These financial statements of the company have
been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting
Standards ("Ind ASâ) prescribed under Section 133 of
Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules as amended from time
to time. The accounting policies as set out below have
been applied consistently to all years presented in
these financial statements except where a newly issued
accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to
an existing accounting standard requires a change in
the accounting policy hitherto in use.
Amounts in the financial statements are presented in
Indian Rupees in Lakhs as permitted by Schedule III to
the Companies Act, 2013. Per share data is presented in
Indian Rupees.
These financial statements have been prepared on
the historical cost basis except for certain financial
instruments that are measured at fair values at the end
of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting
policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the
fair value of the consideration given in exchange for
goods and services.
Fair value is the price 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,
regardless of whether that price is directly observable
or estimated using another valuation technique. In
estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
company takes into account the characteristics of
the asset or liability if market participants would take
those characteristics into account when pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value
for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these
Financial Statements is determined on such a basis.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value
measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3
based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value
measurements are observable and the significance of
the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety,
which are described as follows:
⢠Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement
date;
⢠Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices
included within Level 1, that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
⢠Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the
asset or liability
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability,
the company uses observable market data as far as
possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value
of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the
fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement
is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the
fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
The material accounting policies are set out below:
Raw materials and stores and spares are stated at
the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of
inventories are determined on a weighted average basis
and includes all direct costs incurred in bringing such
inventories to their present location and condition. Net
realisable value represents the estimated selling price
for inventories less all estimated costs of completion
and costs necessary to make the sale.
Due allowance is made to the carrying amount of
inventory based on Management''s assessment/
technical evaluation and past experience of the company
taking into account its age, usability, obsolescence,
expected realisable value etc.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of 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
are segregated into operating, investing and financing
activities.
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet
comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with original maturity of three months or less,
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits,
as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts,
if any, as they are considered as integral part of the
Company''s cash management.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current
tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit
for the year. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before
tax'' as reported in the statement of profit and loss
because of items of income or expense that are taxable
or deductible in other years and items that are never
taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is
calculated using tax rates and laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding
tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all
taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets
are generally recognised for all deductible temporary
differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profits will be available against which those deductible
temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable
temporary differences associated with investment
in subsidiaries, except where the company is able to
control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse
in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising
from deductible temporary differences associated with
such interests are recognised only to the extent that it
is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits
against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary
differences and they are expected to reverse in the
foreseeable future.
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 assets to be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the
tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in
which the liability would be settled or the asset realised,
based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from
the manner in which the company expects, at the end
of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying
amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax expense is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. When they relate to items
that are recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, the current and deferred tax are also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity respectively.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises
the purchase price net of any trade discounts and
rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than
those subsequently recoverable) and includes interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying
property, plant and equipment up to the date the asset is
ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses
incurred up to that date. Subsequent expenditure
relating to property, plant and equipments is capitalised
only if such expenditure results in an increase in the
future benefits from such asset beyond its previously
assessed standard of performance.
Property, plant and equipment acquired and put to use
for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation
thereon is included in the project cost till the project is
ready for its intended use.
Any part or components of property, plant and
equipment which are separately identifiable and
expected to have a useful life which is different from
that of the main assets are capitalised separately,
based on the technical assessment of the management.
Projects under which assets are not ready for their
intended use and other capital work-in-progress
are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related
incidental expenses and attributable interest.
Property, plant and equipment retired from active use
and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net
book value and net realisable value and are disclosed
separately.
Capital work in progress represents projects under
which the property, plant and equipments are not yet
ready for their intended use and are carried at cost
determined as aforesaid.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is
provided pro-rata for the periods of use on the straight
line method at the rates specified in Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of certain assets
mentioned below which are provided for at the rates
based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, as
determined by the Management.
Plant and Equipment in the nature of Electrical
equipment including transmission facilities are
depreciated over a period of 22 to 27 years considering
the nature of the facilities and technical evaluation.
I ndividual assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 each are
depreciated in the year of purchase considering the
type and usage pattern of these assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
primary lease period.
Depreciation is accelerated on property, plant and
equipment, based on their condition, usability, etc. as
per the technical estimates of the Management, where
necessary.
Buildings and Plant and Machinery developed on land/
plot obtained on a lease arrangement are depreciated
over the term of the arrangement or the useful life of the
asset, whichever is lower.
I ntangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are
acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over
the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life
and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in
estimate being accounted for on prospective basis.
An Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition
of an intangible asset is measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement
of profit and loss.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company accounts for each lease component
within the contract as a lease separately from
non-lease components of the contract and allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease component
on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease
component and the aggregate standalone price of the
non-lease components.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the
lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost
of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall
comprise of the amount of the initial measurement
of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date less any
lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by
the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which
it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently
measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation,
accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for
any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-
use assets is depreciated using the straight line method
from the commencement date over the shorter of lease
term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated
useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the
same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.
Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever
there is any indication that their carrying amounts
may not be recoverable. Impairmen t loss, if any, is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of the lease. The lease payments
are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that
rate cannot be readily determined, the Company
uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with
reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a
lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental
borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental
borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease
payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease
payments, residual value guarantees, and exercise price
of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably
certain to exercise that option and payments of
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term
reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the
lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured
by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest
on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to
reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the
carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease
modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed
lease payments.
The Company recognises the amount of the
remeasurement of lease liability due to modification
as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and the
statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature
of modification. Where the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a
further reduction in the measurement of the lease
liability, the Company recognises any remaining
amount of the remeasurement in the statement of
profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements
of Ind AS 116 Leases to short term leases of all assets
that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases
for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease
payments associated with these leases are recognised
as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease
term.
The Company chose to present Right-of-use assets
along with the property plant and equipment, as if they
were owned.
At the inception of the lease the Company classifies
each of its leases as either an operating lease or a
finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments
received under operating leases as income on a straight
line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease,
finance income is recognised over the lease term based
on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return
on the lessor''s net investment in the lease. When the
Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its
interests in the head lease and the sublease separately.
It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease
with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from
the head lease, not with reference to the underlying
asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the
Company applies the exemption described above, then
it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease
components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 Revenue
from contracts with customers to allocate the
consideration in the contract.
