Note:
- i) For the purpose of calculating perquisites & allowances as a part of the remuneration of Mr. Ajit Gulabchand for FY 2018-19, the same was evaluated as per the Income Tax Rules, 1962 for Valuation of Perquisites read with the Income Tax Act, 1961 or any amendments thereto or any modifications or statutory re-enactment thereof and/or any other Rules or Regulations framed for the said purpose.

- ii) In addition to the above, Mr. Ajit Gulabchand was entitled to the following perquisites, which shall not be included in the computation of the ceiling on remuneration:
- a) Provision for use of Company's car for office duties and telephone and other communication facilities at residence;

- c) Gratuity/Insurances as per the Rules of the Company;
- d) One month's leave for every eleven months of service and such other benefits in accordance with the Rules of the Company;
- e) Encashment of leave at the end of the tenure.
As per the terms of appointment of Mr. Ajit Gulabchand, Chairman & Managing Director of the Company, the remuneration payable to him requires the approval of the shareholders with effect from April 1, 2019.
In terms of the amendment dated September 12, 2018 to Section 197 read with Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, where in any financial year during the currency of the tenure of a managerial person, a Company has no profits or its profits are inadequate, it may pay remuneration to the managerial person in excess of the limits specified, if the resolution passed by the shareholders is a Special Resolution. This is subject to inter -alia payment of remuneration being approved by a resolution passed by the Board, and in the case of a company covered under sub-section (1) of section 178 also by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and approval of the lenders in terms of Part II of Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, if so required. Further, in terms of amendment to SEBI Listing Regulations, the approval of shareholders by way of Special Resolution is required.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on May 9, 2019, have approved the payment of the remuneration to Mr. Ajit Gulabchand, for each of the 3 years from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022, as per the details mentioned in the resolution.

- i) The professional achievements and the standing of Mr. Ajit Gulabchand. The details of the same are provided in the statement containing required information pursuant to Section II of Schedule V of the Act.
- ii) The provision of approving remuneration equivalent to double the prescribed limits under Section II of Part II of Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, computed based on the Effective Capital of the Company has been done away with. In case of inadequacy of profits in the company, the remuneration for a managerial person can be approved by shareholders either as per the limits (single) specified under the Act or as approved by the shareholders through by a Special Resolution.
As on March 31, 2019, the computation of single limit of Managerial Remuneration for FY 2019-20 based on effective capital under the Companies Act, 2013 is `1.51 crores.

However, considering his current stature and standing, a well considered proposal for paying remuneration of `7.0 crores per annum to Mr. Ajit Gulabchand has been made, which is well short of the remuneration earlier approved by the Shareholders in the above said AGM.
iv) While proposing the managerial remuneration for Mr. Ajit Gulabchand, the remuneration trends for the private sector industry have been considered and IMA India's 2018 Executive & Board Remuneration Report presenting a summary and analysis of compensation trends in 248 Indian publicly listed companies has been taken into account. As per the Report, in financial year 2018, the private sector CMDs / Executive Chairman were paid remuneration of 7.9 crores per annum at a median level. A quarter of the population studied under the Report drew remuneration over15 crores per annum.
Considering Mr. Ajit Gulabchand's industry standing and professional achievements, it is well justified that he be paid remuneration at least at the median level of the private sector industry.
The Members are informed that the Company has sought the Lenders' approval for the proposed remuneration for the period from April 1, 2019 upto March 31, 2022. The convening of Annual General Meeting was deferred in anticipation of timely approval from Lenders, which has been delayed.

iii) The Shareholders had in the Annual General Meeting held on July 6, 2017, through Special Resolution, approved an overall remuneration for Mr. Arjun Dhawan of `6,00,00,000 per annum for a period of three years from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2020, subject to applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
While the overall remuneration for Mr. Arjun Dhawan has been approved at `6,00,00,000 per annum, in view of the computation of limits under the Companies Act, 2013, he has not been in receipt of the overall remuneration approved for him, despite the fact that the overall remuneration was approved 2 years ago
iv) A remuneration of `6.16 crores per annum was being paid to the previous Group CEO, who was relieved from the services of the Company in the year 2017.
In contrast, Mr. Dhawan, while holding the position of Group CEO and Whole-Time Director of HCC has received remuneration of 3.37 crores and3.28 crores for the financial years 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively, being limited by the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
- v) While proposing the managerial remuneration for Mr. Arjun Dhawan, the remuneration trends for the private sector industry have been considered and IMA India's 2018 Executive & Board Remuneration Report presenting a summary and analysis of compensation trends in 248 Indian publicly listed companies has been taken into account. As per the Report, in financial year 2018, the private sectors Chief Executive Officers were paid remuneration of `5.40 crores per annum at a median level.
- vi) It is noteworthy to mention that the current Chief Executive Officer of the E&C Business and HCCs Chief Financial Officer, which are below Board level positions, are drawing remuneration of
4.22 crores per annum and3.60 crores per annum respectively, which is in excess of that being drawn by Mr. Arjun Dhawan.
The Members are informed that the Company has sought the Lenders' approval for the proposed remuneration for the period from April 1, 2019 upto March 31, 2022. The convening of Annual General Meeting was deferred in anticipation of
timely approval from Lenders, which has been delayed. The Shareholders' approval of the proposed remuneration will be implemented by the Company on receipt of the Lenders' approval, if so required.
The Board of Directors of the Company felt that considering his competence, subject matter expertise, enriched experience and his immense contribution to the business of the Company and considering the industry benchmarks, the aforementioned remuneration payable to Mr. Arjun Dhawan, Group CEO & Whole-time Director, is justifiable and therefore recommend the resolution at Item No. 10 of the accompanying notice for your approval.

Ms. Shalaka Gulabchand Dhawan
Considering Ms. Shalaka Gulabchand Dhawan's experience and competence exhibited by her while she was in employment hitherto, the Board had elevated her as a Whole-time Director of the Company in April 2015. Ms. Shalaka Gulabchand Dhawan has been actively involved in the decision making process with respect to the varied organisational matters.
Mr. Arjun Dhawan
Mr. Arjun Dhawan has spent a substantial part of the last 30 months strengthening the company's financial profile and re-positioning the company for growth. He spearheaded the recently concluded Rights Issue of 498 crore in a difficult capital market environment, thereby infusing a fresh dose of capital into the company, increasing the Promoters' shareholding and bolstering the confidence of all stakeholders in HCC. The Company successfully exited the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) scheme after a period of 7 years, substantially brightening its growth prospects. Bank guarantee limits, hitherto unreleased since the completion of S4A in January 2017, were sanctioned and released due to his efforts. Consequently, Project sites have begun to operate smoothly, and HCC is confident of building a robust order pipeline over the next 18-24 months as the Government continues its aggressive infrastructure rollout, while competitive threats recede. Mr. Dhawan was also responsible for effecting client settlements on cases pending for over 10 years which enabled the Company to raise liquidity of more than300 crore in financial year 2019. HCC has also repaid over `1,000 crore of debt under his watch.
Mr. Dhawan also led the completion and sale of a material highway concession asset, Farakka Raigunj Highways, to Cube Highways, with whom definitive documents were signed in November 2018. The transaction will generate a substantial return on investment for all stakeholders. HCC has also divested non-core assets in financial year 2019, including Charosa Wineries Ltd. to Quintela Assets Ltd., as senior management focused their energies entirely on the core E&C business.
As part of the strategic efforts undertaken by Mr. Dhawan to deleverage HCC and resolve its asset-liability mismatch problem, HCC announced a transaction in March 2019 which involves selling the beneficial interests in a portfolio of Arbitration Awards and Claims to a consortium of investors led by BlackRock for 1,750 crore in cash. The transaction will result in a substantial deleveraging of the company, with1,250 crore of debt being prepaid (leading to a reduction of 66% in debt servicing over the next three years), and a substantial cash infusion of `500 crore for growth.
Under his leadership, the Company has managed to restructure most of its contingent liabilities at Lavasa Corporation Ltd. via bilateral negotiations with lenders, which resulted in savings of over `450 crore. This action also materially ring-fenced HCC from the unintended consequences of Lavasa Corporation's admission into NCLT under IBC.
(4) Job profile and suitability
Mr. Ajit Gulabchand
A graduate of Mumbai University, Mr. Ajit Gulabchand has served the Board of HCC, as Managing Director from April 1, 1983 and was elevated as the Chairman of the Company in May 1994. Since then, he has been re-appointed, from time to time, for a period of 5 years each.
India is transitioning through broad based economic recovery after unleashing major structural reforms such as the introduction of Goods and Services Tax, insolvency resolution and bank recapitalization. The Government has begun the task of unlocking the full growth potential of the Indian economy and infrastructure will be the key reform pillars to make growth more inclusive.
At a time when the infrastructure sector, including HCC, is passing through financial stress and complexities, Mr. Ajit Gulabchand has continued to provide the strength and consistency of leadership needed to deliver a world-class business in HCC through an assertive strategy.
Mr. Gulabchand with his enriched experience in the construction industry has guided the overall growth of HCC for nearly three-and-half-decades. He has steadfastly steered the company and has been instrumental and integral to the sustained growth of HCC. He brought much needed energy and charisma to the Chief Executive's job ever since he has been at the helm of HCC.
Amid all the ups and downs, Mr. Gulabchand with his visionary zeal has pursued the course for HCC, transforming the company from a construction major into a diversified infrastructure group of global scale.
Under his stewardship, the company's businesses span across Engineering & Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure, Urban Development & Management; and the HCC Group of companies now comprise of HCC Ltd, HCC Infrastructure Co. Ltd etc. in India and Steiner AG in Switzerland.
To help the company grow on a solid and sustainable ground, Mr. Gulabchand ensured that the Company
invested in cutting-edge technologies, adopted best work practices and benchmarked against global operational standards to promote responsible infrastructure development in India.
The result is a business that plays a leading role in meeting the huge infrastructure needs of India, leveraging best-in-class equipment and technology, knowledgedriven processes and innovation-led next practices. Mr. Gulabchand's unflinching contribution has ensured the long-term survival and sustainability of the Company through challenging times for the Company.
While the infrastructure landscape has changed immensely in the last 35 years, HCC has remained a major and a leading player in the industry.
Under the leadership of Mr. Gulabchand, HCC's accomplishments include constructing over 25% of India's Hydro Power generation and over 65% of India's Nuclear Power generation capacities, over 3,800 lane km of Expressways and Highways, more than 335 km of complex Tunneling and over 365 Bridges. The Company's landmark projects include the Bandra Worli Sea Link, Mumbai − India's first and longest open sea cable-stayed bridge, Koltaka Metro, Bogibeel Rail cum Road Bridge across River Brahaputra in Assam (the 4.9 km fully welded steel bridge for which European codes and welding standard were adhered to for the first time in the country), Sone Bridge in Bihar, part of West Bound Ramp of the Kolkata Elevated Corridor, Farakka Barrage and India's largest nuclear power plant at Kudankulam - Tamil Nadu. Further, under his stewardship, the Company is executing Tunneling with TBM on the twin lines of Mumbai Metro, Highway Projects including Numaligarh Jorhat Section of NH 37 and Ramban Banihal section of NH44 in J&K and Anji Khad Cable stayed bridge in J&K, Railway Tunnel T13 and T14 in the Katra Banihal section of Udhampur Srinagar Baramulla Railway line Project in Jammu and Kashmir and part of the Mumbai Costal Road.
As the Company hit the growth trajectory in India across various business segments, Mr. Gulabchand had his vision set on globalization. Under his guidance, in March 2010, HCC acquired the controlling stake in Steiner AG, Switzerland, the second largest total services contractor in the Swiss Real Estate market. This was company's first international acquisition, which has witnessed a turnaround since taken over by HCC.
When the infrastructure sector was hit by multiple complexities and the industry was facing liquidity crunch in 2012, Mr. Gulabchand with his far-sighted decisions, crafted financial strategies that have helped the Company come back on the track. In order to get the Company out of the industry-wide liquidity crunch, it was imperative to restructure the Company's debt. In July 2016, the Joint Lender's Forum of the Lenders (JLF) agreed to resolve the HCC account under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines for 'Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A)'. The decision of the banks to approve S4A for the Company reflected their faith in the leadership. The company has also in 2018 successful floated the Rights issue and infused `497.57 crores in the Company.
Both the cases of financial restructuring reflect lenders faith in the leadership of Mr. Gulabchand and Company's longterm capability to deliver good returns and streamline the business.
In the present complex and challenging business environment, there is a continuing need to formulate competitive strategies and review the business on an ongoing basis to provide the much-needed impetus to bolster the growth prospects of the Company. This necessitates the higher involvement of Mr. Gulabchand in managing the overall affairs of the Company.
Ms. Shalaka Gulabchand Dhawan
Considering her contribution to the Company, it is justified that she continues to discharge the responsibilities with involvement in the affairs of the Company. Her guidance is necessitated to formalize business decisions which have a competitive edge over others. With immense home grown experience by her side, she will continue to oversee the operations of the Company and offer required support to the Company management to translate the business prospects into successful business ventures.
Mr. Arjun Dhawan
Mr. Arjun Dhawan is the Group Chief Executive Officer and a Whole-time Director of Hindustan Construction Company Limited. He oversees `10,132 crore (US\$1.6 billion) in revenue, 2,200 officers and 18,000 workmen at project sites across India.
Mr. Dhawan was named Group Chief Executive Officer in April 2017 and has since taken numerous steps to strengthen the operational and financial profile of the Group while positioning it for growth. HCC's operating structure has been substantially re-aligned to be leaner, flatter and more accountable. A highly competent senior level management team has been brought in, including a new CEO for the E&C business and a new CFO. Several key senior management members have also been retained despite a stressful operating environment. Mr. Dhawan has also introduced new risk management processes that will ensure tighter and more balanced commercial decisions, leading to superior business outcomes while simultaneously shielding the company from a volatile macro-environment.

