CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

The past year was unimaginable by any measure. The pandemic swamped the entire globe like a colossal tsunami leaving multifold changes in its wake. Besides extracting an appalling human toll, it changed the way we live, work, learn, and much more. Its immediate consequences saw the world facing a severe economic contraction and triggered unprecedented government actions.

Despite the gathering of dark clouds, some beams of light broke through as India calibrated its response with an attempt to bring about economic reforms. This helped ensure minimal disruption on the supply side while ensuring that the demand side also remained extant. The Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme provided much-needed relief to stressed sectors. A favourable monetary policy ensured abundant liquidity and immediate relief to debtors via temporary moratoria, unclogging monetary policy transmission.

These timely initiatives resulted in arresting the decline, with GDP declining 7.3% in Q2 as against a big drop of 24.4% in Q1, signalling the beginning of an economic recovery. This was followed by positive news from the IMF when it raised its March 2021 forecast for India's growth to 12.5%.

Amidst these developments, suddenly, a second wave of the pandemic precipitously enveloped the nation and caught us unprepared. The Government embarked on quick course correction measures with ramping up of health infrastructure for patients and vaccinations of eligible citizens on war-footing. The stringent localised lockdowns and enhancement of critical medical infrastructure will ensure containment of the virus and hopefully overcome the pandemic soon.

While the events unfolded through the year, at HCC, we kept our focus on what we, as a Company, can do to build responsible infrastructure. As I begin this annual letter to the shareholders, I am proud of what our Company and our employees have achieved, collectively and individually.

During this challenging year, we have had to perform the greatest balancing act in the Company's history — addressing the COVID19 pandemic while pushing for our long-term sustainability by initiatives aimed at deleveraging the balance sheet and pruning fixed costs.

Right from the onset of the pandemic, HCC adopted stringent safety measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its people and all stakeholders. We ensured that the 13,400 contract workmen at our project sites received good care by implementing stringent Standard Operating Procedures and safety norms for COVID19. Besides providing food, shelter and medical assistance, the focus was on maintaining prescribed COVID19 preventive and containment protocols.

While we had a challenging situation at the project sites due to the lockdown, HCC remobilized the required workmen, strengthened the supply chain management with improved vendor management, and took various measures with clients to improve cash flow to successfully bring stalled projects back into regular operation during the year.

I am proud that this year, your Company has completed two projects of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation – CC66 and CC34, as well as the Sawra Kuddu HEP in Himachal Pradesh. Significant progress has been achieved on several projects under construction, which include: Coastal Road Project in Maharashtra, Mumbai Metro Line 3 in Maharashtra, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's DC06 contract, Railway Tunnel T-49A, T13, T14 and Anjikhad Cable-Stayed Bridge in Jammu & Kashmir, Tehri Pumped Storage Plant and Vishnugad Pipalkoti HEP in Uttarakhand, the Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Facility at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, the Rajasthan Atomic Power Project, the Integrated Nuclear Recycle Plant for Bhabha Atomic Research Centre at Tarapur, Parwan Dam in Rajasthan, and Bistan Lift Irrigation in Madhya Pradesh.

While project execution was stabilised, HCC continued with its steadfast efforts through the year to lighten the balance sheet, bring down operational costs and interest outgo to achieve greater financial stability.

Meanwhile, our ongoing Resolution Plan with lenders will significantly deleverage the Company and address its assetliability mismatch. When implemented, the Company will not have any material debt servicing obligations till FY23. The Company will focus on the working capital requirements for normalizing its operations and securing new orders for business growth.

Also, in September 2020, HCC Concessions Ltd, the subsidiary of HCC, completed the 100% sale of Farakka-Raiganj Highways Limited to Cube Highways and Infrastructure II Pte Ltd with an enterprise valuation of `1,508 crore. This sale to Cube unlocks substantial sums, which will be reinvested in the EPC business.

In a year overshadowed by uncertainty, your Company turned in a creditable performance and registered growth in key performance parameters. With strategic bidding of around 8,000 crore across key sectors, the Company has secured significant orders worth7,639 crore (HCC's share 3,467 crore). The total order backlog as of March 31, 2021, was17,914 crore. The Company has substantial future business potential for bidding and to gain new orders across metro rail, tunnels, bridges, highways, and hydropower segments.

Your Company takes a 360-degree view of sustainable development that encompasses the organization's social, economic, governance, and financial aspects. We have been disclosing our sustainability performance through our annual Sustainability Reports published for the last 11 years. The Report adheres to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework and is independently verified by a third-party assurance agency. Through these initiatives, we make sure that the communities around us see a tangible and durable benefit from our presence. They see it in the shape of better access to potable water, improved sanitation levels, facilities for health, education and skill-building. The Company has also supported authorities in disaster relief during the glacier burst at Tapovan Vishnugarh HEP in Uttarakhand.

While businesses have worked with courage and conviction to serve their stakeholders, I believe that the pandemic has presented an existential crisis to the infrastructure industry, which was already deaccelerating pre-COVID and demands a determined response from the policymakers.

The government needs to urgently initiate the following medium-term reforms to make the future of the Construction Industry sustainable:

ō Reduction in the Non-Fund Based securities and guarantees sought in a construction contract
ō Rationalization of contract conditions in line with FIDIC: Current contract agreements need to evolve to an improved risk-sharing mechanism. This will give both financial institutions comfort on financing but also minimise disputes

In response to industry demands, the government must be complimented for undertaking the following steps.

ō Reduction in performance securities from 10% to 3% for all government contracts
ō Waiving off bid securities/earnest money deposits
ō Several retention securities are dealt with in a different way by various PSUs
ō NHAI has modified the milestone-based payment system that put cash flow stress on the liquidity situation in the infrastructure sector

It is necessary for the government to consider the above, as well as several other demands made by the construction industry. The sector employs nearly 70 million people and has the highest impact on the GDP per Rupee invested, with a multiplier factor of two. Therefore, assisting the construction industry will not only drive our economic recovery but also absorb large swaths of unemployment.

We are all passing through a crisis of unprecedented magnitude, and I would like to thank Team HCC as well as our customers, vendors and other stakeholders for the confidence and trust they have reposed in us. I also thank my fellow Board Members for their invaluable support in guiding the Company through this challenging period. We are putting in enormous efforts to mitigate the impact of the pandemic and register an enhanced performance in FY 2021-22.

Yours sincerely,

Ajit Gulabchand Chairman & Managing Director

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

Hindustan Construction Company Limited ('HCC' or 'Company') is engaged in the engineering and construction of large infrastructure projects, many of which are of national importance. It is one of the oldest infrastructure development companies in India, founded by Seth Walchand Hirachand in 1926. HCC operates mainly in the heavy infrastructure space and has presence in major infrastructure sectors like roads, bridges, hydro, nuclear, irrigation and water supply. It leverages its widespread knowledge base to deliver efficient solutions for its Clients ranging from engineering design, project management and controls to project execution and commissioning. It has acquired pre-qualification (PQ) skills and execution capabilities across sectors over the years.

The HCC Group's principal business areas can be classified into three broad verticals of Engineering and Construction (E&C), Infrastructure development and Real Estate. While the E&C vertical is undertaken by HCC, the rest of the activities are carried out through separate subsidiary companies.

For the construction industry in India, financial year (FY) 2021 was severely impacted by the COVID19 pandemic. The infrastructure sector, not an exception to this shock, experienced a sharp decline during the lockdown period. Economic activity started recovering as the unlocking process began. Further improvement and firming up in industrial activities are foreseen with the vaccination drive, enhanced capital expenditure by government, and the relentless push forward on long-pending reform measures.

In such an environment, HCC has focused on improving its liquidity position through realisation of its Client receivables and the monetisation of non-core assets to bolster its balance sheet. The Company also continues to drive organisational change to deliver operational robustness while relying on a leaner structure.

MACROECONOMIC REVIEW

The National Statistical Office, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India reported a contraction of 7.3% in real GDP growth for FY2021 while revising the growth estimates for FY2020 to 4% from 4.2% earlier in its provisional estimate of Annual National Income and Quarterly Estimates of GDP for Q4 of FY2021 released on May 31, 2021. Chart A shows the data for Real GDP growth in India for the past five years. The government also released quarterly estimates showing real GDP growth of -24.4% for Q1 (Apr-Jun), -7.4% for Q2, 0.5% for Q3 and 1.6% for Q4 of FY2021. While the latest growth numbers indicate a modest growth pick up in the second half of FY2021, the recovery is likely to be affected significantly in Q1 and Q2 of FY2022 by the sudden eruption of the second COVID19 wave from April 2021, which resulted in lockdown-like restrictions in most states across India.

The agriculture sector registered a healthy 3.6% growth during FY2021 after 4.3% growth in the previous fiscal year.

Quarterly data of other components of GDP by economic activity reported a mixed trend in real Gross Value Added (at 2011-12 prices) for FY2021. Mining and quarrying, trade, hotels, transport, communication and other services continued in negative territory during the second half of FY2021. However, the construction sector bounced back (6.5% in Q3 and 14.5% growth in Q4) as did manufacturing (1.7% and 6.9%) during this period. While the sequential quarterly data portend an encouraging trend, the growth momentum remains under strain, particularly given the fresh and severe economic activity disruptions due to the pandemic's second wave in India.

The index of industrial production (IIP) recorded strong growth in March 2021 across all segments, with overall industry growth of 22.4%, partly due to the low base effect. The overall recovery trend in the industry continued during Q4 of FY2021. However, overall, IIP registered a negative growth (-8.6%) for FY2021. Despite strong rebound in March 2021, all the use-based segments ended FY2021 with negative growth, with capital goods (-19.2%), consumer durables (-15.2%), intermediate goods (-9.7%) and construction goods (-9.1%).

Expenditure trends (at 2011-12 prices) in Q4 of FY2021 appear to be promising. Private final consumption expenditure stood at 55.4% of GDP in Q4 of FY2021 compared to 54.9% in Q4 of FY2020. Also, the Government final consumption expenditure was 11.7% of GDP in the last quarter of FY2021 as against 9.3% in the corresponding quarter of FY2020. Further, Gross Fixed Capital Formation – an indicator of private investment – bounced back to 33% of GDP in Q3 and further to 34.3% in Q4 of FY2021 compared to 32.3% and 31.5%, respectively for Q3 and Q4 of FY2020.

The BSE Sensex continued its bullish trend after shedding about 4500 points between February 15 – April 20, 2021, and scaled another peak at 52,329 on June 7, 2021. However, gains in the broader market have lagged the major indices. GST collections crossed `1,00,000 crore mark for eight months in a row till May 2021, reflecting the resilience of economic activity. However, non-food credit growth was 4.9%, the lowest in four years, even as bank deposits grew at 11.4% for FY2021. The RBI kept the repo rate – its key lending rate – low at 4% and

assured maintaining an accommodative stance for liquidity for as long as necessary to revive growth. The consumer price inflation rate eased to 4.29% in April 2021 from a high of 5.52% for February 2021. However, the Wholesale Price Index rose to 7.39% year-on-year in March 2021 and further to 10.49% in April 2021.

The government managed the first wave of the COVID19 pandemic much better than critics would give it credit. A strict lockdown prevented mass transmission of the virus and large-scale outbreak while providing breathing space for rapid scaling up of emergency healthcare infrastructure, especially in dense urban centres. India recorded a healthy recovery rate and a low (1%) mortality rate from the pandemic. From June-July 2020, the lockdown was gradually eased, and economic activities resumed. Meanwhile, India joined the global race for developing a vaccine for COVID19. Vaccination for frontline workers started from January 16, 2021, and for senior citizens thereafter.

However, the second wave of COVID19, propelled by a new 'delta' variant, hit the country suddenly from April 2021 onwards, with daily new cases rising exponentially and reaching 4,14,188 on May 6, 2021. The daily numbers have since declined as quickly as they had risen and returned below 1 lakh beginning the second week of June 2021. Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, a total of 2.95 crore people suffered COVID19 infections till mid-June 2021, with 3.74 lakh total deaths. During the second wave, several states declared strict lockdown measures, severely impacting economic activities. The pandemic threat is not yet over, and there is the apprehension of a third wave. The government has now set an ambitious target of vaccinating the entire population by end-December 2021. The Prime Minister announced free vaccines for all adult population to be administered by the Central Government jointly with states. He also extended free ration scheme support to 80 crore people till November 2021.

Therefore, the economic outlook for FY2022 remains clouded in pandemic-induced uncertainty, especially in the current and the following quarters. India's unemployment rate sharply rose to 7.11 per cent in 2020 from 5.27 per cent in 2019 as per the ILO database. According to The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economic (CMIE) estimates, over 1.5 crore jobs were lost in India in May this year. The monthly unemployment rate reached 11.9 per cent, the highest since last year's national lockdown. At the same time, inflationary expectations are on the rise. As per the RBI's latest survey, households' inflationary expectations rose by 220 basis points from January 2021 to May 2021 for the current period and 150 points for the three months ahead period. Consumer confidence fell to 48.5 in May 2021 from 55.5 in January 2021, according to the RBI survey. The survey also indicated worsening consumer optimism for the year ahead reflected in lower future expectations index from 117.1 to 96.4% in May 2021.

