A Digital-first A roach to Lo istics pp g

Integrating digital tools and technology across various operations and processes has the potential to fundamentally transform the business and its customer experience.

At Allcargo Group, adopting software and tools that streamline operations and bring in more efficiency is just one part of the digitalization effort.

Another significant aspect of digitalization is to mine into the vast amount of data that logistics operations generate, and cull out actionable insights to make informed decisions in the interest of the business and its stakeholders.

Further, in keeping with the importance of data and cyber security, an organization-wide transformation has been implemented to ensure adherence to the highest security standards. The security posture is strengthened by strict implementation of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and there is a proactive approach to monitor, detect and mitigate information security risks in a timely manner.

A number of digital tools enable secure information flow and data exchange, to collaborate with customers and offer seamless, digital logistics solutions.

Technology in warehousing and contract logistics

With IoT and several other technologies, like Artificial Intelligence, drones, robots, and automatic tracing and tracking of data, the traditional approach to supply chain logistics has completely changed. These systems have augmented and have made e-commerce services and businesses, more efficient with their digital approach.

With an array of technologies being brought into the modern supply chain logistics, it indeed drives automation, and augmentation, promoting efficiencies with effective and clear delivery insights.

Chairman’s Message

Dear Shareholders,

The world has taken giant leaps over the past few years. Possibly at no point in history has mankind made such a massive climb on the mountain of progress. Digital innovation has not only democratised opportunities but has also given enterprises a new domain to operate in – the virtual one. Enabling these enterprises with the on-ground movement of goods is the logistics sector which is creating new possibilities for businesses.

Propelled by technology and an increase in world trade – driven by an increase in trade agreements – the global logistics market has grown significantly. It was valued at USD 9.5 trillion in 2021 and by 2027, it is expected to reach USD 13.3 trillion, with a compounded annual growth rate of 5.7% in the intervening years.

come together to reap rich dividends, by a team for whom customer centricity and commitment to excellence have become a culture. What has worked in our favour is firstly, bold ambitions, and secondly, the skill and expertise with which we have navigated several global challenges and mitigated their impact to a great extent.

The one way across the world

Being in the business of facilitating commerce and trade, and bolstering economies around the globe, Allcargo Logistics consolidated its strengths to create logistics magic for businesses the world over, during FY 2022. The brand, which for close to three decades, has come to be identified for its ingenious solutions and customer-centric approach, amalgamated its various businesses across the logistics spectrum to be and do things one way across the world.

During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic when businesses became conservative, we took on a group-wide transformation project in collaboration with McKinsey & Company, which is compounding its benefits today. Our offices around the world, continue to recalibrate processes and operations, in order to do things one way across the globe. Strengthened by a single-minded focus across geographies, I am pleased that our various integrated logistics businesses have done exceptionally well.

The merging of our strengths under the unified aegis of Allcargo Group could not have come at a better time. As we look back at FY 2020-21, we celebrate what has been our most successful year to date. It is a testament to the businesses we have grown, the dreams we are helping come true and the passions we have ignited. Last year, Allcargo set its sights far and wide and rose like a phoenix to meet the diverse requirements of businesses on different shores. These efforts were rewarded by the market, where Allcargo was able to consolidate its leadership across key businesses. Today, Allcargo ranks among the top 20 logistics companies in the world.

A remarkable business performance

Our International Supply Chain - ISC division has excelled both overseas and in India, to reinforce our position as the world’s LCL consolidation leader. The year also saw Allcargo move up the ranks to become the world’s 18[th] largest ocean freight forwarder and create history in Indian export consolidation, with the highest ever export consoles in a month from Nhava Sheva, Maharashtra. Backed by our state-of-the-art digital logistics platform, ECU360, we are also enabling our freight forwarding partners and associates to explore the potential of technology and keep pace with changing times.

Doing the right thing at the right time

While it may seem that good fortune caused favourable winds to fill our sails, the triumph of last year can be attributed to anything but a windfall. It is the culmination of various dynamic factors that have been artfully engineered to

11

Annual Report 2021-22

Long recognised for exceptional quality and value for customers, the container freight station (CFS) business also saw stellar growth. Our CFSs have catered to the evolving needs of the market to deliver exceptional value. Whether it is through innovative products and services or the implementation of digital portals like myCFS, the CFS-ICD division has been making inroads into new markets and opportunities.

Our people, our strength

Making all our feats possible are the efforts of an ingenious team of professionals. Armed with experience and expertise, they deliver excellent solutions that augment value for customers. The team has been enriched with the addition of industry-leading talent across offices in the world, with a number of CXO-level experts and critical managers joining Allcargo Group to lead us to newer victories by facilitating growth and digital adoption.

Having set world-class standards for facilities, operations and customer service, our contract logistics division, especially chemical warehousing, has been winning praise from all quarters, from juries and customers alike. The approach of leveraging new-age technology in a manner that enhances human capital has augured well for both, the business and our customers.

With our workforce comprising of more than 50% women in our global subsidiary ECU Worldwide, we are committed to replicating this healthy model of gender balance in India as well. The Restart programme, launched during the year, is slated to be a game-changer. Aimed at bringing in more diversity, women who have had to take a break from their careers for personal and domestic reasons, have the opportunity to ease back into the workplace by taking up full-time or project-based roles.

Further, we expanded our nationwide footprint by building world-class logistics parks in Farukh Nagar, Haryana, and Malur, Karnataka. At 100 acres each, they hold the distinction of being the largest in the country. Built to international standards, these strategically-located logistics parks are enabling businesses to make the most of the e-commerce boom that is likely to drive consumption and consequently the demand for Grade-A warehousing. The coming years we would see the Express and Warehousing segments grow at the fastest pace within the logistics sector, and as one of the largest players in the segment, we are excited to be at the forefront of this growth.

As the pandemic has caused us to reassess our relationship with our physical and emotional well-being, various initiatives have been implemented to not only create better work-life balance but overall improve the quality of our team’s physical and mental health. After all, the team is an aggregate of individual members, and at Allcargo we believe we are one family.

Moreover, our express distribution and domestic air freight services in collaboration with Gati are also seeing sturdy growth, and customers across India have reinforced faith in Gati’s unmatched network and services. Gati has been certified as the Most Trusted Express Services – Domestic Brand 2022. Steered by exceptional leadership, Gati has undergone significant transformation and is on its way to regaining its glory as India’s undisputed leader in express distribution.

Digital strides

The air freight wing of our global subsidiary, ECU Worldwide, has focussed on consolidating itself over the past year and is prepared to spread its wings to reach for higher skies in the new business year.

Digital innovation has drastically altered the way we think, act, live and do business. The future is digital, and to support the digital aspirations of businesses, we have invested heavily in our digital play to drive efficiencies across the board, during FY 2021-22.

Definitive action

Steering us to success across verticals have been a number of critical decisions that we have taken to capitalize on opportunities and to strengthen Allcargo’s presence the world over.

Allcargo Group has built digitally-enabled companies and it is a testament to our faith and focus in technology that all our digital interfaces put together, over 55% of all export bookings are now executed through digital platforms.

The Joint Venture with Nordicon, the leading ocean freight services provider in the Nordic region with extensive rail freight capabilities has strengthened our presence in the Nordics. While closer home, we consolidated our businesses by exiting non-core ventures whose assets were sold off with the objective of becoming asset-light.

Our intensive efforts to ensure the safety of our stakeholders’ interests have been recognized with ISO27001 certification for the robustness of our data, cybersecurity and information technology initiatives. The endeavour to leverage the potential of data science, digitalization and new-age technologies will certainly gain more momentum in the coming years.

Further, our decision to demerge into three public listed companies has been received well by stakeholders, who stand to significantly gain from this strategic move. It will empower the businesses to gain strategic independence, and financial and operational flexibility, enabling greater individualized focus to manage, strategize and analyse for augmented growth.

FY 2021-22 also stands out as the landmark year wherein Allcargo’s entire finance function spread across continents embarked on a transformation project aimed at optimizing, standardizing, and simplifying processes to bring in enhanced efficiencies. All of these diverse strategic measures form the architecture for our sustainable growth as a digital-first, customer-centric, and agile logistics company, delivering excellence to customers worldwide.

Committed to a sustainable tomorrow

Even as we keep pushing boundaries to scale new heights on the business front, Allcargo Group is ever committed to building a sustainable future. This is reflected in the strong dedication to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), and Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) norms, from our Board of Directors who continue to guide us on this as well as our team members who drive our initiatives ahead.

Our people-centric policies and adherence to the highest forms of corporate governance contribute to making Allcargo a Great Place to Work. It is a matter of great pride that we have achieved an incredible score of 83, which is 6 points higher than our previous score of 77.

We are taking efforts to reduce our impact on the environment by optimizing our operations and being eco-conscious in our approach towards our logistics assets as well as our daily requirements. Initiatives that enable our team members to participate in volunteering activities and make a difference to society have always received enthusiastic support and participation.

Moreover, our CSR arm, Avashya Foundation, carries out a number of inclusive programmes that reach out to communities, help increase the earth’s green cover, empower women and youth, enable healthcare for the underprivileged and make a difference across six focus areas – Education, Environment, Health, Women Empowerment, Disaster Relief and Sports. Each of these initiatives is designed to create tangible change in society and the environment. An instance of this

would be our Maitree programme, under whose aegis we have planted more than 710,000 trees to not only help restore the ecosystem but also help diversify the incomes of tribal farmers in interior Maharashtra.

Together we have made a difference in over 360,000 lives till date and continue to leverage our network of NGO partners to reach out to many more beneficiaries, year after year.

The way ahead

As India takes forward steps to become an Atmanirbhar Bharat and grow into a USD 5 trillion economy that emerges as a global trade hub and logistics powerhouse, Allcargo Group is geared to support the nation with an international supply chain, express distribution and contract logistics solutions that create logistics magic, worldwide.

In the months and years that follow, we look ahead to powering collaborative business strategies and decisions that co-create value for customers, employees, shareholders and all our stakeholders.

Annual Report 2021-22

Strategic Move with the Scheme of Demerger

retaining its ownership of shares in its global subsidiary, ECU Worldwide, Gati Ltd. and also the contract logistics division of Avvashya CCI Pvt. Ltd.

Allcargo Logistics and its diverse business verticals right from International Supply Chain Solutions and CFS-ICD to contract logistics and logistics parks, are well established market leaders in their respective domains and deliver excellence to marquee businesses from varied industries.

ö Allcargo Terminals Limited (ATL)

It will consolidate its leadership position in the Container Freight Stations (CFS) space and continue to expand its footprint in CFS-ICD across India and abroad.

To keep up the pace of growth and scale these businesses to the next level of growth, a landmark step has been taken by announcing the strategic demerger scheme to create two more public listed companies in a traditional mirror shareholding structure.

Our holding in Speedy Multimodes would also be a part of ATL. The focus will be on being asset-light, ensuring growth with high returns on capital employed.

The resulting simplified structure, sharper capital allocation, backed by a dedicated team driving unified goals and group-wide centers of excellence that each business can tap into would augur well for the business.

ö TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks Limited (TRLPL)

It is the original group brand that will include crane rental, logistics parks. The business would be focused on development, creation, partnering in longer duration, rent yielding, annuity based, and long gestation strategic assets.

Once the implementation of the demerger is complete, Allcargo Logistics would operate as three independent companies - Allcargo Logistics Limited, Allcargo Terminals Limited and TransIndia Realty and Logistics Parks Limited, with specializations in their own logistics verticals.

Shareholders of Allcargo Logistics Limited will get one share each of the two new companies for every one share they hold in Allcargo Logistics Limited.

ö Allcargo Logistics Limited (ACL)

The enlisted parent company that leads in international supply chain solutions, express distribution, and contract logistics businesses will keep up its enhanced focus on an asset-light business model, with added emphasis on digitalization. It will continue

This strategic move will enable businesses to accelerate their sustainable growth by exploring opportunities to tap into new markets and innovative products and services, individually or inorganically, through partners.

We have successfully eliminated transit time by adding direct lines within the network.

