xviii) Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets

a) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the
Company has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) where, as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made to
the amount of the obligation. When the
Company expects some or all of a provision
to be reimbursed, the reimbursement
is recognised as a separate asset, but
only when the reimbursement is virtually
certain. The expense relating to a provision
is presented in the statement of profit and
loss, net of any reimbursement.

I f the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using
a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risk specific to the liability.
when discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as a finance cost.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting
date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate. If it is no longer probable
that an outflow of resources embodying

economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation, the provision is reversed.

b) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation
that arises from past events whose existence
will be confirmed by the occurence or
non occurence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of the
Company or a present obligation which is
not recognized because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle the obligation. A contingent liability
also arises in extremely rare cases where
there is a liability that cannot be recognized
because it cannot be measured reliably.
Information on contingent liabilities is
disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements, unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that
arises from past events and whose existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control
of the Company. Contingent asset is not
recognized, but its existence is disclosed in
the financial statements.

xix) Investments in subsidiaries and associates

The Company has accounted for its investments
in subsidiaries and associates at cost.

xx) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives
rise to a financial asset of one entity and a
financial liability or equity instrument of another
entity.

A. Financial assets

a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when
the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the
instrument. The Company determines
the classification of its financial assets
at initial recognition. All financial assets
are recognized initially at fair value
plus transaction costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition of the
financial asset except for financial
assets classified as fair value through
profit or loss.

b) Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent
measurement, financial assets are
classified in four categories:

i) Debt instruments measured at
amortised cost

ii) Debt instruments measured
at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

iii) Debt instruments measured at
fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL)

iv) Equity instruments measured at
FVTOCI or FVTPL

Debt instruments

The subsequent measurement of
debt instruments depends on their
classification. The classification
depends on the Company''s business
model for managing the financial assets
and the contractual terms of the cash
flows.

i) Debt instruments measured at
amortised cost

Debt instruments that are held
for collection of contractual
cash flows where those cash
flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest are
measured at amortised cost.
A gain or loss on a debt investment
that is subsequently measured at
amortised cost and is not part of a
hedging relationship is recognised
in the statement of profit and loss
when the asset is derecognised
or impaired. Interest income
from these financial assets is
disclosed as interest income in the
statement of profit and loss using
the effective interest rate method.

ii) Debt instruments measured at
FVTOCI

Debt instruments that are held
for collection of contractual cash
flows and for selling the financial
assets, where the assets cash
flows represent solely payment of
principal and interest, are measured
at FVTOCI. Movements in the
carrying amount are taken through
OCI, except for the recognition
of impairment gains or losses
and interest income which are
recognised in statement of profit
and loss. When the financial asset
is derecognised, the cumulative
gain or loss previously recognised
in the OCI is reclassified from
equity to statement of profit and
loss. Interest income from these
financial assets is disclosed as
interest income in the statement of
profit and loss using the effective
interest rate method.

iii) Debt instruments measured at
FVTPL

Debt instruments that do not
meet the criteria for amortised
cost or FVTOCI are measured at
fair value through profit or loss.
Debt instruments which are held
for trading are classified as FVTPL.
A gain or loss on a debt investment
that is subsequently measured
at fair value through profit or
loss and is not part of a hedging
relationship is recognised and
presented net in the statement
of profit and loss in the period in
which it arises. Interest income
from these financial assets is
included in other income.

iv) Equity instruments (other than
investment in subsidiaries and
associates - Refer note "xix"
above)

All equity investments in scope of
Ind AS 109 are measured at fair
value. Equity instruments which
are held for trading are classified
as FVTPL. The Company may
make an irrevocable election to

present in other comprehensive
income subsequent changes
in the fair value. The Company
makes such election on an
instrument-by-instrument basis.
The classification is made on initial
recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify
an equity instrument as at FVTOCI,
then all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends,
are recognized in the OCI. There is
no recycling of the amounts from
OCI to the statement of profit and
loss, even on sale of investment.
However, the Company may
transfer the cumulative gain or
loss within equity.

Equity instruments included within
the FVTPL category are measured
at fair value with all changes
recognized in the statement of
profit and loss.

B. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only
when

i) The Company has transferred the rights
to receive cash flows from the financial
asset or

ii) retains the contractual rights to receive
the cash flows of the financial asset,
but assumes a contractual obligation
to pay the cash flows to one or more
recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an
asset, the Company evaluates whether
it has transferred substantially all risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset. In such cases, the financial asset
is derecognised. Where the entity has
not transferred substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset,
the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred
a financial asset nor retains substantially
all risks and rewards of ownership of
the financial asset, the financial asset
is derecognised if the Company has not

retained control of the financial asset.
Where the Company retains control of the
financial asset, the asset is continued to
be recognised to the extent of continuing
involvement in the financial asset.

C. Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each date of
balance sheet whether a financial asset
or a group of financial assets is impaired.
Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses
to be measured through a loss allowance.
The Company recognises lifetime expected
losses for all trade receivables and/or
contract assets that do not constitute a
financing transaction. For all other financial
assets, expected credit losses are measured
at an amount equal to the 12 month expected
credit losses or at an amount equal to the
lifetime expected credit losses if the credit
risk on the financial assets has increased
significantly since initial recognition.

D. Financial liabilities

a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognised
when the Company becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. The Company determines
the classification of its financial liability
at initial recognition. All financial
liabilities are recognised initially at fair
value plus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition
of the financial liability except for
financial liabilities classified as fair
value through profit or loss.

b) Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent
measurement, financial liabilities are
classified in two categories:

i) Financial liabilities measured at
amortised cost

ii) Financial liabilities measured at
FVTPL (fair value through profit or
loss)

i) Financial liabilities measured at
amortised cost

After initial recognition, financial
liabilities are subsequently

measured at amortized cost using
the Effective Interest Rate (''EIR'')
method. Gains and losses are
recognised in the statement of
profit and loss when the liabilities
are derecognised as well as
through the EIR amortization
process. Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account
any discount or premium on
acquisition and fee or costs that
are an integral part of the EIR.
The EIR amortisation is included
in finance costs in the statement
of profit and loss.

ii) Financial liabilities measured at
fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL)

Financial liabilities at FVTPL
include financial liabilities held
for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition
as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities
are classified as held for trading if
they are incurred for the purpose
of repurchasing in the near term.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are
carried in the statement of profit
and loss at fair value with changes
in fair value recognized in the
statement of profit and loss.

c) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised
when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is
replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as
the derecognition of the original liability
and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.

E. Derivatives

The Company uses interest rate swaps
to hedge its variability in cash flows from
interest payments arising from floating
rate liabilities i.e. when interests are paid

according to benchmark market interest
rates. Derivatives are initially measured at
fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition,
derivatives are measured at fair value, and
changes therein are generally recognised in
the statement of profit and loss.

xxi) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments,
such as, investment in debt and equity
instruments at fair value at each reporting date.

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. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:

• in the principal market for the asset or
liability, or

• in the absence of a principal market, in the
most advantageous market for the asset or
liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market
must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value,
maximising the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is
measured or disclosed in the financial statements
are categorised within the fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market
prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant to

the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in
the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Company determines whether transfers, if any,
have occurred between levels in the hierarchy
by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole) at the end of
each reporting period.

xxii) Business combination under common
control

Business combinations involving entities
or businesses under common control are
accounted for using the pooling of interest
method. Under pooling of interest method, the
assets and liabilities of the combining entities
or businesses are reflected at their carrying
amounts after making adjustments necessary to
harmonise the accounting policies. The financial
information in the financial statements in respect
of prior periods is restated as if the business
combination had occurred from the beginning of
the preceding period in the financial statements,
irrespective of the actual date of the combination.
The identity of the reserves is preserved in the
same form in which they appeared in the financial
statements of the transferor and the difference,
if any, between the amount recorded as share
capital issued plus any additional consideration in
the form of cash or other assets and the amount
of share capital of the transferor is transferred to
capital reserve.

xxiii) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided
to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODM'')
who regularly monitors and reviews the operating
results. Refer note 51 for segment information.

3(B) SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND
ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements requires
management to exercise judgment in applying the
Company''s accounting policies. It also requires the
use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and

expenses and the accompanying disclosures including
disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results
may differ from these estimates. Estimates and
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis, with revisions recognised in the period in which
the estimates are revised and in any future periods
affected.

a) Contract estimates

The percentage-of-completion method
places considerable importance on accurate
estimates of the extent of progress towards
completion and may involve estimates on the
scope of deliveries and services required for
fulfilling the contractually defined obligations.
These significant estimates include total contract
costs, total contract revenue, contract risks,
including technical, political and regulatory risks,
and other judgement. The Company reassesses
these estimates on periodic basis and makes
appropriate revisions accordingly.