For transition, the Company has elected not to apply the
requirements of Ind AS 116 to leases which are expiring
within 12 months from the date of transition by class of
asset and leases for which the underlying asset is of low
value on a lease-by-lease basis. The Company has also
used the practical expedient provided by the standard
when applying Ind AS 116 to leases previously classified
as operating leases under Ind AS 17 and therefore, has
not reassessed whether a contract, is or contains a
lease, at the date of initial application, relied on its
assessment of whether leases are onerous, applying Ind
AS 37 immediately before the date of initial application
as an alternative to performing an impairment review,
excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-
of-use asset at the date of initial application and used
hindsight when determining the lease term if the
contract contains options to extend or terminate the
lease. The Company has used a single discount rate to
a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
The company derives revenue primarily from Sale of
power.
Revenue from the sale of power is recognised on the
basis of the number of units of power exported, in
accordance with joint meter readings undertaken
on a monthly basis by representatives of the State
Electricity Board and the company, at rates agreed upon
with customers and when there is no uncertainty in
realising the same. Transmission, System Operating and
Wheeling/Other Charges payable to State Electricity
Boards on sale of power is reduced from Revenue.
Revenue from the end of the last invoicing to the
reporting date is recognized as unbilled revenue and are
classified as contract assets.
The company accounts for volume discounts and pricing
incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based
on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives
to each of the underlying performance obligation that
corresponds to the progress by the customer towards
earning the discount/ incentive.
a. Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Income
I ncome arising from REC is initially recognised in
respect of the number of units of power exported
at the minimum expected realisable value,
determined based on the rates specified under
the relevant regulations duly considering the
entitlements as per the policy, industry specific
developments, Management assessment etc and
when there is no uncertainty in realising the same.
The difference between the amount recognised
initially and the amount realised on sale of such
REC''s at the Power Exchange are accounted for as
and when such sale happens.
The issuance fee incurred for registering the RECs
are reduced from the REC income.
(i) Income in the form of Generation Based
Incentives are accounted for in the year of
generation for eligible units when there is no
uncertainty in receiving the same.
(ii) Revenue from windmill operations and
maintenance services is recognized based
on time elapsed mode and revenue is pro
rated over the period for which service is
performed.
The Company presents revenues net of indirect
taxes in its statement of Profit and loss.
(i) Dividend from investments is recognised when
the shareholder''s right to receive payment is
established and it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the company and the amount
can be measured reliably.
(ii) Interest income from a financial asset is
recognised when it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the company and the amount
of income can be measured reliably. Interest
income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to
the principal outstanding and the effective rate of
interest applicable, which is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the financial asset to that
asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(iii) I nsurance claims are accounted for on the basis
of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and
to the extent that the amount recoverable can be
measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect
ultimate collection.
Employee benefits are accrued in the period in which
the associated services are rendered by employees of
the company, as detailed below:
The Company''s contribution to State Governed provident
fund scheme, Employee State Insurance scheme and
Employee pension scheme are considered as defined
contribution plans and expenses are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of
contribution required to be made and when services are
rendered by the employees.
The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present
value of the defined benefit obligation are recognized
based on actuarial valuation using the projected
unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves
making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include
the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities
involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a
defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes
in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at
each reporting date.
The Company accrues for liability towards Gratuity which
is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation
under such defined benefit plan is determined based
on actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date,
using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains
and losses are recognized in the Statement of Other
comprehensive income in the period in which they
occur and are not deferred.
In accordance with Indian law, the company and its
subsidiaries in India operate a scheme of gratuity which
is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a
lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement,
death while in employment or on termination of
employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days'' salary
payable for each completed year of service. Vesting
occurs upon completion of five continuous years of
service. The Company formed a trust for making the
contributions. These contributions are classified as
plan assets and the corpus is managed by the Life
Insurance Corporation of India.
The plan assets are adjusted against the gratuity liability.
Any excess of Plan assets over the liability is grouped
under non-current/current assets respectively.
Short term employee benefits at the Balance Sheet
date, including short term compensated absences, are
recognized as an expense as per the company''s scheme
based on expected obligations on an undiscounted
basis.
The Company accounts for its liability towards long term
compensated absences based on the actuarial valuation
done as at the Balance Sheet date by an independent
actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
All gains/losses due to actuarial valuations are
immediately recognized in the Statement of profit and
loss.
Items included in the company''s financial statements
are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates
(the "functional currencyâ). The financial statements
are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the Company''s
functional currency and the company''s presentation
currency.
In preparing the company''s financial statements,
transactions in currencies other than the functional
currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates
of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the
date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the
year in which they arise except for exchange differences
on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets
under construction for future productive use, which
are included in the cost of those assets when they are
regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those
foreign currency borrowings.
Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currency
other than presentation currency are translated to the
presentation currency (INR) using closing exchange
rates prevailing on the last day of the reporting period.
Income and expense items are translated using average
exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences
arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity as "Foreign currency
translation reserve".
Borrowing costs specifically identified to the
acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are
capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is
one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time
to get ready for the intended use. All other borrowing
costs are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and
charged to the statement of profit and loss during
extended periods when active development activity on
the qualifying assets is interrupted.
Interest income earned on temporary investment of
specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs
eligible for capitalization. Borrowing costs that are not
directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised
in the statement of profit and loss using the Effective
Interest Rate (EIR) method.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
when the company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of
financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the
fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities,
as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of financial
assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss are recognised immediately in the statement of
profit and loss.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets
are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales
of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the time frame established by regulation or convention
in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently
measured in their entirety at either amortised cost
or fair value, depending on the classification of the
financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions
are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except
for debt instruments that are designated as at fair
value through statement of profit and loss on initial
recognition):
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give rise
on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions
are subsequently measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income (except for debt instruments
that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss
on initial recognition) :
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose
objective is achieved both by collecting contractual
cash flows and selling financial assets; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give rise
on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at
fair value.
The Effective Interest Rate method is a method of
calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and
of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all
fees and amounts paid or received that form an integral
part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) through the expected life
of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter
period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis
for debt instruments other than those financial assets
classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss and is included in the
"Other incomeâ line item.
