Dear Colleagues
2. To manage our rapid growth, we strengthened our
In our journey of 4 years with Business Excellence, we are
proud to be associated with the legacy of the framework left by
Malcolm Baldridge. He shared his birthplace Omaha Nebraska
with Warren Buffet. He was a brilliant student of Yale, worked
as foundry hand in an iron making company and rose to be
its President. Thereafter he served in World War II, returned
to rise up in another company Scovil to be its Chairman,
while leading its transformation from a troubled brass mill to a
highly profitable company. He was nominated to be Secretary
of Commerce by President Reagan, reduced Commerce
Department budget by 30%, administrative personnel by
25%, was a strong proponent of quality management even in
government, worked hard to build trade bridges with Soviet
Union, China and India and was considered one of the most
successful Commerce Secretaries ever.
3. For our projects, we applied highly improved and
Your enthusiastic pursuit of GMR Business Excellence Model
(GBEM) over these years has helped GMR Energy to build
capabilities to improve continually and adapt to rapidly changing
business environment. I must convey my deep appreciation of
all your effort during FY14, when we took major steps to make
GMR Energy more efficient and effective. While we worked
together to make internal changes happen, we were also
contending with an unprecedented downturn in the global and
Indian economy. This did not slow us down, but in fact, made
us more determined to make large scale improvements along
the length and breadth of GMR Energy.
While we achieved significant gains through CIPs and Idea
Factory and cleaned up our KM portal, I would list the big ticket
transformational measures as the following:
1. Organization structure was changed from horizontal to
vertical, with the formation of SBUs that made us flatter,
more agile with greater empowerment down the line; our
projects under construction and operating plants were given
more authority and responsibility, with clear organization
structures (Page No: 32 – 1.1A3, Page No: 88, 5.1A3)
governance processes through more rigorous application of
audits, well beyond statutory requirements towards greater
management assurance; for key business processes,
decision matrix in the form of RASCI were formulated and
implemented; DoPs for key processes were reviewed and
updated; business reviews were re-designed (Page No: 37,
1.2A1)
documented processes in GKEL, CTPP and Bajoli Holi,
through a program which was code named ‘Bhavyatha’
(Page No: 114, 6.2B3)
4. We achieved major cost optimization in diverse areas – from
GEMS mines operations in Indonesia to significant resource
optimization across GMR Energy (Page No: 108, 6.1B2)
5. We drove Environment, Health, Safety and Governance in
an integrated manner, with emphasis on ethics & integrity
through the GRI G4 Corporate Sustainability framework
(Page No:42, 1.2C1, Page No: 90, 5.1B1)
6. We are pursuing Asset Light Asset Right strategy to
continually review our portfolio and maximize valuations
(Page No: 56, 2.1A2)
I am confident, just as you are that these transformational
measures will differentiate us in the market and yield results
on all key areas of interest of investors, employees, suppliers,
environment and society, in a balanced manner.
I thank each one of you for your precious contribution towards
all-round business excellence in GMR Energy. Let us all
continue on this journey focusing on our immediate priorities of
liquidity, profitability and structure & processes, without losing
sight of capability building for the long term.
With Best Wishes

(growth fell to a low of 4.4% in 2013)
Current Account Deficit: India’s growth has been at the cost of a persistent current
account deficit (which reached over 6% of GDP in 2012). India needs to import
crude oil, machinery and many other raw commodities. Its export sector has
struggled to match the growth of imports.
Rupee devaluation: The large current account deficit has caused the Rupee to fall,
despite very low interest rates in US and Europe.
Inflation: India has struggled to keep inflation low. In 2013, inflation was nudging
near 10%, hurting the living standards of the poor who are particularly vulnerable
to the price of food. High inflation is also harming confidence for investment.
Urbanization: Parts of the Indian economy have made rapid growth, but it has

Government budget deficit: Despite years of economic growth, the government
has found it difficult to balance the budget. The budget deficit is 4.8% of GDP
in the year 2012–13. Public sector debt is 68.05% of GDP, one of highest for a
developing economy. Tax collection is still limited by tax evasion and corruption
(tax collection only accounts for 9% of GDP – one of lowest in the world).

lowest in the world. It has huge

urbanization and growing
youth population.
Years of populist tariff schemes, political interference, huge AT&C losses of over 30% and
operational inefficiencies have adversely affected the financial health of State Discoms
which are currently plagued with humongous outstanding debt of Rs. 1.9 Lakh Crores
Distribution sector reforms:
Distribution sector is still mostly state government owned and there has been inadequate
investment, modernization and penetration across the country, thus suppressing actual
power demand. Over 30% of our population has no access to electricity even today.

Fuel Security Concerns:
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14

Power evacuation:
Transmission of power is facing several points of bottleneck across the country, preventing
free flow of power from suppliers to consumers, thus creating additional shortage of power
to consumers and surplus of power for producers
Policy Paralysis:
The micro level policies governing the fuel cost pass-through, mega power policy;
competitive bidding guidelines are not in consonance with the macro framework like The
Electricity Act 2003 and the National Electricity Policy.
Environmental clearances: Environmental clearances are the major hurdle in the growth for
investment project. It takes 1.5 -3 years for the clearances which delays the planning for
the project. However, to fast track major investment projects and impart transparency in
clearance procedures, the project monitoring group (PMG) under the cabinet secretariat has
decided to digitize all applications for clearances relating to forest, environment and others
by March 2015.
Land acquisition: The new Land Acquisition Act was formulated to provide just and fair
compensation to those whose land is taken away for constructing roads, buildings or
factories, replacing 120-year-old legislation. The new law — Right to Fair Compensation
and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act — stipulates
mandatory consent of at least 70% of affected people for acquiring land for Public Private
Partnership (PPP) projects and 80% for acquiring land for private companies. It also
proposes that farmers and landowners be paid up to four times the market value for land
acquired in rural areas and two times the market value in urban areas. However, the New
government at the Centre indicated that it may change few provisions of the land acquisition
law.

technology., Iceland, Japan
and New Zealand have proven
technology for geo-thermal
energy, Coal-bed Methane
deposits in India are not
insignificant. India has great
opportunity to tap these for
future energy security.
Public private partnership
model:
There is a strong need to push
for wider-scale implementation
of public private partnership
models. The private sector
has been playing a key role
in generating power; a more
supportive environment will
help in bridging the energy
deficit of the country.
P.2 A Competitive Environment
and poor financial health of Discoms.
The electricity market is highly regulated by the government
despite policies to deregulate it. While power generation is
open to private players, power transmission and distribution
markets open to private sector are very small. GMR Energy
is not in the business of gas production. It has coal mines in
Indonesia.
Detailed peer assessment is carried out during Annual Strategic
Planning process. As per the current regulations prevailing in
the sector, Competition amongst peers is restricted to:
1. Capacity Addition through acquiring projects / developing
new projects through regulated bids
2. Sale of Power through Long term bids, and medium &
short term merchant market through bilateral and power
exchanges.
P.2 A1 Competitive Position
What is your competitive position? What are your relative size
and growth in your industry or markets served? What are the
numbers and types of competitors for your organization?
Few players posing competition to GMR Energy in private
Power Generation Sector is Reliance Power, Lanco Infra,
Adani Power, JSW Energy, Tata Power, GVK Power and JP
Power (Fig. OP.1)
Market has stagnated over the last couple of years due to overcapacity in base load, transmission constraints, fuel shortage

P.2 A2 Competitive Changes
What are any KEY changes taking place that affect your competitive situation, including opportunities for INNOVATION and
collaboration, as appropriate?
Fig. OP.2 – Competitive Changes
Aspect
Competitive Changes
Fresh Capacity
Addition
• Fresh Capacity addition from private sector is decreasing and may lead to higher deficit in the
Domestic Fuel (Coal)
latter part of 12th Plan
• Coal Production Enhancement, Speedy Clearances and Restructuring of Coal India are high on
the priority list of Coal Ministry, Target set to increase coal production by 13% (YoY)
• Near term outlook for domestic Natural gas production continues to remain bleak
Availability & Pricing
of Natural Gas
• The Govt. is considering a bailout package for Gas based power plants that include ensuring
cash-strapped state power distribution companies continue to buy electricity from them after a
scheduled price hike making available power from plants that are idling for want of fuel and a new
repayment plan for a few other idle power plants.
• Liquidity expected to be tight; debt for infra sector considering sectorial limits, current exposure
Project Funding
& equity availability is a concern, however due to recently improved Industry & Sector outlook
options of attracting funds from Private Equity and Retail investors through IPO Route would help
GMR Energy
• Power Projects awaiting Environmental Clearances have been reviewed by Environment Ministry
Clearances &
Approvals
and Power Ministry and a process is set to speed up the process
Renewable Energy
Financial Health of
Discoms
• Supreme court to reevaluate all the hydro projects being set up (Alaknanda is one such project
which may be affected)
• Scheme for Financial Restructuring has been approved by Cabinet committee on Economic
Affairs, this scheme contains various measures required to be taken by State Discoms and State
governments for achieving the Financial Turnaround of the Discoms by restructuring their debt with
support through a transitional financial mechanism by the Central Govt.
P.2 B Strategic Context
In spite of significant strides made in capacity addition, the power sector continues to be in the supply deficit regime with the peak
and energy deficits for FY 14 being 3.9% and 4.4 % respectively. The capacity utilization of newly added capacity remained at low
levels primarily driven by non-availability of fossil fuels – gas and coal. GMR energy was severely affected by the low availability
of natural gas, which crippled its operations in the 388 MW VPGL and 220 MW GEL plants. In addition, the commissioning and
operations of the 768 MW GREL plant, built at a cost of 3,803 Cr has been stalled due to non-availability of natural gas allocation.
Key Aspects Current Scenario
Key Takeaways
• India: CRISIL forecasts a 6% GDP growth for 2014-15 as compared to an expected 4.8% for 2013-14
• In the US, economy is beginning to see recovery & European economic recovery is on cards albeit at a
slow pace in 2014
Macro
Environment
• FY 15 Interest rates are expected to remain the same; 8% CPI & 6% WPI is being forecasted for 201415
• Liquidity expected to be tight; debt for infra sector considering sectorial limits, current exposure & equity
availability is a conc ern
• INR- USD exchange rates trend will remain uncertain; Re is expected to settle between INR/$ rate:
62-65 in FY15
• Expectation of economic upturn; mood
remaining cautious
• Currency volatility is on the rise;
open exposures need to be hedged,
especially in CTPP
• Interest rates are not expected to
come down; structured products
appear to be the flavor of the day
• Funding concern for Sector is
expected to continue as Banks have
reached Sectorial limits
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
13
Key Aspects Current Scenario
Key Takeaways
• Peak and Energy Deficits are currently low (3.9%, 4.4%) & will pick up in H2 FY15
• Lower demand is on a/c of slowdown, structural issues and good monsoon
• Fresh capacity addition from Pvt sector is decreasing & may lead to a higher deficit in the later half of
12th Plan
Demand &
Supply
• Investor confidence has decreased, which will possibly accentuate the high deficit situation in the first
half of 13th Plan
12th Plan
• Installed capacity has reached 230 GW with ~19.5 GW in the past one year, driven by Pvt. sector share
of 42%.
• Suppressed demand scenario likely
to ease by H2 FY15 (GDP related);
coupled with RIL Gas price hike may
increase short term demand for power
• Decreasing new investments leading
to demand outpacing capacity addition
by the end of 12th Plan
• 88 GW addition is estimated (excluding renewables) by Planning Commission
• Capacity addition from FY 16 onwards and in 13th Plan could be adversely affected
• Short term market rates in FY14 remained suppressed; Short term bid prices higher than prices on the
power exchanges.
Power
Tariffs
• Long term bids were at a higher range than the prices in the short term market. This is complete
opposite of what was seen in the market two years ago.
• Key factors affecting the short term prices in FY 15 would be increase in fuel costs (+), financial
restructuring of DISCOMs which would limit their short term power purchases (-) and connectivity of the
southern grid with the national grid (-).
• Short- term prices may continue to
follow FY14 trend, in FY15
• Developers are also looking at locking up all their capacities on long-term basis given the coal linkage
requirements
Renewables
• 30 GW of renewable capacity planned wherein Solar power target is 20 GW by 2020 • Renewable tariffs are still attractive
(not yet bottomed out); maybe the right
• Efforts to review the wind sector with the reinstatement of incentive schemes like GBI. However, low
time to enter
feed-in tariffs and availability of good sites for wind projects are a deterrent
• 67% of 11th Plan target achieved with private sector share of 23%, which is expected to increase further
in 12th plan.
Hydro
• Huge untapped potential for the sector in NE India. Grid strengthening for evacuation of excess hydro
power has been identified as the priority
• Capacity addition envisaged in the 12th plan is around 10,000 MW
• Deficit of domestic coal is expected to continue and reach 230 MT by FY17. Will increase further if coal
blocks are de-allocated.
• Better performance in terms of production leading to some ease in the fuel supply situation.
Coal
• Environmental Clearances for CIL linked mines to increase CIL production have been put on a fast track
(MoEF ministry)
• International coal prices are expected to remain soft in the medium term with a gradual increase in CY15
• Newcastle coal index forecasted at US$84 per ton.
• Our Hydro portfolio, with already much
progress made, is expected to be a
key differentiator for value creation in
the current market environment
• CIL will meet FSA commitments for
next 2 years due to lack of new bids &
delays in start of PPAs
• International coal prices expected to
remain flat with a slight upturn towards
the end of FY15
• Indonesian coal reference price continue to remain flat.
• Near term outlook for domestic gas production continues to remain bleak.
• 9000 MW of projects are stranded due to shortage of gas
• With increased gas prices, production levels are expected to rise over next 2-3 years.
Gas
• Gas pooling seems unlikely to be implemented in the near future.
• Open Access and taxation issues with respect to gas transportation continue to persist
• Domestic Gas supply outlook
continues to be negative for the power
sector
• As per EGOM, additional domestic gas coming on-stream shall be allotted to power sector while
maintaining the priority of fertilizer sector above power sector.
• Short-term RLNG prices are not expected to decrease from the current level of US$14/MMBTU in FY15
• FRP for DISCOMs is in place.
• Coal shortfall being addressed thru’ CCEA directive.
• Uncertainties regarding coal block allocations & Tapering linkage still remain
Policy &
Regulatory
Environment
• No headway in support for stranded gas assets
• Regulators are now inclined to consider fuel as a “non-profit” component in tariff- fuel as pass through as
evidenced in Tata & Adani Order
• New SBDs have created a situation of conflict between the State and Center.
• Supreme Court to reevaluate all the hydro projects being set up (Badrinath is one of the project which
may be affected)
• New CERC Regulations are in place – stricter operational norms
14
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
• Continuity of various positive policy
initiatives remains a question with the
impending elections
• Implementation of FRP a big step
in installing discipline in DISCOM
operations even though Maharashtra
& Delhi have announced recent
populist measures

P.1 A Organizational Environment
P.1 A1 Product Offerings
What are your organization’s main product offerings? What is
the relative importance of each to your organizational success?
What mechanisms do you use to deliver your products?
Electric Power is the dominant product of GEL. GEL also
has coal trading business, which is at a nascent stage at the
moment. The delivery mechanism & % split of revenue for
Operating Assets are given in the table below: Table OP.8
Within the power generation business, we have followed
a strategy of diversification in respect of our fuel source,
geographic presence and off take arrangements.
We have 623 MW of gas-based, 200 MW of low-sulphur-heavystock (“LSHS”) based and 1,650 MW of coal-based capacity
that is operational. Additionally, we have also diversified into
renewable energy based power projects. We have 25 MW of
operational solar power plant. In our portfolio of projects under
18
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
construction, we have 1,370 MW of coal-based, 768MW of
gas-based and 180MW of hydro-based plants. We are also in
the process of developing 2,025 MW of hydroelectric power
projects that have not yet commenced construction. Most of
our power projects are strategically located close to the fuel
source to reduce our fuel transportation costs.
While we initially began our operations with a focus on the
energy-deficient Southern region of India, we have now
diversified across India with power projects in the Eastern,
Western and Northern regions as well as into Nepal to develop
large hydro power projects aimed at exporting power into India.
Our power off take arrangements is intended to achieve
a balance between risk, cash flow and revenue through a
combination of long-term and short-term power purchase
agreements (“PPAs”). At present, a majority of our off take
arrangements are long-term PPAs with various state utility
boards. We also sell power on a short-term basis through our
power trading company, GMR Energy Trading Limited (“GETL”),
and through other power exchanges. Fig. OP.8 illustrates our
product offerings and mechanism to deliver them.

under construction and development and 2498 MW under
operation in FY14, was mostly oriented towards a complex,
diverse and large set of stakeholders to execute projects
successfully in a highly regulated environment. In the process,
it has remained in the pursuit of all the elements of GMR Group
Vision, Values & Beliefs and GMR Energy Mission.
Operational Excellence has been identified as core competency
which needs to be further developed in the coming years, for
which ground work is already well under way, by soon engaging
a global consulting firm to support us. We aspire to create an
asset management process that would encompass end-to-end
requirements from top & bottom line management to talent &
performance management at asset level and at Sector level.