(6) Comparative remuneration profile with respect to industry, size of the company, profile of the position and person (in case of expatriates the relevant details would be with respect to the country of his origin)
Mr. Ajit Gulabchand
While proposing the managerial remuneration for Mr. Ajit Gulabchand, the remuneration trends for the private sector industry have been considered and IMA India's 2018 Executive & Board Remuneration Report presenting a summary and analysis of compensation trends in 248 Indian publicly listed companies has been taken into account. As per the Report, in Financial year 2018, the private sector CMDs / Executive Chairmen were paid remuneration of 7.90 crores per annum at a median level. A quarter of the population studied under the Report drew remuneration over15 crores per annum.
Considering Mr. Ajit Gulabchand's industry standing and professional achievements, it is well justified that he be paid remuneration at least at the median level of the private sector industry.
Ms. Shalaka Gulabchand Dhawan
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors have felt that considering her contribution to the Company, it is more than appropriate that she be paid the aforementioned remuneration, in accordance with Schedule V of the Act.
Further, the payment of aforesaid remuneration stated at resolution No.8 is reasonable and is subject to the limit of remuneration as per Schedule V of the Act for financial year 2019-20.
Mr. Arjun Dhawan
While proposing the managerial remuneration for Mr. Arjun Dhawan, the remuneration trends for the private sector industry have been considered and IMA India's 2018 Executive & Board Remuneration Report presenting a summary and analysis of compensation trends in 248 Indian publicly listed companies has been taken into account. As per the Report, in FY 18, the private sectors Chief Executive Officers were paid remuneration of `5.40 crores per annum at a median level.
It is noteworthy to mention that the current Chief Executive Officer of the E&C Business and HCCs Chief Financial Officer, which are below Board level positions, are drawing remuneration of 4.22 crores per annum and3.60 crores per annum respectively, which is in excess of that being drawn by Mr. Arjun Dhawan.
Considering his competence, subject matter expertise, enriched experience and his immense contribution to the business of the Company and considering the industry benchmarks, the remuneration payable to Mr. Arjun Dhawan, is justifiable.
(7) Pecuniary relationship directly or indirectly with the company, or relationship with the managerial personnel, if any

III. OTHER INFORMATION:
(1) Reasons of loss or inadequate profits
With the entire Infrastructure development eco-system under stress in India, since 2012, there has been a considerable slowdown in construction activities. Primarily there are the legacy issues of the past more than seven years that have put individual players under very difficult financial stress. These relate to the adverse effects of the massive build-up of stalled and delayed projects in the country. This business environment has thrown up several challenges for Engineering and Construction (E&C) companies in India.
(2) Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement
Government of lndia has increased budgetary and extra budgetary expenditure on Infrastructure by around 20% for FY 2018-19, and within the Infrastructure sector, the focus areas of growth are clearly road transportation, railways, urban development and airports.
As one of the leading players in the lndian construction Industry, the Company has been exposed to the vagaries of the external business environment faced. The Company has continuously re-crafted its strategic positioning and calibrated its business objectives in line with the evolving business environment.
During the last year, this strategic Intent translated into further enhancing focus on the construction business. In effect HCC has had to strike a fine balance between maintaining pace of execution activities, closing completed projects and growing the order book while carefully managing the limited working capital available. The Company has also undertaken several initiatives to monetize or dilute its own positions in non-core businesses.
In December 2018, the Company has made a successful Rights issue and raised an equity capital of `497.57 Crores, which was also subscribed by the promoters of HCC.
(3) Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms
The Company has been working on various strategic initiatives to infuse additional liquidity and turn around operations of the Company, among others, as follows:
HCC has followed a rigorous process of working on collections where there have been deviations from project terms by clients and/or project delays due to issues on the client's side.
With concerted efforts, even while focusing on selective orders that meet strict risk return equations, HCC has successfully increased the order book of the construction business to `18,554 crore as of March 31, 2019.
In March 2019, HCC entered into agreement with a consortium of investors led by BlackRock, to monetize certain pool of arbitration awards and claims for a consideration of 1,750 crore. The proposed transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on March 26, 2019, and is subject to requisite approvals. Under the terms of the transaction, HCC will transfer its beneficial interest and rights in certain portfolio of arbitration awards and claims to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) controlled by a consortium of investors, including BlackRock, which will be utilised to prepay debt of1,250 crore. The balance `500 crore will be made available to fund working capital and business growth. Consequently, the balance sheet of HCC would stand substantially deleveraged, with debt servicing over the next 4 years being limited to its working capital facilities.
As mentioned above, the management has already taken and is continuing to undertake diligent efforts to step up the performance of the Company and barring the unforeseen circumstances, it is expected that the reinforced efforts would certainly bring about an improvement in the operational growth in future.

In terms of Regulation 31A(3)(a)(i) of the SEBI LODR Regulations, the applicant seeking re-classification is required to include the rationale for seeking the proposed re-classification and is required to satisfy certain conditions (such as not exercising control over the affairs of the Company directly or indirectly, not acting as a key managerial personnel in the Company and not having any special rights with respect to the Company through formal or informal arrangements including through any shareholder agreements) to be eligible for such re-classification.
Applications received from the relevant members of the promoter group include the rationale for seeking the proposed re-classification and confirm compliance with the requisite conditions as set out in Regulation 31A (3)(b) of the SEBI LODR Regulations.
As per Regulation 31A (3) (c) of the SEBI LODR Regulations, the Company is required to: (i) be compliant with the requirement for minimum public shareholding as required under Regulation 38 of the SEBI Listing Regulations; (ii) not have trading in its shares suspended by the stock exchanges; and (iii) not have any outstanding dues to the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the stock exchanges or the depositories.
Further, as per Rule 19A of the Securities contracts (Regulation) Rule, 1957 with amendments thereof, the public shareholding as on date of notice fulfills the minimum public shareholding requirement of at least 25 % and the proposed reclassification of promoters does not intend to increase the Public Shareholding to achieve the compliance with the minimum public shareholding requirements.
In view of the above amendment to SEBI LODR Regulations, Company had received revised letters dated January 29, 2019 from above promoter entities/persons reconfirming their intent for re-classification and the same was considered and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meetings held on February 7, 2019 and June 17, 2019 and it has been decided to have the above Members of the promoter group re-classified from the category of "Promoter" to "Public" subject to approval of stock exchanges.
The Board therefore recommends the Resolution set out at Item no.12 for approval of the members as Ordinary Resolution.
Except Mr. Ajit Gulabchand, Ms. Shalaka Gulabchand Dhawan and Mr. Arjun Dhawan who are related to one or more of the
aforementioned Members of the Promoter Group, none of the other Directors/Key Managerial Personal of the Company/ their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the ordinary resolution as set out at Item No.12 of the Notice except to the extent of their shareholding, if any, in the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
Hindustan Construction Company ('HCC' or 'the Company') is one of India's leading engineering and construction (E&C) enterprises, with a rich heritage of over 90 years. It primarily focuses on civil works and has a strong track record of executing large, complex infrastructure projects, many of which are of national importance. Today, HCC leverages its widespread knowledge base to deliver efficient solutions for its clients ranging from conceptualisation and primary engineering to project execution.
For the construction industry in India, Financial Year (FY) 2019 was a mixed bag. On a positive note, there were several market opportunities especially in the field of transportation related infrastructure development. Equally, the sector was plagued by several adverse challenges, including uncertainties related to sporadic regulatory changes, legacy issues related to high financial leveraging of companies and practical problems relating to the implementation of the new indirect tax regime.
In such an environment, HCC focused on three core objectives:
-
- De-leveraging and improving its cash flows and balance sheet;
-
- Streamlining business operations to further strengthen and develop its core E&C business; and
-
- Internal re-organisation in terms of people and processes and, thus, gear up to embark on a new phase of growth.
MACROECONOMIC REVIEW
The second advance estimates for FY2019 released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) in February 2019 revised India's real gross domestic product (GDP) growth downwards to 7% from 7.2%. Chart A gives the data for India's real GDP growth over the last five years.

Domestic economic activity decelerated for the third consecutive quarter in Q3, FY2019 due to a slowdown in consumption. For the whole year, while private consumption growth increased from 7.4% in FY2018 to 8.3% in FY2019, public consumption growth decreased significantly from 15% in FY2018 to 8.9% in FY2019.
Thankfully, growth in Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) remained in double digits for the fifth consecutive quarter in Q3 – with the growth rate increasing from 9.3% in FY2018 to 10% in FY2019. This was supported primarily by the Government of India's (GoI) thrust on the road sector and affordable housing.
The manufacturing component of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growth slowed down to 1.3% in January 2019 due to automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and machinery and equipment. Growth of eight core industries remained sluggish in February. Credit flows to micro and small as well as medium industries remained tepid. The business assessment index of the Industrial Outlook Survey (IOS) points to some improvement in overall sentiments in Q4, FY2019. However, the key indicators of investment activity – production of capital goods in January and imports of capital goods in February – contracted.
Retail inflation, measured by the year-on-year change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose to 2.6% in February 2019 after four months of continuous decline. This relatively modest uptick in inflation was driven by an increase in prices of items excluding food and fuel, coupled with weaker price deflation in the food group.
Despite softer growth, the Indian economy still remains one of the fastest growing globally and one of the least affected by the world economic slowdown. Notwithstanding this positive outlook, it is worth cautioning that the economy remains vulnerable to certain domestic and geopolitical risks, especially economic and political changes that can affect relative prices and hurt current and fiscal account deficits. While expectations of inflationary pressures remain benign, concerns have risen on the twin deficit problem — the current account and the fiscal deficit — especially as foreign portfolio inflows remain subdued while trade deficit stays high.
In the last few years, corporate India has been grappling with issues related to loan defaults and its effects on the availability of bank credit. Across all industries, bad loans more than doubled to over 10 lakh crore since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) started its asset quality review in October 2015. This led to a slowdown in credit growth as banks faced severe capital crunch. Public sector banks were the worst-hit, forcing the GoI to infuse around3 lakh crore since 2015.
The crisis in the banking and uncertainties associated with periodic regulatory changes have adversely affected investment related decision-making and the flow of credit. This has had a particularly adverse effect on the infrastructure development and construction industry, where typically investments are over a longer term.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION IN INDIA
The last couple of years has seen a gradual improvement in construction activity in India. After touching a low of 0.3% growth in FY2013, the construction sector stayed subdued till FY2016. A slow revival process began in FY2017 with 6.1% growth. In FY2019, the sector clocked 8.9% growth. Doubtless, this is better than before. But it is still insufficient to either meet the huge infrastructure needs of the country, or to help in creating the foundations for a 7.5% to 8% real GDP growth. Chart B plots the growth rates.

The GoI has laid considerable stress on on-ground infrastructure development. Indeed, some of the improvements over the last four years are evident on the ground.
Highways are a good example of recent development. The total length of national highways increased from 92,851 km in FY2014 to 122,434 km in FY2018. In the process, India emerged as the fastest highway developer in the world with 27 km of highways being built each day during Calendar Year (CY) 2018. India's rank on 'Getting Electricity' from World Bank's Ease of Doing Business has jumped from 137 in FY2014 to 24 in FY2018. Consequently, the energy deficit reduced from 4.2% in FY2014 to 0.7% in FY2018. The total number of airports in the country has increased to 102 in 2018.
Having said so, it is a fact that infrastructure development in India was plagued by various implementation issues — as discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis of the previous years. In the last 18 months, the GoI has recognised this problem and is now focusing on improving execution. In some sectors, it has started paying dividends. For instance, of 1,424 central government projects under implementation, each worth more than `150 crore, 101 have been completed between April-December 2018. This is quite an improvement over the previous years: the number of projects completed by March 31, 2019 is 50% more than the previous years. Of the 101 projects completed, 85 involved roads and highways.
Given the kind of economic growth that India needs, there continues to be a growing need for infrastructure investment in the country. The monetary value of infrastructure investment gap in India is expected to increase to `147,000 crore by 2023. Roads and water are the two infra- sectors which are expected to face largest infrastructure investment gap.
Much of this gap is to be supported by direct financing of the GoI. In fact, planned investments by the GoI increased at a CAGR of 13% over the last decade. Mega road projects such 'Bharatmala Pariyojana', introduction of schemes such as UDAN and creation of government fund for affordable housing are expected to fuel growth.
In FY2020, the Union Budget offered a large budgetary support for the infrastructure sector of around `4.56 lakh crore. Despite highways seeing the maximum projects being taken up during
the last four years, roadways were given a relatively smaller increment of 83,016 crore among the various infra-based sectors. Apart from National Highways, the GoI has increased its fiscal allocation on rural roads to19,000 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). Hopefully, that will lead to better PMGSY performance, because rural roads have been relative laggards: during FY2019 rural road construction under PMGSY was only 24,610 km versus a target of 58,000 km.
The Indian Railways received an allocation of 66,770 crore (US\$ 9.25 billion). Of this,64,587 crore (US\$ 8.95 billion) was for capital expenditure. There has also been considerable activity in the urban metro railway systems and regional aviation hubs.
During April 2019, certain regulatory changes were announced which provide a new impetus to hydro-power. To begin with, hydro-power was given renewable energy status, which provides for a fixed percentage of hydro-power purchase obligation from the power distribution companies. The new policy also provides for direct budgetary support for infrastructure creation and flood control related to hydro-power projects. It also provides for tariff rationalisation measures, including providing flexibility to developers to determine tariff by back-loading it after increasing the project life to 40 years, debt repayment period to 18 years, and introducing escalating tariff of 2%.
HCC: STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
In FY2019, apart from the principal focus on continuously enhancing execution capabilities and optimising processes to deliver value to clients, HCC laid considerable emphasis on improving its financial strength, reducing debt and improving cash flows.
In this, there were four major developments during the year.
First, in September 2018, HCC Concessions Ltd, a step down subsidiary of HCC, executed a definitive agreement for 100% equity stake sale of Farakka-Raiganj Highways Ltd (FRHL), its concessionaire subsidiary, to Cube Highways and Infrastructure II Pte. Ltd, an entity based in Singapore. Subject to requisite approvals, the transaction is worth `372 crore, which will also have certain closing financial adjustments. Further, certain additional amounts may be received by HCC based on contingencies such as completion of the balance section of the project highway, resolution of some disputes with NHAl and certain earn-outs which, individually or in aggregate, may have a significant impact.
Second, in December 2018, HCC received applications worth 551.38 crore pursuant to its Rights lssue of equity shares. The issue was oversubscribed with 110.74% valid applications received for up to 497,565,318 equity shares of face value of1 each at an Issue Price of 10 per Equity Share. Consequent to the Rights Issue, the paid-up share capital of the Company has increased from101.55 crore to `151.30 crore.
Third, in February 2019, 100% stake in the non-core business of Charosa Winery was sold by HCC Real Estate Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Company) through a definitive agreement to Quintela Assets Ltd and Grover Zampa Vineyards Ltd. While in terms of financial materiality this is not a significant development, it signals the Company's clear intent to focus on its core business.
Fourth, in March 2019, HCC entered into agreement with a consortium of investors to monetize an identified pool of arbitration awards and claims for a consideration of `1,750 crore. The proposed transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on March 26, 2019, and is subject to requisite approvals.
Under the terms of the transaction, HCC will transfer its beneficial interest and rights in an identified portfolio of arbitration awards and claims to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) controlled by a consortium of investors, including BlackRock. The financial proceeds from this transfer will be utilised to prepay debt of 1,250 crore, including its entire term loan of942 crore which is due in the next three years and 308 crore of optional convertible debentures (OCDs). The balance500 crore will be used to fund working capital and business growth. Consequently, HCC's balance sheet should stand substantially deleveraged, with debt servicing over the next four years being limited to its working capital facilities. The effect of this transaction on the Company's balance sheet will come into play in the next financial year, or FY2020.
The other major development relates to the Company's strategic investment in the township project – Lavasa.
After prolonged and concerted efforts with lenders not yielding a concrete resolution plan, the National Corporate Law Tribunal (NCLT) through its order dated 30 August 2018, admitted a plea filed by operational creditors initiating a Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against Lavasa Corporation Limited under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
Lavasa is jointly held by four shareholders: HCC (68.7%), the Avantha Group (17.18%), Venkateshwara Hatcheries (7.81%) and Mr. Vithal Maniar (6.29%).
HCC has written off its entire investment of 1,046 crore in Lavasa Corporation as a matter of prudence after its admission into NCLT under IBC. The write-off has no impact on HCC cash flows. Furthermore, HCC has fully accounted for all of its contingent liability obligations given to Lavasa lenders, including corporate guarantees and put options. A substantial majority of these obligations have been restructured for514 crore at benign, non-cash interest rates, thereby resulting in immediate savings to the company.
The sum total impact of all write-offs in the quarter, adjusted for tax, is `1,531 crore. Having comprehensively accounted for its entire exposure in Lavasa, HCC expects no further impact on account of its erstwhile subsidiary.
In view of Lavasa being referred to NCLT and consequential loss of control by HCC on Lavasa management, the accounts of Lavasa which were appearing in consolidated accounts of HCC have been de-consolidated with effect from April 01, 2018.
While shareholders' interests have been sacrificed, HCC has exited the project with the hope that its pioneering efforts to grow Lavasa into a thriving smart city will now find stewardship in the hands of a new owner, enabled by the NCLT.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
The Company's core business primarily comprises Engineering and Construction (E&C) services for large projects across sectors like Power (Hydro, Nuclear, Thermal), Transportation
(Roads, Bridges, Metros, Ports), Water (Irrigation and Water Supply) and Industrial projects.
During FY2019, HCC's activities in the business were driven by certain broad strategic objectives. These include: (i) augmenting internal capabilities in areas where the Company has deep expertise; (ii) managing and mitigating risks; (iii) being selective in securing new orders with focus on leveraging competitive strengths; (iv) continuously improving operational parameters; (v) carefully analysing and understanding contract conditions; and (vi) entering in well-structured joint ventures (JVs) to improve competitiveness and mitigate risk.
Overall, the strategy focused on growth with greater stress on profitability.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
With concerted yet selective bidding, the Company secured two substantial orders during FY2019.
In a JV with Hyundai Development Corporation (HDC), HCC has been awarded a contract of 2,126 crore by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), for designing and construction of Mumbai Coastal Road Project, Package II. HCC's share in the JV is 55% (1169.3 crore). The project is to be completed in 48 months. The scope of work includes design and construction of road, bridges, interchanges including reclamation and associated works between Baroda Palace near Haji Ali and the Worli end of Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
In a JV with the MAX Group, a leading construction company in Bangladesh, HCC was awarded US\$ 110 million (737 crore) contract by Russia's State Nuclear Company, JSC Atomstroy export for civil works of Turbine Island for Unit 1 of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant. HCC's share in the JV is 40% (US\$ 44 million or295 crore). The Rooppur plant, 190 km northwest of Dhaka, will be built with Russian technology and is equipped