Before including any amount of variable
consideration in the transaction price, the
Company considers whether the amount
of variable consideration is constrained.
The Company determined that the estimates of
variable consideration are not constrained based
on its historical experience, business forecast
and the current economic conditions. In addition,
the uncertainty on the variable consideration will
be resolved within a short time frame.

b) Allowance for uncollectible trade
receivables

Trade receivables do not carry interest and
are stated at their nominal values as reduced
by appropriate allowances for estimated
irrecoverable amounts. Estimated irrecoverable
amounts are based on the ageing of the
receivable balances and historical experiences.
Individual trade receivables are written off when
management deems them not be collectible.

c) Provision for employee benefits

The cost of post-employment and other long
term benefits is determined using actuarial
valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making
various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include
determination of discount rates, expected rate
of return on assets, 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 assumptions used
are disclosed in note 53.

d) Contingencies and commitments

In the normal course of business, contingent
liabilities may arise from litigation and other
claims against the Company. Potential liabilities
that have a low probability of crystallising or are
very difficult to quantify reliably, are treated as
contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed
in the notes to the financial statements, if any, but
are not provided for in the financial statements.
There can be no assurance regarding the final
outcome of these legal proceedings.

e) Impairment testing

i) Impairment of non-financial assets

I mpairment exists when the carrying value
of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU)
exceeds its recoverable amount, which
is the higher of its fair value less costs
of disposal and its value in use. The fair
value less costs of disposal calculation is
based on available data from binding sales
transactions, conducted at arm''s length, for
similar assets or observable market prices
less incremental costs for disposing of
the asset. The value in use calculation is
based on a DCF model. The cash flows are
derived from the budget for the future years
and do not include restructuring activities
that the Company is not yet committed to
or significant future investments that will
enhance the asset''s performance of the
CGU being tested. The recoverable amount
is sensitive to the discount rate used for the
DCF model as well as the expected future
cash-inflows and the growth rate.

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial
assets disclosed are based on assumptions
about risk of default and expected loss
rates. The Company uses judgement in
making these assumptions and selecting the
inputs to the impairment calculation, based
on the Company''s past history, existing
market conditions as well as forward looking
estimates at the end of each reporting
period.

f) Taxes

The Company periodically assesses its liabilities
and contingencies related to income taxes
for all years open to scrutiny based on latest
information available. The Company records its
best estimates of the tax liability in the current
tax provision. The management believes that
they have adequately provided for the probable
outcome of these matters.

I n determining the recoverability of deferred
income tax assets, the Company primarily
considers current and expected profitability of
applicable operating business segments and
their ability to utilise any recorded tax assets.
The Company reviews its deferred income tax
assets at every reporting year / period end, taking
into consideration the availability of sufficient
current and projected taxable profits, reversals of
taxable temporary differences and tax planning
strategies.

g) Fair value measurement

The fair value of financial instruments that are not
traded in an active market is determined using
valuation techniques. In applying the valuation
techniques, management makes maximum
use of market inputs and uses estimates
and assumptions that are, as far as possible,
consistent with observable data that market
participants would use in pricing the instrument.
Where applicable data is not observable,
management uses its best estimate about the
assumptions that market participants would
make. These estimates may vary from the actual
prices that would be achieved in an arm''s length
transaction at the reporting date. For details of
the key assumptions used and the impact of
changes to these assumptions (Refer note 41).

h) Share based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment
requires determination of the most appropriate
valuation model. The estimate also requires
determination of the most appropriate inputs
to the valuation model including the expected
life of the option, volatility and dividend

yield and making assumptions about them.
The assumptions and models used for estimating
fair value for share-based payment transactions
are disclosed in note 50.

i) Leases

The Company evaluates if an arrangement
qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements
of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires
significant judgement. The Company uses
significant judgement in assessing the lease
term (including anticipated renewals) and the
applicable discount rate.

