Further, considering the current crisis in relation to COVl0-19In India and across the globe, I have been informed by the Investment Manager, thai the forecasts I projections provided for the valuation exercises are prepared after reasonably evaluating and incorporating the impad. of outbreak of COVIO-19 pandemic as per prevalent conditions as on date.
I have not tested individual assumptions or attempted to substantiate the veracity or integrity of such assumptions in relation to the forward-looking financial information, however. I have made sufficient enquiry to satisfy myseff thai such information has been prepared on a reasonable basis.
Notwithstanding anything above, I cannot provide any assurance that the fOlWaI'd looking financia information will be representative 01 the results which will actually be achieved during the cash now forecast period.

Enterprise Value is described as the total value of the equity In a business plus the value of its debt and debt related liabilities, minus any cash or cash equivalents to meet those liabilities.
1.2.6. Valuation Base
Valuation Base means the indication of the type of value being used in an engagement. In the present case. RV has determined the fair value of the SPVs at the enterprise level. Fair Value Bases defined as under:
Fair Value Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market partidpants at the valuation date. Fair value Is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordedy transaction In the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under culTent market conditions
(i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable Of estimated using another valuation techrique. Fair value or Maritet value is usually synonymous to each other except In oert.ain circumstances where characteristics of an asset translate into a spedal asset value for the
party(ies) involved.
1.2.7. Valuation Date
Valuation Date is the specific date at 'Nhich the value of Ihe assets to be valued gets estimated or measured. Valuation is time specific and can change 'Nith the passage of time due to changes in the eondition of the asset to be valUed. Accordingly, valuation of an asset as at a particular date can be different from other date(s).
The Valuation Date considered for the fair enterprise valuation of the SPVs is 30lh September 2021 ,Valuation Date»). The attached Report is drawn up by reference to accounting and financial infonnation as on 30lh September 2021. The RV is not aware of any other events having occurred since 30th September 2021 till date of this Report which he deems to be significant for his valuation analysis.
1.2.8. Premise of Value
Premise of Value refers to the conditions and dl'CLmstances how an asset is deployed. In the present case. RV has detennlned the fair enterprise vaue of the SPVs on a Going Concem Value defined as under:
Going Conc.m Value
Going concern value is the value of a business enterprise that Is expected to continue to operate in the future. The intangible elements of going concern value result from factors such as having a lrained work foree. an operational plant. necessary licenses, systems, and procedures in place etc.

1.3. Summary of Valuation
I have assessed the fair enterprise value of each of the SPVs on a stand-alone basis by using the discounted cash flow method under the income approach. Following table summarizes my explaination on the usage or non usage of different valuation methods:

NAV does not capture the future earning potential of the business.
The revenue of the projects are defined for a certain period of years as provided by Mis GMD Consultants in its Toll Revenue and O&M Cost projection Report As all the SPVs under considerations have executed projects under the BOT model, the O"MlefShip of the under1ying assets shall be transfered after the expiry of the concassion period. In case d all the SPVs, the total concessloo period Is between 14 years to -32 years. Hence, the growth potential of the $PVs and the true 'AOrth of ita business would be reflected In its future eamlnga potential and therefore, DCF Method under the Income approach hal been considered as an appropriate method for the preeent valuation exerdse. The equity shares of the SPVs are not listed on any recognized stock exchange in India. Hence, I was unable to apply the market price method.
In the absence of any exactly comparable listed companies "With characteristics and parameters similar to that of the SPVs. I am unable to consider this method forthe current valuation.
- -
In the absence of adequate details about the Comparable Transactions. I was unable to apply the CTM method.
Under the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method, the Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) has been used for the purpose of valuation of each of the SPVs. In order to arrive at the fair EV of the individual SPVs under the OCF Method, I have relied on provisional financial statements as at 30th
September 2021 prepared in accordance 'NittI the Indian Accounting Standards (lnd AS) and the financial projections of the respective SPVs prepared by the Investment Manager as at the Valuation Date based on their best judgement.
The discount rate considered for the respective SPVs for the purpose of this valuation exercise is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital for each of the SPVs. As all the SPVs under considerations have executed projects under the BOT model, the ownership of the underlying assets shaft be transfered after the expiry of the concession period. At the end of the agreed concession period, the ownership of the road. the obligation to maintain the road and the right to collect tolls from the vehldes using the road revert to the government entity that granted the concession by the SPVs. Accordingly, terminal period value I.e. value on account of cash flows to be generated even after the expiry of concession period has not been considered.

