are one of the
largest renewable energy players in India. In addition, we are the top solar developer in the world by total
capacity, according to Mercom Capital Group, llc’s report titled “Leading Global Large-Scale Solar PV
Developers” dated August 2020. We develop, build, own, operate and maintain a portfolio of solar power
projects and wind farm projects that are large in size, operational and diversified across 11 states and 59 locations
in India. We have grown our portfolio of assets from seven assets and an operational capacity of 748 MW as of
March 31, 2017 to one comprising 74 operational utility scale solar power projects, wind power projects and
hybrid projects (which produce both solar and wind energy) with 3,520 MW of total commissioned capacity as of
June 30, 2021. We continue to explore ways to grow our portfolio organically and inorganically. We are in the
process of acquiring SB Energy Holdings Limited (the “SB Acquisition”), which will increase our total
commissioned capacity to 5,220 MW, and three projects from a member of the Inox group (the “Inox
Acquisition”), which will further increase our total commissioned capacity to 5,370 MW. Following the
completion of the SB Acquisition and the Inox Acquisition and taking into account under construction projects,
we will have a renewable project portfolio of 19,794 MW. We expect to complete the SB Acquisition by
September 2021, and the Inox Acquisition in due course. With our focus on continued growth, we aim to achieve
an installed capacity of 25 GW by 2025.
We sell solar and wind power on long-term fixed-price PPAs to central government agencies and state
DISCOMs. Approximately 83.7% of our generation capacity (including operational projects and projects under
construction, and excluding projects to be acquired under the Inox Acquisition and SB Acquisition) is subject to
long-term PPAs with sovereign/sovereign equivalent counterparties, with the remaining 16.3% of capacity being
subject to long-term PPAs with state DISCOMs or sold to private parties. Following completion of the Inox
Acquisition and SB Acquisition, approximately 87.4% of generation capacity will be subject to long-term PPAs
with sovereign/sovereign equivalent counterparties, with the remaining 12.6% of capacity being subject to long-
term PPAs with state DISCOMs and sold to private parties. Our long-term PPA arrangements ensure a
predictable and stable cash flow. Our in-house engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) expertise
enables us to deliver committed plant performance at industry-leading benchmark costs, and further allows us to
retain the profit margins associated with those services that other project developers may need to pay to third-
party providers.
We were listed on the BSE and the NSE on June 18, 2018 and have a market capitalization of
U.S.$23,514,658,561.21 as of June 30, 2021. In January 2021, TotalEnergies Renewables SAS (formerly known
as Total Renewables SAS) (“Total Renewables”) acquired a 20% minority interest in AGEL, and currently has
board and audit committee representation in AGEL. In April 2020, Total Solar Singapore Pte Ltd (“Total
Solar”) acquired a 50% stake in Adani Green Energy Twenty Three Limited (“AGE23L”). Total Renewables
and Total Solar are part of an established conglomerate, TotalEnergies SE (“TotalEnergies”) that operates
6
24. renewable energy projects all over the world. The group has a huge focus on adding to its renewable energy
footprint, and has set a target of adding 35 GW renewable capacity to its portfolio by 2025. In order to achieve
this, the group places strong focus on the research and development of renewable energy technology to reduce
the cost of energy produced and facilitate grid adoption, and its supply chain management. With an alignment in
their goals, the Group and TotalEnergies have formed a strategic alliance across renewables, city gas distribution
and liquefied natural gas terminals. We believe that the alliance provides a framework for the exchange of ideas
and best practices between AGEL’s and TotalEnergeis’ teams in micro-plant O&M and development, facilitates
their joint formulation of best practices of governance, and development of new technologies of the future, like
hydrogen. Our Promoter Group is an established energy and infrastructure conglomerate in India. Our Company
was established to extend the Adani Group’s returns-focused growth strategy into the renewable energy industry.
We commenced our renewable energy operations in 2015 and have since expanded our renewable power
portfolio to include wind power assets and utility scale solar power assets across 11 states in India. We are
focused on long-term value creation and aim to deliver reliable power from renewable energy sources at the
lowest cost available, taking into account our cost of capital.
We are currently operating in the growing Indian energy market, where we are well-positioned to benefit from
positive market trends. India’s economic growth is intrinsically linked to the increasing consumption of energy
and natural resources. Energy demand has outpaced capacity additions in recent years, which has resulted in
persistent peak power deficits in the country. In addition, the GoI has made it a priority to provide electricity to
the households in rural areas that are without service. Renewable power is an attractive option to help address
this energy gap and is supported by regulatory measures of the GoI. Renewable power is a cleaner, faster-to-build
and more cost-effective alternative energy solution as compared to coal and diesel-based power. The GoI has set
a target of achieving 227 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022.
Indian aggregate national installed solar capacity reached 42.3 GW as of June 30, 2021 with a target to achieve
227 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022 and 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 set by the GoI.
We contributed approximately 7.15% of the national installed solar capacity as of June 30, 2021.
