    This Offering Circular includes the Restricted Group’s audited combined financial statements as of and for the

    fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Restricted Group’s audited combined financial

    statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance

    with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read withthe Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended from time to time (except Ind AS 33 on

    Earnings Per Share), other accounting principles generally accepted in India and the Guidance Note on

    Combined and Carve-out Financial Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and

    presented in Rupees. The Restricted Group’s audited combined financial statements have been prepared on a

    basis that combines the balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and statement of cash flows of the legal

    entities comprising the Restricted Group as per the principles elaborated in the Guidance Note on Combined and

    Carve-out Financial Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and presented in

    Rupees. The Issuers do not, together as the Restricted Group, comprise a separate legal group or entity. The

    Issuers together, as the Restricted Group, represent obligors under the terms of the Notes. As the Restricted

    Group did not constitute a separate legal entity for the periods presented, the Restricted Group’s audited

    combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition, results of operations and

    cash flows of the Restricted Group that would have occurred if it had operated as a single standalone group of

    entities during the periods presented. The Restricted Group’s audited combined financial statements as of and for

    the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 have been audited by Dharmesh Parikh & Co. and B S R & Co.

    LLP and the joint auditors’ reports for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 are included herein. The

    Restricted Group’s audited combined financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017

    have been audited by one of the joint auditors, Dharmesh Parikh & Co.. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to

    Our Financial Statements and Projections — Our combined financial statements in this Offering Circular do not

    reflect the results of any legal group”.

    Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 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

    respective accounting policies. For a description of certain significant differences between Ind AS and IFRS, see

    “Description of Certain Differences between Ind AS and IFRS”. See also, “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our

    Financial Statements and Projections — Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting

    principles, such as IFRS, with which prospective investors may be familiar”.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    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

    iv

  • 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.

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as loss / profit plus (a) finance cost, (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) tax

    expenses, less (i) revenue from traded goods, (ii) other income and (iii) viability gap funding as per books, plus

    (d) purchase of traded goods, (e) foreign exchange fluctuation from non-financing activities and (f) 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 also contains projections relating to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and

    amortization (“EBITDA”) of the Restricted Group. EBITDA are consolidated measures for each of the projectsreflecting 100% ownership. These figures do not take into account minority interests, tax equity, or other

    financial interests in the projects other than the Restricted Group. See “Summary — The Independent

    Consultant’s Report”.

    Management is solely responsible for the projections of operating revenues and EBITDA of the Restricted Group

    for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2021. Neither the Issuers, AGEL, our independent accountants, nor the

    Independent Consultant 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 the following 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 and/or in the Independent

    v

  • Consultant’s Report or if the assumptions used in formulating these projections and estimates prove to be

    incorrect, the Issuers’ and AGEL’s ability to make payments of principal of and interest on the Notes may be

    materially adversely affected. For certain additional information relating to the projections and estimates

    contained in the Independent Consultant’s Report, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Financial

    Statements and Projections — Investors should not rely on the projections contained herein, as the projections

    themselves and their underlying assumptions may be inaccurate.”

    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.

    INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

    Information regarding market position, growth rates and other industry data pertaining to our businesses

    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:

    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 Bookrunners, any of their respective affiliates, the Note

    Trustee or the Agents have independently verified this data and neither we nor the Joint Bookrunners, the Note

    Trustee or the Agents or any of their respective representatives, agents, directors, officers, employees, advisers or

    affiliates 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 Bookrunners, the Note Trustee or the Agents or any of their respective representatives, agents, directors,

    officers, employees, advisers or affiliates 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.

    Circular.

    ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

    AGEUPL is a public company incorporated under the laws of India and PDPL and PSEPL are private limited

    companies incorporated under the laws of India. Substantially all of our directors and key management personnel

    are residents of India and all of our assets are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to

    effect service of process on us or such persons in jurisdictions outside of India, or to enforce against them

    judgments obtained in courts outside of India including those predicated upon civil liabilities of us or such

    directors and key management personnel 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. 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 and Hong Kong has been declared by the GoI to be a

    reciprocating territory for the purposes of section 44A of the Civil Code and the High Courts in England as the

    relevant superior courts, the United States has not been declared by the GoI to be a reciprocating territory for the

    purposes of section 44A. Furthermore, the execution of foreign decree under Section 44A of the Civil Code is

    also subject to the exception under Section 13 of the Civil Code, as discussed below. 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. A 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 them claim to litigate 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

    xi

  • 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 judgment or by proceedings in execution. Under 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 Indian practice.