4 ,1.1 The road infrastnJcture is an important detenninant of economic growth in India and it plays a signifteant role In the economy's overarl development process.
4.1.2 Creation and operation 01 Quality roacllnfrastructure continue to be major requirements for enabling overall growth and development of India in a sustained manner.
4.1.3 Bridging of existing infrastructure gaps and creating additional facilities to cater to (he increasing population are equally important. Apart from IJroviding connectivity in tenns of enabling movement of passengers and freight , roads act as force multipliers in the economy.
4.1.4 Further, roads playa significant role in times r:A natural calamities, wars and other such events in terms of timely evacuation of the impacted population, caniage of relief material and other associated movemen~. Government takes cognisance of this requirement and road infrastructure remains to be a focus area.
4.2 Road Networi( In India
4.2.1 India has the second largest road networ1<; in the world, spanning over 5.8 mJilion kms. ().ter 64.5% of all goods In the country are transported through roads. while goo,4 of the total passenger traffic uses road network to commute.

4.2.2 Out of this around 1.36 lakh km are National Highways (~NHs·). Significantly, NHs constitute around 2 per cent of the total road network in the country but carry about 40% of the road traffic. The density of India's highway network at 0.66 km of roads per sQuare kilometer of land - is similar to that 01 the United States (0.65) and much greater than China's (0.16) or Brazil's (0.20).
4.3 Government Agencies for Road Development
4.3.1 The Ministry of Road Transport & Highway ("MaRTH") is responsible for development of Road Transport and Highways in general and construction & maintenance of National Highways.
4.3.2 The National Highways Authority of India ("NHA'") is an autonomous agency of the Government of India, set up In 1988 and is responsible for implementation of National Highways Development Project ("NHDP").
4.3.3 The NHDP in the context of NHs is nearing completion- in seven phases. Later, the other highway development programmes like Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for Development of Road Network in North Eastern states (SARDP- NE) and National Highways Interconnectivity Improvement Project (NHIIP) were also taken up by MaRTH. Further, BharaUmaia Patiyojana is ongoing. For majority of the projects under NHDP and 8haratmale Partyojana. NHAI is the implementation agency. Other NH related programmeslwor1c:s are being implemented

through agencies like National Highways Infrastructure Development Corporation Umited (NHIDCL). State Public Wonts Departments (PWDs). Stale Road Developmenl Corporations and the Border Road Organizations
4.3.4 Roads in the juriidiction of state govemnents are under different categories like State Highways ("SHs· ) and Major District Roads. They are befng developed! upgraded through State PVl/Ds and State Road Development Corporations. Pradhal1 Mantri GrarTWTl Sadak Yojana is being implemented tor I\Irai roads through the Ministry of Rural Affairs with active participation by state goverrvnents. Further, roads Wilhln urban areas mostly with PWDs and Urban Local Bodies.
4.3.5 State Governments have a significant role to play in developing the SHs, Major District Roads. Other District Roads to ensure the last mile connectivity. States have varying levels of maturity in terms ot road intrastnJqure development due to issues such as inadequate identification and prioritization of projects. funding shortfall, limited inslftutional capacity to implement projects, etc.

4.5 Implementation of Important projects and eXJ)t088ways
4.5.1 Bharatrnala Pariyoina
Bharatmala Pariyojana is a new umbrella program for the highways sector that focuses on optimizing efficiency of freight and passenger movement across the country by bridging aitical infrastructure gaps through effective interventioos like development of Economic Corridors, Inter Corridors and Feeder Routes, National Con1dor Effidency Improvement. Border and Intemational connectivity roads, Coastal and Port connectivity roads and Green-field expressway.
The 8haratmata PariyoJana envisages development of about 26,000 km length of Economic
Corridors, which along with Golden Quadrilateral (GO) and North-South and East-West (NS-EYV) Corridors are expected to carry majority of the Freight Traffic on roads.
A total length of 34,800 km in road projects have been proposed to be constructed with an estimated outlay of Rs 5.35 trillion (US$ 74.15 billion) under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase·l over a five year period (2017-18 to 2021-22). Components under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I are as given below:

an estimated cost of INR 12,000 Crores.
4.5.3 Eastern peripheral and western DedDheral expreS$Wily
These two projects will connect NH-1 and NH-2 from western and eastern side ot Delhi.
4.5.4 Setu Bharatam:
This project aims to replace crossings on NHs with Road Over Bridges and Road Under Bridges.
It is projected to construct 174 such structures.
4.5.5 To further augment road infrastructure, more economic corridors are also being planned by
Govemment of India as revealed in Budget 2021-22.
a. 3,500 km of National Highway works in the state of Tamil Nadu at an investment of INR 1.03 takh Crores. These Include Madurai-Kollam canidor, Chittoor-Thatchur corridor.
Construction will start next year.
b. 1,100 km of National Highway works in the State of Karata at an investment d INR 65,000 Crores induding 600 km section of Mumbai Kanyakumad corridor in Karala.
c. 675 Ism of highway wor1<.s in the state of West Bengal at a cost of INR 25,000 Crores