with two VVER Reactors of 1,200 MW each. These are similar to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu — a project in which HCC has considerable involvement.
The Company's order backlog as on March 31, 2019 was `18,554 crore. Transportation sector continues to have a large share. There is a substantial pipeline of new orders up for bidding, especially in the highways, bridges and metro-rail segments. Chart C and D give the distribution of orders in terms of sectors and geography and represents future business potential.
PROJECTS UPDATE
Transportation:
During the year, several projects were completed and there was good progress on projects under execution. The notable ones are given below.
The Bogibeel Rail-cum-Road Bridge across River Brahmaputra in Assam was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 25, 2018. This 4.9 km bridge is India's only fully welded steel bridge under European codes and welding standards adhered to for the first time in the country. The superstructure of the Bogibeel bridge has been constructed using special copper bearing steel plates to reduce corrosion. Furthermore, due to excessive humidity in the area, a complex Corrosion Protection System specific to different components of the bridge has been implemented. To offer sound stability to the heavy spans (1,700 MT), seismic restrainers have been provided. The bridge is designed to withstand earthquakes of magnitudes in excess of 7.0 on the seismic scale

The other bridge projects inaugurated in FY2019 were the Sone Bridge in Bihar and the last part West Bound Ramp of the Kolkata Elevated Corridor.
In metro projects, DMRC CC-30 and CC-34 were inaugurated during FY2019.
Tunnelling with tunnel boring machines (TBMs) on twin lines of the Mumbai Metro is progressing very well. More than half the tunnelling work is already complete.
Work has substantially picked up on Highway Projects including Numaligarh-Jorhat Section of NH-37 and Ramban-Banihal section of NH-44 in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
Foundation and substructure work on the Anji Khad Cable stayed bridge in J&K is underway. There has been good progress

on Railway Tunnel T13 and T14 in the Katra-Banihal section of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Line Project.
Hydro Power:
During FY2019, the 330 MW Kishanganga hydro-electric project (HEP) in J&K and the 110 MW Pare HEP in Arunachal Pradesh were successfully commissioned.

Kishanganga HEP, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is the largest EPC contract awarded by NHPC. The HCC team created a world record of the first successful TBM operation in the Himalayas and accomplished a national record by achieving the 'highest tunnel progress in a month' of 816 meter in November 2012. While doing so, the team successfully overcame several complex geological and engineering challenges. The Kishanganga HEP has received the Dun & Bradstreet Infrastructure Award in the Power Category.
The Company has several HEPs under construction. These include the Vishnugad-Pipalkoti HEP, where the TBM that is being installed will be of the largest diameter in India till date. Other HEPs include the Tehri Pumped Storage project, the Tapovan-Vishnugad HEP, the Nikachhu HEP — all of which are ready for a substantial pick up in work activity. The Sawra-Kuddu HEP is also under progress.
Nuclear Power:
Civil and structural works continued for the three nuclear facilities: (i) the Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Facility (FRFCF) at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, (ii) the Rajasthan Atomic Power

Project, and (iii) the Integrated Nuclear Recycle Plant for Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) at Tarapur.
The FRFCF at Kalpakkam achieved a significant milestone by completing a continuous concrete pour of 8,000 m3 of temperature controlled concrete for construction of a raft. After erection of 346 MT dome for Unit 7 of Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant, the second dome was successfully erected for Unit 8 in the second half of FY2019. HCC has completed 20 stainless steel tanks out of a total of 65 at BARC, Tarapur.
Water Supply and Irrigation:
Work on a turnkey EPC contract for the Parwan Dam and Tunnel in Rajasthan and Bistan Lift Irrigation in Madhya Pradesh is progressing well. The first milestone of completing excavation and starting concreting work of the Parwan Dam was achieved 20 days ahead of schedule.
Package 10 of Pranahita Chevella Lift Irrigation Scheme, (now renamed Kaleshwaram Project) is at an advanced stage of completion.
Marine Works:
Work on the reconstruction of Dry Dock and Wharves in Mumbai for the Director General Naval Project is nearing completion. Civil works of the dry dock and both wharves have been completed. Fabrication of the biggest caisson gates for the Indian Naval dry dock was completed in December 2018.

Fittings of electromechanical equipment are in advanced stage of completion.
RECOVERY OF CLIENT RECEIVABLES

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
HCC's entire construction operations are optimised and governed through an Integrated Management System (IMS) based on standards stipulated by ISO 9001 for Quality; ISO 14001 for Environment, and BS OHSAS 18001 for Occupational Health and Safety. HCC implemented IMS at all their construction sites. During the beginning of 2018, the Company specifically underwent the transition stage for updating its two systems: Quality Management System - QMS (ISO 9001:2015) and Environment Management System - EMS (ISO14001:2015), which are an integral part of its IMS.
The Company strongly believes in delivering quality products to its customers; and the backbone of delivering quality is the Company's processes and systems. To deliver on this objective, HCC has established SAP-QM (quality management) module at all sites for monitoring quality.
The Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control Procedure (HIRAC) procedure was revised. A new procedure, called the Zero Tolerance and Reward system, has played an instrumental role in reducing accidents. To institutionalise processes that help the Company maintain highest safety standards, a Proactive Safety Observation Programme (PSOP) has been implemented across all construction sites. This programme has started paying dividend in terms of reduction in overall incidents at sites. Along with the earlier method and subsequent to the successful implementation of PSOP initiatives, the team found that the root cause of every accident was 'Behaviour'. A new initiative named Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) was launched to mitigate the root cause of every accident.
In October 2018, HCC was awarded the 'HSE Excellence Construction Sector of the Year' at the India HSE Summit and Awards 2018, organised by Synnex. This year's initiative focused on spreading awareness regarding the importance of occupational safety and health for workplace ergonomics and employee health and efficiency. HCC also won the 1st runner up award in the Construction Category of the Corporate BBS Awards organised by Forum of Behavioural Safety in New Delhi.

4. Strategic Development
Pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the proposal for monetization of an identified pool of arbitration awards & claims (Transaction). Under the terms of the Transaction, the Company will transfer the beneficial interest/ rights in a portfolio of identified awards & claims of the Company (Specified Awards & Claims) to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) controlled by a consortium of Investors led by BlackRock (Investors) for a consideration of `1,750 crore.
The Specified Awards & Claims will not be considered an asset of HCC any longer and shall be free from all encumbrances. The Transaction does envision a claw back of value by HCC from the SPV if the recovery of the Specified Awards & Claims assigned to the SPV were to cross certain thresholds. HCC shall continue to take recovery measures/litigate the Specified Claims on behalf of the SPV. A partial write down of the net worth of the Company as on March 31, 2019 to the extent of `331.4 crore has been taken on account of the same. HCC will continue to retain a material amount of awards and claims with the Transaction being limited only to the Specified Awards & Claims.
As per the structure of the Transaction, the Investor-controlled SPV will issue Non Convertible Debentures (NCDs), which will be subscribed to by the Investors. The money received from the Investors is to be deposited in an escrow account and to be utilised for the purchase of the Specified Awards & Claims by the SPV from HCC.
The consideration received by the Company will be used to prepay debts worth 1,250 crore (comprising the entire Term Loan and a part of the Optionally Convertible Debentures) with the balance500 crore to be utilized for working capital requirements and business growth.
The book value of the Specified Awards & Claims, pegged at `2,082 crore, is more than 50% of the net worth of the Company.

Operations of Subsidiaries
i) HCC Infrastructure Company Ltd
HCC Infrastructure Company Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of your Company, develops and operates 'Build Operate and Transfer' (BOT) infrastructure Assets under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode with the Government of India. HCC Concessions Ltd (HCON), a step down subsidiary of the Company, develops Road Assets through SPVs created for the purpose.
Over the last 10 years, HCON has developed 6 projects, of which 2 projects were divested in the year 2015-16.
The two operational projects in the state of West Bengal, Baharampore-Farakka Highways Ltd (BFHL) and Farakka- Raiganj Highways Ltd (FRHL) earned operational revenue of 122 crore and107 crore, respectively. Both the projects witnessed good traffic growth in first half of the year. However, in second half, traffic and revenue were affected due the restrictions / diversions imposed on heavy vehicles on account of major repair works undertaken on existing Farakka Barrage, a key link for both projects. Towards the year end, the repair works were completed and the bridge was opened for all types of vehicles which led to normalization of traffic. In coming years, both the projects are poised to continue showing healthy growth considering the strategic importance of NH34 for North Bengal and North-Eastern states. The balance construction work in these two projects is underway. In FRHL, substantial work is completed and the stretch is planned to be completed in this fiscal. In BFHL, barring the Baharampore Bypass, where there have been considerable delays on account of delays in land acquisition, rest of the works are almost completed; full completion including the bypass is planned by next year. In both projects, upon full completion, substantial revenue growth is expected due to higher toll rates attributable to the bypass section in each project. Apart from this, both SPVs are pursuing
arbitrations for various claims/disputes related to cost overruns, change of scope etc. raised on the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). BFHL has filed an execution petition for an award and counterparty NHAI has deposited `348 crore (75% of the said award) in court.
Another SPV namely Badarpur Faridabad Tollway Limited (BFTL), together with its Lenders, is pursuing a termination payment from NHAI after termination of its Concession Agreement in February, 2018 due to Force Majeure when the Supreme Court passed an order effectively preventing commercial vehicles from entering Delhi. The fourth SPV Raiganj-Dalkhola Highways Limited (RDHL) is actively pursuing termination and cost overrun claims through arbitration from NHAI post termination of its Concession Agreement due to a 5-year delay in land acquisition. Narmada Bridge Tollway Limited (NBTL) received an Arbitration Award of `39.19 crore during the year towards expenses incurred for repair & rehabilitation works. NHAI has deposited the 2/3rd of the award amount in court which can be released to NBTL on submission of bank guarantee.
HCON is continuously pursuing the interest of its SPVs by rigorous follow-ups of its claims and legitimate rights so as to preserve the value of its assets. In order to maximize shareholder value and provide for future growth, HCON has signed a Share Purchase Agreement to sell 100% stake in Farakka-Raiganj Highways Ltd. to Cube Highways & Infrastructure II PTE. Ltd in September 2018.
Keeping in view HCC's long standing presence in the infrastructure sector and the road network expected to be built in the country, HCC has plans to selectively bid for new PPP projects including Hybrid-Annuity-Model (HAM) projects.. The Company's strategy will include suitable tie-ups with strategic and financial partners with judicious use of capital that maximises cash flow and returns to the Group.
ii) Steiner AG, Switzerland
Steiner AG, one of the leading project developers, total contractors/general contractors (TC/GC) in Switzerland, offers comprehensive services in the field of new construction, refurbishment and real estate development. Steiner AG has successfully completed numerous prestigious international projects and plans to undertake similar projects in the future. Your Company owns 100% stake in Steiner AG through its wholly owned subsidiaries; HCC Mauritius Enterprises Limited and HCC Mauritius Investment Limited.
Steiner AG reported revenues of CHF 831 million (5,894 crore) in the financial year 2018-19 as compared to CHF 806 million (5,389 crore) in the previous year and a net profit of CHF 24.9 million (177 crore) as compared to a net profit of CHF 9.5 million (64 crore) in the previous year. The Company secured fresh orders worth CHF 831 million (5,896 crore). The order book stood at CHF 1.38 billion (9,654 crore) at the end of the financial year. In addition to this, the Company has secured orders for CHF 361 million (`2,562 crore), where contracts are yet to be signed.
Steiner India Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of Steiner AG, reported revenue of 79 crore and a loss of5.2 crore in financial year 2018-2019. Please refer the Management Discussion and Analysis Report for an overview of Steiner AG & Steiner India businesses.
iii) Lavasa Corporation Ltd. – Integrated Urban Development & Management
During the year, HCC has written off its entire investment of 1,046 crore in Lavasa Corporation Ltd. (Lavasa) as a matter of prudence, consequent to the admission of its 68.7% controlled subsidiary into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The write-off has no impact on HCC cash flows. Furthermore, HCC has fully accounted for all of its contingent liability obligations given to Lavasa lenders, including Corporate Guarantees and Put options. The sum total impact of all write-offs in the quarter, adjusted for tax, is1,531 crore. Having comprehensively accounted for its entire exposure to Lavasa, HCC expects no further impact on account of its erstwhile subsidiary.
The project had suffered a major setback after stop work notice was issued by Environment Ministry in 2010 and was under financial stress since then. After the failure to implement a financial restructuring / resolution plan duly approved by the Joint Lenders Forum (JLF) in 2015 due to a deadlock amongst lenders, the JLF invoked Structured Debt Restructuring (SDR) on Lavasa on 20th September 2017. The Company had been actively working in conjunction with Lenders to ensure implementation of SDR by finding a credible investor / partner, who could help in reviving Lavasa. However, consequent to RBI's stand on resolution of stressed assets announced in February 2018 despite all efforts, SDR process could not conclude as the deterrent factors were beyond Lavasa's control. Thereafter, an operational creditor of Lavasa filed application before NCLT for admission of Lavasa into CIRP under IBC and the same was admitted on 30 August 2018.
Deloitte was appointed as Resolution professional (RP) for Lavasa by the Committee of Creditors (CoC). Since it's admission into IBC, the RP has taken full control of the Company and is in charge of all the assets and operations being carried out in the City. The RP invited expression of interest (EOI) from prospective resolution applicants on 13th November 2018 post which 3 EOIs were filed with RP.
Lavasa has 10,514 acres of land including 455 acres of land on lease (as on March 31, 2018). Dasve town has comprehensive public infrastructure in place such as access roads, internal roads, water treatment plant, water distribution network, sewage network, sewage treatment plant, telecom network and services. Till date, Lavasa has given possession of 1,285 residential units and also registered 31 sub-projects with RERA, thereby complying with disclosure requirements. Tourism remained the mainstay of the project. With footfalls of over a million visitors each year, the city continued to be known as one of the favourite tourist destinations in Maharashtra for weekend retreats, water-sports, conventions, etc. In the hospitality space, the four hotels operating within the city with 253 rooms have reported competitive occupancies in the micro market. The 1,500 plenary capacity Lavasa International Convention Centre (LICC) hosted some grand conventions and conferences. On the retail front, a significant area has already been leased to various outlets mainly in the Food & Beverage segment. The Dasve Public School and Christ University are fully operational educational institutions in the city.
In view of Lavasa being referred to NCLT and consequential loss of control by HCC on Lavasa Management, accounts of Lavasa
which were appearing in consolidated accounts of HCC have been de-consolidated with effect from April 01, 2018. This was inevitable in view of no access to Lavasa accounts available and no support provided by RP appointed under IBC in providing requisite details.
While shareholders' interests have been written off, HCC has exited the project with the hope that its pioneering efforts to grow lavasa into a thriving smart city will now find stewardship in the hands of a new owner, enabled by NCLT.