India's growth expectations for FY2022 are being adjusted downwards. The RBI now expects GDP growth to be lower at 9.5% for FY2022. The IMF is likely to revise its April 2021 forecast of India's GDP of 12.5% during FY2022 and 6.9% the following year. The global economy seems to have stabilized. The IMF forecast the world output to grow 6% in 2021 and 4.4% in 2022. China's economy is projected to grow at 8.4% in 2021 and 5.5% in 2022.

The government's ability for fiscal and monetary support to sustain growth momentum is quite limited. The challenges due to continuing pandemic are likely to affect governments revenue estimates and, at the same time, additional resources will be required for an effective pandemic response. Experts reckon that there may be a shortfall of 0.4% in the nondebt capital receipts. At the same time, the expenditure is likely to overshoot on account of free vaccination, income support to vulnerable parts of the population, additional capital expenditure for healthcare and other sectors. Together, these factors are likely to push the fiscal deficit close to 8% compared to the 6.7% budget target. Public debt at over 90% of GDP is already very high, and the further increase could impact the country's investment ratings and put pressure on the rupee. The government may have to continue to rely on the RBI's accommodative monetary policy. Supporting growth through additional expenditure without raising the fiscal deficit or inflation would be a tough challenge.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION IN INDIA

The Indian construction industry accounts for ~9% of the country's GDP and employs around 4 crore people. The construction industry has induced effects in the majority of the manufacturing sectors of the economy (such as cement, steel, industrial equipment). Thus, it plays a pivotal role in the economic growth of the nation. Structurally, the construction sector comprises the real estate and infrastructure segments. The infrastructure holds a major share and is a key driver of the overall growth in the construction sector.

Over the last few years, the infrastructure industry was plagued with significant cost overruns, liquidity issues, regulatory bottlenecks, highly leveraged balance sheets and aggressive bidding positions taken by a few market players resulting in financial losses. The Government of India has undertaken initiatives such as PPPs to draw private sector investments into the infrastructure sector. The government also introduced several structural reforms in the form of several schemes such as NIFF, Make In India, AMRUT, UDAAN, Hybrid Annuity Model, REITs & InvITs etc., to revive the investment cycle and further strengthen infrastructure development in rural and urban areas. To bridge the funding gap, the Reserve Bank of India ('RBI') has notified 100 per cent foreign direct investment ('FDI') under automatic route in the construction development sector.

The intent of the Indian government to create world-class infrastructure is evident in the recent announcements on investment in this sector and various structural policy initiatives taken. These initiatives' impact can be seen in India's rank in the WEF's Global Competitiveness Index, which has improved significantly from 71st position in 2014-15 to 40th position in 2017-18. During the same period, a similar improvement was observed in the "Infrastructure Sub-index", under which India's rank improved from 87th position to 66th position.

Further, the government is taking several initiatives to eliminate bottlenecks in the infrastructure sector, such as delays in obtaining clearances, funding constraints and land acquisition issues. Few of these initiatives include the launch of a portal for single-window clearance, creation of the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund ('NIIF'), and re-examination of the Viability Gap Funding ('VGF') Scheme to fill the funding gap. India is expected to be the third-largest construction market globally by 2030, with its contribution to GDP increasing to 15% by 2030.

Infrastructure spending is expected to have a multiplier effect on overall economic growth. To meet the target of a \$5 trillion economy by 2024-25, India has developed US\$ 1.5 trillion (111 lakh crore) National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) built on Infrastructure Vision 2025, which should provide a timely stimulus to the economy. The total project capital expenditure in infrastructure sectors in India during the fiscals 2020 to 2025 is projected at over111 lakh crore in which sectors such as Energy (24%), Roads (19%), Urban infrastructure (16%), Railways (13%) and Ports amount to around 70% of the projected capital expenditure.

Power: The government is looking to increase the total installed capacity by ~36% (213 GW) over the next five years. Out of this, Thermal will contribute 60 GW, Renewable Energy 140 GW, Nuclear 5 GW and Hydro 6 GW. Since ~64 GW thermal capacity is already under development, the largest investment is bound to be in Renewable Energy.

Roads: The roads and highways sector has received a significant push via government initiatives, such as Bharatmala Pariyojana, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and multiple expressways. Over the next five years, the total NIP Capex will be over US\$271 billion (`20 lakh crore) with over 1800 project pipeline.

Urban infrastructure: Many programmes for urban development such as the AMRUT to provide basic civic amenities like water supply, sewerage, mass rapid transit system, smart city mission, jal jeevan mission, PMAY-U to provide affordable housing and the SCM for integrated development are in place. Over the next five years, the total NIP Capex will be over US\$ 256 billion (`19 lakh crore) with over 1300 project pipeline.

Railways: Various initiatives have been undertaken by the Indian Railways to provide impetus to the Make in India programme and encourage investment in railway infrastructure through investor-friendly policies. Over the next five years, the total NIP Capex will be over US\$ 182 billion (`13 lakh crore) with over 720 project pipeline.

Ports: Overall, the Sagarmala programme is expected to oversee the development and implementation of new as well as existing ports and inland waterways. Over the next five years, the total NIP Capex will be over US\$ 16 billion (`1.2 lakh crore) with over 58 project pipeline.

Out of the total expected capital expenditure of 111 lakh crore, projects worth42.7 lakh crore (42%) are under implementation, projects worth `32.7 lakh crore (32%) are in the conceptualization stage, and the rest are under development. It is expected that projects of certain states, which are yet to communicate their pipelines, would be added to the pipeline in due course.

Till recently, the construction industry was witnessing sluggish growth due to various economic and policy concerns. Certain

initiatives undertaken by the stakeholders involved have provided much need relief. NHAI is now awarding contracts only after a substantial portion of the land acquisition has been done. Regulatory clearances are being received prior to the tendering stage. Settlement of arbitration claims is a timeconsuming process and blocks a large sum of receivables for EPC companies. Recent amendments in the Arbitration Act are encouraging the realization of claims. The government has announced its agenda to revive the growth of the EPC sector. It plans to adopt a multi-pronged strategy to simplify procedures, expedite ongoing projects and develop new ones. There are efforts in better coordination between ministries to ensure faster project award and grant of clearances and relief offered to road developers through measures like relaxation in the exit clause, deferment of premium, and NHAI fund infusion in stalled projects.

HCC, having executed numerous contracts in the above mentioned sectors, has strong PQs in the same. We believe that the underlying macro drivers for investments in India remain intact and that the Company is poised to capitalize on these opportunities in the future.

HCC: STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

HCC has undertaken several initiatives in reducing debt and improving cash flows to strengthen its financial position, apart from continuing the focus on enhancing execution capabilities and optimizing resources. Some of these initiatives are explained below:

NHAI Conciliations & Realisation of BOT Asset Sale

The Company initiated a material conciliation process with NHAI in December 2019 to settle certain awards & claims. Besides generating upfront liquidity, the intention was to reduce litigation costs and release BGs provided to Court or the Client under CCEA directive, thereby reducing bank's exposure and lightening the balance sheet. The Company has been successful in closing five conciliations within its BOT arm, HCC Concessions, and one conciliation of HCC through the Conciliation Committee of Independent Experts (CCIE) of NHAI. As per the aforementioned settlement agreements, HCC Group has received a total sum of 1,849 crore and the return of100 crore of its BGs.

As part of its fundraising initiatives, HCC Concessions Ltd (HCON) completed the sale of Farakka-Raiganj Highways Ltd (FRHL) to Cube Highways and Infrastructure II Pte Ltd (Cube Highways) on September 22, 2020, with an enterprise valuation of 1,508 crore, comprising debt of905 crore and an equity valuation of `603 crore.

In Q4 FY2021, the HCC Group concluded its conciliation with NHAI for all disputes concerning Baharampore-Farakka Highways Ltd (BFHL) and Farakka-Raiganj Highways Ltd (FRHL). The SPVs entered into settlement agreements with NHAI for a comprehensive closure of all outstanding disputes and claims between the parties for a total amount of 1,259 crore. BFHL settled the disputes for405.53 crore and FRHL settled it for `853.54 crore. The amounts have been received by the respective SPVs. FRHL will release the settlement proceeds to HCC Group per the existing contractual understanding with FRHL.

These initiatives will help provide immediate liquidity to the HCC Group to be utilized for operations and growth.

An exit will also be provided to HCC's equity partner, The Xander Group, in HCON from the proceeds of FRHL sale and conciliation with NHAI. Further, with the renewed impetus on BOT/HAM projects by the central government through NHAI and other agencies, HCON will look to bid selectively for BOT/HAM projects in partnership with financial investors and provide end-to-end construction services for these projects.

Lender Resolution Plan

HCC has embarked on a comprehensive debt resolution plan (RP) with its lenders. The Company proposes transferring the economic/beneficial interest in specified awards and claims as per following details:

a. Lenders' liability not exceeding `4,000 crore
b. Economic /beneficial interest in (i) awards of up to 2,749 crore and (ii) claims of up to2,136 crore, both accounted by the Company as per method of accounting regularly employed.
c. Economic/beneficial interest in awards & claims of up to `4,315 crore made by the Company, however, yet to be accounted.

Resolution Plan will close, as the debt amount to be carved out will include all over dues till the date of implementation of Resolution Plan.

The Company will subsequently sell/transfer/dilute or otherwise dispose of up to 51% of its equity shareholding to the investor.

The ratio of assigned awards and claims to total debt will be up to 2.3 times depending on the total debt and mix of awards and claims as agreed with the lenders. The debt transferred would be repaid over a period of time from the claims & awards realization proceeds through concentrated efforts by the SPV. The carved-out debt will be restructured as a 10-year instrument, payable from the 6th year onwards, with equity upside shared between the investor and lenders as agreed in the waterfall mechanism. HCC share (~49%) remaining after repayment of debt and capped IRR to investor, will fold back to HCC. HCC's Corporate Guarantee will be limited to 20% of debt (principal amount) transferred to SPV.

The investor will hold a majority stake in this entity with a planned investment of upfront equity of 25 crore and priority debt of75 crore, which will be utilized towards arbitration and litigation expenses. The return on investment to the identified investor entity will be limited and capped to a maximum of 35% and Board is authorized to negotiate and finalize the same.

The plan also entails divestment of identified non-core assets in HCC and conciliation/realization of identified Awards and Claims (remaining in HCC after carve out) to the tune of `1,247 crore, which will be utilized for operations. On the RP closure, Lenders will continue to issue/re-issue Bank Guarantees (BGs) for operations and growth from existing sanctioned operational NFB limits.

This plan received in-principle approval at the Senior Level Consortium meeting held on January 10, 2020. Due to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, there was a need to alter the proposed RP which was presented and approved in-principle by Lenders on August 18, 2020. The RP has received full support of HCC's lenders and the Inter Creditor Agreement (ICA), inter se the lenders, has been signed by 99% of the lender consortium, with one lender having committed to do so along with their final board approval. The plan was submitted in March to the Overseeing Committee (OC) for its approval. However, it was subsequently clarified by the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) that there was no requirement of OC, and the Lenders are currently in the process of granting their final approvals.

The Company's Board has approved the Resolution Plan subject to approval of the shareholders at the Extra-ordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held on June 29, 2021. Certain disruptions due to COVID19 have led to delay and the plan is expected to get implemented in Q2 FY2022.

On the implementation of this RP, HCC will stand substantially deleveraged, which will help address its current asset-liability mismatch which the Company has suffered on account of delayed realization of its awards and claims from Government Agencies. The Company will be able to focus on the working capital requirements for normalizing its operations and securing new orders for business growth.

Execution of Arbitration Awards

Consequent to the Supreme Court of India setting aside Section 87 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, there would henceforth not be any automatic stay on the execution of Arbitration Awards. A stay, which in the past, was granted at the mere filing of a challenge to an Award, would sometimes continue for years until the Court had time to hear the matter. Today, as a result of HCC's efforts in the Supreme Court, all Awards may be executed resulted in the deposit/collection of monies.

The Company has filed several Execution Petitions for deposit and collection of monies in various Courts for the Arbitration Award(s) passed in its favour.

The Company has collected 253 crore in FY2021 through execution petitions filed. Besides,101 crore has been collected in last three months and `366 crore has already been deposited in the Courts, which will be released against the bank guarantees.

Furthermore, and in recognition of the mechanical challenging of Arbitration Awards that has caused stress to the sector, the Government of India order dated November 28, 2019, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved the following:

a. For challenging the Arbitral Awards gone in favour of the Contractors/Concessioners, the governmental entity will take the opinion of Law Officer – Attorney General of India/ Solicitor General of India/Additional Solicitor General of India in consultation with Department of Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Law & Justice as per the procedure laid down in this respect.
b. For the arbitral awards challenged in the Court, the Government Entity will pay 75% of such awards to the contractor/concessionaire against a bank guarantee only for 75% amount and not for its interest component.
c. In cases where BG for interest component already submitted by the contractor, the same will be refunded. The Court order will prescribe the rate of interest, and the same will prevail.

Consequently, the Company expects Arbitration Awards' realization to be swifter, leading to more efficient dispute resolution in the long run. As a result of the order, HCC has recovered Bank Guarantees of 586 crore and is expected to receive a further release of BGs worth161 crore.

