A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arisesfrom past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events beyond the control of theCompany or a present obligation that is not recognisedbecause it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation. A contingentliability also arises in extremely rare cases where thereis a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannotbe measured reliably. The Company does not recognisea contingent liability but discloses its existence in thestandalone financial statements.
A contingent asset is not recognised unless it becomesvirtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits willarise. When an inflow of economic benefits is probable,contingent assets are disclosed in the standalonefinancial statements.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewedat each balance sheet date.
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis theexpected credit losses associated with its assets carriedat amortised cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. Theimpairment methodology applied depends on whetherthere has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies thesimplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 FinancialInstruments, which requires expected lifetime losses tobe recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made ofthe amount of the obligation. The expense relating to aprovision is presented in the statement of profit and lossnet of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific tothe liability. When discounting is used, the increase inthe provision due to the passage of time is recognisedas a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the currentbest estimates.
The Company accounts for the investments in equityshares of subsidiaries and joint ventures at costin accordance with Ind AS 27- Separate FinancialStatements. The Company reviews its carrying value ofinvestments carried at amortised cost annually, or morefrequently when there is indication for impairment. If therecoverable amount is less than its carrying amount,the impairment loss is accounted for. On disposalof investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, thedifference between net disposal proceeds and thecarrying amounts are recognised in the StandaloneStatement of Profit and Loss.
From the quarter ended December 31, 2024, pursuantto the requirements of Ind AS 28, “Investment in Jointventures and Associates” read with Ind AS 27 “SeparateFinancial Statements”, the Company’s assessed itseligible joint venture investments are measured at fairvalue through profit and loss in accordance with Ind
AS 109 rather than using cost method. (Refer note 29).As per Ind AS 28, this election is used for investmentswherein there is demonstrable features such as, fairvalue being the primary measurement attribute used,fair value information of the eligible investments beingused internally used by the Company’s key managementpersonnel and also being provided to the investors.
In addition, the Company also considers presence ofcertain typical characteristics, including, having morethan one investment, to diversify the risk portfolio andmaximise returns; having multiple nonrelated partyinvestors whose object is to maximise investmentopportunities; and having ownership interests in theform of equity or similar interests.
Employee benefits include salaries, wages, contributionto provident fund, gratuity, leave encashment towardsun-availed leave, compensated absences, post¬retirement medical benefits and other terminal benefits.
Wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefitsthat are expected to be settled within 12 months afterthe end of the period in which the employees render therelated service are recognised in respect of employees’services up to the end of the reporting period and aremeasured at the amounts expected to be paid whenthe liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presentedas current employee benefit obligations in the balancesheet. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-termemployee benefits are measured at the undiscountedamount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchangefor the related service.
Retirement benefits in the form of providentfund are a defined contribution scheme and thecontributions are charged to the standalonestatement of profit and loss of the period whenthe employee renders related services. There areno other obligations other than the contributionpayable to the respective authorities.
The Company has maintained a Company GratuityScheme with M/s. Life Insurance Corporation ofIndia (LIC) managed by a separate Trust, towardswhich it annually contributes a sum based on theactuarial valuation made by M/s. LIC. Gratuityliability for eligible employees are defined benefitobligation and are provided for on the basis of an
actuarial valuation on projected unit credit methodmade at the end of each financial year. Obligation ismeasured at the present value of estimated futurecash flows using discounted rate that is determinedby reference to market yields at the balance sheetdate on Government Securities where the currencyand terms of the Government Securities areconsistent with the currency and estimated termsof the defined benefit obligation.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains andlosses excluding amounts included in net interest on thenet defined benefit liability are recognised immediatelyin the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or creditto retained earnings through OCI in the period in whichthey occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified tostatement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in statement of profitand loss on the earlier of:
• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
• The date that the Group recognises relatedrestructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rateto the net defined benefit liability or asset.
The Company recognises the following changes in thenet defined benefit obligation as an employee benefitexpense in the statement of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments andnon-routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or incomeLeave Encashment
As per the leave encashment policy of the Company,the employees have to utilise their eligible leave duringthe calendar year and lapses at the end of the calendaryear. Accruals towards compensated absences atthe end of the financial year are based on last salarydrawn and outstanding leave absence at the end of thefinancial year.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-termemployee benefits are measured at the present valueof the estimated future cash outflows expected to bemade by the Company in respect of services providedby employees up to the reporting date.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise toa financial asset of one entity and a financial liability orequity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair valueplus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fairvalue through profit or loss, transaction costs that areattributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified asmeasured of
• Amortised cost
• FVOCI - Debt instruments
• FVOCI - equity instruments
• FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent totheir initial recognition, except if and in the period, theCompany changes its business model for managingfinancial assets.
