  Rudge Power Station from July 1999.  Net Sales include Rs.11 Crore            
 recovered by way of special appropriation following latest tariff revision.

2.  The Company is Year 2000 (Y2K) ready in all its mission critical areas of   
   operation.  The Company, however, continues to depend on the Year 2000       
  (Y2K) preparedness status of external agencies viz. utilities, telecom,       
 ports, communication, transportation, banks etc.  An amount of                 
approximately Rs.3 Crore has been incurred on the remedial effort.
