Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosedin the notes unless the possibility of an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assetsare disclosed in the financial statements only when theinflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent liabilityand Contingent assets are reviewed at each reporting date.Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure,classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contractsremaining to be executed on capital account and not providedfor. Other commitments related to sales/procurements madein the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoidexcessive details.
Tax expense represents the sum of the current income tax anddeferred tax.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at theamount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxationauthorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute theamount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted inIndia, at the reporting date. Interest expenses and penalties,if any, related to income tax are included in finance cost andother expenses respectively. Interest Income, if any, related toincome tax is included in other income.
The Company periodically evaluates positions taken in thetax returns with respect to situations in which applicable taxregulations are subject to interpretation and establishesprovisions where appropriate.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset wherethe Company has a legally enforceable right to offset therecognised amount and intends either to settle on a net basis,or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.Deferred tax:
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences betweenthe tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.A deferred tax liability is recognised based on the expectedmanner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount ofassets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted, or substantivelyenacted, by the end of the reporting period. Deferred taxassets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused taxlosses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent thatit is probable that taxable profit will be available against whichthe deductible temporary differences and the carry forward ofunused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT)paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, to the extent itwould be available for set off against future current income taxliability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax assetin the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliablyand it is probable that the future economic benefit associatedwith the asset will be realised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at eachreporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longerprobable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allowall or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the taxrates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset isrealised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and taxlaws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date.
Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in statementof profit and loss, except when they relate to items that arerecognised in other comprehensive income or directly inequity respectively.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset whenthe Company has legally enforceable right to offset current taxassets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assetsand the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied bythe same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.Non-current assets held for sale/ distribution to ownersand discontinued operations
The Company classifies non-current assets (or disposalgroups) as held for sale if their carrying amounts will berecovered principally through a sale rather than throughcontinuing use. Held for sale is classified only if the asset(or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in itspresent condition subject only to the terms that are usual andcustomary for sale for such assets (or disposal group) and itssale is highly probable i.e. Management is committed to sale,which is expected to be completed within one year from dateof classification.
Sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets forother non-current assets when the exchange has commercialsubstance. Non-current assets (or disposal group) that is to beabandoned are not classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups aremeasured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fairvalue less costs to sell except financial assets within the scopeof Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments. Assets and liabilitiesclassified as held for sale are presented separately in thebalance sheet.
The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes useof management estimates and assumptions. The fair valueof asset held for sale has been estimated using observableinputs.
Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated oramortised. Interest and other expenses attributable to theliabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale arecontinue to be recognised.
Non-current asset (or disposal group) is reclassified from heldto sale if the criteria are no longer met and measured at lowerof:
[i] Its carrying amount before the asset (or Disposalgroup) was classified as held for sale, adjusted for anydepreciation, amortisation or revaluations that wouldhave been recognised had the asset (or disposal group)not been classified as held for sale, and
[ii] Its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequentdecision not to sell.
Any adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-current assetthat ceases to be classified as held for sale is charged toprofit or loss from continuing operations in the period in whichcriteria are no longer met.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is acomponent of an entity that either has been disposed off, or isclassified as held for sale, and:
[i] Represents a separate major line of business orgeographical area of operations
[ii] Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of aseparate major line of business or geographical area ofoperations, or
[iii] Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as,derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an assetor paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date. The fair valuemeasurement is based on the presumption that the transactionto sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
[i] In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
[ii] In the absence of a principal market, in the mostadvantageous market accessible by the Company for theasset or liability.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using theassumptions that market participants would use when pricingthe asset or liability, assuming that market participants act intheir economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes intoaccount a market participant's ability to generate economicbenefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or byselling it to another market participant that would use the assetin its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate inthe circumstances and for which sufficient data are available tomeasure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observableinputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured ordisclosed in the financial statements are categorised within thefair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowestlevel input that is significant to the fair value measurement asa whole:
[i] Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in activemarkets for identical assets or liabilities
[ii] Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurement isdirectly or indirectly observable
[iii] Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurement isunobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financialstatements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Companydetermines whether transfers have occurred between levelsin the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (basedon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.The Company determines the policies and procedures forboth recurring fair value measurement, such as derivativeinstruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fairvalue, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assetsheld for distribution in discontinued operations.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significantassets, such as properties and unquoted financial assets,and significant liabilities, such as contingent consideration.Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation,independence and whether professional standards aremaintained.