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at its amortised cost ifboth the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whoseobjective is to hold assets for collecting contractualcash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specifieddates to cash flows that are solely paymentsof principal and interest (SPPI) on the principalamount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets aresubsequently measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised costis calculated by taking into account any discount orpremium on acquisition and fees or costs that are anintegral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is includedin other income in the statement of profit and loss. Thelosses arising from impairment are recognised in thestatement of profit and loss.
This category is the most relevant to the Company.
A ‘debt instrument’ is classified at FVTOCI if both of thefollowing criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achievedboth by collecting contractual cash flows andselling the financial assets, and
b) The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI categoryare measured initially as well as at each reporting dateat fair value.
Fair value movements are recognized in the othercomprehensive income (OCI). However, the Companyrecognizes interest income, impairment losses &reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Profitand Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulativegain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassifiedfrom the equity to Profit and Loss. Interest earned whilstholding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interestincome using the EIR method.
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost orFVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss.Interest income from these financial assets is includedin other income.
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 aremeasured at fair value. Equity instruments which are heldfor trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equityinstruments, the Company may make an irrevocableelection to present in other comprehensive incomesubsequent changes in the fair value.
The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initialrecognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrumentas at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on theinstrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in theOCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI tostandalone statement of profit and loss, even on saleof investment. However, the Company may transfer thecumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL categoryare measured at fair value with all changes recognisedin the standalone statement of profit and loss.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of afinancial asset or part of a Company of similar financialassets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from theCompany’s balance sheet) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset haveexpired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cashflows from the asset or has assumed an obligation topay the received cash flows in full without material layto a 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 allthe risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferredcontrol of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receivecash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass¬through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extentit has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Whenit has neither transferred nor retained substantially allof the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferredcontrol of the asset, the Company continues to recognisethe transferred asset to the extent of the Company’scontinuing involvement. In that case, the Company alsorecognises an associated liability. The transferred assetand the associated liability are measured on a basis thatreflects the rights and obligations that the Companyhas retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of aguarantee over the transferred asset is measured at thelower of the original carrying amount of the asset andthe maximum amount of consideration that the Companycould be required to repay.
In accordance with lnd AS 109, the Company appliesexpected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement andrecognition of impairment loss on the following financialassets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, andare measured at amortised cost e.g., loans,debt securities, deposits, trade receivables andbank balance
b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and aremeasured as at FVTOCI
c) Lease receivables under lnd AS 17
d) Trade receivables or any contractual right to receivecash or another financial asset that result fromtransactions that are within the scope of lnd AS 115.
e) Loan commitments which are not measured asat FVTPL
f) Financial guarantee contracts which are notmeasured as at FVTPL
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ forrecognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables and
• Other receivables
The application of simplified approach does notrequire the Company to track changes in credit risk.Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance basedon lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from itsinitial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financialassets and risk exposure, the Company determines thatwhether there has been a significant increase in thecredit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has notincreased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to providefor impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequentperiod, credit quality of the instrument improves suchthat there is no longer a significant increase in creditrisk since initial recognition, then the entity revertsto recognising impairment loss allowance based on12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resultingfrom all possible default events over the expected lifeof a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portionof the lifetime ECL which results from default events thatare possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flowsthat are due to the Company in accordance with thecontract and all the cash flows that the entity expects toreceive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the originalEIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is requiredto consider:
• All contractual terms of the financial instrument(including prepayment, extension, call and similaroptions) over the expected life of the financialinstrument. However, in rare cases when the expected
life of the financial instrument cannot be estimatedreliably, then the entity is required to use theremaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held orother credit enhancements that are integral to thecontractual terms.
• Financial assets measured as at amortisedcost, contractual revenue receivables and leasereceivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e.,as an integral part of the measurement of thoseassets in the balance sheet. The allowance reducesthe net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write¬off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairmentallowance from the gross carrying amount.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised costusing the effective interest method includes loansand borrowings, derivatives designated as hedginginstruments in an effective hedge, trade payables andother payables.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on theirclassification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossinclude financial liabilities held for trading and financialliabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fairvalue through profit or loss. Financial liabilities areclassified as held for trading if they are incurred for thepurpose of repurchasing in the near term.