To avoid litigations, the GOI in the Union Budget has proposed a conciliation mechanism for resolving disputes in the construction industry. Para 135 of Budget provides as under:

To have ease of doing business for those who deal with Government or CPSEs and carry out Contracts, I propose to set up a Conciliation Mechanism and mandate its use for quick resolution of Contractual disputes. This will instil confidence in private sector investors and contractors.

government agencies to ensure the infrastructure projects are completed with minimum delays as the disputes would be settled and the money would be available during the performance of the Contracts.

Project Performance

The performance of our projects was severely affected due to the COVID19 pandemic. Works resumed by end September 2020 at all project sites, but delays continue in the remobilization of manpower, availability of materials due to disruptions in the supply chain and intermediate lockdown restrictions imposed by government authorities. Furthermore, abnormal increase in prices of cement and steel have also dented performance.

While we had less production time at projects during April 2020 to July 2021, Company has utilized this period on certain broad strategies such as (i) augmenting internal capabilities in the Company's core business of Engineering & Construction; (ii) managing and mitigating risks; (iii) being selective in securing new orders and optimizing resources by entering in well-structured joint ventures (JVs); (iv) continuously improving operational parameters; (v) development of internal processes (vi) resolving contractual issues with Clients (vii) finding innovative cashflow solutions with Clients (viii) contractual closure of closed projects.

Overall, the strategy focused on cashflow solutions for ongoing projects, contractual closure of closed projects and stress on liability reduction. Projects which were stalled or faced cashflow stress in the past have been brought into regular operations during the year with working capital support and supportive measures by various Clients.

Impact of COVID19 Pandemic

per Government guidelines, most Clients are yet to sanction payment for compensation towards lockdown period costs. While projects have reached the required level of resources and are expected to deliver performance as per the normal operating level, any future lockdowns or restrictions will disrupt the construction cycle.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

HCC's entire construction operations are optimised and governed through an Integrated Management System (IMS) based on International standards stipulated by ISO 9001:2015 for Quality; ISO 14001:2015 for Environment, and ISO 45001:2018 for safety. This Integrated Management System has been developed to address the requirements of the ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015 and ISO45001:2018 standards and outlines the systems and procedures that constitute the Integrated Management System implemented at HCC.

The effective implementation of ISO systems is ensured by MRM meetings, IMS Internal and external audits at construction Projects and Head Office functions.

The Company strongly believes in delivering quality products to its customers. The backbone of delivering quality is the Company's established Mission, Vision, IMS policy and IMS objectives, processes, and systems. To deliver on this objective, HCC has established SAP-QM (quality management) module at all sites for monitoring quality.

The Safe Work Instruction (SWI) manual & Risk Index guide was revised and merged in a single volume. SWI & Risk Index is used as a guide for executing the project construction activities safely. Also, it can be used as a guide to prepare projectspecific SWI & HIRAC to identify the unsafe condition and/or act which may harm environment, health & safety of workers/ staff and suggest suitable remedial action and facilitate the implementation of corrective measure. The necessary formats & checklist are updated against the HSE requirement as well as SWI and uploaded on the intranet. The Proactive Safety Observation Programme (PSOP) is continued to reduce the overall incidents at project sites.

The year was very challenging due to COVID19. Guidelines and standard operating procedures to protect the workforce was developed, implemented, and monitored. Internal audit was conducted for many sites as remote audit using virtual platforms.

This year, initiative adopted in coordination with the HCC IT team for online preparation & uploading the monthly & quarterly HSE performance & legal compliance report to create an online HSE database. Online Quality Observation Training (QOT) roll out to capture all non-conformities concerning quality practices & records the finding in the online system. This year IMS department initiated an online programme and quiz to propagate & enhance awareness among the staff on HSE & quality requirements during the lockdown period.

In February 2021, the RAPP 7&8 project was bestowed with Project Safety Award-2020 by NPCIL based on safety efforts put in by our team and overall safety performance during the year-2020. In March'21, three HCC projects have won the Certificate of Appreciation in the most prestigious Safety Awards-2020 (Construction Sector) established by the National Safety Council of India - Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India (GOI). The award is given for our exemplary Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) performance & commitment to reduce workplace injuries, implement the best OSH practices and encourage continual improvements.

STEINER AG

Steiner AG, HCC's wholly-owned subsidiary, is one of Switzerland's leading project developers and general contractors/total contractors (GC/TC), offering comprehensive services in new construction, refurbishment, and real estate development.

The business is primarily divided into three offerings.

ō First, the primary business of the Company is real estate development, including long-standing brownfield projects and redevelopment projects. The focus is on developing projects that will have a market in the future.

ō Second, Steiner is involved in General and Total Contracting, where it provides complete turnkey building services from design to construction.
ō Third, Steiner is evolving a model of developing financial vehicles that will fund real estate development and is working on partnerships with funds.

Some of the major projects being executed by Steiner AG are:

ō Construction of Glasi-quarter, a new urban district in Bülach with 500-plus apartments, a residential and care centre, a hotel and over 20,000 m² of light-industrial and service-sector units, worth approx. CHF 350 million.
ō The new Horizont hospital building at Frauenfeld Cantonal Hospital includes an interdisciplinary outpatient clinic, an ultra-modern operating theatre area and much more, worth CHF 160 million.
ō Gloggeguet residential development in Schaffhausen, worth CHF 40 million and includes the construction of five new blocks containing 27 rental and 71 privately owned apartments.
ō Manegg Mitte development in Zurich worth approx. CHF 140 million, comprising two residential buildings with 151 owner-occupied apartments and a third new-build with 101 cooperative apartments and light-industrial units.

Steiner AG reported revenues of CHF 705 million (5,655 crore) in the financial year 2020-21 as compared to CHF 802 million (5,779 crore) in the previous year (restated) and a profit of CHF 3.6 million (30 crore) as compared to a net profit of CHF 28.0 million (201 crore) in the previous year (restated).

In addition to this, the Company has secured orders for CHF 13 million (`101 crore), where contracts are yet to be signed.

The World Health Organization officially declared the spread of COVID19 as a pandemic as of March 12, 2020. Various lockdowns, construction site closures, illness-related absences of skilled site workers and bottlenecks at its suppliers have not left the Steiner Group unscathed. Throughout the COVID19 pandemic, the Company's top priority was to ensure the health and safety of its employees and partners. Steiner has therefore been swift in deploying strict hygiene and safety measures for all its construction sites as well as its office spaces.

In February 2021, Steiner Group's Board of Directors decided to adapt the Company's business model so that Steiner can emerge from the COVID19 crisis with renewed strength. In the future, the Company will focus on developing its own projects to transform Steiner AG into a leading developer with supporting construction expertise.

Steiner AG's subsidiary Steiner India Ltd. has achieved strong initial traction in India, having successfully completed designbuild /turnkey GC/TC key high rise residential, hospitality and industrial projects in Mumbai, NCR and Kolkata. Recently has been awarded a five-star category project, "The Park" in Pune

HUMAN RESOURCES (HR)

During the FY 2021, no industry has been immune to the impact of COVID19, though few were more impacted than others. The construction industry has been one such industry that is peopleintensive, and traditionally, people are required to work in close proximity to each other at project sites. This created a major challenge in meeting strict COVID19 protocol requirements, including physical distancing and required several workarounds to keep our workforce safe, meet the lockdown and COVID19 restrictions of each state we operate in and yet continue with our operations.

At the offices, work from home (WFH) became the norm. Guidelines were issued to ensure that employees could manage WFH seamlessly and securely. In many cases, employees were supported with digital infrastructure laptops/desktops, data cards etc., to ensure business continuity. On re-opening of the offices, COVID19 protocols such as wearing of masks, sanitization and social distancing were ensured in our offices.

Periodic communication on safety protocols, hygiene practices, emergency numbers, list of hospitals, guidelines for quarantining and isolating, and much more were provided by HR. Also, assistance was provided by HR to employees at all project sites and their families across India needing medical help.

During the pandemic, the processes relating to key HR activities like recruitment, on-boarding, and learning & development underwent a change. Entire recruitment process was made on-line, on-boarding new hires underwent a change to become fully digital & virtual induction process was introduced. Training mostly remained on-line only and limited to on the job training.

During the year, the engineers and officers number remained at around 1,200. Hiring of few key positions at the Head Office and for project sites were successfully completed. Attrition, post re-opening was on the higher side due to employees wanting to move closer to home town and family, which stabilised over the next few months. Considering the financial constraints, during and post re-opening, few cost control measures were also adopted like temporary salary reduction etc.

With the pandemic continuing, HR is working on converting a part of training and skilling to online mode. Many of the online HR processes already implemented like online Performance Management System, Employee Portal etc. will ensure that HR activities & employee connect do not get affected due to work from home or remote working.

While we have kept and will continue to keep the safety and security of our workforce and their families as our first priority, we are constantly working on making our workforce more productive by continuously exploring and reviewing different HR practices.

Lender Resolution Plan

a. Lenders' liability not exceeding `4,000 crore

The amount identified above will be initially novated/assigned by the Company to the Prolific Resolution Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The final amount of debt along with the economic/beneficial interest in awards and claims to be assigned will depend on when precisely the Resolution Plan will close, as the debt amount to be carved out will include all over dues till the date of implementation of Resolution Plan.

The Company will subsequently sell/transfer/dilute or otherwise dispose of up to 51% of its equity shareholding to the investor.

lender consortium, with one lender having committed to do so along with their final board approval. The plan was submitted in March to the Overseeing Committee (OC) for its approval. However, it was subsequently clarified by the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) that there was no requirement of OC, and the Lenders are currently in the process of granting their final approvals.

Execution of Arbitration Awards

The Company has filed several Execution Petitions for deposit and collection of monies in various Courts for the Arbitration Award(s) passed in its favour.

a. For challenging the Arbitral Awards gone in favour of the Contractors/Concessioners, the governmental entity will take the opinion of Law Officer – Attorney General of India/ Solicitor General of India/Additional Solicitor General of India in consultation with Department of Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Law & Justice as per the procedure laid down in this respect.
b. For the arbitral awards challenged in the Court, the Government Entity will pay 75% of such awards to the contractor/concessionaire against a bank guarantee only for 75% amount and not for its interest component.
c. In cases where BG for interest component already submitted by the contractor, the same will be refunded. The Court order will prescribe the rate of interest, and the same will prevail.

To avoid litigations, the GOI in the Union Budget has proposed a conciliation mechanism for resolving disputes in the construction industry. Para 135 of Budget provides as under:

To have ease of doing business for those who deal with Government or CPSEs and carry out Contracts, I propose to set up a Conciliation Mechanism and mandate its use for quick resolution of Contractual disputes. This will instil confidence in private sector investors and contractors.

This mechanism is likely to spur private investment in the Infrastructure sector, which is greatly problematic due to mechanical challenging of awards and long delays in dispute resolution. The above mechanism-specific mandate to the CPSEs will go a long way in helping the contractors and the government agencies to ensure the infrastructure projects are completed with minimum delays as the disputes would be settled and the money would be available during the performance of the Contracts.

5. COVID-19-Impact on Business Operations

During the year, project performance was sorely affected due to the imposition of lockdown and various restrictions post lockdown by Government authorities. Disruptions in supply chain management and non-availability of workmen at projects resulted in low turnover and affected the working capital cycle. Despite the above challenges, projects have made additional efforts to remobilize the required workmen and made the transportation arrangements to bring the manpower required to execute works and strengthen the supply chain management with the improved vendor management. Though clients have agreed to sanction the extension of time as per Government guidelines, most of the clients are yet to sanction payment for compensation towards lockdown period costs. While projects have reached the required level of resources and are expected to deliver performance as per the normal operating level, any future lockdowns or restrictions will disrupt the construction cycle.

6. Share Capital of the Company

The present paid-up Equity Share Capital of the Company is 1,51,30,28,244/- comprising of 1,51,30,28,244 Equity Shares having face value of 1/- each.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of Hindustan Construction Company Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Hindustan Construction Company Limited and its joint operations (together referred to as 'the Company'), as listed in Annexure I, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
1. 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 other auditors on the separate financial statements/ financial information of the joint operations as referred to in paragraph 20 below, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid standalone 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 state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2021, and its loss (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. As stated in:
(i) Note 27.1 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has accounted for managerial remuneration paid/ payable to Whole Time Directors (including Chairman and Managing Director) of the Company aggregating ` 27.07 crore for the financial years ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020, in excess of the limits prescribed under Section 197 of the Act, in respect of which approvals from the shareholders have been obtained as prescribed, however prior approval from the lenders of the Company in accordance with Section 197 has not been obtained by the Company.