This in return brings greater agility and transparency in our service offerings. ECU360, our in-house developed state-ofthe-art platform, enables customers to effortlessly manage their shipments, with real-time information on their fingertips. In addition, we have recently launched our new API Product suite, making ECU Worldwide integration ready for customers, vendors and third party providers.

Container Freight Stations (CFS)/ Inland Container Depots (ICD)

CFS-ICD facilities are extension of port activities, enabling effective evacuation of export and import containers through road and rail. Apart from keeping Indian ports capacity utilizations at optimal levels, CFS-ICD provides a range of other services like custom clearance, container and cargo storage, stuffing and de-stuffing of containers, warehouse to last mile delivery as value added services to the customers. CFS-ICD facilities are a vital cog in the EXIM supply chain of the country.

The Company has strategically created its presence in CFS at key Container Terminals of the Country viz. JNPT- Mumbai, Chennai, Mundra and Kolkata, which drives around three fourths of India’s container traffic. These ports are connected and cater to India’s widespread demographic hinterland and we, at Allcargo take pride in serving their needs for nearly two decades. At the core of the business lies Allcargo’s strong customer connect, reliable stakeholder management, robust systems and processes that are lean and agile making us a premier CFS service provider in the Country. The Company’s business model has unique synergies between its global presence through ECU Worldwide and domestic presence through Contract Logistics (ACCI) and Gati.

The portal also gives access to contact-less services from the comfort of your home or office.

We believe such simplification and digitization is possible at multiple touch points which could significantly add to customer delight, positioning us as the most preferred logistics partner.

In line with our values for protecting our environment and

encouraging sustainable practices, we have installed Solar Power plant of 100 KW at our facilities. In addition, we also undertake tree plantation drives, discourage use of single use plastic wares, and replaced our lighting infrastructure with energy efficient lighting.

The future of the industry is taking a shift towards increasing demand for providing multimodal solutions, export-oriented solutions and manage LCL requirements of the industry. In line with these macro-economic trends, the Company would evolve its CFS solutions to integrated services straddling other links of the supply chain, viz., export, LCL, warehousing and multimodal solutions through strategic partnerships and investments in best-in-class infrastructure.

Project and Engineering Solutions (P&E)

The group strategy of focusing on core, asset light, high RoCE business has achieved a milestone in the current year. The project business which handled movement of over dimensional cargo (ODC) was sold during the financial year 2022. The segment now includes equipment (trailers, cranes, forklift and stackers) leasing business. More than 90% of the equipment’s are fully depreciated and are operating in optimal condition. Since FY2014, there was no new capital deployment in the segment, and other balance assets which has higher maintenance costs or older and low yield are being strategically rationalized. Average asset utilisation levels for FY2022 stood at 78% as compared to 60% in FY2021.

Post demerger, the segment would be transferred to TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks Limited whereby these assets would be aligned to the infrastructure growth story of India. Despite risks and challenges, Government’s top priority on infrastructure development is expected to aid improved realisation and utilisation levels for these assets. Through focused capital allocation, the Company focus would remain to generate higher yields on the assets managed.

Logistics Park (LP)

The Company’s logistics and industrial parks are located across major logistics markets in India such as Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Mumbai (JNPT), Hosur and Goa. Our Logistics Parks are distinguished by high-quality tenants, including several leading E-commerce companies, light manufacturing, consumer goods, contract logistics, express logistics and record management companies.

The Company has 6 million sq. ft. of Grade-A logistics parks that are completed or nearing completion with over 93% leased out and 80% already operational. Our completed warehousing units have zero vacancy.

Our large portfolio of operational assets put us among the top three owner-operator of Logistics Park in the Country. We have expertise throughout the development cycle and have in-house capabilities to acquisition, design development, construction, leasing and property management. We also have 3 million sq.ft. of additional development pipeline on land parcels already owned by the project SPVs. The initial portfolio was developed using our balance sheet strength. However, since last 1 year we have embarked on a de-leveraging exercise achieved through a mix of dilution of super majority stake to a prominent global real estate fund and by proceeds of lease rental discounting that are served by the standalone rental incomes. The de-leveraging strategy is a continuous exercise and we expect that by the end of FY2021-22, we would have significantly reduced the balance sheet exposure to warehousing assets while keeping a minority but strategic stake, barring a port located warehouses strategic to our core business which we shall continue to own. Given our

61

Annual Report 2021-22

proven track record of a top class logistics real estate space provider, we will continue to expand further but with an asset light strategy which gives backing of institutional investments.

We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on the favorable long-term prospects of logistics real estate in India. We have additional pipeline of assets which include second developments in the main cities and also other key cities that offer the best long-run development opportunities and which should benefit the most from growth.

In line with the Company’s vision, mission and the guiding principles outlined by the Chairman, the company is aggressively moving forward with technology and digital transformation, with the following IT vision -

  • Create Gold Standard IT Infrastructure that is faster, scalable, and sustainable

  • Build Disruptive IT solution with inclusion of business team

There was an overarching program named “Project Eagle Eye” that defined all IT projects, aligned to above mentioned IT vision. The implementation of this program was initiated in Q2, financial year 2021. While many projects under this program have been completed, some new multi-year, high impact initiatives have also been launched to further the digitalization journey of the organization. Brief overview of key IT and Digital transformation projects is given below.

DR (Disaster Recovery) Implementation:

It includes implementation of cloud-based DR solution for ECU Worldwide. This project was initiated in Dec 2021 and was completed by end of Feb 2022. There are currently 6 primary data centers (DC) present globally in the following locations: Miami, Antwerp, Johannesburg, Shanghai, Hongkong and Melbourne. All of these are hosted on premise with appropriate on-premises back up arrangements. The objective of this project was to implement cloud-based DR solution for enabling backup of current applications, systems and data required to execute business continuity planning (BCP) in case of failure of primary data centers due to any disaster. The disasters could be cyber-attacks, terrorist attacks, equipment failures, natural disasters etc.

Cybersecurity Uplift:

The Company deployed IT Security (ISMS) framework and has received ISO 27001:2013 certification recently. A fullscale cyber uplift program based on NIST cybersecurity

  • Establish best-in-class cyber security

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

framework has been implemented. This includes setting up tools such as EDR (endpoint detection & response), 24/7 security operations monitoring (SOC), cyber threat intelligence (brand monitoring, dark web monitoring), third party patch management platform, secure web gateway, web application firewall, multifactor authentication system etc. to mitigate the cyber risks and reduce exposure.

The security operations center (SOC) looks after organization’s security posture related to identifying, protecting, detecting, analyzing and enhanced handling of cybersecurity incidents.

The Company also leverages an external security rating platform to evaluate cyber security posture score. This allows continuous monitoring of external IPs from OutsideIn perspective on important cyber security pointers.

NOC (Network Operations Center):

It includes implementation of enterprise management software for end-to-end network monitoring with 24*7 support. This project was initiated in Dec 2021 and will be completed in April 2022. The NOC is intended to segregate the roles for maintenance and upkeep of server and network infrastructure. This implementation will take care of availability, performance and capacity of network related infrastructure. Currently, priority is assigned manually to all incidents, which will be automated once NOC is implemented. Management envisions to achieve call response of 100% and root cause analysis (RCA) within 72 hours for any incident.

Project Drone:

It includes upgradation of the core financial ERP system. This project was initiated in Dec 2021 and is planned to be completed by Dec 2023. The objective of this project is to optimize existing finance and controlling operations. This project also aims to implement multiple business critical reports and dashboards that will flow seamlessly from the ERP system. Project Drone will also provide seamless data for implementation of various analytics projects discussed ahead.

Topaz 2.0:

It includes implementation of upgraded version of TOPAZ application stack. This is an important project for the Company as it aims to transform the existing TOPAZ applications, which are the core applications for the Company’s operations. 90% of overall application landscape, across geographies, is connected through the suite of TOPAZ applications. TOPAZ 2.0 will have a microservices based, native cloud-ready and API driven architecture, with enhanced business capabilities. The project will have 3 phases as follows –

  • Discover (phase 1): assessment of all existing functionalities, code base and integrations with other applications

  • Implementation (phase 3): onboarding of vendor followed by agile based implementation and roll out.

Sales accelerator mobile application:

It includes implementation of mobile application which will be integrated with CRM application. This will enable sales team to have real time visibility on insights on prospective clients. This project was initiated in Dec 2021 and is planned to be completed by June 2022. Currently, sales representatives don’t have a real-time mechanism to access data on the go to assist them with lead and account management activities. The sales accelerator application will allow sales representatives to add new customers and push the records to CRM in real time. Details of existing customer will also be available on the application. This will further assist sales representatives on insights to enhance their decisionmaking process.

Project Unnati:

At Allcargo CFS (Container Freight Stations), in line with the Company’s focus to promote Digital transformation, Project Unnati was initiated last year. This project aims to integrate CFS and its ecosystem (Customers, CHA, Customs) in a faceless and seamless manner, which is both secured and provides ease of doing business to stakeholders. This will revamp the existing CFS-ICD application landscape and provide a new digital experience to our external and internal customers. In this regard we have progressed significantly and as part of project we have launched MyCFS portal for our customers to carry out online transactions such as, Upload of EXIM documents, Request for activities such as Grounding / Destuffing, Track & Trace and Proforma thus saving significant amount of time. This will be followed up with other digital tools such as mobile applications and upgraded enterprise software using state of art IT architecture. The project has progressed quite well and would be completed by the calendar year end.

(ii) In case of imported technology (imported during the last three years reckoned from the beginning of the financial year):

The Company has not imported any technology during the period of last three years.

(iii) The expenditure incurred on Research and Development:

The Company being an integrated logistics service provider, there is no expenditure incurred on research and development during the year under review.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Global Economy Overview

The global economy in 2021 rebounded strongly after the sharp COVID-19 related declines in 2020. However, it was no less challenging than 2020, impacted by continued repercussions and knock-on effects from the virus, severely impacting the demand and supply situation, worldwide. In 2021, the global economy expanded by 5.5% (contraction of 3.3% in 2020), the highest growth rate in more than four decades – triggered by surging demand, strong consumer spending, and some uptick in investment triggered by a significant fiscal and monetary stimulus.

The year 2022 has brought with it a different set of challenges. The momentum of growth has been impacted by monetary tightening, re-globalization, and adverse implications of trade war. The recovery in 2021 is facing significant headwinds in 2022, with the World Bank now pegging the global economy to grow at sub-3% levels over 2022 and 2023. The sanctions are expected to hit economic growth, with emerging markets and developing countries both getting equally impacted. Fuel and food prices have increased rapidly, hitting vulnerable populations, especially in low-income countries. War-induced commodity price increases and broadening price pressures have led to 2022 inflation projections of 5.7% in advanced economies, and 8.7% in emerging markets and developing economies.

The recent lockdowns in different parts of the world have snarled operations at some of the world’s major ports, affecting the supply chains. Considering that the manufacturer to the world faces disruptions and challenges, as do various other countries, these circumstances are weighing on the global economy and adding another risk to the inflation picture. The ongoing war, lockdowns, and rising inflation are further exacerbating the recovery of the global economy. Basis the above headwinds, global trade volumes are expected to grow by 4% in 2022 and 4.3% in 2023.

While challenges remain, we, at Allcargo, believe converting challenges into opportunities. The distress scenario has benefited global players like us to accelerate investments into different geographies, business activities and organizational transformation. The tough situations demand consolidation in the industry, which we are seeing early signs of and believe that the bigger players like us would further strengthen their core capabilities, gain market share, achieve accelerated profitable growth, and create value for all stakeholders.