The Company determines the lease term as the
non-cancellable period of a lease, together with
both periods covered by an option to extend the
lease if the Company is reasonably certain to
exercise that option; and periods covered by an
option to terminate the lease if the Company is
reasonably certain not to exercise that option.
In assessing whether the Company is reasonably
certain to exercise an option to extend a lease,
or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease,
it considers all relevant facts and circumstances
that create an economic incentive for the
Company to exercise the option to extend the
lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate
the lease. The Company revises the lease term
if there is a change in the non-cancellable period
of a lease. The discount rate is generally based
on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the
lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases
with similar characteristics.

3(C) RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new
standards or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules
as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31
March 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance
Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases,
relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable
to the Company w.e.f. 1 April 2024. The Company has
reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its
evaluation has determined that it does not have any
significant impact in its financial statements.


Mar 31, 2024

xviii) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

a) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or

constructive) where, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made to the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

I f the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. when discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

b) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurence or non occurence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation which is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. Information on contingent liabilities is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent asset is not

recognized, but its existence is disclosed in the financial statements.

xix) Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture companies

The Company has accounted for its investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture companies at cost.

xx) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

A. Financial assets

a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset except for financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss.

b) Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

i) Debt instruments measured at amortised cost

ii) Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

iii) Debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

iv) Equity instruments measured at FVTOCI or FVTPL

Debt instruments

The subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on their classification. The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

i) Debt instruments measured at amortised cost

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is disclosed as interest income in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest rate method.

ii) Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payment of principal and interest, are measured at FVTOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest income which are recognised in statement of profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the OCI is reclassified from equity to statement of profit and loss. Interest income from these financial assets is disclosed as interest income in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest rate method.

iii) Debt instruments measured at FVTPL

Debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments which are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised and presented net in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

iv) Equity instruments (other than investment in associates, joint venture companies and subsidiaries - Refer note "xix" above)

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. The Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

B. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

i) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

ii) retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

C. Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following:

i) Financial assets measured at amortised cost

ii) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to

i) the twelve months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within twelve after the reporting date) or

ii) full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument)

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, twelve months ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on twelve months ECL.

D. Financial liabilities

a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial liability at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial liability except for financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss.

b) Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:

i) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

ii) Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL (fair value through profit or loss)

i) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

After initial recognition, financial liability are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

ii) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are carried in the statement of profit and

loss at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

c) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

E. Derivatives

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its variability in cash flows from interest payments arising from floating rate liabilities i.e. when interests are paid according to benchmark market interest rates. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

xxi) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, investment in debt and equity instruments at fair value at each reporting date.

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• in the principal market for the asset or liability, or

• in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers, if any, have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

xxii)Treasury Shares

The Company has created an Welspun Enterprises Employees Welfare Trust (''EWT''). The Company uses EWT as a vehicle for distributing shares to employees under the employee stock option schemes. The Company treats EWT as its extension and shares held by EWT are treated as treasury shares.

Own equity instruments that are held by the trust are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company''s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and

about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

e) Taxes

The Company periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies related to income taxes for all years open to scrutiny based on latest information available. The Company records its best estimates of the tax liability in the current tax provision. The management believes that they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.

f) Fair value measurement

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm''s length transaction at the reporting date. For details of the key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions (Refer note 40).

g) Share based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment requires determination of the most appropriate

the consideration, if reissued, is recognised in the other equity.

xxii) Business combination under common control

Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest method, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities or businesses are reflected at their carrying amounts after making adjustments necessary to harmonise the accounting policies. The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. The identity of the reserves is preserved in the same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the transferor and the difference, if any, between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve.

3(B)SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company''s accounting policies. It also requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the accompanying disclosures including disclosure of contingent liabilities . Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

a) Contract estimates

The Company prepares budgets in repect of each EPC projects to compute project profitability and construction revenue under percentage of completion method. The major component of contract estimate is budgeted cost to complete the contract. Due to complexities involved in the budgeting process, contract estimates are sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Budgeted costs are reviewed at each reporting date.

b) Provision for employee benefits

The cost of post-employment and other long term benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include determination of discount rates, expected rate of return on assets, 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 assumptions used are disclosed in note 52.

c) Contingencies and commitments

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that have a low probability of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably, are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes, if any, but are not provided for in the financial statements. There can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of these legal proceedings.

d) Impairment testing

i) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm''s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the future years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset''s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate.