At each reporting date, the Company analyses the movementsin the values of assets and liabilities which are requiredto be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company'saccounting policies. For this analysis, the Company verifiesthe major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeingthe information in the valuation computation to contracts andother relevant documents.
The Company, in conjunction with the Company's externalvaluers, also compares the change in the fair value of eachasset and liability with relevant external sources to determinewhether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company hasdetermined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of thenature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and thelevel of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Convertible Preference Shares/ Bonds [Liability]
Convertible Preference Shares/ Bonds are separated intoliability and equity components based on the terms of thecontract.
On issuance of the convertible Preference Shares/ Bonds,the fair value of the liability component is determined usinga market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument.This amount is classified as a financial liability measured atamortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguishedon conversion or redemption.
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversionoption that is recognised as equity. Transaction costs are
deducted from equity, net of associated income tax. Thecarrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasuredin subsequent years.
Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability andequity components of the Preference Shares/ Bonds basedon the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equitycomponents when the instruments are initially recognised.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing netprofit after tax by the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings perequity share is computed by dividing adjusted net profit aftertax by the aggregate of weighted average number of equityshares and dilutive potential equity shares during the year.Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when theCompany becomes a party to the contractual provisions of theinstruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet compriseunrestricted cash at banks and on hand and unrestrictedshort-term deposits with an original maturity of three monthsor less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changesin value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash andcash equivalents consist of unrestricted cash and short-termdeposits.
Initial Recognition & measurements
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair valueincluding transaction costs unless they are classified at fairvalue through profit and loss, in which case the transactioncosts are expensed immediately. However, trade receivablesthat do not contain a significant financing component areinitially measured at transaction price. Subsequent to initialrecognition, these instruments are measured in accordancewith their classification as set out below.
Subsequent measurement
Measurement of financial assets is done as below:
[i] Amortised cost, if the financial asset is held within abusiness model whose object is to hold financial assets inorder to collect contractual cash flows and the contractualterms of the financial asset give rise on specific datesto cash flows that are solely payments of principal andinterest on the principal amount outstanding,
[ii] Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures
The Company has accounted for its investments in equityshares and compulsory convertible preference sharesof subsidiaries, associates and joint venture at cost lessaccumulated impairment losses, if any except when theseinvestments are classified as held for sale. On disposal ofinvestments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture, thedifference between net disposal proceeds and the carryingamounts are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
Other Equity Investments
All equity investments [other than investment in Subsidiaries,Associates and Joint Ventures] are measured at fair value, withvalue changes recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
In case of funding to subsidiary companies in the form ofinterest free or concession loans and preference shares,the excess of the actual amount of the funding over initiallymeasured fair value is accounted as an equity investment.De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financialasset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarilyde-recognised when:
[i] The rights to receive cash flows from the asset haveexpired, or
[ii] The Company has transferred its rights to receive cashflows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to paythe received cash flows in full without material delay toa third party under a ‘pass-through' arrangement; andeither (a) the Company has transferred substantially allthe risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Companyhas neither transferred nor retained substantially all therisks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred controlof the asset.
On derecognising of a financial asset in its entirety, thedifference between the asset's carrying amount and the sumof the consideration received or receivable and the cumulativegain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensiveincome and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit orloss.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with IND AS 109, the Company applies ExpectedCredit Loss (ECL) Model for measurement & recognition ofimpairment loss on the following financial assets & credit riskexposure.
[i] Financial assets that are debt instruments, and aremeasured at amortised cost, e.g. loans, debt securities,deposits, trade receivables and bank balance.
[ii] Financial assets that are debt instruments and aremeasured as at FVTPL.
[iii] Lease receivables under Ind AS 17.
[iv] Trade receivables
[v] Contract assets
[vi] Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL.
