Measurement of fair value of investment properties:A. Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of investment properties has been determined by registered valuer as defined u/r 2 of Companies (Registered Valuer and Valuation) Rules, 2017.
The fair value measurement of the investment properties has been categorised as Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used.
* At the time of transition to Ind AS effective from 1 April 2016, the Company had opted to measure its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate at deemed cost, i.e. previous GAAP carrying amount, except for its investment in one of the joint venture - Romanovia Industrial Park Private Limited, which has been measured at fair value at the date of transition to Ind AS. If an entity chooses to measure its investment at fair value at the date of transition to Ind AS than that is deemed cost of such investment for the Company and, therefore, it shall carry its investment in at that amount (i.e. fair value at the date of transition) after the date of transition.
B. Terms / rights attached to Equity shares
The company has single class of equity shares having a par value of ?1 per share. Each shareholder is eligible for one vote per share held. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts, in proportion to their shareholding.
Gratuity

Note 34
Employee benefits
A. Defined benefit plans:Gratuity
The Company operates a defined benefit plan (the gratuity plan) covering eligible employees, which provides a Lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employees salary and tenure of employment.The liability in respect of gratuity being defined benefit schemes, payable in future, are determined by actuarial valuation as on balance sheet date.
The sensitivity analyses presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The obligations are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows by using a discount rate that is determined with reference to the market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Government Bonds which is consistent with the estimated terms of the obligation.
The estimate of future salary increase, considered in the actuarial valuation, takes account of inflation, security, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
B. Other long term employee benefits Compensated absences
The accrual for unutilised leave is determined for the entire available leave balance standing to the credit of the employees at the year end. The value of such leave balances that are eligible for carry forward is determined by an acturial valuation as at the end of the year and acturial gains and losses are charged to the statement of profit and loss. Amount of ? 2.98 lakhs (31 March 2024: ? 2.82 lakhs) towards leave benefits is recognised as (credit)/expense to salaries,wages and bonus under "Employee benefits expenses" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
C. Defined contributionContribution to provident fund and employee state insurance contribution
Amount of ? 4.53 lakhs (31 March 2024: ? 3.69 lakhs) paid towards contribution to provident funds and Employee state insurance contribution is recognised as an expense and included in "Salaries, wages and bonus" under "Employee benefits expense" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Note 35
Operating segment
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available.

(b) The Income-Tax Department had carried out a search operation at the Company's various business premises and residential premises of promoters and certain key employees of the company, under Section 132 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 on September 08, 2021. The Company had made the necessary disclosures to the stock exchanges in this regard on September 12, 2021, in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 (as amended). As of the date of issuing these financial statements, the Company has received notices under Section 148 and / or Section 142(1)/143(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for the assessment years 2014-15, 2016-17 to 2022-23, to which the Company has responded. Till the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company received orders for assessment years 2014-15, 2016-17 to 2022-23 and the Company has filed the necessary response and / or appeal. Management believes that these developments are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2025, and its performance for the year ended on that date, as presented in these standalone financial statements. However, due to the nature and complexity of the matter, the final outcome remains uncertain, making it currently impossible for the management to determine the potential impact, if any, on the financial statements related to this issue. The statutory auditors have issued an Emphasis of Matter in their audit report on the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025, highlighting this matter.