    A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the Reserve Bank of

    India (the “RBI”) under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, to execute such a judgment and repatriateoutside India any amount recovered pursuant to execution, and any such amount may be subject to income tax in

    accordance with applicable laws. 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. We cannot

    predict whether a suit in India will be disposed of in a timely manner or be subject to considerable delay.

    Business Overview

    We collectively comprise three wholly-owned subsidiaries of AGEL, an independent power producer in India,

    led by a strong and focused management team with experience in identifying, developing and operating solar

    power generation assets across India. We own and operate a portfolio of solar power projects that are large in

    size, operational or expected to commence commercial operations shortly and diversified across eight states in

    India. Our portfolio of assets consists of 25 operational utility scale solar energy projects, with 930 MW of total

    installed capacity as of May 10, 2019.

    We sell solar power on long-term fixed-price PPAs to central government agencies and state DISCOMs. Over

    57% of our total capacity is subject to long-term PPAs with SECI and the NTPC, with the remaining 43% of

    capacity being subject to long-term PPAs with state DISCOMs, ensuring a predictable and stable cash flow. Our

    in-house engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) expertise enables us to deliver committed plantperformance 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 are wholly-owned subsidiaries of AGEL and promoted by our Sponsor. Our Sponsor leads one of India’s

    largest private sector energy and infrastructure conglomerates, with an international portfolio of diversified assets

    (including an integrated energy business) valued at U.S.$2.00 billion as of September 30, 2018 (Source: reviewed

    financial statements of AGEL, September 30, 2018). With over three decades of experience in the energy sector

    in India, our Sponsor has a strong track record of large scale project execution and maintains long-standing

    relationships with key stakeholders.

    Competitive Strengths

    We believe our competitive strengths are as follows:

    We are promoted by our Sponsor, who founded one of the leading integrated energy and infrastructureconglomerates in India and has established a long track record of successfully executing large-scale projects

    We benefit from the support, vision, resources and experience of our Sponsor, who leads one of India’s largest

    within India’s complex regulatory framework (including, for example, land identification and acquisition,

    securing connectivity to the grid, plant design, strategic sourcing, O&M, and receivables management).

    Our Sponsor also brings to bear financial as well as operational expertise, leveraging long-term relationships with

    financial institutions to provide us with access to financing in both the domestic and international debt and

    capital markets.

    We are part of the largest private sector solar developer

    We are part of AGEL, India’s largest private sector solar power developer and operator with a current operational

    capacity of approximately 2.0 GW, of which we accounted for 930 MW of total installed capacity as of May 10,

    2019. Our portfolio of assets consists of 25 operational utility scale solar energy projects, representing more than

    45% of AGEL’s operating capacity. We benefit from AGEL’s strong operational expertise and project execution

    capabilities, as well as the large scale of AGEL’s and our operations, which allow us to capitalize on economies

    of scale in various stages of the development and operations of our projects, including when sourcing best-in-

    class supplies from AGEL’s large vendor base and managing our costs per project. In addition, we are party to

    service agreements with AGEL, pursuant to which we benefit from operational and management services

    provided by experienced AGEL teams. Since our establishment in 2015, our focus on the efficient execution of

    our projects and our ability to draw upon the expertise and economies of scale within AGEL has enabled us to

    successfully deliver high-performing, utility scale grid connected solar projects in a short period of time, with the

    typical development timeline for our projects being between 13 and 21 months.

    We have a diversified portfolio of solar projects that generate a predictable and highly stable revenue streamfrom long-term PPAs with creditworthy counterparties across eight states in India

    Geographically diversified portfolio

    Our asset portfolio consists of utility scale solar power projects, spread across eight states in India: Karnataka

    (representing 47.3% of our capacity), Telangana (representing 10.8% of our capacity), Chhattisgarh (representing

    10.8% of our capacity), Uttar Pradesh (representing 10.8% of our capacity), Punjab (representing 10.8% of our

    capacity), Andhra Pradesh (representing 5.4% of our capacity), Rajasthan (representing 2.2% of our capacity)

    and Maharashtra (representing 2.2% of our capacity). Our geographical diversity enables us to spread our

    revenue realizations across weather patterns, climates and local demand schedules.

    Long-term fixed-tariff PPAs with diversified counterparties

    All of the offtake contracts for our projects are fixed-tariff and long-term (generally 25 years from the

    commercial operation date of the project), with a weighted average remaining term of our PPAs at 23 years and

    ten months as of March 31, 2019. We win our PPAs through transparent and competitive tender processes

    conducted by the central and state governments of India. The counterparties to our PPAs include both central

    government-owned entities, as well as DISCOMs diversified across eight states in India.

