The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control over the products (Power) or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company becomes entitled on such transaction in terms of agreement and/or orders as applicable to the transaction. This excludes the rebates, discounts, taxes and other collections on behalf of the third parties.
Sale of Power
Revenue in respect of sale of electricity generated is accounted for on delivery to the grid under long term/ mid-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) read with the regulations of State Electricity Regulatory Commission and/or short-term contracts/ merchant basis on completion of supply to the respective customers.
Revenue from third party power plant under operations and maintenance is recognised when service under the contract are rendered.

3.15 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing cost comprises of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of the funds. All borrowing costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest method except to the extent attributable to qualifying Property Plant Equipment which is capitalized to the cost of the related assets. A qualifying PPE is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
3.16 Taxes on income
Income tax expense representing the sum of current tax expense and the net charge of the deferred taxes is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current Tax
Current tax is provided on the taxable income and recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Advance tax and provisions are presented in the balance sheet after setting off advance tax paid and income tax provision for the respective financial year.
Interest expenses and penalties, if any, related to income tax are included in finance cost and other expenses respectively. Interest income, if any, related to income tax is included in "Other income".
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit as well as for unused tax losses or credits. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets & liabilities have been offset wherever the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities & where deferred tax assets & liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority.
Deferred taxes are calculated at the enacted or substantially enacted tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the corresponding deferred tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) measured in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability and such benefit can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the same will be realised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
3.17 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/loss for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the net profit/loss for the year and weighted average number of equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year including share options, convertible preference shares and debentures, except where the result would be anti-dilutive. Potential equity shares that are converted during the year are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, from the beginning of the year or date of issuance of such potential equity shares, to the date of conversion.
3.18 Statement of Cash flows
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby profit/loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
3.19 Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components of the Company and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments of the Company comprises three segments namely, Generating division, Contract division and Trading division. All operating segments operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
NOTE 4
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principle of Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the standalone financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period to period. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known/materialized and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.
The application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments and the use of assumptions in the standalone financial statements have been disclosed below. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
4.1 Depreciation/amortization of and impairment loss on property, plant and equipment/intangible assets.
Depreciation on assets of generating plant and equipment, building and roads, hydraulic works, transmission lines, transformers and cable network has been provided on straight line method over useful life as per the implementation/ other agreement with the authorities. Values of spares related to the machinery are depreciated over the effective life of the plant and equipment to which they relate. ROU assets are depreciated over the lease term or expected useful life of the asset, whichever is lower. Intangible assets are amortised over a period of five years. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation/ amortization to be recorded during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in such expenses in future periods.
The Company reviews its carrying value of its tangible and intangible assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. In such situation assets recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of asset''s or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount rate which reflects the current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realisations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted.
4.2 Arrangements containing leases
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any option to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the Company''s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
4.3 Impairment allowances on financial assets
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset including loan, trade and other receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the concerned parties to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the trade receivables, historical write-off experience and these factors are subject to variations leading to consequential impact on the amounts considered in the standalone financial statements.
4.4 Application of "Service concession arrangements" accounting
In assessing the applicability of the service concession arrangement with respect to hydro power plants of the Company, the management has exercised significant judgement considering the ownership of the assets and consideration there against, operational capabilities and ability to sell the power generated to the consumer and determine the rate in this respect, in concluding that the arrangements with the Company as such do not meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.
4.5 Current tax and Deferred tax
Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on the assessment of the probability of the Company''s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic benefits.
4.6 Defined benefit obligations (DBO)
Critical estimate of the DBO involves a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate, anticipation of future salary increases etc. as estimated by Independent Actuary appointed for this purpose by the Management. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
4.7 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/ litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

20.2 Capital reserve Capital reserve includes:
(a) '' 1,240.00 lakhs (31st March, 2023''1,240.00 lakhs) representing the reserves arising on forfeiture of 75,00,000 share warrants issued on preferential basis.
(b) '' 11.65 lakhs (31st March, 2023''11.65 lakhs) representing reserves arising on amalgamation pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement with erstwhile Dhanashree Projects Limited.

