A. Provisions
A provision is recognised if
• the Company has present legal orconstructive obligation as a result of anevent in the past;
• it is probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle theobligation; and
• the amount of the obligation has beenreliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at themanagement’s best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle theobligation at the end of the reportingperiod. If the effect of the time valueof money is material, provisions arediscounted to reflect its present value usinga current pre-tax discount rate that reflectsthe current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to theobligation. When discounting is used, theincrease in the provision due to the passageof time is recognised as a finance cost.
Onerous Contract
If the Company has a contract that isonerous, the present obligation under thecontract is recognised and measured asa provision. However, before a separateprovision for an onerous contract isestablished, the Company recognisesany impairment loss that has occurredon assets dedicated to that contract. Anonerous contract is a contract under whichthe unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs thatthe Company cannot avoid because it hasthe contract) of meeting the obligationsunder the contract exceed the economicbenefits expected to be received under it.The unavoidable costs under a contractreflect the least net cost of exiting from
the contract, which is the lower of the costof fulfilling it and any compensation orpenalties arising from failure to fulfil it. Thecost of fulfilling a contract comprises thecosts that relate directly to the contract (i.e.,both incremental costs and an allocation ofcosts directly related to contract activities).
Defect Liability Provision
The Defect Liability Period (DLP) is acontractual provision that defines theperiod after construction completionduring which the Company is responsiblefor rectifying any defects at no extra costto the client. The DLP is a contractualobligation towards failure to rectify defectswithin the specified period.
This period can range from a few months toseveral years, depending on the project andcontract terms.
Company creates provisions to coverpotential costs associated with rectifyingdefects during the DLP. This provision isbased on estimation as mentioned undercritical estimates.
B. Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed whenthere is a possible obligation arising frompast events, the existence of which will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non¬occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents not wholly within the control of theCompany or a present obligation that arisesfrom past events where it is either notprobable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation or a reliableestimate of the amount cannot be made.
C. Contingent assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset thatarises from past events and whose existencewill be confirmed only by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the controlof the entity. A contingent asset is notrecognised but disclosed where an inflowof economic benefit is probable.
A. Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, includingnon-monetary benefits that are expectedto be settled wholly within 12 monthsafter the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service arerecognised in the same period in which theemployees renders the related service andare measured at the amounts expected tobe paid when the liabilities are settled.
Retirement benefit in the form of providentfund is a defined contribution plan. TheCompany has no obligation , other thanthe contribution payable to the providentfund. The Company recognises contributionpayable to the provident fund scheme asan expense, when an employee rendersthe related services. If the Contributionpayable to the scheme for service receivedbefore the balance sheet date exceedsthe contribution already paid, the deficitpayable to the scheme is recognised as aliability after deducting the contributionalready paid. If the contribution already paidexceeds the contribution due for servicesreceived before the balance sheet date, thenexcess is recognised as an asset to the extentthat the prepayment will lead to a reductionin future payment or a cash refund.
B. Other long-term employee benefitobligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leaveare not expected to be settled wholly within12 months after the end of the period inwhich the employees render the relatedservice. They are therefore measuredas the present value of expected futurepayments to be made in respect of servicesprovided by employees up to the end ofthe reporting period using the projectedunit credit method. The benefits arediscounted using the market yields at theend of the reporting period that have termsapproximating to the terms of the relatedobligation. Remeasurements as a result ofexperience adjustments and changes inactuarial assumptions are recognised in thestatement of profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as currentliabilities in the balance sheet if the entitydoes not have an unconditional right to defersettlement for at least twelve months afterthe reporting period, regardless of when theactual settlement is expected to occur.
C. Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post¬employment schemes
(a) defined benefit plans - Gratuity
(b) defined contribution plans - Providentfund, superannuation and pension
Defined benefit plans:
The liability or asset recognised in the balancesheet in respect of defined benefit plansis the present value of the defined benefitobligation at the end of the reporting periodless the fair value of plan assets excludingnon-qualifying asset (reimbursement right).The defined benefit obligation is calculatedannually by actuaries using the projectedunit credit method. The present value of thedefined benefit obligation is determinedby discounting the estimated future cashoutflows by reference to market yields at theend of the reporting period on governmentbonds that have terms approximating tothe terms of the related obligation. Thenet interest cost is calculated by applyingthe discount rate to the net balance of thedefined benefit obligation and the fairvalue of plan assets. This cost is included inemployee benefit expense in the statementof profit and loss. Remeasurement gains andlosses arising from experience adjustmentsand changes in actuarial assumptions arerecognised in the period in which they occur,directly in other comprehensive income.They are included in retained earnings in thestatement of changes in equity and in thebalance sheet.
Insurance policy held by the Company frominsurers who are related parties are notqualifying insurance policies and hence theright to reimbursement is recognised asa separate asset under other non-currentand/or current assets as the case may be.
Changes in the present value of thedefined benefit obligation resulting fromplan amendments or curtailments arerecognised immediately in profit or loss aspast service cost.
Defined contribution plans:
In case of all employees, the Company paysprovident fund contributions to publiclyadministered provident funds as per localregulations. The Company has no furtherpayment obligations once the contributionshave been paid. Such contributions areaccounted for as employee benefit expensewhen they are due. Defined contributionto superannuation fund is being madeas per the scheme of the Company.
Defined contribution to Employees PensionScheme 1995 is made to GovernmentProvident Fund Authority whereas thecontributions for National Pension Schemeis made to Stock Holding Corporation ofIndia Limited.
D. Share based payment
The Company operates an equity settled,employee share based compensation plan,under which the Company receives servicesfrom employees as consideration for equityshares of the Company. Equity settled sharebased payment to employees and otherproviding similar services are measured at fairvalue of the equity instrument at grant date.
The fair value of the employee servicesreceived in exchange for the grant of theoptions is determined by reference to thefair value of the options as at the Grant Dateand is recognised as an ‘employee benefitsexpense’ with a corresponding increase inequity. The total expense is recognised overthe vesting period which is the period overwhich the applicable vesting condition is tobe satisfied.
At the end of each year, the entity revisesits estimates of the number of options thatare expected to vest based on the servicevesting conditions. It recognises the impactof the revision to original estimates, if any,in profit or loss, with a correspondingadjustment to equity.
If at any point of time after the vesting of theshare options, the right to the same expires(either by virtue of lapse of the exercise periodor the employee leaving the Company), thefair value of the options accruing in favour ofthe said employee are transferred back to theretained earnings in the reporting period inwhich the right expires.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options isreflected as additional share dilution in thecomputation of diluted earnings per share.
Operating segments are reported in a mannerconsistent with the internal reporting providedto the chief operating decision maker.
The Board of directors of the Company hasbeen identified as the Chief Operating DecisionMaker which reviews and assesses the financialperformance and makes the strategic decisions.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividingthe net profit or loss for the period attributableto equity shareholders by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during theperiod. Earnings considered in ascertaining theCompany’s earnings per share is the net profitfor the period. The weighted average numberequity shares outstanding during the periodand all periods presented is adjusted for events,such as bonus shares, other than the conversionof potential equity shares that have changedthe number of equity shares outstanding,without a corresponding change in resources.For the purpose of calculating diluted earningsper share, the net profit of loss for the periodattributable to equity shareholders and theweighted average number of share outstandingduring the period is adjusted for the effects of alldilutive potential equity shares.
Exceptional items include income/expensesthat are considered to be part of ordinaryactivities, however of such significance andnature that separate disclosure enables theusers of standalone financial statements tounderstand the impact in more meaningfulmanner. Exceptional Items are identified byvirtue of their size, nature and incidence.