On initial recognition, the company can make an
irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument
basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in
other comprehensive income pertaining to investments
in equity instruments. Investments in subsidiaries held
in the course of business are measured at fair value
through profit or loss. The related accounting treatment
is discussed in detail in the relevant sections below.
This election is not permitted if the equity investment
is held for trading. These elected investments are
initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains
and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
the ''Reserve for equity instruments through other
comprehensive income''. The cumulative gain or loss is
not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss on
disposal of the investments.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
⢠It has been acquired principally for the purpose of
selling it in the near term; or
⢠On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of
identified financial instruments that the company
manages together and has a recent actual pattern
of short-term profit-taking; or
⢠It is a derivative that is not designated and effective
as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity
instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign
currency rates are recognised in other comprehensive
income.
Financial assets are measured at fair value through
profit or loss unless they are measured at amortised cost
or at fair value through other comprehensive income
on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss are immediately recognised
in statement of profit and loss.
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised
for financial assets measured at amortised cost (or)
fair value through other comprehensive income (or) fair
value through profit or loss, as the case may be.
Loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit
losses is recognised if the credit risk on the financial
instruments has significantly increased since initial
recognition. For financial instruments whose credit risk
has not significantly increased since initial recognition,
loss allowance equal to twelve months expected credit
losses is recognised.
I n accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments,
the company follows ''simplified approach'' for
recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade
receivables wherein impairment loss allowance based
on lifetime expected credit loss at each reporting date,
is recognized right from its initial recognition.
The company derecognises a financial asset when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of the asset to another party. If the company neither
transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the
transferred asset, the company recognises its retained
interest in the assets and an associated liability for
amounts it may have to pay. If the company retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of
a transferred financial asset, the company continues
to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a
collateralised borrowing of the proceeds received.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the
company are classified according to the substance of
the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a
financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences
a residual interest in the assets of an entity after
deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments
issued by the company are recognized at the proceeds
received, net of direct issue costs.
Trade and other payables are initially measured
at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost, using
the effective interest rate method. Interest¬
bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued
debt are initially measured at fair value and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest rate method.
Any difference between the proceeds (net
of transaction costs) and the settlement or
redemption of borrowings is recognised over the
term of the borrowings in accordance with the
company''s accounting policy for borrowing costs.
(ii) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that
requires the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a
specified debtor fails to make payments when due
in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the
company are initially measured at their fair
values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are
subsequently measured at the higher of:
a. the amount of loss allowance determined in
accordance with impairment requirements
of Ind AS 109; and
b. the amount initially recognised less, when
appropriate, the cumulative amount of
income recognised in accordance with the
principles of Ind AS 115.
(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The company derecognises financial liabilities
when, and only when, the company''s obligations are
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference
between the carrying amount of the financial
liability derecognised and the consideration paid
and payable is recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset
when the company has a legally enforceable right (not
contingent on future events) to off-set the recognised
amounts either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the
net profit after tax by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing the net
profit after tax by the weighted average number of
equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per
share and also the weighted average number of equity
shares that could have been issued upon conversion of
all dilutive potential equity shares.
Further, the Basic and Diluted earnings per share
attributable to the equity shareholders of the Holding
Company are presented separately for continuing and
discontinuing operations for the year.
At the end of each balance sheet date, the company
assesses whether there is any indication that any
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
with finite lives may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated
to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.
When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, the company estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to
which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs
of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset
(or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately
in the statement of profit and loss.

ORIENT GREEN POWER COMPANY LIMITED ("the Company"), a public limited company incorporated in the year 2006 domiciled in India having its registered office at Fourth floor, Bascon Futura SV IT Park, No.10/1, Venkatanarayana Road, T.Nagar, Chennai - 600017 to carry out the business of investment, ownership in renewable energy areas like Wind and rendering of related operation & maintenance services.
The Company''s shares are listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
All the Indian Accounting Standards issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) till the financial statements are authorized have been considered in preparing these financial statements.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind ASâ) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. The accounting policies as set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
(i) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
(ii) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
(iii) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The material accounting policies are set out below:
Stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Allowance is made to the carrying amount of inventory based on Management''s assessment/technical evaluation and past experience of the Company taking into account its age, usability, obsolescence, expected realisable value etc.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit 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 are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities based on the extent of information available.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any as they are considered as integral part of the Company''s cash management.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before tax'' as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability would be settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from
the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. When they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Minimum Alternate Tax(''MATâ) credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year, in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the provisions contained in the Guidance Note issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises the purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable) and includes interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying property, plant and equipment up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Property, plant and equipment acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in the project cost till the project is ready for its intended use.
Any part or components of property, plant and equipment which are separately identifiable and expected to have a useful life which is different from that of the main assets are capitalised separately, based on the technical assessment of the management.
Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
Property, plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately.
Capital work in progress represents projects under which the property, plant and equipment''s are not yet ready for their intended use and are carried at cost determined as aforesaid.
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
I ndividual assets costing less than Rs.5,000 each are depreciated in the year of purchase considering the type and usage pattern of these assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary lease period.
Depreciation is accelerated on property, plant and equipments, based on their condition, usability, etc. as per the technical estimates of the Management, where necessary.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on prospective basis.
An Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life on straight line method.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from nonlease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right of- use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straightline method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right of- use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
The Company recognises the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the rig ht-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the remeasurement in statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company chose to present Right of use assets along with the property plant and equipment, as if they were owned.
At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor''s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers to allocate the consideration in the contract.
For transition, the Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to leases which are expiring within 12 months from the date of transition by class of asset and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value on a lease-by-lease basis. The Company has also used the practical expedient provided by the standard when applying Ind AS 116 to leases previously classified as operating leases under Ind AS 17 and therefore, has not reassessed whether a contract, is or contains a lease, at the date of initial application, relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous, applying Ind AS 37 immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review, excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application and used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company has used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Revenue from the sale of power is recognised on the basis of the number of units of power exported, in accordance with joint meter readings undertaken on a monthly basis by representatives of the State Electricity Board and the Company, at rates agreed upon with customers and when there is no uncertainty in realising the same. Transmission, System Operating and Wheeling/Other Charges payable to State Electricity Boards on sale of power is reduced from Revenue.
Revenue from the end of the last invoicing to the reporting date is recognized as unbilled revenue and are classified as contract assets.