Business Conduct & Ethics (CoBCE) has been in place &
commitment to this is reinforced by various policies like Whistle
Blower policy, Sexual Harassment policy, governed by Ethics
& Intelligence Department at Group level. HR has formulated
a mandatory program on Code of Business Conduct & Ethics
(COBCE) that needs to be undertaken by all employees.
Actions have been taken to ensure that each employee has
read and accepted the GMR’s CoBCE through the e-enabled
system. A multi-channel, multi-language Ethics Helpline with
toll free number, managed by 3rd party (KPMG), has been
launched to provide a safe and secure way for employees,
vendors and suppliers to report Ethical concerns. Also,
considering the resource limitations, and direct reach of Ethics
and Intelligence department, Ethics Counselors have been
appointed at Projects/Assets locations to provide a secure
forum for free and frank exchange of concerns locally.

In order to achieve competitive advantage in Energy sector and strengthen the organization in the context of changing
domestic and global energy scenario, we realigned our organization structure to build robust Strategic Business Units
(SBUs) with dedicated strategic and functional support. Through this reorganization, we have achieved focused P&L,
and balance sheet responsibilities, enhanced authority & accountability, as well as empowerment resulting in faster
decision making. This reorganization has helped us in building a framework which has successfully facilitated shift from
functional leadership to business leadership, providing a robust leadership pipeline and leveraging the competencies and
experience of senior leadership team.
“We envisage developing projects based on optimum fuel mix with a view to significantly
increasing the share of Renewable Energy in our portfolio, where it stands currently.
Our strategies focus on sustainable business growth, business continuance and process
orientation for creating a sustainable organization”

system is embedded in all process. Leadership Team
guides the organization for the accomplishment of Strategic
objectives, innovation (Fig 2.1-7) and BSC/PDM cascade (Fig.
4.1-1). From FY 15, all the Goals will carry 100% weightage on
Performance as against 75% in previous years. Also, one of
the goals mandatorily will be related to Capability Building for
which a fixed 10 % weightage has been assigned / configured
in the e-PMP system.
Create Workforce Culture to Deliver Positive Customer
Experience & Customer Engagement
Senior leaders create a customer centric culture through a 4
block approach (Ref fig 3.2-5). Also, in order to enhance internal
Customer – Supplier centricity to serve our Customers better,
Service Level Agreements have been formulated and are being
launched for – Thermal Operations with Power Trading, Coal
sourcing & Logistics and, PPA Management Team. Various
other approaches to create Customer Engagement in work
culture are illustrated in Fig. 5.2-4 & 5.2-5

- Focus on Employee Engagement, Green Initiatives and
Sustainability through GRI G4
are identified through PMP process and provide opportunities
to complete the identified training programs to enhance
learning. Senior leaders create environment for Organizational
and Workforce learning through their Active involvement in
launching BE Roadmaps for their respective SBUs, supporting
deployment of Improvement Projects/ BE Practitioner program,
IMS certification course for Lead Auditor/Internal Auditor/MRs,
encouraging employees to share learning’s on KM portal,
Training key Employees on GRI-G4, P & L Training for Plant
/ Project Heads, supporting KM initiatives aimed at capturing
key learning’s from large scale Thermal Projects Acquired,
Executed, and divested in Past for e.g. EMCO, InterGen, Island
Power. Also, Leader led sessions at Group level provides an
opportunity for learning, sharing, and cross pollinating some of
the best practices on Energy conservation, water conservation,
waste management and other process improvements.
Enhancing Personal Leadership Skills
Feedback through PMP, 360 degree Leadership Assessment,
Skip level meetings, other informal feedbacks provide a holistic
view to the leaders to chalk out plans for improving their personal
leadership skills (Fig. 1.1-9), and creating future leaders for
organization. Their personal efforts are complemented with
training on Executive Leadership Programs and following HR
processes related to workforce and leader development as
described in 5.2 C1 & Fig.5.2-8
Fig. 1.1-9 Enhancing Leadership Skills
Participation in Organizational Learning, Succession Planning,
and development of Future Leaders
A primary responsibility of Leadership Team is using every
interaction as a potential opportunity to mentor and develop
future Leaders. Leadership Team encourages adoption of new
Technology, and best practices which are shared in various
review forums. Leadership thoughts to enhance organizational
performance trigger Engagement with Consultants (McKinsey/
Hay), Academia (IIM-Kozhikode), NIST for behavioral based
Safety programs, CII for Energy Audits, PWC for Project stage
Gate Audits etc. leading to all-round Organizational learning on
key aspects of Performance. GMR Energy has identified critical
job positions that must be filled in by experienced, well qualified
and appropriately skilled employees. Senior leaders participate
in succession planning (Fig. 5.2-9) to ensure a pipeline of
future leaders is ready to take over higher responsibilities. They
personally evaluate the recommendations for developmental
needs of the next level of leaders and discuss their skill and
competency development plans. (Ref: Succession Planning
Workshop conducted in FY 14)

achieve the following?
• encourage frank, two-way communication throughout the
organization
• communicate KEY decisions
• take an active role in reward and recognition programs to
reinforce HIGH PERFORMANCE and a CUSTOMER and
business focus
Senior leaders use various mechanisms for timely & effective
communication and for engaging the workforce as given in Fig.
1.1-10. To encourage and motivate distinguished performances
in various areas, GMR Energy has a bouquet of R&R, which
gets updated and improved based on VOE, ESS and other
inputs from workforce. Senior leadership actively participates
in the R&R functions, creating higher level of motivation and
inspires others to imbibe good practices. For E.g. Spot Awards,
Best CIP at each location, Theme based Idea Factory – Leading
site, and Contributor, Group Level CIP Awards.

1.1B2 Focus on Action
How do SENIOR LEADERS create a focus on action
to accomplish the organization’s objectives improve
PERFORMANCE, and attain its VISION? How do SENIOR
LEADERS to identify needed actions? How do SENIOR
LEADERS include a focus on creating and balancing
value for CUSTOMERS and other STAKEHOLDERS in their
organizational PERFORMANCE expectations?
Leadership Team brings Organization wide focus through our
Strategic themes as mentioned in 1.1 A1. These themes are
integrated with our Work System (Fig. 6.1-2) and aligned with
BSC/PDM, Strategic objectives, Goals, Initiatives and Action
Plans (Fig. 2.1-7). Balancing of stakeholders’ requirements is
done through identifying goals on all 4 perspectives of Balanced
Score Card. This is reinforced through redesigned Goal sheets
largely focusing on efficiency and effectiveness measures along
with 10% weightage for L & G, which comprises of aspects
like Innovation, KM, People development, Corp Sustainability
& Process Improvement. Fact based Performance reviews
(Fig. 4.1-7) by senior leaders, trigger action plans to create
continuous focus on accomplishment of strategic objectives
(Fig. 7.4.1). These actions become trigger for building new
capabilities and thus review findings become an important
input to Strategic Planning Process (Fig. 2.1-1) New initiatives
that drive breakthrough performance are implemented by
formation of CFTs (Bulls Eye at GKEL, Hydro Power Project
Management Manual) and, through Improvement Projects.
Senior leaders also identify required actions through
Assessment feedbacks like IMS audits, MAG Audits, Financial
Audits, Customer/ Supplier satisfaction surveys to enhance
process and organizational capabilities. Creating focus on
safety & climate change is also a part of senior leaders focus
as illustrated in Fig. 1.1-11

1.2 Governance & Societal Responsibilities
1.2 A Organizational Governance
1.2A1 Governance System
How does your organization review and achieve the following KEY aspects of your GOVERNANCE system?
• accountability for management’s actions
• fiscal accountability
• transparency in operations and selection of and disclosure policies for GOVERNANCE board members, as appropriate
36
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
• independence in internal and external audits
• protection of STAKEHOLDER and stockholder interests, as appropriate
We have adopted RASCI (Responsible, Approve, Support, Consult, and Inform) framework to capture key processes and the decision
rights matrix. RASCI goes beyond conventional financial powers and looks at key business process decisions that have long term
implications. RASCI helps to ensure that all key stakeholders whose involvement is necessary to ensure quality decision making,
are mandatorily brought in during the decision making process. Keeping in line with RASCI, All important operational decisions are
taken at the Business steering committee meetings. The biggest change which necessitated the revamping of the DOP was the
reorganization of GMR into SBUs. The Energy DOP reflects the powers necessary to be given to the SBU heads for their smooth
functioning, and provides for the following:
•
•
•
•
Easy reference document to ensure proper and prompt exercise of power, thus eliminating delays
Clarity in ensuring restraint / control of unauthorized exercise of power wherever felt necessary
Addressing actual / perceived inequalities in financial powers for people at same levels / grades within the Sector
A workable document giving appropriate powers to employees at different levels
Internal Audit process has been revamped and aligned with SBU structure, with ownership of SBU heads for better controls and
Compliance management. Stage Gate Audits through PWC were carried out for Hydro Projects to ensure our conformance to all
necessary clearances and approvals at every Project stage gate for better control on time, cost, and quality. Besides this, Fraud Risk
Assessment for EMCO, GKEL & CTPP has also been completed.
GMR Energy has complied with the requirements of Corporate Governance contained in the Company’s Act particularly those relating
to composition of the Board, Constitution of committees such as Audit Committee, CSR Committee, Shareholders Transfer Committee,
Nomination & Remuneration Committee (Committee scope revisited and enhanced based on the amendments in Companies Act2013.) and Investor Grievance Committee.
The Board consists of a total of 10 directors, of which 6 are independent directors, which constitutes more than 50% of our Board
of Directors. Of 4 non-independent directors, 3 are Executive Directors and 1 Director is nominee director of Investors. Fig. 1.2-1

1.2 A2 Performance Evaluation
How do you evaluate the PERFORMANCE of your SENIOR
LEADERS, including the chief executive? How do you use
these PERFORMANCE evaluations in determining executive
compensation? How do you evaluate the PERFORMANCE of
members of your GOVERNANCE Board, as appropriate? How
do SENIOR LEADERS use these PERFORMANCE reviews to
advance their development and to improve both their personal
leadership EFFECTIVENESS and that of your board and
LEADERSHIP SYSTEM as appropriate?
Performance of Senior Leaders is evaluated by the Quarterly
Business Reviews and achievement of the Business
Objectives as per BSC. Senior Leadership team evaluates
their effectiveness based on the feedback of various surveys
38
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
like Employee Engagement, GBEM assessments, MAG
Audits, Customer Satisfaction, and other forums like Skip
level meetings, Town hall meetings, etc. All these approaches
give feedback which are then addressed through appropriate
action plans and owners. Our Robust performance review
mechanism including GHB, and GCM reviews, GEL Audit
Committee; Board meetings also provide inputs for improving
leadership effectiveness. Action taken reports are prepared for
each review.
360 degree performance feedback approach for senior
leaders has been deployed to help them get a clear feedback
from subordinates, peers & Superiors to further evaluate
their performance & enhance their effectiveness. Fig 1.2-2
shows the various approaches being used by leaders for their
performance evaluation and performance improvement.
Fig. 1.2-2 Leadership System Effectiveness
Group Performance Advisory Council (GPAC) has identified six
core processes the Group needs to excel viz.
a. Setup Corporate Governance Standards that ensure
fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility and
reflect the Group’s Values and Beliefs
b. Develop and build talent pipeline to lead the organization and
build the institution to deliver the Group’s 2020 aspiration
c. Win and develop new projects to expand the business in
current and planned areas
d. Maintain and operate assets in a sustainable manner and
as per world class standards
e. Sustain and improve relationship with stakeholders and
build a strong and sustainable brand image for the Group
f. Incorporate Risk Analysis and Scenario Planning in
investment and strategic decisions
These processes are assessed at Group level and are essential
parameters used by GPAC [Group Performance Advisory
Council] to determine Group performance which becomes
one of the significant basis for determining the Executive
compensation.
1.2 B Legal and Ethical Behavior
1.2 B1 Legal and Regulatory Behavior
How do you address any adverse impacts on society of your
products and operations? How do you anticipate public
concerns with current and future products and operations?
How do you prepare for these concerns in a proactive manner,
including conserving natural resources and using EFFECTIVE
supply chain management PROCESSES, as appropriate? What
are your KEY compliance PROCESSES, MEASURES, and GOALS
for achieving and surpassing regulatory and legal requirements,
as appropriate? What are your KEY PROCESSES, MEASURES,
and GOALS for addressing risks associated with your product
& operations?
At GMR Energy, all statutory regulations and voluntary codes
are adhered to with absolute diligence. Across all our units we
implement a structured system to monitor, track, report, and
ensure compliance to the regulatory norms. We also have
adequate software and systems to monitor compliance. During
the reporting period, there were no incidents of non-compliance
and no monetary fines / penalties were imposed.
Our approaches to proactively address societal impacts
including conserving natural resources during design stage
and supply chain stages of the Project life cycle are detailed
out in Fig. 1.2-3 These approaches support us to understand
societal concerns and plan in a proactive manner. During the
execution of operation, all the sites are assessed for Hazard/
Risks under the EHS framework.