[vii] Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured asat FVTPL.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition ofimpairment loss allowance on:
[i] Trade receivables including contract assets; and
[ii] All lease receivables resulting from transactions within thescope of Ind AS 17
The application of simplified approach does not require theCompany to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognisesimpairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at eachreporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assetsand risk exposure, the Company determines that whether
there has been a significant increase in the credit risk sinceinitial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly,12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However,if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used.If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrumentimproves such that there is no longer a significant increasein credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts torecognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-monthECL.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) is recognizedduring the period as income / expense in the statement ofprofit and loss.
Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractualrevenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presentedas an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurementof those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reducesthe net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria,the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from thegross carrying amount.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss,the Company combines financial instruments on the basisof shared credit risk characteristics with the objective offacilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significantincreases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Equity Instruments and Financial liabilitiesEquity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residualinterest in the assets of the Company after deducting all ofits liabilities. Equity instruments which are issued for cash arerecorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.Equity instruments which are issued for consideration otherthan cash are recorded at fair value of the equity instrument.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition & measurement
All Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value andin case of loan & borrowings and payable, net-off directlyattributable transaction cost.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and otherpayables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts,financial guarantee contracts and derivative financialinstruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on theirclassification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss [FVTPL]
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includefinancial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilitiesdesignated upon initial recognition as at fair value throughprofit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held fortrading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasingin the near term. This category also includes derivativefinancial instruments entered into by the Company that are notdesignated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships asdefined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives arealso classified as held for trading unless they are designatedas effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognisedin the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fairvalue through profit or loss are designated as such at the initialdate of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 aresatisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognizedin OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred toP&L. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gainor loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of suchliability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings at amortised costAfter initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowingsare subsequently measured at amortised cost using theEffective Interest Rate [EIR] method. Gains and losses arerecognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognisedas well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account anydiscount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that arean integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included asfinance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Where the terms of a financial liability is re-negotiated and theCompany issues equity instruments to extinguish all or part ofthe liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss; measured as a differencebetween the carrying amount of the financial liability and thefair value of equity instrument issued.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Companyare those contracts that require a payment to be made toreimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specifieddebtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance withthe terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contractsare recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted fortransaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuanceof the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured atthe higher of the amount of loss allowance determined asper impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amountrecognised less cumulative amortisation.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation underthe liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When anexisting financial liability is replaced by another from the samelender on substantially different terms, or the terms of anexisting liability are substantially modified, such an exchangeor modification is treated as the derecognition of the originalliability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference inthe respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statementof profit or loss.
Embedded derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined)instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract -with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combinedinstrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative. Anembedded derivative causes some or all of the cash flows thatotherwise would be required by the contract to be modifiedaccording to a specified interest rate, financial instrumentprice, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices
or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, providedin the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is notspecific to a party to the contract. Reassessment only occursif there is either a change in the terms of the contract thatsignificantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise berequired or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fairvalue through profit or loss.
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial assetwithin the scope of Ind AS 109, the Company does not separateembedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classificationrequirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybridcontract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contractsare accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fairvalue if their economic characteristics and risks are not closelyrelated to those of the host contracts and the host contractsare not held for trading or designated at fair value thoughprofit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured atfair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss,unless designated as effective hedging instruments.
The Company reclassify all affected financial assetsprospectively when, and only when Company changes itsbusiness model for managing financial assets but financialliability is not reclassified in any case.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the netamount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currentlyenforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts andthere is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise theassets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisitionaccounting method as at the date of the acquisition, which isthe date at which control is transferred to the Company. Theconsideration transferred in the acquisition and the identifiableassets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognisedat fair values on their acquisition date. Goodwill is initiallymeasured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of theconsideration transferred and the amount recognised for noncontrolling interests, and any previous interest held, over thenet identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, other than thoseincurred in relation to the issue of debt or equity securities. Anycontingent consideration payable is measured at fair value atthe acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value ofcontingent consideration are recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss.
