2.12 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions
A provision is recognized in the statement of profit and Loss if, as a result of a past event, theCompany has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and itis probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Ifthe effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discountingthe expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments ofthe time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or apresent obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Wherethere is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood ofoutflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assetsare assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits willarise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss whenthe expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than theunavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measuredat the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and theexpected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, theCompany recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Reimbursement rights
Expected reimbursements for expenditures required to settle a provision are recognisedin the statement of profit and loss only when receipt of such reimbursements is virtuallycertain. Such reimbursements are recognised as a separate asset in the balance sheet, witha corresponding credit to the specific expense for which the provision has been made.
2.13 Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when a performance obligation issatisfied by transfer of promised goods or services to a customer.
For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done bymeasuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. Theprogress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the totalestimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.
The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and therefore satisfies aperformance obligation and recognizes revenue over a period of time if one of the followingcriteria is met:
a) The customer simultaneously consumes the benefit of the Company's performance or
b) The customer controls the asset as it is being created / enhanced by the Company'sperformance or
c) There is no alternative use of the asset and the Company has either explicit or implicitright of payment considering legal precedents,
In all other cases, performance obligation is considered as satisfied at a point in time.
The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performanceobligation satisfied. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Companyexpects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer excludingamounts collected on behalf of a third party.
The Company includes variable consideration as part of transaction price when there isa basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it isprobable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when theuncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Variable consideration isestimated using the expected value method or most likely amount as appropriate in a given
circumstance. Payment terms agreed with a customer are as per business practice and thefinancing component, if significant, is separated from the transaction price and accountedas interest income.
Costs to obtain a contract which are incurred regardless of whether the contract wasobtained are charged-off in profit or loss immediately in the period in which such costsare incurred. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, and costs incurred to fulfila contract are amortised over the period of execution of the contract in proportion to theprogress measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the totalestimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.
Revenue from construction / project related activity is recognised as follows:
Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognised over time to the extent of performanceobligation satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. Contract revenue is recognisedat allocable transaction price which represents the cost of work performed on the contractplus proportionate margin, using the percentage of completion method. Percentage ofcompletion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the total estimatedcontract costs.
Impairment loss (termed as provision for foreseeable losses in the financial statements)is recognised in profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the contract assetexceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receivetowards remaining performance obligations (after deducting the costs that relate directlyto fulfil such remaining performance obligations). The Company recognizes impairment loss(termed as provision for expected credit loss on contract assets in the financial statements)on account of credit risk in respect of a contract asset using expected credit loss model onsimilar basis as applicable to trade receivables.
2.14 Interest Income
Interest Income mainly comprises of interest on Margin money deposit with banks relatingto bank guarantee and term deposits.
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method (EIR).
Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, based on rates implicit in thetransactions.
2.15 Tax Expenses
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except tothe extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equityor in Other comprehensive income.
The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, includinguncertain tax treatments, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and thereforeaccounted for them under Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and ContingentAssets.
Current tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to berecovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reportingdate. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit andloss is recognised outside the statement of profit and loss (either in OCI or in equity incorrelation to the underlying transaction). Management periodically evaluates positionstaken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations aresubject to interpretation and establishes provisions, where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences betweenthe tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reportingpurposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for all taxable temporary differences anddeductible temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit willbe available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward ofunused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reducedto the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available toallow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognisedto the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferredtax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to applyin the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and taxlaws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss isrecognised outside the statement of profit and loss (either in OCI or in equity in correlationto the underlying transaction).
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right existsto set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to thesame taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Goods and Service Tax (GST) paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses
When the tax incurred on purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxationauthority, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or aspart of the expense item, as applicable. Otherwise, expenses and assets are recognizednet of the amount of taxes paid. The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, thetaxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
2.16 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the yearattributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributabletaxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted forevents such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse sharesplit (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding,without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit (considered in determinationof basic earnings per share) after considering the effect of interest and other financing costsor income (net of attributable taxes) associated with dilutive potential equity shares by theweighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per shareadjusted for the weighted average number of equity shares that would have been issuedupon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.17 Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured atamortised cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment, if any.