These risks are further broken down into various subcategories of risks such as operational, financial, contractual, order book, project cost & time overrun etc. and proper documentation is maintained in the form of activity log registers, mitigation, reports; and monitored by respective functional heads. Review of these risk and documentation is undertaken by Risk Review Committee regularly at agreed intervals but at least once in a quarter and mainly during quarterly project reviews.
Risk Review Committee was successful in early identification of financial risk related to borrowing structure & cash flow mismatch due to late realization of claims lodged with clients. These risk were materially mitigated during the last year by implementing financial restructuring scheme introduced by Reserve Bank of India known as 'Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A)' with lenders successfully and issue of guidelines by Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) for release of 75% of arbitration awards in favour of infrastructure companies, respectively. Company has been able to realize substantial monies under CCEA guidelines from its clients. Monies received have been used towards payments to lender thereby reducing lenders dues. There are however some difficulties in providing additional guarantees towards interest top-up year after year under CCEA guidelines.
During the year, Company has successfully infused 497.6 crore as additional capital, by way of Rights Issue to support the cash flow mismatch. Proceeds of Rights Issue were used to fund its working capital requirements and for general corporate purpose. The Company has also signed term sheet with Investors towards transfer of beneficial interest in certain pool of Arbitration Awards and Claims for a consideration of1,750 crore to a third party,
a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Consideration so received will be used to pre-pay entire term loan and part of it Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCD's) to the extent of 1,250 crore and balance500 crore will be used to fund its working capital requirements. This will substantially deleverage the company and recurring interest liability on term loan will extinguish permanently. These two long term initiatives were discussed & implemented by risk committee during the year apart from other initiatives towards improving of operational efficiencies.
Company in its Notes to Accounts have disclosed risk management objectives and policies for managing financial and reporting risk (Refer Note 40 to Accounts).

ANNEXURE IV TO THE BOARD'S REPORT
INFORMATION AS PER SECTION 134 READ WITH RULE 8 OF THE COMPANIES (ACCOUNTS) RULES, 2014 FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2019.
A. Conservation of Energy
-
- The Company is continuing with energy saving measures initiated earlier like usage of Load Sharing System in D.G. plants, APFC (Automatic Power Factor Controller) panels, FCMA (Flux Compensated Magnetic Amplifier) Starter for Main Crusher Motors, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Starting System for Ventilation Fans & EOT/ Gantry Cranes and Use of Energy Efficient Motors in Gantry Cranes.
-
- With Specific focus on reducing carbon foot print by reducing cement content, making Portland cement concrete as sustainable choice by replacing part of cement with Industrial by product (Fly ash / GGBS). This helps as to produce more durable structures with less carbon foot print and conserves energy.
B. Technology Absorption
Efforts made in technology absorption.
1. Construction Research and Development (CR&D)
CR&D is being carried out with the objectives of continual efficiency enhancement, reductions in material costs, process development, improving speed, enhancement of construction quality and sustainability. These efforts are undertaken through interdisciplinary engineering within the organization and in technical collaboration with vendors, consultants, research organizations and academia sharing similar interests.
Some of the CR&D efforts are listed below:
- i. Optimizing concrete ingredients with specific focus on reducing cement content, reducing carbon footprint and making Portland cement concrete a sustainable choice. This is partly achieved using less energy intensive chemical additives, enhanced use of alternate cementing materials (like fly ash, slag, micro silica, ultra-fine slag etc.) and optimal quality assurance planning.
- ii. Controlled quarrying and crushing of aggregates for construction with an objective of reducing wastage and environmental impact.
- iii. Through the use of the philosophy of materials integrated design, maximization of locally available construction materials is achieved.
- iv. Development of alternate equivalent, less expensive construction materials from industrial wastes in close coordination with specialized vendors.
- v. Speedier Construction technologies as roller compacted concrete (RCC) for the construction of dams.
vi. Alternate feasible structural designs
(ex. alternate pavement design) with objectives such as improvement in the specifications, enhanced design life, reduced use of natural construction materials and improved sustainability.
vii. Construction methods such as pumping of concrete through 2.4 km for productivity enhancement.
2. Technology Absorption and Adaptation
- a) Efforts made towards technology absorption and adaptations during the last seven years are:
-
- Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Material and Construction Technology for Dam Construction, ŋ7HFKQRORJ\DEVRUEHG7KLVFRQVWUXFWLRQ material and technology were used for completing the dam construction at the Teesta Low Dam Project (TLDP-IV).
-
- Long-Distance Pumping of Self-Compacting Concreteŋ7HFKQRORJ\DGDSWHG&RQFUHWH pumping at Sainj hydel project in Himachal Pradesh for the lining of its headrace tunnel was accomplished using pumping of self-compacting concrete through 2.432 km. incidentally this also lead to creation of World record in pumping concrete through such long distance.
-
- TBM Tunneling In Himalayan Geologyŋ Technology adapted. For the first time, a doubleshielded Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) was used successfully to bore the headrace tunnel in the challenging Himalayan geology at the Kishangagnga HEP. A record boring of 816 meter/ month was achieved at peak.
-
- Incremental Launching of 125 M Double Decker Steel Bridge 125 M Spanŋ7HFKQRORJ\ being absorbed. HCC with its consortium partner from Germany was used the method for incremental (continuous) launching of ten spans of 125 meter each, road cum railway double-decker steel bridge over river Bramhaputra. This steel bridge is also unique for using welded connections.
-
- Composite Pavement Construction, 2013 ~ ongoing, Technology being adapted. HCC is making use of various pavement design methods, construction machineries and alternate materials to reduce the construction time and construction materials and increase the life of the construction pavements. Demonstration stretches have been constructed at NH34 and, while designs are being developed for the Indo-Nepal border and Numaligarh-Jorhat road projects.
-
- Use of 3D Analysis for Optimized Design, 2014 ~ ongoing, Technology being adapted. Optimized design of the powerhouse complex for the Tehri Pumped Storage Project is being done by using FLAC-3D Software in close coordination of experts from France and Canada is used in optimizing the rock supports.
-
- Dam Construction Using Concrete Faced Rock fill Dam (CFRD)ŋ7HFKQRORJ\EHLQJ adapted. A CFRD dam was being constructed at the Kishanganga HEP with expertise from Greece. Constructing CFRD at such height i.e. at elevation of close to 2400 m and working at sub-zero temperature conditions makes it more challenging.
-
- Continuous forming shutter for tunnel lining, 2013 ~ ongoing, Technology absorbed. Continuous forming shutter for tunnel lining is now being increasingly used. (VPHEP, TVHEP & Tehri PSP)
-
- Alternative pavement designs & erosion protection at various highway projects, 2013 ~ ongoing,
- a. Various cementitious, non-cementitious and polymeric soil stabilizers for improving soil properties were experimented.
- b. Alternative pavement designs using different soil stabilization strategies were implemented at various sections of NH 4 road project, Indo Nepal border road project, Numaligarh Jorhat road project.
- c. The technology of using coir mattresses is successfully adapted abrasion protection of embankment and alternative design options for road pavements are under implementation.
-
- Top down construction methodŋ\$W Assam road project top down Construction method is used.

-
- Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

- We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

As at 31 March 2019, management has obtained valuation of HICL from an independent valuer and relied upon legal opinion for certain receivables which are disputed by its customers. This involves significant judgement with respect to estimating future cashflows of the BOT SPVs, determining key assumptions, including the growth in traffic projections, operating costs, long-term growth rates and discount rates applied. Judgement is also required to assess the ultimate outcome of on-going dispute resolution proceedings with customers.
Due to the significance of the carrying amounts of the investment and the significant management judgement involved in carrying out the impairment assessment, this was considered to be a key audit matter of the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter

Management, based on contractual tenability of the claims, progress of the discussions and relying on the legal opinion obtained from independent legal counsel, has determined that no provision is required to be recognised for these receivables.
Considering the materiality of the amounts involved, uncertainty associated with the outcome of the negotiations/ discussions/ arbitration/ litigation and significant management judgement involved in its assessment of recoverability, this was considered to be a key audit matter in the audit of the standalone financial statements.

HREL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is presently holding 68.70% equity stake in LCL.
In view of significant uncertainties associated with the outcome of CIRP, the Company has fully impaired its investment in LCL and HREL aggregating 630.83 crore and also written off its non-current loans and non-current financial assets from LCL and HREL aggregating 634.36 crore.
Further, the Company has also taken over liabilities aggregating ` 745.94 crore pursuant to settlement agreements entered into by the Company with certain lenders of LCL in connection with the put options/corporate guarantees issued by the Company for borrowings of LCL.

Recognition of contract revenue, margin and contract costs (Refer note 2.1(xix) of the standalone financial statements)
The Company's revenue primarily arise from construction contracts which, by its nature, is complex given the significant judgements involved in the assessment of current and future contractual performance obligations.
Effective 1 April 2018, the Company has adopted Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the cumulative catch-up transition method. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue and margins based on the stage of completion which is determined on the basis of the proportion of value of goods or services transferred as at the Balance Sheet date, relative to the value of goods or services promised under the contract. All the projects of the Company satisfy the criteria for recognition of revenue over time (using the percentage of completion method) since the control of the overall asset (property/ site / project) lies with the customer who directs the Company. Further, the Company has assessed that its does not have any alternate use of these assets.
The recognition of contract revenue, contract costs and the resultant profit/loss therefore rely on the estimates in relation to forecast contract revenue and the total cost. These contract estimates are reviewed by the management on a periodic basis. In doing so, the management is required to exercise judgement in its assessment of the valuation of contract variations and claims and liquidated damages as well as the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
-
- In preparing the 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 Financial Statements
-
- Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
-
- As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

- 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 of the current period 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.
Other Matter
- We did not audit the financial statements / financial information of eight (8) joint operations included in the standalone financial statements of the Company whose financial statements / financial information reflect total assets and net liabilities of
70.17 crore and66.08
crore, respectively as at 31 March 2019 and total revenues and net cash inflows of 23.25 crore and 4.19 crore, respectively for the year ended on that date, as considered in the standalone financial statements. This financial statements / financial information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management.
Further, of these joint operations, financial statement/ financial information of four (4) joint operations have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company's management has converted the financial statements / financial information of such joint operations in accordance with Ind AS. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Company's management. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these joint operations are solely based on report of the other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the Company's management and audited by us.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements, and our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below, is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Based on the audit procedures performed for the purpose of reporting a true and fair view on the standalone financial statements of the Company and taking into consideration the information and explanations given to us and the books of account and other records examined by us in the normal course of audit, and to the best of our knowledge and belief, we report that:

ANNEXURE II TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Independent Auditor's report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
- In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of Hindustan Construction Company Limited ("the Company") as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company as at that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
- The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on 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 ('the Guidance Note') issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('the 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 the Company's business, including adherence to 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 Act.
Auditors' Responsibility
-
- Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting, and the Guidance Note issued by the 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 over financial reporting were 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 over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
- A company's internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting include 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 over Financial Reporting
- Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting as at 31 March 2019, based on 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 and the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2019.