20.3 Securities premium
Securities premium represents the amount received in excess of face value of equity shares issued by the Company and is to be utilised for as specified under section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013.
20.4 General reserve
The general reserve is created from time to time by appropriating profits from retained earnings. The general reserve is created by transfer from one component of equity to another and accordingly it is not reclassified to profit or loss.
20.5 Retained earnings
Retained earnings generally represents the undistributed profit/amount of accumulated earnings of the company. Any actuarial gains/ (losses) arising on remeasurement of defined benefit plan have been recognised in Retained earnings.
Notes : (As certified by Independent Actuary)
1. Assumptions relating to future salary increases, attrition, interest rate for discount and overall expected rate of return on assets have been considered based on relevant economic factors such as inflation, seniority, promotion, market growth and other factors as applicable to the period over which the obligation is expected to be settled.
2. The expected return on plan assets is based on market expectation at the beginning of the year. The rate of return on long term government bonds is taken as reference for this purpose.
3. In respect of funded gratuity, the funds are managed by the insurer and therefore the percentage or amount that each major category constitutes the fair value of total plan assets and effect thereof on overall expected rate of return on asset is not ascertainable.
4. Acquisition adjustment represents amount in respect of certain employees transferred into/ transferred from the Company.
(A) Nature of goods and services

(ii) Income from construction contract
The Company engages in construction, development, implementation, operation & maintenance of projects and consultancies. The Company has executed various infrastructure related projects like bridges and hydro projects on contractual basis. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into with Public Works Department (PWD) of Dharamnagar, Agartala, Khowai division of Tripura and revenue from such activity is recognised progressively on percentage of completion method. Stage of completion of contracts in progress is assessed or estimated in proportion to the contract cost incurred relative to the estimated total cost of the contract.
The construction project shall be executed in the manner as prescribed in the MOU. Monthly Running account bill (R.A bill) shall be submitted to the departments within 30 days from the date of issue of completion certificate. All duties and taxes (Works contract tax, labour welfare, Cess, Goods and Services Tax) shall be borne by the Company.

(B) Fair Valuation Techniques
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, current borrowings, current financial liabilities and assets approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at nominal cost/amortised cost in the standalone financial statements approximate their fair values.
2. Long-term debts are from bodies corporate and promoter and the rate of interest are reviewed annually.
49 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company''s activities expose it to the following risks:
(a) Credit risk
(b) Liquidity risk
(c) Market risk
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Trade receivables of the Company mainly comprises of receivables from state electricity boards and government department and hence such risk is negligible. Trade receivables in case of trading operations are from various private parties and are therefore exposed to general credit risk. The Company has a policy to monitor such risk on an ongoing basis. However, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its lending activities to its subsidiaries.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of receivables.
The carrying amount of respective financial assets recognised in the standalone financial statements, (net of impairment losses) represents the Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk.
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks are insignificant as counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. The Company monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Company''s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
The following tables detail the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The information included in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
The Company has current financial assets which will be realised in ordinary course of business and unused line of credit. The Company monitors its rolling forecast of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational requirements.
The Company relies on mix of borrowings and operating cash flows to meet its need for funds and ensures that it does not breach any financial covenants stipulated by the lender.
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements resulting in fluctuation of the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument. The major components of Market risk are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes trade receivables, borrowings and trade payables.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company does not have significant transaction in foreign currency and accordingly it is not exposed to foreign currency risk. There are certain old outstanding balances which are unhedged. The details of the unhedged foreign currency exposures are given in note no. 43. The management continuously reviews the exchange rates and are in process of settling the balances.
(ii) Interest rate risk

NOTE 4
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principle of Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the standalone financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period to period. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.
The application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments and the use of assumptions in the standalone financial statements have been disclosed below. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
4.1 Depreciation/ amortization of and impairment loss on property, plant and equipment/ intangible assets.
Depreciation on assets of generating plant and machinery, building and roads, hydraulic works, transmission lines, transformers and cable network has been provided on straight line method over useful life as per the implementation/ other agreement with the authorities. Values of spares related to the machinery are depreciated over the effective life of the plant and machinery to which they relate. ROU assets are depreciated over the lease term or expected useful life of the asset, whichever is lower. Intangible assets are amortised over a period of five years. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation/ amortization to be recorded during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in such expenses in future periods.
The Company reviews its carrying value of its tangible and intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. In such situation assets recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of asset''s or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount rate which reflects the current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realisations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted.
4.2 Arrangements containing leases
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the Company''s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
4.3 Impairment allowances on financial assets
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset including loan, trade and other receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the concerned parties to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the trade receivables, historical write-off experience and these factors are subject to variations leading to consequential impact on the amounts considered in the standalone financial statements.
4.4 Application of "Service concession arrangements" accounting
In assessing the applicability of the service concession arrangement with respect to hydro power plants of the Company, the management has exercised significant judgement considering the ownership of the assets and consideration there against, operational capabilities and ability to sell the power generated to the consumer and determine the rate in this respect, in concluding that the arrangements with the Company as such do not meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.
4.5 Current tax and Deferred tax
Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on the assessment of the probability of the Company''s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic benefits.
4.6 Defined benefit obligations (DBO)
Critical estimate of the DBO involves a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate, anticipation of future salary increases etc. as estimated by Independent Actuary appointed for this purpose by the Management. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
4.7 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/ claim/ litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