The company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives to each of the underlying performance obligation that corresponds to the progress by the customer towards earning the discount/ incentive.
Revenue from Windmill Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contracts are recognized, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration and is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.
b. Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Income
I ncome arising from REC is initially recognised in respect of the number of units of power exported at the minimum expected realisable value, determined based on the rates specified under the relevant regulations duly considering the entitlements as per the policy, industry specific developments, Management assessment etc and when there is no uncertainty in realising the same. The difference between the amount recognised initially and the amount realised on sale of such REC''s at the Power Exchange are accounted for as and when such sale happens.
The issuance fee incurred for registering the RECs are reduced from the REC income.
Income in the form of Generation Based Incentives are accounted for in the year of generation for eligible Units when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.
Income from services is recognized upon rendering services, in accordance with the terms of contract.
The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its statement of Profit and loss.
Dividend from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment is established and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount can be measured reliably.
Interest from financial assets is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
Employee benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company, as detailed below:
The Company''s contribution to State Governed provident fund scheme, Employee State Insurance scheme and Employee pension scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and expenses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
TThe cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are recognised based on actuarial valuation as on the balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The Company accrues for liability towards Gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date, using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Re-measurements comprising of Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and are not deferred.â Remeasurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
In accordance with Indian law, the company and its subsidiaries in India operate a scheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days'' salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five continuous years of service. The Company formed a trust for making the contributions. These contributions are classified as plan assets and the corpus is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The plan assets are adjusted against the gratuity liability. Any excess of Plan assets over the liability is grouped under non-current/current assets respectively.
Short term employee benefits at the Balance Sheet date, including short term compensated absences, are recognized as an expense as per the Company''s scheme based on expected obligations on an undiscounted basis.
The Company accounts for its liability towards long term compensated absences based on the actuarial valuation done as at the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
All gains/losses due to actuarial valuations are immediately recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets and non-monetary grants are recognised and disclosed as ''deferred income'' as non-current liability in the Balance Sheet and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupees which represents the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity''s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise except for:
(i) exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in
the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.
Borrowing costs specifically identified to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
Interest income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest method.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss)are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in statement of profit and loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of ''Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income''. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to statement of profit and loss.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss and is included in the "Other incomeâ line item.
On initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the ''Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income''. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss on disposal of the investments.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
⢠It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
⢠On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
⢠It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income.
Loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognised if the credit risk on the financial instruments has significantly increased since initial recognition. For financial instruments whose credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition, loss allowance equal to twelve months expected credit losses is recognised.
I n accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables wherein impairment loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit loss at each reporting date, is recognized right from its initial recognition.
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing of the proceeds received.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy for borrowing costs.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:
a. the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
b. the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right (not contingent on future events) to off-set the recognised amounts either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Interest free loans/loans (extended at interest rates less than the Company''s borrowing rate) provided to
subsidiaries and associates are recognized at fair value on the date of disbursement and the difference on fair valuation is recognized as deemed investment in such subsidiary/ associate. Such deemed investment is added to the carrying amount of investments if any in such subsidiary/associate. Loans are accounted at amortized cost method using effective interest rate. If there is an early repayment of loan, the proportionate amount of the deemed investment recognized earlier shall be adjusted.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Further, the Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to the equity shareholders of the company are presented separately for continuing and discontinuing operations for the year.
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives may be impaired. If any such indication exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. The Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying value amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent assets are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts, unless possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.
Operating segments reflect the Company''s management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Company''s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure.
Ind AS 108 operating segment requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resource. The standard also required Management to make judgments with respect to recognition of segments. Accordingly, the Company recognizes Windmill Operation and Maintenance services as its sole segment.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating
cycle and other criteria set out in Notes forming part of these financial statements. Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Non-current assets (including disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised from the date when they are classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed off or is classified as held for sale and:
⢠represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and;
⢠is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements pertain to:
The Company has estimated useful life of each class of assets based on the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, etc. The Company reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Depreciation on Property Plant and Equipment is provided pro-rata for the periods of use on the straight line method(SLM) on the basis of useful life of the property, plant and equipment mandated by Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 or the useful life determined by the company based on technical evaluation, whichever is lower, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, maintenance support, as per details given below:

Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets are tested for impairment when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover and earnings multiples, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
At each Balance Sheet date, consideration is given to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company''s assets. If any indication exists, estimation is made for the asset''s recoverable amount, which is the greater of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount.
I mpairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, if any, are recognized in statement of profit and loss.
The management taking into account the present operations of the Company, proposed restructuring, future business prospects etc. makes provision towards impairment on the carrying value of investments in the subsidiaries and Associate and loans and advance given to them.
Management has assessed applicability of Appendix C of Indian Accounting Standards 115: Service Concession Arrangements for the power purchase agreement which the company has entered into. In assessing the applicability of SCA, the management has exercised significant judgement in relation to the underlying ownership of the assets, the attached risks and rewards of ownership, residual interest and the fact that secondary lease periods are not at nominal lease rentals etc. in concluding that the arrangements don''t meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.
Management''s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future
salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorization for issue.
Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted, but disclosed if material.

ORIENT GREEN POWER COMPANY LIMITED ("the Companyâ), a public limited company incorporated in the year 2006 domiciled in India having its registered office at Fourth floor, Bascon Futura SV, No.10/1, 10/2, Venkatanarayana Road, T.Nagar, Chennai - 600017 to carry out the business of investment, ownership in renewable energy areas like Wind and rendering of related operation & maintenance services.
The Company''s shares are listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCAâ) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:
(i) Ind AS 1 - Disclosure of material accounting policies:
The amendments related to shifting of disclosure of erstwhile "significant accounting policiesâ to "material accounting policiesâ in the notes to the financial statements requiring companies to reframe their accounting policies to make them more entity specific. This amendment aligns with the "materialâ concept already required under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
(ii) Ind AS 8 - Definition of accounting estimates:
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a "change in accounting estimatesâ has been replaced with a definition of "accounting estimates.â Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.â Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this
amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
(iii) Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12. At the date of transition to Ind AS, a firsttime adopter shall recognize a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Similarly, a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:
a) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
b) decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognized as part of the cost of the related asset.