NOTE 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
Hindustan Construction Company Limited ("the Company" or "HCC") is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India. The Company having CIN L45200MH1926PLC001228, is principally engaged in the business of providing engineering and construction services. Its shares are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India - the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is located at Hincon House, LBS Marg, Vikhroli (West), Mumbai - 400 083, India.
The standalone financial statements ("the financial statements") of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2019 were authorised for issue in accordance with resolution of the Board of Directors on 9 May 2019.
NOTE 2.1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
i Basis of Preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as amended from time to time.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of certain financial assets and liabilities and share based payments which have been measured at fair value, on an accrual basis of accounting.
The Company's financial statements are reported in Indian Rupees, which is also the Company's functional currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest crores (INR 0,000,000), except when otherwise indicated. Amount presented as "0.00*" are non zero numbers rounded off in crore.
The statement of cash flow has been prepared under the indirect method as set out in Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 7) statement of cash flows.
ii Operating cycle for current and non-current classification:
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current, wherever applicable, as per the operating cycle of the Company as per the guidance set out in Schedule III to the Act. Operating cycle for the business activities of the Company covers the duration of the project / contract / service including the defect liability period, wherever applicable, and extends upto the realisation of receivables (including retention monies) within the credit period normally applicable to the respective project.
iii Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind
AS, requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the results of operation during the reported period. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates which are recognised in the period in which they are determined.
iv Key accounting estimates and assumptions
The key estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
a. Contract estimates
The Company, being a part of construction industry, prepares budgets in respect of each project to compute project profitability. The two major components of contract estimate are 'claims arising during construction period' (described below) and 'budgeted costs to complete the contract'. While estimating these components various assumptions are considered by the management such as (i) Work will be executed in the manner expected so that the project is completed timely (ii) consumption norms will remain same (iii) Assets will operate at the same level of productivity as determined (iv) Wastage will not exceed the normal % as determined etc. (v) Estimates for contingencies (vi) There will be no change in design and the geological factors will be same as communicated and (vii) price escalations etc. Due to such complexities involved in the budgeting process, contract estimates are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
b. Recoverability of claims
The Company has claims in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work etc., which are at various stages of negotiation/discussion with the clients or under arbitration. The realisability of these claims are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience with similar claims as well as legal opinion obtained from internal and external experts, wherever necessary. Changes in facts of the case or the legal framework may impact realisability of these claims.
c. Valuation of investment in/ loans to subsidiaries/joint ventures
The Company has performed valuation for its investments in equity of certain subsidiaries and joint ventures for assessing whether there is any impairment in the fair value. When the fair value of investments in subsidiaries cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. Similar assessment is carried for exposure of the nature of loans and interest receivable thereon. 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 expected earnings in future years, liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of these investments.
d. Deferred tax assets
In assessing the realisability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
e. Defined benefit plans
The cost and present value of the gratuity obligation and compensated absences 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, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
f. Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as result of a past event and it is probable that the outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent
liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
v Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, at fair value at each balance sheet date. (Refer Note 38)
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.
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 is 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 categorized 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 prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
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.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company's accounting policies. For this analysis, the Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Management also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
vi Property, Plant and Equipment (Tangible Assets)
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition including attributable interest and finance costs, if any, till the date of acquisition/ installation of the assets less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Subsequent expenditure relating to Property, Plant and Equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use and the resultant gain or loss are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
vii Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress, representing expenditure incurred in respect of assets under development and not ready for their intended use, are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, related borrowing cost and other direct expenditure.
viii Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets mainly comprise of license fees and implementation cost for software and other application software acquired / developed for in-house use.
ix Asset classified as held for sale
Assets that are available for immediate sale and where the sale is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification are considered and classified as assets held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of asset held for sale has been estimated using observable inputs such as price quotations.
x Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided for property, plant and equipment so as to expense the cost less residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, except Building and sheds which is depreciated using WDV method. Intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use, over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as mentioned below:
| Asset category |
Useful life (in years) |
Basis of determination of useful lives^ |
|---|---|---|
| Building and sheds |
3 to 60 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Plant and equipment |
2 to 14 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Furniture and fixtures |
10 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Heavy Vehicles |
3 to 12 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Light Vehicles |
8 to 10 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Office equipment |
5 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Helicopter / Aircraft |
12 to18 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Speed boat | 13 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Computers | 3 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Intangible (Computer software) |
3 to 5 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
^ Useful lives of asset classes determined by management estimate, which are generally lower than those prescribed under Schedule II to the Act are supported by internal technical assessment of useful lives.
The estimated useful life and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis, from the date on which asset is ready to use.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing
proceeds with carrying amount. These are accounted in the Statement of Profit and Loss under Other income and Other expenses.
xi Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are recognised at cost as per Ind AS 27 except where investments accounted for at cost shall be accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 105, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, when they are classified as held for sale.
xii Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a Financial Assets
i) Initial Recognition
In the case of financial assets, not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly 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.
ii) Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
- Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model with an objective to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate ("EIR") method. Impairment gains or losses arising on these assets are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
- Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets are measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI') if these financial assets are held within a business model with an objective to hold these assets
in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
In respect of equity investments (other than for investment in subsidiaries and associates) which are not held for trading, the Company has made an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of such instruments in OCI. Such an election is made by the Company on an instrument by instrument basis at the time of transition for existing equity instruments/ initial recognition for new equity instruments.
Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI is carried at FVPL.
iii) Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the expected credit loss ("ECL") model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures.
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The
12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iv) De-recognition of Financial Assets
The Company de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
b Equity Instruments and Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
i) Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments which are issued for cash are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Equity instruments which are issued for consideration other than cash are recorded at fair value of the equity instrument.
ii) Financial Liabilities
- Initial Recognition
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and borrowings and payables 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.
- Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below.
- Financial liabilities at FVPL
Financial liabilities at FVPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation. Amortisation is recognised as finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
- Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Where the Company issues optionally convertible debenture, the fair value of the liability portion of such debentures is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible debenture. This value is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption of the debentures. The remainder of the proceeds is attributable to the equity portion of the instrument. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity (net of income tax) and are not subsequently remeasured.
Where the terms of a financial liability is renegotiated and the Company issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss;
measured as a difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of equity instrument issued.
- De-recognition of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. 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 de-recognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
xiii Employee Benefits
a Defined Contribution Plan
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as provident fund, employees' state insurance, labour welfare fund and superannuation scheme are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. Company's provident fund contribution, in respect of certain employees, is made to a government administered fund and charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further obligations beyond the monthly contributions.
b Defined Benefit Plan
In respect of certain employees, provident fund contributions are made to a trust administered by the Company. The interest rate payable to the members of the trust shall not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Company. Accordingly, the contribution paid or payable and the interest shortfall, if any, is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.
The Company also provides for gratuity which is a defined benefit plan the liabilities of which is determined based on valuations, as at the balance sheet date, made by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit
Method. Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of gratuity are recognised in the OCI, in the period in which they occur and is not eligible to be reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of plan amendment or curtailment. The classification of the Company's obligation into current and non-current is as per the actuarial valuation report.
c Leave entitlement and compensated absences
Accumulated leave which is expected to be utilised within next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. Leave entitlement, other than short term compensated absences, are provided based on a actuarial valuation, similar to that of gratuity benefit. Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of leave entitlement are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.
d Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as salaries, wages, performance incentives etc. are recognised as expenses at the undiscounted amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period in which the related service is rendered. Expenses on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised in the period in which the absences occur.
xiv Inventories
The stock of construction materials, stores, spares and embedded goods and fuel is valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined on weighted average basis and includes all applicable cost of bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is estimated selling price in ordinary course of business less the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
xv Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprises of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three month or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
xvi Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker regularly monitors and reviews the operating result of the whole Company as one segment of "Engineering and Construction". Thus, as defined in Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments", the Company's entire business falls under this one operational segment and hence the necessary information has already been disclosed in the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss.
xvii Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Also, the EIR amortisation is included in finance costs.
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.
xviii Foreign Exchange Translation of Foreign Projects and Accounting of Foreign Exchange Transaction
a Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. However, for practical reasons, the Company uses a monthly average rate if the average rate approximate the actual rate at the date of the transactions.
b Conversion
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported using the closing rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
c Treatment of Exchange Difference
Exchange differences arising on settlement/ restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalised and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the Property, Plant and Equipment and exchange differences arising on all other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Translation Reserve" and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.
xix Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from providing engineering and construction services.
Effective 1 April 2018, the Company adopted Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" using the cumulative catch-up transition method, applied to contracts that were not completed as of 1 April 2018. In accordance with the cumulative catch-up transition method, the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant. On account of adoption of Ind AS 115, unbilled work-in-progress (contract asset) as at 31 March 2019 has been considered as non-financial asset and accordingly classified under other current assets.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue from engineering and construction services, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. The Company determines the percentage-of-completion on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which we refer as unbilled work-in-progress) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as due to customers).
Advance payments received from contractee for which no services are rendered are presented as 'Advance from contractee'.
Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the contract scope or contract price. The accounting for modifications of contracts involves assessing whether the services added to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract, if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price
The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Statement of Profit and Loss.
xx Other Income
a. Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable Effective Interest Rate (EIR).
b. Dividend Income
Dividend is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
c. Other Income
Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
xxi Interest in Joint Arrangements
As per Ind AS 111 - Joint Arrangements, investment in Joint Arrangement is classified as either Joint Operation or Joint Venture. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor rather than legal structure of the Joint Arrangement. The Company classifies its Joint Arrangements as Joint Operations.
The Company recognises its direct right to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of Joint Operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.
xxii Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises of current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are rrecognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
a. Current Taxes
Current income tax is recognised based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
b. Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax is determined by applying the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible temporary differences between the financial statements' carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are
only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realisation.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, to the extent it would be available for set off against future current income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.
xxiii Leases
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the leased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Assets acquired on finance lease are capitalised at fair value or present value of minimum lease payment at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.
xxiv Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
As at each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognised in the previous periods. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
- In case of an individual asset, at the higher of the assets' fair value less cost to sell and value in use; and
- In case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specified to the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market
transaction are taken into account. If no such transaction can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.
xxv Trade receivables
A receivable is classified as a 'trade receivable' if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods sold or services rendered in the normal course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method less provision for impairment.
xxvi Trade payables
A payable is classified as a 'trade payable' if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods purchased or services received in the normal course of business. These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually settled as per the payment terms stated in the contract. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
xxvii Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company and weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares).
xxviii Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions (excluding gratuity and compensated absences) are determined based on management's estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In case the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. A contingent liability also arises in rare cases where a liability cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
xxix Share Issue Expenses
Share issue expenses are charged off against available balance in the Securities premium reserve.
xxx Share Based Payments
Certain employees of the Company are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined vesting period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants. The stock compensation expense is determined based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest using fair value in accordance with Ind-AS 102, Share based payment.
xxxi Exceptional Items
When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance
of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.
Note 2.2 Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA"), through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified the following new and amendments to Ind AS's which Company has not adopted as they are effective from 1 April 2019.
1. Ind AS - 116 Leases
Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases standard, Ind AS 17 Leases. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lessee accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17.
Ind AS 116 will come into force from 1 April 2019. The Company is evaluating the requirement of the new Ind AS and the impact on the financial statements. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 116 is expected to be insignificant.
2. Ind AS 12 Income taxes (amendments relating to income tax consequences of dividend and uncertainty over income tax treatments)
The amendment relating to income tax consequences of dividend clarify that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The Company does not expect any impact from this pronouncement.
The amendment to Appendix C of Ind AS 12 specifies that the amendment is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. It outlines the following: (1) the entity has to use judgement, to determine whether each tax treatment should be considered separately or whether some can be considered together. The decision should be based on the approach which provides better predictions of the resolution of the uncertainty (2) the entity is to assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all relevant information while examining any amount (3) entity has to consider the probability of the relevant taxation authority accepting the tax treatment and the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates would depend upon the probability. The Company does not expect any significant impact of the amendment on its financial statements.
3. Ind AS 23 – Borrowing Costs
The amendment clarifies that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings. The Company does not expect any impact from this amendment.
4. Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations and Ind AS 111 – Joint Arrangements
The amendments to Ind AS 103 relating to re-measurement clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it re-measures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to Ind AS 111 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not re-measure previously held interests in that business. The Company will apply the pronouncement if and when it obtains control / joint control of a business that is a joint operation.

Note 34 - The Company, as at 31 March 2019, has a non-current investment amounting to 1,559.28 crore (31 March 2018: 2.24 crore), non-current loans amounting to Nil (31 March 2018: 1,281.40 crore) and other non-current financial assets amounting to Nil (31 March 2018: 158.18 crore) in its subsidiary HCC Infrastructure Company Limited (HIL) which is holding 85.45% in HCC Concessions Limited (HCL) having various Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) SPVs under its fold. While HIL has incurred losses and consolidated net-worth as at 31 March 2019 has been substantially eroded, the underlying projects are expected to achieve adequate profitability on substantial completion. The net-worth of this subsidiary does not represent its true market value as the value of the underlying investments/ assets, based on valuation report of an independent valuer, is higher. Further BOT SPV's have several claims including favorable arbitration awards against its customers mainly in respect of cost- overrun arising due to client caused delays, termination of contracts and change in scope of work which are under various stages of negotiation/ discussion with clients or under arbitration/ litigation wherein management has been legally advised that it has good case on merits. Therefore, based on certain estimates like future business plans, growth prospects as well as considering the contractual tenability, progress of negotiation/ discussion/ arbitration/ litigations and legal advise, the management believes that the realizable amount of the subsidiary is higher than the carrying value of the non-current investments due to which these are considered as good and recoverable.
Note 35 'Unbilled work-in-progress (Other current assets)', 'Non-current trade receivables' and 'current receivables' include 416.49 crore (31 March 2018: 686.24 crore), 54.14 crore (31 March 2018: 123.39 crore) and 320.94 crore (31 March 2018: 214.38 crore), respectively, outstanding as at 31 March 2019 which represent various claims raised earlier, based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts and other receivables in respect of closed / suspended projects. These claims are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work; for which Company is at various stages of negotiation / discussion with the clients or under arbitration/ litigation. Considering the contractual tenability, progress of negotiations / discussions / arbitration / litigations, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables.

e) Quantities sensitivity analysis for significant assumption is as below:
Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation, keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant. The significant actuarial assumptions are discount rate, salary escalation rate and attrition rate.
The methods and type of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous year

II Provident fund
In respect of certain employees, provident fund contributions are made to a trust administered by the Company. The interest rate payable to the members of the trust shall not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Company. Accordingly, the contribution paid or payable and the interest shortfall, if any, is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee. In accordance with an actuarial valuation of provident fund liabilities on the basis of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of India and based on the assumptions as mentioned below, there is no deficiency in the interest cost as the present value of the expected future earnings of the fund is greater than the expected amount to be credited to the individual members based on the expected guaranteed rate of interest of Government administered provident fund.

NOTE 38 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the financial assets are included at amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
- (a) Fair value of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments
- (b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.

NOTE 40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
i 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. Major financial instruments affected by market risk includes loans and borrowings.
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 total debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company's profit / (loss) before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
| ` crore | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2019 | March 31, 2018 | ||
| Increase in basis points | 50 basis points | ||
| Effect on profit before tax, decrease by | 7.04 | 7.27 | |
| Decrease in basis points | 50 basis points | ||
| Effect on profit before tax, increase by | 7.04 | 7.27 |
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.
b Foreign currency risk
The Company has several balances in foreign currency and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years, which has affected the results of the Company, and may fluctuate substantially in the future. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.

Sensitivity analysis
The Company's exposure in foreign currency is not material and hence the impact of any significant fluctuation in the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact of the operating profits / (losses) of the Company.
NOTE 40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...contd.
c Equity price risk
The Company's listed and non-listed equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Company manages the equity price risk through diversification and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Company's senior management on a regular basis. The Company's Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.
Sensitivity analysis
As at 31 March 2019, the exposure to listed equity securities at fair value was 3.58 crore (31 March 2018: 3.26 crore). A decrease of 10% on the NSE market index could have an impact of approximately ` 0.36 crore on the OCI or equity attributable to the Company. An increase of 10% in the value of the listed securities would also impact OCI and equity equally. These changes would not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Company.
ii Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. The maximum exposure of the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables and other financial assets.
(a) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from two main classes of trade receivables i.e receivables from sale to government promoted corporations and receivables from sales to private third parties. Most of the Company's trade receivables are from government promoted corporations customers having strong credit worthiness.
| crore | % | crore | % |

| 6,057.07 | 99.31% | 6,408.45 | 99.01% |

| 6,099.38 | 100.00% | 6,472.81 | 100.00% |
| | | As at March 31, 2019 | As at March 31, 2018 |
(b) Financial assets other than trade receivables
Financial assets other than trade receivables comprise of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loan to subsidiaries/ employees and other financial assets. The Company monitors the credit exposure on these financial assets on a case-to-case basis. Based on the Company's historical experience, the credit risk on other financial assets is also low.
The following table gives details in respect of contract revenues generated from the top customer and top 5 customers for the year ended:
| ` crore | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2019 | March 31, 2018 | |
| Revenue from top customer | 538.89 | 410.43 |
| Revenue from top five customers | 1,751.93 | 1,850.52 |
For the year ended 31 March 2019, two (31 March 2018: one) customers, individually, accounted for more than 10% of the revenue.
iii Liquidity risk
Liquidity is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

NOTE 41 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The Company strives to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that they can maximise returns for the shareholders and benefits for other stake holders. The aim is to maintain an optimal capital structure and minimise cost of capital.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or adjust the dividend payment to shareholders (if permitted). Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors its capital using the gearing ratio which is total debt divided by total capital (equity).
| ` crore | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at | As at | |
| March 31, 2019 | March 31, 2018 | |
| Total debt | 3,299.72 | 3,725.40 |
| Total equity | 1,293.00 | 2,774.94 |
| Total debt to equity ratio (Gearing ratio) | 2.55 | 1.34 |
In the long run, the Company's strategy is to maintain a gearing ratio of less than 1.25.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowings that define the capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the lenders to immediately call loans and borrowings. Subsequent to restructuring of the borrowings, there have been no communications from the banks in this regard which might have a negative impact on the gearing ratio.
Note 42 The Company is principally engaged in a single business segment viz. "Engineering and Construction". Also, refer note 40(ii)b for information on revenue from major customers.