d. National Highway works of around INR 19,000 Crores are currently In progress in the State of Assam. Further 'NOrks of more than INR 34,000 Crores covering more than 1300 kms of National Highways will be undertaken in the State In the coming three years.
4.6 Public Private Partnership ("PPP") Model. of road development and maintenance In India
4,6.1 India has a welt-developed frameWOf"k for Public-Private-Partnerships (PPP) in the highway sedOl". ppp has been a majOl" contributor to the success story of the roads and highway sector In India. With the emergence of private players over the last decade, the road construction market has become fragmented and competitive. Players bidding tor projects also vary In terms of size.
4.6.2 PPP modes have been used in india for both development and operation & maintenance of road assets.
In a BOT toll project, the concessionaire Is responsible for designing, building, finandng, operating, maintaining, tolling and transferring the project to the relevant authority at the end of the concession period. The concession period is project specific but is usually for 30 years. In BOT Toll model. the concessionaire earns revenue primarily in the form of toll revenue v.11ich in turns depends on the traffic on the road stretch. Toll rates are regulated
by the government through rules.
BOT Annuity
Similar to a BOT Toll projects, in BOT Annuity project, the concessionaire is responsible for designing, building, finandng, operating, maintaining, lolling and transferring the project to the relevant authority at the end of the concession period. However, in these projects, the responsibility of toiling on road stretch lies with the government. The concessionaire earns revenue in the form of preoodetermined seml·annual annuity payments.
HAM
Similar to a BOT projects, in HAM project, the concessionaire is responsible for designing, building, financing, operating, maintaining, tolling and transferring the project to the relevant authority at the end of the concession period. However, in these projects, the responsibility of tolling on road stretch ties with the government. The construction period for HAM projects is project specific and a fixed operation period of 15 years.
4.7 Government Investment in the Sector
4.7.1 Under Union Budget 2021·22, the Government of India has allocated lNR 1,08,230 Crore (US$ 14.85 billion) for the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways as Gross Budgetary Support.
4.7.2 During 2019·23, NHAI is expected to generate Rs. 1 trillion (US$ 14.30 billion) annually from toll and other sources.
4.7.3 NHAI is planning to raise Rs. 40,000 crore (US$ 5.72 billion) to monetize its highway assets through Infrastructure Invesbnent Trust (InvIT). Five operational roads with an estimated enterprise value of INR 5,000 crores are being transferred to the NHAI InvlT.
4.7.4 As on December 2019, 824 projects were recommended for development by PPP Appraisal Committee. Invesbnent of US$ 31 billion for national highways is expected in PPP by 2020.
4.8 Growth Drivers
4.8.1 Robust Demand:
Growing domestic trade flows have led to rise in COmmercial vehldes and freight movement; supported by rise in production of commercial vehides to 752,022 in FY20 whictl commands stronger road network. in India. Higher individual discretionary spending has led to increased spending on two and four wheelers. Road's traffic share of the total traffic in India has grown from 13.8% to 65% in freight traffic and from 32% to 90% in passenger traffic over 1951-2019.
4.8.2 Increasino Jnvestment:
Huge investment have been made in the sector with total investment Increasing mote than three times from Rs. 51,914 crore (US$ 7.43 biliJon) In 2014·15 to Rs. 158,839 crore (US$ 22.73 billion) in 2018· 19. Between FY16 and FY21, budget outlay for road transport and highways increased at a robust CAGR of 13.10%. In 2019·20. Rs. 36,691 orore (US$ 5.24 billion) was allocated to NHAI.

4.8.3 Policv Support ;
100% FDI is allowed under automatic route subject to applicable laws and regulatioos, standardized process for bidding and tolling. Under Union Budget 2020-21, the Government of India has allocated Rs. 19,500 CfOre (US$ 2.79 billion) for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) which is a scheme for development of rural roads in India. Government of India has set up India Infrastructure Finance Company (IIFCL) to provide long-term funding for Infrastructure
projects.
4.9 Challenges & Issues in the Sector
4.9. 1 Land ACQuisi tion Delays & Cost :
• Land acquisition cost has increased more than 30% since 2017, primarily due to enhanced compensation payment reqlirements as per 'The Right to Falr Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013'.
• Delay in pre-constructlon activities (such as land acquisition, relocation) affects project timelines. Land acquisition for road projects involves various stages. Each stage involves a number of stakeholders and regula10ry bodies. Thus processes consume considerable time.
4.9.2 Regulatory Approyals & DiSPUtes ;
• Road development process requires a number of approvals such as environmental dearance, forest dearance, railways dearance, elc. Each of these activities takes considerable time and non-adherence to timelines result in cost overruns due to delays.
• Claims arising out of disputes ber.veen the concessionaire1 contractor and the government authorities are also a significant cost which can lead to large liabilities.
4.9.3 Operational Issues ;
• Uncertainty of toll revenue collection and variation of collected toll revenue compared to projected levels as Actual traffic Is much less than the anticipated traffic.
• Often unforeseen weather conditioos require unplanned O&M, OVE!( and above the routine and periodiC maintenance activities. This results in enhanced O&M expenses. The increase in O&M costs Is also affecting the project retums.
4.10 Recent Initiatives by Govemment
4.10.1 Bhooml Rashi - Land Acguisition Porta!
The ministry has corroborated with the Nationa! !nfonnatics Centre, to create Bhoomlrashi , a web portal which digitisas the CI.ITlbefsome land acquIsitlon process, and also helps in processing notifications relating to land acqioftsition online. Processing time, Vrtlich was earlier two to three months has come down to one to two weeKs now.
4.10.2 EASTaa Electronic Toll Collection
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) sy~em, has been Implemented on pan India basls In order 10 remove bottlenecks and enSUl"e seamless movement of traffic and collection d user fee as per (he
notified rates, using passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFIO) technology. 24 banks (induding Public and Private sector ban"'s) have been engaged as Issuer banks In order to issue FASTag to road users. As of Jan-2020, collectively banks have Issued 135.62 lakh FASTags and with an 30.80 lakhs average dally ETC transactions, the average daily collection through ETC has increased to Rs. 50.88 crore with a penetration of more than 95% in total fee coIJedion. There are 538 operational National Highways fee plazas out of which 536 p1azas are Jive 'Nith ETC infrastructure In all lanes.

