These are reviewedat each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflectthe current management estimates.

(vi) Provident Fund
Based on the judgement delivered by the Honorable Supreme Court dated 28 February 2019, past providentfund liability, is not determinable at present, in view of uncertainty on the applicability of the judgementto the Company with respect to timing and the components of its compensation structure. In absence offurther clarification, the Company has been legally advised to await further developments in this matter toreasonably assess the implications on its financial statements, if any.
(a) The Company has a number of claims on customers for price escalation and / or variation in contractwork. In certain cases which are currently under arbitration, the customers have raised counter-claims.The Company has received legal advice that none of the counter-claims are legally tenable. Accordingly noprovision is considered necessary in respect of these counter claims. It also include claims by third parties.
(b) It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of theabove pending resolution of the respective proceedings. The Company does not expect any reimbursementsin respect of the above contingent liabilities other than stated therein above. Future cash outflows inrespect of the above are determinable only on receipt of judgements/ decisions pending with various forums/authorities. The Company does not expect any outflow of economic resources in respect of the above andtherefore no provision is made in respect thereof.
Note 33: The Company's trade receivables and unbilled work-in-progress include amount aggregating I 913.04 Lakhsand I 2,099.68 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 882.79 Lakhs and I 2,494.65 Lakhs), respectively, which represent variousreceivables/ claims which have been raised based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts of certaincompleted/ nearing completion projects. These receivables/ claims are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising dueto client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work; for which Companyis at various stages of negotiations/ discussions/ arbitration/ litigation with the clients. Considering the contractualtenability, progress of negotiations/ discussions/arbitration/ litigations and as legally advised in certain contentiousmatters, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables.
The Company's Managing Director who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company, examinesthe performance of the business and allocates funds on the basis of a single reportable segment i.e. 'Construction'.Further, the Company has operations mainly in India and has no other reportable segment.
Accordingly, the segment revenue, segment results, total carrying amount of segment assets and segment liability,total cost incurred to acquire segment assets and total amount of charge for depreciation during the period, is asreflected in the Standalone Financial Statements as on and for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.
The fair value of the financial assets are included at amounts at which the instruments could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
(a) Fair value of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other currentliabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
(b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameterssuch as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowancesare taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company'sfocus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on itsfinancial performance.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other pricerisk, such as equity price risk. Major financial instruments affected by market risk includes loans and borrowings.
a Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relatesprimarily to the Company's total debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portionof loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax isaffected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observablemarket environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.
Foreign currency risk
The Company has balances in foreign currency and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchangerisk. Foreign currency risk arrises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilitiesdenominated in a currency that is not the company's functional currency (INR). The Company evaluates exchangerate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
During the year, to mitigate the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk, non-INR cash flows are monitoredand forward exchange contracts are entered into in accordance with the Company's risk management policies.Generally, the Company's risk management procedures distinguish short-term foreign currency cash flows (duewithin 6 months) from longer-term cash flows (due after 6 months).
The net effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents as per Ind AS 7 is I 33.52 Lakhs.Non presentation in cash flow has no impact on the profit and loss of the company.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company's exposure in foreign currency is not material and hence the impact of any significant fluctuationin the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact on the operating profits of the Company.
c Equity price risk
The Company's exposure in equity securities as at 31 March 2025 is I 5 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 5 Lakhs) and asa result the impact of any price change will not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Company.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.The maximum exposure of the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables. Company's exposure to creditrisk for receivable from customers (retention - not due) beyond one year is I 21,874.69 Lakhs.
a Trade receivable
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from two main classes of tradereceivables i.e receivables from sale to government corporations and receivables from sales to private thirdparties. A substantial portion of the Company's trade receivables are from government promoted corporationscustomers having strong credit worthiness.
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from government promotedagencies and others:
b Financial assets other than trade receivables
Financial assets other than trade receivables comprise of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances,loan to employees and other financial assets. The Company monitors the credit exposure on these financialassets on a case-to-case basis. Based on the Company's historical experience, the credit risk on other financialassets is also low.
The following table gives details in respect of contract revenues generated from the top customer and top 5customers for each of the reporting period:
Liquidity is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on timeor at a reasonable price. The Company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well assettlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by seniormanagement.

Accordingly, disclosure of revenuerecognised from contracts disaggregated into categories has not been made.
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as at theend of the year is I 17,81,923.84 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 19,28,246.15 Lakhs). Most of Company's contractshave a life cycle of 2-3 years.