Therefore, if a company has not yet recognised deferred tax on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities or has recognized deferred tax on net basis, the same need to recognize on gross basis based on the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
(iv) Ind AS 103 - Common control Business Combination
The amendments modify the disclosure requirement for business combination under common control in the first financial statement following the business combination. It requires to disclose the date on which the transferee obtains control of the transferor.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind ASâ) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. The accounting policies as set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the
end of each reporting period, as explained in accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
(i) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
(ii) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
(iii) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The principal accounting policies are set out below:
Stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Allowance is made to the carrying amount of inventory based on Management''s assessment/technical evaluation and past experience of the Company taking into account its age, usability, obsolescence, expected realisable value etc.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit 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 are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities based on the extent of information available.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any as they are considered as integral part of the Company''s cash management.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before tax'' as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability would be settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. When they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Minimum Alternate Tax(MAT) credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year, in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the provisions contained in the Guidance Note issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises the purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than
those subsequently recoverable) and includes interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying property, plant and equipment up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Property, plant and equipment acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in the project cost till the project is ready for its intended use.
Any part or components of property, plant and equipment which are separately identifiable and expected to have a useful life which is different from that of the main assets are capitalised separately, based on the technical assessment of the management.
Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
Property, plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately.
Capital work in progress represents projects under which the property, plant and equipment''s are not yet ready for their intended use and are carried at cost determined as aforesaid.
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
I ndividual assets costing less than Rs.5,000 each are depreciated in the year of purchase considering the type and usage pattern of these assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary lease period.
Depreciation is accelerated on property, plant and equipments, based on their condition, usability, etc. as per the technical estimates of the Management, where necessary.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on prospective basis.
An Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life on straight line method.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from nonlease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right - of - use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straightline method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right of- use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
The Company recognises the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further
reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the remeasurement in statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company chose to present Right of use assets along with the property plant and equipment, as if they were owned.
At the inception of the lease, the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straightline basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor''s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers to allocate the consideration in the contract.
For transition, the Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to leases which are expiring within 12 months from the date of transition by class of asset and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value on a lease-by-lease basis. The Company has also used the practical expedient provided by the standard when applying Ind AS 116 to leases previously classified as operating leases under Ind AS 17 and therefore, has not reassessed whether a contract, is or contains a
lease, at the date of initial application, relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous, applying Ind AS 37 immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review, excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application and used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company has used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Revenue from the sale of power is recognised on the basis of the number of units of power exported, in accordance with joint meter readings undertaken on a monthly basis by representatives of the State Electricity Board and the Company, at rates agreed upon with customers and when there is no uncertainty in realising the same. Transmission, System Operating and Wheeling/Other Charges payable to State Electricity Boards on sale of power is reduced from Revenue.
Revenue from the end of the last invoicing to the reporting date is recognized as unbilled revenue and are classified as contract assets.
The company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives to each of the underlying performance obligation that corresponds to the progress by the customer towards earning the discount/ incentive.
Revenue from Windmill Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contracts are recognized, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration and is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.
Income arising from REC is initially recognised in respect of the number of units of power exported at the minimum expected realisable value, determined based on the rates specified under the relevant regulations duly considering the entitlements as per the policy, industry specific developments, Management assessment etc and when there is no uncertainty in realising the same. The difference between the amount recognised initially and the amount realised on sale of such REC''s at the Power Exchange are accounted for as and when such sale happens.
The issuance fee incurred for registering the RECs are reduced from the REC income.
Income in the form of Generation Based Incentives are accounted for in the year of generation for eligible Units when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.
Income from services is recognized upon rendering services, in accordance with the terms of contract.
The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its statement of Profit and loss.
Dividend from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment is established and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount can be measured reliably.
Interest from financial assets is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
Employee benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company, as detailed below:
The Company''s contribution to State Governed provident fund scheme, Employee State Insurance scheme and Employee pension scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and expenses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are recognised based on actuarial valuation as on the balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The Company accrues for liability towards Gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date, using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Re-measurements comprising of Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and are not deferred. Remeasurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
In accordance with Indian law, the company and its subsidiaries in India operate a scheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days'' salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five continuous years of service. The Company formed a trust for making the contributions. These contributions are classified as
plan assets and the corpus is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The plan assets are adjusted against the gratuity liability. Any excess of Plan assets over the liability is grouped under non-current/current assets respectively.
Short term employee benefits at the Balance Sheet date, including short term compensated absences, are recognized as an expense as per the Company''s scheme based on expected obligations on an undiscounted basis.
The Company accounts for its liability towards long term compensated absences based on the actuarial valuation done as at the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
All gains/losses due to actuarial valuations are immediately recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets and non-monetary grants are recognised and disclosed as ''deferred income'' as non-current liability in the Balance Sheet and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupees which represents the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity''s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise except for:
(i) exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.
Borrowing costs specifically identified to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
Interest income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest method.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in statement of profit and loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI
financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of ''Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income''. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to statement of profit and loss.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss and is included in the "Other incomeâ line item.
On initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the ''Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income''. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss on disposal of the investments.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
⢠It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
⢠On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company
manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
⢠It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income.
Loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognised if the credit risk on the financial instruments has significantly increased since initial recognition. For financial instruments whose credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition, loss allowance equal to twelve months expected credit losses are recognised.
In accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables wherein impairment loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date, are recognized right from its initial recognition.
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing of the proceeds received.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance
of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy for borrowing costs.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:
a. the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109;and
b. the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right (not contingent on future events) to off-set the recognised amounts either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously
Interest free loans/loans (extended at interest rates less than the Company''s borrowing rate) provided to subsidiaries and associates are recognized at fair value on the date of disbursement and the difference on fair valuation is recognized as deemed investment in such subsidiary/ associate. Such deemed investment is added to the carrying amount of investments if any in such subsidiary/associate. Loans are accounted at amortized cost method using effective interest rate. If there is an early repayment of loan, the proportionate amount of the deemed investment recognized earlier shall be adjusted.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Further, the Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to the equity shareholders of the company are presented separately for continuing and discontinuing operations for the year.
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives may be impaired. If any such indication exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. The Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying value amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent assets are d isclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent liabilities are d isclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts, unless possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.
Operating segments reflect the Company''s management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Company''s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure.