5. Valuation Methodology and Approach
5.1. The present valuation exercise is being undertaken in ()(der to derive the faIr EV tI the SPVs.
5.2. The valuation exercise involves selecting a method suitable for the purpose of valuation, by exercise of judgment by the valuers, based on the fads and drcumstances as applicable to the
business of the company to be valued,
5.3. There are three generally accepted approaches to valuation:
The cost approach values the under1ying assets of the business to determine the business value. This valuation method carries more weight with respect to holding companies than operating companies. Also, cost value approaches are more relevant to the extef1t that a significant portion of the assets are of a nature that could be liquidated readily if so desired.
Net Asset Value ( NAY') Method
The NAV Method under Cost Approach considers the assets and liabilities. induong intangible
assets and contingent liabilities. The Net Assets. after redudng the dues 10 the preference shareholders, if any, represent the value of a company.
The NAV Method is appropriate in a case....tlere the main strength of the business is its asset backing rather than Its capacity Of potential to eam profits. This valuation approach Is also used In cases where the firm is to be liquidated, i.e. It does not meet the ' going concern" aiteria.
As an indicator of the total value rX the entity, the NAV method has the disadvantage of only consldering the status of the business at one point in time.
Additionally, NAV does not proper1y take into account the eamlng capacity of the business or any inlangibie assets that have no historical cost. In many aspects, NAV represents the minimlHl1 benchmark: value of an operating business.
5.5. Market Approach
Under the Market approach, the valuation is based on the market value of the company in case of listed companies, and comparable companies' trading or transaction multiples for unlisted companies. The Market approach generally reflects the investors' perception about the true worth of the company.
Comparable Companies Multicles ("CCM") Method
The value is determined on the basis of multiples derived from valuations of comparable companies, as manifest in the stock market valuations of listed companies. This vafuation is based on the principle that market valuations, taking place between infonned buyers and informed sellefS, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant muiUpies Med to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the dram stances.
Comparable Transactions MuWoIes CCTM1 Method
Under the eTM Method, the value is determined on the basis of multiples derived from valuations of similar transactIons in the Industry. Relevant multipfes need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the drcumstances. Few of such multiples are EVfEamings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization ("EBITDAj muftiple and EV/Revenue multiple.
Martel pOce Method
Under this method, the market price of an equity share of the company as quoted on ;II recognized stock exchange Js normally considered as the fair value of the equity shares of that company ......nere such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded . The market value generally reflects the investors' perception about the true worth of the company.