1.2 B2 Ethical Behavior
How does your organization promote and ensure ETHICAL
BEHAVIOR in all your interactions? What are your KEY
PROCESSES and MEASURES or INDICATORS for enabling
and monitoring ETHICAL BEHAVIOR in your GOVERNANCE
structure, throughout your organization, and in interactions
with CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS, suppliers, and other
STAKEHOLDERS? How do you monitor and respond to breaches
of ETHICAL BEHAVIOR?
GMR Group believes that for an organization to succeed, grow and
excel, it needs to be anchored to its Values and Beliefs and motivate all
its employees to consistently display these values in the course of their
interactions. Our CoBCE, embodies the Group’s Values and Beliefs
and endeavors to lay down guidelines for Employees/Suppliers/
Partners of the Group to follow to in their day to day work life.
Fig. 1.2-6 illustrates GMR Management of Business Ethics. CoBCE
is intended to provide guidelines for the Professional, Ethical, Legal
and Socially Responsible behavior that the Group expects from its
employees. All employees on regular rolls of the Company including
Full Time Directors, Advisors, External Consultants, Expatriates and
employees on contract are governed by this Policy.
As explained in 1.1 A2, CoBCE has been further reinforced by
various policies like Whistle Blower policy, Sexual Harassment policy.
All employees need to read and imbibe the CoBCE and follow it in
letter and spirit, so as to maintain the highest standards of values
in their conduct to achieve organizational objectives. Actions have
been taken to ensure that each employee has read and accepted the
GMR’s CoBCE through the e-enabled system. Approaches like Ethics
Helpline; Location Ethics Counselors provides a secure forum for
employees/vendors/suppliers to report Ethical Concerns.
Fig. 1.2-6 Management of Business Ethics
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
41
During the meetings with various stakeholders, endeavor is made to make them aware of the expected ethical behavior. Periodic communication
& e-acceptance is sought from employees to reinforce ethical behavior. New recruits & employees are given communication & mandatory training
on CoBCE through Induction & e-enabled module. Clause on Compliance to CoBCE is included in all Agreements/Service Orders/Purchase
Orders executed with Customers/Vendors/Partners as appropriate. All processes of stakeholder transactions are audited.
1.2 C Societal Responsibilities and Support of Key Communities
1.2 C1 Societal Well-Being
How do you consider societal well-being and benefit as part of your strategy and daily operations? How do you consider the wellbeing of environmental, social, and economic systems?
Societal well-being is clearly and unambiguously conveyed as our key business priority in our Vision, Mission and Values & Beliefs.
Our sustainability journey is a critical part of our readiness for the future. This growth requires a structural shift in the manner in which
we conduct our business and review all aspects of our performance – strategies, risks, operational efficiencies, EHS benchmarks, and
employee wellbeing and community relations. We are working on several fronts to create the platform to meet this challenge and along
with it create a sustainable growth.
Sustainable farming based greenbelt development, Sustainability Surveillance under E-governance as per GRI – G4, etc. are few such
futuristic initiatives. To reinforce our commitment towards sustainability, we have taken specific targets in achieving resource efficiency,
conservation of natural resources, reduction in carbon emissions, etc. in FY 2014-15.
The next big step forward is to enunciate, roll out and institutionalize our process of excellence within the overall Sustainability framework.
It includes leveraging the strategic planning process, mapping our environmental and social impacts and defining the way forward in all
areas of sustainable growth.
The Sustainability team headed by Head – S&D formulates the
Sustainability Strategies and reviews its progress. Fig. 1.2-7 illustrates
our CS Approaches on wellbeing of Environmental, Social & Economic
Systems. In FY14, Focus on CSR has been strengthened by
embarking on Triple bottom line initiatives and reporting under GRI G4
Framework. A 3 year Sustainability Road map (Fig. 1.2-8) has been
formulated and is under deployment. Selected employees have been
trained on GRI Certified – “Sustainability Reporting” training courses,
and training sessions have been organized to impart wide spread
awareness amongst EHS Team (Corporate & Site), Corporate ERM,
Internal Audit (MAG) and other Sectors (SEZ & GMR EPC Team).

1.2 C2 Community Support
How does your organization actively support and strengthen
your KEY communities? What are your KEY communities?
How do you identify these communities and determine areas
for organizational involvement, including areas related to your
CORE COMPETENCIES? How do your SENIOR LEADERS, in
concert with your WORKFORCE, contribute to improving these
communities?
The Company’s definition of CSR stems from the ‘Vision’ itself, which
states “GMR Group will be institution in perpetuity that will build
entrepreneurial organization, making a difference to society through
creation of value.” Thus making a difference to society has been made
an integral part of the Group’s vision implying that all businesses have
to keep this societal goal as part of doing the business itself. The
concept of ‘shared value’ is inherent in the goal of ‘creation of value’
in which the whole society benefits, rather than just aiming for profit
maximization.
‘Social responsibility’ is one of the core values adopted by GMR Group
and it is to be practiced in all businesses and by all employees of the
company. All employees are oriented towards living up the 7 values
and beliefs including social responsibility. Thus it is very much a part of
DNA of the Group companies.
Furthermore, to actualize its CSR professionally, the Group set up the
GMR Varalakshmi Foundation in 2003. The Vision statement for the
Foundation reads as “To make sustainable impact on the human
development of under-served communities through initiatives in
Education; Health and Livelihoods.”
The Foundation has the mandate to work with the under-served
44
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
sections of communities around the areas of business operations.
Thus, the key communities for GMR Group’s CSR activities are the
communities affected by the business operations of the Group. The
Foundation conducts need assessment studies in the project locations
and accordingly prepares long-term and Annual Operating Plans for
each location. These plans are implemented so as to create maximum
impact of social investments made by the Group. Fig. 1.2-9 illustrates
GMR Corporate Social Responsibility Project Planning. Regular
feedbacks from community, GCM Review of CSR Projects, and inputs
from Govt. Agencies/NGOs are used to improvise on CSR Initiatives
and Deployment.

Case Study 1- Educational Innovation - Kid Smart Early Learning
Centres
With an objective of creating an exciting learning environment through
computer-based learning, activities and reading for children of age
group 3 to 9 years GMRVF with IBM initiated nine GMR-IBM Kidsmart
Centres or Early Learning Centres (ELC) at seven project locations.
These ELCs target children from Govt. Schools who have been deprived
of technology aided quality education. Each ELC has three corners
-Technology corner, Craft corner and Reading corner with specific
activities designed for each corner. These corners give the child a
chance to explore and learn things in a more fun way. Over 700 children
are benefiting from these centres which helped in increasing children’s
interest in studies and in improving their academic performance. A
48
comparative analysis of results of Class I children in two Govt. schools at
Chhattisgarh clearly indicates that the Kid Smart children are performing
better in academics when compared to other children in normal school.
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
Case Study 2-Supplementing Govt. Health Care Services
The Community Health Center (CHC), Holi in Himachal Pradesh, is the
only health facility in the sub-tehsil Holi and on an average 45 patients
per day avail health services here. GMRVF undertook a survey of
the facilities (both physical and manpower) at CHC, Holi in 2012.
During this, lack of X-Ray machine and radiographer were identified
as deficiencies which critically affect the quality of medical services in
the Holi sub-tehsil. People have no option but to visit Chamba, District
Headquarter, which is about 72 km from Holi and normally takes 4
hours bus ride, for X-ray and ECG services. The worst part is that there
are only two buses from Holi to go to Chamba. Additionally it is difficult
to return on the same day. On the basis of this requirement, GMRVF
with the support of GMR Bajoli- Holi Hydro Electric Project had donated
one X-Ray and ECG machine to the CHC. The Foundation also had
appointed a radiographer to operate the machine. The X-Ray and ECG
machine have come to the community as a big relief as there was no
such facility in the near vicinity.
Since April 2012 over a period of 2 years, total 434 people have
been benefitted from these facilities (X-ray and ECG) at CHC Holi.
Foundation made an attempt to convert the value of services provided
through these facilities into monetary terms considering the costs of
transportation for patients and attendants, charges for availing the
services and miscellaneous expenses like food etc.
lead role in fulfilling the social commitments of GKEL through initiating
participatory community development programs to ensure quality of
life of people living near GKEL. Among various social initiatives that
GMRVF has taken up, the project that has been implemented to create
livelihood opportunities for the project affected people has perceptible
impact and contributed significantly for the human development of
under-served communities.
From this, it is estimated that the community has saved Rs 14 lakhs
which otherwise would have spent on above mentioned items. If the
income foregone for 2 days is also considered, this saved amount
would be to an extent of Rs. 16.50 lakhs. If the pain and drudgery of 8
hours of bus ride for the patients is further added to this, the benefits
of these facilities created by GMRVF are unimaginable. Not to add that
many of them would not have had gone to Chamba and would have
suffered and worsen up.
Case Study 3-Securing Future!
“Having multiple income generation activities not only increased our
family income, but also reduced the risks associated with a single
livelihood. Now we are earning more, and are more secure about our
future” says Bholeswar. Bholeswar Bhoi, is a small holder farmer from
ST community, from Barasahi village near Kamalanga in Odisha. His
family of 12 includes his three sons, one daughter, daughter-in-laws
and grandchildren. He owns two and half acres of land of which he sold
a small part to GKEL for setting up its power plant. Bholeswar and his
three sons worked on the farm. Bholeswar was struggling to manage
the entire family and to support the college education of his daughter,
Loli, who is the only member from his family who has gone for higher
education.
GMRVF trained Bholeswar in improved agricultural practices and
also supported him to take up groundnut cultivation, backyard poultry
and fish farming activities. Two of his sons work at power plant site
as unskilled labour. The third son was supported to take training in
mobile repairing at Cuttack and also for setting up a mobile repairing
shop. With increased income sources, Bholeswar’s family conditions
improved. They have constructed two additional rooms in their house
and are able to support Loli’s education.
Bholeswar’s family is one of the several families benefited by
the livelihoods program implemented under Corporate Social
Responsibility of GKEL in Dhenkanal district of Odisha.
GMRVF which is the CSR arm of the GMR Group has been given the
Traditionally most of the people in the periphery communities were
involved in agriculture and allied activities for their livelihoods. But since
last few years there have been a number of changes in their way of
living and thinking due to massive industrialization process undertaken
in Dhenkanal - Angul industrial corridor. Some of the major relevant
issues are: (1) Several farmers are moving away from agriculture after
small and big industries came up in this area. They are more interested
to work as unskilled labourers in the industries rather than working as
farmers –the vocation they are good at. (2) The local youth legitimately
have hopes of skilled work in industry, though they often lack skills
and competence. (3) Often, marginalized sections of the society such
as SC, ST, OBC and women are not able to adequately participate in
initiatives.
As a result they oppose industrialization process and the overall
situation becomes volatile and doesn’t remain conducive for business
to settle down and grow. Moreover protection of environment becomes
sole responsibility of the industries without any community participation
or ownership. In order to address the above mentioned issues, a
comprehensive livelihood program was designed and implemented
for 700 land loser families in GKEL periphery communities which not
only created employment opportunities for the land loser families and
unemployed youths, but also created a green belt in the communities.
As part of the livelihood program, improved agriculture practices were
introduced for better productivity and return. To make the agriculture
more economically remunerative, different crops was promoted.
Farmers belonging to SC and ST communities were provided with
training and inputs (seeds, fertilizers and agriculture equipment) to
undertake groundnut, maize, paddy and vegetable cultivation. Technical
support was mobilized from the government departments to ensure
better result. Likewise backyard plantation of papaya and teak was
promoted. Papaya and teak plantation is known for great profitability.
These plants require less maintenance than the other horticulture
plants. Training and support was provided to women members of
the families to start mushroom production ventures. Similarly allied
activities such as goat farming, backyard poultry, duckery and fish
farming were promoted which increased their family income.
Vocational training has been provided to 261 unemployed youths and
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
49
women from land loser families on basic computer, electrician, mobile
repairing, and tailoring and basic beautician course. Nearly 90 % of
these unemployed youths and women belong to the SC, ST and OBC
communities. Where ever possible, trained youth were engaged in
the construction work at the GKEL project site; otherwise support was
provided to the candidates to explore self- employment opportunities.
Trained youth are self-employed as mobile mechanic, tailors and
beauticians. The tailoring center women are engaged in production of
garments and selling their products in the local market. The Foundation
extended hand-holding support to them to ensure that they are able to
build on their training.
Livelihood project has created shared value for both the community
stakeholders and GKEL. The details of livelihoods programs are given
below.

Total Number of families supported
The family income of the most marginalized section of the society
has increased @ Rs 7000/- per family for about 500 families within
a period of 6-12 months from farm based activities. The agricultural
land which was lying fallow was utilized again, the community assets
like ponds generated income for the whole village. The women groups
initiated collective ventures which developed trust and connectedness
in the communities. The backyard plantation program contributed for
a healthy environment in the locality which is a major concern in the
periphery communities of any power project. All these changes have
also generated goodwill for GKEL. The community did not create
hindrances in the construction work at the GKEL project site. Overall
the livelihood project played important role in integrating business with
community by developing human and natural capital among the most
marginalized section of the population.

2. StrategIC PLANNING
2.1 Strategy Development
2.1 A1 Strategic Planning
GMR Energy follows a structured Strategy Planning Process
(Fig. 2.1-1) to develop its Strategic Plan. The process starts with a
communication from CSPD during Nov-Dec culminating into GHB
approved, AOP and three year rolling strategic plan by end of March
every year. Until FY 14, development of Strategic Plan from start to
end was being driven by SPG. FY 15 onwards, Respective SBUs have
been fully empowered to develop SBU level Strategic Plan to ensure
better accountability and harmonization of Plans. SPG continues to
perform the Environment scan to provide high level inputs to all SBUs
to enable them formulate their own Strategy, based on Group direction,
and Strategic themes identified for the Sector.
How does your organization conduct its strategic planning? What
are the KEY PROCESS steps? Who are the KEY participants?
How does your PROCESS identify potential blind spots? How
do you determine your CORE COMPETENCIES, STRATEGIC
CHALLENGES, and STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES (identified in
your Organizational Profile)? What are your short- and longerterm planning time horizons? How are these time horizons set?
How does your strategic planning PROCESS address these time
horizons?
2.1 A Strategy Development Process
Our Strategic Planning process is based on the Annual Strategy
Calendar, and is spearheaded by BCM along with SBU Heads that
sets the direction for the organization (Fig. 2.1-1).
Fig. 2.1-1 Strategy Planning Process
Our Strategic themes viz. Profitability, Liquidity, Structure and Process
have been identified as an outcome of extensive deliberations by
Energy Leadership Team during the Strategy workshop for FY
14. GHB directions and Sector Strategic themes form the basis for
52
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
Strategy formulation and for preparing ST/LT plans and milestones.
GMR Energy considers 1 year as the short term planning cycle and 3
years as long term planning cycle as explained in Fig. 2.1-2.

