objective, plan, potential, project, pursue, seek to, shall,should, will, would, or other
words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements thatdescribe the strategies, objectives, plans or goals
of IndiGrid and the Projections of Revenue from Operations andCash Flow from Operating Activities are also

statements.
All statements regarding IndiGrids expected financialconditions, results of operations and cash flows, business

from Operating Activities included in this Draft Offer Documentare based on a number of assumptions. For
further details, please see the section entitled Projections ofRevenue from Operations and Cash Flow from
Operating Activities on page 318.
The Valuation Report included in this Draft Offer Document, isbased on certain projections and accordingly,
should be read together with assumptions and notes thereto.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by theforward-looking statements or financial
projections due to certain known or unknown risks oruncertainties associated with the Investment Managers
expectations with respect to, but not limited to, the actualgrowth in the power transmission sector, the
Investment Managers ability to successfully implement thestrategy, growth and expansion plans, cash flow
projections, the outcome of any legal or regulatory changes, thefuture impact of new accounting standards,
regulatory changes pertaining to the power transmission sectorin India and our ability to respond to them, and
general economic and political conditions in India which have animpact on our business activities or
investments, changes in competition and the Project Managersability to operate and maintain the Initial
Portfolio Assets and successfully implement any technologicalchanges. By their nature, certain of the market
risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materiallydifferent from what actually occurs in the future. As a
result, actual future gains, losses or impact on net interestincome and net income could materially differ from
those that have been estimated.
Factors that could cause actual results, performance orachievements of IndiGrid to differ materially include, but
are not limited to, those discussed in the sections entitledRisk Factors, Industry Overview, Business and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Factors by the Directorsof the Investment Manager affecting the
Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Cash Flows, onpages 40, 118, 142 and 179, respectively.
Some of the factors that could cause IndiGrids actual results,performance or achievements to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements and financialinformation include, but are not limited to, the
following:
IndiGrid is a new entity and does not have an establishedoperating history;
We may be unable to operate and maintain our power transmissionprojects to achieve the prescribed availability;
We may lose tariff revenues and incur significant repair andreplacement costs in the event our power transmission projects arerendered inoperable due to force majeure events;
Substantially all our revenues are derived from tariff paymentsreceived from LTTCs. A delay in payments of point of connectioncharges to the CTU by users and customers may adversely affectour
cash flows and results of operations;
As the terms and conditions, including the tariff structureunder the TSAs are generally fixed, we may not be able to offsetincrease in costs, including operation and maintenance costs,solely from tariffs
payable to us under the TSAs;
The ability of the Project Manager to ensure that our powertransmission systems are fully operational at all times may besubject to the limitations of the power grid, existing equipment oroperational risks
outside of their control;
15
The Initial Portfolio Assets may not achieve the projectedfinancial performance referred to in the financial projections,which would adversely affect our ability to meet our projecteddistributions to our
Unitholders;
The assumptions in Projections of Revenue from Operations andCash Flow from Operating Activities are inherently uncertain andare subject to significant business, economic, financial,regulatory and
competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actualresults to differ materially from those
projected;
The Projections of Revenue from Operations and Cash Flow fromOperating Activities assume the successful refinancing of ourexisting indebtedness which are based on term sheets which arenon-
binding;
