Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments:
Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements only when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent liability and Contingent assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for. Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details.
Taxes:
Tax expense represents the sum of the current income tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax:
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted in India, at the reporting date. Interest expenses and penalties, if any, related to income tax are included in finance cost and other expenses respectively. Interest Income, if any, related to income tax is included in other income.
The Company periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amount and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax:
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. A deferred tax liability is recognised based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, to the extent it would be available for set off against future current income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised 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 the asset will be realised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when the Company has legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity. Non-current assets held for sale/ distribution to owners and discontinued operations
The Company classifies non-current assets (or disposal groups) as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Held for sale is classified only if the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to the terms that are usual and customary for sale for such assets (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable i.e. Management is committed to sale, which is expected to be completed within one year from date of classification.
Sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. Non-current assets (or disposal group) that is to be abandoned are not classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell except financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet.
The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of asset held for sale has been estimated using observable inputs.
Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are continue to be recognised.
Non-current asset (or disposal group) is reclassified from held to sale if the criteria are no longer met and measured at lower of:
[i] Its carrying amount before the asset (or Disposal group) was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortisation or revaluations that would have been recognised had the asset (or disposal group) not been classified as held for sale, and
[ii] Its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Any adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale is charged to profit or loss from continuing operations in the period in which criteria are no longer met.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed off, or is classified as held for sale, and:
[i] Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations
[ii] Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or
[iii] Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet 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:
[i] In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
[ii] In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market accessible by the Company for the asset or liability.
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.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
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:
[i] Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
[ii] Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
[iii] 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 at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers 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. The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties and unquoted financial assets, and significant liabilities, such as contingent consideration. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained.
At each reporting date, the Company analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company's accounting policies. For this analysis, the Company verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Company, in conjunction with the Company's external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Convertible Preference Shares/ Bonds [Liability]
Convertible Preference Shares/ Bonds are separated into liability and equity components based on the terms of the contract.
On issuance of the convertible Preference Shares/ Bonds, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption.
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised as equity. Transaction costs are
deducted from equity, net of associated income tax. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years.
Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the Preference Shares/ Bonds based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing adjusted net profit after tax by the aggregate of weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares during the year. Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise unrestricted cash at banks and on hand and unrestricted short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of unrestricted cash and short-term deposits.
Financial Assets
Initial Recognition & measurements
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value including transaction costs unless they are classified at fair value through profit and loss, in which case the transaction costs are expensed immediately. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured in accordance with their classification as set out below.
Subsequent measurement
Measurement of financial assets is done as below:
[i] Amortised cost, if the financial asset is held within a business model whose object is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding,
[ii] Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures
The Company has accounted for its investments in equity shares and compulsory convertible preference shares of subsidiaries, associates and joint venture at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any except when these investments are classified as held for sale. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
Other Equity Investments
All equity investments [other than investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures] are measured at fair value, with value changes recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
In case of funding to subsidiary companies in the form of interest free or concession loans and preference shares, the excess of the actual amount of the funding over initially measured fair value is accounted as an equity investment. De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily de-recognised when:
[i] The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
[ii] The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On derecognising of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with IND AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Model for measurement & recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets & credit risk exposure.
[i] Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost, e.g. loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance.
[ii] Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTPL.
[iii] Lease receivables under Ind AS 17.
[iv] Trade receivables
[v] Contract assets
[vi] Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL.
[vii] Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
[i] Trade receivables including contract assets; and
[ii] All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of Ind AS 17
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
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, 12-month 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 entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) is recognized during the period as income / expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Equity Instruments and Financial liabilities 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 which are issued for cash are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Equity instruments which are issued for consideration other than cash are recorded at fair value of the equity instrument.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition & measurement
All Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in case of loan & borrowings and payable, net-off directly attributable transaction cost.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss [FVTPL]
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings at amortised cost After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate [EIR] method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Where the terms of a financial liability is re-negotiated and the Company issues equity instruments to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss; measured as a difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of equity instrument issued.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
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 or loss.
Embedded derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract - with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative. An embedded derivative causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified according to a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices
or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss.
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109, the Company does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value though profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments.
Reclassification of financial assets
The Company reclassify all affected financial assets prospectively when, and only when Company changes its business model for managing financial assets but financial liability is not reclassified in any case.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Business Combination
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition accounting method as at the date of the acquisition, which is the date at which control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred in the acquisition and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised at fair values on their acquisition date. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, other than those incurred in relation to the issue of debt or equity securities. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Operating Segment
The Operating Segment is the level at which discrete financial information is available. The “Chief Operating Decision Maker” (CODM) allocates resources and assess performance at this level. The Company has identified the below operating segments:
1. Construction
2. Cement
3. Hotel / Hospitality & Golf Course
4. Real Estate
5. Power
6. Investments Exceptional items
An item of income or expense which by its size, type or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve an understanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and disclosed as such in the financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed are given here under. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.