SPG provides key inputs on regulatory & policy framework, Environment scan, Scenario Analysis, Comparative Analysis for development of BSCs
at SBU level to ensure balance, alignment, and integration throughout the organization. Information is collected on an ongoing basis from various
sources like regulatory forums, media, websites, seminars, studies, meetings etc., both internal and external. The Strategy team analyses this
information to understand the market, competition, Customer and business environment and key impact of the same on GMR Energy in the short
and long term.
Fig. 2.1-3 Identification of Strategic Advantages, Challenges and Blind Spots
The overall business environment analysis is then used by respective
SBUs as an input for development of LT & ST Strategy for GMR Energy.
The current core competencies of GMR Energy have been identified
as 1) Stakeholder Relationship 2) Project Execution. Operational
Excellence has been identified as future core Competency. For a
Competency to be classified as Core Competency, the evaluation is
done based on the following: 1) Value creation for Customers 2) Better
than Competitor 3) Access to future revenue score 4) Best compared
to other strategic levers in the organization 5) To the extent it supports
Vision focus. Potential Blind spots i.e. Strategic issues- events or
trends which have an uncertainty of occurrence and their consequent
impact on the relevant organizational performance are identified
by interacting with consultants, industry experts, and participation
in industry forums to understand multiple perspectives and develop
mitigation and contingency plans accordingly (Fig. 2.1-3)
2.1 A2 Strategy Considerations
How do you ensure that strategic planning addresses the KEY
factors listed below? How do you collect and analyze relevant
data and information pertaining to these factors as part of your
strategic planning PROCESS?

Asset Light Asset Right strategy has been adopted by the Group to focus on
1. Cash Flow, Profitability, Liquidity
2. Continuous Performance Improvement
3. Having a line of fund to capture attractive opportunities
4. Becoming more responsive to market – Faster response and more proactive action
5. Releasing management bandwidth for more productive assets
We continuously develop and expand our business and portfolio of assets by capitalizing on opportunities to increase
value to our shareholders. As part of our strategy, we selectively evaluate and consider opportunities for acquiring new
units other assets that are complementary to our power business. We focus on areas where we see value enhancement
opportunities. For example, we have acquired interests in coal mining assets in Indonesia in order to mitigate our fuel risk.
We may also seek to divest, in whole or in part, our assets opportunistically to increase value to our shareholders in the
future. For example, we divested our interest in the Eloff Mine and Kendal Mine in South Africa, both held by Homeland,
on account of the lack of infrastructure to evacuate coal from South Africa to India, as a result of which, a majority of the
coal produced from these mines was sold domestically in South Africa.
As part of our effort to diversify our asset base, we are pursuing a long-term growth objective of focusing on our hydro
and renewable power projects. In particular, we have completed financial closure of Bajoli Holi Power Project, a 180
MW run-of-the-river power facility being constructed in the state of Himachal Pradesh and issued the notice to proceed.
We are working on the financial closure of our Alaknanda Power Project, a 300 MW run-of-the-river power facility to be
constructed in the state of Uttarakhand, and we have entered into a joint development agreement with the International
Finance Corporation (the “IFC”) to develop the Upper Marsyangdi-2 Power Project, a 600 MW run-of-the-river power
facility to be constructed in Nepal.

2.1 B2 Strategic Objectives
Considerations
How do your STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES achieve the following?
• address your STRATEGIC CHALLENGES and STRATEGIC
ADVANTAGES
• address your opportunities for INNOVATION in products,
operations, and your business model
• capitalize on your current CORE COMPETENCIES and
address the potential need for new CORE COMPETENCIES
• balance short-and longer-term challenges and opportunities
% Completion
%
• Consider and balance the needs of all KEY STAKEHOLDERS?
• enhance your ability to adapt to sudden shifts in your market
conditions
Strategic Challenges are addressed through Strategic objectives by
leveraging Strategic advantages and Core Competencies. Initiatives
with goals are identified for Strategic objectives which are deployed
through BSC/PDM/A3 sheets. These are finalized through extensive
deliberations in the strategy meet. The linkage of Strategic Objectives
to the Challenges, Advantages, core Competency and opportunities
for innovation is indicated in Fig. OP. 3 and Fig. 2.1-8. The time
horizon based focus over the three year period for the key strategic
objectives, helps in balancing short term and long term challenges and
opportunities.
“Running our business, pressing the 7 ‘levers’ of GMR Business Excellence Model (GBEM) allows
us, as business leaders, to run our business in a holistic manner, focusing on short term priorities
without losing sight of long term goals”
Aniruddha Ganguly
President - Strategy & Development
As part of SPP, Stakeholder needs are captured through various forums (Fig. 2.1-1). These needs are then addressed through relevant corporate
objectives and initiatives for ST/LT. Besides this, GRI-G4 approach, along with BSC used for deployment of Strategy revalidates that all
stakeholders’ interest has been balanced.

The 3 Step Strategy Deployment Process is depicted in Fig. 2.2-1. GMR
Energy develops a rolling 3 year strategic plan which is reviewed each
year. Key changes in the Environment and strategic assumptions are
reviewed in the half yearly and annual reviews by GHB. SBU Specific
Action plans and Initiatives for achieving the Strategic Objectives
are developed based on SBU Strategies discussed during Strategy
Development Process (Fig. 2.1-1). Respective SBUs develops
their own Strategy Deployment plans following PDM approach and
detailed A3 sheets which comprises of Goals, Measures and Action
Plan owners. Goal sheets are formulated to align and integrate the
individuals’ goals vis a vis SBU Targets.
2.2 A2 Action Plan Implementation
2.2 A3 Resource Allocation
How do you DEPLOY ACTION PLANS throughout the
organization to your WORKFORCE and to KEY suppliers and
PARTNERS, as appropriate, to achieve your KEY STRATEGIC
OBJECTIVES? How do you ensure that the KEY outcomes of
your ACTION PLANS can be sustained?
How do you ensure that financial and other resources are
available to support the accomplishment of your strategies and
ACTION PLANS, while meeting current obligations? How do you
allocate these resources to support the accomplishment of the
plans? How do you assess and manage the financial and other
risks associated with the plans to ensure the financial viability
of your organization?
The ST One year plan i.e. Annual Operating plans are broken down
in to monthly targets / milestones (Fig. 2.2-1). These are implemented
by the entire workforce and outsourced partners through the Work
System. Departmental actions are further cascaded to employees
through Individual Goal sheets as described in 2.2 A1. These actions
are implemented through a) Departmental work processes on
an on-going basis b) Initiatives with specific start and end dates c)
deploying policies and frameworks e.g. IMS deployment for Thermal
(Coal) Assets and d) deployment to suppliers and partners (Refer to
outsourcing process described in 6.1-1). Progress on implementation
is tracked and monitored during monthly functional reviews, BCM
Reviews, GCM Reviews and during half yearly and annually conducted
GHB reviews. The outcomes from implementing the above actions
are sustained through 6 Thrust areas so as to reinforce Customer
and Business focus through high performance 1) Top Management
Action Focus (Fig. 1.1-11), 2) Skill & Competency Building through
L&D Mechanisms (Fig. 5.2-8), 3) Performance Reviews (Fig. 4.1-7)
followed by process improvement, 4) Cross Functional involvement for
accelerated learning (Ref. 5.2 A2) 5)Implementation of Improvement
Projects (7 STEP Methodology) (Fig. 7.1.92, Fig. 7.1.93, Fig. 7.1.94),
6) R&R for the workforce to reinforce improved actions (Fig. 5.2-4)
GMR Energy follows a “bottoms-up” approach for resource allocation
to accomplish the strategic objectives. The Strategic plan captures key
actions and responsible person for initiating necessary actions in order
to achieve the respective SBUs strategic objectives. Each Function
within SBU evaluates the resource requirement in terms of both:
Human Capital and Financial Plan which is reviewed during various
stages of AOP Discussions and approved by SBU Head, BCM &
GHB. The business steering committee also reviews the consolidated
resource requirements for the business and makes the adjustments
considering the business priorities and availability of resources. Once
the AOP is approved by the board, it is assured that the planned
resources are made available to the respective functions for execution
of the action plans. Status of the resource allocations are reviewed
periodically every month / quarter depending upon their criticality in
order to ensure that they are made available as per plan. Any changes
in the strategy and resource requirements lead to a review of the HR
and finance strategy as well. Fig. 2.2-2 explains the financial resource
planning and allocation process.
Fig. 2.2-2 Financial Resource Planning
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
61
The strategic plan covers the portfolio analysis to assess the value of the operating assets & on-going projects. Risks arising out of our Operations,
Projects and Other Corporate processes are assessed through Risk Management Methodology (Fig. 2.2-3) under ERM Framework.
Fig. 2.2-3 Risk Management Methodology
The Internal Audit and ERM Framework paves the way for sustained
financial viability and business performance on strategic objectives
and action plans.
2.2 A4 Workforce Plans
What are your KEY human resources or WORKFORCE plans
to accomplish your short- and longer-term STRATEGIC
OBJECTIVES and ACTION PLANS? How do the plans address
potential impacts on your WORKFORCE members and any
potential changes to WORKFORCE CAPABILITY and CAPACITY
needs?
HR Function undertakes its own (Fig. 2.1-1) environment scan which
addresses potential impacts both in terms of capacity and capability of
the workforce. This input to the SPP translates into Strategic Objectives
at Sector level under L&D perspective and accordingly HR Objectives
along with HR ST and LT Action plans are mapped. Fig. 2.2-4 shows
the Sector HR Strategic initiatives supported by LT & ST Plans.
2.2 A5 Performance Measures
What are your KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES or INDICATORS
for tracking the achievement and EFFECTIVENESS of your
ACTION PLANS? How do you ensure that your overall
ACTION PLAN measurement system reinforces organizational
ALIGNMENT? How do you ensure that the measurement system
covers all KEY DEPLOYMENT areas and STAKEHOLDERS?
SBU Specific Strategic Objectives, Strategic Initiatives, Measures, and
targets assigned are included in SBU Head’s Balanced Score Card.
62
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
The BSC’s are then cascaded through detailed PDMs (For Officers
directly reporting to SBU Head including Key Functional Heads) and is
further supported by A3 sheets ensuring alignment across levels. The
Cascading methodology ensures that the Annual Operating Plans for
SBU is cascaded down to Functional AOPs and further to individual
Goal sheets. The monthly review of these through Review Forums
(Fig. 4.1-7) ensures organizational alignment. Measures are defined at
both the levels i.e. At Sector Level and at SBU level depending upon
nature of action plans. The effectiveness and efficiency of the strategic
planning process itself is measured through 1) Extent of achievement
of targets including AOPs 2) Compliance to SPP Cycle time and 3)
Feedback from stakeholders.
2.2 A6 Action Plan Modification
How do you establish and DEPLOY modified ACTION PLANS if
circumstances require a shift in plans and rapid execution of
new plans?
As has been seen over the past several years, the Energy Sector is not
subject to very rapid and dramatic shifts in market, external / internal
environment and policies. During Half yearly reviews the strategic plans,
progress status and strategic assumptions are reviewed to assess any
shifts and changes in the operating environment. Correspondingly
Strategic Objectives and action plans including measures are modified
accordingly. This methodology ensures that action plans are updated
in context of current business scenarios and enable us to respond to
any significant shift in the strategy.
2.2 B Performance Projection
For the KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES or INDICATORS
identified in 2.2a(5), what are your PERFORMANCE
PROJECTIONS for both your short- and longer-term planning
time horizons? How does your projected PERFORMANCE
on these measures or indicators compare with the projected
PERFORMANCE of your competitors or comparable
organizations? How does it compare with KEY BENCHMARKS,
GOALS, and past PERFORMANCE, as appropriate? If there
are current or projected gaps in PERFORMANCE against your
competitors or comparable organizations, HOW will you address
them?
Our business Strategy consists of the following principal elements:
• Focus on the completion of Power Projects under construction
• Increasing the Operational efficiency and profitability of our Power
Projects.
• Benefit from India’s growth in the power generation sector and
demand for power
• Expand our power asset base by expanding our areas of operation
geographically and diversifying our fuel type.
• Maintain an optimal balance between long-term and short-term
off-take arrangements
• Pursue development and acquisition opportunities to expand as
well as to streamline our business and portfolio of assets.
In FY 15, the focus will be to address all Power evacuation related
bottlenecks, and maximize off-take to ensure seamless supply
of power to DISCOMs/OA Customers. Both the Units of our Coal
based Thermal Project - CTPP will achieve commercial operation.
We are also engaging Global Consultant to help us drive Operational
Excellence at our Thermal Assets, and improve our Cash flows.
Our Gas based Assets may continue to remain under preservation
because of the shortage in Gas Supply. At this point of time, it is
of utmost importance for us to overcome the above constraints in
the shortest possible time, which is also vital for most of our peer
companies in the Power Sector today. We are optimistic that by the
end of FY 15, we shall achieve the stage of steady state operations,
and it will then become imperative for us to Project our Operational
& Financial performance, and start comparing it with our peer
companies in the Industry.

3.1 A1 Listening to Current Customer
3.1 A Customer Listening
How do you listen to CUSTOMERS to obtain actionable
information? How do your listening methods vary for different
CUSTOMERS, CUSTOMER groups, or market SEGMENTS? How
do you use social media and web-based technologies to listen to
CUSTOMERS, as appropriate? How do your listening methods
vary across the CUSTOMER life cycle? How do you follow
up with CUSTOMERS on the quality of products, CUSTOMER
support, and transactions to receive immediate and actionable
feedback?
GMR Energy sells power generated from its Assets in Long term
markets to DISCOMS. Medium term and Short term markets constitute
20% of electricity sold in India, and Long term constitutes the balance.
Period of Long term contract varies from 7 years to 25 years, Medium
term contract varies from 1 year to 7 year, and Short term contract
varies from 1 hour to 1 year. The surplus power available from GMR
Energy assets after the Long Term PPA tie up commitment, and third
party assets is sold under medium/short term market through GMRETL,
The current customer life cycle is defined in three stages:

As a key element of Customer centricity, we have various touch points
to listen/interact and observe customers as detailed in Fig. 3.1-1 &
3.1-2 which enumerates action-ability on Service Offerings, Customer
Support and Transactions across Short term and Long term market
segments. The inputs gathered through various learning and listening
mechanisms differ in Qualitative Aspects (e.g. Market offerings in terms
of pricing, trading margin etc.) and Quantitative Aspects (Emerging
market trends, Volumes, Future potential etc.) to understand segment
specific needs. These inputs are further analyzed to improve our
offerings and support mechanisms. Teams for Sales, Operations and
Customer Support (PPA Management) are deployed to ensure regular

3.1 A2 Listening to Potential, Competitor
& Former Customer
How do you listen to former CUSTOMERS, potential
CUSTOMERS, and CUSTOMERS of competitors to obtain
actionable information and to obtain feedback on your current
and future products, CUSTOMER support, and transactions, as
appropriate?
A long Term market is highly tenured, and involves dealing with one
single customer only – (State Utilities/DISCOM) for consistently steady
and long period. Long Term Markets are not as volatile and emerging
as short term markets in terms of Pricing, Margin, Volumes, and
Opportunities. Hence the concept of Potential, Former, and Customers

of Competitors for GMR Energy is more pertinent to opportunities
that prevail in Short Term Power Market. Thus, as described in Fig.
3.1-3 various approaches to listen to potential and customers of
competitors to obtain actionable information to improve the current
and future service offerings are for these customers in Short Term
Market. Feedback gathered through the below mechanisms are
used to comprehend the aspects of pricing, service, geography that
differentiates GMR Energy from the Competition in this market. This
helps us understand and analyze critical parameters that need specific
improvement in future offerings, support mechanisms, and transaction
methods (e.g. offering competitive tariffs and trading margins). GMR
Energy continuously interacts with Govt. Bodies, State Electricity
bodies to acquire new franchisees.