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financialstatements and notes have been rounded offto the nearest lakhs as per the requirement ofSchedule III, unless otherwise stated.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified theInd AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notificationdated 12 August 2024, under the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024,which is effective from annual reporting periodsbeginning on or after 1 April 2024.
a. Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is acomprehensive new accounting standard forinsurance contracts covering recognition andmeasurement, presentation and disclosure. IndAS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance Contracts.Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurancecontracts, regardless of the type of entities thatissue them as well as to certain guaranteesand financial instruments with discretionaryparticipation features; a few scope exceptions
will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a general model,supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts withdirect participation features (the variablefee approach)
• A simplified approach (the premiumallocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The amendments had no impact on theCompany’s standalone financial statements.
b. Amendments to Ind AS 116 Leases - LeaseLiability in a Sale and Leaseback
The MCA notified the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Second AmendmentRules, 2024, which amend Ind AS 116, Leases,with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale andLeaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirementsthat a seller-lessee uses in measuring thelease liability arising in a sale and leasebacktransaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does notrecognise any amount of the gain or loss thatrelates to the right of use it retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reportingperiods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 andmust be applied retrospectively to sale andleaseback transactions entered into after thedate of initial application of Ind AS 116.
There are no new standards which are issued but notyet effective as on March 31, 2025.
The preparation of standalone financial statementsrequires the use of accounting estimates which, bydefinition, will seldom equal the actual results. Themanagement also needs to exercise judgment inapplying the Company’s accounting policies. Thisnote provides an overview of the areas that involveda higher degree of judgment or complexity, and ofitems which are more likely to be materially adjusteddue to estimates and assumptions turning out tobe different than those originally assessed. Detailedinformation about each of these estimates andjudgments is included below.
DLP (Defect Liability Period) is a specified periodafter the completion of a construction projectduring which the contractor is responsible forrectifying any defects or faults that may arise.Although DLP is project specific, it is generallyvarying from 12 months to 24 months dependingon the contractual condition. During the DLP,the contractor carries out repairs and fix anydefects from his own cost which appear in theworkmanship, so that, at the end of the DLP, allworks are as per specifications of the contract.
Once project is handed over to the customerand all revenue of the project is recognised, theCompany starts accounting of DLP expenses. Atthe time of closing the projects, the Companymakes provision against DLP expenses which isproject specific. Considering the complexity ofthe project, project manager recommends theDLP amount after discussion and approval of BUhead.
Every quarter end expenses incurred areadjusted against this DLP expenses provision.Once provision is exhausted, all expenses if anywill be directly booked in the project.
The impairment provisions for trade receivablesare based on assumptions about risk of defaultand expected loss rates. The Company usesjudgement in making these assumptionsand selecting the inputs to the impairmentcalculation, based on Company’s past history,credit risk, existing market conditions as wellas forward looking estimates at the end ofeach reporting period. Further, in case ofoperationally closed projects, Company makesspecific assessment of the overdue balancesby considering the customer’s historicalpayment patterns, latest correspondences withthe customers for recovery of the amountsoutstanding and credit status of the significantcounterparties where available. Accordingly, abest judgment estimate is made to record theimpairment allowance in respect of operationallyclosed projects.
Revenue from construction contracts isrecognised based on the stage of completiondetermined with reference to the actual costsincurred up to reporting date on the constructioncontract and the estimated cost to complete theproject. The percentage-of-completion methodplaces considerable importance on accurate
estimates to the extent of progress towardscompletion and involve estimates on the scopeof deliveries and services required for fulfillingthe contractually defined obligations. Thesesignificant estimates include total contractcosts, total contract revenues, contract risks,including technical, political and regulatoryrisks, and other judgments. The Company re¬assesses these estimates on periodic basis andmakes appropriate revisions accordingly.
When the fair values of financial assets andfinancial liabilities recorded in the balance sheetcannot be measured based on quoted prices inactive markets, their fair value is measured usingappropriate valuation techniques. The inputsfor these valuations are taken from observablesources where possible, but where this is notfeasible, a degree of judgement is required inestablishing fair values. Judgements includeconsiderations of various inputs includingliquidity risk, credit risk, volatility etc. Changesin assumptions/judgements about these factorscould affect the reported fair value of financialinstruments. Refer Note 36 of standalonefinancial statements for the fair value disclosuresand related sensitivity.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity planand other post-employment leave benefitsare determined using actuarial valuations. Anactuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These includethe determination of the discount rate, futuresalary increases and mortality rates. Due tothe complexities involved in the valuationand its long-term nature, a defined benefitobligation is highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions.