Indian Economy Overview

India entered FY 2022 with ongoing lockdowns continuing intermittently since 2020. However, the Indian economy has witnessed green shoots of economic recovery. The GDP growth rate of FY 2022 stood at 8.9%, 1.8% above the pre-pandemic (2019-20) level. India’s merchandise exports of FY 2022 stood at USD 420 billion (43.8% YoY increase) whereas imports stood at USD 612 billion (55.1% YoY increase) - crossing the total value of $1 trillion first time in its history. The current growth in the economy and exports is a result of various initiatives taken by the Government of India. In November 2020, the Government of India announced an 2.65 lakh crore (USD 36 billion) stimulus package to generate job opportunities and provide liquidity support to various sectors such as tourism, aviation, construction, and housing. India’s cabinet approved the production-linked incentives (PLI) scheme to provide approximately 2 trillion (USD 27 billion) over five years, to create jobs and boost production in the country. Numerous foreign companies are setting up their facilities in India on account of various Government initiatives like Make in India and Digital India. The Government of India, under its Make in India initiative, is endeavouring to boost the contribution of the manufacturing sector, with an aim to take it to 25% of the GDP, from the current 17%. Besides, the Government has also come up with the Digital India initiative, which focuses on three core components: the creation of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally, and increasing digital literacy.

The trajectory set for India’s economy by the previous year’s budget has been reinforced in the Union Budget 2022-23. The capex budget has been increased by 35.4% over the current year’s budget predictions, amounting to 4.1% of GDP. This increase will fuel Gati Shakti’s seven engines, bridging the infrastructure gap and facilitating more and better opportunities. Due to increased employment, private investments and consumption levels are rising. The capex generated by the government will also encourage private investment. The production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes in 14 sectors, will further encourage private investment in order to boost export growth and allow for feasible import substitution in the country.

Global Logistics Sector

The Global Logistics market reached a value of USD 4.92 trillion in 2021. Going forward, the market is expected to reach USD 6.55 trillion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% from 2022-2027. The logistics sector powers the global economic growth engine. On an average, logistics sector accounts for anywhere between 8-10% in the GDP of various countries across the globe. However, the pandemic induced lockdowns have disrupted the supply chains and exposed the vulnerabilities of the sector. While addressing these vulnerabilities, the sector, as a whole, is coming back stronger.

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Technology had already been changing the execution capabilities of the logistics sector. Additionally, logistics challenges posed by the pandemic, social distancing and public health measures, the threat of cyber-attacks, etc., have accelerated the adoption of technology. Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, Robotics, Data Analytics, Warehouse Automation, Autonomous Vehicles, etc. are changing the competitive landscape. These technologies are leading to a significant increase in workflow flexibility and performance. They have also improved supply chain efficiency, by lowering costs and reducing errors.

Another factor impacting logistics is ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is pushing towards reduction of greenhouse gases in a big way. IMO has adopted the Energy Efficiency Design Index for existing ships (EEDI) and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), which will come into force in January 2023, for abatement of carbon dioxide emissions. ESG visibility, improvement and reporting, is both, a primary concern as well as a core strategy, for many global corporations today. ESG strategies also have the potential to become significant value drivers across a digitized supply chain network.

Integrated Supply Chain, as a concept and as a service, is gaining momentum across the globe. Multinational companies are focusing on upstream and downstream integration to provide an end-to-end, seamless solution to their customers. Logistics, as an industry, is evolving driven by multiple forces such as technology, lockdown disruptions, circular economy, etc. It is imperative for businesses to start building for the future.

Indian Logistics Sector

In FY 2021, the size of the Indian logistics market was around USD 250 billion. It is estimated that this market would grow to USD 380 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of approximately 11%. The Indian Government’s keen focus on building a better road network, dedicated freight corridors, tech-driven warehousing, along with multimodal logistics parks, substantiates the role of logistics in the economic growth of the country.

Higher logistics and inventory cost in India could be attributed to a lack of efficient inter-modal and multimodal transportation systems. However, with the launch of significant government initiatives like the ‘Gati Shakti’ Master Plan for multimodal connectivity, a smooth logistics infrastructure development is expected in the coming years. This plan is also expected to enable faster implementation of the Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs). Various Government initiatives such as the National Logistics Policy (NLP), the implementation of GST to streamline taxation, geotagging of warehouses and encouragement to ‘IoT’ are improving logistics efficiency. In December 2021, the Government abolished Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP). As a result, the new guidelines allow the concessionaires of Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects to set tariffs as per market dynamics, which will help concessionaires become competitive with private players.

With a burgeoning startup ecosystem in the country, new-age digital logistics players are emerging. Quoting, Booking and Tracking, are current core functions being done digitally. In future, we could look at features like Bill of Lading (“BL”) error check, e-BL, display of remaining space on vessel, display of congestion at ports, preconfirmation of deliverability, automatic calculations of import duties and taxes, QR coding of documents, on-time display of demurrage costs, etc., going digital as well. These solutions are bringing in significant synergies, efficiencies, and are widening the total available market for entrenched players. The Indian logistics sector is benefitting from strong tailwinds from the rise of D2C (Direct to Consumer), Quick Commerce, Reverse Logistics, etc. The existing logistics players will have to reinvent themselves to cater to these new business models. The omni-channel (online + offline) offerings are coming to the forefront, adapting to a similar set of requirements of customers.

With infrastructure push from the Government and adoption of new-age technologies, the logistics sector in India is witnessing a massive overhaul.

Annual Report 2021-22

The strategic acquisition and turnaround of Gati has resulted into the organization maintaining its market leadership in the B2B surface express distribution space. Gati manages one of the industry’s widest supply chain networks, covering 99 per cent of Government of India approved PIN Codes.

On the logistics parks front, Allcargo has built best-in-class, Grade-A warehousing infrastructure, which can cater to the needs of customers, across industries. With best-in-class infrastructure, widest reach, market leadership in businesses and solutions across the logistics value chain, Allcargo has been effortlessly enabling marquee customers across sectors with multimodal transport solutions. The company is well-poised to play a major role and increase its market share, in the everexpanding landscape of Indian logistics.

At Allcargo, the management has laid down a clearly defined strategy which involves building asset-light, digitally-enabled businesses, through organic and inorganic growth, which will create value for all its stakeholders. Over the past two years, the organization has been on a transformation journey, with a focus on driving growth. Driving organic growth was of utmost importance, and this has been done through various transformation initiatives, for example, implementing sales acceleration programs in key countries that ECU Worldwide operates in. These initiatives led to extremely positive results in the countries where they were launched, and will consequently be replicated in more countries, as we move forward. Allcargo has also created numerous possibilities and avenues through strategic acquisitions. With a history of more than 10 mergers and acquisitions successfully completed over a decade, inorganic growth too, is integrated in the DNA of the organization. The management has been able to scout for strategic opportunities, which have been value accretive for the Company. In the recent past, the organization acquired stake in Nordicon, acquired Speedy Multimodes, set up a joint venture in Korea, and acquired Gati. All the acquisitions are performing tremendously well, which gives the company and management the confidence to continue exploring further growth, through acquisitions.

Digitalization has also been a top priority for the organization, as it becomes imperative for logistics players in every function to adopt digital technologies to stay relevant. Digital initiatives are being implemented across all customer touchpoints to ensure exceptional customer experiences. ECU360, our flagship platform, has completely changed the way customers book and track their shipments. Data science techniques are being applied for improving yield, route optimization and enabling better service quality, at best possible costs. On the back-end, there are other initiatives like Project Drone, comprising initiatives like the startup accelerator and incubation programme and building a Centre of Excellence on the pillars of enhance, enable, and engender.

During the year, Allcargo Logistics exited its project forwarding business. This move was in line with the management strategy of focusing on core businesses. Under the guidance of its able management, Allcargo is moving towards becoming a worldclass financial and digital organization. The agenda of all these initiatives is to create a lean organization, with a focus on profit maximization.

strategic business undertakings will be created and the existing businesses will be demerged into the following 3 entities, subject to necessary approval of the Regulatory authorites:

Allcargo Logistics Limited (ACL)

Allcargo Terminals Limited (ATL)

TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks Limited (TRLPL).

Separation of businesses will happen through mirror demerger, resulting in no change in the entitlement of shareholders.

The rationale behind the demerger is to help the company accelerate growth by creating independent business undertakings. The demerger will lead to strategic independence for each entity, and will also allow operational and financial flexibility to drive growth.

Consolidated Financial Overview

Despite global headwinds, Allcargo Logistics has been able to deliver a solid performance. This performance is an outcome of transformational initiatives undertaken over the last two to three years; and is also a testament to the strength of the organization’s robust business model and operational capabilities. A sharp focus on creating an asset-light business with a focus on digitalization, has helped achieve this outcome. For FY 2022, Allcargo has recorded its highest ever revenue and profitability. On both these parameters, the organization has been able to demonstrate growth at a CAGR >20% since its listing. These results not only show its inherent strengths, but also showcase the organization’s success in the transformation initiatives it has embarked upon. Now, with a clear strategy combined with focusing on core businesses, Allcargo is laying a stepping stone to further enhance financial performance.

The consolidated performance of the company for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2022, is as follows: Total revenue at 20,072 crore as against 10,498 crore for the corresponding previous period, an increase of 91%.

ACL will consist of three businesses: (i) International Supply Chain (MTO) (ii) Express logistics through Gati (iii) Contract Logistics through Avvashya CCI (ACCI)

Global Container Trade Overview

In 2021, global container throughput registered a growth of 7%, as compared to 2020. For the year 2021, the throughput stood at about 849 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). Because of lockdowns in Shanghai and due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, disruption in supply chains is expected, which could lead to a slowdown in global container shipping growth, to 3% in 2022. Due to the slowdown, capacity crunch and higher tariffs are likely to continue till 2023. Multiple countries imposed lockdowns during the second wave, resulting in slowdown in industrial production, causing major cancellations in supply chain routes and affecting seaborne logistics. Port congestions have become common place and container ships have been arriving at their destinations with significant delays. As a result, in February 2022, 11.6% of the global container ship capacity was not utilized.

Container freight rates inched higher between 2019 to 2022. The year 2021 saw higher volatility in global freight rates, reaching a record price and thereby moderating from those levels towards March 2022. Increased demand for goods and services is being witnessed year after year, as global economies get interconnected.

International Supply Chain (MTO) Division Overview

International Supply Chain (MTO) includes movement of cargo, domestically or internationally, through multiple modes of transportation like air, ocean, road and rail. LCL segment accounts for approximately 6-8% of the overall shipping trade volumes. The balance of approximately 92-94% is FCL, which is largely addressed by freight forwarders. Global cargo traffic volumes have been growing at an average rate of approximately 3% for the past decade. However, ACL has been growing at rate which is higher by 2-3x of the global cargo growth rate. While one of the reasons for the significant outperformance, was its strong growth in the LCL segment, volume growth from FCL business also contributed to the overall growth. Growth was additionally driven by unlocking inorganic additions throughout these years. In July 2021, the organization’s subsidiary ECU Worldwide (into overseas International Supply Chain business) signed a Joint Venture with the Nordicon Group of Sweden. With this acquisition, ECU Worldwide is now able to command close to 40% of the LCL market in the Nordic region (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland).

The other important way to achieve growth was through the organic route, and that has been achieved through various transformation initiatives on sales acceleration. These initiatives have helped in significantly expanding the market share in countries in which they were deployed. To further strengthen organic growth, the organization adopted a digital-first strategy. At ECU Worldwide, the focus was to digitize customer endpoints which gave birth to the ECU360 platform. It started as a nascent platform back in 2018, and now has matured into a cloud-based, completely customer-centric, personalized platform which enables shorter wait times, faster online bookings and invoice generation, and reduced paperwork. ECU360’s advanced technology facilitates a faster and better exchange of information in real time. The platform enables customers to book, track, trace, and access all historical data, without any human intervention. Today close to 60% of ECU Worldwide’s bookings are from digital channels. The other end of digitalization was to automate the back-end process and enhance efficiencies. Technology standardization, along with process and automation, has boosted efficiency in the booking process, tariff management, and route management. Its digitalfirst approach has helped the organization achieve growth, without expanding the SG&A cost. The thrust on digitalization will continue, and help create further operating leverage on the back of automation, in ECU Worldwide.

International Supply Chain (MTO) Financial

Review

The consolidated (FCL + LCL) business volumes stood at 9,52,000 TEUs for the year ended March 31, 2022, as against 7,85,000 TEUs for the corresponding previous period, registering an increase of 21%. LCL volumes grew by 18% YoY and FCL volumes grew by 21% YoY.