5.6. Income Approach
The Income approach is '<Nidely used for valuation under "Going Concern" basis. It focuses on the income generated by the company in the past as well as its future earning capability. The Discounted Cash Flow Method under the income approach seeks to arrive at a valuation based on
the strength of future cash flows.
Discoynted Cash Flow ("DeD Method
Under DCF Method value of a company can be assessed using the Free Cash Flowto Firm Method ("FCFF·) or Free Cash Flow to Equity Method ("FCFEj. Under the DCF method, the business is valued by discounting its free cash flows for the explicit forecast period and the perpetuity value thereafter. The free cash flows represent the cash available for distribution 10 both, the owners and creditors of the business. The free cash flO'NS In the explicit period and those In perpetUity are disoounted by the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC"). The WACe. based on an optimal viw-vis actual capital structure, is an appropriate rate of discount 10 calo.iate the present value of future cash flows as it considers equity-debt risk by incorporating debt-equity ratio of the finn.
The perpetuity (terminal) value is calculated base<! on the business' potential for further growth beyond the explldl forecast period. The "constant growth model· is applied, which implies an expected constant level of growth for perpetuity In the cash flows over the last year of the forecast period.
The discounUng factor (rate of disCOUf1ting the future cash flows) refl&Cts not only the time value of money, but also the risk associated with the business' future operations. The EV (aggregate of the present value of explicit period and tenninal period cash flows) so derived, Is further reduced by the value of debt, If any, (net of cash and cash equivalents) to arrive at value to the owners of the business.
Conclusion on V~luation Approach
5.7. It is pertinent to note that the valuation of any company or its assets Is inherenUy imprecise and is subject to certain uncertainties and conUngencies. all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond my cootrol. In perfonnlng my analysis. I have made numerous assumptions with respect to industry perfonnance and general business and eoonomicconditions, many of which are beyood the control of the SPVs. In addition. this valuation will fluctuate with changes in prevailing market conditions. and prospects. financial and otherwise, d the SPVs, and other factors which generatty influence the valuation of companies and their assets.
5.8. The goal In selection of valuation approaches and methods for any financial Instrument is to find out the most appropriate method under particular circumstances on the basis of available information. No one method is suitable in every possible situation. Before selecting the appropriate valuation approach and method, I have considered various fadors, inter-alia. the basis and premise of current valuation exercise, purpose of valuation exerdse, respective strengths and weaknesses of the possible valuation approach and methods, availability of adequate inputs or informatlon and its reliability and valuation approach and methods considered by the market participants.
COit Approach
The existing book value d EV d the SPVs comprising of the value of its Net fIXed assets, Net intangible assets and working capital based on the unaudited financial statements as at 30U' September 2021 and based on the audited financial statements as at 31 11 Marcn 2021 prepared as per Indian Accounting Standards (In<! AS) are as under.
In the present case, The SPVs operate and maintain the project facilities in accordance \/Vith the terms and conditions under the relevant ooncession agreement. During the concession period, the SPVs ope;ate and maintain the road asset and eam revenues through Charges, fees or tolls generated from the assel The amount of charges, fees or tolls that they may collect are notified by the relevant government agency, v.tIich are usually revised a'nnuaJly as specified in the relevant concessions and toll notifications. In such scenario, W true 'NOrth of the business is reflected in its future earning capacity rather than the cost of the project. Accordingly, I have not considered the cost approach for the current valuation exercise.
Martet Approach
The present valuation exercise is to undertake fair EV of the SPVs engaged in the road infrastructure projects for a predetermined tenure. Further, the tarttr revenue and expenses 8(e very specific to the SPVs depending on the nature of their geographicallocalion, stage of project, terms of profitability. In the absence of any exacUy comparable listed companies 'Nith characteristics and parameters similar to that of the SPVs, I have not considered CCM method in the present case. In the absence of adequate details about the Comparable Transactions, I was unable to apply the CTM method. Currently, the equity shares of the SPVs are not listed on any recognized stock exchange of India. Hence, I was unable. to apply market price method.
Income Approach
Each of the SPVs operates under a BOT or DBFOT concession agreement with the NHAI. Govemment authorities in India typically award highway infrastructure development projects under BOT concessions, 'Nhich are characterized by three distinct phases:
1. Build: upon successfully securing a project concession through a competitive bid, a concessionaire secures financing for, and completes construction, of a road;
2. Operate: during the agreed concession period, the concessionaire operates, manages and maintains the road at its own expense and eams revenues by collecting tolls from vehides using the road; and
3. Transfer: at the end of the agreed concession period, the ownership of the road, the obligation to maintain the road and the right to co.ect tolls from the vehicles using the road revert to the government entity that granted the concession.
A DBFOT project involves, in addition to the activities required under a BOT project, the provision of engineering design and financing (or ~ projed.
Currently, each of the SPVs are completed and are revenue generating SPVs. The revenue of the SPVs is based on tenure, traffic VOlumes, operations and other factors that are unique to each of the SPVs. The growth potential of the SPVs and the true worth of its business would be reflected in Mure earnings of each of the SPVs. 1 have been provided with the projeded financial information for each of the SPVs under consideration, by the Investment Manager. Accordingly, DCF Method under the income approach has been considered as an appropriate method f« the present valuation exerdse.

6.1. I have estimated the EV of the SPVs using the DCF Method. VVhile carrying out this engagement. I have relied extensively on the information made available to me by the Investment Manager. I have considered projeded financial statement of the SPVs as provided by the Investment Manager.
Valuation
6.2. The key assumptions of the projed:lons provided to us by the Investment Manager are:
Kev Assumptions:
6.2.1. Toll Revenue: As per the concession agreements for the respective SPVs. each SPV is allowed to levy, demand, coiled and appropriate the fees (called as toll fees) from vehides and persons liable to payment of fees for using their respective road asset or any part thereof and refuse entry of any vehicle to the road asset if the due fee is not paid. Toll revenues depend on toll receipts. which in tum depend on traffic volumes and toll fees on the toll roads.
Concession Period
The Concession Period refers to the period where the Concessionaire Is granted with the exdusive rights. license and authority to demand, coiled. and appropriate fee, operate, manage and maintain the project highway subject to the lenns and conditions mention In their respective ooncession agreement. The cash flow projedion are prepared by the Investment Manager for the balance concession period remaining from the Valuation Date as summarized below:

"subject to NHAf approval
I understand, as per the extant provisions of the Concession Agreements for the respective SPVs In relation to the traffic variation, the concession period could be modified to take into the account shortfall or excess In actual average traffic vis-a-vis the target traffic ranging beyond 2.5% and such concession extension or truncation shall be subject to a cap of 20% extension for shortfall and 10% for truncation for excess.
Accordingly. in the Investment Manager has considered an extension period based on its calculation which Is subject to the approval from the NHAI Authorities In case of IRBTA & IRBTe. I have relied on the information provided by the Investment Manager.