3.1 B Determination of customer
satisfaction and engagement
3.1 B1 Satisfaction and Engagement
How do you determine CUSTOMER satisfaction and
ENGAGEMENT? How do these determination methods differ
among CUSTOMER groups and market SEGMENTS, as
appropriate? How do your measurements capture actionable
information for use in exceeding your CUSTOMERS’ expectations
and securing your CUSTOMERS’ ENGAGEMENT?
Customer Satisfaction and Engagement is determined for Short term
and Long term Customers on Service offerings and Customer support.
Feedback is obtained for complete life cycle and is carried out on
an annual basis. The methodology is shown in Fig. 3.1-4, it involves
identification of key drivers and attributes impacting satisfaction and
engagement.

Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
Usage for Improvement in Offering, Customer
Support and Transactions
- Provide more competitive offers
- Provide locational advantage
- Improvement in customer interaction frequency and
multilevel interactions
- Operationalization of regional offices for power trading
to tap potential market and thereby enhance customer
base
- Launched Franchisee model to increase customer’s
base
- Improve our offerings. E.g. . One of the USP for
enhancing the cliental base in WR was supply from
EMCO assuring higher availability being in the same
region
- Offer competitive tariffs and trading margins
- Increase in customer interactions
Fig. 3.1-4 Customer Satisfaction and Engagement
Measurement
These surveys are designed and administered in-house. Based
on the feedback received from the BE External Assessment, as an
improvement this year, an independent internal committee was
constituted to ensure element of objectivity in the survey. Also, separate
survey questionnaires were developed for OA customers (Exchange
and Bilateral) to ensure specific focus on needs and requirements
of these segments. Information collected through these surveys is
aggregated across customer segments, and analyzed for identifying
specific improvement areas.
Similar approach is used to determine Customer satisfaction and
engagement for Long term customers for our G&L assets (GPCL &
GVPGL), however the same could not be carried out for FY14 as these
assets were negligibly running, and were under preservation. For
Thermal assets (EMCO & GKEL) similar approach would be deployed
in the current year as they have just started to achieve operational
stability. C Sat Survey outcomes, BE Assessment OFI’s and internal
review of Customer Satisfaction & Engagement measurement
processes are used to trigger improvements as indicated in Fig. 3.1-5

3.1 B2 Satisfaction relative to
Competitors
The Key Relationship Managers analyzes the complaints not resolved
within stipulated timelines, and suggests modification in the processes
so as to meet and exceed the customer expectation accordingly.
How do you obtain information on your CUSTOMERS’ satisfaction
relative to their satisfaction with your competitors? How do you
obtain information on your CUSTOMERS’ satisfaction relative to
the satisfaction levels of CUSTOMERS of other organizations
providing similar products or to industry BENCHMARKS, as
appropriate?
3.2 Customer Engagement
There is no industry level data available on customer satisfaction to
understand the specific trends and do benchmarking in results, however
an effort has been made to capture feedback on relative satisfaction
of our customers with competitors through C Sat feedback form
(against the same set of performance standards across customer life
cycle). Also customer feedback captured through informal approaches
like Meetings, Interactions, and Visits etc. is used to improve on
various customer support processes like Bidding, Operations, Billing
and Payment, considering services offered by competitors to OA
customers. For e.g. Power Trading Regional office was established in
Hyderabad to strengthen relationship with State Utilities based on the
feedback shared by few OA Clients from southern region (TN and AP).
This has helped in expediting issuance of NOC by State Utilities for
corridor booking. Similarly we also learnt from one of our OA client that
GMR documentation process for early billing is relatively more efficient
than the other Trading companies.
How do you identify CUSTOMER and market requirements
for product offerings and services? How do you identify and
innovate product offerings to meet the requirements and
exceed the expectations of your CUSTOMER groups and market
SEGMENTS (identified in your Organisational Profile)? How do
you identify and innovate product offerings to enter new markets,
to attract new CUSTOMERS, and to provide opportunities
for expanding relationships with existing CUSTOMERS, as
Appropriate? What are your new product offerings and changes
to CUSTOMER support added in recent years?
3.1 B3 Dissatisfaction
How do you determine CUSTOMER dissatisfaction? How do
your measurements capture actionable information for use in
meeting your CUSTOMERS’ requirements and exceeding their
expectations in the future?
Feedback from various touch points, customer meets, visits, repeat
complaints, complaints escalation, and loss of key customers indicates
the dissatisfaction levels of customers. These points are being
reviewed by Dept. Head during regular review meetings; detailed root
cause analysis is carried out to identify critical improvement areas
impacting the key service offerings and customer support. Based on
the same, action plans for implementation are identified and assigned.
3.2 A Product offerings and Customer
Support
3.2 A1 Product Offerings
GMR Energy (Power Trading) identifies customers and market
requirements based on key requirements of customers, which
are quantity of purchase/sale of power, period of purchase/sale of
power, historic data of customer regarding purchase/sale of power,
competitive price for sale/purchase of power and scanning the market
conditions (Fig. 3.2-1). We identify the requirements of customers
and offer them reliable power at competitive price based on period of
supply, market rates, and flexible contractual terms. We also provide
market intelligence to customers about the rate, and availability/
requirement of power so as to facilitate them in taking quick decisions
regarding purchase/sale of power. To enter into new market, we
study the historic sale/purchase of power by that customer, financial
capability of the customer, and explore opportunity for sale/purchase of
power to customer in future at competitive pricing. We have dedicated
Service Relationship Manager assigned to all our customers/clients
selling/buying power through us across customer life cycle. We also
have dedicated teams for marketing/sales, contractual compliances,
commercial settlement, and collecting feedback from customers to
support them across entire life cycle.

3.2 A2 Customer Support
How do you enable CUSTOMERS to seek information and
CUSTOMER support? How do you enable them to conduct
their business with you and provide feedback on your current
and future products and your CUSTOMER support? What are
your KEY means of CUSTOMER support, including your KEY
communication mechanisms? How do they vary for different
CUSTOMERS, CUSTOMER groups, or market SEGMENTS?
How do you determine your CUSTOMERS’ KEY support
requirements? How do you ensure that CUSTOMER support
requirements are DEPLOYED to all people and PROCESSES
involved in CUSTOMER SUPPORT?
We offer Customer Support across customer life cycle
including support for seeking information, conducting business,
and collecting feedback as shown in Fig. 3.2-3. Support
and communication requirements are determined through
segregation of Voice of Customer (Fig. 3.1-1, 3.1-2). We identify
the requirements of customers and offer them reliable power at
competitive price based on period of supply, market rates, and
flexible contractual terms. We also provide market intelligence
to customers about rate and availability / requirement of power
to enable them conduct business with us. These requirements,
along with feedback from customers, survey findings and BE
Assessment findings are used to improve customer support
processes.

How do you use CUSTOMER, market, and product offering
information to identify current and anticipate future CUSTOMER
groups and market SEGMENTS? How do you consider
CUSTOMERS of competitors and other potential CUSTOMERS
and markets in this segmentation? How do you determine which
CUSTOMERS, CUSTOMER groups, and market SEGMENTS to
pursue for current and future products?
GMR Energy identifies current and future market segments (Fig.
3.2-4) based on emerging business needs. During the annual
Strategic planning process, business needs are analyzed and
information is used to identify present, potential and future
market segments, also listening data collected from various
mechanisms (Fig. 3.1-1, 3.1-2) are segregated, collated and
analyzed to study customer insights. The information collated

are evaluated on pan-India basis through opportunity scan.
The power sale strategy is determined based on the financial
stability of state utilities, demand, location of our plants,
power surplus/deficit scenario, political scenario, transmission
feasibility, competitor analysis, power purchasing capability for
both long term and medium term. Customer segments have
evolved accordingly, as an outcome of Market intelligence
research reports. In FY13, REC Generators segment was
added to tap opportunities of trading in REC Certificates
through Power Exchange (IEX, Power Exchange of India
Limited) of which we are the registered Trader, and authorized
to trade on behalf of Generators and Consumers. Similarly in
FY14, ‘Other Traders’ was added as one of the segments to
support our growth plans based on the future outlook.

3.2 B Building Customer Relationships
3.2 B1 Relationship Management
How do you market, build and manage relationships with
CUSTOMERS to achieve following?
• Acquire CUSTOMERS and build market share
• Retain CUSTOMERS, meet their requirements and exceed
their expectations in each stage of the CUSTOMER life cycle
• Increase their ENGAGEMENT with you?
The Customer Engagement and relationship building starts
with 1) Business Development and Customer Acquisition
2) Post Acquisition 3) Final/Yearly settlement. Specific
activities during these stages (as indicated in Fig. 3.2-6) aim
to create a supportive and positive response while striving to
meet and exceed customer expectations, which helps us to
sustain loyalty, enhance repeat business, and seek positive
referrals. For e.g. deployment of Key relationship manager,
setting up of regional trading offices ensures that Voice of
Customers is used to respond to Customers views and drive
initiatives and improvements across functions in order to
meet their requirements. Our overall BD strategy in Trading,
is conceptualized, and aligned with specific customer needs
for e.g. Facilitating Banking of Power at Competitive terms for
Long Term Customers, Flexibility on commercial aspects –
Rebates, payment schedule etc. for Short term- Open Access
customers, to acquire new customers in the Acquisition stage.
At operational levels, Customer focused measures get built
into Goal sheets/KRAs of all key employees in Customer
value chain – (Trading, PPA Management, and Assets Team).
Feedback from Customers, obtained through surveys, field
visits, customer meets etc. is analyzed for identifying areas
for improving the extent of Customer Engagement level.
Following improvements have been made lately to strengthen
relationship building with all our Customer groups – 1) Creation
of PPA Management Team to ensure strong interface with Long
Term Customers – State Utilities, 2) Setting up of Regional
offices to support Short term OA Customers, and 3) Assigning
dedicated point of contact across Customer life cycle, to listen
to them, and support their requirements

3.2 B2 Complaint Management
How do you manage customer complaints? How does your
CUSTOMER complaint management PROCESS ensure that
complaints are resolved promptly and EFFECTIVELY? How does
your CUSTOMER complaint management PROCESS enable you
to recover your CUSTOMERS confidence, and enhance their
satisfaction and ENGAGEMENT?
Our Complaint management system helps us to manage,
resolve and communicate complaints across Customer groups
for all the Customer life cycle stages as indicated in fig. 3.27. We have a dedicated person to manage, aggregate and
analyze complaints from various sources for speedy resolution.
Long term PPA – State Utilities:
A Complaint register is maintained for logging Complaints
received through Fax, E mails from State Utilities. These are
aggregated by the Site Planning Team, and assigned to the
concerned department for necessary action. Nodal points are
defined for receiving Complaints of different natures viz. LDC,
Daily Exchange operation and Actual Energy Billing.
The nominated person also keeps the Plant Head informed
on the closure of Complaints, ageing and progress from time
to time. All the complaints are analyzed for corrective action
as appropriate in the areas of load dispatch, maintenance
schedules, protection coordination for relays, tripping. The
Fig. 3.2-7 Complaint Management Process
72
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
Plant Head closely monitors the progress on closure, supports
implementation of corrective action and ensures timely
feedback to the State utilities on status of Complaints [Refer
Fig. 3.2-7].
Short Term – Open Access Customers:
For, Power Trading, customers send their complaints to the
nominated person assigned to them across Customer life, or
service relationship managers directly through e mail/fax. All
complaints received are registered in “Complaint Register” and
assigned to the concerned department for necessary action.
Customers are also encouraged to register their complaints
on website www.gmrenergytrading.in.This acts as a fast track
window for immediate closure. All the complaints are analyzed
for corrective action as appropriate in the areas of contracts,
Scheduling, billing & payment for Power Trading. In case of
complaints from key customers, Sr. leaders meet customers
to enhance their confidence and ensure seamless support on
their requirements. [Refer Fig. 3.2-7].
Along with customer complaints register, GMR (Power Trading)
also maintains an error register for registering all the errors
highlighted by the Customers while conducting business.
Errors are analyzed and process revisions are made based
on the learning’s and improvements made in the areas of
Operations & Maintenance to improve the service offerings.

Performance
4.1 A Performance Measurement
4.1 A1 Performance Measures
How do you select, collect, align, and integrate data and
information for tracking daily operations overall organizational
PERFORMANCE including progress relative to STRATEGIC
OBJECTIVES and ACTION PLANS? What are your KEY
organizational PERFORMANCE MEASURES, including KEY
short-term and longer-term financial MEASURES? How
frequently do you track these MEASURES? How do you use
these data and information to support organizational decision
making and INNOVATION?
Our Performance Measurement system is described in Fig 4.11. Strategic objectives and their key Performance measures
are identified through Strategic Planning Process. Detailed
Action Plans along with targets, owners, and KPIs are prepared
and deployed through A3 sheets to achieve these objectives.
Daily operations are carried out and managed through Work
system & Work processes (Fig.6.1-2 & 6.2-2) and efficiency
and effectiveness measures (Fig. 6.2-2). Data related to all
KPIs are selected for measurement through Data Selection
Process (Fig.4.1-2), to assess the overall and daily operations
performance including safety and climate change. Process
related data is captured through Plant DCS, SAP, OSI-PI,
BPC, then aggregated and integrated into relevant KPIs which
are reported through MIS to various stakeholders. These
information and reports are analyzed and reviewed to assess
the organizations daily and overall performance (Fig.4.1-7 and
8) and to take suitable preventive and corrective actions to
improve the same.
Fig. 4.1-1 Performance Measurement System
Gaps between planned and actual levels of Performance are
the triggers for decision making, improvements, breakthrough
ideas and innovations (Fig. 4.1-3). The integrated data is used
for decision making at the operational, business and corporate
level. Data from the External sources and non- automated
systems is captured manually, from established independent
and external agencies. For example, data on Employee
Engagement is collected by External agency like Gall Up, and
coordinated by HR group, Information about Industry outlook,
Market and Competition by Bloomberg, Data on Org Structure
and Design by McKinsey, Job Analysis and Design by Hay
Group, Design Engineering & Project Planning by Geo Data
(Owners Engineers for BH Hydro Project) /Technical Advisory
Committee. This ensures reliability, integrity and accuracy of
data and information.

Sector & SBU strategy. Our key operational Performance
parameters are compared with best in class industry data (Fig.
4.1-4) provided by the Regulatory bodies both, for our Thermal,
and Gas based Assets. McKinsey has been engaged to help
us carve out GMR way of Project Execution Excellence under
Project Bhavyatha, and to support us on major organizational
redesign exercise. We are currently working with Hay’
Group on Job Evaluation & Design to enable consistent and
comprehensive role documentation of unique roles in the
organization. Based on the Energy Audit conducted by CII
recently, specific areas of improvement have been identified to
optimize the Energy consumption.
Fig. 4.1-4 Selection and Usage of Comparative Data
NIST, the spearhead of EHS course provider in India, has been
engaged to drive behavioral based safety programs (based
on NEBOSH standards of Safety Excellence) at our Thermal
Assets. For our Gas based Assets under Preservation, a
community of practice, aimed at sharing of learning’s/best
practices internally on Equipment Testing, Cost management
etc. has been initiated to leverage optimally. Fig. 4.1-5 reflects
usage of comparative data across Key Functions for supporting
Decision making and Innovation.