Annual Report 2021-22

Total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022, was 17,643 crore, as against 8,449 crore for the corresponding previous period, an increase of 109%.

EBIT was 1,149 crore for the year ended March 31, 2022, as against 339 crore for the corresponding previous period, an increase of 238%.

Express Distribution Division Overview

While India is a very small market in the global express distribution industry, with less than 2% of the global market size, it has one of the fastest growing express industries. The Indian express industry witnessed a CAGR of close to 15% and reached a size of USD 5.5 billion in 2020. However, on account of the pandemic, the industry witnessed a dip in 2021. Of the total surface transportation market in India, express amounts to only 3%. But in future, this segment is expected to achieve growth of more than 15% per annum.

Gati Ltd. is one of India’s premier express distribution and supply chain management companies. In 2020, Allcargo Logistics Ltd. had acquired a stake of 46.86% from the erstwhile promoter, and become a promoter in the company. Allcargo executed business turnaround with a clear focus on becoming assetlight, thereby enhancing efficiency and profitability. Under the transformation journey, Gati has defocused on non-core, assetheavy businesses through asset sales and divestments, and sharpened its focus on core B2B express distribution, which has resulted in market share gains. The organization achieved its highest ever quarterly tonnage and revenue run-rate, thereby setting up its launchpad for growth. It also reduced debt by nearly two-third to 161 crore as on March 31, 2022, compared to 410 crore as on March 31, 2021.

After the successful transformation, Gati has now embarked on a journey to profitable growth by establishing a sustainable business model. The management has laid down five key focus pillars of growth viz. Digitalization, Sales Acceleration, Infrastructure, Operations and Talent, which are well-aligned to achieve its long-term aspirational growth targets. The management has laid emphasis on front-end and backend digitalization by implementing CRM software and sales acceleration programs. Sales acceleration has been built around realignment of the sales team structure and a targeted approach towards key account management, MSME, and retail. Further, the management has also made use of data science techniques for route optimization and enabling better service quality.

Express Distribution Financial Review

The total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022, was 1,490 crore as against 1,314 crore for the corresponding previous period, an increase of 13%.

EBIT losses narrowed to 35 crore for the year ended March 31, 2022, compared to 50 crore for the corresponding previous period.

Contract Logistics: Business and Outlook

Allcargo Logistics majorly provides contract logistics services through its Group Company Avvashya CCI (ACCI-CL). The contract logistics business includes end- to-end logistics services – transportation, payments and inventory management. ACCI-CL offers 3-PL and warehousing solutions enabled with customized services for its customers spread across diverse industries. Through its extensive and wide network, the organization can provide unmatched reach backed by its expertise to cater to customized and specific requirements. ACCI-CL is the market

leader in the chemical warehousing segment. Additionally, it is rapidly growing in pharma, auto, retail, and e-commerce sectors.

The company has over 50 warehouses across 45 locations in India, managing over five million sq. ft. of built-up warehousing space. The contract logistics business which was earlier chemical-focused, has now successfully- been diversified and offerings expanded into other industry verticals like auto, e-commerce, etc. As India’s role in EXIM trade increases, we will see an increasing demand for contract logistics operations. ACCI-CL has existing capabilities which it can leverage and expand its service offerings to new domains. Avvashya CCI is a joint venture between Allcargo and CCI Logistics, where Allcargo holds 61% and CCI holds 38%. The company is undergoing a scheme of demerger wherein its customs carrying & freight forwarding (CCFF) business would be demerged from the contract logistics business (handled by ACCI-CL).

Allcargo Terminals Limited (ATL)

Allcargo Terminals would manage the CFS/ICD business. Allcargo’s CFS/ICD business includes services like handling of cargo, warehousing, custom clearance, and other value-added services. Allcargo Logistics is market leader in the CFS business, operating one of the widest and strongest CFS networks in India, with multi-city consolidation. It has a presence across major gateway ports of India, like JNPT, Chennai, Mundra and Kolkata. These ports, combined, handle >70% of India’s container traffic.

CFS/ICD Division Overview

There are 12 major ports and about 205 non-major ports in India. The country’s merchandise exports in FY 2022 were at USD 417.8 billion, up 43.2% YoY (+33.3% vs. FY20). However, during FY 2022, ports in India (major + minor) handled 1,318 million tonnes (MT) of cargo traffic, registering a CAGR of only 0.3% during FY20-FY22. Non-major ports accounted for 45.4% of the total cargo traffic at Indian ports in FY 2022. The share of non-major ports stood flattish, over FY20-22. The container volumes at major ports grew at a CAGR of 6% over FY20-22, while on the non-major ports, volumes at the largest port, Mundra, grew at a CAGR of 16% over the same period (FY20-22). This has resulted into a significant boost in the demand for container storage, handling, and transportation services in India.

The Indian Government has come up with the National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP). The agenda of NMDP is to develop the maritime sector. For this, the Government has budgeted an amount of USD 11.8 billion. Under the Sagarmala project, which was envisioned by the Government in 2015 with investments of about USD 82 billion in Indian port projects by 2035, has reached a scale with completion of close to 200 projects and more than 1300 projects under implementation/ development stage.

Allcargo’s CFS business is the market leader in JNPT and Mundra, and amongst the top three CFS operators in Kolkata and Chennai. It also has an ICD at Dadri. These CFS/ICD facilities have a total handling capacity of over one million TEUs, geared with the latest state-of-the-art technology, and backed by experienced teams who are equipped and trained to handle all import and export shipment requirements. During the year, Allcargo logistics acquired 85% stake in Speedy Multimodes, a Company that runs a CFS each in JNPT and Mundra. The ICD business is also being evaluated across key locations along the western and eastern dedicated freight corridors. The aim is to also achieve market leadership in the ICD business, in line with the commissioning of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC).

CFS/ICD Financial Review

The business clocked total volumes of 4,51,000 TEUs for the year ended March 31, 2022, as against 2,83,000 TEUs for the corresponding previous period, an increase of 59%.

Total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022, was 578 crore, as against 464 crore for the corresponding previous period, a growth of 25%.

EBIT was 131 crore for the year ended March 31, 2022, as against 157 crore for the corresponding previous period, a decline of 16%. The decline was largely related to normalization of ground rentals, compared to the corresponding pervious period.

TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks Limited:

TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks Limited (TRLPL) would build a portfolio of quality assets, which have the capability of generating higher rental yields. Some entity assets required for running related party businesses will be leased out to the group (land bank at JNPT and Chennai, corporate office, etc.). Also, certain asset classes which could be leased/constructed with other JV partners (Logistics Parks, etc.), would also be a part of TRLPL.

P&E Industry Overview

The construction equipment market in India is poised for healthy growth on account of surge in infrastructure spending by the Government. The Government has increased its capital spending by 36%, as compared to last year, in order to boost growth in the country. It is expected that the rental market for construction equipment in India is poised to grow at a CAGR of about 5.1% between 2020 and 2025. There are more than 1,200 ongoing projects in India, across sectors like power, road, railways, telecom, and shipping. There continues to remain a high demand for quality assets, which could result into higher yields for the relevant stakeholders.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/ indicators/construction-equipment-sales-set-for-doubledigit-growth/articleshow/91580973.cms?from=mdr

In FY 2022, Allcargo sold its non-core projects business. In addition, the focus continues to remain on selling non-core, low-yield and non-profitable assets. At the same time, the organization targets improved utilization of its existing assets, thereby generating positive operating profits on each of them.

P&E Financial Overview

The organization has an equipment strength of about 260, as on March 31, 2022.

The total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022, was 385 crore as against 308 crore for the corresponding previous period, a growth of 25%.

EBIT was at losses narrowed down to 21 crore for the year ended March 31, 2022, as against loss of 35 crore for the corresponding previous period.

Logistics Parks Division Overview

The Logistics Parks division largely focuses on catering to the warehousing demands of diverse domestic and MNC customers. However, the most feature-rich logistics park may not create the best value, if it doesn’t have access to air, road, and ocean connections, as well as industrial zones. A multimodal logistics park with the right proximity to transportation and industrial zones, can enable freight and distribution while offering Grade-A warehouse space. Several factors like the country’s changing

tax regime, growth across major industries such as automobiles, food, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and the emergence of organized retail, have supported the growth of the warehousing industry in India. According to a study from Knight & Frank, the warehousing transactions across 8 primary markets (NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad) are expected to grow at a CAGR of 19% over FY2126.

Allcargo has developed its existing land bank in line with the current and foreseen demand for Grade-A warehouses. It has established capabilities of developing fixed income, annuitybased assets, largely through MMLPs (multimodal logistics parks). These MMLPs are customized, built-to-suit for customer requirements, and spread across key industrial hubs and transport routes. Despite the COVID-led disruption, these MMLPs have already executed construction and pre-lease of their first phase (~5 msf) of warehousing space, under long-term lease. The clientele includes international marquee clients across e-commerce, retail, fashion, and other sectors. Allcargo’s definitive transaction with the Blackstone Group would result into transfer of 90% stake in some of these warehousing subsidiaries. Allcargo would remain a strategic minority stakeholder in these warehousing subsidiaries, at 10%, post the transfer.

Logistics Parks Financial Review

The total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022, was 90.1 crore as against 57.6 crore for the corresponding previous period, growth of 56%.

EBIT was at 37.6 crore for the year ended March 31, 2022, as against 19.4 crore for the corresponding previous period.

Our Strategy

Allcargo Group’s organic transformation and inorganic growth capabilities through turnarounds, remain pivotal. The focus continues to be on achieving scale through asset-light, digitallyenabled businesses. Alongside, the organization is divesting noncore businesses with an intent to focus on core business growth. It is already a market leader in most businesses it operates in and aspires to achieve leadership in the other businesses, over time. Restructuring through demerger, which is underway, would amplify these efforts by giving strategic and financial independence to these businesses. They will be in a position of advantage to take growth to the next level, individually, through vertical and horizontal expansion opportunities, as well as by partnering with strategic/financial stakeholders at an appropriate time.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2022, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements’ section of

our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matter

(a) Recoverability of trade receivables (as described in Note 7.2 of the standalone financial statements)

The gross balance of trade receivables as at 31 March 2022 amounted to Rs. 70,086 Lakhs, against which the Company has recorded expected credit loss provision of Rs. 6,754 Lakhs. The collectability of trade receivables is a key element of the Company’s working capital management.

The Company has a formal policy for evaluation of recoverability of receivables and recording of impairment loss which is applied at every period-end. In accordance with Ind AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments’, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables which is based on the credit loss incurred in the past, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company has also considered customer accounts as well as experience with collection trends and current economic and business conditions and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic relating to COVID -19.

The Company’s disclosures are included in Note 2.2(f) and Note 2.2(s) and note 7.2 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for determining the allowance for doubtful debts and details of the year on year movement in gross and net trade receivables.

  • Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: • We evaluated the Company’s policies, processes and financial controls relating to the monitoring of trade receivables and review of credit risks of customers.

  • Examined the management’s assessment of the customers’ financial circumstances and ability to repay the debt.

  • Circularized requests for balance confirmations on sample basis and examined responses.

  • Obtained evidence of receipts from customers.

  • Inspected relevant contracts and correspondence with the customers on sample basis, assessment of their creditworthiness with reference to publicly available information, where applicable.

  • Evaluated management’s estimates and the inputs used by management for development of the ECL model, analysis of ageing of receivables, assessment of material overdue individual trade receivables including specific customer balances and sector exposure.

  • We tested the mathematical accuracy and computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by the Company.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Income Taxes – recoverability of deferred tax assets (as described in Note 8 of the standalone financial statements)

At March 31, 2022, the Company had net deferred tax assets of Rs. 7,098 Lakhs, which include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) of Rs. 7,653 Lakhs paid in accordance with the income tax provisions. MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet based on a judgment that it is probable that the future economic benefit in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability will be realized.

Some of the Company’s units are located in tax-free zone/ area from which the profit earned is not subject to incometax and this results in the Company being subject to paying MAT. The recognition of MAT and its subsequent assessment of recoverability within the allowed time frame involves significant estimate of the financial projections, availability of sufficient taxable income in the future and significant judgements in the interpretation of tax regulations and tax positions adopted by the management, based on which we determined MAT to be a key audit matter.