2.18 Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company priorto the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and arepresented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within twelve months after thereporting period. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured atamortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.19 Segment Reporting
The Company is engaged in the "laying of gas pipe lines and development of alliedinfrastructure" and the same constitutes a single reportable business segment as per Ind AS108. Accordingly, disclosure of segment information as prescribed in the Indian accountingstandard 108 "Operating segments" is not applicable.
2.20 Share Capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of equity shares are recognised as adeduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction isaccounted for in accordance with Ind AS 12.
2.21 Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumption
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires managementto make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accountingpolicies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Theseestimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and variousother factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions toaccounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revisedand in any future periods affected. In particular, the areas involving critical estimates orJudgment are:
Property, plant and equipment
The depreciation on property, plant and equipment is derived on determining an estimateof an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life.The useful lives of Company's assets are determined in accordance with Schedule-II ofCompanies Act, 2013. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets aswell as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life.
The residual values of Company's assets are determined by management at the time ofacquisition of asset and is reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
Impairment of financial and non-financial assets
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amounts of impairmentloss on the financial and nonfinancial assets. The calculations of impairment loss aresensitive to underlying assumptions.
Tax provisions and contingencies
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amounts of tax provisionsand contingencies. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and MAT creditentitlements to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against whichthese losses and credit entitlements can be utilized. Significant management judgement isrequired to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based uponthe likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planningstrategies.
Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and the present value of the obligation are determinedusing actuarial valuation. An actuarial valuation involves various assumptions that maydiffer from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of thediscount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involvedin the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive tochanges in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriatediscount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates ofgovernment bonds where remaining maturity of such bond correspond to expected term ofdefined benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tablestend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increasesand gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balancesheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value ismeasured using internal valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken fromobservable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgementis required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such asliquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors couldaffect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
2.22 Determination of Fair Values
The Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value,for certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determinedfor measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Whenapplicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair valuesis disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. A fair value measurement of anon-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economicbenefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another marketparticipant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
(i) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, if acquired in a business combination or through anexchange of non-monetary assets, is measured at fair value on the acquisition date.For this purpose, fair value is based on appraised market values and replacement cost.
(ii) Intangible assets
The fair value of brands, technology related intangibles, and patents and trademarksacquired in a business combination is based on the discounted estimated royaltypayments that have been avoided as a result of these brands, technology relatedintangibles, patents or trademarks being owned (the "relief of royalty method"). Thefair value of customer related, product related and other intangibles acquired in abusiness combination has been determined using the multi-period excess earningsmethod after deduction of a fair return on other assets that are part of creating therelated cash flows.
(iii) Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined basedon its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimatedcosts of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effortrequired to complete and sell the inventories.
(iv) Investments in equity and debt securities and units of mutual funds
The fair value of marketable equity and debt securities is determined by referenceto their quoted market price at the reporting date. For debt securities where quotedmarket prices are not available, fair value is determined using pricing techniques suchas discounted cash flow analysis. In respect of investments in mutual funds, the fairvalues represent net asset value as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund unitsin the published statements. Net asset values represent the price at which the issuerwill issue further units in the mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeemsuch units from the investors. Accordingly, such net asset values are analogous tofair market value with respect to these investments, as transactions of these mutualfunds are carried out at such prices between investors and the issuers of these units ofmutual funds.
2.23 New Standards Adopted by the Company
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies ratherthan their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together withother information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions ofprimary users of general purpose financial statements. The company does not expect thisamendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions suchas leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of therecognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) sothat it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxableand deductible temporary differences. The company does not expect this amendment tohave any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies andaccounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has beenreplaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accountingestimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurementuncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items infinancial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. Thecompany does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalonefinancial statements.
2.24 New Accounting Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existingstandards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time totime. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has not notified any new standards oramendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
AH assets and Liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Ind AS financial statements arecategorised within the fair value hierarchy, as below, based on the lowest level input that is significant to thefair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurementis directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurementis unobservable.
Financial instruments by category
The carrying value and fair value of financial instruments as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively wereas follows:
There has been no transfers between levels during the year. The fair values of derivatives are based onderived mark-to-market values. The management has assessed that the carrying values of financial assets andfinancial liabilities for which fair values are disclosed, reasonably approximate their fair values because theseinstruments have short-term maturities.