All assumptions are reviewed at each reportingdate. The mortality rate is based on publiclyavailable mortality tables. Those mortality tablestend to change only at interval in response todemographic changes. Future salary increasesare based on expected future inflation rates.Refer note 16 and note 35(a, b)
Estimates are required to determine theappropriate discount rate used to measurelease liabilities. The Company cannot readilydetermine the interest rate implicit in the lease,
therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate(IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is therate of interest that the Company would haveto pay to borrow over a similar term, and witha similar security, the funds necessary to obtainan asset of a similar value to the right-of-useasset in a similar economic environment. TheIBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘wouldhave to pay’, which requires estimation whenno observable rates are available or when theyneed to be adjusted to reflect the terms andconditions of the lease. The Company estimatesthe IBR using observable inputs (such as marketinterest rates, bank rates to the Company fora loan of a similar tenure, etc). The Companyhas applied a single discount rate to a portfolioof leases of similar assets in similar economicenvironment with a similar end date
Estimating fair value for share-based paymenttransactions requires determination of themost appropriate valuation model, which isdependent on the terms and conditions of thegrant. This estimate also requires determinationof the most appropriate inputs to the valuationmodel including the expected life of the shareoption, volatility and dividend yield and makingassumptions about them.
In the normal course of business, contingentliabilities may arise from litigation and otherclaims against the Company. Potential liabilitiesthat are possible but not probable of crystalisingor are very difficult to quantify reliably aretreated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilitiesare disclosed in the notes but are not recognised.The cases which have been determined asremote by the Company are not disclosed.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nordisclosed in the financial statements unlesswhen an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Management reviews the useful lives of property,plant and equipment at least once a year. Suchlives are dependent upon an assessment of boththe technical lives of the assets and also theirlikely economic lives based on various internaland external factors including relative efficiencyand operating costs. This reassessmentmay result in change in depreciation andamortisation expected in future periods.
Nature and Purpose of ReservesRetained Earnings
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve,dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings includes re-measurement loss / (gain) ondefined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss. Retained earnings isa free reserve available to the Company.
Capital Reserve
Reserve is primarily created on business combination as per statutory requirement. This reserve is utilised inaccordance with the specific provisions of the Companies Act 2013.
Securities Premium
Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with theprovisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Effective Portion of Cashflow Hedges
The Company uses hedging instrument to manage its commodity price risk with respect to forecast purchaseof aluminium . To the extent these hedges are effective, the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument isrecognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. Amounts recognised in the effective portion of cash flowhedges is reclassified to the Statement of profit & loss when the hedged item affects the Profit and Loss.
Acceptances pertain to amount payable towards arrangements wherein banks and financial institutions make directpayments to suppliers for raw materials and traded goods. The banks and financial institutions are subsequently repaidby the Company at the due date. Interest in such cases is borne by the Company.
Bill Discounting pertains to amounts payable towards vendor financing entered into with the suppliers. Under thisarrangement, the supplier is eligible to receive payment prior to the expiry of extended credit period by assigning suchinvoices to a third-party purchaser bank based on security in the form of an undertaking issued by the Company to thebank. Further, the third party purchaser bank charges interest to the Company for the extended credit period.
These arrangements are normally settled within 120 days from the date of draw down. The economic substance of thesetransactions is determined to be operating in nature and these are recognised as trade credits and disclosed on the faceof the balance sheet. Payments made by banks and financial institutions to the operating vendors are treated as a non¬cash item and settlement of trade credits by the Company is treated as cash flows from operating activity reflecting thesubstance of the payment. The interest borne by the Company has been presented under Finance Cost.
Pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement between Bajaj Electricals Limited (“Demerged Company”) and Bajel ProjectsLimited (“Resulting Company”) and their respective shareholders ("Scheme") as approved by National Company LawTribunal’s (NCLT) Order dated order June 8, 2023, stamp duty needs to be paid on demerger as per Maharashtra StampAct, 1958 as amended by Maharashtra Stamp (Amendement and Validation) Act, 2017. Further, pursuant to schemeof demerger, transfer fees is payable on transfer of leasehold land from Demerged Company to Resulting Company.Accordingly, provision of H768.04 lakhs was recorded in previous year towards the stamp duty and transfer fees. Thesame was disclosed in exceptional items.
