The Company recognizes a provision when it has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofpast events; it is likely that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle the obligation; and the amount canbe reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized forfuture operating losses.
Where there are a number of simitar obligations, thelikelihood that an outflow will be required to settle theobligation is determined by considering the class ofobligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even ifthe likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one itemincluded in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are carried at the present value of forecastpayments that are expected to be required to settle theobligation, using a rate before taxes that reflects thecurrent market assessment of the time value of moneyand the specific risks of the obligation. The increase inthe provision due to passage of time is recognized asinterest expense.
The Company is exposed to shortages in the supplyand rectification of erection services of the materialswhich generally are identified during the course of theexecution of the project. These shortages are due tovarious aspects like theft, pilferage and other losses.The Company therefore records the costs, net of anyclaims, at the time related revenues are recorded in theStatement of Profit & Loss.
The Company estimates such costs based on historicalexperience and estimates are reviewed on an annualbasis for any material changes in assumptions andlikelihood of occurrence.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arisesfrom past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events beyond the control of theCompany or a present obligation that is not recognizedbecause it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation. A contingentliability also arises in extremely rare cases where thereis a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannotbe measured reliably. The Company does not recognizea contingent liability but discloses its existence inthe financial statements. Contingent assets are onlydisclosed when it is probable that the economic benefitswill flow to the entity.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are translated at the functional currencyspot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement ortranslation of monetary items are recognized in profitor loss with the exception of the following:
- Exchange differences arising on monetaryitems that forms part of a reporting entity's netinvestment in a foreign operation are recognizedin Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in theStandalone Financial Statements of the reportingentity. The foreign operations are accounted in theStandalone Financial Statements as a non-integraloperation.
- Exchange differences arising on monetary itemsthat are designated as part of the hedge of theCompany's net investment of a foreign operationare recognized in OCI until the net investment isdisposed of, at which time, the cumulative amountis reclassified to Statement of Profit & Loss.
- Tax charges and credits attributable to exchangedifferences on those monetary items are alsorecorded in OCI.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms ofhistorical cost in a foreign currency are translated usingthe exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreigncurrency are translated using the exchange rates at thedate when the fair value is determined. The gain or lossarising on translation of non-monetary items measuredat fair value is treated in line with the recognition of thegain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e.,translation differences on items whose fair value gainor loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are alsorecognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
The Company operates equity-settled share basedremuneration plans for its employees.
For equity-settled share based payments, a liability isrecognised for the services acquired, measured initiallyat the fair value of the liability. All goods and servicesreceived in exchange for the grant of any share basedpayment are measured at their fair values on the grantdate. Grant date is the date when the Company andemployees have shared an understanding of terms andconditions on the arrangement.
Where employees are rewarded using share basedpayments, the fair value of employees services isdetermined indirectly by reference to the fair valueof the equity instruments granted. This fair value isappraised at the grant date and excludes the impactof non-market vesting conditions. All share basedremuneration is ultimately recognised as an expensein profit or loss. If vesting periods or other vestingconditions apply, the expense is allocated over thevesting period, based on the best available estimate ofthe number of share options expected to vest.
Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received,net of any directly attributable transaction costs, areallocated to share capital up to the nominal (or par)value of the shares issued with any excess beingrecorded as share premium.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measuredat the amount expected to be refunded from or paidto the taxation authorities. The tax rates and the taxlaws used to compute the amount are those that areenacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting datein the domicile country. Current income tax relating toitems recognized outside profit or loss is recognizedoutside profit or loss (either in other comprehensiveincome or in equity). The management periodicallyevaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respectto situations in which applicable tax regulations aresubject to interpretation and makes provisions whereverappropriate.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method ontemporary differences between the tax bases of assetsand liabilities and their carrying amounts for financialreporting purposes at the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewedat each reporting date and reduced to the extent that itis no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit willbe available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assetto be utilised. Unrecognized deferred tax assets arere-assessed at each reporting date and are recognizedto the extent that it has become probable that futuretaxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to berecovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured atthe tax rates that are expected to apply in the yearwhen the asset is realized or the liability is settled,based on tax rates and the tax laws that have beenenacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profitor loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either inother comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred taxitems are recognized in correlation to the underlyingtransaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offsetif a legally enforceable right exists to set off current taxassets against current tax liabilities and the deferredtaxes relate to the same taxable entity and the sametaxation authority.