Our audit report dated 9 July 2020 on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

(ii) Note 17.4 to the standalone financial statements, the Company's current borrowings and other current financial liabilities as at 31 March 2021 include balances amounting to 2.10 crore and 500.72 crore, respectively, in respect of which direct confirmations from the respective banks/ lenders have not been

received. Further, in respect of certain loans, while the principal balances have been confirmed from the direct confirmations issued by the banks/ lenders, the interest accrued amounting to 115.37 crore has not been confirmed by the banks/ lenders. Further, direct confirmations from banks have not been received for balances with banks included under cash and cash equivalents and earmarked balances/ deposits with banks included under bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, as at 31 March 2021 amounting to 2.10 crore and ` 10.91 crore, respectively. In the absence of such direct confirmations from the banks/ lenders or sufficient and appropriate alternate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the adjustments and changes in classification of balances in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 1, Presentation of financial statements, if any, that may be required to the carrying value of the aforementioned balances in the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Our audit report dated 9 July 2020 on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

(iii) Note 9.1 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has recognised net deferred tax assets amounting to ` 715.99 crore outstanding as at 31 March 2021, on account of carried forward unused tax losses, unused tax credits and other taxable temporary differences which are continued to be recognised by the Company on the basis of expected availability of future taxable profits for utilization of such deferred tax assets. However, in view of the continued losses incurred by the Company, uncertainty with respect to outcome of the resolution plan and the impact of COVID-19 on business operations, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence with respect to the current projections prepared by the management and therefore, are unable to comment on any adjustments that may be required to the carrying value of aforesaid deferred tax assets as at 31 March 2021.

Our audit report dated 9 July 2020 on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

(iv) Note 31.2 to the standalone financial statements, the Company had written back a loss provision aggregating ` 331.40 crore during the year ended 31 March 2020, which was earlier recognised by the Company during the year ended 31 March 2019 in cognizance of the assignment of beneficial interests/ rights in a portfolio of identified arbitration awards and claims based on a non-binding term sheet with a consortium of investors along with a letter of commitment, due to cancellation of the said proposed transaction. However, such write-back is inconsistent with the continued intent of the Company to sell/ assign the arbitration awards and claims of the Company to other potential investors as evidenced in the proposed resolution plan with lenders. Pending the finalization of the proposed resolution plan with lenders, we are unable to comment on the extent of loss provision required to be provided for in the financial statements as at 31 March 2021.

Our audit report dated 9 July 2020 on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI') together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and that obtained by other auditors, in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 20 of the Other Matters section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2(v) to the standalone financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss of 566.45 crore during the year ended 31 March 2021 and, as of that date, the Company's accumulated losses amounts to 2,332.73 crore, which have resulted in substantial erosion of net worth of the Company. As further disclosed in aforesaid note, the Company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest in respect of its borrowings and has overdue operational creditors outstanding as at 31 March 2021. Certain operational creditors have also applied to the National Company Law Tribunal ('NCLT') for the debt resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, which have not been admitted by the NCLT for further proceedings as of the date of this report. The above factors, together with uncertainties relating to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of the Company as described in Note 2(iv)(a) to the standalone financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, based on ongoing discussion/ negotiations with the lenders, including lenders of an erstwhile subsidiary, for restructuring of loans which are subject to their internal approvals, revised business plans and other mitigating factors as mentioned in the Note 2(v) to the standalone financial statements, management is of the view that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for preparation of the accompanying standalone financial statements.
1. The above assessment of the Company's ability to continue as going concern is by its nature considered as a key audit matter in accordance with SA 701. In relation to the above key audit matter, our audit work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
a) Obtaining an understanding of the management's process for identifying all events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the company's ability to continue as a going concern and a process to assess the corresponding mitigating factors existing against each such event or condition. Also, obtained an understanding around the methodology adopted by the Company to assess their future business performance including the preparation of a cash flow forecast for the business;
b) Evaluating the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around aforesaid identification of events or conditions and mitigating factors, and controls around cash flow projections prepared by the management;
c) Obtaining from the management, its projected cash flows for the next twelve months basis their future business plans;
d) Assessing the methodology used by the management to estimate the cash flow projections including the appropriateness of the key assumptions in the cash flow projections for next 12 months by considering our understanding of the business and past performance of the Company apart from discussing these assumptions with the management and the Audit Committee;
e) Testing mathematical accuracy of the projections and applied independent sensitivity analysis to the key assumptions to determine and ensure that there was sufficient headroom with respect to the estimation uncertainty impact of such assumptions on the calculations; and
f) Assessing that the disclosures made by the management are in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matters

1. We draw attention to Note 2(iv)(a) to the standalone financial statements, which describes the effects of uncertainties relating to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the Company's operations and management's evaluation of its impact on the accompanying standalone financial statements as at the reporting date, the extent of which is significantly dependent on future developments.
1. Note 21.2 to the standalone financial statements regarding delays in payment of foreign currency trade payables against the supply of goods and payment of foreign currency capital vendors against the supply of equipment aggregating ` 38.22

crore and ` 3.19 crore, respectively, that are outstanding as at 31 March 2021 for a period beyond the timelines stipulated in FED Master Direction No. 17/2016-17, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. The management of the Company is in the process of regularising these defaults by filing necessary applications with the appropriate authority for condonation of such delays. The management is of the view that the penalties, if any, which may be levied for these contraventions is currently unascertainable and is not expected to be material to the accompanying standalone financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying standalone financial statements does not carry any consequential adjustments with respect to such delays/ defaults.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

Key Audit Matters

1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors as referred to in paragraph 20 below, 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.
1. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion and Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern sections, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter (a) Assessment of impairment of investment in subsidiary (Refer note 34 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company, as at 31 March 2021, has non-current investment of ` 1,571.65 crore in HCC Infrastructure Company Limited ('HICL'), its wholly owned subsidiary.

HICL has an investment of 85.45% in HCC Concessions Limited ('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 2021 has fully eroded. Given the losses incurred by HCL, the management was required to assess its investment for impairment.

The management based on certain estimates and other factors, including subsidiary's future business plans, growth prospects, valuation report from an independent valuer, future considerations from an entity disposed-off during the year, expected outcome of the arbitration/ litigations and legal advice in respect of certain claims, as described in the said note, management believes that the realizable amount is higher than the carrying value of the non-current investment due to which this is considered as good and recoverable.

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.

Further, considering this matter is fundamental to the understanding of the users of the financial statements, we draw attention to Note 34 to the standalone financial statement, regarding the Company's non-current investment in a subsidiary company, HCC Infrastructure Company Limited.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

(b) Uncertainties relating to recoverability of unbilled work-in-progress (other current assets) and current trade receivables (Refer note 35 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company, as at 31 March 2021, has unbilled work-inprogress (other current assets) and current trade receivables amounting to 833.67 crore and 295.33 crore, respectively, which represent various receivables in respect of projects closed/ substantially closed/ suspended and where the claims are currently under negotiations/ discussions/ arbitration/ litigation.

Further, current trade receivables as at 31 March 2021 includes 2,748.55 crore, representing favorable arbitration awards (including interest thereon) which have subsequently been challenged by the clients in courts. Further, during the year ended 31 March 2021, the Company has settled certain favorable arbitration awards and claims with one of the customers amounting to 1,213.39 crore at a net loss of ` 274.03 crore, which has been considered as an exceptional item as further described in Note 31.1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Management, based on contractual tenability of the claims/ receivables, 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 the aforementioned receivables.

However, 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.

Further, considering this matter is fundamental to the understanding of the users of financial statements, we draw attention to Note 35 to the standalone financial statement, regarding uncertainties relating to recoverability of above discussed receivables.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:

ō 2EWDLQLQJDQXQGHUVWDQGLQJRIWKHPDQDJHPHQWSURFHVV and evaluating the design and testing the effectiveness of key internal financial controls for assessing the recoverability of unbilled work-in-progress (other current assets) and current trade receivables

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

(c) Recognition of contract revenue, margin and contract costs (Refer note 2(xx) to the standalone financial statements)

The Company's revenue primarily arises from construction contracts which, by its nature, is complex given the significant judgements involved in the assessment of current and future contractual performance obligations.

The Company recognizes contract revenue and the resultant profit/ loss on the basis of stage of completion determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred at balance sheet date, relative to the total estimated costs of the contract at completion. The recognition of contract revenue and the resultant profit/ loss therefore rely on estimates in relation to forecast revenue and forecast contract costs.

Our audit procedures to address this key audit matter included, but were not limited to the following:

ō (YDOXDWLQJWKHDSSURSULDWHQHVVRIWKH&RPSDQ\łV accounting policy for revenue recognition;
ō 2EWDLQLQJDQXQGHUVWDQGLQJRIWKH&RPSDQ\łVSURFHVVHV and evaluating the design and tested effectiveness of key internal financial controls, including those related to review and approval of contract estimates;
ō )RUDVDPSOHRIFRQWUDFWVWHVWLQJWKHDSSURSULDWHQHVV of contract revenue recognized by evaluating key management judgements inherent in the forecasted contract revenue and costs to complete, including:

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 revenue on contracts which may also include variable considerations that are recognised when the recovery of such consideration is highly probable. The judgment is also required to be exercised to assess the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete. 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 judgments, complexities involved and material impact on the related financial statement elements, this area has been considered a key audit matter in the audit of the standalone financial statements.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board Report and Management Discussion and Analysis Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

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.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

1. 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.
1. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;

We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
1. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
1. 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.

ANNEXURE III TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Annexure III to the Independent Auditor's Report of even date to the members of Hindustan Construction Company Limited, on the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021

Independent Auditor's Report on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company as at that date.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
1. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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 qualified opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 with Reference to Financial Statements

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

Qualified opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at 31 March 2021:

financial statements, as per the applicable accounting standards, were not operating effectively, which could lead to a material misstatement in the carrying value of deferred tax assets and its resultant impact on loss, reserves and surplus and related disclosures in respect thereof as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021. c) The Company's internal financial controls system

such non-compliance.

a) The Company did not have an appropriate internal

provisions of section 197 of the Companies Act,

for payment/ accrual of remuneration exceeding

employee benefit expenses, financial assets and

respect to assessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets, as explained in Note 9.1 to the standalone

with respect to the assessment of recoverability of specified financial assets, as explained in Note 31.2 to the standalone financial statements, as per the applicable accounting standards, were not operating effectively, which has resulted in material misstatement in the carrying value of the specified financial assets and its resultant impact on loss, reserves and surplus and related disclosures in respect thereof as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021.
1. A 'material weakness' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
control system with respect to compliance with the 2013 relating to obtaining prior approval from lenders the specified limits, as explained in Note 27.1 to the standalone financial statements, which has resulted in a material misstatement in the value of Company's resultant impact on the loss after tax and the reserves and surplus including levy of fine, if any, on account of b) The Company's internal financial controls system with 10. In our opinion except for the possible effects of the material weakness described in paragraph 8(a) above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company in all material respects, has adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements as at 31 March 2021 and except for the effects/ possible effects of the material weaknesses described in paragraph 8(b) and 8(c) above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, 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.
1. We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued a modified opinion on the standalone financial statements.

ii. Forfeited debentures account

The Company 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 received on issue of shares or debentures. This account is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

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 item 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 asset / liability 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 Company has earned / incurred till date inlcuding gain / (loss) on fair value of defined benefits plans as adjusted for distirbutions to owners, transfer to other reserves, etc.

viii. Other comprehensive income

The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within FVTOCI reserve within equity. The Company transfers amount from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.

NOTE 2 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, 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 (` 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 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 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. Estimation uncertainty related to the global health pandemic on COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 had disrupted regular business operations of the Company due to the lock down restrictions and other emergency measures imposed by the Government from time to time. The operations of the Company have started recovering from the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 pandemic and reaching normalcy. The management has taken into account the possible impacts of known events, upto the date of the approval of these financial statements, arising from COVID-19 pandemic on the carrying value of the assets and liabilities as at 31 March 2021. While the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, there exists uncertainty in estimating the future impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and, accordingly, the actual impact in the future may be different from those presently estimated.

b. Contract estimates

Refer note 2(xx) below

c. Variable consideration (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/ arbitration/ litigation with the clients. 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/or external experts, wherever necessary. Changes in facts of the case or the legal framework may impact realisability of these claims.

d. 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.

e. Deferred tax assets

The realization of deferred 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 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 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.

f. 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.

g. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of assets are determined by the management at the time of acquisition of asset and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

h. 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 Going concern

The Company has incurred net loss of 566.45 crore during the year ended 31 March 2021 and as of that date, has accumulated losses aggregating 2,332.73 crore which has resulted in substantial erosion of its net worth. The Company also continues to default on payment to lenders along with overdue to operational creditors. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted business operations of the Company during the period and there continues to exist uncertainty with respect to the pandemic on Company's operations. The above factors indicate that events or conditions exist, which may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.

As at 31 March 2021, the Company has received and accounted favorable arbitration awards (including interest thereon) aggregating 2,748.55 crore (net of advance 2,738.80 crore). Further, the Company has also lodged claims aggregating ` 9,776 crore on its customers which are presently at various stages of negotiation/

discussion/ arbitration/ litigation. The Company is in advanced stages of completing a resolution plan with lenders of the Company, including resolution of debts of an erstwhile subsidiary, whose liabilities were taken over by the Company in earlier years at settlement value basis the settlement terms entered between the Company and lenders. Pursuant to the resolution plan, economic and beneficial interest of a portion of the aforesaid arbitration awards and claims of the Company along with liabilities, represented by debt and accrued interest, will be transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The resolution plan has received an in-principal approval from majority lenders and is subject to final approval by their respective Board/ Committees. Also, the Board of Directors of the Company, have approved the aforementioned resolution plan on 27 May 2021 and will be put up for approval with the shareholders in the ensuing extra-ordinary general meeting. The Company is confident of concluding the resolution plan under guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India and accordingly trade receivables as at 31 March 2021 aggregating ` 2,748.55 crore expected to be transferred to the wholly owned subsidiary has been classified as current as at 31 March 2021.