4.1 A3 Customer Data
How do you select and ensure the EFFECTIVE use of VOICE-OFTHE-CUSTOMER data and information (including complaints)
to support operational and strategic decision making and
INNOVATION?
As mentioned in 3.2 A4, Customer data (Fig. 3.1-1, 3.1-2 & 3.13) for Daily, Operational and Strategic impacts (Fig. 4.1-3) are
mapped in SAP – SD and integrated with various reviews for
driving improvements. The Customer requirements, findings,
market study/research, satisfaction/ dissatisfaction feedbacks
from different relationship mechanism (Fig 3.2-5) including
Websites (GMRETL/State), Print media including Comparative
industry data on pricing, volume and other service offerings is
evaluated for making improvements thereby providing a scope

4.1 A4 Measurement Agility
How do you ensure that your PERFORMANCE measurement
system is able to respond to rapid or unexpected organizational
or external changes?
To keep the Performance measurement system current with
business needs and direction, the relevance of the key measures
are reviewed. As conditions change internally/externally, a new
measure is added, or existing measure is dropped or targets
of existing measures be revised. PMS (Fig. 5.2-3) is guided
by SPP (Fig. 2.1-1). Risk Assessment and management
methodology (Fig. 2.2-3) helps to elicit risk perceptions on
unexpected changes that might arise due to internal/external
changes that have bearing on business and customers’ related
performance. Strategic and operational functional reviews at
Sector/SBU level, mid-term strategy reviews by GHB also
encompass expected/unexpected internal or external changes
in regulatory requirements (SERC/CERC guidelines), Policy
matters in Power sector, Funding requirements, etc. These
approaches lead to potential improvements, learning and
innovation which are incorporated in our services, processes
and business models through Performance Improvement
system (Fig OP.17) Further, in order to improve the reach,
range, and effectiveness of the Performance Measurement
system, IT infrastructure, systems and processes are regularly
reviewed. Implementation of SAP, BPC, Legal Portal, and
Intranet help to keep our Performance Measurement system
current and sensitive to unexpected changes.
4.1 B Performance analysis and review
How do you review organizational PERFORMANCE and
capabilities? How do you use your KEY organizational
PERFORMANCE MEASURES in these reviews? What ANALYSIS
do you perform to support these reviews and to ensure that
conclusions are valid? How do you use these reviews to assess
organizational success, competitive PERFORMANCE, financial
health, and progress relative to STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
and ACTION PLAN? How do you use these reviews to assess
your organization’s ability to respond rapidly to changing
organizational needs and challenges in your operating
environment?
The organizational Performance Measures and Capability
Analysis (Fig.4.1-6) are reviewed at various levels. These
reviews ensure focus on Strategic objectives and Action
Plan accomplishment (Fig. 4.1-7).The conclusions made in
the various reviews are validated in SBU/BCM/GHB reviews.
Based on the Governance system (Fig. 1.2-1), the Board
(GHB) and Committees of the Board, reviews the performance
of the organization and progress against targets on half yearly
basis, including safety.
Fig. 4.1-6 Performance Review and Capability Analysis
An Action taken Report/ Progress Report forms the basis of ensuring that agreed actions are being taken and closed systematically.
Management Assurance Group, nominated by the Board, is an independent body which carries out fiscal Audits, reviews DoP
compliance for the sector, and identifies improvement opportunities to bridge gap between the Actual and desired Performance.

4.1 C Performance Improvement
4.1 C1 Best-Practice Sharing
How do you use PERFORMANCE review findings to share
lessons learned and best practices across organizational units
and WORK PROCESSES?
The best practices arising out of Performance Reviews are
discussed and shared with concerned Process owners. Concept
of ‘Learning Capture format’ and ‘Technical Advisory’ has been
launched in FY 14 by Capability Center in conjunction with
BE Team, to methodically capture the Learning’s emanating
from Operational Review Meetings for Thermal Assets.
Specific Incidents, be it maintenance, or Operations related,
endangering the desired Plant Performance are assigned to
the respective Process owner for carrying out detailed root
cause analysis, working out Corrective and Preventive Action,
and capturing key Learning’s. These learning are uploaded on
the KM portal and available to larger community for sharing and
reuse, as appropriate. ‘Technical Advisory’ aids implementation
of best practices across Thermal Assets. Similarly, based on
the Gas & Liquid Performance Review findings, a community
of Practice on Gas & Liquid has been initiated to share best
practices being followed at Gas based Assets on Equipment
testing, preservation and cost containment. Besides this, based
on the directive from GHB, Initiatives like Project Paani and
Bijlee have assumed emphatic significance at Group level on
IMS Certification at EMCO & GKEL, Monthly
ORM’s, SAP PM & MM Module Go live
sharing of best practices on Water and Energy conservation.
Accordingly, EMCO has identified 11 Projects on Energy, and
2 on Water conservation which are being implemented with
complete rigor and focus.
4.1 C2 Future Performance
How do you use PERFORMANCE review findings and
KEY comparative and competitive data to project future
PERFORMANCE?
Schedule Performance Reviews (Fig. 4.1-7) are done to
review functional and organization performance on Corporate/
Functional BSC measures and initiatives which primarily
focuses on the present, future and assess the requirements/
gaps for the future performance.
4.1 C3 Continuous Improvement and
Innovation
How do you use organizational PERFORMANCE review
findings to develop priorities for continuous improvement and
opportunities for INNOVATION? How are these priorities and
opportunities DEPLOYED to work group and functional-level
operations throughout your organization? When appropriate,
HOW are the priorities and opportunities DEPLOYED to your
suppliers, PARTNERS, and COLLABORATORS to ensure
organizational ALIGNMENT?
“Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves – to break
our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today”
G Subbarao
CEO Corporate Affairs
Improvement/Innovation is an important focus area for the
organization which is also reflected and reinforced through
our Strategic themes: 1) Profitability 2) Liquidity 3) Structure
& Process. Sector BSC, SBU Heads – BSC & PDMs are
accordingly aligned and cascaded down to Functional BSC/
Individual Goal sheets/KRAs. Based on the findings of various
Performance reviews (Fig 4.1-7 & 4.1-8) and other inputs,
through its improvement process (Fig. 6.2-3), opportunities
and innovations are created through following approaches: 1)
Deployment of Annual BE Roadmaps for all SBUs 2) Provide
Tools (7 STEP Methodology), Techniques (SLAs, SIPOC),
and Team Approaches (CIP Teams) for effective deployment
80
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
of improvement Plans 3) Identify improvements in various
processes – (Project Bhavyatha - Hydro/Bulls Eye – GKEL/
EHS/IMS/Stage Gate Audits) 4) Roll out of Improvement
Projects based on specific challenges/opportunities (17 CIPs
across various SBUs were identified and rolled out in FY 14)
5) Sector wide Implementation of Idea Factory to focus on
small improvements 6) Archive Improvement/Innovations
learning into KM Portal ( Learning Capture, Technical Advisory,
Learnings from past Projects – EMCO/InterGen/Island Power/
Financial closure) 7) Engagement with Global Consultants (Our
Partners) like McKinsey, Hay to drive large scale organizational
transformation programs. 8) Providing inputs to suppliers,
partners to ensure their involvement and support aligned with
our business priorities.

4.2 B2 Emergency Availability
In the event of an emergency, HOW do you ensure the continued
availability of hardware and software systems and the continued
availability of data and information to EFFECTIVELY serve
CUSTOMERS and business needs?
To ensure seamless availability of IT Infrastructure during
Emergency, GMR Energy has implemented the Disaster
Recovery System and Business Continuity Plan (BCP). For
all Critical Applications and Servers, 24X7 Support Contracts
have been in place with IT Service Providers. Periodic back
of all systems as defined back up procedure (Fig. 4.2-11) is
carried out. All Critical applications like MS Exchange, SAP
are implemented on H/W cluster with “Auto Failover” system
design feature to ensure high availability of user interfacing
applications. All Application software media and license are kept
at two different places, eliminating risk of damage to software
in case of emergency. For primary use, Central Data Center at
Bangalore is kept under operation. In case of Emergency at
Primary Data center, all IT Operations and support seamlessly
moves on to the Secondary Data Center (DR & Back up) at
Chennai. A Copy of back up media is kept offsite to ensure
the data security and timely retrieval in case of emergency.
To ensure User Data availability, Business Briefcase concepts
have been designed and deployed where in all users across
GMR sites can access a dedicated Network Storage Space
assigned to archive and seamlessly access Business Critical
Information from anywhere.

5. Workforce focus
5.1 Workforce Environment
Our HR Strategy as mentioned in Fig. 2.2-4 is formulated
based on our Business strategy to support culture of high
performance aligned with our Vision & Values, and to provide
an effective, safe and secure working environment to all our
Employees for achieving ST & LT organizational goals. With
the aim of deploying Group’s revised “Asset Light Asset
Right” business strategy, a multi-pronged approach focused
on People, process & technology has been adopted, aimed
at driving much greater efficiency and productivity across
the sector. HR Council has been formulated in FY14 to set
strategic direction and establish priorities for HR professionals
across GMR Energy to support SBU objectives. This is being
deployed through our HR system as depicted in Fig. 5.1-1.

5.1 A1 Capability and capacity
How do you assess your WORKFORCE CAPABILITY and
CAPACITY needs, including skills, competencies, and staffing
levels?
Assessment of workforce Capability and Capacity is done using
the process given in Fig. 5.1-2. Manpower Planning, as part of
AOP process involves – 1) Arriving at SBU wise requirements
based on ST and LT business priorities, 2) Validation by Work
design Team,3) Approval by GHB. This leads to formation of
Human Capital Plan for BHR to initiate Hiring process and
filling of approved vacancies. Workforce Capability needs
are identified through a combination of methods ranging from
PMP, IDP, Hay Competency Framework, O & M curriculum for
Employees transitioning from Projects to O&M.
5.1 A2 New workforce members
How do you recruit, hire, place, and retain new members of
your WORKFORCE? How do you ensure your WORKFORCE
represents the diverse ideas, cultures, and thinking of your
hiring and CUSTOMER community?
The Recruitment process focuses on developing Talent pipeline.
Lateral Entrants with specialized skill sets are hired from
diverse sectors through applications received on the Company
web site, tie-up with Placement agencies, Internal Job postings
and Employee Referrals. Placement of lateral entry recruits
is done on the basis of organizational requirement emerging
from ‘Sanctioned- Positioned-Vacancy’ analysis, keeping in
view the qualifications, past experience and specialization.
To ensure inclusion of Diversity in terms knowledge, gender,
culture, region, Recruitment is done across the country and
aligned to the role requirements. For instance, at Project sites,
there is more emphasis on local hiring based on their fitment,
skill level, and suitability for the role. Buddy system helps new
joiners imbibe the organizational culture. Customized Induction
program is designed based on geography and workforce group
to assimilate the employees to new working environment. For.
E.g. GMR Darshan for AVP & above employees. Deployment
of Online Hire-craft Tool, introduction of pre-employment
background verification has led to improvement in Recruitment
cycle time and yield. Various mechanisms, processes and
initiatives that have been put in place for higher retention of
new joiners includes: (a) Competency based placement, (b)
Well defined Job Descriptions (Hay Outcome), (c) Buddy to
handhold and guide them (d) Periodic interactions with HR,
(e) Career growth path indicating management expectations,
(f) Cross functional orientation (g) Challenging projects, (h)
linkage of remuneration with performance (i) Development
initiatives, (j) Open communication Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14

While our business was all set to take a major leap to the next level of maturity, we were confronted with multiple challenges of a
volatile global economy, uncertainty in regulatory and policy environment, fuel shortages, poor financial health of DISCOMs and many
more. Given these changes in the business environment and transition from project phase to operations phase, it was felt essential to
align our organization structure to focus on speed of decision making, profitability, liquidity and capability building. So an organization
re-design initiative was undertaken with McKinsey, based on the principle of Strategic Business Units (SBUs) to ensure:
• Tight linkage between structure and business portfolio, pointing towards high level of performance orientation
• Sharp focus on accountability with complete ownership of cost heads and revenue heads
• Flat and lean structure to ensure high sense of empowerment, quick decision making ability and decision points brought down to
where the action is
• Matrix relationships (dual reporting) as key enablers and expert support; reporting to Group Corporate for support functions as
before
• Robust governance mechanism to ensure appropriate checks and balances for key processes
• Current strengths and capabilities preserved
The organization is structured into 5 SBUs and 3 major functions spread across multiple sites/locations. Hay Group has been engaged
to carry out a comprehensive Job Evaluation study to ensure 1) Finalization of Job Descriptions for all the unique roles 2) Evaluation
of Roles/Jobs across the Group 3) Finalization of Banding /Grading framework for the Group, including Technical and Managerial
Bands 4) Carrying out Organization Efficiency Analysis 5) Assessing employees fitment to the roles through: a) CTR (Capability Talent
Review) & Talent Q for GM, AGM & below. The workforce is organized into our own employees; contract workmen supervised by
contractors’ supervisors, and outsourced services.
The individual members of our management team have significant experience in the power industry and have a strong understanding
of the financial and technical aspects of our business. Our key managerial personnel have, on average, over 30 years of experience
in the power sector. We invest substantial resources in training our workforce. We also have an in-house knowledge management
program and invest extensively in environmental health and safety initiatives in our offices and at our power project sites. In addition,
we have developed in-house engineering and project management teams dedicated to our thermal and hydroelectric power projects
under development, which provide engineering and consulting services to such power projects. For instance, our in-house engineering
and project management teams have undertaken the designing and engineering of hydroelectric power projects, such as Bajoli Holi,
Alaknanda, Talong, Upper Marsyangdi-2, and Upper Karnali Power Projects. We believe these factors contribute significantly to our
ability to attract and retain talent.

5.1 A4 Workforce Change Management
How do you prepare your WORKFORCE for changing CAPABILITY and CAPACITY needs? How do you manage your WORKFORCE,
its needs, and your needs to ensure continuity, prevent WORKFORCE reductions, and to minimize the impact of WORKFORCE
reductions, if they do become necessary? How do you prepare for and manage periods of WORKFORCE growth?
The approaches for workforce change management are given in Fig 5.1-4. Recruitments, Transfers / Job Rotations /Enhancements
and Training, build capacity and capabilities in the workforce to take on business challenges to achieve organizational vision. For
e.g. P & L Training for Plant Heads, ELP for Key employees in GM & above cadre, Visit of O & M team to China for securing supply
of essential spares. Employees are constantly provided with opportunities to handle more responsibilities and increase scope of
work through Job enhancement, training, Job rotation, and nominations as BE Champions. To address workforce and business
needs we constantly endeavor to up skill/retrain employees so that they can be redeployed for new roles. For e.g. Employees
from Projects have been redeployed to O & M, and from PTS have been redeployed to Projects, Capability Centre based on their
expertise and suitability for the role. During relocations basic requirements like travel, movement expenses, help for housing and
children education are taken care of.