I nventories are valued at the lower of cost and netrealizable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its presentlocation and condition are accounted for as follows:
> Raw Materials: Cost includes cost of purchase andother costs incurred in bringing the inventoriesto their present location and condition. Cost isdetermined on weighted average.
> Work-in-progress: Cost includes cost of directmaterials and labour and a proportion ofmanufacturing overheads based on the normaloperating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs.Cost of direct material is determined on weightedaverage. Work-in-Progress on constructioncontracts reflects value of material inputs andexpenses incurred on contracts including profitsrecognized based on percentage completionmethod on estimated profits in evaluated jobs.
> Traded goods: Cost includes cost of purchase andother costs incurred in bringing the inventoriesto their present location and condition. Cost isdetermined on weighted average.
> Consumable stores and construction materials arevalued and stated at lower of cost or net realizablevalue.
> Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizablevalue, whichever is lower. Costs are determined onweighted average method.
> Scrap are valued at net realizable value.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund, familypension fund and employee state insurance contributionis a defined contribution scheme. The Company hasno obligation, other than the contribution payable tothe provident fund, family pension fund and employeestate insurance contribution. The Company recognizescontribution payable to the provident fund scheme asan expense, when an employee renders the relatedservice. If the contribution payable to the scheme forservice received before the balance sheet date exceedsthe contribution already paid, the deficit payable to thescheme is recognized as a liability after deducting thecontribution already paid. If the contribution alreadypaid exceeds the contribution due for services receivedbefore the balance sheet date, then excess is recognizedas an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will leadto, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cashrefund.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity planin India, which requires contributions to be made toa separately administered fund and / or creation ofprovision for unfunded portion of defined gratuity.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefitplan is determined using the projected unit creditmethod.
Re-measurements, comprising of a ctu a ria l ga insand losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excludingamounts included in net interest on the net definedbenefit liability and the return on plan assets (excludingamounts included in net interest on the net definedbenefit liability), are recognized immediately in thebalance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit toretained earnings through OCI in the period in whichthey occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified toprofit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in the Statement ofProfit & Loss on the earlier of:
> The date of the plan amendment or curtailment,and
> The date that the Company recognizes relatedrestructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rateto the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Companyrecognizes the following changes in the net definedbenefit obligation as an expense in the standaloneStatement of Profit and Loss:
- Service costs comprising current servicecosts, past-service costs, gains and losses oncurtailments and non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or incomeTermination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable as a result of theCompany's decision to terminate employment beforethe normal retirement date, or whenever an employeeaccepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for thesebenefits. The Company recognizes these benefits whenit has demonstrably undertaken to terminate currentemployees' employment in accordance with a formaldetailed plan that cannot be withdrawn, or to provideseverance indemnities as a result of an offer made toencourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits that will notbe paid within 12 months of the balance sheet date arediscounted to their present value.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand,demand deposits in banks and other short-term highlyliquid investments with original maturities of threemonths or less. Bank overdrafts are shown within bankborrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customersrelated to goods sold or services rendered in theordinary course of business. If the receivables areexpected to be collected in a year or less (or in theoperation cycle if longer), they are classified as currentassets. Otherwise, they are recorded as non-currentassets.