Accordingly, based on the expectation of the implementation of the resolution plan with lenders, as well as the underlying strength of the Company's business plans and the future growth outlook as assessed, the management is confident of improving the credit profile of the Company, including through time-bound monetisation of assets including arbitration awards, claims and other assets which would result in it being able to meet its obligations in due course of time. Accordingly, the management considers it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.

vi 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.

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 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.

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 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.

x 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.

xi 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.

xii Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are recognised at cost as per Ind AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements, 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.

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 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 Company 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

i) 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.

ii) 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 re-measured.

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.

iii) 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. 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.

xv 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.

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 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.

xviii 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.

xix 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 adjusted to the carrying value of the assets 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.

xx Revenue recognition

a Contract Revenue

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. The Company derives revenues primarily from providing engineering and construction 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.

During the previous year, the Company changed the method of measuring progress i.e. from output method to input method as specified in Ind-AS 115 – 'Revenue from Contract with Customers' consequent to change in the circumstances including change in the nature of contracts secured by the Company during recent years. Consequently, the percentage-of-completion of a contract is now determined by the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed upto the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract costs. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.

Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring good or service to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party and is adjusted for variable considerations.

Contract revenue earned in excess of certification are classified as contract assets (which we refer as unbilled work-in-progress) while certification in excess of contract revenue are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as due to customer). Advance payments received from contractee for which no services are rendered are presented as 'Advance from contractee'.

clauses, changes in scope, incentives, if any. The Company considers its experience with similar transactions and expectations regarding the contract in estimating the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled and determining whether the estimated variable consideration should be constrained. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.The estimates of variable consideration are based largely on an assessment of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.

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.

Costs to obtain a contract which are incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are charged-off in Statement of Profit and Loss immediately in the period in which such costs are incurred.

Interest on arbitration awards

Interest awarded, being in the nature of additional compensation under the terms of the contract, is accounted as other operating revenue on receipt of favourable arbitration award.

xxi Other income

a. Interest income

Interest income (other than interest on income tax refund) 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 non-operating 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.

xxii 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.

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 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. 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.

b. Deferred tax

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.

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

Effective 1 April 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 - Leases using the modified retrospective approach, as a result of which the comparative information is not required to be restated. Comparatives as at and for the year ended 31 March 2020 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies included as part of our Annual Report for year ended 31 March 2021.

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for vehicles and building and shed. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of the consideration.

At the date of the commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a corresponding lease liability for all the lease arrangements in which it is a lease, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. The estimated useful life of the assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Carrying amount of right-of-use asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The future lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. For a lease with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole.

Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet. Further, lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

xxv 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.

xxvi 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).

xxvii Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

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 nonoccurrence 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.

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for.

xxviii 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.

xxix Exceptional items

When items of income and expense within statement of 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.

xxx Recent accounting pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such notification which would have been applicable to the Company effective 1 ApriI 2021.

NOTE 9 INCOME TAX ASSETS (NET)...Contd.

Note 9.1 On 20 September 2019, vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019, the Government of India inserted Section 115BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961 which provides domestic companies a non-reversible option to pay corporate tax at reduced rates effective 1 April 2019 subject to certain conditions. However, the Company having significant brought forward tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation on which deferred tax asset has been recognised, is still evaluating and has not yet elected to exercise the option permitted under section 115BAA. In view of the above, there is no impact of the new tax rate on the standalone financial statements for the current period.

During the previous year, the Company had written off deferred tax assets aggregating 151.30 crore due to expiry of statutory period for setting off underlying losses. As at 31 March 2021, the Company continues to recognize net deferred tax assets amounting to 715.99 crore (31 March 2020: ` 437.08 crore) on account of carried forward unused tax losses, unused tax credits and other taxable temporary differences. Based on the expected profits from the unexecuted orders on hand, outcome of the ongoing discussion with lenders for restructuring of loans and expected settlement of arbitration awards, the Company's management is confident that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets will be realized.

Note 15.1 In earlier years, the Company had signed a definitive agreement for sale of Panchkutir Developers Limited ('PDL'), a subsidiary of the Company, for an aggregate consideration of 105 crore, which was subject to completion of certain condition precedents as specified in the agreement. Further, an advance of12 crore was also received towards the sale of shares in PDL. As a result, this was classified as an 'Assets classified as held for sale'.

However, considering the present market conditions, the Company does not foresee to complete the transaction in the next twelve months and the sale no longer classifes as 'highly probable' in accordance with Ind AS 105 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Accordingly, as at 31 March 2021, the same has been re-classified as "Investments in subsidiaries" under "Non-current assets".

Note 15.2 During the previous year, the Company had entered into an agreement with a subsidiary company to develop the land parcel admeasuring 21,208.65 sq. mtrs. or thereaabouts and having a built-up area of 98,491 sq. mtrs. situated at Vikhroli under the registration district of Mumbai suburban city. An advance of ` 20.20 crore has been received as per the terms of the agreement and presently the feasibility study and due diligence are in progress. The completion of the sale transaction has been significantly delayed due to COVID-19 but the management remains committed to the sale. Accordingly, as at 31 March 2021, the sale of land continues to be highly probable and hence classified as 'Assets classified as held for sale'.

Note 15.3 During the previous year, the Company had entered into an agreement for sale of a Helicopter including all its related parts and ancillary items for a consideration of ` 8.75 crore. As a result, this was classified as an "Assets classified as held for sale" and measured at lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. During the current year, the requisite approval from Director General of Civil Aviation has been obtained and consequently the asset has been disposed off and sale consideration has been realised.

Note 18.1 Details of security and terms of repayment

Liability towards invocation of put options and corporate guarantees by lenders of Lavasa Corporation Limited ('LCL')

(i) In earlier years, pursuant to sanction letters entered with lenders of LCL, liabilities aggregating 865.23 crore were taken over by the Company at 513.73 crore. As per the sanction letters, these liabilities carried an interest of 9.5% p.a. compounded quarterly with effect from 1 October 2018 and were to be repaid by 31 March 2023 from realization of certain identified claims. However, as per the current resolution plan, which has received an in-principal approval from majority lenders and is subject to final approval by their respective Board/ Committees, the aforesaid lenders LCL would be paid between September 2022 to December 2028. Further, these identified claims are currently charged in favour of lenders of the Company, post the approval

NOTE 18 OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES...Contd.

of the resolution plan and receipt of sanctions from the Company's lenders for release of charge in favour of lenders of LCL, the security on such identified claims will be created in favor of certain lenders of LCL. Also in the previous year, one of the LCL lenders issued a letter to the Company for revocation of the settlement. However, based on the negotiations and discussion by the management, the lender has agreed to participate in the Company's resolution plan.

Pending the final approvals, the differential between the liability pursuant to the put option agreement and the liability as per the sanction letter/ proposed terms under the Resolution Plan, has been reported as Contingent Liability in the financial statements [Refer note 33(B)(ii)]

(ii) In addition to the above, lenders of LCL had invoked corporate guarantees of the Company during the financial year ended 31 March 2019. Accordingly, the liability of ` 232.20 crore has been recognised by the Company. Pursuant to the ongoing discussion with the consortium lenders on the proposed resolution plan, the Company is re-negotiating its liability towards the lenders of LCL. Pending outcome of the negotiations, the liabilities continue to be accounted at the full value along with interest accrued thereon.

Note: 18.2 Includes 135.83 crore (31 March 2020: 77.62 crore) and 120.19 crore (31 March 2020: 66.30 crore) in respect of non-current interest accrued but not due and current interest accrued but not due respectively, towards financial liabilities of LCL assumed as mentioned in Note 18.1 above.

Notes

Disclosure on revenue pursuant to Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

(a) Disaggregation of revenue

Company's entire business falls under one operational segment of 'Engineering and Construction'. Contract revenue represents revenue from Engineering and Construction contracts wherein the performance obligation is satisfied over a period of time. Further, the management believes that the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from all its contracts are similar. Accordingly, disclosure of revenue recognised from contracts disaggregated into categories has not been made.

(b) Unsatisfied performance obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as at the end of reporting period is 17,914 crore (31 March 2020:16,857 crore). Most of Company's contracts have a life cycle of four to five years. Management expects that around 15%-20% of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied contracts as of 31 March 2021 will be recognised as revenue during next reporting period depending upon the progress on each contracts. The remaining amounts are expected to be recognised over the next three to four years. The amount disclosed above does not include variable consideration.

(c) Contract balances

(i) Movement in contract balances during the year:

			` crore
Particulars	Contract Assets	Contract Liabilities	Net Contract

Balance as at 31 March 2021	2,269.24	112.20	2,157.04

Note: Decrease in contract assets is primarily due to higher certification of progress bills as compared to revenue recognised during the year. Further, contract liability has decreased due to higher recognition of revenue as compared to progress bills raised during the year.

(ii) Revenue recognised during the year from opening balance of contract liability (i.e. due to customer) amounts to 130.44 crore (31 March 2020: 147.87 crore)
(iii) Revenue recognised during the year from the performance obligation satisfied upto previous year amounts to 4.63 crore (31 March 2020: 225.10 crore)
(d) Out of the total revenue recognised during the year, 2,567.04 crore (31 March 2020: 3,643.64 crore) is recognised over a period of time and 22.70 crore (31 March 2020: 2.99 crore) is recognised at a point in time.

Pursuant to the above settlements, the Company's receivables, representing a favorable arbitration award and claims as EPC contractor, with carrying value of 635.27 crore (net of advances 433.20 crore) in the books of account have been settled for 682.55 crore. The resultant profit of 47.28 crore (net) has been recognized by the Company as an exceptional item in the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. Further, during the year, the Company also entered into similar settlement agreement to conciliate long pending dispute in respect of arbitration awards published in the Company's favour, for two completed projects, which were being contested by the customer in Courts.

Accordingly, the Company recognised the resultant loss aggregating 321.31 crore as an exceptional item.

Though the Company had a fair chance to recover entire money over the period, however, considering the time involved in the litigation and urgent need to realize monies urgently to tie up its cashflow deficit for its operations, the Company has opted for these conciliations, as per the scheme provided u/s 73 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 2015 by Ministry of Road Transport Highways.

Note 34 The Company, as at 31 March 2021, has non-current investments amounting to 1,571.65 crore (31 March 2020: 1,574.90 crore) in its subsidiary, HCC Infrastructure Company Limited ('HICL') which is holding 85.45% in HCC Concessions Limited ('HCL') having Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) SPVs under its fold. HICL has incurred significant losses and the consolidated net-worth as at 31 March 2021 has been fully eroded. However, the net-worth of HICL 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, pursuant to the share purchase agreement for sale of a BOT SPV by HCL during the year, HCL continues to remain entitled to an earn-out consideration and royalty representing revenue share from the BOT SPV over concessions period, which are estimated to be significantly material. Also, one of its entity has claims against its customer mainly in respect of cost-overrun arising due to client caused delays and termination of contracts which are under arbitration/ litigation wherein management has been legally advised that it has good case on merits. Therefore, based on certain estimates of future business plans, growth prospects, future consideration from the entity sold as well as considering the contractual tenability and expected outcome of arbitration/ litigations, the management believes that the realizable amount of HICL is higher than the carrying value of the non-current investments due to which these are considered as good and fully recoverable.

Note 35 'Unbilled work-in-progress (Other current assets), non-current trade receivables and current trade receivables include 833.67 crore (31 March 2020: 805.60 crore), Nil (31 March 2020: 293.08 crore) and 295.33 crore (31 March 2020: 395.91 crore), respectively, outstanding as at 31 March 2021 representing receivables from customers based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts mainly in respect of closed/ suspended projects. Further, current trade receivables as at 31 March 2021 also include 2,748.55 crore (net of advances of ` 2,738.80 crore), representing claims awarded in arbitration, including interest thereon, in favour of the Company which have been challenged by the customers in higher courts. These aforementioned receivables are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design, recoveries made 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 in certain contentious matters, the management is confident of recovery 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 loss before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

		` crore
	31 March 2021	31 March 2020
Increase in basis points	50 basis points
Effect on loss before tax, increase by	10.47	7.33
Decrease in basis points	50 basis points
Effect on loss before tax, decrease by	10.47	7.33

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.

NOTE 40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...Contd.

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.

The following table analyses foreign currency risk from financial instruments as at 31 March 2021:

* represents amount less than ` 1 lakh.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company's net 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 on the operating profits / (losses) of the Company.

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 review and approve all equity investment decisions.

Sensitivity analysis

As at 31 March 2021, the exposure to listed equity securities at fair value was 4.56 crore (31 March 2020: 2.91 crore). Changes in this exposure would not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Company.

NOTE 40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...Contd.

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 current 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 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. Further the Company does not have a history of credit losses from such government promoted agencies, accordingly, provision for expected credit loss is not made in respect of trade receivables.

	As at 31 March 2021		As at 31 March 2020
	`crore \| % \|` crore	%
Trade Receivables
- from government promoted corporation	4,382.72	99.65%	4,532.59	99.80%
- from private third parties	15.49	0.35%	9.10	0.20%
Total trade receivables	4,398.21	100.00%	4,541.69	100.00%

b) Financial assets other than trade receivables

Financial assets other than trade receivables comprise of cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, 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 extremely 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
	31 March 2021	31 March 2020
Revenue from top customer	288.07	519.37
Revenue from top five customers	1,202.21	1,771.39

For the year ended 31 March 2021, three (31 March 2020: two) 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.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities:

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 (excluding interest accrued and due and interest accrued but not due) divided by total capital (equity).

Total debt to equity ratio (Gearing ratio)	6.46	2.86
Total equity (` crore)	611.86	1,178.74
Total debt^ (` crore)	3,951.81	3,370.23
	As at 31 March 2021	As at 31 March 2020
		` crore

Notes:

(i) excludes 1,001.95 crore (31 March 2020: 889.85 crore) representing financial liabilities (including interest) of an erstwhile subsidiary taken over by the Company.

(ii) excludes interest accrued aggregatig 1,408.95 crore (31 March 2020: 891.14 crore) on total debt of the Company.

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.

NOTE 42 LEASES - IND AS 116

1. Impact on transition to Ind AS 116

Effective 1 April 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116, Leases, which, applied to all lease contracts outstanding as at 1 April 2019, using modified retrospective at the date of initial application, at an amount equal to lease lability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application.

The Company has made use of the following practical expedients available in its transition to Ind AS 116 .

(a) The Company will not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of lease in accordance with Ind AS 17 will continue to be applied to lease contracts entered by the Company or modified by the Company before 1 April 2019.
(b) The Company has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment. Consequently, the Company has recorded its lease liability using the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application and the right-of- use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease but discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
(c) The Company excluded the initial direct costs from measurement of the Right-of-use (RoU) asset at the date of initial application.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities is 12.50 %.

Right-of-use Assets:

(i) On transition, the Company has recognised right-of-use assets aggregating ` 5.87 crore.
(ii) The net carrying value of right-of-use assets as at 31 March 2021 amounts to 1.33 crore (31 March 2020 amounts to 2.17 crore) have been disclosed on the face of the balance sheet (Refer Note 3B).

NOTE 42 LEASES - IND AS 116...Contd.

				During the previous quarter, the Company was advised by a senior legal counsel that the requisite approval from lenders for payment of remuneration in earlier years through Monitoring Committee of lenders is still valid and persisting and there was no need to obtain fresh approvals from lenders under Section 197 of the Act. Accordingly, based on the legal advice, the Company adjusted the excess remuneration paid to the CMD, held in trust, for the financial year 2013-14 with the unpaid remuneration for the financial year 2014-2015 and also the excess managerial remuneration for the financial year 2015-16 has been regularized.

Further, in respect of non-current borrowings and current borrowings aggregating 871.75 crore (31 December 2020: 1,396.01 crore and 31 March 2020: 864.23 crore), while the lenders have confirmed the principal outstanding, the accrued interest aggregating 115.37 crore (31 December 2020: 87.50 crore and 31 March 2020: 42.76 crore) have not been confirmed. In the absence of confirmations/ statements from the lenders, the Company has provided for interest and other penal charges on these borrowings based on the latest communication available from the respective lenders at the interest rate specified in the agreement. The Company's management believes that amount payable on settlement will not exceed the liability provided in books in respect of these borrowings. Further, for balances with banks (included under cash and cash equivalents), earmarked balances/ fixed deposits, included under bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents and guarantees issued by banks on behalf of the Company as at 31 March 2021 include balances amounting to 2.10 crore (31 December 2020: Nil and 31 March 2020: Nil), 10.91 crore (31 December 2020: 20.97 crore and 31 March 2020: 5.46 crore) and Nil (31 December 2020: Nil and 31 March 2020: ` 76.93 crore), respectively, in respect of which confirmation/ statements from banks have not been received inspite of incessant efforts by Company's management.

II a) (iii) On 20 September 2019, vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019, the Government of India inserted Section 115BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961 which provides domestic companies a non-reversible option to pay corporate tax at reduced rates effective 1 April 2019 subject to certain conditions. However, the Company having significant amount of brought forward tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation on which deferred tax asset has been recognised, is still evaluating and has not yet elected to exercise the option permitted under section 115BAA. In view of the above, there is no impact of the new tax rate on the standalone financial results for the current period.

As at 31 March 2021, the Company continues to recognize net deferred tax assets amounting to 715.99 crore (31 March 2020: 437.08 crore) on account of carried forward unused tax losses, unused tax credits and other taxable temporary differences. Based on the expected profits from the unexecuted orders on hand, outcome of the ongoing discussion with

		lenders for restructuring of loans and expected settlement of arbitration awards, the Company management is confident that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets will be realized.
	II a) (iv)	During the year ended 31 March 2019, the Company had recognized a provision of `331.40 crore pursuant to the signing of a non-binding term<br>sheet with a consortium of investors along with a letter of commitment,<br>for an assignment of the beneficial interest in portfolio of identified<br>arbitration awards and claims ('specified assets') for an aggregate<br>consideration of` 1,750 crore. The said provision continued thereafter in view of mutual extension of the said transaction till 31 December 2019. In the absence of any further extension, the Company decided to cancel this proposed transaction, which had been reported to and confirmed by statutory auditors. Pursuant to the cancellation of the aforesaid transaction, the provision of ` 331.40 crore, related to specified assets, recognized earlier has been written back during the year ended 31 March 2020.

However, in view of the continued losses incurred by the Holding Company, uncertainty with respect to the outcome of resolution plan and the impact of COVID-19 on business operations, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence with respect to the current projections prepared by the management and therefore, are unable to comment on any adjustments that may be required to the carrying value of aforesaid deferred tax assets as at 31 March 2021.

Our audit report dated 9 July 2020 on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

(iv) Note 33.2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Holding Company had written back a loss provision aggregating ` 331.40 crore during the year ended 31 March 2020, which was earlier recognised by the Holding Company during the year ended 31 March 2019 in cognizance of the assignment of beneficial interests / rights in a portfolio of identified arbitration awards and claims

based on a non-binding term sheet with a consortium of investors along with a letter of commitment, due to cancellation of the said proposed transaction. However, such write-back is inconsistent with the continued intent of the Holding Company to sell / assign the arbitration awards and claims of the Holding Company to other potential investors as evidenced in the proposed resolution plan with lenders. Pending the finalization of the proposed resolution plan with lenders, we are unable to comment on the extent of loss provision required to be provided for in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021.

Our audit report dated 9 July 2020 on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI') together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraphs 19 and 20 of the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2.1(vi) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Group has incurred a net loss of 610.02 crore during the year ended 31 March 2021 and, as of that date, that the Group has accumulated losses amounting to 4,219.36 crore as at 31 March 2021, which has resulted in full erosion of net worth of the Group and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by ` 370.41 crore as on that date. As further disclosed in aforesaid note, the Holding Company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest in respect of borrowings and has overdue operational creditors outstanding as at 31 March 2021. Certain operational creditors of the Holding Company have also applied to the National Company Law Tribunal ('NCLT') for the debt resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 which have not been admitted by the NCLT for further proceedings as of the date of this report. The above factors, together with the uncertainties relating to impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of the Group as described in Note 2.1(v)(a) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. However, based on ongoing discussion with the lenders of Holding Company and lenders of an erstwhile subsidiary of the Group, for restructuring of loans which

are subject to their internal approvals, revised business plans and other mitigating factors as mentioned in the Note 2.1(vi), the management is of the view that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The component auditors of twelve (12) subsidiaries, one (1) foreign subsidiary group {comprising of six (6) step-down subsidiaries, four (4) associates and two (2) joint ventures} and two (2) joint ventures have also reported material uncertainty relating to going concern in their auditor's report on the respective standalone / consolidated financial statements of such companies / group as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021. Further, the component auditor of one (1) subsidiary has issued an adverse opinion with respect to use of the going concern basis of accounting in the financial statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

1. The above assessment of the Group's ability to continue as going concern is by its nature considered as a key audit matter in accordance with SA 701. In relation to the above key audit matter, our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following procedures:
a) Obtaining an understanding of the management's process for identifying all events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and a process to assess the corresponding mitigating factors existing against each such event or condition. Also, obtaining an understanding around the methodology adopted by the Holding Company and twelve (12) subsidiaries, one (1) foreign subsidiary group {comprising of six (6) step-down subsidiaries, four (4) associates and two (2) joint ventures} and two (2) joint ventures; to assess their future business performance including the preparation of a cash flow forecast for the respective business;
b) Evaluating the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around aforesaid identification of events or conditions and mitigating factors, and controls around cash flow projections prepared by the respective managements;
c) Obtaining from the management, its projected cash flows for the next twelve months, basis their future business plans;
d) Assessing the methodology used by the respective management to estimate the cash flow projections including the appropriateness of the key assumptions in the cash flow projections for next 12 months by considering our understanding of the business and past performance of the Group, apart from discussing these assumptions with the management and the Audit Committee;
e) Testing mathematical accuracy of the projections of the respective entities and applying independent sensitivity analysis to the key assumptions to determine and ensure that there was sufficient headroom with respect to the estimation uncertainty impact of such assumptions on the calculations; and

f) Assessing that the disclosures made by the management are in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matters

7. We draw attention to:

(a) Note 2.1(v)(a) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which describes the effects of uncertainties relating to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the Group's operations and management's evaluation of its impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements as at the balance sheet date, the extent of which is significantly dependent on future developments.

The management of the Holding Company is in the process of regularising these defaults by filing necessary applications with the appropriate authority for condonation of such delays. The management is of the view that the penalties, if any, which may be levied for these contraventions is currently unascertainable and is not expected to be material to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment 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, joint ventures and joint operations, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion and Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

(b) 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)
Our audit procedures to address this key audit matter included, but were not limited to the following: ō 2EWDLQLQJDQXQGHUVWDQGLQJRIWKHPDQDJHPHQWSURFHVVHV evaluating the design and testing the effectiveness of key internal financial controls over assessing the recoverability of unbilled work-in-progress (other current assets) and current trade receivables; ō 'LVFXVVLQJH[WHQVLYHO\ZLWKPDQDJHPHQWUHJDUGLQJVWHSV taken for recovering the amounts;

(c) Recognition of contract revenue, margin and contract costs (Refer note 2.1 (xxii) to the consolidated financial statements)
The Group's revenue primarily arises from construction contracts which, by its nature, is complex given the significant judgements involved in the assessment of current and future contractual performance obligations. The Group recognizes contract revenue and the resultant profit/ loss on the basis of stage of completion determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred at balance sheet date, relative to the total estimated costs of the contract at completion. The recognition of contract revenue and the resultant profit/ loss therefore rely on estimates in relation to forecast revenue and forecast contract costs. 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 revenue on contracts which may also include variable considerations that are recognised when the recovery of such consideration is highly probable. The judgment is also required to be exercised to assess the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete. The final contract values can potentially be impacted on account of various factors and are expected to result in varied outcomes.

The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Directors Report, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors. The Holding 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 consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs (consolidated financial position), consolidated profit and loss (consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income), consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its associates, joint ventures and joint operations in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of consolidated Ind AS financial statements. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors / management of the companies included in the Group, and its associate companies and joint venture companies covered under the Act are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets 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. These financial statements have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
1. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors/ management of the entities included in the Group and of its associates, joint ventures and joint operations are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associates, joint ventures and joint operations to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors/management either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
1. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies/entities included in the Group and of its associates, joint ventures and joint operations.

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

1. 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.
1. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the consolidated financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates, joint ventures and joint operations to cease to continue as a going concern;

For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
1. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
1. 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.
1. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.

ANNEXURE II TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Annexure II to the Independent Auditor's Report of even date to the members of Hindustan Construction Company Limited on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021

Independent Auditor's Report on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 Hindustan Construction Company Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group'), its associates, joint ventures and joint operations as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and its joint venture companies, which are companies covered under the Act, as at that date.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and its joint venture companies, which are companies covered under the Act, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and its joint venture companies, as aforesaid, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
1. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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.
1. 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 audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint venture companies, as aforesaid.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 with Reference to Financial Statements

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

reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Qualified Opinion

1. According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at 31 March 2021:
a) The Holding Company did not have an appropriate internal control system with respect to compliance with the provisions of section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013 relating to obtaining prior approval from lenders for payment/accrual of remuneration exceeding the specified limits, as explained in Note 29.1 to the consolidated financial statements, which has resulted in a material misstatement in the value of Holding Company's employee benefit expenses, financial assets and resultant impact on the loss after tax and the reserves and surplus including levy of fine, if any, on account of such non-compliance.
b) The Holding Company's internal financial system with respect to assessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets, as explained in Note 10.1 to the consolidated financial statements, as per the applicable accounting standards, were not operating effectively, which could lead to a material misstatement in the carrying value of deferred tax assets and its resultant impact on loss, reserves and surplus and related disclosures in respect thereof as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021.
c) The Holding Company's internal financial system with respect to the assessment of recoverability of specified assets, as explained in Note 33.2 to the consolidated financial statements, as per the applicable accounting standards, were not operating effectively, which has resulted in material misstatement in the carrying value of the specified assets and its resultant impact on the reserves and surplus and related disclosures in respect thereof as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021.
1. A 'material weakness' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
1. In our opinion and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the subsidiary companies, associate companies, and its joint venture companies; except for the possible effects of the material weakness described in paragraph 8(a) above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Holding Company, subsidiary companies, associate companies and joint venture companies which are companies covered under the Act, in all material respects, has adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described in paragraph 8(b) and 8(c) above on the achievement of

the objectives of the control criteria, such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, 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.