Operating Segment
The Operating Segment is the level at which discrete financialinformation is available. The “Chief Operating Decision Maker”(CODM) allocates resources and assess performance atthis level. The Company has identified the below operatingsegments:
1. Construction
2. Cement
3. Hotel / Hospitality & Golf Course
4. Real Estate
5. Power
6. InvestmentsExceptional items
An item of income or expense which by its size, type or incidencerequires disclosure in order to improve an understanding of theperformance of the Company is treated as an exceptional itemand disclosed as such in the financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgmentsAreas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity,and items which are more likely to be materially adjusteddue to estimates and assumptions turning out to be differentthan those originally assessed are given here under. Detailedinformation about each of these estimates and judgments isincluded in relevant notes together with information about thebasis of calculation for each affected line item in the financialstatements.
(i) Carrying value of exposure in subsidiary and associatecompanies
Equity investments in subsidiaries and associatesare carried at cost. At each balance sheet date, themanagement assesses the indicators of impairment ofsuch equity investments. This requires assessment ofseveral external and internal factor which may affect thecarrying value of equity investments in subsidiaries andassociates. Similar assessment is carried for exposureof the nature of investment in preference shares, loansand other receivables from subsidiaries and associates.A degree of judgement is required in establishingrecoverable amount. Judgements include considerationsof inputs such as expected earnings in future years,liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes inassumptions about these factors could affect the reportedfair value of these investments.
(ii) Evaluation of indicator of impairment of assets
The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairmentof assets requires assessment of several external andinternal factors which could result in deterioration ofrecoverable amount of assets.
(iii) Net realisable value of inventory and Inventory write down
The determination of net realisable value of inventoryinvolves estimates based on prevailing market conditions,current prices and expected date of commencementand completion of the Real Estate project, the estimatedfuture selling price, cost to complete projects, selling costand other factors.
(iv) Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognisedis based on an assessment of the probability of the futuretaxable income against which the deferred tax assets canbe utilised.
(v) Probable outcome of matters included under ContingentLiabilities
At each balance sheet date basis the managementjudgment, changes in facts and legal aspects, theCompany assesses the requirement of provisions againstthe outstanding contingent liabilities. However the actualfuture outcome may be different from this judgment.
(vi) Estimation of Defined benefit obligationManagement's estimate of the defined benefit obligationis based on a number of underlying assumptions suchas standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rateand anticipation of future salary increases. Valuation inthese assumptions may significantly impact the definedbenefit obligation amount and the annual defined benefitexpenses.
(vii) Estimated useful life of PPE and intangible assetsUseful lives of tangible and intangible assets are basedon the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Act. In cases,where the useful lives are different from that prescribed inSchedule II of the Act, they are based on internal technicalevaluation. Assumptions are also made, when theCompany assesses, whether an asset may be capitalisedand which components of the cost of the asset may becapitalised. The estimation of residual value of assets isbased on management's judgment about the condition ofsuch asset at the point of sale of asset.
(viii) Fair value measurement of financial instrumentsManagement applies valuation techniques to determinethe fair value of financial instruments (where active marketquotes are not available). This involves developingestimates and assumptions consistent with how marketparticipates would price the instrument.
(ix) Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in themeasurement of both the right-of-use asset and leaseliability. Judgment is exercised in determining whetherthere is reasonable certainty that an option to extendthe lease or purchase the underlying asset will beexercised, or an option to terminate the lease will notbe exercised, when ascertaining the periods to beincluded in the lease term. In determining the lease term,all facts and circumstances that create an economicalincentive to exercise an extension option, or not toexercise a termination option, are considered at the leasecommencement date. Factors considered may includethe importance of the asset to the Company's operations;comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing marketrates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence ofsignificant leasehold improvements; and the costs anddisruption to replace the asset. The Company reassesseswhether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extensionoption, or not exercise a termination option, if there is asignificant event or significant change in circumstances.Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readilydetermined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated todiscount future lease payments to measure the presentvalue of the lease liability at the lease commencementdate. Such a rate is based on what the Companyestimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow
the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar valueto the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security andeconomic environment.
(x) Contract estimates
The Company, being a part of construction industry,prepares estimates in respect of each project to computeproject profitability. The two major components of contractestimate are ‘claims arising during construction period'(described below) and ‘estimated costs to complete thecontract'. While estimating these components variousassumptions are considered by the management suchas (i) Work execution in the manner expected so thatthe project is completed timely (ii) consumption patterns
(iii) Assets utilisation (iv) wastage at normal level (v) nochange in design and the geological factors will be sameas communicated and (vi) price escalations etc. Dueto such complexities involved in the estimate process,contract estimates are highly sensitive to changes inthese assumptions.