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair valueand are subsequently measured at amortized costusing the effective interest rate method, less provisionfor impairment. A provision for impairment of tradereceivables is established when there is objectiveevidence that the Company will not be able to collectall amounts due in accordance with the original termsof the receivables. The existence of significant financialdifficulties on the part of the debtor, the probabilitythat the debtor will become bankrupt or undertake afinancial restructuring, and late payment or defaultare considered to be indicators of the impairment of areceivable. The amount of the provision is the differencebetween the asset's carrying amount and the presentvalue of estimated future cash flows, discounted at theeffective interest rate. The asset's carrying amount iswritten down as the provision is applied and the lossis recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.When a receivable is uncollectable, the provision forreceivables is made in Statement of Profit & Loss.Subsequent recoveries of receivables written off arerecognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss for theyear in which the recovery takes place.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,whereby the profit for the period is adjusted for theeffects of the transactions of a non-cash nature, anydeferrals or past and future operating cash flows,and items of incomes and expenses associated withinvesting and financing cash flows. The cash flows fromoperating and investing activities of the Company aresegregated.
Assets and liabilities relating to long term projects/contracts are classified as current/non-current basedon the individual life cycle of the respective contract /project as the operating cycle. In case of pure supplycontracts and other businesses, the operating cycle isconsidered as twelve months.
Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of qualifying assets, whichare assets that necessarily take a substantial period oftime to get ready for its intended use are added to thecost of those assets.
Interest income earned on temporary investment ofspecific borrowing pending their deployment is deductedfrom the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in theStatement of Profit and Loss in the period in which theyare incurred.
Investment in subsidiary / associate is carried at cost inthe Separate Financial Statements. Investment carriedat cost is tested for impairment as per IND AS 36.
I f the Company has a contract that is onerous, thepresent obligation under the contract is recognised andmeasured as a provision. However, before a separateprovision for an onerous contract is established, theCompany recognises any impairment loss that hasoccurred on assets dedicated to that contract. An onerouscontract is a contract under which the unavoidable costs(i.e., the costs that the Company cannot avoid becauseit has the contract) of meeting the obligations underthe contract exceed the economic benefits expectedto be received under it. The unavoidable costs undera contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from thecontract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it
and any compensation or penalties arising from failureto fulfil it. The cost of fulfilling a contract comprisesthe costs that relate directly to the contract (i.e., bothincremental costs and an allocation of costs directlyrelated to contract activities)."
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing theprofit attributable to owners of the Company by theweighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elementsin equity shares issued during the year and excludingtreasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used inthe determination of basic earnings per share to takeinto account the after income tax effect of interest andother financing costs associated with dilutive potentialequity shares and the weighted number of additionalequity shares that would have been outstandingassuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equityshares.

a The Company has an obligation to provide to the eligible employees defined benefit plans such as gratuity.The gratuity plan provides for a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, while inemployment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days of salary payable for eachcompleted year of service or part thereof. Vesting occurs upon completion of 5 consecutive years of service.The measurement date used for determining retirement benefit for gratuity is March 31.
The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit creditmethod, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlementand measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
The Company has defined benefit plans for gratuity which is funded through Life Insurance Corporation ofIndia (LIC) group gratuity scheme.
b These plans typically expose the Company to the actuarial risks, investment risks, interest rate risk, liquidityrisk and salary risk
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons.
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will resultinto an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in Mortality Rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumptionthan the gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the deathbenefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values ofthe assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in Withdrawal Rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumptionthan the gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether thebenefits are vested as at the resignation date.
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurermay not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability In such cases, the present value of the assets isindependent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the fundedstatus if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy accumulate significant level ofbenefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the Company there can be strain on the cash flows.
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financialmarkets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflectsthe time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in defined benefit obligation of theplan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds andhence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments thatare (i) recognised and measured at fair value and (ii) measured at amortized cost for which fair value are disclosed.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company has not recognised any of the outstanding financial instrument as on March 31, 2025 and March 31,2024 at fair value except as disclosed in the below in Note (2)(ii).
The Company has determined fair value of all its financial instruments measured at amortized cost.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) Long-term fixed-rate of borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates.
ii) The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measuredat fair value
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, and all other reservesattributable to the equity share holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management isto maximise the shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and therequirements of the lenders terms and conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjustthe dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capitalusing a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt.
1 The Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principalfinancial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly fromits operations.