A. Gratuity :
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (Funded) for its employees, which requires contributionto be made to a separately administered fund.
The gratuity benefit payable to the employees of the Company is greater of the two : (i) The provisions of thePayment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or (ii) The Company’s gratuity scheme as described below.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of trade payables, trade credits, borrowings, lease liabilities andother financial liabilities. The Company's principal financial assets include trade receivables, investments, cash and cashequivalents, other bank balances and other financial assets that are derived directly from the operations. The Company'srisk management is carried out by the management under the policies approved of the Board of Directors that help inidentfication, measurement, mitigation and reporting all risk associated with the activities of the Company. The Boardof Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summaried below:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractualobligations. Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well asconcentration risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities mainly in relation to tradeand other receivables and bank deposits.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and credit risk is managed through creditapprovals and periodical monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants creditterms.
The Company undertake projects for government institutions (including local bodies) and private institutionalcustomers. The credit concentration is more towards government institutions. These projects are normally oflong term duration of two to three years. Such projects normally are regular tender business with the terms andconditions agreed as per the tender. These projects are generally fully funded by the government of India throughRural Electrification Corporation, Power Finance Corporation, and Asian Development Bank etc. The Companyenters into such projects after careful consideration of strategy, terms of payment, past experience etc.
In case of private institutional customers, before tendering for the projects Company evaluate the creditworthiness,general feedback about the customer in the market, past experience, if any with customer, and accordinglynegotiates the terms and conditions with the customer.
The Company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. Indetermining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgementsas to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows fromsuch trade and other receivables. In respect of trade receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that iscommensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based on past experience, customer creditability,and also on the nature and specifics of business especially in the engineering and projects division. In case ofengineering projects, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis, since they are large projects inindividuality.
Bank deposits
The Company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions andreviews it on an on-going basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions ofreputation, good past track record and high-quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. Themaximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is the carrying value of such cash and cashequivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 5, 10 and 11 of the financials.
The Company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in thesystem to fund business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities. Thedepartment obtains business plans from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidatedand borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms of long term funds and short-term funds. Considering thepeculiar nature of EPC business, which is very working capital intensive, treasury maintains flexibility in fundingby maintaining availability under committed credit lines in the form of fund based and non-fund based (Letter ofCredit and Bank Guarantee) limits.
The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatchesin cash flows are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is propermovement of funds between the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractualundiscounted payments:
Market risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due tochanges in market prices. It comprises three main components: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price riskssuch as commodity price risk.
The Company aims to minimise the impact of currency and commodity price risks through the use of derivativefinancial instruments. These instruments are used in accordance with the Company’s Risk Management Policies,which are approved by the Board of Directors. These policies provide written guidelines for the use of financialderivatives to hedge currency and commodity risks. The Company does not engage in derivative trading forspeculative purposes.
The Company is primarily exposed to financial risks arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates andcommodity prices. To manage these exposures, the Company enters into various derivative financial instruments,including:
- foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising from USD-linked purchase contracts
- Commodity Over the Counter (OTC) derivative contracts to hedge the price risk for base metal such asAluminium.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company’s functional currency is Indian Rupees (INR). The Company operates in the global market and istherefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respectto the US Dollar ('USD'), Kenyan Shillings (‘KES’), Zambian Kwacha (‘ZMW’) and West African CFA Franc (‘XOF’).Volatility in exchange rates also affects the cost of raw materials, primarily in relation to USD linked purchasecontracts.
(a) Foreign currency risk exposure:
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR, areas follows :
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecauseof changes in market interest rates. In case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in alarge number of cases. Hence, interest rate risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure tochange in interest rate is insignificant.
(iii) Commodity Price risk
The Company undertakes turnkey EPC projects, which involve procuring equipment and materials often linkedto commodity prices such as steel, copper, aluminium, and zinc. This exposes the Company to commodityprice risk.
To mitigate these risks, the Company employs several strategies:
- Contractual arrangements such as variable price purchase orders, where hedging may be performed byvendors;
- Direct hedging of base metal exposure (e.g., aluminium) using OTC derivative contracts linked to LondonMetal Exchange (LME) prices.
Hedging commodity is based on procurement schedule and price risk. Commodity is undertaken as a risk offsettingexercise and depending upon market conditions, hedges may extend beyond the financial year.
The Company has a well defined hedging policy approved by Board of Directors of the Company, which partiallytakes care of the commodity price fluctuations and minimizes the risk.
The Board policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to mainain investor, creditor and market confidence andto sustain future development of the business. The Board of directors monitors the return on capital employed. TheCompany manages capial risk by maintaining sound / optimal capital stucture through monitoring of financial ratios ona monthly basis and implements capital structure improvement plan when necessary. The Company uses debt ratio asa capital management index and calculates the ratio as Net debt divided by total equity. Net debt and total equity arebased on the amounts stated in the financial statements.
Debt ratio is 0.21 of the Company as on the balance sheet date.
The Company will be primarily engaged in the business of power transmission and power distribution, which in termsof Ind AS 108 is a 'Operating Segments', constitutes a single reporting sement which is also reviewed by the ChiefOperating Decision Maker (CODM).
The amount of revenue from external customers broken down by location if the customers is shown in table below :-
i) These represent legal claims filed against the Company by various parties and these matters are in litigation.Management has assessed that in all these cases the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits isnot probable.
ii) GST matters under dispute pertain to dispute regarding discrepancies between E-way bill and delivery challan.
iii) Income tax matters in last year pertain to matter regarding allowance of TDS credits.
i. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed in capital account (net of capital advances) isH5,476.93 lakhs (March 31, 2024 - 240.62 lakhs).
ii. The Company is carrying provision of H104.68 lakhs (March 31, 2024 - H 5.42 lakhs) towards forseeable losses in
relation to certain projects where the cost estimated to complete the project has significantly exceeded thecost expected at the time of bidding on account of:¬- Delay in awarding the project
- Increase in metal prices
The disclosures as required for revenue from contracts with customers are as given below
Disaggregation of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers and reconciliation of amount of revenuerecognised in the statement of profit and loss with the contracted price is as given below.
The Company executes the work as per the terms and agreements mentioned in the contracts. The Companyreceives payments from the customers based on the milestone achievement and billing schedule as established inthe contracts.
Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from supply of materials and erection services providedwhen the performance obligation is met. Upon achievement and acceptance of milestones mentioned by thecustomer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.
Contract liabilities are related to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and billing inexcess of contract revenue recognised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company satisfiesthe performance obligation under the contract.
Information about the Company's performance obligations is summarised below:
The performance obligations is the supply of materials and erection services. The supply of materials and erectionservices are promised goods and services which are not individually distinct. Hence both of them are counted asa single performance obligation under the contract. The satisfaction of this performance obligation happens overtime, as the performance or enhancement of the obligation is controlled by the customer. Also, the performance ofthe obligation creates an asset without any alternative use to the customer. The Company uses the input methodto determine the progress of the satisfaction of the performance obligation and accordingly recognises revenue.
The standalone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable considerationand significant financing component .
The Company takes on lease, storage places at various EPC sites to store the inventories which are used for construction.These leases are generally short term in nature, with very few contracts having a tenure of 1-2 years. Further, the Companyhas few guest houses, residential premises and office premises and IT assets also on leases which generally for a longerperiod ranging from 2-5 years.
The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Upon adoption of Ind AS116, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases for which it is the lessee, exceptfor short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease paymentsand right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets, on the commencement of the lease. Thereare several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company determines the lease termas the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it isreasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certainnot to be exercised. The leases which the Company enters, does not have any variable payments. The lease rents arefixed in nature with gradual escalation in lease rent.
Apart from the above, the Company also has various leases which are either short term in nature or the assets which aretaken on the leases are generally low value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assetsare recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has determined leasehold lands also as right of use assets and hence the same has been classified fromproperty, plant and equipment to right of use assets.
For movement of right of use assets, Refer note 3For movement of lease liability, Refer note 3.
For significant judgements used for accounting right of use assets and lease liabilities, Refer note 1D(6)
