Continued strong growth opportunities despite COVID19. During the quarter, 2.89 GWs of tenders were released and 2.19 GWs of capacity was auctioned. Increasing pressure on DISCOMS to sign Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) with intermediary procurers such as SECI as many DISCOMs are short of meeting their RPOS and recent proposed changes in the Electricity Act would stiffen penalties for not meeting RPO requirements. Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) launched pan-India Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM) in electricity in August 2020. This trading will facilitate price discovery on a continuous basis and can be used to satisfy Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) Regulatory Update Basic Custom Duty (BCD) – The current expectation is that a 10 - 20% BCD will be imposed, which will be in addition to the SGD, although there has not been a final decision. Safe Guard Duty and BCD are pass through as per our PPAs. The Ministry of Power (MOP) has issued draft standard bidding documents to select bidders for acquiring a majority stake in distribution licensees for the distribution and retail sale of electricity. This will help get private players in the distribution business to revive DISCOMS. Numerous positive changes proposed to be included in Electricity Act and Electricity Rules including expediting recovery of change in law events, enshrinement that renewable capacity are “must run", new rules on curtailment, establishment of the Electricity Contract Enforcement Authority focused on contractual disputes, strengthening of payment security mechanisms, requirements to adopt tariffs within certain time limits, and an increase in penalties and enforcement of Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs). 17#19The Solar Advantage in India Azure's solar plants have high availability Seasonal Energy Curve Summer Monsoon India-Demand Peak Low Solar-Generation Peak Low India's 450GW Renewable Energy Capacity Addition Roadmap CAGR: 28% 450 100 38 4 2015 Sept'2020 2022E 2030E Electricity Usage per Capita (MWh) 12.8 US: 11x India - Azure PowerⓇ ~100 mn people without direct power source China: ~4x > India 4.3 0.9 USA China India 6 Other advantages Significant need for new electricity supply Strong Government Installed Solar grew 5 and policy support -60% annually for past 5 yrs Significant amount of solar resource 2 Solar is the cheapest Significant untapped source of potential electricity 4 3 Tariff (US$/kWh) 750GW of solar potential in India 750 Irradiation (kWh/m2) 5.1 4.8 4.7 4.2 3.8 India Spain US Australia Italy Solar is 8% of India's Installed Capacity Hydro 13% Thermal 63% Nuclear 2% Other Renewable 4% O Wind 10% Solar 8% US Cents/kWh 2.7 3.5 Solar Spot Wind electricity price Coal Gas Diesel (GW) ■ Potential 38 Installed Capacity (Sept-20) Source: Central Electricity Authority (CEA), MNRE, World Bank, Reuters, Deloitte Industry Report; Solar and Wind tariffs are L! of SECI auctions over last 12 months: Coal, Gas, Diesel tariffs are from Lazard LCOE Study Nov 2019 Exchange rate- INR73.54 to US$1 (New York buying rate of Sept 30, 2020) 18#20Operating and Financial Metrics#212Q FY'21 Key Performance Metrics Azure Power $ $ 1,834 MW Operating 2% increase 7,115 MW Operating & Committed (1) 111% increase US$ 0.45m Project Cost/MW (DC) 2% increase(2)(3) US$ 14.5m Q2 CFe from Operating Assets 50% increase (2) US$ 9.7 million# for Q2 Sep 19 • US$ 36.8 million# for YTD Sep 20 36 MW (116 MW DC) commissioned since September 2019 • 1,281 MWs are under construction • DC cost per MW US$ 0.45m for Sep 19 • • 4,000 MWs are committed (1) .

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with USGAAP GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to USGAAP GAAP measures of performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss (income) plus (a) income tax expense, (b) interest expense, net, (c) depreciation and amortization, and (d) loss (income) on foreign currency exchange. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: •Securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities; and ⚫it is used by our management for internal reporting and planning purposes, including aspects of its consolidated operating budget and capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under USGAAP GAAP. Some of these limitations include: ⚫it does not reflect its cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments or foreign exchange gain/loss; ⚫it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; ⚫it does not reflect significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on its outstanding debt; ⚫it does not reflect payments made or future requirements for income taxes; and ⚫although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or paid in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or payments. Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis.