The Company’s disclosures are included in Note 2.2(g) and Note 2.4 and Note 8 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for taxes and details of the year on year movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

  • Our audit procedures, among other things included the following:

  • We evaluated the Company’s accounting policies with respect to recognition of tax credits in accordance with Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”

  • We obtained an understanding of the process relating to recognition and assessment of recoverability of deferred tax asset and evaluated the design and tested the effectiveness of financial controls in this area relevant to our audit.

  • We have evaluated the Company’s assumptions and estimates in relation to the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income based on most recent budgets and plans, prepared by management principally by performing sensitivity analyses and evaluated and tested the key assumptions used to determine the amounts recognized.

  • We assessed the reasonableness of management’s business plans considering the relevant economic and industry indicators.

  • We involved our tax specialists who evaluated the Company’s tax positions

  • We have tested the mathematical accuracy of tax calculation and the MAT balance.

  • We assessed the disclosures in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”.

Provisions and contingent liabilities including taxation related matters (as described in Note 26 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company is contesting direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases and management exercises judgment in estimating the likelihood of any liability crystalizing on the Company.

The evaluation of management’s judgments, including those that involve estimations in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and the quantification of the potential financial settlement have been identified as key audit matter during the current year audit. Evaluation of the outcome of the direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases, and whether the risk of loss is more likely than not or remote, requires significant judgment by management.

The Company’s disclosures are included in Note 2.2(p) and Note 2.2(q) and Note 26 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for contingent liabilities and details of pending legal and direct and indirect tax litigation disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Our audit procedures, among other things included the following:

  • We evaluated the Company’s policy and processes for direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases.

  • • We assessed the design and implementation of the Company’s controls over the assessment of litigations and of disclosures.

  • • We examined regulatory correspondence to assess development in all pending cases against the Company.

We discussed the status and potential exposures in respect of significant litigation and claims with the Company’s internal legal team including their views on the likely outcome of each litigation and claim and the magnitude of potential exposure and sighted any relevant opinions given by the Company’s advisors.

• For material tax matters, we involved our tax specialists to assess management’s application and interpretation of tax legislation affecting the Company, and to consider the quantification of exposures and settlements arising from the disputes with the tax authorities in the various tax jurisdictions.

We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Annual Report 2021-22

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to

influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our

134

report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Allcargo Logistics Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2022 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to these Standalone Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Standalone Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to [standalone] financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2022, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

  • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

  • a. Business combinations and goodwill:

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether to measure the noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their acquisition date fair values. For this purpose, the liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities representing present obligation and they are measured at their acquisition fair values irrespective of the fact that outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable. However, the following assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured at the basis indicated below:

  • Deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance

145

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

with Ind AS 12 Income Tax and Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.

  • Potential tax effects of temporary differences and carry forwards of an acquiree that exist at the acquisition date or arise as a result of the acquisition are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 12.

  • Liabilities or equity instruments related to share based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share – based payments arrangements of the Company entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with Ind AS 102 Sharebased Payments at the acquisition date.

  • Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

  • Reacquired rights are measured at a value determined on the basis of the remaining contractual term of the related contract. Such valuation does not consider potential renewal of the reacquired right.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred.

Common control business combination: Business combinations involving entities or businesses that are controlled by the group are accounted using the pooling of interest method.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cashgenerating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount

of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

b. Investment in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining whether significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over the subsidiaries. The Company’s Investments in its associate and joint venture is recognised at cost less impairment loss (if any).

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Company measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and or proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss

c. Foreign currencies:

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective functional currency (i.e. Indian rupee) spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of the following:

  • a) Exchange differences arising on monetary items that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in profit or loss in the separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. In the financial statements that include the foreign operation and the reporting

146

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

entity (e.g., consolidated financial statements when the foreign operation is a subsidiary), such exchange differences are recognised initially in OCI. These exchange differences are reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

  • b) Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in OCI.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

Exchange differences arising on translation / settlement of foreign currency monetary items are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise.

In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Group initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Company determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

d. 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:

  • 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 by the Company.

e.

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:

  • 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 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.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties and unquoted financial assets, and significant liabilities, such as contingent consideration.

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.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

147

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

Multimodal transport income

Export revenue and import revenue is recognised when the vessel arrives at the port of destination which is the Company’s completion of performance obligation.

Container freight station income

Income from Container Handling is recognised on completion of its performance obligation.

Income from Ground Rent is recognised for the period the container is lying in the Container Freight Station as per the terms of arrangement with the customers.

Project and equipment income

Revenue for project related services includes rendering of end to end logistics services comprising of activities related to consolidation of cargo, transportation, freight forwarding and customs clearance services. Income and fees are recognized on percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is arrived at on the basis of proportionate costs incurred to date of total estimated costs, milestones agreed or any other suitable basis, provided there is a reasonable completion of activity and provision of services.

Income from hiring of equipment’s including trailers cranes etc is recognised on the basis of actual usage of the equipment’s as per the contractual terms.

Income from Logistics Park

Rental income arising from leasing of warehouses and is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Others

Reimbursement of cost is netted off with the relevant expenses incurred, since the same are incurred on behalf of the customers.

Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis. Interest income is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established i.e. the date on which shareholders approve the dividend.

Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straightline basis over the lease terms.

Business support charges are recognized as and when the related services are rendered.

f. Contract balances

Contract balances include trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities.

Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only

the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Trade receivables are separately disclosed in the financial statements.

Contract assets

Contract asset includes the costs deferred for multimodal transport operations relating to export freight & origin activities and Container freight stations operations relating to import handling and transport activities where the Company’s performance obligation is yet to be completed.

Additionally, a contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

g. Taxes

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 in accordance with the Income tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items is recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Management 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.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using liability approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • a) When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination

148

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

  • b) In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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, except:

  • a) When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

  • b) In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

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. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

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.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised outside statement of profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI (Other Comprehensive Income) or directly in equity.

The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities

and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Sales/ value added taxes paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses

Expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales/ value added taxes paid, except:

  • a) When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable

  • b) When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included.

The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognised for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the concerned company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period

The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

h. Non-current assets held for sale

The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the

149

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.

For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The group treats sale of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:

  • The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

  • An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

  • The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,

  • The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and

Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale to owners are not depreciated or amortised.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from other items in the balance sheet.

i. Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. Other property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any cost attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Borrowing cost relating to acquisition of tangible assets which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. Capital work in progress is stated at cost.

When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific

j.

useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category Useful lives ( inyears )
Building 30 to 60
Plant and machinery 15
Heavyequipments 12
Furniture and fixtures 10
Vehicles 8 to 10
Computers 3 to 6
Office equipments 5
Leasehold land 30 to 999
Leasehold improvements shorter of the estimated
useful life of the asset
or the lease term not
exceeding10years

The Company, based on internal assessment and management estimate, depreciates certain items of Heavy Equipments and Office Equipment over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Investment property

An investment in land or building, which is not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

150

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation on building component of investment property is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rate arrived at based on the useful life estimated by the management which is 60 years.

Investment properties are measured initially and subsequently at cost, though the Company measures investment property using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee or on the basis of appropriate ready reckoner value based on recent market transactions.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition.

Transfers are made to (or from) investment properties only when there is a change in use. Transfers between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.

k. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Computer software is amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of 6 years basis the life estimated by the management. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the

end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss. when the asset is derecognised.

l. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

151

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds neither its recoverable amount nor the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at 31 March and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

m. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and amortisation of ancillary cost over the period of loans which are incurred in connection with arrangements of borrowings.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

n. Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group has assessed/evaluated the impact of rent concessions offered during the break out of COVID 19 pandemic and considered its impact to be immaterial and applied the practical expedient mentioned in the amendment done to Ind as 116 “Leases” and considered

such related rent concessions not falling within the scope of lease modifications.

Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 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 remeasurement 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. Company does not have any Right-of-use assets which are depreciated on a straight-line basis for the period shorter of the lease term.

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. Refer to the accounting policies in section (m) Impairment of non-financial assets.

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. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate

152

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

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 remeasured 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.

iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the date of transition. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of lowvalue assets are recognised as expense over the lease term.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. 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. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

o. Inventories

Inventories of stores and spares are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower. The cost is determined on first in first out basis and includes all charges incurred for bringing the inventories to their present condition and location.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost necessary to make sale.

Provisions

p.

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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, 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.

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.

Contingent liabilities

q.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extreme rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

r. Retirement and other employee benefits

Short- term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of availing employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia. The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits such as salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia to be paid in exchange of employee services are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund and Employees State Insurance Corporation (‘ESIC’). The contribution is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which employee renders the related service. There

153

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme.

Defined benefit plan:

Gratuity liability, wherever applicable, is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation done as per projected unit credit method, carried out by an independent actuary at the end of the year. The Companys’ gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan.

The Company makes contributions to a trust administered and managed by an Insurance Company to fund the gratuity liability. Under this scheme, the obligation to pay gratuity remains with such Company, although the Insurance Company administers the scheme.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as longterm employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. The Company presents the leave as a short-term provision in the balance sheet to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as long-term provision.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.

s. 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.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair

value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

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

  • Debt instruments at amortised cost

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

  • Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

  • Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

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

i. Debt instruments at amortised cost

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met –

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

  • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (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 in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

ii. Debt instrument at FVTOCI

  • A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

  • The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

154

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

  • The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

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

Equity investments made by the Company in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are carried at cost less impairment loss (if any).

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from a company’s balance sheet) when:

iii. Debt instrument at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

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

iv. Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, 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 profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset 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.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets which are not fair valued through statement of profit and loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. 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) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses’ in the statement of profit and loss.

As a practical expedient, The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-

155

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

In order to hedge its exposure to interest rate risks on external borrowings, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The derivative instruments are marked to market and any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the Statement of Profit and Loss

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:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and 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 amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Activity

The Company uses various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, Crosscurrency swaps and forwards to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates and exchange rates. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company

formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are also subsequently measured at fair value.

Derivatives are carried as Financial Assets when the fair value is positive and as Financial Liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement of Profit and Loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedge which is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and later to Statement of Profit and Loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss or is treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a Non-Financial Assets or Non-Financial liability.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

  1. Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment.

  2. Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment.

  3. Hedges of a net investment in foreign operation.

At the inception of hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging/economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to change in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving the offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been

156

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in OCI in the cash flow hedge reserves, while ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss. The Company uses future stream of annual dividends receivable from its wholly owned subsidiary company as well as receivables from overseas customers as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency risk in the forecast transaction. The ineffective portion relating to Cross currency Interest rates swap is routed through the statement of profit and loss. Amount recognized as OCI are transferred to profit and loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. When the hedged item is the cost of non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amount recognized as OCI are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

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.

t. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and 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 cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

u. Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of noncash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated in the Cash flow statement.

v. Earnings per equity share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit of the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

w. Dividend

The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorised, and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.

2.3 New amended in Ind AS

  • (i) Ind AS 116: COVID-19 related rent concessions

MCA issued an amendment to Ind AS 116 Covid-19Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 to update the condition for lessees to apply the relief to a reduction in lease payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 from 30 June 2021. The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. In case a lessee has not yet approved the financial statements for issue before the issuance of this amendment, then the same may be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2020.

These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

  • (ii) Amendments to Ind AS 107 and Ind AS 109: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments to Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainty about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments have no impact on the financial statements of the Company as it does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.

The amendments to Ind AS 107 prescribe the disclosures which entities are required to make for relationships to which the reliefs as per the amendments in Ind AS

157

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

109 are applied. These amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after the 1 April 2020. These amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(iii) Ind AS 103 : Business Combinations

The amendment states that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards* issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. Therefore, the acquirer does not recognise those costs as part of applying the acquisition method. Instead, the acquirer recognises those costs in its post-combination financial statements in accordance with other Ind AS.