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Company. Afterinitial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowingsare subsequently measured at amortised cost using theEIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profitor loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well asthrough the EIR amortisation process. Amortised costis calculated by taking into account any discount orpremium on acquisition and fees or costs that are anintegral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is includedas finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to borrowings. For moreinformation refer Note 15.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligationunder the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.When an existing financial liability is replaced by anotherfrom the same lender on substantially different terms,or the terms of an existing liability are substantiallymodified, such an exchange or modification is treatedas the derecognition of the original liability and therecognition of a new liability. The difference in therespective carrying amounts is recognised in thestandalone statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the balance sheet ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offsetthe recognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle theliabilities simultaneously.
Contingent consideration is classified as an assetand is measured at fair value on the transaction date.Subsequently, contingent consideration is remeasuredto fair value at each reporting date, with changesincluded in the statement of profit and loss.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprisecash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits withan original maturity of three months or less, which aresubject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cashand cash equivalents consist of cash and short-termdeposits, as defined above as they are considered anintegral part of the Company’s cash management.
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising ofassets and liabilities are classified as ‘held for sale’when all of the following criteria’s are met: (i) decisionhas been made to sell. (ii) the assets are available forimmediate sale in its present condition. (iii) the assets arebeing actively marketed and (iv) sale has been agreedor is expected to be concluded within 12 months ofthe Balance Sheet date. These are measured at thelower of their carrying amount and fair value less coststo sale. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directlyattributable to the disposal of assets (disposal group),excluding finance cost and income tax expenses.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing thenet profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders by the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings pershare, the net profit or loss for the period attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average numberof shares outstanding during the period are adjusted forthe effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Company designates certain hedging instruments,which include derivatives and non-derivatives in respectof foreign currency risk, as cash flow hedges.
To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationshipmust meet all of the following requirements:
• there is an economic relationship between thehedged items and the hedging instruments,
• the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is thesame as that resulting from the quantity of the hedgeditem that the entity actually hedges and the quantityof the hedging instrument that the entity actually usesto hedge that quantity of hedged item.
• the effect of credit risk does not dominate the valuechanges that result from that economic relationship.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entitydocuments the relationship between the hedginginstrument and hedged item, along with its riskmanagement objectives and its strategy for undertakingvarious hedge transactions. Furthermore, at theinception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, theCompany documents whether the hedging instrument ishighly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cashflows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
Cash flow hedges
The Company designates derivative contracts ornon derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedginginstruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interestrates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchangeexposure on highly probable future cash flowsattributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecastcash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedginginstrument, the effective portion of changes in thefair value of the derivative / hedging instruments isrecognized in the cash flow hedging reserve being partof other comprehensive income. The Effective portionof cash flow hedges is adjusted to the lower of thecumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument andthe cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item.
Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of thederivative is recognized immediately in the Statement ofProfit and Loss.
If the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteriafor hedge accounting, then hedge accounting isdiscontinued prospectively.
If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminatedor exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedginginstrument recognised in cash flow hedging reserve tillthe period the hedge was effective remains in cash flowhedging reserve until the underlying transaction occurs.The cumulative gain or loss previously recognizedin the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to theStatement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of theunderlying transaction.
For any other cash flow hedges, the amount accumulatedin OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as reclassificationadjustment in the same period or periods during whichthe hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.
Non-financial assets other than inventories, deferred taxassets and non-current assets classified as held for saleare reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determinewhether there is any indication of impairment. If any suchindication exists, or when annual impairment testingfor an asset is required, the Corporation estimates theasset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amountis the higher of the asset’s or Cash-Generating Unit’s(CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value inuse. Recoverable amount is determined for an individualasset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflowsthat are largely independent of those from other assetsor groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceedsits recoverable amount, the asset is considered impairedand is written down to its recoverable amount.

In performing its operating, investing and financing activities, the Company is exposed to the Credit risk, Liquidity risk andMarket risk.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in marketprices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk excluding hedge risk (refer note 48) andother price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans andborrowings, deposits, FVTOCI investments and derivative financial instruments.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leadingto a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and fromits financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and otherfinancial instruments.
Credit risk from balances with banks, trade receivables, loans and advances and financial institutions is managed by theCompany top management in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approvedcounterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the topmanagement on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Company’s board ofdirectors. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’spotential failure to make payments.
The Company has investments in equity shares / units and non-covertible debentures. The settlement of such instruments islinked to the completion of the respective underlying projects. Such Financial Assets are not impaired as on the reporting date.
Trade receivables
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are high, due to the Company’s customer base being limited.All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis. Based on historical experience of collectingreceivables indicate a low credit risk.