For e.g. Benefits extended to all Employees transferred
from Thermal Coal Assets, and Corporate Functions, from
Bangalore to Delhi office (based on specific business need).
Performance issues are addressed through a PIP process
which ensures that capability gaps are identified, specific
support provided, and employees are retained. With the above
initiatives, the main focus is to ensure that the organization is
optimally staffed and hence the sanctioned manpower levels
are adhered to.
5.1 B Workforce Climate
5.1 B1 Workplace Environment
How do you address workplace environmental factors including
accessibility, to ensure and improve WORKFORCE health, safety,
and security? What are your PERFORMANCE MEASURES and
improvement GOALS for each of these WORKFORCE needs?
What are any significant differences in these factors and
PERFORMANCE MEASURES or targets for different workplace
environments?
GMR’s environmental, health and safety (EHS) governance structure is designed to help the organization realize its vision, implement
its EHSQ policy, achieve its goals and help create long-term business value for the company. This includes contributing to GMR’s
sustainability strategies and processes.
GMR believes in integrating strong EHS management practices into its industrial enterprises across all business operations. Each
business enterprise has been covered under stupendously articulated Corporate Environmental, Health, Safety & Quality (EHSQ)
Policy. Sustainable practices reduce risks to life and property, and improve system efficiency which helps to conserve natural
resources. When such practices become institutionalized, they reduce costs. Several unique schemes have been implemented to
prevent pollution and conserve natural resources to achieve sustainable development.
The Company is aggressively implementing national policies, regulation and objectives in EHS Management and Pollution Control
measures. Continuous efforts are laid to build the strong foundation towards EHS excellence in all its operations.
The governance system ensures the compliance to the EHS regulatory requirements through conducting regular EHS Audits. The
organization works with a diverse group of internal and external stakeholders to address emerging EHS issues and related business
challenges. Our governance framework and effective management systems enable us to ensure that management of risk and
regulatory compliance are overseen at the highest levels of the company.
With our Corporate EHSQ Policy as the foundation, implementation of EHS framework across all sites ensures the effectiveness of
implementation of EHS systems and processes.
Key Guiding Principles
Top management focus:
• Organization leaders shall ensure establishment of EHS consciousness and culture, in all business activities
• EHS shall be among the top most priorities of Business Leaders in Project Site or Operating Plants
Clear accountabilities:

field of behavioral safety, shall be conducted.
• Gate pass to the contract workers shall be issued based on their awareness certification. All contractor workers will be under
critical observation for their action/behavior on the job. Any shortcoming observed in respect of safety will necessarily send the
worker to the Refresher/Re-certification course on awareness for at least 3 days.
EHS team:
• Shall focus on core activities with technical expertise, analytical rigor, and shall have a strong working relationship with “the line”
• Shall conduct audits, lead continuous process improvements and report out with analysis
Line management:
• Shall be responsible and accountable for overall EHS performance
• Performance management systems must be tailored to achieve the objectives of EHS management.
EHS performance management:
• Project / plant EHS team shall be vigilant about all EHS non-conformances, and act upon all areas of improvement promptly and
coach and train line staff and contractor staff.
• Corporate EHS shall provide guidance and support to Project / Plant in all aspects, in achieving best EHS performance at all
times.
Corporate sustainability focus:
• The entire team shall move towards fulfillment of the Corporate Sustainability requirements in terms of reporting, analysis,
improvements and governance as per GRI G4 guidelines and National Voluntary Guidelines under our GMR Business

5.1 B2 Workforce Policies and Benefits
How do you support your WORKFORCE via policies, services,
and benefits? How are these tailored to the needs of a diverse
WORKFORCE and different WORKFORCE groups and
SEGMENTS?
These policies are regularly visited and modified to incorporate
the changing needs and aspirations of employees through
HR Council at Group level. Company is sensitive to various
sectorial, functional, geographical needs and provisions
are incorporated to cater to such specific needs in terms of
additional facilities and benefits like, Hardship leave, Guest
house, transport facilities, winter uniforms etc.
In line with market practices and changing economic dynamics,
the Group continually reviews and benchmarks its HR policies
to support Employees with various services and benefits
and ensure their optimal utilization. Process for supporting
workforce benefits is shown in Fig. 5.1-7. HR Policy manual
comprising of various HR policies, processes and formats

Fig. 5.2-1 lists various formal and/or Informal methods
for capturing inputs for Satisfaction and Engagement. We
identify key factors which affect employee engagement and
satisfaction by conducting study which involves Focused Group
Discussions across the organization, an external third party
survey, inputs from exit analysis; skip level meetings, Town
Halls, HR Council, HR Connect, etc. For contract workmen an
in-house study at respective sites/locations for determining the
factors for engagement and satisfaction is conducted.

5.2 A2 Organizational Culture
How do you foster an organizational culture that is characterized
by open communication, HIGHPERFORMANCE WORK, and
an engaged WORKFORCE? How do you ensure that your
organizational culture benefits from the diverse ideas, cultures,
and thinking of your WORKFORCE?
Our culture is driven by values and is evident in the transparent
and participative team behavior which has resulted in an
environment of high performance and accountability. In
FY 13, In house EEEC survey (Employee Engagement &
Ethics Culture) was conducted to understand elements of
organizational culture and the employee value proposition. This
was validated with the leadership group of the organization,
followed by detailed Action planning by HOD’s with their
respective Teams to address the survey findings. Transparency
is characterized by open communication which results from
role clarity whereby the individual goals are derived from
corporate goals through SPP, multiple review mechanisms
(Fig. 4.1-7), two way communications by senior leaders (Fig.
1.1-10), Employee Engagement is driven through various
Business Excellence initiatives like CIPs, Theme based Idea
Factory, Implementation of BE Roadmaps for SBUs’, R & R at
Group and Sector level. Besides this, Forums like HR Council
& BE council also provide inputs for Workforce performance
and Engagement. Intranet provides ready information to our
employees on access to policies, important events in the
company, ESS, Idea Factory Portal, KM Portal (Fig. 5.2-2)
“Every job is a self - portrait of the person who does it! Autograph your work with

Diversity—Participative team behavior is fostered through
creation of cross functional forums such as Bull’s Eye at GKEL,
Bhavyatha for Hydro, ORM, Ash Disposal, Coal blending which
are actively involved in the decision making process based
on their diverse expertise, thinking and experiences of each
function. Employees who are recruited locally across regions
foster better understanding of the market and cultural nuances.
The inclusion of participants in these forums is reviewed from
time to time. In addition CIP Teams with cross functional
94
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
representation are formed across sites/locations to tackle
business issues and for Continual Improvement (Fig. 7.1.92-9394). To formalize CIP Team formation, a CIP policy, specifying
roles and responsibilities of Team Lead and Members, is in
place. In the current year, Employee Engagement Initiatives
have been categorized under 5 main pillars of Gallup Q-12
survey viz. Alignment, Motivation, Involvement, Communication
& Development.

5.2 A3 Performance Management
How does your WORKFORCE PERFORMANCE management
system achieve the following?
• support HIGH-PERFORMANCE WORK and WORKFORCE
ENGAGEMENT
• consider WORKFORCE compensation, reward, recognition,
and incentive practices
• reinforce a CUSTOMER and business focus and achievement
of your ACTION PLANS
GMR Energy has an E Enabled PMP system with an objective to
accurately plan, review and evaluate performance (Fig. 5.2-3)
and to identify individual development needs for career growth
and succession planning; incentivize good performance. Based
on 3 year rolling Strategic Plan for the Sector, Annual Operating
Plan for SBUs is finalized, along with BSC for the Sector. In
FY 13, to strengthen the strategy deployment process, Policy
deployment Matrix, and A3 Plans were introduced at SBU Head
level to detail out clear Goals, Measures, Targets, Action Plans,
Timelines, Responsibilities for achieving Strategic objectives.
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
97
Based on the Sector BSC and PDMs, Individual Goals and
KRA’s are identified for all Employees in the Organization. In
order to enhance Performance driven culture within Support
staff (A1 to A4), from FY 13 , Goal based Performance
Assessment has been introduced besides behavioral attributes.
PMP carries 75 % weightage on Achievement of Goals, 15 %
weightage on assessment of values & beliefs, 10 % weightage
on assessment of self-development and training. Every Goal,
for completion, is measured in terms of timelines, Cost, Quality,
and Morale.
Fig. 5.2-3 Performance Management System at GMR
Energy
Performance Review takes into account 1) Performance
against assigned KRA’s 2) Additional Tasks – Engagement in
activities beyond the assigned goals (Participation in CFT’s,
CIPs, IMS deployment) 3) Core Values 4) Potential (Current
& Higher positions) 5) Training & Developmental needs 6)
Job Rotation Aspirations, thus ensuring high Engagement.
Compensation for Employees has 2 major components – Fixed
and Variable. The Variable Component (Performance Pay) is
based on individual performance, Sector Performance and
Group Performance. Compensation benchmarking studies are
carried out at Group level to ensure competitive compensation
to our employees. From FY 14, the Overall Rating system
in the PMP has undergone a change from 4 point scale to 5
point scale to ensure finer distinction of Performance. The
performance management process of the group provides an
opportunity for employees to raise any PMP related grievances
related to rating, compensation and promotion. Grievances
raised by the employees after issuance of annual PMP letters
are effectively examined and communicated to the employee,
in the shortest possible time frame, in a fair and transparent
manner.
Fig. 5.2-3A PMP Grievance Management Process
Performance Assessment Guidelines for meeting targets,
achieving stretch targets, exceeding targets and introducing
break through improvements are clearly outlined as part of
PMP to support high Performance and ensure Customer &
Business Focus (Fig. 5.2-4, 5.2-5). Formal midyear reviews
provide feedback to Appraisee on whether they are “on-track/
off-track” against set targets. Performance Review Dialogue
between the Appraisee and Appraiser ensures clarity of roles
and responsibilities, generates alternatives for dealing with
various problems, and sets goals for further improvement.

5.2 B Assessment of Workforce
Engagement
5.2 B1 Assessment of Engagement
How do you assess WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT? What formal
and informal assessment methods and MEASURES do you use
to determine WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT and WORKFORCE
satisfaction? How do these methods and MEASURES differ
across WORKFORCE groups and SEGMENTS? How do you
use other INDICATORS, such as WORKFORCE retention,
absenteeism, grievances, safety, and PRODUCTIVITY, to assess
and improve WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT?
The primary method for determining employee engagement is
through Engagement Surveys carried out by External Agency
/ In-house. The survey covers all segments of employees
and determines the extent of engagement and satisfaction
at each level. An In-house Employee Engagement & Ethical
Culture survey was conducted in FY13, and based on the
survey results and findings, action plans have been formulated
through a collaborative approach. Other approaches for
assessment of workforce engagement includes Skip Level
Meetings, Town Halls, Departmental Meetings, BoD Meetings,
Exit Interviews, and Feedback from HR council, BE Council,
Induction Program, Customer Feedback Surveys. Participation
Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
99
levels of employees in various organizational initiatives like
Bhavyatha, CIPs, IMS, KM, Safety, Idea Factory, is also an
important indicator of Employee Engagement. In addition to
the formal and informal methods, lag indicators like Employee
Productivity, Absenteeism, Grievances, Safety & Employee
Attrition rates are used to gauge the Employee Engagement.
The sensitivity towards safety is established through Safety
Council meetings; large participation in Safety awareness
sessions etc. and the impact is evident from the increase
in reporting of Near misses / unsafe situations (Fig 7.3.28,
7.3.30). Employee Grievances are captured through PMP, Skip
Levels, Open Forums like Town Halls, HR Councils. Data from
these sources are collated, analyzed and necessary actions
as deemed fit are initiated. Voluntary exit of employees and
analysis of the reasons for exit provide indicators regarding
Employee’s dissatisfaction. Even though absenteeism is
negligible, it is tracked.
5.2 B2 Correlation with Business Results
How do you relate your WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT
assessment findings to KEY business RESULTS reported
in Category 7 to identify opportunities for improvement
in both WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT and business
RESULTS?
The workforce engagement has an impact on the achievement
of organizational goals, and there by on the business results
apart from the attrition rate (Fig. 5.2-6). We have a structured
method of analyzing EES results and launching interventions
that enhance the engagement and satisfaction levels. Efficacy
of these approaches is validated by improvement in business
results.

Learning and Development process (Fig 5.2-7) for workforce
is focused on supporting high performance through various
approaches driven by HR, Energy Development Center,
BE, EHS, QA/QC along with subject matter experts, training
consultants, tie-ups with institutes (IIMs) for training and
developing leadership pipeline (Fig. 5.2-8). Fast track high
performing employees are shortlisted based on elaborative
selection process annually. They are given the opportunity
to pursue a customized Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)
staggered over a period of one year at Indian Institute of India
(IIM) - Kozhikode, Kerala. The third batch was launched on
Dec 10, 2013. The batch concluded in April 2014.
Learning and Development programs are designed so that
the core competencies in areas like Project Management, and
Operational Excellence are strengthened and employees at
all levels are ready to face strategic challenges and achieve
business goals. For e.g. In FY 14, we enrolled as member of
Global Executive Council with PMI so as to bring in outsidein view, and external expertise of PMI for driving Excellence
in Project Management Processes. Other example is of
O & M Training organised for O & M staff in China. Tacit
knowledge from departing employees and superannuating
employees is captured at the time of “handing over” through
exit documentation along with discussion with departmental
colleagues and/or briefing of the successor prior to the
employee’s departure. In case of retirements, a successor is
assigned well in time to grasp the key learning’s.

5.2 C2 Learning and Development
Effectiveness
How do you evaluate the EFFECTIVENESS and efficiency of
your LEARNING and development system?
The efficiency of the learning and development system is
evaluated based on the training need completion, PDP
compliance. Reaction feedback is a mechanism used across
geographies for immediate effectiveness monitoring. 360 degree
feedback and Talent Reviews help evaluate the effectiveness
of Leader development initiatives. Where e-learning modules
are being used they are generally accompanied by a self-test
which enables instant feedback.
5.2 C3 Career Progression
How do you manage EFFECTIVE career progression
for your entire WORKFORCE? How do you accomplish
EFFECTIVE succession planning for management and
leadership positions?
Annual appraisal process covers discussion on Employee
Aspirations and helps in sketching out developmental plans
accordingly. All the open positions within the organization are
notified through email for helping employees make career
choices. The opportunities for employee’s development / career
enhancement are provided when the Company ventures into
new geographies, undertakes new projects or expands the role
of existing functions. Employees are also offered opportunities
to work in Cross Functional Teams, continuous improvement
initiatives, etc. Entry level recruits are rotated across the
organization, covering all major functions to aid in their
development. Employees also get an access to opportunities
within GMR Group. Enablers for career progression include Job
Rotations, Promotions, and Special Assignments, Deputation
and further education support and multiskilling of employees.
Employees are provided with opportunity to move horizontally
and develop new skill sets. Career progression and succession
planning for senior leadership team includes interventions like
360 degree feedbacks, IDP and Emerging Leaders Program.
Middle management employees are provided with training and
development inputs like IDP, On-the-job training and based on
their performance, appropriate career advancement moves are
initiated. Employees in support staff cadre are also provided
with opportunity to move into line functions if they have
upgraded their qualifications and skill sets (Fig. 5.2-9).
Fig. 5.2-9 Succession Planning Process
Effectiveness of career progression
is tracked by Employee perception
score, Attrition levels in talent group,
Employee’s participation in employee
growth initiatives and Number of job
rotations. Critical positions across
SBUs and Functions are identified
through Talent review process.
Accordingly
Step-in
successors,
Long-term successors and Transition
Managers are identified and mapped
to critical positions. Gaps between
present and desired competency levels
are addressed through Development
Center and Professional Development Dialogue approaches. The effectiveness of succession planning is tracked through various
parameters like - % of key positions filled internally, Ratio of successors for a critical position, Employee perception on effective
succession planning, Number of talent employees covered under ELP/LDP programs.

