Recent drop in tariffs and concerns about COVID has delayed signing of PPAs for about 19 GWs of auctions already undertaken. Azure's access to low cost capital and established platform can enable significant further growth with projects that have returns well above our cost of capital. Increased competition in recent auctions likely temporary and was driven by the lack of auctions during COVID. We believe that competition in future auctions could moderate with normal levels of auction activity. The maximum solar capacity developed in a year has been ~10 GWs, well below Govt of India's target of 25 30GWs of new capacity annually through 2030. - Significant supply constraints for modules and glass from China. Azure's large development pipeline and supplier relationships are providing a local advantage. An additional 20 GW of transmission from Rajasthan is being planned as part of Solar Energy Zone Ph-III scheme with a target to commission the new transmission system prior to June 2023. Favorable policy/ regulatory changes. Clarity that recovery will occur under change in law for Basic Custom Duty (BCD) imposition. Restrictions related to the Approved List of Modules and Manufactures (ALMM) will only apply to bids that close 30 days after ALMM is notified. ALMM could create a short term module supply disruption as foreign module manufactures may have to be accredited. No Azure project is impacted by ALMM and BCD. Increased focus on developing new ultra-mega solar parks. A new 30 GW solar park in Gujarat is being planned and a 7.5 GW solar park in Leh & Kargil is expected to be retendered. Solar park options could absorb foreign capital due to lower development risks reducing competition for non solar park projects that Azure has a competitive advantage in. Budget proposals to improve DISCOMs and introduce customer choice for supply. The central government is allocating $40bn over five years to upgrade DISCOM infrastructure and technology to make them more efficient and improve DISCOMS financial health. Supply competition is also being introduced to allow greater customer choice, including low cost renewable energy. 14|Copyright © 2021 Azure Power |www.azurepower.com Azure Power®Ⓡ#16The Solar Advantage in India Azure's solar plants have high availability Seasonal Energy Curve Summer Monsoon India-Demand Peak Low Solar-Generation Peak Low India's 450GW Renewable Energy Capacity Addition Roadmap CAGR: 32% 450 100 38 4 2015 Dec'2020 2022E 2030E Electricity Usage per Capita (MWh) 13.1 US: 13x India China: ~5x > India 4.9 1.0 USA China India 6 Other advantages Significant need for new electricity supply Strong Government Installed Solar grew 5 and policy support -60% annually for past 5 yrs Significant amount of solar resource 2 Solar is the cheapest Significant untapped source of potential electricity 4 3 Tariff (US$/kWh) 750GW of solar potential in India 750 Azure PowerⓇ ~100 mn people without direct power source 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 2.8 3.5 Solar Spot Wind electricity Coal Gas Diesel price (GW) ■Potential 38 ■Installed Capacity (Dec-20) Source: Central Electricity Authority (CEA), MNRE, World Bank, Statista 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- INR73.01 to US$1 (New York buying rate of Dec 30, 2020) 15#17Operating and Financial Metrics#18Q3'21 Key Performance Metrics 1,987 MW Operating 10% increase 7,115 MW Operating & Committed 34% increase (1) 1,128 MWs are under construction US$ 0.39mn Project Cost/MW (DC) 10% decrease (2,3) US$ 48.2mn Q3 FY'21 Revenue 16% increase US$ 41.7 million for Q3 FY'20 • 183 MW (277 MW DC) commissioned DC cost per MW US$ 0.45mn YTD FY'20 . since December 2019 • 4,000 MWs are committed (1) • AC cost per MW US$ 0.58mn YTD FY'21 • US$ 150.2 million for YTD FY'21 • 153 MW (236 MW DC) commissioned in Q3 • AC cost per MW US$ 0.61mn YTD FY'20 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.