-
- In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') specified under section 133 of the Act, of the consolidated state of affairs (consolidated financial position) of the Group as at 31 March 2019, and its consolidated loss (consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income), its consolidated cash flows and the consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

The Board of Directors of LCL were suspended with effect from 30 August 2018, and the Holding Company and HREL therefore, did not exercise either control or significant influence over LCL from this date onwards. Owing to unavailability of financial statements and/or financial information of LCL and its subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entity ('LCL Group') for the period 1 April 2018 to 30 August 2018 ('cut-off period'), the financial statements of LCL Group for the cut-off period have not been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company
and the assets and liabilities of LCL Group have been derecognized at their respective carrying values as at 31 March 2018 instead of 30 August 2018.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Assessment of impairment of investment in joint venture (Refer note 36 of the consolidated financial statements)
The Group, as at 31 March 2019, has non-current investment of ` 137.23 crores in HCC Concessions Limited ('HCL'), a joint venture of HCC Infrastructure India Limited ('HICL') a wholly owned subsidiary.
HICL has an investment of 85.45% in HCL which has further interests in several Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) Special Purpose Vehicle's ('SPV'). The consolidated net worth of HICL as at 31 March 2019 has substantially eroded. Given the losses incurred by HCL, the management was required to assess its investment for impairment.
As at 31 March 2019, the management has obtained valuation of HCL from an independent valuer and relied upon legal opinion for certain receivables which are disputed by its customers. This involves significant judgements with respect to estimating future cashflows of the BOT SPVs, determining key assumptions, including the growth in traffic projections, operating costs, longterm growth rates and discount rates applied. Judgement is also required to assess the ultimate outcome of on-going dispute resolution proceedings with customers.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:

Uncertainties relating to recoverability of unbilled work-in-progress (other current assets), non-current trade receivables and current trade receivables (Refer note 38 of the consolidated financial statements)
The Group, as at 31 March 2019, has unbilled work-in-progress (other current assets), non-current trade receivables and current trade receivables amounting to 416.49 crore, 54.14 crore and ` 320.94 crore, respectively, which represent various claims raised in the earlier years in respect of projects substantially closed or suspended and where the claims are currently under negotiations/ discussions/ arbitration/litigation.
Management, based on contractual tenability of the claims, progress of the discussions and relying on the legal opinion from independent legal counsel, is of the view that no provision is required to be recognised for these receivables.
Considering the materiality of the amounts involved, uncertainty associated with the outcome of the negotiations/ discussions/ arbitration/ litigation and significant management judgement involved in its assessment of recoverability, this was considered to be a key audit matter in the audit of the financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Assessment of corporate guarantees invoked and put options exercised by lenders of Lavasa Corporation Limited ('LCL') and Warasgaon Assets Maintenance Limited ('WAML') against HCC Real Estate Limited ('HREL') (Refer note 37 of the consolidated financial statements)
HREL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, had issued corporate guarantees to lenders of LCL and WAML and accepted to act as a counter party for the put option issued in respect of the Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) by LCL. These loans have been secured through charge created on land situated at various villages together constituting "Lavasa Land" and hypothecation on the current assets including receivables of WAML.
Pursuant to the initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ('CIRP') against LCL and WAML by Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai ('NCLT'), the lenders of the LCL and WAML as at 31 March 2019, have invoked the aforementioned corporate guarantees and exercised the put options aggregating ` 3,868.69 crore
HREL's obligation on account of the above is dependent on the final outcome of the CIRP proceedings, which are in progress.
Considering the above, management is unable to measure the amount of obligation with sufficient reliability. Accordingly, as per Ind AS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the above liability has been disclosed by management as a contingent liability as at 31 March 2019 in the consolidated financial statements.
Considering the materiality of the amounts involved and uncertainty associated with the outcome of the CIRP proceedings, this was considered to be a key audit matter in the audit of the consolidated financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
Considering this matter is fundamental to the understanding of the users of financial statements, we draw attention to Note 37 of the consolidated financial statements, regarding assessment of the corporate guarantees invoked and put options exercised.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:
- ō 9HULğHGFRQWUDFWXDODUUDQJHPHQWVZLWKUHVSHFWWRWKH corporate guarantees invoked and put options exercised;
- ō 2EWDLQHGDQXQGHUVWDQGLQJRIWKHVWDWXVRIWKH&,53 proceedings against LCL and WAML from management as well as independently from information available from public domain;
- ō 2EWDLQHGDQXQGHUVWDQGLQJRIWKHH[LVWLQJXQFHUWDLQWLHV resulting in management's inability to measure the quantum of obligation with sufficient reliability and the consequent non-provisioning of liability;
- ō 2EWDLQHGDSSURSULDWHUHSUHVHQWDWLRQVIURPPDQDJHPHQWLQ this regard;
- ō \$VVHVVHGWKDWWKHGLVFORVXUHVPDGHE\WKHPDQDJHPHQW are in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Recognition of contract revenue, margin and contract costs (Refer note 2.1(xxi) of the consolidated financial statements)
Group's revenue primarily arises from construction contracts which, by its nature, are complex given the significant judgements involved in the assessment of current and future contractual performance obligations.
Effective 1 April 2018, the Group has adopted Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the cumulative catch-up transition method. Revenue for the Group, majorly comprises of revenue from construction contracts. Accordingly, the Group recognizes revenue and margins based on the stage of completion which is determined on the basis of the proportion of value of goods or services transferred as at the Balance Sheet date, relative to the value of goods or services promised under the contract. All the projects of the Group satisfy the criteria for recognition of revenue over time (using the percentage of completion method) since the control of the overall asset (property/site/project) lies with the customer who directs the Group. Further, the Group has assessed that it does not have an alternate use of these assets.
Our audit of the recognition of contract revenue, margin and related receivables and liabilities included, but were not limited to, the following:
- ō (YDOXDWHGWKHDSSURSULDWHQHVVRIWKH*URXSłVUHYHQXH recognition policies;
- ō \$VVHVVHGWKHGHVLJQDQGLPSOHPHQWDWLRQRINH\FRQWUROV over the recognition of contract revenue and margin, and testing the operating effectiveness of these controls;
- ō )RUDVDPSOHRIFRQWUDFWVWHVWHGWKHDSSURSULDWHQHVV of amount recognized by evaluating key management judgements inherent in the forecasted contract revenue and costs to complete that drive the accounting under the percentage of completion method, including:
- reviewed the contract terms and conditions;
- evaluated the identification of performance obligation of the contract;
The recognition of contract revenue, contract costs and the resultant profit/loss therefore rely on the estimates in relation to forecast contract revenue and the total cost. These contract estimates are reviewed by the management on a periodic basis. In doing so, the management is required to exercise judgement in its assessment of the valuation of contract variations and claims and liquidated damages as well as the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete and the ability to deliver contracts within contractually determined timelines. The final contract values can potentially be impacted on account of various factors and are expected to result in varied outcomes.
Changes in these judgements, and the related estimates as contracts progress can result in material adjustments to revenue and margins. As a result of the above judgements, complexities involved and material impact on the related financial statements, this area has been considered a key audit matter in the audit of the financial statements.

ANNEXURE I TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Independent Auditor's Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act')
- In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Hindustan Construction Company Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries, (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group'), its associates and its joint ventures as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting ('IFCoFR') of the Holding Company, its seventeen (17) subsidiary companies, an associate company and six (6) joint ventures, which are companies covered under the Act, as at that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
- The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its seventeen (17) subsidiary companies, an associate company and six (6) joint ventures, which are companies covered under the Act, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting ('the Guidance Note') 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 the company's business, including adherence to the company's policies, the safeguarding of the company's 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 Act.
Auditor's Responsibility
-
- Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the IFCoFR of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate company and joint venture companies, as aforesaid, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note issued by the 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 IFCoFR were 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 IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR includes obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, 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 qualified opinion on the IFCoFR of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate company and joint venture companies, as aforesaid.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
- A company's IFCoFR 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 IFCoFR include 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 over Financial Reporting
- Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, 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 IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that the IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
- In our opinion, according to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the Holding Company's IFCoFR as at 31 March 2019:
The Holding Company's internal financial control with respect to financial statements preparation process towards consolidation activity in compliance with the Ind AS 110, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and other accounting principles generally accepted in India were not operating effectively, which has resulted in a material misstatement in carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities and its consequential impact on earnings, reserves and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, as explained in Note 42 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
- A 'material weakness' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in IFCoFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Qualified Opinion
-
- In our opinion and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on IFCoFR of the five (5) subsidiary companies, an associate company and five (5) joint venture companies, the Holding Company, its seventeen (17) subsidiary companies, an associate company and six (6) joint ventures, which are companies covered under the Act, have, in all material respects, maintained adequate IFCoFR as at 31 March 2019, based on internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI, and except for the effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the IFCoFR were operating effectively as at 31 March 2019.
-
- We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and its associate and joint venture companies, which are companies covered under the Act as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019, and the material weakness has affected our opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group and its associate and joint venture companies, which are companies covered under the Act, and we have issued a qualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Other Matters
- We did not audit the IFCoFR in so far as it relates to five (5) subsidiary companies, which are companies covered under the Act, whose financial statements/financial information reflect total assets of
310.46 crore and net assets of0.66 crore as at 31 March 2019, total revenues of90.85 crore and net cash outflows amounting to3.75 crore for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements also include the Group's share of net
loss (including other comprehensive income) of ` 14.66 crore for the year ended 31 March 2019, in respect of an associate company and five (5) joint venture companies which are companies covered under the Act, whose IFCoFR have not been audited by us.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter with respect to our reliance on the work done, by and on the reports of, the other auditors.

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF RESERVES
i. Capital reserve
The Group recognizes profit or loss on purchase or cancellation (including forfeiture) of its own equity instruments to capital reserve.
ii. Forfeited debentures account
The Group recognizes profit or loss on purchase or cancellation (including forfeiture) of its own debentures to forfeited debentures account.
iii. Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares or debentures. This account is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the 'Act').
iv. Debenture redemption reserve
The Companies Act, 2013 requires that where a Company issues debentures, it shall create a debenture redemption reserve out of profits of the Company available for payment of dividend. The Company is required to maintain a Debenture Redemption Reserve of 25% of the value of the debentures issued, either by a public issue or a private placement basis. The amounts credited to the debenture redemption reserve cannot be utilised by the Company except to redeem debentures.
v. Foreign currency monetary translation reserve
Exchange difference arising on translation of the long term monetary items is accumulated in separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the life of the monetary items on a straight line basis.
vi. General Reserve
Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, a general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net profit at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. Consequent to the introduction of the Companies Act, 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn.
vii. Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represents the profits/losses that the Group has earned / incurred till date including gain / (loss) on fair value of defined benefits plans as adjusted for distributions to owners, transfer to other reserves etc.
viii. Other comprehensive income
The Group has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated in Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income reserve within equity. The Group transfers amount from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.
ix. Loss on Exchange Fluctuations
The Group recognised exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign operations in other comprehensive income and accumulated in 'loss on exchange fluctuations' in other equity.