Extension for Other Reasons: NHAI vide its various orders has extended the concession period of the BOT Toll Projects for reasons Including natural calanlties, lockdownson ao:ount of COVlD-19, etc.
I have considered the projection period for the current valuation exercise based on the balance concession period as represented by the InveS1ment Manager.
Trafflc Volum"
Traffic volumes are directly or indirectly affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside at the control of the SPVs, including : toll fees; fuel prices in India; the frequency of traveller use; the quality, convenience and travel efficiency of altemative routes outside the SPY's network. of toll roads; the convenience and extent of a toll road's connections with other parts of the local, state and national highway networks; the availability and cost of alternative means of transportation, including rail networ1<.s and air transport; the level of commercial, industrial and residential development in areas served by the SPVs' projects; adverse weather conditions; and seasonal holidays.
Toll Rates
During the concession period, the SPVs operate and maintain the road asset and earn revenues through charges, fees Q{ tolls generated from the asset. The amolJ(Jt of charges, fees or tolls that they may collect are notified by the relevant government agency, which are usually revised annually as specified in the relevant oonce.ssioos and toll notifications. The revision typically either (i) is linked to the extent of variation in the Wholesale Price Index for all commodities as published by the Ministry of Industry (the ""WPr) or (il) comprises a fixed component. Vvtlich is three percent and a component linked to variation in the WPI, which Is capp&d at 40% of the variation In the WPI.
The toll rates for the proj"ected period have been derived in the manner stipulated in the individual concession agreements of the SPVs. The variable determinant supporting escalation in toll tariff is WPI 'IAt'tllch is oonsidered as 5.0% p.a . through the projected period based on the discussion with the Investment Manager.
In the present case, the Investment Manager has appointed MIs GMD Consultants, an Independent third-party research agency to forecast the traffic volumes and toll revenues for the SPVs' projects and to prepare traffic reports for the SPVs under consideration. As oonfinned by the Investment Manager, the traffic volumes and toll revenues for each SPY has been estimated by the traffic consultant after considering overall structure and condition of the projects induding analysis of demand and supply and strategic ~eographicallocations of
Page 36 of 64
S'trictly Private and Confidential
the individual road projects. This was one of the most important input In projecting the toll
revenues.
6.2.2. Operating & Maintenance Expenses (Routine maintenance): A SPY is generally responsible for carrying out operation and maintenance activities at its toll road during its concession period. Within the scope of sud1 operation and maintenance obligations, the SPY may be required to undertake routine and periodic maintenance of projed roads, maintain and comply INith safety standards to ensure smooth and safe traffic movement, deploy adequate human resources for iACident management, maintain proper me<ical and sanitary arrangements for personnel deployed at the site, prevent any unauthorized entry to and exit from the projed as may be required. The Project Manager. together with the SPVs, manages the critical day-to-day operation and maintenance of the SPVs. In the present case, the Investment Manager has relied on the technical study report provided by the external professional agency (MIs GMD Consultants) for estimating the O&M (routine) expenses for the projected period. Further, I have been informed that the SPVs have entered into long term agreement with the Sponsor to provide O&M support with respect to Routine and Periodic maintenance and the cost considered in the projections are in-Une with the terms of these contracts.
6.2.3. Major Maintenance Expenses (PeriodiC majntenanee):
Estimating the Major Maintenance Expenses Period maintenance expenses 'Hill be incurred on periodic basis say every 2-5 years. These
are the costs incurred to bring the road assets back to Its earlier condition or keep the road assets in its present condition. SImilar to O&M routine maintenance expenses, Investment Manager has relied on the technical study report.provided by the extemal professional agency (MIs GMD Consultants) for estimating major maintenance expenses for the projected period.
Provisions for Major Maintenance Expenses and Cash Flow Adjustments
As per the financial requirements, provision Is required for appropriate major maintenance expense over a period until the actual expendit1.lre is incurred. These are non-cash expenses. Hence, for my DCF analysis, such provisions are added back in their respective years and the adual expenditure expected to be Inwrred during the particular interval of 2-5 years is deducted in those respective years in order to arrive at net cash flows.
The Investment Manager has provided me the estimated Major MaiJtenance Expenses.
6.2.4. Depreciation and Amortization: The toll collection rights (intangible assets) of the SPVs are being amortized using revenue-based amortization method. Under this method. the carrying value of the toll collection rights is amortised In the proportion of the actual toll r6lJenue for the yoar to the projected revenue for the balance toll perlod, to reflect the pattem in which the economic benefits of the assets INiIi be consumed. Further, for other fixed assets, depreciation is calculated on written down value method CNDV) using the useful INeB prescribed by the Companies Act, 2013.
6.2.5. NHAI Premium: NHAI premium is the payment made by the concessionaire to NHAI for bagging the right to finance, develop, maintain and collect tolls from the road project during lhe conceasion period. Based on the future traffic estimates, the developers have to bid the premium amount that they pay 10 NHAJ upfront. Further, developers can defer premium payment only if they do not coiled: enough toll revenue in a year to pay for it after servicing debt and other maintenance costs. They have to pay interest on the prenlh.m deferred. For the OCF, the NHAI premium provision (which is expensed out in the Profit & Loss) Is added bad< since It Is non-cash expenditure and the actual premlLm & Interest on the same paid in each of the projected years is deducted to arrive at the net cash flows. Based on the representation of the Investment Manager, in case of IReTe. interest on deferred NHAI