Ind AS 108 operating segment requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resource. The standard also required Management to make judgments with respect to recognition of segments. Accordingly, the Company recognizes Windmill Operation and Maintenance services as its sole segment.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Notes forming part of these financial statements. Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Non-current assets (including disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised from the date when they are classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed off or is classified as held for sale and:
⢠represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and;
⢠is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements pertain to:
The Company has estimated useful life of each class of assets based on the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, etc. The Company reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment is provided pro-rata for the periods of use on the straight line method (SLM) on the basis of useful life of the property, plant and equipment mandated by Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 or the useful life determined by the company based on technical evaluation, whichever is lower, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, maintenance support, as per details given below:

Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets are tested for impairment when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover and earnings multiples, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions.
I n assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
At each Balance Sheet date, consideration is given to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company''s assets. If any indication exists, estimation is made for the asset''s recoverable amount, which is the greater of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount.
I mpairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, if any, are recognized in statement of profit and loss.
The management taking into account the present operations of the Company, proposed restructuring, future business prospects etc. makes provision towards impairment on the carrying value of investments in the subsidiaries and Associate and loans and advances given to them.
Management has assessed applicability of Appendix C of Indian Accounting Standards 115: Service Concession Arrangements for the power purchase agreement which the company has entered into. In assessing the applicability of SCA, the management has exercised significant judgement in relation to the underlying ownership of the assets, the attached risks and rewards of ownership, residual interest and the fact that secondary lease periods are not at nominal lease rentals etc. in concluding that the arrangements don''t meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.
Management''s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorization for issue.
Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted, but disclosed if material.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. The accounting policies as set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements.
1.2 Basis of preparation and presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
(i) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
(ii) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
(iii) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The principal accounting policies are set out below:
1.3 Inventories
Stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Allowance is made to the carrying amount of inventory based on Managementâs assessment/ technical evaluation and past experience of the Company taking into account its age, usability, obsolescence, expected realisable value etc.
1.4 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit 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 are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities based on the extent of information available.
1.5 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
1.5.1 Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from âprofit before taxâ as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Companyâs current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
1.5.2Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability would be settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
1.5.3Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. When they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
1.5.4Minimum Alternate Tax
Minimum Alternate Tax(âMATâ) credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year, in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the provisions contained in the Guidance Note issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
Property, plant and equipments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets comprises the purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable) and includes interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Property, plant and equipments acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in the project cost till the project is ready for its intended use.
Any part or components of property, plant and equipments which are separately identifiable and expected to have a useful life which is different from that of the main assets are capitalised separately, based on the technical assessment of the management.
Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
Property, plant and equipments retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately.
Capital work in progress represents projects under which the property, plant and equipmentâs are not yet ready for their intended use and are carried at cost determined as aforesaid.
1.6.1 Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Individual assets costing less than Rs.5,000 each are depreciated in the year of purchase considering the type and usage pattern of these assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary lease period.
Depreciation is accelerated on property, plant and equipments, based on their condition, usability, etc. as per the technical estimates of the Management, where necessary.
1.7 Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on prospective basis.
An Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use of disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
1.7.1 Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life on straight line method.
1.8 Leases
Leases are classified as finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All the other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognized as expenditure in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis, unless another basis is more representative of the time pattern of benefits received from the use of the assets taken on lease or the payments of lease rentals are in line with the expected general inflation compensating the lessor for expected inflationary cost. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
1.9 Revenue recognition Sale of Power
Revenue from the sale of power is recognised on the basis of the number of units of power exported net of charges of distribution (like transmission charges, system operating charges, wheeling charges and other charges), in accordance with joint meter readings undertaken on a monthly basis by representatives of the State Electricity Board and the Company, at rates agreed upon with customers and when there is no uncertainty in realising the same. Transmission, System Operating and Wheeling/Other Charges payable to State Electricity Boards on sale of power is reduced from Revenue.
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Income
Income arising from REC is initially recognised in respect of the number of units of power exported at the minimum expected realisable value, determined based on the rates specificed under the relevant regulations duly considering the entitlements as per the policy, industry specific developments, Management assessment etc and when there is no uncertainty in realising the same. The difference between the amount recognised initially and the amount realised on sale of such RECâs at the Power Exchange are accounted for as and when such sale happens.
Generation Based Incentive (GBI) Income
Income in the form of Generation Based Incentives are accounted for in the year of generation for eligible Units when there is certainty in receiving the same.
Other Income
Dividend from investments is recognised when the shareholderâs right to receive payment is established and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount can be measured reliably.
Interest from financial assets is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assetâs net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
1.10 Employee Benefits
Employee benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company, as detailed below:
Defined contribution plans
The Companyâs contribution to State Governed provident fund scheme, Employee State Insurance scheme and Employee pension scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and expenses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are recognised based on actuarial valuation as on the balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The Company accrues for liability towards Gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date, using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and are not deferred.
Short Term benefits
Short term employee benefits at the Balance Sheet date, including short term compensated absences, are recognized as an expense as per the Companyâs scheme based on expected obligations on an undiscounted basis.
Long term employee benefits
The Company accounts for its liability towards long term compensated absences based on the actuarial valuation done as at the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
1.11 Government grants
Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets and non-monetary grants are recognised and disclosed as âdeferred incomeâ as non-current liability in the Balance Sheet and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
1.12 Foreign Currencies
The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupees which represents the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entityâs functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
(i) exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.
1.13 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs specifically identified to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
Interest income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss using the effective interest method.
1.14 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss)are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.14.1 Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of âReserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive incomeâ. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
Amortised cost and Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the âOther incomeâ line item.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the âReserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive incomeâ. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
- It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
- On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
- It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Impairment of financial assets
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income.
Loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognised if the credit risk on the financial instruments has significantly increased since initial recognition. For financial instruments whose credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition, loss allowance equal to twelve months expected credit losses is recognised.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing of the proceeds received.
1.14.2 Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial Liabilities
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Companyâs accounting policy for borrowing costs.
Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:
a. the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
b. the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 18.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Companyâs obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.15 Loans and advances to subsidiaries(including step down subdisiaries) and associates
Interest free loans/loans (extended at interest rates less than the Companyâs borrowing rate) provided to subsidiaries and associates are recognized at fair value on the date of disbursement and the difference on fair valuation is recognized as deemed investment in such subsidiary/ associate. Such deemed investment is added to the carrying amount of investments if any in such subsidiary/associate. Loans are accounted at amortized cost method using effective interest rate. If there is an early repayment of loan, the proportionate amount of the deemed investment recognized earlier shall be adjusted.
1.16 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.17 Impairment of assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives may be impaired. If any such indication exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. The Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount if an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying value amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) us reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
1.18 Provisions , Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent assets are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts, unless possibility of an outflow of resources embodyi ng economic benefit is remote.
1.19 Operating Segment
Operating segments reflect the Companyâs management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Companyâs Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / (loss) amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities.
1.20 Operating Cycle
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companyâs normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Notes. Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

1. Corporate Information
Orient Green Power Company Limited (OGPL) ("the company") was incorporated in the year 2006 having its registered office at No. 18/3, Sigapi Achi Building, Rukmani Lakshmipathi Road, Egmore, Chennai- 600 008 to carry out the business of investment, ownership and operation in renewable energy areas like biomass power, mini hydel, wind power, biogas power and biofuels.
2. Applicability of new and revised Ind AS:
All the Indian Accounting Standards issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) till the financial statements are authorized have been considered in preparing these financial statements. There is no other Indian Accounting Standard that has been issued as of that date but was not mandatorily effective.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Recent Standards Issued but not effective
In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, "Statement of Cash Flows" and "Ind AS 102, "Share-based Payment". These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, "Statement of Cash Flows" and IFRS 2 "Share-based Payment", respectively. The amendments are applicable to the Company from 1 April 2017.
Amendment to Ind AS 7 :
The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable the users of the financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities including both changes arising from cash flows and non cash changes suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening balance in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities to meet the disclosure requirement. The Company is evaluating the requirement of the amendment and the effect on the financial statements is being evaluated.
Amendment to Ind AS 102:
The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of witholding taxes. As at 31 March 2017, the Company does not have any share-based payment plans.
The Company has not opted for early adoption of the above amendments and will not have a any material impact on the financial statements of the Company when adopted.
3. Significant Accounting Policies :
3.1 Statement of compliance
The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. The accounting policies as set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these standalone financial statements.
The Company has adopted Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as "Ind AS") notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 with effect from 1 April 2015. Upto the year ended 31 March 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These are the Company''s first Ind AS financial statements. The date of transition to Ind AS is 1 April 2015. Previous year figures in the financial statements have been restated to Ind AS. In accordance with Ind AS 101 First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, the Company has presented a reconciliation from the presentation of financial statements under Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 ("Previous GAAP") to Ind AS of Shareholders'' equity as at 31 March 2016 and 1 April 2015 and of the Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 March 2016. Reconciliation and description of the effect of transition has been summarized in Note 46.
Refer Note 3.19 for the details of first-time adoption exemptions availed by the Company.
3.2 Basis of preparation and presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
(i) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
(ii) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
(iii) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company has adopted all the Ind AS standards and the adoption was carried in accordance with Ind AS 101 - First time adoption of India Accounting standards. The transition was carried out from Indian Accounting principles generally accepted in India as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules , 2014 (IGAAP) which was the previous GAAP
The principal accounting policies are set out below:
3.3 Inventories
Raw materials and stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all direct cost incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make sale.
Due allowance is made to the carrying amount of inventory based on Management''s assessment/ technical evaluation and past experience of the Company duly taking into account its age, usability, obsolescence, expected realizable value etc.
3.4 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit 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 are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities based on the extent of information available.
3.5 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
3.5.1 Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before tax'' as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
3.5.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid 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. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with asset will be realized.
3.5.3 Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
3.6 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises the purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable) and includes interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying property, plant and equipment up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment''s is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Property, plant and equipment acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalized and depreciation thereon is included in the project cost till the project is ready for its intended use.
Any part or components of property, plant and equipment which are separately identifiable and expected to have a useful life which is different from that of the main assets are capitalized separately, based on the technical assessment of the management.
Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
Property, plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are disclosed separately.
For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognized as of April 1, 2015 (transition date ) measured as per the pervious GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
Capital work in progress represents projects under which the property, plant and equipment''s are not yet ready for their intended use and are carried at cost determined as aforesaid.
3.6.1 Depreciation
Depreciation on property plant and equipment is provided pro-rata for the periods of use on the straight-line method at the rates specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of certain assets mentioned below which are provided for at the rates based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, as determined by the Management.
Plant and Equipment treated as Continuous Process Plants based on technical evaluation done by the Management are depreciated over a period of 19 years duly considering the nature of the plants and technical assessment.
Plant and Equipment in the nature of transmission facilities are depreciated over a period of 21 years considering the nature of the facilities and technical evaluation.
Individual assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 each are depreciated in the year of purchase considering the type and usage pattern of these assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary lease period.
Depreciation is accelerated on property plant and equipment, based on their condition, usability, etc. as per the technical estimates of the Management, where necessary.
Buildings and Plant and Machinery on land/plant obtained on a lease arrangement are depreciated over the Term of the arrangement.
3.7 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognized as of April 1, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
3.7.1Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life on straight line method.
3.8 Leases
Leases are classified as finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All the other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognized as expenditure in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis, unless another basis is more representative of the time pattern of benefits received from the use of the assets taken on lease or the payments of lease rentals are in line with the expected general inflation compensating the lessor for expected inflationary cost. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Assets held under finance lease are capitalized at the inception of the lease, with corresponding liability being recognized for the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the reduction of the lease liability and finance charges in the statement of Profit or Loss so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
3.9 Revenue recognition Sale of Power
Revenue from the sale of power is recognized on the basis of the number of units of power exported, in accordance with joint meter readings undertaken on a monthly basis by representatives of the State Electricity Board and the Company, at rates agreed upon with customers and when there is no uncertainty in realizing the same. Transmission, System Operating and Wheeling/Other Charges payable to State Electricity Boards on sale of power is reduced from Revenue.
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Income
Income arising from REC is initially recognized in respect of the number of units of power exported at the minimum expected realizable value, determined based on the rates specificed under the relevant regulations duly considering the entitlements as per the policy, industry specific developments, Management assessment etc and when there is no uncertainty in realizing the same. The difference between the amount recognized initially and the amount realized on sale of such REC''s at the Power Exchange are accounted for as and when such sale happens.