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed are based on assumptions

valuation model. The estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in note 49.

h) Leases

The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgement. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease. The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

3 (C) RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31 March 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

Fair value hierarchy

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Fair value of the cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.

Valuation techniques used to determine fair value

a) Investments included in Level 1 of fair value hierarchy are based on prices quoted in stock exchange and/ or NAV declared by the funds.

b) Investments included in Level 2 of fair value hierarchy have been valued based on inputs from banks and other recognised institutions such as FIMMDA/ FEDAI.

c) Investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using acceptable valuation techniques such as Net Asset Value and/ or Discounted Cash Flow Method.

Note : All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the Fair Value Hierarchy described as above, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

The carrying amounts of loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets, non-current and current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities that are measured at amortised cost are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value due to short-term maturities of these financial assets/ liabilities.

M FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company''s financial risk management policy is set by the Managing Board. The Company is exposed to market risk - foreign currency and interest rate, credit risk and liquidity risk.

A Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize Company''s position with regard to interest income and interest expenses and manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instrument in its total portfolio.

(i) Interest rate risk exposure

The Company enters into interest rate swaps (''IRS'') to manage exposure on its fixed rate or variable rate debt.

As at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023, underlying exposure to IRS was ''300.00 crores and ''300.00 crores respectively which was subject to variable interest rates.

The gain/(loss) due to fluctuation in fair value of IRS, recognised in the statement of profit and loss was ''3.78 crores and ''(4.47) crores for the year ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 respectively.

Interest rate sensitivity :

Increase/decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates at the balance sheet date would result in an impact (decrease/increase of profit before tax) of ''0.97 crores and ''2.21 crores for the year ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 respectively.

b) Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation, financial strength / rating and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.

C Liquidity risk

a) Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company''s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s net liquidity position through rolling forcasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

b) Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on the contractual undiscounted payments.

b) Foreign currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows fluctuate because of changes in market prices of various currencies against the functional currency. However, the Company is currently not exposed to foreign currency risk.

B Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

a) Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from some of its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

42 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

For the purpose of Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital and other equity reserves attributable to the shareholders. The primary objective of the Company''s Capital Management is to maximize shareholders value. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial covenants, if any.

The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt - interest bearing borrowings less cash and cash equivalents (excluding earmarked cash and cash equivalents balances) and current investments.

The Company is providing corporate guarantee for any shortfall in amount received from the client against the debt obligation of its subsidiaries and joint venture entities. The same has been disclosed as contingent liabilities above in line with Ind AS requirements.

Fair value hierarchy

T he fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Fair value of the cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value

a) Investments included in Level 1 of fair value hierarchy are based on prices quoted in stock exchange and/ or NAV declared by the funds.

b) Investments included in Level 2 of fair value hierarchy have been valued based on inputs from banks and other recognised institutions such as FIMMDA/ FEDAI

c) Investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using acceptable valuation techniques such as Net Asset Value and/ or Discounted Cash Flow Method.

N ote: All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the Fair Value Hierarchy described as above, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

N he carrying amounts of loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, Other bank balances, other financial assets, non-current and current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities that are measured at amortised cost are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value due to short-term maturities of these financial assets/ liabilities

42 Financial risk management

Nhe Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company''s financial risk management policy is set by the Managing Board. The Company is exposed to market risk - foreign currency and interest rate, credit risk and liquidity risk.

A Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.

a) Interest rate risk

I nterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize Company''s position with regard to interest income and interest expenses and manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instrument in its total portfolio.

As at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, underlying exposure to IRS was '' 300.00 crores and '' 300.00 crores respectively which was subject to variable interest rates.

The gain/(loss) due to fluctuation in fair value of IRS, recognised in the statement of profit and loss was '' (4.47) crores and '' (2.28) crores for the year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively.

Interest rate sensitivity:

Increase/decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates at the balance sheet date would result in an impact (decrease/increase of profit before tax) of '' 2.21 crores and '' 3.45 crores for the year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively. .

B Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

a) Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from some of its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

b) Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation, financial strength / rating and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.

C Liquidity risk

a) Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company''s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s net liquidity position through rolling forcasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

43 Capital Management

For the purpose of Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital and other equity reserves attributable to the shareholders. The primary objective of the Company''s Capital Management is to maximize shareholders value. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial covenants, if any.