(iii) Corporate guarantees
The Group has not provided any corporate guarantees or any security as at 31 March 2025 as well as 31 March 2024 for loans or any other financial aid obtained by any person.
Note 37 Leasesa) As a lessor
The Company’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for commercial premises. Lease income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of lease. The aggregate lease rental income including maintenance of ? 131.98 Lakhs (31 March 2024: ? 122.61) lakhs is accounted in the statement of profit and loss. (refer note 24).
b) As a lessee
The Company has taken office premises on Lease. The terms of Lease incLudes terms of renewaLs, increase in rent in future periods, terms of canceLLation, etc. The agreement is executed for a period of 3 years with a renewable clause and also provide for termination at will by either party giving a prior notice of 3 months at any time during the lease term and hence considered the same to be of short term lease in nature under Ind AS 116. Accordingly, no further disclosures are applicable.
Lease rental (incL. maintenance charges) expense debited to statement of profit and Loss is ? 10.46 Lakhs (31 March 2024: ? 8.67 Lakhs).
(b) Contract balances
The contract assets, land and transferable development rights receivable represents amount due from customers which primariLy reLate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work executed but not biLLed at the reporting date. The contract assets or Land and transferable development rights are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. i.e. when invoice is raised on achivement of contractual milestones. This usually occurs when the Company issues an invoice to the customer. The contract liabilities primarily represent advances received from customers for which invoices are yet to be raised on customers pending achivement of milestone.
Contract Liabilities include amount received for sales of transferable development rights for PPP projects in which BU certificate is yet to be received.
(c) Movement of Expected Credit Loss during the year
For the year ended 31 Mar 2025, ? 10.77 Lakhs [31 Mar 2024, ? (156.07) Lakhs] was recognised as / (reversed from) provision for expected credit Losses on Trade Receivables.
(c) Performance obligation
The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised goods or service to a customer. The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of asset (goods or service) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation
For contracts where the aggregate of contract cost incurred to date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised Losses as the case may be) exceeds the progress billing, the surplus is shown as contract asset and termed as “Due from customers”. For contracts where progress billing exceeds the aggregate of contract costs incurred to-date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses, as the case may be), the surplus is shown as contract liability and termed as “Due to customers”. Amounts or Contract Assets received before the related work is performed are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as contract liability and termed as “Advances from customer”. The amounts billed on customer for work performed and are unconditionally due for payment i.e. only passage of time is required before payment falls due, are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as trade receivables. The amount of retention money held by the customers pending completion of performance milestone is disclosed as part of contract asset and is reclassified as trade receivables when it becomes due for payment.
The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as at 31 March 2025 is ? 1,35,284 and as at 31 March 2024 is ? 1,37,580 Lakhs. The revenue recognition mainly depends on meeting the delivery schedules, contractual terms and conditions with customers, availability of customer sites, changes in scope, variation in prices etc. In view of these, it is not practical to define the accurate percentage of conversion to revenue on yearly basis. However, a tentative bifurcation of remaining performance obligation is as follows :
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Table below shows the forward order book for the Company at the reporting date with the time bands of when the Company expects to recognise secured revenue on its contracts with customers. Secured revenue corresponds to fixed work contracted with customers and excludes the impact of any anticipated contract extensions or modifications, and new contracts with customers.
* Fair value of financial assets and Liabilities measured at amortised cost is not materially different from the amortised cost. Further, impact of time value of money is not significant for the financial instruments classified as current. Accordingly, the fair value has not been disclosed separately.
Note 1: Investments in associate, joint ventures and subsidiary have been accounted at historical cost. Since
these are scoped out of Ind AS 109 for the purposes of measurement, the same have not been disclosed in the tables above. Investments in debt based mutual fund are measured at FVTPL in accordance with Ind AS 109.
Note 2: At the time of transition to Ind AS effective from 1 April 2016, the Group had opted to measure its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate at deemed cost, i.e. previous GAAP carrying amount, except for its investment in one of the joint venture - Romanovia Industrial Park Private Limited, which has been measured at fair value at the date of transition to Ind AS. If an entity chooses to measure its investment at fair value at the date of transition to Ind AS than that is deemed cost of such investment for the Group and, therefore, it shall carry its investment in at that amount (i.e. fair value at the date of transition) after the date of transition.
Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and lowest priorityto unobservable inputs (Level III measurments).
The categories used are as follows:-
Input Level I (Directly Observable) : which includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets such as quoted price for an equity security on Security Exchanges.
Input Level II (Indirectly Observable) : which includes prices in active markets for similar assets such as quoted price for similar assets in active markets, valuation multiple derived from prices in observed transactions involving similar businesses, etc.
Input Level III (Unobservable): which includes management's own assumptions for arriving at a fair value such as projected cash flows used to value a business, etc.
B. Measurement of fair valuesi) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The fair value of the investment in quoted investment in equity shares is based on the current bid price of investment at balance sheet date
ii) Transfers between Levels I and II
There has been no transfer in between Level I and Level II
iii) Level III fair values
There are no items in Level III fair values.
C. Financial risk management
The Company has a well-defined risk management framework. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
Ý Credit risk ;
Ý Liquidity risk ; and
Ý Market risk
Risk management framework
The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The board of directors evaluate and exercise independent control over the entire process of risk management. The board also recommends risk management objectives and policies.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily trade receivables and other financial assets including deposits with banks. The Company's exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.
Trade receivables and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The Company considers the probability of default and whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of default occurring on financial assets as on the reporting date.
Impairment
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances existing on that date to identify expected losses on account of time value of money and credit risk. The calculation is based on defined percentage based on past experiences in the business ascertained by the management. Receivables from group companies and receivables against sale of contract assets (i.e., TDR and LDR) are generally excluded for the purposes of this analysis since no credit risk is perceived on them.
Cash and bank balances
The Company is also exposed to credit risks arising on cash and cash equivalents and term deposits with banks. The Company believes that its credit risk in respect to cash and cash equivalents and term deposits is insignificant as funds are invested in term deposits at pre-determined interest rates for specified period of time. For cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances, only high rated banks are accepted.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets includes loan to employees and related parties, security deposits, etc. Credit risk arising from these financial assets is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are group companies, banks. Banks have high credit ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies.
(ii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are proposed to be settled by delivering cash or other financial asset. The Company’s financial planning has ensured, as far as possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet the Liabilities whenever due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. In addition to the Company's own liquidity, it enjoys credit facilities with the reputed bank and financial institutions.
Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company’s liquidity management policy involves periodic reviews of cash flow projections and considering the level of liquid assets necessary, monitoring balance sheet, liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Company’s income. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and debt. The company does not have any transactions in foreign currency. And accordingly, company does not have currency risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's liquidity and borrowing are managed by professional at senior management level. The interest rate exposure of the Company is reduced by matching the duration of investments and borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest - bearing financial instrument as reported to management is as follows:
Interest rate sensitivity
Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest expense from borrowings as a result of change in interest rates. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of floating rate financial instruments to a reasonably possible change in interest rates. The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 100 basis points interest rate across all yield curves. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Note 40
Capital management
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher Levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ‘Debt’ to ‘Equity’. For this purpose, ‘Debt’ is meant to include long-term borrowings, short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term borrowings. ‘Equity’ comprises all components of equity. The Company’s debt to equity ratio as at the end of the reporting periods are as follows:
