the tribunal issued a reasoned unanimous award in May 2010 in favour of Alstom entities. HPGC then challenged the award in the District Court of Panchkulaand thereafter at High Court of Punjab & Haryana. However, the Arbitral award was upheld by the District Court as well as the High Court. Thereafter, in 2016,HPGC moved a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court which is currently pending. Supreme court issued an interim stay on the operation of the Award,subject to payment of H 1,000 million (against bank guarantee) by HPGC to Alstom entities.
The amount of H 1,000 million alongwith interest earned thereon amounting to H 607.0 million (previous year H 553.3 million) is thus held in trust pending finalorder of the Supreme Court and presented as "other current financial liabilities".
** There are no amounts which are required to be transfer to Investor Education & Protection Fund as at 31 March 2026

Disclosure given pursuant to Ind AS 115:
Revenue recognised/(reversal) during the current year from performance obligation satisfied [arising out of contract modificationsand / or change in estimates) in the previous periods H 70.3 million (previous year H (501.0) million] (net).
Performance obligation
Information about the company's performance obligation are summarised below:
(i) Execution of construction contracts
Construction contracts are ordinarily presumed to consist of combined obligations which are not distinct in the contextof the contract (i.e., single performance obligation). This is highly attributed to the long-term construction-nature of theprojects, whereby deliverables are typically highly interrelated and combined. The typical scope of long term contractsarrangements includes a composite range of activities viz. engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction andservicing etc. of power plants and equipment. Revenue from contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfiedover time and other consideration, is recognized as per the percentage of completion method.
(ii) Execution of sale of products
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the products passes to the customer.
(iii) Execution of sale of services
Sale of services are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.
Remaining performance obligation
As of 31 March 2026, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied)performance obligations was H 16,278 million (previous year H 26,623 million). The conversion to revenue is highlydependent on meeting the delivery schedules, contractual terms and conditions with customers, availability of customersites, changes/variation in scope /price etc. In view of these, it is not practical to define the accurate percentage ofconversion to revenue.
I) Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service getsa gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The plan is funded withan insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The following tables summarise the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the statement of profitand loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans.
i) Sensitivity analysis
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes indemographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularlysensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact inpercentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on accountof an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation andassuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changesfrom the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses.
Special Events:
The Code on Social Security, 2020 has been notified and made effective from 21 November 2025, thereby replacingthe erstwhile Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Code on Social Security, 2020 has updated the definition of thegratuity salary to "Wages” as defined in the Code on Wages, 2019 and has changed the vesting period for fixed-termcontract employees wherever applicable. This change has resulted in an increase in the liability of the Company,and has resulted in a past service cost for the company.
II) Provident fund
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident fund plan which is administered througha trust. The Trust deed provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest to be paid by theTrust to it's members and the income earned by it. Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. The Companyhas obtained an actuarial valuation of the provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date and accordingly theCompany has recognised a provision of H Nil million (previous year HNil million) towards provident fund liability.

Accounting classifications and fair values
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged incurrent transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value :
1 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities with short term maturities is considered as approximate to respectivecarrying amount due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
2 Fair value of non-current financial assets and liabilities has not been disclosed as there is no significant difference betweencarrying value and fair value.
The following tables shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levelsin the fair value hierarchy.
Measurement of fair values
Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): Derivatives are fair valued using market observable rates and published pricesfor similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
Financial risk relates to Company's ability to meet financial obligations and mitigate exposure to broad market risks, includingvolatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and commodity prices; credit risk; and liquidity risk, includingrisk related to our credit ratings and our availability and cost of funding. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from acustomer or counterparty failure to meet its contractual obligations. The Company faces credit risk in its industrial businesses,as well as in derivative financial instruments activities. Liquidity risk refers to the potential inability to meet contractual orcontingent financial obligations (whether on- or off-balance sheet) as they arise, and could potentially impact Companyfinancial condition or overall safety and soundness.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meetits contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers; loans and deposits.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
(i) Credit risk management
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, includingthe default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company also regularly assesses customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables andcontract costs and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offsetits accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. The Company also gains insight into futureutilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through its knowledge of the installed base of equipment and theclose interaction with its customers that comes with supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss(including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial statements and collection plan and available pressinformation about customers) and applying experienced credit judgement.
(a) Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivables :
With regards to all financial assets including security deposit amounting H64.3 million (previous year H62.1million) and other financial assets other than security deposits H 360 million (previous year H122 million) withcontractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets withnegligible credit risk.
The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strongcapacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provisionfor expected credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Break up of financial assets other thantrade receivables have been disclosed on balance sheet.
(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables
Based on assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ credit rating available in relation to defaultand delays in collection thereof, the expected credit loss for trade receivables is estimated to be in therange of 7.3%-13.1%.
The amount of total allowance for credit loss is disclosed in Note 13 and the movement thereof during theyears ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 is tabulated below:
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated withits financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach tomanaging liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when theyare due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage tothe Company's reputation.
The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans (comprising theundrawn borrowing facilities) together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.
(C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the priceof a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates,foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreigncurrency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currencytransactions, primarily with respect to the USD and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercialtransactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functionalcurrency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk by entering into derivatives such as forward contracts. When aderivative is entered into for the purpose of hedging, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives tomatch the terms of the foreign currency exposure.
45. The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed formaterial foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required underany law / accounting standards for material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative contracts)has been made in the books of account.
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and tosustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends toequity shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels ofborrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is total debt (including short term debt) divided by total capital plus debt.