6.1 Work Systems
which will use external resources?
At GMR Energy, the work systems are of significant importance
throughout the organization. The work systems design (Fig.
6.1-1) takes into consideration Stakeholders requirements
including our Core Competencies and Strategic objectives.
The overall work system consists of Leadership & Governance,
Operation, Customer and Support systems. In the reviews
(BCM/GCM/GHB) and workshops, the need for changing the
work systems is assessed based on changing requirements
of the stakeholders, including Environmental changes –
Regulations, Business model, and Technology. In FY 14,
taking into consideration multiple challenges like Uncertainty in
regulatory and Policy Environment, Fuel shortage, and transition
from Project phase to operations phase, an organizational redesign initiative was undertaken with McKinsey, based on the
principles of Strategic Business Units (SBUs) with focus on
speed of decision making, profitability, liquidity & Capability
building (Fig. 6.1-2).

The design of work system aims to synergize the various
functions, and align key processes to serve the stakeholders
in an efficient way. System is devised around our strategic
themes – 1) Liquidity 2) Profitability 3) Structure and process,
guided by our Long term vision, Values and beliefs, and
driven by our core work processes (Fig 6.2-2). Our work
system and processes involve the use of External and Internal
resources. We outsource such activities which are resource
intensive, highly transactional in nature, semi-skilled repetitive
activities, and requiring high skilled expertise. For e.g. 1)
Creation of shared Service Center to support non - core HR &
Finance processes like new hire – profile sourcing, Employee
reimbursements, Vendor payments etc.2) Outsourcing of
IT – Operation support and development work to TCS 3 )
Outsourcing of O & M for Coal Handling and Ash Handling
systems at our Thermal Assets ( GKEL, EMCO).
Capitalizing on Core Competencies
Our identified core competencies (Refer OP – P.1 A2) give
us a sustainable competitive advantage for executing our
key processes efficiently and addressing our stakeholder
requirements. Examples of capitalization on core competency
to improve work system and enhancing stakeholder value is

There is AOP based cost control focus for each element of
expense across SBUs, Assets, Projects, Corporate Office
and Regional Offices. With Implementation of BPC (Business
Process Consolidation) seamlessly integrated with SAP
platform, Cost monitoring, analysis and control have become
more effective. All expenditures are subject to necessary
approval, and SAP Release strategy aligned with the Energy
Sector DoP guidelines. For on-going projects (CTPP, Bajoli Holi
- Hydro) cost focus is ensured through Bhavyatha processes
(Cost Control & Authorization for Expense). Capability Center
Initiatives (Refer Fig. 6.1-2) to Standardize and indigenize
spares, O&M Contract reviews, Vendor development, Cost
& Budget control ensures focus on monitoring and reduction
of costs. All expense deviations are critically reviewed in
forums like – ORMs, SBU reviews, Project Reviews, BCM and
GCM Reviews. In the current year for Coal Thermal Assets,
the plan is to engage reputed Global Consultant to improve
Cash flows through Process Improvement initiatives. For G&L,
specific targets have been taken to further contain the Plant
Preservation Costs.

In order to drive sustainable profitable growth, cost optimization exercise was initiated in GEMS led by McKinsey in 2013.
The main objective of the program was to create an aligned roadmap to continue achieving profitable growth, and start
implementation of the most critical lever – Contracting Excellence, with focus on below areas.
1. Conduct a rapid review of its current strategy, in light of changing market conditions
2. Establish an aligned aspiration (e.g. market cap or value creation) and cascade this to specific business initiatives (e.g.
production improvement, capital & infrastructure, procurement and contracting)
3. Prioritize the improvement levers, quantify size of the prize and develop detailed action steps (e.g. procurement
and contracting excellence, mine operations cost reduction, overall equipment efficiency / utilization, mine planning,
infrastructure development, capital planning etc.)
4. Implement procurement & contracting excellence lever immediately to capture tangible impact within 4-6 months.
This has resulted in an annualized savings of $14mn.”
Fig. 6.1-5 illustrates Cost control measures taken across our
work systems. The QA-QC dept. within Capability Center
has deployed a stringent quality plan of audit inspection
and compliance to method statement, factory inspection,
empanelment of vendor/contractor based on quality which
ensures timely actions to prevent defects, errors and reworks.
Concept of ‘Cost of Quality’ is being introduced for our Thermal
Coal Assets as part of BE Practitioners’ program to reduce
rework and, defects (Fig. 6.1-6).

6.1 C Emergency Readiness
Fig. 6.1-7 Workplace Emergency Management Plan
How do you ensure WORK SYSTEM and workplace
preparedness for disasters or emergencies? How does
your disaster and emergency preparedness system
consider prevention, management, continuity of
operations, and recovery?
We have an elaborate Emergency Preparedness and
Response Plan (EPRP) as shown in Fig. 6.1-8, for different
emergency scenarios as 1) Manmade emergency, 2) Natural
Disasters and 3) Systems failure. In line with Energy Sector
EHS Framework, Corporate EHS Department provides
guidelines to Projects, Assets and Corporate/Regional Offices
for formulating site specific EPRP plan. Site team develops
EPRP in concurrence with local internal/external stakeholders
which is reviewed by Corporate EHS and released for
implementation. Emergency Management involves 5 prong
approaches: Prevention, Preparedness, Response, Recovery
and Mitigation. Our process for emergency readiness and to
ensure continuity of business is addressed in Fig. 6.1-7

6.2 Work Processes
6.2 A Work Process Design
6.2 A1 Design Concepts
How do you design and innovate your WORK PROCESSES to
meet all the KEY requirements? How do you incorporate new
technology, organizational knowledge, product excellence, and
the potential need for agility into these PROCESSES? How do
you incorporate CYCLE TIME, PRODUCTIVITY, cost control, and
other efficiency and EFFECTIVENESS factors into the design of
these PROCESSES?
Processes are designed through step-by-step adoption of
SIPOC (S – Supplier, I – Input, P – Process, O – Output,
C – Customer). Fig. 6.2-1 helps the process owner to
systematically design and innovate the work process. Process
objectives are clearly set and defined prior to designing of the
work process. Each process has a process owner who leads
the implementation and monitoring of process. In process &
End of process measures are defined during mapping of each
work process. The process owner critically examines the
steps taken to address customer needs, bridge technological
gaps, training needs, and resource requirement etc. in order
to ensure that process design requirements are met. Regular
Measurement and monitoring help control the final outcomes
e.g. Plant Efficiency, Cost of Generation, Project execution
timelines etc.
Fig. 6.2-1 Process for designing and innovating work processes
Recurring deficiencies are highlighted during reviews and respective process is modified using DMAIC approach. E.g. REC
Application cycle time reduction, Power Trading Billing cycle time reduction, Revisiting Energy Sector DoP and rolling it out to
support SBU Structure.

6.2 B Work Process Management
6.2 B1 Key Work Process Implementation
How do your KEY WORK PROCESSESS relate to your
WORK SYSTEMS? How does your day-to-day operation of
these PROCESSES ensure that they meet KEY PROCESS
requirements? What are your KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
or INDICATORS and in-process MEASURES used for the control
and improvement of your WORK PROCESSES?
The designed work processes are implemented through
SIPOC/IMS framework. The process document (As per
IMS design) – covering purpose, process flow, interfaces,
in-process measures, output measures or indicators (Fig
6.2-2), Work Instructions/Operating Guidelines, forms,
records and references - are available with the Operation
Efficiency/Planning Team at Sites. To ensure that the key
design requirements are met, the workforce allocation is
done as per organizational workforce capability /capacity
needs. The necessary infrastructure, technology, equipment/
material, expertise (Fig OP. 11) for process management
are made available. Internal & External training programs
on tools/techniques/skills are conducted to enhance process
management capabilities of workforce. Awareness sessions
are coordinated by Business Excellence Team, and process
owners to create the understanding about the process steps &
measures. For e.g. Bhavyatha Process workshop conducted
by BE Team for Hydro at Bajoli Holi, Process Assessment
workshop for Thermal Assets, and key Corporate processes.
All in-process and output process measures are reviewed

periodically through MIS, and various reviews that take place at
SBU/BCM/GCM/GHB level. Deviations from desired outcomes
are analyzed for any gaps in process design, deployment,
resource allocation etc. and CAPA is taken accordingly (Ref
Fig 4.1-7).
6.2 B2 Supply-Chain Management
How do you manage your supply chain? How do you ensure that
suppliers you select are qualified and positioned to enhance
your PERFORMANCE and CUSTOMER satisfaction? How do
you evaluate supplier PERFORMANCE? How do you deal with
poorly performing suppliers?
Coal allocation for our Thermal Assets (EMCO & GKEL) has
been obtained through FSA with Coal India Limited, for 80-85
% of installed capacity. This allocated coal is transported to
our sites by Rail. Balance requirement of Coal is met through
imported coal planned from our co-owned mines in Indonesia,
and from Open market/E Auction mode.
Natural gas supply to our Gas based Assets (GVPGL & GELKKD) is done through a GSPA with RIL and a GTA with GAIL and
RGTIL. However in view of the current scenario of gas supply
from KG basin, option of importing Liquefied Natural Gas is
being evaluated which includes Liquefaction of Natural gas at
the loading port, transportation by LNG tankers, regasification
of LNG at discharge port, and inland transportation of gas
through pipeline, mobile cascades, rail, or road.
Project Procurement Process is carried out through the
Group procurement process with support from respective

C & C teams at SBU/sites, Owners Engineer, it consists
of preparation of technical specifications, floating of bids,
finalizing of GCC and SCC, identifying of global/domestic
suppliers, floating of RFQs, pre-bid meetings, evaluation of
techno-commercial bids, quotations, submission of technical
evaluation reports, commercial cost evaluation, approval as
per DoP, and placing of order. Warranty spares for our Thermal
Coal Assets have been supplied by OEM as part of Project
Construction Agreements; additionally critical spares have
been identified and a robust process of sourcing the same
from other channels is being put in place. To contain cost and
lead time, process to develop new vendors/indigenize critical
spares has been initiated.
Supplier Selection: A data base of all approved suppliers
(meeting the supplier selection / qualification criteria) across
GMR group is available as a pre-approved vendor master
in SAP MM Module. New vendors can register themselves
through E-Smart Vendor registration process available on
GMR Website.
Supplier Performance Evaluation: Suppliers’ performance
is evaluated through a systematic process managed by
Central Procurement Dept. For Projects vendors, the selected
suppliers are evaluated based on Supplier Analysis Score
Card which comprises 6 criteria’s of performance evaluation:
Cost, Financial Strength, Technical Strength, Execution
Capability, Corporate Governance, and Commercial Terms &
Conditions. For Assets, selected vendors are evaluated based
on 4 criteria’s – Quality, Cost, Delivery and Management &
System. An outcome of the Suppliers Evaluation is shared
with respective suppliers. Suppliers with consistent poor
performance are blacklisted from the approved master vendor
list.
6.2 B3 Work Process Improvement
How do you improve your WORK PROCESSES to achieve better
PERFORMANCE, reduce variability, and improve products?
The core of our Group’s success is our commitment to excellence in project execution. To this end, we initiated a project on achieving
excellence in project execution, which has been deployed along with McKinsey. The objectives of this exercise are two-fold:
•
Develop a “GMR Way” of Project Management, which is customized to our particular business model and culture, and
•
Deliver time and cost optimization for our existing projects, and institutionalize this approach for future projects
In order to achieve Excellence in Project Execution, an engagement program with McKinsey was taken up to map, document, and
codify the GMR way of Executing a Project encompassing all key stages of Project life cycle – Assess, Select, Define, Execute,
Operate.
Subsequently, these processes were deployed at our Coal based Projects to the extent applicable during the life cycle. This was
followed by implementation of Project Bulls Eye at GKEL aimed at improving productivity through micro planning, idea generation,
and strengthening of review architecture.
We further leveraged organizational learning on Bhavyatha, Bulls Eye, through an In house engagement program to prepare
proactively for our Hydro business. As a result, a comprehensive “Hydro Power Project Management Manual” using a 3 pronged
approach centered on: Bull’s Eye learning’s (GKEL), Bhavyatha and BE framework detailing out the principles of Organization design,
Structure, Roles, Responsibilities, Interfaces has been put in place for uniform adoption by our upcoming Hydro Projects.

Business Excellence in GMR Energy | FY 2013-14
BE Practitioners workshop at GKEL
Basic trigger to identify work process improvement opportunities
are strategic objectives, stretched goals and consequent
process outcomes in line with organizational challenges. Fig.
6.2-3 illustrates process for improving and innovating work
processes. All KPIs are monitored at Corporate/SBU as well
as functional levels through Balanced Scorecard, Monthly MIS,
and Daily Reports, etc. (Ref Fig 4.1-7) Transactional feedback
is the mechanism through which the feedback is captured from
Internal Suppliers/Customers, Process owners, stakeholders
etc. for day to day management of the process. Approaches like
review mechanisms, Internal SLA’s, deployment of PM & MM
modules for Thermal Assets, Improvement Projects, SWOT,
etc. are used to achieve better performance of processes and
improve customer services.
Fig. 6.2-3 Process for improving and innovating work processes
Various analytical and quality tools (OSI-PI, variance, trend,
root cause, 7 STEP problem solving process, brainstorming,
etc.) are used to improve processes and reduce variability.
Deployment of Idea Factory, Bhavyatha for Hydro/Thermal,
Improvement Projects, BE Practitioners program creates a
sector wide focus on building a culture of continual improvement.
Quality & Safety awareness is created through Quality weeks,
and internal quality audits. Safety week and audits are being
conducted periodically throughout the year. To prevent the
recurrence of variations/deviations, CAPA is identified to
change/modify the process if required, or, take actions such as
(i) Improving awareness (ii) Discipline in adhering the process
guidelines (iii) Training interventions for workforce capability
issues (v) R&R for improvement projects (Fig. 7.1.92-93-94,
Fig. 7.3.8). IMS audits are conducted to identify the process
gaps and propose CAPA towards IMS deployment across all
processes. Process audits are being planned with focus on
identification of improvement opportunities. Based on the IMS
design, each process and its sub processes are reviewed by
the respective process owners periodically for deviation from
intended outcomes and design, cycle time, productivity and
the cost incidence of the process. These deviation(s) form the
basis for identification of opportunities for improvement and
updating as per new process requirements & business needs.