We present CFe as a supplemental measure of our performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. The presentation of CFe should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. We believe GAAP metrics such as net income (loss) and cash from operating activities do not provide with the same level of visibility into the performance and prospects of our operating business as a result of the long term capital-intensive nature of our businesses, non-cash depreciation and amortization, cash used for debt servicing as well as investments and costs related to the growth of our business. Our business owns high-value, long-lived assets capable of generating substantial Cash Flow to Equity over time. We define CFe as profit before tax (the most comparable GAAP metric), adjusted for net cash provided for used/in operating activities, other than changes in operating assets and liabilities, income and deferred taxes and amortization of hedging costs; less: cash paid for income taxes, debt amortization and maintenance capital expenditure. We believe that changes in operating assets and liabilities is cyclical for cash flow generation of our assets, due to our high growth environment. Furthermore, to reflect the actual cash outflows for income tax, we deduct income and deferred taxes computed under US GAAP and presented in our consolidated financial statements and instead include the actual cash tax outflow during the period, are considered as part of interest expense. We believe that external consumers of our financial statements, including investors and research analysts, use Cash Flow to Equity both to assess Azure Power's performance and as an indicator of its success in generating an attractive risk-adjusted total return, assess the value of the business and the platform. In addition, we use CFe internally to forecast long term financing needs and to determine equity returns on our projects. We have disclosed CFe for our operational assets on a consolidated basis, which is not the Cash from Operations of the Company on a consolidated basis. We believe CFe supplements GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the financial and operating performance of our businesses than would not otherwise be achieved using GAAP results alone. Cash Flow to Equity should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP. We have also bifurcated the CFe into Operational Assets and Others, as defined below, so that users of this financial statement are able to understand the Cash generation from our operational assets. We define our Operational Assets, as the Projects which had commenced operations on or before the year ended June 30, 2020, the operational assets represent the MW operating as of that date. We define Others as the project SPV's which are under construction, or under development - as provided on page 55 of Form 20F, Corporate which includes our three Mauritius entities, the other than projects covered under operational assets, as well as, a company incorporated in USA and other remaining entities under the group. 28|Copyright © 2020 Azure Power |www.azurepower.com ® Azure PowerⓇ#30Cash Flow to Equity (CFe) (US $ million) For the quarter ended December 31, 2019 For the quarter ended December 31, 2020 Operating Others Total Operating Others Total Sale of power Cost of operations General and administrative Adjusted EBITDA 41.7 41.7 48.2 48.2 3.7 3.7 4.2 4.2 4.3 4.9 9.2 1.6 21.1 22.7 33.7 (4.9) 28.8 42.4 (21.1) 21.3 Depreciation and amortization 9.7 0.2 9.9 10.8 0.1 10.9 Operating income/ (loss) 24.0 (5.1) 18.9 31.6 (21.2) 10.4 Interest expense, net 32.4 1.6 34.0 24.3 3.0 27.3 Other expense/ Income (0.1) (0.3) (0.4) 0.1 0.1 Loss on foreign currency exchange, net 0.6 0.3 0.9 Profit/(loss) before Income Tax (8.9) (6.7) (15.6) 7.2 (24.2) (17.0) Add: Depreciation 9.7 0.2 9.9 10.8 0.1 10.9 Add: Foreign exchange loss, net 0.6 0.3 0.9 Add: Ancillary cost of borrowing 3.8 0.3 4.1 0.7 0.3 1.0 Add: Other items from the Statement of Cash Flows (1) 4.5 0.8 5.3 1.9 18.6 20.5 Less: Cash paid for income taxes (1.6) (0.9) (2.5) (1.8) (0.6) (2.4) Less: Debt Amortization (2) (1.0) (1.0) (2.0) (2.0) Less: Maintenance Capital expenditure (3) CFe 7.1(4) (6.0) 1.14) 16.8 (5.8) 11.0 All amounts for the quarter ending December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been translated at an exchange rate- INR 73.01 to US$1 (New York closing rate of December 31, 2020). 29|Copyright © 2020 Azure Power |www.azurepower.com ® Azure PowerⓇ#31Cash Flow to Equity (CFe) - Contd.
