2.2.16 Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions recognised by the Company include provisions for Maintenance, Demobilisation, Legal Cases, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Onerous Contracts and others.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬ tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
These provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Onerous contracts
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision. However, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets dedicated to that contract.
These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation or present obligations that may but probably will not, require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are not recognised though are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.2.17 Leases
If the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration, it is treated as lease.
a) Company as a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short¬ term leases) and leases for low value underlying assets.
i) Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is re-measured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company's lease liabilities are included in financial liabilities.
iii) Short term lease and leases of low value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term lease contracts including lease of residential premises and offices (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
b) Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
2.2.18 Financial instruments
The Company recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
a) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets (excluding trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component, being measured at transaction price) are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial asset. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are expensed in statement of profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in below categories based on the Company's business model and the cash flow characteristics of the asset:
• Financial assets at amortised cost
After initial measurement, the financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows
where those cash flow represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cashflows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost or financial assets measured at FVTOCI.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and
• All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of Ind AS 116
Under simplified approach, impairment loss allowance is recognised based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
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.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss.
The balance sheet presentation of impairment for various financial instruments is described below:
• Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance. The impairment 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.
• Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet i.e., as a liability.
• Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: For debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, the expected credit losses do not reduce the carrying amount in the balance sheet, which remains at fair value. Instead, an amount equal to the allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income as the ‘accumulated impairment amount'.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.
The difference between the carrying amount and the amount of consideration received / receivable is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
b) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities includes trade payables, borrowings and other financial liabilities etc.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The company has not designated any financial liabilities at FVTPL.
• Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities
After initial recognition, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. 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.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
c) 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.
d) 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 contractual 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.
2.2.19 Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each reporting period.
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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy and are disclosed accordingly in the financial statements.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and liabilities, if any. 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.
2.2.20 Earnings per Share
In determining basic earnings per share, the company considers the net profit attributable to equity shareholders. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
In determining diluted earnings per share, the net profit attributable to equity shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares. The Company does not have any dilutive potential equity shares.
2.2.21 Non - current asset held for sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. The sale is considered highly probable only when the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, it is unlikely that the sale will be withdrawn, and sale is expected within one year from the date of the classification. Disposal groups classified as held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale/distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet.
If the criteria stated by IND AS 105 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale" are no longer met, the disposal group ceases to be classified as held for sale. Non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognised had that asset not been classified as held for sale, and (ii) its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group ceases to be classified as held for sale. The depreciation reversal adjustment related property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets is charged to statement of profit and loss in the period when non-current assets held for sale criteria are no longer met.
2.2.22 Prior Period Adjustment
Errors/omissions discovered in the current year relating to prior periods are treated as immaterial and adjusted during the current year, if all such errors and omissions in aggregate do not exceed 0.50% of total operating revenue as per last audited financial statement of the Company.
2.2.23 Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of Standalone Financial Statements requires the management to make judgements, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
This policy provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed.
Significant areas of estimation and judgements as stated in the respective accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the financial statements are as follows:
Allowances for uncollected trade receivables
Trade receivables do not carry interest and are stated at their nominal values as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amount are based on ageing of the receivable balances and historical experiences. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems not to be collectible.
Defined benefit plans
The costs of post-retirement benefit obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. 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.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. There are certain obligations which managements have concluded based on all available facts and circumstances are not probable of payment or difficult to quantify reliably and such obligations are treated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in notes.
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provision for financial assets is 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.
Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the nature of business differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the
conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.
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 together with future tax planning strategies.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Determining the recoverable amount of the assets is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and do not reflect unanticipated events and circumstances that may occur.
Non-current asset held for sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. The sale is considered highly probable only when the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, it is unlikely that the sale will be withdrawn, and sale is expected within one year from the date of the classification.
Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Company as lessee
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policy is central to how the Company values the work it has carried out in each financial year.
These policies require forecasts to be made of the outcomes of Contracts, which require, assessments and judgements to be made on changes in scope of work and claims and variations.
There are several long term and complex projects where the Company has incorporated significant judgements over contractual entitlements. The range of potential outcomes could result in a materially positive or negative change to underlying profitability and cash flow.
Estimates are also required with respect to the below mentioned aspects of the contract:
• Determination of stage of completion
• Estimation of project completion date
• Provisions for foreseeable losses
• Estimated total revenues and estimated total costs to completion, including claims and variations.
These are reviewed at each reporting date and adjust to reflect the current best estimates.

31 A. Fair Value Measurements
(i) Category wise classification of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value in these financial statement and are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The fair value of investments in mutual fund units is based on the Net Asset Value (‘NAV') as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors
ii) Investment in subsidiaries and joint ventures are classified as equity investments which have been accounted at historical cost. Since these are out of scope of Ind AS 109 for the purposes of measurement, the same have not been disclosed in the tables above.
* During the financial year 2025-26 and 2024-25, there were no transfer between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.

The Company's activities expose it to some of the financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
a) Market Risk

Market risk comprises Foreign currency risk and Interest rate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings, trade receivables, trade payable and other non derivative financial instruments.
(i) Foreign Currency Risk

As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, every 5% increase or decrease of the respective foreign currency would impact our profit before tax by approximately ? 2.22 crore and ? 28.96 crore respectively.
The Company's significant exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of reporting period are as follows:
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of change in market interest rate. The company is exposed to interest rate risk arising mainly from current borrowing with floating interest rate. The company manages its interest risk in accordance with the companies policies and risk objective. Financial instruments affected by interest rate risk includes tax free bonds, Govt. Securities and deposits with banks. Interest rate risk on these financial instruments are very low as interest rate is fixed for the period of financial instruments.
(ii) Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 0.50% interest rate across all yield curves while all other variables held constant. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.
b) Credit Risk
The Company's customer profile include Ministry of Railways, Public Sector Enterprises, State Owned Companies in India and abroad. Accordingly, the Company's customer credit risk is low. The Company's average project execution cycle is around 24 to 36 months. General payment terms include mobilisation advance, monthly progress payments with a credit period ranging from 45 to 60 days and certain retention money to be released at the end of the project. In some cases retentions are substituted with bank / corporate guarantees. The Company has a detailed review mechanism of overdue customer receivables at various levels within organisation to ensure proper attention and focus for realisation.
The Company is exposed to credit risk for guarantees given. The Company's maximum exposure in this respect is the maximum amount the Company may have to pay if the guarantee is called on (see Note 37). Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the Company considers that it is more likely that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.
Trade and other receivable
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
c) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and by having access to funding through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. The treasury department regularly monitors the position of Cash and Cash Equivalents vis-a-vis projections. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.
The Company's investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Company's liquidity requirements. The senior Management of the Company oversees its investment strategy and achieve its investment objectives. The Company typically invests in government of India debt bonds and mutual funds. The policy requires investments generally to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimising the potential risk of principal loss.
The NHAI bonds bear a fixed rate of interest thus they are not affected by the change in bond yield rates and the mutual funds are highly liquid assets which are paid out monthly and re-invested.
d) Excessive risk concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company's performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Company's policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on the maintenance of a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.