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreignexchange rates. The Company is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on itsfinancial position and cash flows. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily tothe Company’s operating activities (when expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company’s foreign currencyloan i.e. Senior Secured USD Notes (SSN). The amount of SSN outstanding as at March 31,2025 is ' 63,330.24 million (USD :740 million) and March 31,2024 : 45,021.91 million (USD : 540 million) . The Company has hedged 100% of it’s foreign currencyloan to that extent, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD exchange rates, with all othervariables held constant. The impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary liabilities(i.e.unhedged exposures for foreign currency trade payables). With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profitbefore tax is affected through the impact on change of foreign currency rate on Trade payables, as follows:
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as Principal only swap/Coupon only swap / Cross surrency swapto mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates. The counter party for these contracts is generally a bank. Thesederivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputsthat are directly or indirectly observable in the market place. (refer note 48 for details of derivative instruments).
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’slong-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans andborrowings affected, after excluding the credit exposure on fixed rate borrowing. With all other variables held constant, theCompany’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
Note 39 : Capital management
Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and healthycapital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structureand makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions or its business requirements. To maintain or adjustthe capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issuenew shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year ended March 31,2025 and yearended March 31,2024.
The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. Net debt iscalculated as loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
Dividends paid during the year ended March 31,2025 include an amount of '0.10 per equity share towards interim dividendfor the year ended March 31, 2024 and an amount of ' 0.30 per equity share towards interim dividends for the year endedMarch 31, 2025.
Dividends paid during the year ended March 31, 2024 include an amount of ' 0.075 per equity share towards interim dividendfor the year ended March 31, 2023 and an amount of ' 0.20 per equity share towards interim dividends for the year endedMarch 31, 2024.
The Company undertakes Engineering, Procurement and Construction business. The ongoing contracts with customersare for road construction. The type of work in these contracts involve construction, engineering, designing, etc.
The Company evaluates whether each contract consists of a single performance obligation or multiple performanceobligations. Contracts where the Company provides a significant integration service to the customer by combining allthe goods and services are concluded to have a single performance obligations. Contracts with no significant integrationservice, and where the customer can benefit from each unit on its own, are concluded to have multiple performanceobligations. In such cases consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, based on standalone selling prices.Where the Company enters into multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates whether the contractis to be combined or not by evaluating factors such as commercial objective of the contract, consideration negotiatedwith the customer and whether the individual contracts have single performance obligations or not.
The Company recognises contract revenue over time as the performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by thecustomer. For such arrangements revenue is recognised using cost based input methods. Revenue is recognised withrespect to the stage of completion, which is assessed with reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for thework performed at the balance sheet date relative to the estimated total contract costs.
Any costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying performance obligations are excluded from the Company’s inputmethods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of our transferring control of the system to the customer.Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the amount of net contract revenues, including theimpact of any performance incentives, liquidated damages, and other forms of variable consideration.
I f estimated incremental costs on any contract, are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizesthe entire estimated loss in the year the loss becomes known. Variations in contract work, claims, incentive paymentsare included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of beingreliably measured.
While disclosing the aggregate amount of transaction price yet to be recognised as revenue towards unsatisfied (orpartially) satisfied performance obligations, along with the board time band for the expected time to recognise thoserevenue, the Company has applied the practical expedient in Ind AS 115.
Unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations are subject to variability due to several factors such asterminations, changes in scope of contracts, periodic revalidations of the estimates, economic factors (changes in taxlaws etc). The aggregate value of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligationsis '23,711.38 million (March 31, 2024 : '57,331.20 million) is expected to be recognised as revenue in the next one tothree years. No consideration from contracts with customers is excluded from the amount mentioned above.
Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 63 of Ind AS 115, the Company does not adjust the promised amountof consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if at contract inception it is expected that the yearbetween when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that goodor service will be one year or less.
The Company applies practical expedient in paragraph 121 of Ind AS 115 and does not disclose information aboutremaining performance obligations for EPC contracts that have original expected duration of one year or less.
(h) Information about major customers
Revenue from two customers of the Company is ' 20,331.80 million (March 31, 2024 : three customers of '30,158.37million) which is more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.

All borrowing related hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
The Company is not exposed to interest rate risks on fixed rate borrowings as explained in note 37 above.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the hedgecontracts match the terms of hedge items.

To test the hedge effectiveness,the Company compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of thehedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
I n case of foreign currency risk, the main source of hedge ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparty and theCompany’s own credit risk on the fair value of hedge contracts, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged items.The effect of this is not expected to be material.
Hedging instruments
The Company has taken derivatives to hedge its borrowings and Interest accrued thereon
