Statement of Profit & Loss for the Year ended March 31, 2021 49
Statement of Cash Flow for the year ended on March 31, 2021 50
Dear Shareholders,
It gives me immense pleasure to represent you 29th Annual Report of your company M/s. Zodiac
Energy Limited. The world has been changed after COVID-19 Pandemic and humanity is still
struggling to cope up with different mutants of corona virus and wave after wave are engulfing
the globe with huge number of cases. As you all are aware, we all are passing through the testing
time of COVID-19 pandemic and global shutdown. Globally, businesses are facing upheaval task
to stay afloat and survive the situation.
Fiscal F.Y. 2020-21 will be remembered as the year of COVID-19. We are grateful to the frontline
healthcare workers and other support teams who are selflessly and fearlessly serving humanity
during these challenging times. The silver lining is the success of large-scale vaccination in a few
countries including India in controlling the pandemic that is giving hope to humanity at large.
India was relatively successful in managing the first wave of the pandemic outbreak but unfortunately, the second wave of Covid-
19 is spreading the virus much more rapidly across India, including the rural areas which were relatively less impacted in the first
wave. We are cautious and hopeful that with an all-out effort, we will be able to overcome the challenging situation the country is
facing. With rapid Vaccination we expect that the third wave of COVID -19 do not impact India much.
Despite the adverse impact of COVID-19, I am pleased to inform you all that your Company has achieved turnover of ₹100 crore for
the first time in its history reflecting robust growth of 47.20 % in turnover for the financial year 2020-21. Profit After Tax(PAT) has
increased to ₹4.50 crore in FY 2020-21 from ₹ 3.00 crore in FY 2019-20.
This positive performance amid pandemic time was possible mainly on account of continued support of shareholder’s and
pragmatic leadership provided by the Board of Directors. The support at all the levels of operations by all the employees of your
Company also played crucial role in achieving this result.
I would like to thank the entire management team, the work force, the bankers and the Business Associates of the company for
enabling your Company to perform well in this troubled time. I have also taken this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors for
their immense efforts in formulating and steering your Company’s strategies and policies.
The renewable energy is now replacing the fossil fuel energy and from being marginalised source, it is fast becoming mainstream
energy source. The nations across world are changing their usance pattern to embrace more and more renewable energy sources,
Solar being the major among them.
India is embarked to deploy 450 GW of green energy by 2030 including green hydrogen technology and your company is prepared
for being the part of the journey towards fossil fuel free world. I am confident that your Company will achieve greater heights in
the times to come and also will deliver long term value addition to all the stakeholders, namely shareholders, customers and
employees.
Your company is now qualified for migrating to main board of NSE & BSE and your company is preparing for the same and
hopefully, it will migrate to main boards in coming times.
I thank you all very much and I look forward to receive even greater support from all of you.
Stay safe.
With warm Regards,
Kunjbihari Shah

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:
Global Economy:
The global economy reported de-growth of 3.5% in 2020 compared to 2.9% in 2019, the sharpest contraction since World War II.
This steep decline in global economic growth was largely due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the consequent
suspension of economic activities across the world. This led to global supply chain disruptions, resulting in a de-growth in some of
the largest global economies. Global FDI reported a significant decline from $1.5 trillion in 2019 to $859 billion in 2020, the lowest
since the 1990s and more than 30% below the investment trough that followed the 2008-09 global financial meltdown.
(Source: IMF)
Performance of some major economies:
United States: The country witnessed a GDP de-growth of 3.4% in 2020 compared to a growth of 2.3% in 2019.
China: The country’s Gross Domestic Product grew 2.3% in 2020 compared to 6.1% in 2019 despite being the epicenter of the
outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
United Kingdom: Britain’s GDP shrank 9.9% in 2020 compared to 1.4% growth in 2019, 2x the annual contraction recorded in the
aftermath of the global meltdown in 2009.
Japan: Japan witnessed a contraction of 4.8% in 2020, the first instance of a contraction since 2009. (Source: CNN, IMF, Economic
Times, trading economics, Statista, CNBC)
The global economy is projected to grow by 5.5% in 2021 largely due to the successful roll-out of vaccines across the globe,
coupled with policy support in large economies. (Source: IMF)
Indian Economy:
The Indian economy passed through one of the volatile periods in living memory in 2020-21.