    7

  • Highly rated counterparties

    We benefit from the creditworthiness of our counterparties, with whom we face minimal collection uncertainty

    and payment delays. Over 57% of our total capacity is subject to long-term PPAs with high-quality central

    government-owned entities, namely SECI and NTPC. The remaining 43% of our capacity are subject to long-

    term PPAs with DISCOMs (comprising 17% of capacity under PPAs with DISCOMs with an ‘A’ rating and

    above (as published by the Ministry of Power in India), and 26% of capacity under PPAs with other DISCOMs).

    For further details of the ratings of our counterparties, see “— Solar Power Projects of the Restricted Group”

    below.

    These factors combined provide us with a long-term and a highly stable revenue profile during the term of the

    PPAs.

    We have a strong track record of excellence in project development, execution and management, supported bythe use of technologically advanced equipment

    We have a strong track record of developing, constructing and operating solar power projects, driven by our and

    AGEL’s experienced in-house teams across all stages of the process, which have previously successfully

    executed similar projects, such as AGEL’s 648 MW project in Kamuthi. Our land acquisition team has extensive

    experience in identifying and selecting appropriate plots of land for our solar power projects, as well as in

    acquiring and leasing land. This team has secured not only the land for our projects, but also substations for the

    transmission lines, helping us deliver our projects within their scheduled timelines. We have an experienced in-

    house technology, design and engineering team, with expertise in selecting the best-suited solar panels, as well as

    in plant design to ensure that the performance of the equipment is maximized (for example, through the selective

    use of appropriate inverters and real time tilt monitoring). Our EPC team also constantly evaluates the

    technological advancements for all major equipment used in solar power projects, to ensure that our projects

    utilize technologically advanced equipment which will perform at the optimal level for our plant designs. Our

    project management team includes members with civil, electrical and mechanical engineering experience, who

    use our internal project tracking system and control mechanism to detect potential slippages and value accretion

    opportunities within the project timeline, to ensure the timely completion of our projects. Our in-house teams

    work together to ensure that the power produced at our plants are efficiently dispatched and connected to the

    grid.

    We centralize project controls using our in-house project management tools, such as SAP and Agile, and enjoy a

    high degree of control on resources deployed through our direct contracting methods with no external

    engineering, procurement, and construction contracts awarded. In addition, we maintain a high safety standard

    through our engagement with Du Pont in framing a health, safety, and environment guideline.

    Combining the expertise of our in-house teams with our strategic sourcing approach, we are able to shorten

    equipment delivery timelines to lower project inventory periods in our projects and use new technology to reduce

    cost, while increasing the generation from our plants. For example, the solar modules used in our projects are

    sourced from Tier 1 suppliers as defined by Bloomberg New Energy Finance; they comply with strict industry

    standards, are manufactured on production lines we selected, using the bill of materials we approved and under

    the supervision of both our representatives as well as third party quality control consultants. Similarly, we source

    Huawei string inverters, Hitachi central inverters and trackers (including NEXTracker and Artech single axis

    trackers) from industry-leading suppliers who provide us with the best-in-class products at competitive prices and

    with committed after-sales support. Our equipment is also generally backed by long-term performance warranties

    8

  • and product warranties. These competitive advantages mean that we successfully manage our costs per project

    without compromising on technologically advanced equipment and quality.

    We benefit from in-house O&M expertise in delivering committed plant performance at industry-leadingbenchmarks

    Our projects have been successfully operated post-construction with no significant delays or disruptions. This is

    made possible by our experienced in-house O&M team, which is focused on achieving the highest confidence

    level (P50) of performance with respect to our solar projects and aims to minimize downtime. We have built a

    robust internal O&M infrastructure, including our cloud-based RONC, to monitor plant performance on a real-

    time basis and implement a predictive maintenance approach, comprising a centralized head office team and

    regional cluster teams. Our O&M expertise enables us to reduce maintenance costs, extend the lifetime of assets

    and increase generation availability. We have also achieved operational efficiencies by utilizing technologies

    such as our automatic cleaning robot system, dust detection system, centralized monitoring and maintenance,

    thermal imaging through drones and optimal tilt monitoring system. For example, our weighted average plant

    availability for the year ended March 31, 2019 was 99.61% and grid availability was 98.68%. In addition, to help

    us establish world-class, sustainable O&M practices which ensure optimum control and governance, we had

    engaged KPMG and Green-tech Energy (Germany) as consultants.

    We are led by a skilled and experienced management team

    We have a strong management team with extensive experience in the renewable energy sector, in-depth

    understanding of managing solar power projects and proven track record of performance. Our senior

    management team, led by its board of directors, has an