PageJ70f64
StricUy Privale and Conftdential
premium Is assumed at 6.25% per annum throughout the balance project life (based on the rate applicable as of 30111 September 2021).
6.2.6. Revenue Share: The revenues collected from the toll 'NOUld be shared annually and paid to
the NHAI in the form d a concession fee. The percen~e of revenue that the Road Project has to share with the NHAI is defined In the Concession Agreement. This is applicable in case of IRB$O and MVR only. The SPVs records revenue on the net of share of revenue basis only. Further, the projections provided by the Investment Manager are on the basis of share of revenue that belongs to the individual SPV only. Accordingly, no additional adjustment in relation to share of revenue that belongs to NHAI is required in order to derive the enterprise values of the SPVs.
6.2.7. capital ExpendibJre ("Capax" ): As represented by the Investment Manager. regarding the maintenance Capax, the same has already been considered in the Operations & Maintenance expenditure and Major maintenance expenditure for the projected period and regarding the expansion Capex, the SPVs are not expected to incur any capex in the projected period.
6.2.8. Wot1<:lng Capital: The entire collection of tolls is in cash and routine expenses are in cash or
a credit period is avaifable. In these cases the effective working capital deployed is relatively small or negative in certain instances. Further, I understand the working capital is expected to be stable and is not expected to vary drastically over a period of time. Hence, changes in working capital have been considered as an adjustment for its release or payment in the projected cash flows towards the end of the concesslon period.
6.2.9. Taxes: As per the discussions ..... th the Investment M!:Vl8ger, taxes payable by the SPVs for the projected period shall be MAT raJes or nonnal tax rates, Wii"chever is applicable.. While projecting the tax numbers, 8(}'IA benefits under the Income Tax Ad, 1961 has been considered to arrive at tax payable by the SPVs.
6.3. Impact of Ongoing Material Litigation on Valuation
As on~" September 2021. there are ongoing tax litigations as sho'M"'l in Appendix 10 <M1icn are having no deposits paid under disputeJ protest for the SPVs. as infonned by the Investmeot Manager. As represented by the Investment Manager, the Sponsor would indemrlfy the Trust and its SPVs against any finandal losses suffered or incurred in connection ..... th any pending or threatened daims against the Trust made prtorto the transfer of the assets to the Tl1.Ist, hence no impact has been fadored on the valuation of the SPVs.
6.4. MocUficaUon In Conc ... lon Period
As per the Concession Agreement dause between NHAI and SPVs as provided to us by the management of the Sponsors, "In the event Actual Average Traffic shall have fallen short of the
target traffic, then for every 1 % shortfall as compared to the target traffic, the Concession period shall, subject to payment of Concession Fee in accordance with this Agreement, be increased by 1.5% thereof; provided such increase in Concession period shall not in any case exceed 20% of the Concession period.
6.5. Calculation of Weighted Average Cost of Capital for the SPVs
6.5.1. Cost of Equity:
Cost of Equity (CaE) is a discounting factor to calctJate the retums expected by the equity hofde~ depending on the perceived level of risk associated with the business and the industty in which the business operates.
For this purpose, I have used the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which is a commonly used model to determine the appropriate cost of equity for the SPVs.
Page 38 of 64
Strictly Private and Confidential
K(e) '" Rf + [ERP • Beta)] + CSRP
Wherein: K(e) '" cost of equity Rf = rlsk free rate ERP = Equity Risk Premium Beta '" a measure of the sensitivity of assets to retums of the overall market CSRP = Company Specific Risk Premium (In general, an additional company-specific risk
premium will be added to the cost of equity calculated pursuant to CAPM). For valuation exercise, I have arrived at adjusted cost of equity of the SPVs based on the
above calculation (Refer Appendix 2).
6.5.2. Risk Free Rate:
I have applied a risk tree rate of return of 6.63% on the basis of the zero coupon yield curve as on 30'" September 2021 for government securities having a maturity peliod of 10 years. as quoted on the website 01 Clearing Corporation of India Limited rCCIL~) .
6.5.3. Equity Risk Premium ("ERP"):
Equity Risk Premium is a measure d premilJ11 that investors require for investing In equ'ty markets rather than bond or debt maJ'1(ets. The equity risk. premium is estimated based on £X)flsideration 01 historical realised returns on equity investmerts over a risk-free rate as represented by 10 year goverrrnent bonds. Based on the aforementioned . a 7% equity risk
premium for India is considered appropriate.
6.5.4. Beta:
Beta Is a meuure of the sensitivity of a company's stock price to the movements of the overall mafket index. In the present case, I find it appropriate to consider the beta of companies in similar businessf industry to that of the SPVs for an appropriate period.
Based on my analysis of the listed InvlTs and other companies in road infrastructure sectors, I find it appropriate to consider the beta of Ashoka Buildcon Limited and IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited for an appropriate period for the current valuation exercise.
I have further unlevered the beta of such companies based on market debt-equity of the
respective company using the following tOfTTlula: Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta I [1 + (Debt I Equity) *(1-T)]
Further I have re-.levered it based on debt-equity at 50:50 based on the average debt:equity ratio of a Road BOT projed over its life of concession using the follo"";ng formula: Re-Ievered Beta '" Unlevered Beta * 11 + (Debt I Equity) *(1-T)]
Accordingly, as per above, I have arrived at re-Ievered betas of the SPVs. (Refer Appendix 2)
6.5.5. Company Specific Risk Premium ("CSRP".:
Discount Rate is the retum expected by a market participant from a partlcliar investment and shall reflect not only the time value of money but also the risk. inherent in the asset being valued as well 8S the rlsk Inherent in achieving the Mure cash flows. In the present ease, considering the length of the explicit period, the basis of deriving the underlying cash flows
and basis my discussion with Investment Manager, I found it appropriate to consider the follo"";ng CSRPs:

CSRP 0% 0%

6.S.S. Cost of Debt
The calculation of COS1 of Debt posHax can be defined as follows: K(d) = K(d) p,,>-Iax • (1 • T)
Wherein: K(d) = Cost of debt T = tax rale as aPPlicable
FOr valuation exercise, pnHax. oost of debt has been coosidered as 8.2%, as represented by
the Investment Manager.
6.5.7. Debt : Equity Ratio:
In present valuation exercise, I have considered debt equity ratio of 50:50 based on average debtequlty ratio of a Road BOT project over its Ufe of conoession . Accordingly, I have considered lhe same -weightage to arrive at the WACe of the SPVs.
6.S.S. Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC):
The discount rate, or the WACe, is the weighted average of the expected retum on equity and the cost of debt. The weight of each factor is determined based on the company's optimal capital structure.
Formula for calculation of WACC: WACC = (K(d) • Debt {(Debt + Eq"ty)1 + IK(e) • (1 - Debt {(Debt + Equity)))
Accordingly, as per above, I have arrived the WACC for the expitcil period of the SPVs. (Refer Appendix 2).
6.S. At the end of the agreed concession period, the OINf'lership of the road, the obligation to maintain the road and the right to collect tolls from the vehIcles using the road revert to the goverTlT1ent entity that granted the concession by the SPVs. Hence, SPVs are not expected 10 generate cash flow after the expiry of their respective concession agreements. Accordingly, I found It appropriate not to consider terminal period value, which represents the present value at the end of explicit forecast period of all subsequent cash flows to the end of the life of the ass81 or Into perpetuity it the asset has an indefinite life, in this valuation exercise .

10.27. Limitation on account ofCOVID·19 and Uncertainty In Valuation
10.27.1. It is important to highlight that the COVl0-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in valuation. The mitigation In the spread of CQVIO-'9 and commencement of vaccination process has led to relaxation of restrictions and consequent opening up of the economy. However, the second wave and consequent lockdown in many parts of the country continues to impact the economy and consequent business recovery. Accordingly, lhe impact assessment of COVID·19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated "With its nature and durations.
10.27.2. I have been informed by the Investment Manager, that the forecasts I projections provided for the valuation exerdses are prepared after reasonably evaluating and incorporating the impact of outbreak of COVlO-19 pandemic as per prevalent conditions as on date.

The Investment Manager continues to monitor any material changes to Mute economic conditions, v.tI ic:h will be given effect, where relevant, in the respectlve future period.
10.27.3. As of 30'" September 2021 , I understand from the Investment Manager that there has been no material adverse impact to the SPVs' business operations and customer service due to remote wor1c::. The Investment Manager continues to review and modify plans as conditions change. Despite efforts to manage these Impacts to the SPVs, the ultimate Impact of COVlo..19 also depends on factors beyond management's knowledge or control, Including the duration and severity of this outbreak as well as actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate lis public health effects.

The Valuer had provided his Fair Enterprise Valuation of the SPVs as at 30th September 2021 vide his valuation report dated 22"" October 2021 (the "Valuation Report") to the Investment Manager and the Trust.
In this regard, the Investment Manager and the Trust, for their internal evaluation, has requested BTDHC:
