SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION TO THE OFFERING CIRCULAR
The following is an update to the risk factor on page 76 in the
Offering Circular, which should be read in conjunction with all
other information in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the
Offering Circular.
Certain contractors with whom the Issuer operates are subject to
U.S. and international trade restrictions, economic embargoes and
sanctions.
In response to the actions and policies of the Government of the
Russian Federation, including actions in Ukraine and the purported
annexation of Ukraine, the United States and the EU have initiated
sanctions relating to Russia and Ukraine. Specifically, the U.S.
has authorised sanctions against: (i) individuals and entities
determined to be contributing to the on-going situation in Ukraine
(U.S. Executive Order 13660); (ii) officials of the Russian
Government and any individual or entity that is owned or controlled
by, that has acted for or on behalf of, or that has provided
material or other support to, a senior Russian government official
(U.S. Executive Order 13661); and (iii) persons and entities
operating in key Russian business sectors, including financial
services, energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defence and
related materials (U.S. Executive Order 13662). The U.S. has also
authorised so-called "sectoral sanctions" against various Russian
entities pursuant to U.S. Executive Order 13662 in the form of four
Directives which embody specific prohibitions on dealings with
these entities. These "sectoral sanctions" are incorporated into
the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List. Numerous individuals
and some entities have been sanctioned pursuant to these
measures.
The Issuer is currently working on the construction of a thermal
power plant in each of Barh, Bihar (the Barh Stage-I project) and
Sipat, near Bilaspur (the Sipat Stage-I project). The Issuer had
entered into engineering, procurement and construction contracts
with a contractor called Power Machines PJSC, a Russian entity
which provides power generation equipment, in relation to the
provision of turbine generator systems for the Sipat Stage-I
Project and Barh Stage-I Project in 2004 and 2005, respectively
(the Power Machine Contracts). On 26 January 2018, Power Machines
PJSC was included in the "Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons" list maintained by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. The quantum of the
Power Machines Contracts is less than 1% of the Issuer's total
revenue. Subject to extensions under certain circumstances, the
Power Machine Contracts in relation to the Sipat Stage-I Project
and the Barh Stage-I project are scheduled to expire in or around
March 2018 and September 2018 respectively. The Issuer will not use
the proceeds from the issue of the Notes to pay any outstanding
amounts due under the Power Machine Contracts. As of the date
hereof, save for the Power Machines Contracts, the Company does not
have any relationship with entities that are the subject of U.S. or
international sanctions.
There can be no assurance that further or expanded sanctions
with respect to Russia or Ukraine will not affect the Issuer's
operations that involve the use of Russian contractors. There can
be no assurance that other persons and entities that the Issuer,
now or in the future, engages in transactions and employment will
not be subject to U.S. and international sanctions, which could
have a negative impact on its ability to raise funds in
international capital markets and on the marketability of its
securities. Furthermore, as a result of its business activities
with entities that are subject to sanctions, the Issuer may itself
become subject to sanctions, in addition to negative media or
investor attention, which may adversely affect the Issuer.

REVIEWED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER AND NINE MONTHSED 31
DECEMBER 2017
INDEPENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
To
The Board of Directors,
NTPC Limited,
New Delhi.
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of Standalone
Unaudited Financial Results of NTPC Limited for the quarter and
nine-months ended 31 December 2017 prepared by the Company pursuant
to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as
modified by the Circular No. CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5 July 2016.
This statement is the responsibility of the Company's Management
and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility
is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our
review.
We have conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on
Review Engagement (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity",
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This
standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain
moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to
inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to
financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We
have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an
audit opinion.
Without modifying our report, attention is invited to Note No. 3
(a) & 3 (b) to the statement of standalone unaudited financial
results referred to above regarding accounting of sales on
provisional basis & measurement of GCV of coal.
Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement
of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results read with notes thereon,
prepared in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other recognised
accounting practices and policies thereon has not disclosed the
information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of
the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015 as modified by the Circular No.
CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5 July 2016 including the manner in which
it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material
misstatement.
