Shri O. P. Jindal August 7, 1930 – March 31, 2005 O. P. Jindal Group – Founder and Visionary
Only a life lived for others is a life lived worthwhile An industrialist par excellence under whose aegis the O. P. Jindal Group grew from strength to strength. But for the world at large Late Shri O. P. Jindal was much more than that. He was also a leader of masses, some one who would often champion the cause of the poor and downtrodden. He was not just a celebrated politician, but also a great humanitarian and an avant-garde visionary. His life both as an industrialist and as social worker left an indelible mark on this nation. And for us at O. P. Jindal group, his life gives us inspiration to touch new heights.

With projections of GDP growth rate of Indian Economy in excess of 8 % in coming years, Power industry is required to grow at a corresponding rate to sustain this GDP growth targets. Consistent increase in power demand combined with dull overall performance seen in capacity addition during previous years has put strain on Indian Power Infrastructure and peak demand and energy deficits have continued to remain high at 13.3 % and 10.1 % respectively for year 2009-10. The Generation capacity additions projections lead us to realize that it will not be possible to add more than 6000065000 MW of Generation capacity against planned capacity of 78600 MW during 11th plan period. This may further widen the existing gap between supply and demand of energy. Indian Power sector looks very promising with great opportunities for future growth in all the areas of power sector including Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Mining and Equipment manufacturing, etc. However, there are certain challenges like fuel supply & security, grant of open access over Transmission network, environment concerns, project financing, financial health of power procurers etc., which needs to be dealt appropriately for achieving desired progress. With the enhancement in generation capacity, there is need to augment the transmission and distribution infrastructure to pave way for

improved efficiency through reduced losses, strengthening of grid corridors and enhancement in networks. The Government is actively engaged in addressing these concerns through various initiatives and we believe privatization or deregulation in distribution sector will provide the required impetus and accelerate the process. We have drawn a blue print for capitalizing the opportunities as also to mitigate the challenges to realize our vision of 11,390 MW of Generation capacity by year 2015. As part of our plans to enhance capacity, we have initiated work on power projects at Chattisgarh – 1320 MW and West Bengal
development. We firmly believe that people will judge us just not only on the basis of profitability and growth figures but also on our commitment to environment and social responsibility. In line with our commitment, we have decided to evaluate feasibility of setting up power projects based on “Supercritical technology” for all our future Generation projects, which leads to consumption of less coal and consequently reduced carbon foot print. As part of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, programmes for the people welfare including education, health and local infrastructure improvement have been integrated

with project development activities at all our ongoing and upcoming sites.
Fuel availability and fuel price are amongst the major challenges faced by the sector. We are focused to enhance the fuel security for imported coal based projects. Though we have tied up certain portion of our requirement through long term contracts and by acquisition of coal mine in South Africa, we continue to evaluate various strategies to secure complete fuel security. We are exploring opportunities to acquire mines across the globe which will enable us to build a sustainable model, besides providing power at reasonable tariff.
We have always believed that power is going to fuel the socioeconomic growth of India as it marches towards becoming a global superpower. Therefore, providing adequate, reliable and affordable power to empower industry and people of India is a challenge for all players in Power Business. Your Company is committed to playing a pivotal role in this.
Human resource is an important pillar in the creation of any successful and lasting foundation of an organization and is extremely critical for our Company which is amongst the fastest growing power companies in the sector. In order to cultivate a pool of trained and skilled human resource to meet with our growth aspirations, we have laid emphasis on skill enhancement for which JSW Energy Centre of Excellence has been set up at Vijayanagar, duly accredited by Central Electricity Authority, to train personnel on simulators. On the road to growth and expansion, your Company is also conscious about its responsibility towards environment and social

Message from Vice Chairman’s desk
Mr. N. K. Jain, Vice Chairman
Dear Shareholders, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the JSW Energy family. JSW Energy Limited has over the years transformed itself from a single location power generation Company to a full service integrated energy business with a pan-India presence by seizing the opportunity provided by the power sector pursuant to the reforms under the Electricity Act, 2003. We have grown our power generation capacity from 260 MW in year 2000 to 995 MW in year 2010. By the year 2011, our target is to achieve the operational capacity of 3,140 MW and we are aiming to achieve the capacity of 11,390 MW by year 2015. Since the commencement of commercial production at our first plant of 260 MW in year 2000, we have been a profit making Company. We have declared dividend over the last 5 years, except for the year 2008-09 where the internal accruals were conserved to meet the requirements of growth. In our pursuit for growth, our effort is to build a lasting organization, which can provide value to all stakeholders. I wish to have your whole hearted support in this journey to power our lives. With warm regards,
N. K. Jain
