Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal orconstructive) as a result of a past events and it is probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and areliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using acurrent pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time isrecognised as a finance cost.
• a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
• a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balancesheet date.
j. Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use ofan identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company as a lessee
From 1 April 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a correspondingliability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company.Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocatesthe consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based ontheir relative stand-alone prices.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present valuebasis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in -substance fixed payments), less any leaseincentives receivable
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measuredusing the index or rate as at the commencement date
• amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees, if any
• the exercise price of a purchase option if any, if the Company is reasonablycertain to exercise that option
• payment for penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects theCompany exercising that option
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If therate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in theCompany, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that theindividual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an assetof similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similarterms, security and conditions.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost ischarged to the statement of profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce aconstant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for eachperiod. Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in thestatement of profit and loss in the period in which the condition that triggers thosepayments occurs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful lifeand the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain toexercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlyingassets useful life.
Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis asan expense in the statement of profit and loss. Short term leases are the leases with alease term of 12 months or less. Further, rental payments for the land where leaseperiod is considered to be indefinite or indeterminable, these are charged off to thestatement of profit and loss.
k. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit after taxattributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed bydividing adjusted net profit after tax by the aggregate of weighted average number ofequity shares and dilutive potential equity shares during the year.
l. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand,cheques on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months orless, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash and short-term deposits, as defined above.
m. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives and certaininvestments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financialstatements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows,based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as awhole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assetsor liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significantto the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significantto the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheet on a recurring basis,the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in thehierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that issignificant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reportingperiod.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes ofassets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset orliability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
n. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity anda financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a) Financial assetsClassification
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost,fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on thebasis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cashflows characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financialassets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that areattributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in belowcategories:
• Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within abusiness model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cashflows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amountoutstanding.
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensiveincome if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by bothcollecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms ofthe financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made anirrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments topresent the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based onits business model.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequentlyfair valued through profit or loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from theasset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows fromthe asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model formeasurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are tradereceivables or contract revenue receivables and all lease receivables.
(b) Financial liabilities
Classification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortizedcost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities,including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans andborrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’sfinancial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bankoverdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as describedbelow:
• Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequentlymeasured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized inprofit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIRamortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium onacquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization isincluded as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held fortrading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value throughprofit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred forthe purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivativefinancial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedginginstruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embeddedderivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effectivehedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit andloss.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is dischargedor cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another fromthe same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability aresubstantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognitionof the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in therespective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
o. Unless specifically stated to be otherwise, these policies are consistently followed.
2.3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to makejudgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosureof contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates andassumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experienceand other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions andestimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carryingamount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significantjudgements, estimates and assumptions are required. Further information on each ofthese areas and how they impact the various accounting policies are described belowand also in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Changes in estimates areaccounted for prospectively.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has madethe following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amountsrecognized in the financial statements:
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation toclaims against the Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims.By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain futureevents occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum,of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and the useof estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimationuncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financialyear, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates onparameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, maychange due to market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of theCompany. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
(a) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that anasset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing foran asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. Anasset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs ofdisposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the assetdoes not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assetsor groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds itsrecoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to itsrecoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to theirpresent value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments ofthe time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair valueless costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no suchtransactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Thesecalculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publiclytraded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.
(b) Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and thepresent value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarialvaluation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, futuresalary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexitiesinvolved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highlysensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at eachreporting date.
(c) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balancesheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value ismeasured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to thesemodels are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is notfeasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgementsinclude considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changesin assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financialinstruments.
(d) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk ofdefault and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgments in making theseassumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based onCompany’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward lookingestimates at the end of each reporting period.