49 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company''s activities expose it to the following risks:
(a) Credit risk
(b) Liquidity risk
(c) Market risk
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Trade receivables of the Company mainly comprises of receivables from state electricity boards and government department and hence such risk is negligible. Trade receivables in case of trading operations are from various private parties and are therefore exposed to general credit risk. The Company has a policy to monitor such risk on an ongoing basis. However, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its lending activities to its subsidiaries.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of receivables.
The carrying amount of respective financial assets recognised in the standalone financial statements, (net of impairment losses) represents the Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk.
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks are insignificant as counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

Note :
Revenue from sale of power, is accounted for on the basis of billing to Electricity Board in Karnataka as per Tariff approved by State Electricity Regulatory Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Long Term Power Purchase Agreement executed in this respect.
B) Defined Benefit Scheme :
The employee''s Gratuity fund scheme managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligations is determined based on actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method which recognises each period of services as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (projected unit credit method) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation recognised within the Balance Sheet.
Notes: (As certified by Independent Actuary)
1 Assumptions relating to future salary increases, attrition, interest rate for discount and overall expected rate of return on assets have been considered based on relevant economic factors such as inflation, seniority, promotion, market growth and other factors as applicable to the period over which the obligation is expected to be settled.
2 The expected return on Plan assets is based on market expectation at the beginning of the year. The rate of return on long term Government Bonds is taken as reference for this purpose.
3 In respect of Funded Gratuity, the funds are managed by the insurer and therefore the percentage or amount that each major category constitutes the fair value of total plan assets and effect thereof on overall expected rate of return on asset is not ascertainable.
4. Acquisition adjustment represents amount in respect of certain employees transferred into/ transferred from the company.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Capital Management
The Company follows a capital management strategy. The primary objective is to ensure that Company maintains a healthy capital ratio in order to support its business operations, have sufficient financial flexibility for borrowing requirements, if any, in future and to maximise shareholder value. The Company''s objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stake holders.
The management considers that the above carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
Fair Valuation Techniques
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values :
1. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, current borrowings, current financial liabilities and assets approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at nominal cost/amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
2. Long-term debts are from Body Corporate and the rate of interest are reviewed annually.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels as mentioned in Note 3.1 depending on the ability to observe inputs employed in their measurement.
During the year ended 31st March 2018; 31st March, 2017 and 1st April 2016, there was no transfer between Level 3 fair value measurements. Further, there is no transaction / balance for Level 1 and Level 2 categories.
Unquoted investments in shares have been valued based at cost as the latest audited financial statements were not available. There were no external unobservable inputs or assumptions used in such valuation.
Financial Risk Factors
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks - market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below :
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements resulting in fluctuation of the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument. The major components of Market risks are price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings.
a. Foreign Currency Risk
The company does not have significant transaction in foreign currency and accordingly it is not exposed to foreign currency risk. There are certain old outstanding balances which are unhedged. The details of the unhedged foreign currency exposures are given in Note No. 35. The management continuously reviews the exchange rates and are in process of setteling the balances.
b. Interest Rate Risk
The Company''s exposure in market risk relating to change in interest rate primarily arises from floating rate borrowing with banks and financial institutions.
With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of the borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans and borrowings and excluding loans on which interest rate swaps are taken.
A decrease in 0.50 basis point in Cash Credit & 0.25 basis point in Other Loans would have an equal and opposite effect on the company''s financial statements.
c. Other price risk
The company is not exposed to any other price risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Trade Receivables of the company mainly comprises of receivables from state electricity boards and government department and hence such risk is negligible. Trade receivales in case of trading operations are from various private parties and are therefore exposed to general credit risk. The company has a policy to monitor such risk on an ongoing basis. However the Company is exposed to credit risk from its lending activities to it''s subsidiaries.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of receivables.
The carrying amount of respective financial assets recognised in the financial statements, (net of impairment losses) represents the Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Cash and cash equivalents, investment and deposits with banks are neither past due nor impaired. Cash and cash equivalents with banks are held with reputed and credit worthy banking institutions.
Financial assets that are past due but not impaired
Trade receivables disclosed include amounts that are past due at the end of the reporting period but against which the Company has not recognised an allowance for doubtful receivables because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. The Company monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Company''s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