We have considered the material weaknesses 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 company and its joint venture companies, which are companies covered under the Act, as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, its associate companies and its joint venture companies and we have issued a modified opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Other Matter

We did not audit the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in so far as it relates to fifteen (15) subsidiary companies, which are companies covered under the Act, whose financial statements / financial information reflect total assets of 486.58 crore and net liabilities of 634.63 crore as at 31 March 2021, total revenues of 42.86 crore and net cash flow amounting to 2.03 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 ` 16.80 crore for the year ended 31 March 2021, in respect of one (1) associate company and five (5) joint venture companies, which are companies covered under the Act, whose internal financial controls with reference to financial statements have not been audited by us. The internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in so far as it relates to such subsidiary companies, associate companies and joint venture companies have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management and our report on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements for the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint venture companies, as aforesaid, under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act in so far as it relates to such subsidiary companies, associate companies and joint venture companies is based solely on the reports of the auditors of such companies. 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.

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 off 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.

iv. Accounting estimates

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. Estimation uncertainty related to the global health pandemic on COVID-19

The Group has considered certain internal and external sources of information upto date of approval of these financial statements in determining the possible effects of pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the financial statements and in particular on the contract estimates of balance project revenue and balance cost to complete. The Group has used the principal of prudence in applying judgements, estimates and assumptions and based on the current estimates, the Group believes it has taken into account all the possible impact of known events arising out of COVID-19 in the preparation of these financial statements. The eventual outcome of impact of global health pandemic may be different from those presently estimated and the Group will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

b. 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, there are significant assumptions considered by the management. 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.

c. Recoverability of claims

The Group has incurred costs in respect of over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work etc. which have been recognised as variable consideration. These claims 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.

d. Valuation of investment in and loans to joint ventures

The Holding Company has performed valuation for its investments in equity of certain joint ventures for assessing whether there is any impairment in the fair value. When the fair value of investments in joint ventures 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.

e. 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.

f. Defined benefit plans

g. Leases

The Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease required significant judgement. The Group uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate. The Group revises the lease term if there is a change in non-cancellable period of a lease.

h. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets

i. 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. Going concern

The Group has incurred net loss of ` 610.02 crore during the year ended 31 March 2021 and as of that date has

accumulated losses aggregating 4,219.36 crore which has resulted in full erosion of its net worth and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by 370.41 crore. The Holding Company also continues to default on payment to lenders along with overdue to operational creditors. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted business operations of the Group during the period and there continues to exist uncertainty with respect to the pandemic on Group's operations.

Further, in respect of Steiner AG, a material foreign subsidiary group, there are uncertainties consequent to impact of COVID-19 including its impact on budget and liquidity planning as well as uncertainties related to the pending renewal of syndicate revolving guarantee facility agreement which are expiring on 31 August 2021. There are also events or conditions existing in few other group entities, casting significant doubt on the ability of these entities to continue as going concern. The above factors indicate that events or conditions exist, which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

As at 31 March 2021, the Holding Company has received and accounted favorable arbitration awards (including interest thereon) aggregating 2,748.55 crore (net of advance 2,738.80 crore). Further, the Holding Company has also lodged claims aggregating ` 9,776 crore on its customers which are presently at various stages of negotiation/ discussion/ arbitration/ litigation. The Holding Company is in advanced stages of completing a resolution plan with its lenders, including resolution of debt of an erstwhile subsidiary, whose liabilities were taken over by the Holding Company in earlier years at settlement value basis the settlement terms entered between the Holding Company and lenders. Pursuant to the resolution plan, economic and beneficial interest of a portion of the aforesaid arbitration awards and claims of the Holding Company along with liabilities, represented by debt and accrued interest, will be transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. The resolution plan has received an in-principal approval from majority lenders and is subject to final approval by their respective Board/ Committees. The Board of Directors of the Holding Company, have approved the aforementioned resolution plan on 27 May 2021 and will be put up for approval with the shareholders in the ensuing extra-ordinary general body meeting. The Holding Company is confident of concluding the resolution plan under guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India.

Accordingly, based on the expectation of the implementation of the resolution plan with lenders, as well as the underlying strength of the Group's business plans and future growth outlook as assessed, the management is confident of improving the credit profile of the Group, including through time-bound monetisation of assets including arbitration awards, claims and other assets which

would result in it being able to meet its obligations in due course of time. Accordingly, the management considers it appropriate to prepare these financial results on a going concern basis.

vii. Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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 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.

viii. 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.

ix. Capital work-in-progress

x. 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 Act 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.

xi. 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. Computer software represents license fees and implementation cost for software and other application software acquired / developed for in-house use.

xii. Asset classified as held for sale

xiii. Depreciation and amortisation

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.
Intangible assets	3 to 5	Assessed to be in line with Schedule II to the Act.

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 or Other expenses.

xiv. 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 ('FVOCI') 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

- 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

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

c Offsetting financial instruments

xv. Employee benefits

a. Defined contribution plan

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. Re-measurement, 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

d. Short-term benefits

xvi. Inventories

a. Construction materials, stores, spares and fuel

The stock of construction materials, stores, spares 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. Land and development rights

Undeveloped land (including development costs) and finished units which are held for sale are valued at the lower of construction costs and net selling price.

c. Project work in progress

Land and construction / development expenses are accumulated under "Project work-in-progress" and the same are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. 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.

xvii. Cash and cash equivalents

xviii.Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, who assesses the financial performance and position of the Group and makes strategic decisions. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit as the performance indicators and does not review the total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment. The measurement of each segment's revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements. 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'. 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.

xix. 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.

xx. 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 Group uses a monthly average rate if the average rate approximate is the actual rate at the date of the transactions.

b. Conversion

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 long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Translation Account" and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.

xxi. 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.

xxii. Revenue recognition

a. Revenue from construction contracts

from contractee for which no services are rendered are presented as 'Advance from contractee'.

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost of completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Variability in the transaction price arises primarily due to liquidated damages, price variation clauses, changes in scope, incentives, if any. The Company considers its experience with similar transactions and expectations regarding the contract in estimating the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled and determining whether the estimated variable consideration should be constrained. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.The estimates of variable consideration are based largely on an assessment of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.

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 recognized proportionately over the period in which services are rendered.

Revenue from sale of user licenses for software applications is recognized on transfer of the title/product, in accordance with the sales contract. Revenue from product sales are shown as net of all applicable taxes and discounts.

c. Interest on arbitration awards

Interest awarded, being in the nature of additional compensation under the terms of the contract, is accounted as other operating revenue on receipt of favourable arbitration award.

xxiii. Other income

a. Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable 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. Where the receipt of income is uncertain, it is accounted for on receipt basis.

xxiv. Income tax

a. Current tax

Current 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. 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.

b. Deferred 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.

The Group recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

ō :KHQWKH*URXSLVDEOHWRFRQWUROWKHWLPLQJRIWKH reversal of the temporary difference; and
ō ,WLVSUREDEOHWKDWWKHWHPSRUDU\GLIIHUHQFHZLOOQRW reverse in the foreseeable future

xxv. Leases

The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for vehicles, building and shed. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of the consideration.

At the date of the commencement of the lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a corresponding lease liability for all the lease arrangements in which it is a lease, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. The estimated useful life of the assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The future lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. For a lease with reasonably similar characteristics, the Group, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole.

Right-of-use assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and the Lease liability is presented under Other financial liabilities. Further, lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

xxvi. 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.

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.

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 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).

xxviii. 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.

xxix. Commitments

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated

amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for.

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. Treasury shares

Treasury shares represents own equity instruments reacquired by the Holding Company or other members of the Consolidated Group, which are deducted from the equity of the acquiring entity. Treasury shares held is disclosed separately in the financial statements.

xxxii. Share issue expenses

Share issue expenses are charged off against available balance in the Securities premium.

xxxiii. 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.

xxxiv. 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 10.1: On 20 September 2019, vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019, the Government of India inserted Section 115BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961 which provides domestic companies a non-reversible option to pay corporate tax at reduced rates effective 1 April 2019 subject to certain conditions. However, the Holding Company having significant brought forward tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation on which deferred tax asset has been recognised, is still evaluating and has not yet elected to exercise the option permitted under section 115BAA. In view of the above, there is no impact of the new tax rate on the consolidated financial results for the current period.

During the previous year, the Company had written off deferred tax assets aggregating ` 151.30 crore due to expiry of statutory period for setting off underlying losses.

As at 31 March 2021, the Holding Company continues to recognize net deferred tax assets amounting to 715.99 crore (31 March 2020: 437.08 crore) on account of carried forward unused tax losses, unused tax credits and other taxable temporary differences. Based on the expected profits from the unexecuted orders on hand, outcome of the ongoing discussion with lenders for restructuring of loans and expected settlement of arbitration awards, the Holding Company's management is confident that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets will be realized.

Note 10.2: Deferred tax liabilities on undistributed earnings of the Group subsidiaries have not been provided as such earnings are deemed to be reinvested in the business and the Group is able to control the timing of the reversals of temporary differences associated with these investments.

Note 10.3: There are unused tax losses in the Group companies for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised as the Group believes that availability of taxable profit against which such temporary difference can be utilised, is not probable.

During the current year, the Holding Company has been advised by a senior legal counsel that the requisite approval from lenders for payment of remuneration in earlier years through Monitoring Committee of lenders is still valid and persisting and there is no need to obtain fresh approvals from lenders under Section 197 of the Act. Accordingly, based on the legal advice, the Holding Company adjusted the excess remuneration paid to the CMD, held in trust, for the financial year 2013-14 with the unpaid remuneration for the financial year 2014-15 and also the excess managerial remuneration for the financial year 2015-16 stood regularized. Subsequent to 31 March 2021, an external agency appointed by lenders vide its report has confirmed the compliance of the conditions laid out by Monitoring Committee of lenders in earlier years. Pursuant to the confirmation from external agency, accrual/ payment of excess managerial remuneration for the years 2014-15 and 2015-16 stands approved by the lenders and excess remuneration of financial year 2013-14 stands recovered.

Further, on 26 September 2019, the Holding Company in its shareholder's meeting had also obtained approvals vide special resolutions for remuneration of CMD and Whole Time Director for the period 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2022, to be given effect to, only post receipt of the approval of lenders.

contractor of Concessionaire), for an aggregate amount of 1,259 crore. Pursuant to the above settlements, the Holding Company's receivables aggregating 635.27 crore (net of advance) have been settled for 682.55 crore resulting in a surplus of 47.28 crore (net), which has been presented as an exceptional item by the Holding Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. Further, BFHL has also recognised its share of the proceeds from settlement and the resultant surplus of 148.76 crore has been recognized in its financial statements during the current year. Group's share of resultant surplus of 127.11 crore has been included and presented in the consolidated financial statements under Share of profit of associates and joint ventures. However, in view of certain existing uncertainties and condition precedents, HCL's share of proceeds from FRHL's settlement is presently unascertainable and accordingly receivables have not been recognised in HCL's financial statements and Group's consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021.

Further, during the year, the Holding Company also entered into similar settlement agreement with a customer to conciliate long pending dispute in respect of arbitration awards published in the Holding Company's favour, for two completed projects, which were being contested by the customer in higher courts. Pursuant to above settlement, the Holding Company settled receivables aggregating 578.12 crore for a consideration of 256.81 crore as full and final settlement with an understanding that all pending disputes stand resolved. Accordingly, the Holding Company recognised the resultant loss aggregating ` 321.31 crore as an exceptional item in these consolidated financial statements.

Though the Group had a fair chance to recover entire money over the period, however, considering the time involved in the litigation and urgent need to realize monies urgently to tie up its cashflow deficit for its operations, the Group opted for these conciliations, as per the scheme provided u/s 73 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 2015 by Ministry of Road Transport Highways."

Note 33.2 During the year ended 31 March 2019, the Holding Company had recognized a provision of 331.40 crore pursuant to the signing of a non-binding term sheet with a consortium of investors along with a letter of commitment, for an assignment of the beneficial interest in portfolio of identified arbitration awards and claims ('specified assets') for an aggregate consideration of 1,750 crore. The said provision continued thereafter in view of mutual extension of the said transaction till 31 December 2019. In the absence of any further extension, the Holding Company decided to cancel this proposed transaction, which had been reported to and confirmed by statutory auditors. Pursuant to the cancellation of the aforesaid transaction, the provision of ` 331.40 crore, related to specified assets, recognized earlier has been written back during the year ended 31 March 2020. Statutory auditors report is modified in respect of reversal of aforesaid provision.