Control exists when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, has power over the investee, is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
- Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, loses control of the subsidiary. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss from the date the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, gains control until the date when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, ceases to control the subsidiary.
- The consolidated financial statements of the Group combines financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries line-by-line by adding together the like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. All intra-group assets, liabilities, income, expenses and unrealised profits/losses on intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been harmonised to ensure the consistency with the policies adopted by the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements have been presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as Parent Company's standalone financial statements.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Parent Company and to the non-controlling interests and have been shown separately in the financial statements.
-
Non-controlling interest represents that part of the total comprehensive income and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company.
-
The gains/losses in respect of part divestment/ dilution of stake in subsidiary companies not resulting in ceding of control, are recognised directly in other equity attributable to the owners of the Parent Company.
- The gains/losses in respect of divestment of stake resulting in ceding of control in subsidiary companies are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The investment representing the interest retained in a former subsidiary, if any, is initially recognised at its fair value with the corresponding effect recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as on the date the control is ceded. Such retained interest is subsequently accounted as an associate or a joint venture or a financial asset.
b. Investments in joint venture and associates
When the Group has with other parties joint control of the arrangement and rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement, it recognises its interest as joint venture. Joint control exists when the decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control. When the Group has significant influence over the other entity, it recognises such interests as associates. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity but is not control or joint control over the entity.
The results, assets and liabilities of joint venture and associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using equity method of accounting after making necessary adjustments to achieve uniformity in application of accounting policies, wherever applicable. An investment in associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture or associate. Gain or loss in respect of changes in other equity of joint ventures or associates resulting in dilution of stake in the joint ventures and associates is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On acquisition of investment in a joint venture or associate, any excess of cost of investment over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the joint venture, is recognised as goodwill and is included in the carrying value of the investment in the joint venture and associate. The excess of fair value of assets and liabilities over the investment is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve. The unrealised profits/losses on transactions with joint ventures are eliminated by reducing the carrying amount of investment.
The carrying amount of the equity accounted investments are tested for impairment in accordance with the policy.
When the Group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the
Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
c. Interests in joint operations
In accordance with Ind AS 111 Joint Arrangements, when the Group has joint control of the arrangement based on contractually determined right to the assets and obligations for liabilities, it recognises such interests as joint operations. Joint control exists when the decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control. In respect of its interests in joint operations, the Group recognises its share in assets, liabilities, income and expenses line-by-line in the standalone financial statements of the entity which is party to such joint arrangement which then becomes part of the consolidated financial statements of the Group when the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are combined for consolidation.
d. Business Combination/ Goodwill on consolidation
The Group accounts for its business combinations under acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition related costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the condition for recognition are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Goodwill on consolidation is allocated to cash generating units or group of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
Goodwill arising on consolidation is not amortised, however, it is tested for impairment annually. In the event of cessation of operations of a subsidiary, the unimpaired goodwill is written off fully.
Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under common control are accounted at historical cost. The difference between any consideration given and the aggregate historical carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded in shareholders' equity.
- e. Notes to the financial statements represent notes involving items which are considered material and are accordingly disclosed. Materiality for the purpose is assessed in relation to the information contained in the financial statements. Further, additional statutory information disclosed in separate financial statements of the subsidiary and/or a parent having no bearing on the true and fair view of the financial statements has not been disclosed in these financial statements.
- f. The Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) contracts are governed by service concession agreements with government authorities as grantor. Under these
agreements, the operator does not own the road, but gets the "toll collection rights" against the construction services rendered. Since the revenues from the construction activity by the operator are considered to be earned in exchanged with the granting of toll collection rights for a specified year, profits from such contracts are considered as realized. Accordingly, the management and advisory fees paid to the holding company and all the intra group transactions on BOT contracts and profits arising thereon are taken as realized and accordingly, accounted for in preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
iv. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS, requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the results of operation during the reported period. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates which are recognised in the period in which they are determined.
v. Key accounting estimates and assumptions
The key estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
a. Contract estimates
The Group, being a part of construction industry, prepares budgets in respect of each project to compute project profitability. The two major components of contract estimate are 'claims arising during construction period' (described below) and 'budgeted costs to complete the contract'. While estimating these components various assumptions are considered by the management such as (i) Work will be executed in the manner expected so that the project is completed timely (ii) consumption norms will remain same (iii) Assets will operate at the same level of productivity as determined (iv) Wastage will not exceed the normal % as determined etc. (v) Estimates for contingencies (vi) There will be no change in design and the geological factors will be same as communicated and (vii) price escalations etc. Due to such complexities involved
in the budgeting process, contract estimates are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
b. Recoverability of claims
The Group has claims in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work etc., which are at various stages of negotiation/discussion with the clients or under arbitration. The realisability of these claims are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience with similar claims as well as legal opinion obtained from internal and external experts, wherever necessary. Changes in facts of the case or the legal framework may impact realisability of these claims.
c. Deferred tax assets
In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
d. Defined benefit plans
The cost and present value of the gratuity obligation and compensated absences 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, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
e. Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation as result of a past event and it is probable that the outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
vi. Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, 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 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 is 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 categorized 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 prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the 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.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Group's accounting policies. For this analysis, the Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Management also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
vii. Property, Plant and Equipment (Tangible Assets)
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition including attributable interest and finance costs, if any, till the date of acquisition/ installation of the assets less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Subsequent expenditure relating to Property, Plant and Equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use and the resultant gain or loss are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
viii. Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress, representing expenditure incurred in respect of assets under development and not ready for their intended use, are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, related borrowing cost and other direct expenditure.
ix. Investment Property
Investment properties are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are measured initially at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.
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 on an annual evaluation based on the reckoner value with the main inputs being comparable transactions and industry data.
Depreciation on investment properties (building) is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of useful lives as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 i.e. 60 years. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful lives/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.
x. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets mainly comprise of computer software and trade marks. Computer software represents license fees and implementation cost for software and other application software acquired / developed for in-house use. Costs relating to trademark and design have been treated as intangible assets which also comprise license fees, other implementation costs for software and application software acquired for in-house use.
xi. Asset classified as held for sale
Assets that are available for immediate sale and where the sale is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification are considered and classified as assets held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of asset held for sale has been estimated using observable inputs such as price quotations.
xii. Depreciation / amortisation
Depreciation is provided for property, plant and equipment so as to expense the cost less residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, except Building and sheds which is depreciated using WDV method. Intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use, over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as mentioned below:
| Asset category |
Useful life (in years) |
Basis of determination of useful lives^ |
|---|---|---|
| Building and sheds |
3 to 60 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Leasehold improvements |
As per the period of lease or estimated useful life determined by management's expert, whichever is lower. |
|
| Plant and equipment |
2 to 14 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Furniture fixtures and office equipment |
5 to 10 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Heavy Vehicles |
3 to 12 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Light Vehicles | 8 to 10 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Helicopter / Aircraft |
12 to18 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Speed boat | 13 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Computers | 3 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
| Biological plant (Bearer Plant) |
4 to 20 | Based on technical evaluation by management's expert. |
| Intangible assets |
3 to 5 | Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act. |
^ Useful lives of asset classes determined by management estimate, which are generally lower than those prescribed under Schedule II to the Act are supported by internal technical assessment of useful lives.
The estimated useful life and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis, from the date on which asset is ready to use.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are accounted in the Statement of Profit and Loss under Other income and Other expenses.
xiii. Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a. Financial Assets
i) Initial Recognition
In the case of Financial assets, not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly 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.
ii) Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
- Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model with an objective to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate ("EIR") method. Impairment gains or losses arising on these assets are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
- Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets are measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI') if these financial assets are held within a business model with an objective to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue
and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
In respect of equity investments (other than for investment in subsidiaries and associates) which are not held for trading, the Group has made an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of such instruments in OCI. Such an election is made by the Group on an instrument by instrument basis at the time of transition for existing equity instruments/ initial recognition for new equity instruments.
Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI is carried at FVPL.
iii) Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies the expected credit loss ("ECL") model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures.
The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. after all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iv) De-recognition of Financial Assets
The Group de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
b. Equity Instruments and Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
i) Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments which are issued for cash are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Equity instruments which are issued for consideration other than cash are recorded at fair value of the equity instrument.
ii) Financial Liabilities
- Initial Recognition
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and borrowings and payables 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.
- Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
- Financial liabilities at FVPL
Financial liabilities at FVPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation. Amortisation is recognised as finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
- Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Where the Group issues optionally convertible debentures, the fair value of the liability portion of such debentures is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible debenture. This value is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption of the debentures. The remainder of the proceeds is attributable to the equity portion of the instrument. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity (net of income tax) and are not subsequently remeasured.
Where the terms of a financial liability is re-negotiated and the Group issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss; measured as a difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of equity instrument issued.
- De-recognition of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. 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 de-recognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c. Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
xiv. Employee Benefits
a. Defined Contribution Plan
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as provident fund, employees' state insurance, labour welfare fund and superannuation scheme are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. Group's provident fund contribution, in respect of certain employees of the Company and its Indian subsidiaries is made to a government administered fund, and charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Group has no further obligations beyond the monthly contributions.
b. Defined Benefit Plan
In respect of certain employees, provident fund contributions are made to a trust administered by the Group. The interest rate payable to the members of the trust shall not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Group. Accordingly, the contribution paid or payable and the interest shortfall, if any, is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.
The Group also provides for gratuity which is a defined benefit plan the liabilities of which are determined based on valuations, as at the balance sheet date, made by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of gratuity are recognised in the OCI, in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognised in OCI are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of plan amendment or curtailment. The classification of the Group's obligation into current and non-current is as per the actuarial valuation report.
In case of foreign subsidiaries, the post-employment benefit plan, in the form of a pension, qualify as defined benefit plans. For the purposes of determining the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date, the total defined benefit obligations, made by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method, are compared to the fair value of the plan assets and resultant surplus or shortfall is recognised as an asset or liability, respectively. Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of this pension plan are recognised in the OCI, in the period in which they occur.
c. Leave entitlement and compensated absences
Accumulated leave which is expected to be utilised within next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. Leave entitlement, other than short term compensated absences, are provided based on a actuarial valuation, similar to that of gratuity benefit. Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of leave entitlement are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.
d. Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as salaries, wages, performance incentives etc. are recognised as expenses at the undiscounted amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period in which the related service is rendered. Expenses on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised in the period in which the absences occur.
xv. Inventories
a. Raw material, Stores, Spares, Fuel
The stock of construction materials, stores, spares and embedded goods and fuel is valued at cost or net realisable value ('NRV'), whichever is lower. Cost is determined on weighted average basis and includes all applicable cost of bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is estimated selling price in ordinary course of business less the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
b. Finished Goods (including Traded and Semi-finished goods)
Finished Goods, traded goods and semi-finished goods are valued at the lower of the cost and NRV. Cost is determined on weighted average basis and include all applicable cost of bringing the goods in their present location and condition. NRV is the estimated selling price in ordinary course of business less the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
c. Project work in progress
Land and construction / development expenses are accumulated under "Project work-in-progress" and the same are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower.
Cost of land purchased / acquired by the Group includes purchase / acquisition price plus stamp duty and registration charges.
Construction / development expenditure includes cost of development rights, all direct and indirect expenditure incurred on development of land/ construction, attributable interest and financial charges and overheads relating to site management and administration less incidental revenues arising from site operations.
xvi. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprises of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three month or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
xvii. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker regularly monitors and reviews the operating result of the whole Group. Segments have been identified taking into account the nature of activities of the parent company, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the differing risks and returns, the organization structure and internal reporting system. The Group's operations predominantly relate to 'Engineering and Construction', 'Infrastructure', 'Real Estate' and 'Comprehensive Urban Development and Management'. Other business segments contribute less than 10% of the total revenue and have been grouped as 'Others'.
xviii. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Also, the EIR amortisation is included in finance costs.
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.
xix. Foreign Exchange Translation of Foreign Projects and Accounting of Foreign Exchange Transaction
a. Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the
b. Conversion
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported using the closing rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
c. Treatment of Exchange Difference
Exchange differences arising on settlement/ restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Group are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalised and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset and exchange differences arising on other longterm foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Translation Account" and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.
xx. Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented with other income.
xxi. Revenue Recognition
Effective 1 April 2018, the Group has adopted Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" using the cumulative catch-up transition method, applied to contracts that has not completed as of 1 April 2018. In accordance with the cumulative catch up transition method, the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of Ind AS 115 by the Group has resulted in the increase of opening retained earnings of the Group by ` 140.74 crore which has been disclosed under the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.
a. Accounting of Construction Contracts
Revenue from engineering and construction services, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. The Group determines the percentage-of-completion on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which we refer as unbilled work-in-progress) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenue).
Advance payments received from contractee for which no services are rendered are presented as 'Advance from contractee'.
Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the contract scope or contract price. The accounting for modifications of contracts involves assessing whether the services added to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract, if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price.
The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Statement of Profit and Loss.
b. Software development and servicing revenue
Revenue from software development on fixed price, fixed time frame contracts, including system development and integration contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability is recognized as per percentage of completion method. Revenue from last billing date to the Balance Sheet date is recognized as unbilled revenue. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion that service cost incurred for work performed to date bears to the estimated total service cost. Service cost incurred to date excludes costs that relate to future activity on the contract. Such costs are recognized as an asset and are classified as unbilled revenue as due from customers.
Servicing revenue is recognized over the term of servicing contract. For sales of services, revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to stage of completion of the specific transaction and assessed on the basis of actual services provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
Time and material contracts is recognized as and when the related services are provided
Annual maintenance service contracts are recognised proportionately over the year in which the services are rendered.
Advance payments received from customers for which no services have been rendered are presented as 'Advance from customers'.
Revenue for sale of user license for software application is recognised on the transfer of title/products, in accordance with the sales contract.
Provision for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the year in which such losses become probable based on the current estimates.
c. Revenue from real estate development
Revenue from the sale of real estate projects is realised on the transfer of title or the transfer of material risks and rewards to the purchaser.
The separate sale of project development rights and plans is accounted for as sale and the revenue and gains are realised at the time of the transfer of risks and rewards.
Real estate development projects with multiple buyers (i.e. condominium projects) are accounted for according to specific guidance note of IND AS.E.g. revenue is only recognised if the POC is above 25% maximum to the extent of revenue based on cost-to-cost method.
d. Service concession arrangements
The Group recognises an intangible asset arising from a service concession arrangement to the extent it has a right to charge for use of the concession infrastructure. The fair value, at the time of initial recognitions of such an intangible asset received as consideration for providing construction or upgrade services in a service concession arrangement, is regarded to be its cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the intangible assets is measured at cost, less any accumulated amortisations and accumulated impairment losses.
Appendix D "Service concession arrangements" applies to "public- to-private" service concession arrangements, which can be defined as contracts under which the grantor transfers to a concession holder the right to deliver public
services that give access to the main public facilities for a specified period of time in return for managing the infrastructure used to deliver those public services.
More specifically, Appendix D applies to public-to-private service concession arrangements if the grantor:
- i. Controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and
- ii. Controls through ownership or otherwise any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement.
In assessing the applicability the management has exercised significant judgement in relation to the underlying ownership of the assets, the ability to enter into power purchase arrangements with any customer, ability to determine prices etc. in concluding that the arrangements don't meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.
Group has Toll Road Concession rights where it Designs, Build, Finances, Operates and transfer (DBFOT) infrastructure used to provide public service for a specified period of time. These arrangements may include Infrastructure used in a public-to-private service concession arrangement for its entire useful life.
These arrangements are accounted for based on the nature of the consideration. The intangible asset model is used to the extent that the Company receives a right (a license) to charge users of the public service. The financial asset model is used when the Company has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction services. When the unconditional right to receive cash covers only part of the service, the two models are combined to account separately for each component. If the Company performs more than one service (i.e., construction or upgrade services and operation services) under a single contract or arrangement, consideration received or receivable is allocated by reference to the relative fair values of the services delivered, when the amounts are separately identifiable.
Appendix A "Service concession arrangements" applies to "public- to-private" service concession arrangements, which can be defined as contracts under which the grantor transfers to a concession holder the right to deliver public services that give access to the main public facilities for a specified period of time in return for managing the infrastructure used to deliver those public services.
More specifically, Appendix C applies to public-to-private service concession arrangements if the grantor:
- i. Controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and
- ii. Controls through ownership or otherwise any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement.
xxii. Other Income
a. Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable Effective Interest Rate (EIR).
b. Dividend Income
Dividend is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
c. Other Income
Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
d. Rental Income
Rent is recognised on time proportionate basis.
e. Finance and Other Income
Finance income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable EIR. Other income is accounted for on accrual basis.
xxiii. Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises of current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
a. Current Income Tax
Current income tax is recognised based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
b. Deferred Income Tax
Deferred tax is determined by applying the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible temporary differences between the financial statements' carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realisation.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, to the extent it would be available for set off against future current income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.
xxiv. Leases
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the leased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Assets acquired on finance lease are capitalised at fair value or present value of minimum lease payment at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.
xxv. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
As at each Balance Sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognised in the previous periods. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
- In case of an individual asset, at the higher of the assets' fair value less cost to sell and value in use; and - In case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specified to the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market transaction are taken into account. If no such transaction can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.
xxvi. Trade receivables
A receivable is classified as a 'trade receivable' if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods sold or services rendered in the normal course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method, less provision for impairment.
xxvii. Trade payables
A payable is classified as a 'trade payable' if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods purchased or services received in the normal course of business. These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually settled as per the payment terms stated in the contract. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within the normal operating cycle after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
xxviii. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted
for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the parent and weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares).
xxix. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions (excluding gratuity and compensated absences) are determined based on management's estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In case the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. A contingent liability also arises, in rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
xxx. Provision for warranty
In case of real estate projects of a subsidiary, the estimated liability for warranty is recorded on the building and its components during the construction period. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of obligations and management estimates regarding possible future incidence based on corrective actions during the construction period under warranty phase.
xxxi. Share Issue Expenses
Share issue expenses are charged off against available balance in the Securities premium.
xxxii. Share Based Payments
Certain employees of the Group are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined vesting period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants. The stock compensation expense is determined based on the Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest using fair value in accordance with Ind-AS 102, Share based payment.
xxxiii. Exceptional Items
When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.
Note 2.2 Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA"), through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified the following new and amendments to Ind AS's which Group has not adopted as they are effective from 1 April 2019.
i. Ind AS - 116 Leases
Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases standard, Ind AS 17 Leases. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lessee accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17.
Ind AS 116 will come into force from 1 April 2019. The Group is evaluating the requirement of the new Ind AS and the impact on the financial statements. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 116 is expected to be insignificant.
ii. Ind AS 12 Income taxes (amendments relating to income tax consequences of dividend and uncertainty over income tax treatments)
The amendment relating to income tax consequences of dividend clarify that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The Group does not expect any impact from this pronouncement.
The amendment to Appendix C of Ind AS 12 specifies that the amendment is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. It outlines the following: (1) the entity has to use judgement, to determine whether each tax treatment should be considered separately or whether some can be considered together. The decision should be based on the approach which provides better predictions of the resolution of the uncertainty (2) the entity is to assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all relevant information while examining any amount (3) entity has to consider the probability of the relevant taxation authority accepting the
tax treatment and the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates would depend upon the probability. The Group does not expect any significant impact of the amendment on its financial statements.
iii. Ind AS 23 – Borrowing Costs
The amendment clarifies that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings. The Group does not expect any impact from this amendment.
iv. Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations and Ind AS 111 – Joint Arrangements
The amendments to Ind AS 103 relating to re-measurement clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it re-measures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to Ind AS 111 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not re-measure previously held interests in that business. The Group will apply the pronouncement if and when it obtains control / joint control of a business that is a joint operation.