The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt - interest bearing borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents and current investments

a) The amount represents the best possible estimate arrived at on the basis of available information. The Company has engaged reputed professionals to protect its interest and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes.

b) The Company has received legal notices of claims / lawsuits filed against it relating to other matters. In the opinion of the management, no material liability is likely to arise on account of such claims/ law suits.

1 Corporate information

Welspun Enterprises Limited (‘WEL’ or ‘the Company’) is a public limited company incorporated in India. Its shares are publicly traded on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India. The Company is engaged in infrastructure development (Engineering, Procurement and Construction (‘EPC’) and Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis) and trading activities. It is also engaged in carrying out Operation and Maintenance (“O&M”) activities for the transportation sector projects.

The separate financial statements (hereinafter referred to as “Financial Statements”) of the Company for the financial year 2017-18 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of board of directors on 10 May 2018.

2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards Rules, 2015 (As amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act and rules framed thereunder and guidelines issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on accrual basis, except for the following:

a) Certain financial assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value (Refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments).

b) Assets held for sale -measured at fair value less cost to sell

c) Defined benefit plan assets and liabilities

d) Share based payments

The financial statements are presented in Rs in lakhs, except when otherwise indicated.

3(A) Significant estimates, judgements and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires management to exercise judgment in applying the

Company’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the accompanying disclosures including disclosure of contingent liabilities . Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

a) Contract estimates

The Company prepares budgets in repect of each EPC projects to compute project profitability and construction revenue under percentage of completion method. The major component of contract estimate is budgeted cost to complete the contract. Due to complexities involved in the budgeting process, contract estimates are sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Budgeted costs are reviewed at each reporting date.

b) Provision for employee benefits

The cost of post-employment and other long term benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include determination of discount rates, expected rate of return on assets, 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 assumptions used are disclosed in note 46.

c) Contingencies and commitments

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that have a low probability of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably, are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes, if any, but are not provided for in the financial statements. There can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of these legal proceedings.

d) Impairment testing

i) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the future years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate.

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

e) Taxes

The Company periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies related to income taxes for all years open to scrutiny based on latest information available. The Company records its best estimates of the tax liability in the current tax provision. The management believes that they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.”

f) Fair value measurement

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date. For details of the key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions (Refer note 37).

g) Share based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model. The estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in note 42.

3 (B) Standards issued but not yet effective

The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further this standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.

b) Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”

The amendment considers that tax law determines which deductions are offset against taxable income and that no deferred tax asset is recognised if the reversal of the deductible temporary difference will not lead to tax deductions.

Accordingly, segregating deductible temporary differences in accordance with tax law and assessing them on entity basis or on the basis of type of income is necessary to determine whether taxable profits are sufficient to utilise deductible temporary differences.

The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements of these amendments and its effect on the financial statements.

Fair value hierarchy

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1 Fair value of the cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.

2 Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value

a) Investments included in Level 1 of fair value hierarchy are based on prices quoted in stock exchange and/ or NAV declared by the funds.

b) Investments included in Level 2 of fair value hierarchy have been valued based on inputs from banks and other recognised institutions such as FIMMDA/ FEDAI

c) Investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using acceptable valuation techniques such as Net Asset Value and/ or Discounted Cash Flow Method.

Note : All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the Fair Value Hierarchy described as above, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

The carrying amounts of loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, Other bank balances, other financial assets, non-current and current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities that are measured at amortised cost are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value due to short-term maturities of these financial assets/ liabilities

4 Financial risk management

The Company’s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company’s financial risk management policy is set by the Managing Board. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

A Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize Company’s position with regard to interest income and interest expenses and manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instrument in its total portfolio.

(ii) Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact of change in interest rate of borrowings, as follows:

b) Foreign currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows fluctuate because of changes in market prices of various currencies against the functional currency. However the Company is currently not exposed to foreign currency risk.

B Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

a) Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from some of its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

b) Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation, financial strength / rating and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.

C Liquidity risk

a) Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company’s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forcasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

b) Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on the contractual undiscounted payments.

5 Capital Management

For the purpose of Company’s capital management, capital includes issued capital and other equity reserves attributable to the shareholders. The primary objective of the Company’s Capital Management is to maximize shareholders value. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial covenants, if any.