Based on the judgement by the Honorable Supreme Court dated 28 February 2019, past provident fund liability, is not determinable at present, in view of uncertainty on the applicability of the judgement to the Group with respect to timing and the components of its compensation structure. In absence of further clarification, the Group has been advised to await further developments in this matter to reasonably assess the implications on its financial statements, if any.

It is not practicable for the Group to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings. Future cash outflows in respect of the above are determinable only on receipt of judgments/ decisions pending with various forums/ authorities. The Group does not expect any outflow of economic resources in respect of the above and therefore no provision is made in respect thereof.

Note 36 : The Group, as at 31 March 2021, has non-current investments amounting to ` 385.86 crore in its joint venture, HCC Concessions Limited ('HCL'), having Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) SPVs under its fold. HICL has incurred losses and the consolidated net-worth as at 31 March 2021 has partially eroded. However, the net-worth of HCL 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, pursuant to the share purchase agreement for sale of a BOT SPV by HCL during the year, HCL continues to remain entitled to its share of proceeds from settlement with NHAI, earn-out consideration and royalty representing revenue share from the BOT SPV over concessions period, which are estimated to be significantly material. Also, one of its entity has claims against its customer mainly in respect of cost-overrun arising due to client caused delays and termination of contracts which are under arbitration/ litigation wherein management has been legally advised that it has good case on merits. Therefore, based on certain estimates of future business plans, growth prospects, future consideration from the entity sold as well as considering the contractual tenability and expected outcome of arbitration/ litigations, 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 fully recoverable.

Note 37 : As at 31 March 2021, HREL Real Estate Limited ('HREL'), a subsidiary company, has provided corporate guarantees and put options aggregating ` 5,764.70 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 and Resolution Process ('CIRP') in accordance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) dated 30 August 2018 and 20 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 have also invoked the corporate guarantee/ put options issued by the HREL. The National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench vide its order dated 26 February 2020, have approved the request of lenders of LCL and WAML to consolidate LCL, WAML and Dasve Convention Centre Limited (a subsidiary of LCL) and thereby get better valuation on liquidation. RP is in the process of formulating a resolution plan including identifying potential resolution applicant. The liability of 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 results, as impact, if any, is currently unascertainable.

Note 38 : 'Unbilled work-in-progress (Other current assets) and current trade receivables include 833.67 crore and 295.33 crore, respectively, outstanding as at 31 March 2021 representing receivables from customers of the Holding Company, based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts and other receivables in respect of closed/ suspended projects. Further, current trade receivables as at 31 March 2021 also include 2,748.55 crore (net of advances of 2,738.80 crore), representing claims awarded in arbitration, including interest thereon, in favour of the Holding Company which have been challenged by the customers in higher courts. These aforementioned receivables 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 Holding 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 in certain contentious matters, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables.

Note 39 : Non-current borrowings and other current financial liabilities (including current maturities of long-term borrowings) of RDHL, as at 31 March 2021 includes 44.54 crore and 60.39 crore, respectively in respect of which, in the absence of confirmation from the lenders/ bankers, RDHL has provided for interest and other penal charges based on the latest communication available from the lenders/ bankers at the interest rate specified in the agreements. RHDL's management believes that amount payable on settlement will not exceed the liability provided in books in respect of these borrowings. Further, the classification of these borrowings into current and non-current as at 31 March 2021 is based on the original maturity terms as stated in the agreements with the lenders/ bankers.

Note 40 : On 22 September 2020, HCC Concessions Limited ('HCL'), a joint venture of the Holding Company, completed the 100% stake sale of its subsidiary i.e. Farakka Raiganj Highways Limited ('FRHL') to Cube Highways II Pte. Ltd. ('Cube'). Pursuant to the above sale, HCL received 104.35 crore towards consideration for sale of equity shares and accordingly a resultant loss on sale of FRHL aggregating 259.31 crore was recognised earlier during the year. Pursuant to settlement with NHAI, the condition precedents for release of holdback considerations stand fulfilled and accordingly HCL has recognised the hold back receivable aggregating ` 217.06 crore as at 31 March 2021, which has resulted in reduction of the loss on sale of FRHL recognised during the earlier quarter. Additionally, as part of the agreement with Cube, HCL continues to remain entitled to its share of proceeds from settlement with NHAI, earn-outs (contingent on traffic/ revenue projections) and royalty representing revenue share from FRHL over the concessions period, which is expected to be substantial considering the overall sale consideration agreed with Cube.

Note 41 : Delay in acquisition of land of more than seven years in Raiganj Dalkhola Highways Limited ('RDHL'), a joint venture, resulted in a substantial increase of project cost. The inability of the lenders consortium to fund the cost overrun in the absence of extended benefits in the event of termination from NHAI has led to the issuance of termination notice by NHAI vide letter dated 30 March 2017. RDHL has filed claim for 367 crore as a termination payment and for 852 crore as losses on account of contractors dues before arbitration tribunal as the requisite land to carry out the desired work was not made available by NHAI. Based on the legal advice obtained in this respect, the management is confident of recovering the receivable from NHAl amounting to ` 177.42 crore as at 31 March 2021.

Note 42 : 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.

NOTE 44 LEASES - IND AS 116

A. Impact on transition to Ind AS 116

Effective 1 April 2019, the Group has adopted Ind AS 116, Leases, which, applied to all lease contracts outstanding as at 1 April 2019, using modified retrospective at the date of initial application, at an amount equal to lease lability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application and as a result of which the comparative information is not required to be restated.

The Group has made use of the following practical expedients available in its transition to Ind AS 116.

(a) The Group will not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of lease in accordance with Ind AS 17 will continue to be applied to lease contracts entered by the Group or modified by the Group before 1 April 2019.
(b) The Group has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment. Consequently, the Group has recorded its lease liability using the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application and the right-of- use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease but discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
(c) The Group excluded the initial direct costs from measurement of the Right-of-use (RoU) asset at the date of initial application.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019 is in the range of 1.3% to 12.50%.

Right-of-use assets:

(i) On transition, the Group had recognized right-of-use assets aggregating ` 305.12 crore.
(ii) The net carrying value of right-of-use assets as at 31 March 2021 amounts to 243.68 crore ( 31 March 2020 amounts to 278.40 crore) have been disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.

Lease liabilities:

(i) On transition, the Group has recognised lease liabilities amounting to ` 305.12 crore.
(iii) As at 31 March 2021, the obligations under finance leases amounts to 243.68 crore (31 March 2020 : 278.40 crore), which have been classified to lease liabilities on the face of balance sheet.
(iv) The following is the movement in lease liabilities:

		` crore

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.

a Interest rate risk

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

		` crore
Particulars	Year ended	Year ended
	31 March 2021	31 March 2020
Increase in basis points	100 basis points
Effect on loss before tax, increase by	17.57	13.85
Decrease in basis points	100 basis points
Effect on loss before tax, decrease by	(17.57)	(13.85)

NOTE 47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...Contd.

b Foreign currency risk

The Group has 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.

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 2021, the exposure to listed equity securities including mutual fund at fair value was 6.40 crore (31 March 2020: 4.82 crore). A movement (decrease / increase) of 10% in the value of listed securities could have an impact of approximately ` 0.64 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.

NOTE 47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES...Contd.

iii Liquidity risk

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 (excluding interest accrued) divided by total capital plus total debt.

		` crore
	As at	As at
	31 March 2021	31 March 2020
Total debt	4,533.15	3,974.22
Total equity plus total debt	3,215.56	3,215.04
Total debt to equity ratio (Gearing ratio)	1.41	1.24

Notes:

(i) excludes 1,001.95 crore (31 March 2020: 889.85 crore) representing financial liabilities (including interest) of an erstwhile subsidiary taken over by the Company.

(ii) excludes interest accrued aggregating 1,408.95 crore (31 March 2020: 891.14 crore) on total debt of the Company.

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.

Note 7 to the accompanying Statement, the Holding Company has accounted for managerial remuneration paid/ payable to Whole Time Directors (including Chairman and Managing Director) of the Holding Company aggregating `27.07 crore for the financial years ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020, in excess of the limits prescribed under Section 197 of the Act, in respect of which approvals from the shareholders have been obtained, however prior approval from the lenders of the Holding Company in accordance with Section
			(ii) deferred tax assets (net) amounting to `715.99 crore outstanding as at and therefore, are unable to comment on any adjustments that may be required to the carrying value of aforesaid deferred tax assets as at 31 March 2021.	Note 6 to the accompanying Statement, the Holding Company has recognised 31 March 2021, on account of carried forward unused tax losses, unused tax credits and other taxable temporary differences, which are continued to be recognised on the basis of expected availability of future taxable profits for utilization of such deferred tax assets. However, in view of the continued losses incurred by the Holding Company and the impact of COVID-19 on business operations, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence with respect to the current projections prepared by the management
			(iii) Note 9 to the accompanying Statement, the Group's current borrowings amounting to `2.10 crore and`500.72 crore, respectively, in respect of which direct confirmations from the respective banks/ lenders have not	and other current financial liabilities as at 31 March 2021 include balances been provided to us by the management of the Group. Further, in respect of certain loans while the principal balances have been confirmed from the direct confirmations issued by banks/ lenders, the interest accrued amounting to `115.37 crore has not been confirmed by the banks/ lenders. Further, direct confirmation from banks have not been received for balances with banks included under cash and cash equivalents and earmarked balances/ deposits

			with banks included under bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents as at 31 March 2021 amounting to `2.10 crore and 10.91 crore, respectively. In the absence of such direct confirmations from the banks / lenders or sufficient and appropriate alternate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the adjustments and changes in classification of balances in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 1, Presentation of financial statements, if any, that may be required to the carrying value of the aforementioned balances in the accompanying Statement.

However, such write-back is inconsistent with the continued intent of the Holding Company to sell/ assign the arbitration awards and claims of the Holding Company to other potential investors as evidenced in the proposed resolution plan with lenders. Pending the finalization of the proposed resolution plan with lenders, we are unable to comment on the extent of loss provision required to be provided for in the consolidated financial results as at 31 March 2021.

II a) (ii) On 20 September 2019, vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019, the Government of India inserted Section 115BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961 which provides domestic companies a non-reversible option to pay corporate tax at reduced rates effective 1 April 2019 subject to certain conditions. However, the Holding Company having significant amount of brought forward tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation on which deferred tax asset has been recognised, is still evaluating and has not yet elected to exercise the option permitted under section 115BAA. In view of the above, there is no impact of the new tax rate on the consolidated financial results.

As at 31 March 2021, the Holding Company continues to recognize net deferred tax assets amounting to 715.99 crore (31 December 2020:670.14 crore and 31 March 2020: `437.08 crore) on account of carried forward unused tax losses, unused tax credits and other taxable temporary differences. Based on the expected profits from the unexecuted orders on hand, outcome of the ongoing discussion with lenders for restructuring of loans and expected settlement of arbitration awards, the Holding Company management is confident that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets will be realized.

II a) (iii) II a) (iii) Non-current borrowings, current borrowings, other non-current financial liabilities and other current financial liabilities as at 31 March 2021 include balances amounting to Nil (31 December 2020: 273.56 crore and 31 March 2020:165.55 crore), 2.10 crore (31 December 2020:9.57 crore and 31 March 2020: Nil), Nil (31 December 2020: Nil and 31 March 2020: 591.04 crore) and500.72 crore (31 December 2020: 399.68 crore and 31 March 2020:336.82 crore) respectively, in respect of which confirmations/ statements from the respective banks/ lenders have not been received. Further, in respect of non-current borrowings and current borrowings aggregating 871.75 crore (31 December 2020:1,396.01 crore and 31 March 2020: 864.23 crore), while the lenders have confirmed the principal outstanding, the accrued interest aggregating115.37 crore (31 December 2020: 87.50 crore and 31 March 2020:42.76 crore) have not been confirmed. In the absence of confirmations/ statements from the lenders, the Group has provided for interest and other penal charges on these borrowings based on the latest communication available from the respective lenders at the interest rate specified in the agreement. The Group's management believes that amount payable on settlement will not exceed the liability provided in books in respect of these borrowings. Further, for balances with banks (included under cash and cash equivalents), earmarked balances/ deposits with banks (included under bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents) and guarantees issued by banks on behalf of

the Group as at 31 March 2021 includes balances amounting to 2.10 crore (31 December 2020: Nil and 31 March 2020: Nil),10.91 crore
(31 December 2020: 20.97 crore and 31 March 2020:5.46 crore)
and Nil (31 December 2020: Nil and 31 March 2020: `76.93 crore),
respectively, in respect of which confirmation/ statements from
banks have not been received inspite of incessant efforts by Group's
management.

II a) (iv) II a) (iv) During the year ended 31 March 2019, the Holding Company
had recognized a provision of 331.40 crore pursuant to the signing of a non-binding term sheet with a consortium of investors along with a letter of commitment, for an assignment of the beneficial interest in portfolio of identified arbitration awards and claims ('specified assets') for an aggregate consideration of1,750 crore. The said provision continued
thereafter in view of mutual extension of the said transaction till 31
December 2019. In the absence of any further extension, the Holding