Note 5.1 Impairment testing for goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in accordance with the Group's procedure for determining the recoverable amount of such assets. The recoverable amount is determined based on the fair value of the underlying net assets of the entity. The fair value measurement has been categorised as level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. Based on the above, no impairment provision is considered necessary as the recoverable value exceeded the carrying value.

Note 36: The Group, as at 31 March 2019, has a non-current investment amounting to 137.23 crore (31 March 2018: 292.81 crore) in HCC Concessions Limited ('HCL'), a joint venture company of HCC Infrastructure Company Limited ('HICL') (85.45% holding), a wholly owned subsidiary, having various Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) SPVs under its fold. While HICL has incurred losses and consolidated net-worth as at 31 March 2019 has been substantially eroded, the underlying projects are expected to achieve adequate profitability on substantial completion. The net-worth of this subsidiary does not represent its true market value as the value of the underlying investments / assets, based on valuation report of an independent valuer, is higher. Further BOT SPV's have several claims including favorable arbitration awards against its customers mainly in respect of cost- overrun arising due to client caused delays, termination of contracts and change in scope of work which are under various stages of negotiation/discussion with clients or under arbitration/ litigation wherein management has been legally advised that it has good case on merits. Therefore, based on certain estimates like future business plans, growth prospects as well as considering the contractual tenability, progress of negotiation/ discussion/ arbitration/ litigations and legal advise, the management believes that the realizable amount of HCL is higher than the carrying value of the non-current investments due to which these are considered as good and recoverable.
Note 37 : HCC Real Estate Limited ('HREL'), a subsidiary company, had provided corporate guarantee and put options aggregating ` 3,868.69 crore to the lenders of its erstwhile subsidiaries, Lavasa Corporation Limited ('LCL') and Warasgaon Assets Maintenance Limited ('WAML') in respect of amounts borrowed by these subsidiaries. LCL and WAML were admitted under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ('CIRP') in accordance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) dated 30 August 2018 and 17 December 2018, respectively and Resolution Professionals ('RP') have been appointed by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) of the lenders of respective companies. The lenders, to whom these corporate guarantees and put options were furnished, have filed their claims with RP which is presently under the IBC process and during the current year have also invoked the corporate guarantee / put options issued by HREL. RP is in the process of formulating a resolution plan including identifying potential resolution applicant. The liability of the HREL shall be determined once the debts due to these lenders are settled by RP upon completion of the IBC process. Pending the outcome of the resolution process, no provision has been considered necessary in the consolidated financial statements by the management, as impact, if any is currently unascertainable.
Note 38 : Unbilled work-in-progress, 'Non-current trade receivables' and 'current receivables' include 416.49 crore (31 March 2018: 686.24 crore), 54.14 crore (31 March 2018: 123.39 crore) and 320.94 crore (31 March 2018: 214.38 crore), respectively, outstanding as at 31 March 2019 which represent various claims raised earlier, based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts and other receivables in respect of closed / suspended projects. These claims are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work; for which Company is at various stages of negotiation / discussion with the clients or under arbitration / litigation. Considering the contractual tenability, progress of negotiations / discussions / arbitration / litigations and as legally advised, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables.
Note 39 : Badarpur Faridabad Tollway Limited ('BFTL') has received a recall notice from Lenders letter dated 31 October 2018 demanding repayment of entire loan outstanding amounting to 710 crore. BFTL has reverted to the notice and has requested the lenders to reconsider its action of issuing Recall Notice and withdraw it immediately, pending the arbitration proceedings with NHAI for termination dues. Subsequently BFTL has received Letter dated 10 April 2019 demanding outstanding dues along with revised interest amounting to 902.96 crore as on 31 October 2018 (computed after reversal of waivers). As per BFTL books of accounts, the total outstanding dues to lenders as at 31 March 2019 stands at ` 617.04 crore. Pending reconciliation of outstanding dues to the lenders, difference has been disclosed as contingent liability.
Note 40 : On 24 August 2017, NHAI had issued an 'Intention to Issue Termination Notice' to Baharampore Farakka Highways Limited (BFHL), a joint venture of the HCL. BFHL has refuted all the alleged defaults and refuted NHAI's intention to terminate as invalid. The Independent Engineer has recommended the Authority to withdraw intention to issue termination notice on 5 February 2019. Based on the legal advice obtained in this respect, management of BFHL is confident of settling this matter with NHAI without any loss.
Note 41: Raiganj Dalkhola Highways Limited ('RDHL'), a subsidiary of HCL, has received a notice from NHAI for termination of the road construction project being carried out under this entity. RDHL has not accepted the contention of NHAI as the requisite land to carry out the desired work was not made available by NHAI. RDHL has preferred a claim of 368 crore before arbitration tribunal for wrongful termination of the project by NHAI and based on legal advise it is confident of recovering entire cost incurred on the project. Further, RDHL has also filed claims amounting to 802 crore towards losses suffered by it till 31 March 2017 on account of delay in providing land and consequent delay in completion of the project which are presently referred to arbitration for which constitution of Arbitral Tribunal to adjudicate this dispute is awaited. Further the net worth of RDHL, at this juncture, is also positive. Based on the legal advice obtained in this respect, Management is confident of recovering the outstanding receivables of ` 177.42 crore from NHAI and exposure in RDHL is considered to be fully recoverable.
Note 42: The National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai ('NCLT') vide Order dated 30 August 2018, has admitted an application filed against Lavasa Corporation Limited ('LCL') by an operational creditor and initiated the Corporate insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under the lnsolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 ('IBC'). In accordance with the provisions of IBC, the powers of the Board of Directors of LCL shall stand suspended and the management of LCL presently vests with the Resolution Professional ('RP') appointed under the provisions of IBC. HCC Real Estate Limited ('HREL'), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, is presently holding 68.70% equity stake in LCL.
The Holding Company made all the required efforts to obtain requisite standalone and consolidated financial results/ financial information of LCL and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures ('LCL group') for the period 1 April 2018 to 30 August 2018 (date up to which the company had control) through appointed RP, for which no response was received from RP. In the absence of the required financial results/ financial information of LCL group, it was practically beyond the control of Holding Company's management to consolidate LCL group up to the date of loss of control i.e. 30 August 2018, in consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. In view of this, financial statements/ financial information of LCL group for the aforesaid period have not been considered in the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. Further, de-recognition of assets and liabilities of LCL group, consequent to aforesaid loss of control, has been carried out based on the latest available financial results of LCL group, i.e. year ended 31 March 2018, in these consolidated financial statements. (Also refer note 33.1)
Note 43: The Notification under Section 3C(1) under the Maharashtra Slum Area (Improvement & Redevelopment) Act, 1971 declaring the land parcel at Vikhroli (East) held by the Panchkutir Developers Limited, a subsidiary of Holding Company, as "Slum Rehabilitation Area" has been challenged by some persons and appeals preferred are pending in the Bombay High Court. Similarly, a suit filed in the High Court by some persons for declaration that they are Lessees of the said property is also pending. Suit filed by the Company for vacant and peaceful possession of part of the said land is pending in the Small Causes Court, Mumbai. No Liability is expected in aforesaid matter.

NOTE 46 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the financial assets are included at amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
- (a) Fair value of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
- (b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.

NOTE 47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
i 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, foreign currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Major financial instruments affected by market risk includes loans and borrowings.
NOTE 47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...contd.
a Interest rate risk
Majority of the long term borrowings of the Group bear fixed interest rate, thus interest rate risk is limited and the will not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Group.
b Foreign currency risk
The Group has several balances in foreign currency and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years, which has affected the results of the Group, and may fluctuate substantially in the future. The Group evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.

Sensitivity analysis
The Group's exposure in foreign currency is not material and hence the impact of any significant fluctuation in the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact of the operating profits of the Group.
NOTE 47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...contd.
c Equity price risk
The Group's listed and non-listed equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Group's senior management on a regular basis. The Group's Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.
As at 31 March 2019, the exposure to listed equity securities including mutual fund at fair value was 5.84 crore (31 March 2018: 18.89 crore). A movement (decrease / increase) of 10% in the value of listed securities could have an impact of approximately ` 0.58 crore on the Other Comprehensive Income or equity attributable to owners of parent. These changes would not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Group.
ii Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. The maximum exposure of the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables and other financial assets.
a Trade Receivable
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from two main classes of trade receivables i.e receivables from government promoted agencies and receivables from private third parties. A substantial portion of the Group's trade receivables are from government promoted agencies having strong credit worthiness.
| As at March 31, 2019 | As at March 31, 2018 | ||||

| 7,970.31 | 100.00 | 8,405.68 | 100.00 |
b Financial assets other than trade receivables
Financial assets other than trade receivables comprise of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loan to employees and other financial assets mainly representing unbilled work-in-progress. The Group monitors the credit exposure on these financial assets on a case-to-case basis. Based on the Group's historical experience, the credit risk on other financial assets is also low.
The Company is engaged in business segments viz. Engineering and Construction, Infrastructure, Real Estate, Comprehensive Urban Development and Management and Others.

For the year ended 31 March 2019, Nil (31 March 2018: Nil) customers, individually, accounted for more than 10% of the revenue.
c Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Group generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings.
NOTE 47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...contd.
iii Liquidity risk
Liquidity is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Group's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Group's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

NOTE 48 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The Group strives to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that they can maximise returns for the shareholders and benefits for other stake holders. The aim to maintain an optimal capital structure and minimise cost of capital.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or adjust the dividend payment to shareholders (if permitted). Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors its capital using the gearing ratio which is total debt divided by total capital plus total debt.
| ` crore | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at | As at | |
| March 31, 2019 | March 31, 2018 | |
| Total debt | 4,107.54 | 9,455.57 |
| Total equity plus total debt | 3,171.37 | 7,904.50 |
| Total debt to equity ratio (Gearing ratio) | 1.30 | 1.20 |
In the long run, the Group's strategy is to maintain a gearing ratio of less than 1.25.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowings that define the capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the lenders to immediately call loans and borrowings. Subsequent to restructuring of the borrowings, there have been no communications from the banks in this regard which might have a negative impact on the gearing ratio.

| II. | Audit Qualification | |||
| a. | Details of Audit Qualification: |
Auditor's Qualification | ||
| (A) Independent Auditor's report on Consolidated Financial Statements: | ||||
| As stated in Note 42 to the consolidated financial statements, Lavasa Corporation Limited (LCL), a subsidiary of HCC Real Estate Limited (HREL) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, was admitted under the Corporate Insolvency and Resolution Process (CIRP) in accordance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) on 30 August 2018 and a Resolution Professional was appointed. The Board of Directors of LCL were suspended with effect from 30 August 2018, and the Holding Company and HREL therefore, did not exercise either control or significant influence over LCL from this date onwards. Owing to unavailability of financial statements and/or financial information of LCL and its subsidiaries, associates jointly controlled entity ('LCL Group') for the period 1 April 2018 to 30 August 2018 ('cut-off period'), the financial statements of LCL for the cut-off period have not been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company and the assets and liabilities of LCL Group have been derecognized at their respective carrying values as at 31 March 2018 instead of 30 August 2018. The said accounting treatment by the group is not in compliance with Ind AS 110 - Consolidated Financial Statements. In the absence of sufficient audit evidence, we are unable to comment upon on the compliance of Ind AS 110 – Consolidated Financial Statements and its consequential impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019. (B) Auditor's Qualification on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting relating to |
||||
| matter stated in II(a)A: According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the |
||||
| following material weakness has been identified as at 31 March 2019: | ||||
| The Holding Company's internal controls over financial reporting with respect to financial statements preparation process towards consolidation activity in compliance with the Ind AS 110, "Consolidated Financial Statements", and other accounting principles generally accepted in India were not operating effectively, which has resulted in a material misstatement in the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities and its consequential impact on earnings, reserves and related disclosures in the financial statements, as explained in Note 42 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
||||
| A 'material weakness' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in IFCoFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual |
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai ('NCLT') vide Order dated 30 August 2018, has admitted an application filed against Lavasa Corporation Limited ('LCL') by an operational creditor and initiated the Corporate insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under the lnsolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 ('IBC'). In accordance with the provisions of IBC, the powers of the Board of Directors of LCL shall stand suspended and the management of LCL presently vests with the Resolution Professional ('RP') appointed under the provisions of IBC. HCC Real Estate Limited ('HREL'), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, is presently holding 68.70% equity stake in LCL. |
|
| The Holding Company made all the required efforts to obtain requisite standalone and consolidated financial statements/ financial information of LCL and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures ('LCL group') for the period 1 April 2018 to 30 August 2018 (date up to which the Holding Company had control) through appointed RP, for which no response was received from RP. In the absence of the required financial statements/ financial information of LCL group, it was practically beyond the control of Holding Company's management to consolidate LCL group up to the date of loss of control i.e. 30 August 2018, in consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. In view of this, financial statements/ financial information of LCL group for the aforesaid period have not been considered in the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. Further, de-recognition of assets and liabilities of LCL group, consequent to aforesaid loss of control, has been carried out based on the latest available financial statements of LCL group, i.e. year ended 31 March 2018, in these consolidated financial statements. |