These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

2.4 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, 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. Some of the significant accounting judgement and estimates are given below:

Revenue recognition

The Company uses percentage of completion method in accounting of revenue for project division which includes rendering of end to end logistics services comprising of activities related to consolidation of cargo, transportation, freight forwarding and customs clearance services. Use of the percentage of completion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Percentage of completion is arrived at on the basis of proportionate costs incurred to date of total estimated costs, milestones agreed or any other suitable basis, provided there is a reasonable completion of activity and provision of services. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Company as lessee

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable 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 has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. 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).

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. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the credit rating).

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity 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 and mortality rates. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these

158

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 31 for further disclosures.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets.

Taxes

MAT credit is earned by the Company when the normal tax payable as per taxable profit is less than the MAT payable as per book profits. MAT credit earned is the difference between the MAT paid and normal tax payable.

Significant judgement is required to check the utilization of the MAT credit based on the likely growth in profitability of the Company and the likely additions made to the property, plant and equipment upto the expiry of the MAT credit earned.

Provision for tax liabilities require judgements on the interpretation of tax legislation, developments in case law and the potential outcomes of tax audits and appeals which may be subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore the actual results may vary from expectations resulting in adjustments to provisions, the valuation of deferred tax assets, cash tax settlements and therefore the tax charge in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The management assessed that Investments, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term borrowings, bank overdrafts and other current 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, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

31(A) Financial risk management objectives and policies

  • i) The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company’s risk assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the policies and processes. Risk assessment and policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Board of Directors and the management is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk assessment and policies and processes.

ii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risksensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Thus, the Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and it’s revenue generating and operating activities.

a) 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 exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Company’s policy is to keep maximum of its borrowings at fixed rates of interest. To manage this, the Company enters into interest rate swaps, in which it agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and

200

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. At 31 March 2022, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, 100% of the Company’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (31 March 2021: 100%).

b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company’s foreign currency borrowings.

When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions, the derivatives cover the period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or payable that is denominated in the foreign currency.

The Company hedges its exposure of net borrowings in foreign currencies by using foreign currency swaps and forwards. The Company has applied the hedge accounting as per principles set out in Ind AS – 109 ‘Financial Instruments’ in respect of combined hedging instrument, designated in a net investment hedging relationship, used to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to the net investment in foreign operations.

c) Unhedged foreign currency exposures

As at balance sheet date, the Company’s net foreign currency exposure Receivable / (payable) that is not hedged is 1,148 Lakhs (31 March 2021: (13,233) Lakhs). Majority of this amount represents the amount payable to overseas subsidiary companies hence it remains manageable exposure within the group itself.

d) Foreign currency sensitivity

For the year ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021, every 5% depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, would have affected the Company’s incremental operating margins by approximately 57 Lakhs and 662 Lakhs each (net). The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

The impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The impact on the Group’s pre-tax equity is due to changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has diversified customer base considering the nature and type of business.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 7.2. The Company does not hold collateral as security. 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.

201

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

(iv) Liquidity risk

The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans and commercial papers. 58% of the Company’s borrowings including current maturities of noncurrent borrowings will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: 65%) based on the carrying value of borrowings including current maturities of non-current borrowings reflected in the financial statements. 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 table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at 31 March 2022

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.

(v) Capital management

The Company’s objective for Capital Management is to maximise shareholder’s value, support the strategic objectives of the Company. The Company determines the capital requirements based on its financial performance, operating and long term investment plans. The funding requirements are met through operating cash flows generated.

31(B) Hedge Accounting

The Company’s business objective includes safe-guarding its earnings against adverse fluctuation in the movements of foreign exchange currency and interest rates. The Company has applied the hedge accounting as per principles set out in Ind AS – 109 ‘Financial Instruments’ in respect of combined hedging instrument, designated in a hedging relationship, used to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions.The Company has adopted a structured risk management policy to hedge all these risks within an acceptable risk limit and an approved hedge accounting framework which allows for Cash Flow hedges for the following hedging instrument and hedged item:-

Hedged instrument
Foreign Currency Term Loan of USD 260 Lakhs (Amount
in`19,111 Lakhs) and Euro -USD Cross currency Interest
rate swap.
Hedged item
The highly probable Euro Receivable future cash flows in the form
of receivables in Euro and the annual dividend receivable from
subsidiary.

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

The risk management objective is to hedge the variability in cashflows arising from the Euro denominated receivables from customers and the annual dividend cash flows from wholly owned subsidiary Allcargo Belgium N.V. because of changes in EURINR exchange rate using fixed-to-fixed EUR-USD Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps (CCIRS) and USD denominated Foreign Currency Term Loan availed by the Company.

The Company has created a ‘pay EUR and receive INR hypothetical swap’ matching the specifications of underlying cash flows designated in the Hedge relationship as of inception date. The hypothetical derivative is constructed using the market-quoted foreign exchange rates and interest rate curves prevailing as of inception on the pay EUR leg and a computed fixed rate on the receive INR leg. The computed fixed rate is such that it makes the net present value of the hypothetical derivative zero as of inception date.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and Dollar offset method.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from :-

  • (i) Differences in the timing of the cash flows.

  • (ii) Different indexes (and accordingly different curves).

(iii) The counterparties’credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements.

  • Since interest rate swap which becomes due for each month gets settled on monthly basis hence related mark to market losses gets accounted under the finance cost during reporting period. Hence the entire changes in fair value pertains to outstanding principle amount in USD.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of

Allcargo Logistics Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Allcargo Logistics Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”), its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) its associates and joint ventures comprising of the consolidated Balance sheet as at March 31 2022, the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, including other comprehensive income, the consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group, its associates and joint ventures as at March 31, 2022, their consolidated profit including other comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified

Key audit matters

under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group, associates, joint ventures in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of audit procedures performed by us and by other auditors of components not audited by us, as reported by them in their audit reports furnished to us by the management, including those procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Recoverability of trade receivables (as described in Note 7.3 of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements)

The gross balance of trade receivables as at 31 March 2022 amounted to 3,21,984 Lakhs, against which the Group has recorded expected credit loss provision of 14,359 Lakhs. The collectability of trade receivables is a key element of the Group’s working capital management.

The Group has a formal policy for evaluation of recoverability of receivables and recording of impairment loss which is applied at every period-end. In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables which is based on the credit loss incurred in the past, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions. In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has considered customer accounts as well as experience with collection trends and current economic and business conditions and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic relating to COVID-19.

The Group’s disclosures are included in Note 2.3(f) and Note 2.3(t) and Note 7.3 to the consolidated financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for determining the allowance for doubtful debts and details of the year on year movement in gross and net trade receivables.

Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: We evaluated the Group’s policies, processes and controls relating to the monitoring of trade receivables and review of credit risks of customers.

  • Examined the management’s assessment of the customers’ financial circumstances and ability to repay the debt

• Circularized requests for balance confirmations on sample basis and examined responses • Obtained trade receivable confirmations for sample parties • Obtained evidence of receipts from customers. •

  • Inspected relevant contracts and correspondence with the customers on sample basis, assessment of their creditworthiness with reference to publicly available information, where applicable.

  • Evaluated management’s estimates and the inputs used by management for development of the ECL model, analysis of ageing of receivables, assessment of material overdue individual trade receivables including specific customer balances and sector exposure.

We tested the mathematical accuracy and computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by the Group.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Income taxes- recoverability of deferred taxes (as described in Note 8 of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements)

At March 31, 2022, the Group had net deferred tax assets of Rs. 17,938 Lakhs, which include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) of Rs. 7,663 Lakhs paid in accordance with the income-tax provisions. MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet based on a judgment that it is probable that the future economic benefit in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability will be realized.

Some of the Holding Company’s units are located in tax-free zone/ area from which the profit earned is not subject to income-tax and this results in the Holding Company being subject to paying MAT. The recognition of MAT and its subsequent assessment of recoverability within the allowed time frame involves significant estimate of the financial projections, availability of sufficient taxable income in the future and significant judgements in the interpretation of tax regulations and tax positions adopted by the management’s, based on which we determined MAT to be a key audit matter.

The Group’s disclosures are included in Note 2.3(h) and Note 2.4 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for taxes and details of the year on year movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Our audit procedures, among other things included the following:

  • We evaluated the Group’s accounting policies with respect to recognition of tax credits in accordance with Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”

  • • We obtained an understanding of the process relating to recognition and assessment of recoverability of deferred tax asset and evaluated the design and tested the effectiveness of financial controls in this area relevant to our audit.

We obtained an understanding of the process relating to
recognition and assessment of recoverability of deferred
tax asset and evaluated the design and tested the

audit.
We have evaluated the Holding Company’s assumptions
and estimates in relation to the likelihood of generating
sufficient future taxable income based on most recent
budgets and plans, prepared by management, principally
by performing sensitivity analyses and evaluated and
tested the key assumptions used to determine the amounts
recognized.

We assessed the reasonableness of management’s
business plans considering the relevant economic and
industry indicators.
We involved our tax specialists who evaluated the
Company’s tax positions.
We have tested the mathematical accuracy of tax
calculation and the MAT balance.
We assessed the disclosures in accordance with the
requirements of Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”.

Provisions and contingent reliabilities including taxation related matters (as described in Note 31 of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements)

The Holding Company is contesting direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases and management exercises judgment in estimating the likelihood of any liability crystalizing on the Holding Company.

The evaluation of management’s judgments, including those that involve estimations in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and the quantification of the potential financial settlement have been identified as key audit matter during the current year audit. Evaluation of the outcome of the direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases, and whether the risk of loss is more likely than not or remote, requires significant judgment by management.

The Group’s disclosures are included in Note 2.3(q) & 2.3(r) and and Note 31 to the consolidated financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for contingent liabilities and details of pending legal and direct and indirect tax litigation disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Our audit procedures, among other things included the following:

• We evaluated the Group’s policy and processes for direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases. • We assessed the design and implementation of the Group’s controls over the assessment of litigations and of disclosures. • We examined regulatory correspondence to assess development in all pending cases against the Holding Company.

• We discussed the status and potential exposures in respect of significant litigation and claims with the Group’s internal legal team including their views on the likely outcome of each litigation and claim and the magnitude of potential exposure and sighted any relevant opinions given by the Group’s advisors.

• For tax matters, we involved our tax specialists to assess management’s application and interpretation of tax legislation affecting the Holding Company, and to consider the quantification of exposures and settlements arising from the disputes with the tax authorities in the various tax jurisdictions.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

213

Annual Report 2021-22

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its associates and joint ventures in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates and joint ventures to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group and its associates and joint ventures of which we are the independent auditors, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the

214

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annual Report 2021-22

Annexure 2 to The Independent Auditor’s Report Of Even Date On The Consolidated Financial Statements Of Allcargo Logistics Limited

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Allcargo Logistics Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Holding Company”) as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) , and its joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, and its joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both, issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation

218

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Group, and its joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, have maintained in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2022, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. However, In respect of 2 subsidiaries of the Group, certain controls pertaining to revenue contract mapping in information system need to be further strengthened.

Other Matters

Our report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company, in so far as it relates to these 29 subsidiaries, and 2 joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such subsidiaries and its joint ventures incorporated in India.

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Group Overview

Allcargo Logistics Limited (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Holding Company’, ‘Parent’), its subsidiaries (the holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”), its associates and joint ventures, is a leading multinational group engaged in providing integrated logistics solutions and offers specialised logistics services across multimodal transport operations, inland container depot, container freight station operations, contract logistics operations and project and engineering solutions.

The Holding Company is a public limited Company incorporated and domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and has its registered office at 6[th] floor, Avashya House, CST Road, Kalina, Santacruz (East), Mumbai – 400098, Maharashtra, India. The holding Company is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India.

The Consolidated Financial Statements (‘CFS’) were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 May 2022.

2. Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The CFS of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) and presentation requirements of the Division II of Schedeule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III) , as applicable to the financial statements. These CFS are prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain items of property, plant and equipment acquired under asset acquisition, intangible assets acquired under business combinations, derivative financial instruments and certain other financial assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments). The CFS have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The CFS are presented in INR and all values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs (‘INR 00,000) except when otherwise indicated.

Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

  • Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

  • Held primarily for the purpose of trading

  • Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is:

  • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

  • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities as classified as non-current.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

The CFS comprise the financial statements of the holding Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 March 2022. The CFS also includes the Group’s share of net assets of the subsidiary and the Group’s share of profits.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has all of the below:

  • a) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

  • b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

  • c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • a) The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

  • b) Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

  • c) The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

  • d) The size of the group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights holders

225

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

CFS are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that group member’s financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with the Group’s accounting policies.

The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the holding Company, i.e., year ended on 31 March.

Consolidation procedure:

Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the Parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.

Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary. Business combinations policy explains how to account for any related goodwill.

Eliminate in full intra group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Ind AS12 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the holding Company of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost

  • Derecognises the carrying amount of any noncontrolling interests

  • Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity

  • Recognises the fair value of the consideration received

  • Recognises the fair value of any investment retained

  • Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss

  • Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

  • a. Business combinations and goodwill

  • Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organised workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their acquisition date fair values. For this purpose, the liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities representing present obligation and they are measured at their acquisition fair values irrespective of the fact that outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable. However, the following assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured at the basis indicated below:

  • Deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance

226

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

with Ind AS 12 Income Tax and Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.

  • Potential tax effects of temporary differences and carry forwards of an acquiree that exist at the acquisition date or arise as a result of the acquisition are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 12.

  • Liabilities or equity instruments related to share based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share – based payments arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with Ind AS 102 Sharebased Payments at the acquisition date.

  • Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

  • Reacquired rights are measured at a value determined on the basis of the remaining contractual term of the related contract. Such valuation does not consider potential renewal of the reacquired right.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date

If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss or OCI, as appropriate.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss in accordance with Ind AS 109. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of Ind AS 109, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate Ind AS and shall be recognized in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured at subsequent reporting dates and subsequent its settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for noncontrolling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate

consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the entity recognises the gain directly in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cashgenerating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted through goodwill during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date. These adjustments are called as measurement period adjustments. The measurement period does not exceed one year from the acquisition date

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

b. Investment in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the Equity Method

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining whether significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over the subsidiaries.

The Group’s investments in its associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually.

The Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the Statement of Changes in Equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

If an entity’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture (which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate or joint venture), the entity discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the entity resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

c.

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of an associate and a joint venture’ in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss

Foreign currencies

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the parent Group’s functional currency. For each entity the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The Group uses the direct method of consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the group uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of the following:

  • a) Exchange differences arising on monetary items that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in profit or loss in the separate financial

228

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

  • statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. In the financial statements that include the foreign operation and the reporting entity (e.g., consolidated financial statements when the foreign operation is a subsidiary), such exchange differences are recognised initially in OCI. These exchange differences are reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

  • b) Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in OCI

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a nonmonetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Group initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Group determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

Exchange differences arising on translation / settlement of foreign currency monetary items are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise.

Group Companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into INR at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. For practical reasons, the group uses an average rate to translate income and expense items, if the average rate approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in Consolidated statement of profit and loss.

Any goodwill arising in the acquisition/ business combination of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

d. Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet.

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 by the Group.

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 Group 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

229

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

Group 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.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties and unquoted financial assets, and significant liabilities, such as contingent consideration.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group 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.

e. Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Multimodal transport income

Export revenue and import revenue are recognised when the vessel arrives at the port of destination which is the Group’s completion of performance obligation.

Container freight station income

Income from Container Handling is recognised on completion of its performance obligation.

Income from Ground Rent is recognised for the period the container is lying in the Container Freight Station as per the terms of arrangement with the customers.

Project and equipment income

Revenue for project related services includes rendering of end to end logistics services comprising of activities related to consolidation of cargo, transportation, freight forwarding and customs clearance services. Income and fees are recognized on percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is arrived at on the basis of proportionate costs incurred to date of total estimated costs, milestones agreed or any other suitable basis, provided there is a reasonable completion of activity and provision of services.

Income from hiring of equipment including trailers cranes etc. is recognised on the basis of actual usage of the equipment as per the contractual terms.

Income from Logistics Park

Rental income arising from leasing of warehouses and is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Express Distribution

Income from logistics services rendered are recognized when control over the services transferred to the

customer i.e. when the customer has the ability to control the use of the transferred services as per the terms of contract. Revenue is recognized at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Others

Reimbursement of cost is netted off with the relevant expenses incurred, since the same are incurred on behalf of the customers.

Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis. Interest income is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straightline basis over the lease terms.

Business support charges are recognized as and when the related services are rendered.

f. Contract Balances

Contract balances include trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities.

Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Trade receivables are separately disclosed in the financial statements.

Contract assets

Contract asset includes the costs deferred for multimodal transport operations relating to export freight & origin activities and Container freight stations operations relating to import handling and transport activities where the Group’s performance obligation is yet to be completed.

Additionally, a contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers services to the customer,

a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

g. Government Grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

h. Taxes

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 in accordance with the applicable tax laws. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Management 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.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using liability approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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, except:

When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

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. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

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.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside Statement of Profit and Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI (Other Comprehensive Income) or directly in equity.

Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that date, are recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances change. Acquired deferred tax benefits recognised within the measurement period reduce goodwill related to that acquisition if they result from new information obtained about facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date. If the carrying amount of goodwill is zero, any remaining deferred tax benefits are recognised in OCI/ capital reserve depending on the principle explained for bargain purchase gains. All other acquired tax benefits realised are recognised in Consolidated statement of profit and loss.

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities

231

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Sales/ value added taxes paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses

Expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales/ value added taxes paid, except:

  • When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable

  • When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognised for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the concerned Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognizes MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The Group reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

i. Non-current assets held for sale

The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the

asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.

For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The group treats sale of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:

  • The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

  • An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

  • The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,

  • The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and

  • Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale to owners are not depreciated or amortised.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from other items in the balance sheet.

j. Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any cost attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Borrowing cost relating to acquisition of tangible assets which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. Capital work in progress is stated at cost.

When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is

232

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category Useful lives ( inyears )
Building 30 to 60
Plant and machinery 5 to 15
Vessels 8 to 10
Heavyequipments 12
Furniture and fixtures 5 to 10
Vehicles 8 to 10
Computers 3 to 6
Office equipments 5 to 7
Other tangible assets 3 to 7
Leasehold land
Leasehold improvements
shorter of
useful life of
lease term
30 to 999
the estimated
the asset or the
not exceeding
10years

The Group, based on internal assessment and management estimate, depreciates certain items of Heavy Equipments and Office Equipment over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

In case of foreign subsidiaries, the tangible assets are depreciated on a straight line basis, based on expected economic life of the assets estimated on the basis of internal assessment by the management which are lower in some cases than the lives prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Act.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

k. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Amortisation

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Estimated economic useful lives of the intangible assets as follows:

Estimated economic useful
as follows:
lives of the intangible assets
Category
Computer softwares
Useful lives( inyears)
3 to 6
Marketingrights 5 to 10
Brand 3 to 20
Non-compete fees 5years
Agent relationships
Customer relationships
2years
4 to 10years
Distribution Network 10 Years

An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss. when the asset is derecognised.

l. Investment property

An investment in land or building, which is not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

233

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Depreciation on building component of investment property is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rate arrived at based on the useful life estimated by the management which is 60 years.

Though the Group measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee or on the basis of appropriate ready reckoner value based on recent market transactions.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of derecognition.

Transfers are made to (or from) investment properties only when there is a change in use. Transfers between investment property, owner occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.

m. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs

n.

of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds neither its recoverable amount nor the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at 31 March and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and amortisation of ancillary cost over the period of loans which are incurred in connection with arrangements of borrowings.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs

234

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

p. Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group has assessed/ evaluated the impact of rent concessions offered during the break out of COVID 19 pandemic and considered its impact to be immaterial and applied the practical expedient mentioned in the amendment done to Ind as 116 “Leases” and considered such related rent concessions not falling within the scope of lease modifications.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for shortterm leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Rightof-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement 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. Group does not have any Right-of-use assets which are depreciated on a straight-line basis for the period shorter of the lease term.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group 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. Refer to the accounting policies in section (m) Impairment of non-financial assets

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group 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. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group 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 remeasured 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.

iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the date of transition. It also applies the lease of lowvalue assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense over the lease term.

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. 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. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Group to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

235

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

o. Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower. The cost is determined on first in first out basis and includes all charges incurred for bringing the inventories to their present condition and location.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost necessary to make sale.

q. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.

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.

r. Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extreme rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent liabilities recognised in a business combination

A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognised in accordance with the requirements for provisions above or the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the requirements for revenue recognition.

s. Retirement and other employee benefits

Current employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of availing employee services are classified as current

employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia. The undiscounted amount of current employee benefits such as salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia to be paid in exchange of employee services are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Indian subsidiaries makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund and Employees State Insurance Corporation (‘ESIC’). The contribution of these Indian subsidiaries is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which employee renders the related service. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme.

Some of the foreign subsidiaries of the Group makes specified contributions towards social security and pension scheme. These contributions are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, during the period in which the employee renders the related services.

Defined benefit plan:

Gratuity liability, wherever applicable, is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation done as per projected unit credit method, carried out by an independent actuary at the end of the year. The Groups’gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan. In relation to some of the foreign subsidiaires of the Group, provision for gratuity liability is made as per local laws.

Such subsidiaries of the Group makes contributions to a trust administered and managed by an Insurance Group to fund the gratuity liability. Under this scheme, the obligation to pay gratuity remains with such subsidiary, although the Insurance Group administers the scheme.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. The Group presents the leave as a short-term provision in the balance

236

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

sheet to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Group has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as long-term provision.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.

t. 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.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

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

  • Debt instruments at amortised cost

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

  • Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

    • Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
  • For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

i. Debt instruments at amortised cost

  • A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met –

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

  • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

This category is the most relevant to the Group. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (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 in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

ii. Debt instrument at FVTOCI

  • A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

  • The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

  • The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Group recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

iii. Debt instrument at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.

In addition, the group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The group has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

237

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

iv. Equity investments

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

If the Group 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 profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Group 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity investments made by the Group in associates and joint ventures are carried at cost.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from a Groups’s balance sheet) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets which are not fair valued through Statement of Profit and Loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. 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) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses’ in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

As a practical expedient, The Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

In order to hedge its exposure to interest rate risks on external borrowings, the Group enters into interest rate swap contracts. The Group does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The derivative instruments are marked to market and any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss

The Groups’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:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

238

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

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.

This category generally applies to borrowings.

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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

u. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Group uses various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, Crosscurrency swaps & forwards to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates and exchange rates. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are also subsequently measured at fair value.Derivatives are carried as Financial Assets when the fair value is positive and as Financial Liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedge which is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and later to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss or is treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a Non- Financial Assets or Non-Financial liability.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

  • Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment.

attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment.

  • Hedges of a net investment in foreign operation.

At the inception of hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.

The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:

  • There is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

  • The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value changes’ that result from that economic relationship.

  • The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Hedges of net investments

Hedges of net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as a part of the net investment. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion are recognized in OCI while any gain or losses relating to ineffective portion are recognized in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss. On disposal of foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recorded in equity is reclassified to the Consolidated statement of profit and loss (as a reclassification adjustment).

The Group uses a loan as a hedge of its exposure to foreign exchange risk on its investments in foreign subsidiaries. Refer note 35(B) for further details

  • Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either

239

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

v. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and 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 cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.

w. Cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the parent

The Group recognises a liability to make cash or noncash distributions to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Group. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.

Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value remeasurement recognised directly in equity.

Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

x. Earnings per equity share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit of the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

y. Reporting of amounts relating to subsidiaries operating in a hyperinflationary economy

A hyperinflationary economy is one that has cumulative inflation of 100 percent or more over a three-year period. In accordance with Ind AS 29- Financial reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, in case of foreign subsidiaries operating in a Hyperinflationary Economy, the financial statements are restated by applying a general price inflation index of the country in whose currency it reports before they are included in these CFS or by applying an exchange rate which approximates the exchange rate current as at the reporting date. Monetary assets and liabilities are not

measured at the closing exchange rate. The gain or loss on the net monetary position is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.4 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, 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. Some of the significant accounting judgement and estimates are given below:

Revenue recognition

The Group uses percentage of completion method in accounting of revenue for project division and vessel operating business. Use of the percentage of completion method requires the Group to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Percentage of completion is arrived at on the basis of proportionate costs incurred to date of total estimated costs, milestones agreed or any other suitable basis, provided there is a reasonable completion of activity and provision of services. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as lessee

The Group 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 Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group 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).

Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Group 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 Group 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. The IBR therefore reflects

240

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entityspecific estimates (such as the credit rating).

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity 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 and mortality rates. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 34 for further disclosures.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed

periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets.

Taxes

MAT credit is earned by the Group when the normal tax payable as per taxable profit is less than the MAT payable as per book profits. MAT credit earned is the difference between the MAT paid and normal tax payable.

Significant judgement is required to check the utilization of the MAT credit based on the likely growth in profitability of the Group and the likely additions made to the property, plant and equipment upto the expiry of the MAT credit earned.

Provision for tax liabilities require judgements on the interpretation of tax legislation, developments in case law and the potential outcomes of tax audits and appeals which may be subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore the actual results may vary from expectations resulting in adjustments to provisions, the valuation of deferred tax assets, cash tax settlements and therefore the tax charge in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

New and Amended Standards

i) Ind AS 103: Business combination

The amendment states that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards* issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. Therefore, the acquirer does not recognise those costs as part of applying the acquisition method. Instead, the acquirer recognises those costs in its post-combination financial statements in accordance with other Ind AS.

These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

ii) Amendment to Ind AS 105, Ind AS 16 and Ind AS 28

The definition of “Recoverable amount” is amended such that the words “the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use” are replaced with “higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use”. The consequential amendments are made in Ind AS 105, Ind AS 16 and Ind AS 28.

These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

A) Goodwill impairment testing at Multimodal Transport Operations business :-

The Group performs impairment testing annually at every reporting date. Goodwill as at the year ended 31 March 2022 pertains to Multimodal Transport Operations (“MTO”) business acquired and operated across multiple geographies and entities as part of global service delivery. Accordingly, goodwill is tested at aggregate MTO business level, treating it as one cash generating unit.

The recoverable amount of the MTO business has been determined to be the higher of: (a) fair value calculation using the multiples method (b) value in use determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF method) based on projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing is 13.95% (31 March 2021: 11.91% p.a.) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 1% growth rate (31 March 2021: 1% p.a.).

Key assumptions used for value in use calculations included EBITDA margins, discount rates, growth rates, capex for the period. The key assumptions in relation to calculation of fair value using the multiples method was the EV / EBITDA multiple. The above assumptions were based on the observed industry trends, projections made by Group’s senior management and past performance of the Group.

It was concluded that the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use were both significantly higher than the carrying value of the MTO business and any reasonably possible change would not cause the CGU’s carrying value to exceed its recoverable amount. Considering this, the Group has not recognised any charge for impairment of the goodwill.

B) Goodwill impairment testing at CFS business :-

The recoverable amount of the CFS business has been determined to be the higher of: (a) carrying value (b) value in use determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF method) based on projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing is 16.5% and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using perpetuity factor.

C) Goodwill impairment testing at Express Distribution business :-

The Goodwill arising on GATI business acquisition is tested for impairment at the end of the year. It pertains to Express distribution business which ensures assured delivery of goods and services to end users. Accordingly, goodwill is tested treating it as one cash generating unit.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is not always necessary to determine both an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If either of these amounts exceeds the asset’s carrying amount, the asset is not impaired and it is not necessary to estimate the other amount. Accordingly the methodology used in determining the fair value is based on the market price method which is the closing market price available as on 31 March 2022 on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange of Gati Limited since it is an listed entity.

It was concluded that the said fair value is significantly higher than the carrying value of the Express Distribution business and any reasonably possible change would not cause the CGU’s carrying value to exceed its recoverable amount. Considering this, the Group has not recognised any charge for impairment of the goodwill.

The Goodwill arising on CFS Business acquisition is tested for impairment at the end of the year.

Investment properties consist of commercial properties in India.
As at 31 March 2022 the fair values of the properties are1,11,457 Lakhs (31 March 2021:85,089 Lakhs). These valuations are based on valuations performed
by an accredited independent valuer. A valuation model in accordance with that recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee has
been applied. The Group has no restrictions on the realisability of its investment properties and no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop
investment properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements.
(`in Lakhs)|Total|40,816|29,877|14,396|85,089|12,377|13,991|1,11,457|The objective of using a valuation technique is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place
between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
The underlying land plot is valued independently based on the sales comparison/ market survey of plots listed on the market for sale and improvements on the
plot are valued for their depreciated construction cost.
In order to maximise use of relevant observable inputs and minimising use of unobservable inputs, Fair Value of the building is considered to be best reflected
as a summation of the land value estimated using sales comparison approach and depreciated cost of improvements using the cost approach.|

h) Hedge reserves (OCI)

Hedges of net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as a part of the net investment. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion are recognized in OCI while any gain or losses relating to ineffective portion are recognized in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss.

i) Share Option Outstanding Account / ESAR

The share based payment reserve is used to record the value of equity-settled share based payment transactions with employees.

In relation to one of the foreign subsidiary company of the group, an audit was carried out by the authorities which resulted in assessment of additional VAT liability along with penalty and interest aggregating to 169 Lakhs (31 March 2021: 78 Lakhs) which is disputed by the Group. The Group has made an appeal before the Tax Tribunal. Based on opinion of the Group tax consultants and the facts and matters of the case, the Group believes that in this there will not be any outflow of resources.

** The Group has received various show cause notices in respect of certain Service tax matters amounting to ` 6,008 Lakhs. The Group has evaluated the legal position in respect of the same and believes that it has a strong case and hence no adjustment are required in the Financial Statements.

The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term borrowings, bank overdrafts and other current 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, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

35(A) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include loans, trade receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Group also holds investments in debt and equity instruments and enters into derivative transactions.

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Group’s senior management is supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Group’s senior management that the Group’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that

financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, debt and equity investments and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021. The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt and derivatives and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant and on the basis of hedge designations in place at 31 March 2022.

The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign

287

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

operations. The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses:

  • a) The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021 including the effect of hedge accounting.

  • b) The sensitivity of equity is calculated by considering the effect of any associated cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary at 31 March 2022 for the effects of the assumed changes of the underlying risk.

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 Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Group’s policy is to keep maximum of its borrowings at fixed rates of interest. To manage this, the Group enters into interest rate swaps, in which it agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. At 31 March 2022, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, Group’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest except one subsidiary which has availed at borrowings at variable rate.

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in variable rate instruments at the reporting dates would have increased or decreased profit or loss by the amounts shown below:

increased or decreased profit or loss by the amounts shown below:
Particulars Effect on Profit
before tax
Effect on total
equity
Variable rate instruments - decrease by100 basispoints 138 138
Variable rate instruments - increase by100 basispoints (138) (138)

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Group’s foreign currency borrowings.

The Group hedges its exposure of net borrowings in foreign currencies by using foreign currency swaps and forwards. The Group has applied the hedge accounting as per principles set out in Ind AS – 109 ‘Financial Instruments’ in respect of combined hedging instrument, designated in a net investment hedging relationship, used to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations

relating to the net investment in foreign operations. [Refer Note 35(B)]

Foreign currency sensitivity

The table below demonstrates sensitivity impact on the group’s profit after tax and total equity due to every 5% depreciation / appreciation in foreign exchange rates of currencies where it has significant exposure:

In respect of combined hedging instrument for the year ended March 31, 2022, that were designated and effective as net investment hedge, Gain / (loss) aggregating to 684 Lakhs (March 31, 2021 : 570 Lakhs (net of deferred tax of 318 Lakhs (March 31, 2021 - 306 Lakhs) has been recognized in other comprehensive income as Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) so as to offset the change in value of the net investment being hedged.

For the year ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021, every 5% depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Euro and INR, would have affected the Group’s incremental profits as under:

Currency 31-Mar-22 31-Mar-21
Euro to INR (+/-) 986 (+/-) 301
Total (+/-) 986 (+/-) 301
The above sensitivity impact gain (loss) is due to and liabilities denominated in above respective
appreciation or depreciation in the exchange rate currency, where the functional currency of the
of respective currencies, with all other variables entity is a currency other than above respective
held constant. Sensitivity impact is computed currency and entity’s with functional currency as
based on change in value of monetary assets above respective currency where transactions

288

Corporate Overview | Statutory Reports | Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

are in foreign currencies. This does not include the incremental impact of revaluation of intercompany receivables and payables. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The Group only deals with parties which has good credit rating/ worthiness based on groups internal assessment.

Trade receivables and Contract Assets

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Group has diversified customer base considering the nature and type of business.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 7.3. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group 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.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans and commercial papers. 47% of the Group’s borrowing including current maturity of non-current loans will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: 59%) based on the carrying value of borrowings including current maturity of noncurrent loans reflected in the financial statements. The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Group has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.

to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements

as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

Capital management

The Group’s objective for Capital Management is to maximise shareholder’s value, support the strategic objectives of the Group. The Group determines the capital requirements based on its financial performance, operating and long term investment plans. The funding requirements are met through operating cash flows generated.

35(B) Hedge Accounting

The Group has applied the hedge accounting as per principles set out in Ind AS – 109 ‘Financial Instruments’ in respect of combined hedging instrument, designated in a net investment hedging relationship, used to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to the net investment in foreign operations. Accordingly, in respect of combined hedging instrument for the year ended March 31, 2022, that were designated and effective as net investment hedge, Gain aggregating to 1002 Lakhs (March 31, 2021 Loss of 570 Lakhs (net of deferred tax of ` 318 Lakhs ; March 31, 2021 : 306 Lakhs) has been recognized in other comprehensive income as Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) so as to offset the change in value of the net investment being hedged.

Hedged instrument

Foreign Currency Term Loan of USD 260 Lakhs (Amount in ` 19,111 Lakhs) and Euro -USD Cross currency Interest rate swap.

Hedged item

Net investments in the wholly owned subsidiary (WOS) Company namely Allcargo Belgium N.V.

The USD Borrowings as at 31 March 2021 has been designated as a hedge of the net investments in its WOS in Allcargo Belgium N.V. This borrowing is being used to hedge the Group’s exposure to the USD foreign exchange risk on these investments. Gains or losses on the translation of this borrowing are transferred to OCI to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net investments in the WOS. There is no ineffectiveness during the years ended 31 March 2022.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the net investment creates a translation risk that will match the foreign exchange risk on the USD borrowing. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instrument is identical to the hedged risk component. The hedge ineffectiveness will arise when the amount of the investment in the foreign subsidiary becomes lower than the amount of the fixed rate borrowing.

12 Description of the method and significant assumptions used during the year to estimate the fair value of the options, including the following weighted average information

The Black Scholes option-pricing model was developed for estimating fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Since option-pricing models require use of substantive assumptions, changes therein can materially affect fair value of options. The option pricing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of fair value of options.

305

Annual Report 2021-22

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements

as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022

13 The fair value has been calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model. The assumptions used in the model are as follows:


as follows:
Stock Optionsgranted on March 17, 2022
Weighted average exerciseprice (in`) 85.00
Weighted average Fair value (in`) 88.82
Volatility(%) 54.02%
Dividendyield (%) 0.57%
Life of Optionsgranted (Years) 5.01
Risk free interest rate (%) 6.12%
  • 14 The volatility used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is the annualized standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the stock over a period of time. The period considered for the working is commensurate with the expected life of the options and is based on the daily volatility of the Company’s stock price on NSE.

15 There are no market conditions attached to the grant and vest.