The following tables detail the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The information included in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
The company has current financial assets which will be realised in ordinary course of business and unused line of credits as given above. The Company monitors its rolling forecast of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational requirements.
The company relies on mix of borrowings and operating cash flows to meet its need for funds and ensures that it does not breach any financial covenants stipulated by the lender.
b) Disclosure as per Ind AS 101 First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards :
(I) Overall principle :
The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of 1st April, 2016 (the transition date) by recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in measurement of recognised assets and liabilities.
However, this principle is subject to certain mandatory exceptions and certain optional exemptions availed by the Company as detailed below :
(II) Mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions
(i) Classification and measurement of financial asset:
The Company has classified the financial assets in accordance with Ind AS 109 on the basis of facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.
(ii) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities :
The Company has applied the derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the transition date.
(iii) Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets :
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets recognised as of 1st April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and used that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date except in respect of leasehold land of windmill as given in Note 5A(a).
(iv) Deemed cost of investment in Subsidiaries and Associates :
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its investments in Subsidiaries and Associates recognised as of 1st April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
(v) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease :
The Company has applied Appendix C of Ind AS 17 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease to determine whether an arrangement existing at the transition date contains a lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at that date.
(vi) Impairment of financial assets :
Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" requires the impairment to be carried out retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, the Company, has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognized in order to compare it with the credit risk at the transition date.
Further, the Company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to Ind ASs, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101.
(vii) Business Combinations :
In terms of Ind AS 101 "First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards", the Company has elected to not to apply Ind AS 103 "Business Combination" for past combinations.
c) Explanatory Notes to reconciliation between Previous GAAP and Ind AS
i) Re-classification of Leasehold Land
Under previous GAAP, leasehold land was shown as a part of fixed assets, whereas under Ind AS, the same is considered as an operating lease and hence is shown as prepayments on leasehold land. This reclassification has resulted in decrease in depreciation and increase in rental expense and hence has no impact on other equity.
ii) Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations
Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income instead of profit or loss. Under the Previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year.
iii) Financial Assets accounted at amortised cost method under effective rate of interest
(a) Financial assets such as retention money and deposits have been valued by applying amortised cost method using Effective Interest Rate as per requirements of Ind AS 109 ''Financial Instruments''. Subsequent to transition date, the fair valuation difference on financial assets has been recognized in statement of profit & loss under other expenditure. Further, the accounting of such financial assets under the effective interest rate method, has resulted in increase in interest income.
(b) Interest free loan given to subsidiaries and associates were recorded at their transaction value under Previous GAAP. Under Ind AS, such loans are recognized at fair value on the date of transition/disbursements and the difference there against has been charged off against retained earnings/statement of profit & loss account except in case of cetain specific loans which are startegic and in the nature of contribution to subsidiaries. The differential amount in case of such strategic loans have been recognised as deemed investment on the date of transition/ disbursement. Subsequently, the interest free loans has been carried by applying amortised cost method using effective interest rate as per the requirements of IND AS 109 ''Financial Instruments'' and interest income has been recognised there against. In case of early prepayment, modification adjustment has been recorded and disclosed under Other Expense/Income.
iv) Proposed Divided
Under previous GAAP upto 1st April 2016, proposed dividends including dividend distribution tax are recognised as a liability in the period to which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared. Under IND AS, a proposed dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the company, usually when approved by the shareholders in a general meeting, or paid.
v) Insurance Contract
Under previous GAAP, corporate guarantee issued by the Company on behalf of the Subsidiary companies was not recognised but disclosed as Contingent Liability.
Under IND AS, such Corporate Guarantee issued by the Company being in the nature of ''Insurance Contracts'' has been recognised and disclosed as contingent liability.
vi) Current Tax and Deferred Tax
Under Previous GAAP, deferred taxes were recognised for the tax effect of timing differences between accounting profit and taxable profit for the year using the income statement approach. Under Ind AS, deferred taxes are recognised using the balance sheet for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The aforesaid difference, together with the consequential tax impact of other Ind AS transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences and accordingly, deferred tax adjustments have been recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or through other comprehensive income.
Further, under Previous GAAP, Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit Entitlement were shown under Other Non Current Assets and under IND AS, the same has been considered as deferred tax assets. Consequently, utilisation of MAT Credit entitlement relating to the year ended 31st March, 2017 and those prior to the transition date has been netted with the income tax expense and provision for tax respectively and corresponding charge has been made from deferred tax asset under Ind AS.
vii) Previous year figures have been regrouped and rearranged to comply with the IND AS Schedule presentation.