Other Income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder''s right to receive payment is established. (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
Interest income from financial assets is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
3.10 Employee Benefits
Employee benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company, as detailed below:
Defined contribution plans
The Company''s contribution to State Governed provident fund scheme, Employee State Insurance scheme and Employee pension scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and expenses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The Company accrues for liability towards Gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date, using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Short Term benefits
Short term employee benefits at the Balance Sheet date, including short term compensated absences, are recognized as an expense as per the Company''s scheme based on expected obligations on an undiscounted basis.
Long term employee benefits
The Company accounts for its liability towards long term compensated absences based on the actuarial valuation done as at the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
3.11 Government grants
Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets and non-monetary grants are recognized and disclosed as ''deferred income'' as non-current liability in the Balance Sheet and transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
3.12 Foreign Currencies
The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupees which represents the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.
"In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity''s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:"
(i) exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.
3.13 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs specifically identified to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
Interest income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss using the effective interest method.
3.14 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss)are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.14.1 Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
"Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding."
"Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding."
Changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of FVTOCI financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of ''Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income''. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
Amortized cost and Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the ''Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income''. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments. A financial asset is held for trading if:
- I t has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
- On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
- It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee. Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Impairment of financial assets
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognized for financial assets measured at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income.
Loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized if the credit risk on the financial instruments has significantly increased since initial recognition. For financial instruments whose credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition, loss allowance equal to twelve months expected credit losses is recognized.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralised borrowing of the proceeds received.
3.14.2 Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial Liabilities
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy for borrowing costs.
Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:
a. the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
b. the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 18.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.15 Investments in subsidiaries and associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies
The Company records the investments in subsidiaries and associates at cost less impairment loss, if any.
Interest free loans provided to subsidiary are recognized at fair value on the date of disbursement and the difference on fair valuation is recognized as deemed investment in subsidiary. Such deemed investment is added to the carrying amount of investment in subsidiaries. Loans are accounted at amortized cost method using effective interest rate. If there is an early repayment of loan made by the subsidiary, the proportionate amount of the deemed investment recognized earlier is adjusted.
Interest free loans/loans (extended at interest rates less than the Company''s borrowing rate) provided to fellow subsidiaries and associates are recognized at fair value on the date of disbursement and the difference on fair valuation is recognized as deemed investment in such fellow subsidiary/ associate. Such deemed investment is added to the carrying amount of investments if any in such fellow subsidiary/associate. Loans are accounted at amortized cost method using effective interest rate. If there is an early repayment of loan, the proportionate amount of the deemed investment recognized earlier shall be adjusted.
3.16 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
3.17 Impairment of assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives may be impaired. If any such impairment exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount if an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying value amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.18 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent assets are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts, unless possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.
3.19 First-time adoption-mandatory exceptions, optional exemptions
3.19.1 Overall principle
The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of April 1, 2015 (the transition date) by recognizing all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognizing items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying certain items from Previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under the Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in the measurement of recognized assets and liabilities.
However, this principle is subject to certain mandatory exceptions and certain optional exemptions availed by the Company as detailed below.
3.19.2 Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
The Company has applied the derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for transactions occurring on or after April 1, 2015 (the transition date).
3.19.3 Classification of debt instruments
The Company has determined the classification of debt instruments in terms of whether they meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the transition date.
3.19.4 Impairment of financial assets
The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, it 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.
3.19.5 Deemed cost for PPE, investment property and intangible assets
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets recognized as of April 1, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and used that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date except adjustment related to decommissioning liabilities.
3.19.6 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
The Company has applied Appendix C of Ind AS 17 ''Leases'' for determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease at the transition date on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at that date.
3.19.7 Investments in subsidiaries and associates
The Company has elected to carry its investments in subsidiaries and associates at deemed cost being carrying amount under Previous GAAP on the transition date.
3.20 Non-Current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets or disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale, and actions required to complete the plan of sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.
3.21 Operating Segment
Operating segments reflect the Company''s management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Company''s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organization and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / (loss) amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities.
3.22 Service Tax Input Credit
Service tax Input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying service received is accounted and when there is reasonable certainty in availing / utilizing the credits.
3.23 Operating Cycle
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Notes. Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
4. Critical accounting assumptions:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements pertain to:
4.1 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets:
The Company has estimated useful life of each class of assets based on the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, etc. The Company reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Depreciation on Property Plant and Equipment is provided pro-rata for the periods of use on the straight line method(SLM) on the basis of useful life of the property, plant and equipment mandated by Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 or the useful life determined by the company based on technical evaluation, whichever is lower, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, maintenance support, as per details given below:
4.2 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets are tested for impairment when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover and earnings multiples, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions.
I n assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
At each Balance Sheet date, consideration is given to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company''s assets. If any indication exists, estimation is made for the asset''s recoverable amount, which is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, if any, are recognized in profit or loss section of the statement of profit and loss.
4.3 Provision against investments / Loans and Advances to Subsidiaries and Associate

4.5 Determining whether an arrangement contain leases and classification of leases
The Company enters into service / hiring arrangements for various assets / services. The determination of lease and classification of the service / hiring arrangement as a finance lease or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee''s option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease term to the asset''s economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent of specialized nature of the leased asset.
4.6 Employee Benefits - Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Management''s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares).

Deferred tax assets are recognized for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realized. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realize the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their readability.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is highly probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
2.19 Impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists. The following intangible assets are tested for impairment each financial year even if there is no indication that the asset is impaired:
(a) an intangible asset that is not yet available for use; and
(b) an intangible asset that is amortized over a period exceeding ten years from the date when the asset is available for use.
If the carrying amount of the assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognized for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.
When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profi t and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets such reversal is not recognized.

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.
2.21 Insurance Claims

/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary
items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and othercharges to
expense or income (net of tax effect, if any) relating to the dilutive

shares considered for deriving basic earnings pershare and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than
unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realised. However, if
there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred
tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there
will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise the
assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items
relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the
Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their realisability.
1.19 Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
greaterof the net selling price and theirvalue in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
1.20 Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the