(i) Carrying value of exposure in subsidiary and associate companies
Equity investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost. At each balance sheet date, the management assesses the indicators of impairment of such equity investments. This requires assessment of several external and internal factor which may affect the carrying value of equity investments in subsidiaries and associates. Similar assessment is carried for exposure of the nature of investment in preference shares, loans and other receivables from subsidiaries and associates. A degree of judgement is required in establishing recoverable amount. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as expected earnings in future years, liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of these investments.
(ii) Evaluation of indicator of impairment of assets
The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of assets.
(iii) Net realisable value of inventory and Inventory write down
The determination of net realisable value of inventory involves estimates based on prevailing market conditions, current prices and expected date of commencement and completion of the Real Estate project, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects, selling cost and other factors.
(iv) Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.
(v) Probable outcome of matters included under Contingent Liabilities
At each balance sheet date basis the management judgment, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Company assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding contingent liabilities. However the actual future outcome may be different from this judgment.
(vi) Estimation of Defined benefit obligation Management's estimate of the defined benefit obligation is based on a number of underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Valuation in these assumptions may significantly impact the defined benefit obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
(vii) Estimated useful life of PPE and intangible assets Useful lives of tangible and intangible assets are based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Act. In cases, where the useful lives are different from that prescribed in Schedule II of the Act, they are based on internal technical evaluation. Assumptions are also made, when the Company assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised. The estimation of residual value of assets is based on management's judgment about the condition of such asset at the point of sale of asset.
(viii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participates would price the instrument.
(ix) Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgment is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the Company's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Company reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Company estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow
the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.
(x) Contract estimates
The Company, being a part of construction industry, prepares estimates in respect of each project to compute project profitability. The two major components of contract estimate are ‘claims arising during construction period' (described below) and ‘estimated costs to complete the contract'. While estimating these components various assumptions are considered by the management such as (i) Work execution in the manner expected so that the project is completed timely (ii) consumption patterns
(iii) Assets utilisation (iv) wastage at normal level (v) no change in design and the geological factors will be same as communicated and (vi) price escalations etc. Due to such complexities involved in the estimate process, contract estimates are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.
(xi) Recoverability of claims
The Company has claims in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work etc., which are at various stages of negotiation / discussion with the clients or under arbitration. The realisability of these claims are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience with similar claims. Changes in facts of the case or the legal framework may impact realisability of these claims. The Company assesses the carrying value of various claims periodically and makes adjustments for amount arising from the legal/ arbitration proceedings/ negotiation with the clients that they may be involved in from time to time. Interest on claims being awarded on favourable arbitration / legal proceedings is recognised as interest income that reflects the consideration the Company has received or expects to receive.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTE No. “58”
Financial Risk Management
The Company's business activities are exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
The Company is undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) in accordance with the provisions of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) which may impact the risk disclosed below.
(a) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. The exposure of the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables, contract assets, cash and cash equivalents, investments, Loans and Other receivable. Trade receivables, Contract assets, Loans and Other receivables are typically unsecured.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts. The Company has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets. On account of the adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses Expected Credit Loss [ECL] model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the ECL allowance for trade receivables and contract assets. The
provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit ratings from credit rating agencies, financial conditions, ageing of accounts receivables and the Company's historical experience for customers.
The expected credit loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales and historical credit losses experienced. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Company monitors the credit exposure on other financial assets on case to case basis.
Security
For some trade receivables, the Company has obtained security deposits which can be called upon if the counterparty is in
default under the terms of the agreement.
Impairment of financial assets
The following financial assets are subject to the expected credit loss [ECL] model:
- trade receivables
- contract assets
- debt investments
- loans and other receivables carried at amortised cost
Credit Risk Exposure
The allowance for life time ECL on trade receivables, contract assets and receivable from related parties for the year ended 31st
March, 2025 is ' 11635 Lakhs [Previous year ' 3846 Lakhs (reversal)].
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and bank balances is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with bank. Investments primarily include investments in quoted and unquoted equity shares, preference shares and quoted bonds. Credit risk on investments measured at amortised cost is considered to be negligible credit risk investment. The Company considers the instruments to be negligible credit risk when they have no risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term.
[b] Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due.
[i] Liquidity Risk Management
The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, debentures, bonds and lease arrangements. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.
The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet operational needs. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required) and any excess is invested in interest bearing term deposits and other highly marketable debt investments with appropriate maturities to optimise the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
[c] Market Risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
[i] Foreign Currency Risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency borrowings [ECB]. Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency (INR).
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company's risk management committee is responsible to frame, implement and monitor the risk management plan of the Company. The committee carry out risk assessment with regard to foreign exchange variances and suggests risk minimization procedures and implement the same.
Foreign Currency Risk Exposure
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR are as follows:
[ii] Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company's main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rate.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company's risk management committee ensures all the current and future material risk exposures are identified, assessed, quantified, appropriately mitigated, minimised, managed and critical risks when impact the achievement of the Company's objective or threatens its existence are periodically reviewed.
NOTE No. “59”

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants.