The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

Mar 31, 2017

1 FVTPL financial assets

Under the previous GAAP, investments in equity instruments were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and reliability. Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2016. This resulted in decrease in noncurrent investments by Rs. 4,773 lakhs as at March 31, 2016 (April 1 2015: Rs. 4,773 lakhs) and increase in current investments by Rs. 1,624 lakhs as at March 31, 2016 and decrease of retained earnings by Rs.3,150 lakhs as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015: Rs. 4,773 lakhs)

Under the previous GAAP, the Company accounted for investments in debt securities and mutual funds (current investments) as investments measured at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are mandatorily classified as debt investments measured at FVTPL as these investments are held for trading. Ind AS requires FVTPL debt instruments to be measured at fair value. At the date of transition to Ind AS, difference between the instruments fair value and previous GAAP carrying amount has been recognized in retained earnings. This resulted in increase in current investments by Rs. 301 lakhs as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 : Rs 109 lakhs) and corresponding increase in retained earnings by equivalent amounts.

2 Security deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits given (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease term) were recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued lease security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposits has been recognized as deferred lease revenue. Consequent to this change, security deposits decreased by Rs. 0.80 lakhs as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015: Rs. 2 lakhs) and deferred lease revenue increased by Rs. 0.76 lakhs as at March 2016 (April 1, 2015: Rs. 2 lakhs). The profit for the year ended on March 31, 2016 decreased by Rs. 0.05 lakhs due to recognition of deferred lease revenue over the lease term amounting to Rs. 2 lakhs which is partially offset by notional interest expense of Rs. 2 lakhs recognized on security deposits.

3 Share based payments

Under the previous GAAP, the cost of stock options granted pursuant to the Company''s stock option scheme was the intrinsic value of the options granted as at the date of the grant which was amortized on straight line basis over the vesting period in accordance with the SEBI Guidelines 1999. Under Ind AS the cost of share based payments is recognized based on the fair value of the options as at the grant date. Consequently, the amount recognized in employee stock options outstanding account increased by Rs. 10 lakhs as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015: Rs. 0.56 lakhs). The proft for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs 6 lakhs. There is no impact on total equity.

4 Other comprehensive income

Under previous GAAP, the Company was not required to present other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled profit or loss as per Indian GAAP to profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, Ind AS profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

5 Remeasurement of post employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e.actuarial gains and losses on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit and loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurement were forming part of the profit and loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs. 2 lakhs (net of deferred tax of Rs. 1 lakhs). There is no impact on the total equity as at March 31, 2016.

6 Assets held-for-sale

The Company intends to dispose off the construction equipments as it is not intended to be utilized for business purpose in future. Construction equipments has been depreciated till March 31, 2015 and thereafter classified as Assets included in disposal group classified as held for sale with no depreciation charged from 1 April 2015. Under the previous GAAP, the carrying value of the construction equipments were shown under Property, plant and equipment. Further refer note 64 for adjustment made for the year ended March 31, 2016.

7 Loans given

Under Ind AS, loans given are valued at present value as compared to being carried at cost in the previous GAAP. This adjustment includes the difference between the book value and the present value of interest free loan given to a subsidiary, which is treated as investment in that subsidiary. The interest on the present value of this loan is recognized over the tenure of the loan using the EIR method.

8 Expected credit loss (''ECL'')

As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognizing the allowance for doubtful debts. As a result, the Company has recognized, difference between loan balance (net of ECL loss) receivable and present value of recoverable amount of receivable, into retained earnings as at April 1, 2015 which resulted in decrease in equity by Rs. 395 lakhs. Further, the Company has recognized additional ECL loss of Rs. 1,108 lakhs during year ended March 31, 2016 which resulted in decrease in profit and equity by Rs. 1,108 lakhs.

9 Tax adjustments

Tax adjustments include deferred tax impact on account of difference between previous GAAP and Ind AS.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. Fair value of the cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.

2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

The carrying amounts of loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, Other bank balances, other financial assets, noncurrent and current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value due to short-term maturities of these financial assets/ liabilities.

10 Financial risk management

The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company''s financial risk management policy is set by the Managing Board. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

A. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of postemployment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize Company''s position with regard to interest income and interest expenses and manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instrument in its total portfolio.

Foreign currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows fluctuate because of changes in market prices of various currencies against the functional currency. However the Company is currently not exposed to foreign currency risk.

B. Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from some of its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation, financial strength / rating and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.

C. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company''s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