At the start of 2020, India was among five largest global economies; its economic growth rate was the fastest among major
economies (save China); its market size at 1.38 bn was the second largest in the world; its rural population of the under-consumed
is the largest in the world.
The Indian government announced a complete lockdown in public movement and economic activity from the fourth week of
March 2020. As economic activity came to a grinding halt, the lockdown had a devastating impact on an already-slowing economy
as 1.38 billion Indians were required to stay indoors - one of the most stringent lockdowns enforced in the world.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the consequent suspension of economic activities due to the pandemic-induced
lockdown, coupled with muted consumer sentiment and investments, had a severe impact on the Indian economy during the first
quarter of the year under review. The Indian economy de-grew 23.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2020-21, the sharpest de-
growth experienced by the country since the index was recorded.
The Indian and state governments selectively lifted controls on movement, public gatherings and events from June 2020 onwards,
each stage of lockdown relaxation linked to corresponding economic recovery. Interestingly, the recovery was not merely linear
but across-the-board. As controls relaxed what the country observed was a new normal: individuals were encouraged to work from
home; inter-city business travel was replaced by virtual engagement; a greater premium was placed on the ownership of personal
mobility modes (cars and two-wheelers); there was a sharp increase in home purchase following the need to accommodate an
additional room for home working.
The result is that India’s relief consumption, following the lifting of social distancing controls, translated into a full-blown economic
recovery. A number of sectors in India – real estate, steel, cement, home building products and consumer durables, among others -
By December 2019, 15,100 megawatts (MW) of wind power projects were issued, of which, projects of 12,162.50 MW capacity
have already been awarded. Power generation from renewable energy sources in India reached 127.01 billion units (BU) in FY20.
With a potential capacity of 363 GW and with policies focused on the renewable energy sector, Northern India is expected to
become the hub for renewable energy in India.
There are some initiatives which are taken by Government of India to boost India’s renewable energy sector which includes:
In June 2021, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd. (IREDA) has invited bids from solar module manufacturers
for setting up solar manufacturing units under the central government’s Rs. 4,500 crore (US$ 616.76 million) Production
Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
In June 2021, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved ReNew Power to exchange equity shareholding by its
existing shareholders with shares of ReNew Global. Along with this, the CCI also approved a reverse triangular merger of
ReNew Global’s subsidiary with RMG II.
In April 2021, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and CEEW’s Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF) jointly launched the
India Renewables Dashboard that provides detailed operational information on renewable energy (RE) projects in India.
In April 2021, the Ministry of Power (MoP) released the draft National Electricity Policy (NEP) 2021 and has invited suggestions
from all stakeholders such as Central Public Sector Undertakings, Solar Energy Corporation of India, power transmission
companies, financial institutions like Reserve Bank of India, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, HDFC Bank, ICICI
Bank, industrial, solar, and wind associations, and state governments.
In March 2021, the Union Cabinet approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the field of renewable energy
cooperation between India and the French Republic.
GROWTH DRIVERS:
Green city concept: A green city is entirely run on power generated from renewable resources. In this concept, the proposed city
will receive power from environment friendly facilities such as solar rooftops, solar parks and waste recycle plants. The
government plans to establish a green city in every state and took the first step at Diu, India’s first solar city by day.
Rising fuel prices: India is one of the largest importers of fossil fuels. It is vulnerable to fluctuating fuel prices causing a rise in trade
deficit and weakening rupee. The rising prices of petroleum goods have created an incentive for consumers to avail of alternate
energy sources.
Conducive government policy: The Indian government recognises that green energy is a futuristic alternative to address India’s
growing power demand while ensuring environmental sustainability. To promote the growth of green energy, the Indian
government introduced solar parks under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, making customs and excise duty provisions for solar
rooftops, among others.
Commitment to climate change: India remains committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change, moderating 21% of the
pledged 33% of emissions intensity over 2005 levels. It is expected that India will reach its target of generating 175GW green
power even before the targeted deadline.
Scalable: As renewable energy resources become available in abundance even in the most underdeveloped areas, national
productivity could increase.
Cost-efficient: Renewable energy has zero procurement costs apart from the initial capital expenditure. Following a gradual
decline in transmission cost, the one-time large-scale installation costs can be easily recovered by generated revenues.