(xi) Recoverability of claims
The Company has claims in respect of cost over-runarising due to client caused delays, suspension ofprojects, deviation in design and change in scope of worketc., which are at various stages of negotiation / discussionwith the clients or under arbitration. The realisability ofthese claims are estimated based on contractual terms,historical experience with similar claims. Changes in factsof the case or the legal framework may impact realisabilityof these claims. The Company assesses the carrying valueof various claims periodically and makes adjustments foramount arising from the legal/ arbitration proceedings/negotiation with the clients that they may be involved infrom time to time. Interest on claims being awarded onfavourable arbitration / legal proceedings is recognisedas interest income that reflects the consideration theCompany has received or expects to receive.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They arebased on historical experience and other factors, includingexpectations of future events that may have a financial impacton the Company and that are believed to be reasonable underthe circumstances.

Financial Risk Management
The Company's business activities are exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's focus is to foresee theunpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
The Company is undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) in accordance with the provisions of Insolvency &Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) which may impact the risk disclosed below.
(a) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. Credit risk encompassesof both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. The exposureof the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables, contract assets, cash and cash equivalents, investments, Loansand Other receivable. Trade receivables, Contract assets, Loans and Other receivables are typically unsecured.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals,establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants creditterms in the normal course of business. The Contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and substantially the samerisk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts. The Company has therefore concluded thatthe expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets. Onaccount of the adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses Expected Credit Loss [ECL] model to assess the impairment lossor gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the ECL allowance for trade receivables and contract assets. The
provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit ratings from credit ratingagencies, financial conditions, ageing of accounts receivables and the Company's historical experience for customers.
The expected credit loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales and historical credit losses experienced. Thehistorical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting theability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Company monitors the credit exposure on other financial assets oncase to case basis.
Security
For some trade receivables, the Company has obtained security deposits which can be called upon if the counterparty is in
default under the terms of the agreement.
The following financial assets are subject to the expected credit loss [ECL] model:
- trade receivables
- contract assets
- debt investments
- loans and other receivables carried at amortised cost
Credit Risk Exposure
The allowance for life time ECL on trade receivables, contract assets and receivable from related parties for the year ended 31st
March, 2025 is ' 11635 Lakhs [Previous year ' 3846 Lakhs (reversal)].
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and bank balances is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with bank.Investments primarily include investments in quoted and unquoted equity shares, preference shares and quoted bonds. Creditrisk on investments measured at amortised cost is considered to be negligible credit risk investment. The Company considersthe instruments to be negligible credit risk when they have no risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet itscontractual cash flow obligations in the near term.
[b] Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Prudentliquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of fundingthrough an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due.
[i] Liquidity Risk Management
The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bankoverdrafts, bank loans, debentures, bonds and lease arrangements. The Company assessed the concentration of risk withrespect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources offunding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.
The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet operationalneeds. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management andother operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required) and any excess is investedin interest bearing term deposits and other highly marketable debt investments with appropriate maturities to optimise thecash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
[i] Foreign Currency Risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchangerates. The company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency borrowings [ECB]. Foreign currencyrisk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is notthe Company's functional currency (INR).
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company's risk management committee is responsible to frame, implement and monitor the risk management planof the Company. The committee carry out risk assessment with regard to foreign exchange variances and suggests riskminimization procedures and implement the same.
Foreign Currency Risk Exposure
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR are as follows:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesin market interest rates.
The Company's main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Companyto cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore notsubject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuatebecause of a change in market interest rate.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company's risk management committee ensures all the current and future material risk exposures are identified,assessed, quantified, appropriately mitigated, minimised, managed and critical risks when impact the achievement of theCompany's objective or threatens its existence are periodically reviewed.
Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all otherequity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The objective of the Company's capital management is to safeguard their abilityto continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits other stakeholdersand maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makesadjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants.