2 The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management overseesthe management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by an appropriate financial riskgovernance framework for the Company which provides assurance to the Company's senior management that theCompany's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks areidentified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. It is the Company'spolicy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviewsand lays down policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
3 Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts and commodityfuture contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures and changes inprice of commodities. The counter party for these contracts is generally a multinational bank, financial institution orexchange. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilitiesin active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Mark to Market gain or losson derivative instruments is part of other current financial assets or liabilities.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk namely interest rate risk, currency risk andcommodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include receivables, payables, net investment inforeign operations, loans and borrowings and deposits.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections on the financial assets and financial liabilities relate to the positionas at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
• The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floatinginterest rates of the debt as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
• The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and otherpost-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities.
• The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective marketrisks.
I nterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relatesprimarily to the Company's long-term and short term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Presently the borrowings of the Company are subject to a floating interest regime at MCLR specified in the respectivefinancing agreements, which is subject to variation in rate of interest in the market. Considering the present marketscenario the Company's policy is to maximise the borrowings at MCLR based variable interest rate.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loansand borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax is affected through theimpact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observablemarket environment.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changesin foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarilyto the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense and monetary assets & liabilities is denominated in aforeign currency) .
Foreign currency exposure unhedged as at March 31,2025 is ' 1,711.73 Crores (PY ' 1,128.04 Crores) for trade and Otherreceivables and ' 718.45 Crores (PY ' 518.60 Crores) for trade and other payables.
The Company is affected by the price volatility of the major commodities. The Company's operating activities require theongoing purchase and manufacture of tower, conductors and poles and therefore require a continuous supply of steel,aluminium and zinc. It may be observed that all the three metals have significant volatility in the prices during the year.However in case of steel which is the major item, there is no marketplace to manage the price risk. The Company holdsderivative financial instruments such as commodity future contract to mitigate the risk of changes in aluminium prices.
Further substantial part of our revenues during the year were covered by escalation clauses which addresses the pricevolatility to a large extent.
Due to the significantly increased volatility of the price of the steel, aluminium and zinc, during the year the Companyentered into various purchase contracts for steel, aluminium and zinc at specific rates to manage the risk of the costs.The prices in these purchase contracts are linked to market rates.
The Company's Board of Directors has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity pricerisk and its mitigation.
Credit risk is the risk that 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 from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables)and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures andcontrol relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on the ability of
the customer to honour his commitments. The credit quality is also assessed on factors like state/central sponsoredundertaking, financial strength of the customer, assurance of payments like LC or Guarantees etc. Outstanding customerreceivables are regularly monitored and any shipments to major customers are generally covered by letters of creditor other forms of credit insurance. Retention is considered as part of receivable which is payable on completion of theproject and achieving the completion milestones. In certain contracts the retention would be realised on submission ofa bank guarantee, which is submitted as per the terms of the contract with customer.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a largenumber of minor receivables are consolidated into an homogenous class and assessed for impairment collectively.The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosedin Note 47. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk withrespect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate inlargely independent markets.
I n addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to financial guarantees given by the Company on behalfof joint operation (net of group share).These financial guarantees have been issued to the banks on behalf of the jointoperations. Based on the expectations at the end of reporting period, Company considers the likelihood of the any claimunder such guarantee is remote.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasury department inaccordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties andwithin credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company's Board ofDirectors on an annual basis, and updated throughout the year. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risksand therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
The Company monitors its risk of a shortage of funds using a liquidity planning tool. The Company's objective is to maintaina balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, debentures andother instruments. As at March 31, 2025 no term loan has matured based on the repayment schedule specified in thefinancing agreements with the lenders.
The disclosed financial instruments in the above table are the gross undiscounted cash flows. However, those amountsmay be settled gross or net.
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in thesame geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations tobe similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivityof the Company's performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
I n order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Company's policies and procedures include specific guidelinesto focus on the maintenance of a diversified portfolio which includes assessing of geopolitical factors, country riskassessment and other factors to have diverse customer relationships. Identified concentrations of credit risks arecontrolled and managed accordingly.
