CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

I am delighted that this is my 3rd address to the shareholders as Chairman of the Board of NCC.

At NCC, success is an outcome of our untiring commitment to our vision, mission, values and the management's strict adherence to corporate governance norms in its spirt. Today NCC is the second largest among the listed construction companies in India. Our management approach with respect to bidding, managing and execution of projects are considered as benchmarks by many industry analysts.

During the year we set new records in most of the key performance indicators. For the 12 months period (FY 19) our turnover is 12198 Cr with an EBIDTA of 1423 Cr as against turnover of 7675 Cr with an EBIDTA of 855 Cr during the previous year. We achieved a PAT of 564 Cr as against 287 Cr during the previous year. EPS is 9.39 during the year as against 5.09 in FY18.

During the year, we continued our focus on improving our operational and financial performance, risk mitigation and also rationalisation of our subsidiary businesses.

Our Operating Scenario

Over the years the country has transformed with respect to its approach to private sector. From mere construction contractors, private sector construction companies like NCC have become the key enablers in India's infrastructure development. Let me quote from the Finance Ministry's Economic Survey 2019. "The real challenge lies in bringing adequate private investment across the country with the collaboration of public sector. Along with physical infrastructure, provision of social infrastructure is equally important as these two would determine where India will be placed in the world by 2030," says the survey prepared by the chief economic adviser (CEA).

While The Economic Survey acknowledges the importance of public-private partnerships in addressing financing gaps in the infrastructure sector, it also acknowledges the need for institutional mechanisms to resolve pending disputes in a time-bound manner as one of the key areas to focus on.

Other measures such as deepening of the existing corporate bond market through suitable policies and incentives, leveraging institutions like NIIF (National Investment and Infrastructure Fund) to promote sector-specific financing platforms which aggregate projects at different levels of maturity/risks, and expanding credit guarantee facilities through partnerships with multilateral agencies would also be required to strength the financial status of the sector.

The NDA government which came to power in 2014 unswervingly focused on infrastructure for improving connectivity by allocating massive expenditure for building roads, smart cities, launching schemes such as Saubhagya aiming at 100% electrification of households, housing for all, and building airports in smaller towns and cities. The government also aimed at electrifying 100% of its broad gauge network, to reduce dependence on imported diesel. Indian Railways has already identified 38,000 route kilometre (RKM) for electrification by 2021 from 35,488 RKM in April 2019.

The Budget for 2019-20 points out to investments averaging ` 20 lakh crores every year for infrastructure development. The Hon'ble Finance Minister has also proposed setting up a Credit Guarantee Enhancement Corporation for which regulations have

been notified by the Reserve Bank of India, among other measures to enhance the sources of capital for infrastructure financing.

Key Challenges

Despite the proactive policy push, construction & infrastructure sector in India is grappling with innumerable challenges pertaining to financing large projects, land acquisition and environment clearances, and high costs incurred because of delays in project implementation. The FY19 Economic survey also points out to less-than-expected traffic growth in certain projects and the resulting risk factors.

At NCC, the management is keenly watching all the opportunities and challenges for evaluating and exploring opportunities and containing risks.

Dividend

We have a consistent track record of paying dividends. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on May 24, 2019, have recommended payment of Equity Dividend of 1.50 per share (@ 75% on Equity share of 2/- each), subject to shareholders' approval at the forthcoming AGM.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Shared responsibility and generosity for the society have long been part of our tradition. During the year, we had spent an amount of 6.14 Cr towards CSR activities and our initiatives positively impacted rural sanitation, healthcare and education. As salutations to our brave soldiers- war veterans and their families, we contributed 1 Cr to Army Welfare Fund.

I take this opportunity to thank our employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, banks, Central and State Government agencies for their continued support.

Yours truly Hemant M Nerurkar Chairman

PERFORMANCE REVIEW BY MANAGING DIRECTOR

On FY19 Performance

FY19 has been a momentous year for NCC with respect to our performance. We achieved record revenue of ` 121.98 bn on standalone basis with year on year growth of 58.93%. On standalone basis our EBITDA margin in FY19 is 11.8% as against 11.3% in FY18. Profit After Tax 4.6% as against 3.7% in FY18.

Over the years we have set NCC as a benchmark among construction companies with our unique business model and operational approach. From an emerging favourable industry dynamics, we benefited better than most of our peers due to our unique strategic initiatives over the years. During the tough years in the past we focused on making NCC's internal environment more resilient. Performance in FY19 is an outcome of our asset light business model, strong execution track record coupled with our financial discipline.

I thank our team, customers, financial institutions and suppliers - without the much needed support from these important stakeholders, FY19 performance would not have been possible.

Financial Highlights

Debt collection days have improved substantially from 102 days in FY18 to 84 days in FY19. Our working capital days have come down to 102 days from 133 days in FY19. Excluding cash and bank balances, the working capital days are 96 days as compared to 129 days in FY18.

The finance cost for the year is 4.51 bn which is 3.7% of the turnover as against 4.9% of the turnover in FY18 i.e a reduction of 1.2%. Investments in the subsidiaries and group companies have come down from 10.24 bn to 9.19 bn in FY19. Total exposure to the group companies have come down from ` 16.29 bn to 13.87 bn in FY19. The year also witnessed asset rationalization by our subsidiaries and improving the receivables from them to the parent company.

Strategic Environment

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of the government aims to develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and trans-border infrastructure to support economic development and human well-being.

The economic survey 2018-19 tabled in the parliament prior to the union budget for FY19-20, highlighted the need to almost double the annual spending on infrastructure at \$200 billion. The survey mentioned that the real challenge lies in harnessing private investment. To achieve the target of \$10 trillion economy size by 2032, a robust and resilient infrastructure system is required, supported by adequate private investments.

In line with the findings of the survey and continuing the policy push for developing the infrastructure sector, the government plans to invest ` 100 trillion for the sector to spend over the next five years. It is also heartening to note that the government proposed to set up a Credit Guarantee Enhancement Corporation for which regulations have been notified by the Reserve Bank of India. This proposed initiative is to enhance the sources of capital for infrastructure financing.

Going forward, we are confident that the performance of the company will be robust for next five years. We expect a healthy flow of fresh orders to strengthen our order book. Our passion is to perform – to perform prudently and sustain our growth in the years to come.

Warm regards

A A V Ranga Raju Managing Director During the tough years in the past we focused on making NCC's internal environment more resilient. Performance in FY19 is an outcome of our asset light business model, strong execution track record coupled with our financial discipline.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

"We need to stop thinking about infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start thinking about it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce Bridges to Nowhere. Strategic investment in infrastructure produces a foundation for long-term growth". - Roger McNamee

(Founding partner of the venture capital firm Elevation Partners & co-founded private equity firm Silver Lake Partners)

Global Economy

The global economy will continue to grow at a steady pace of around 3 percent in calendar years 2019 and 2020, after an expansion of 3.1 per cent in 2018 amid signs that global growth has peaked. However, a worrisome combination of development challenges could further undermine growth, according to the United Nations World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) 2019.

Further clouding the prospects are a confluence of risks with the potential to severely disrupt economic activity and inflict significant damage on longer-term development prospects. These risks include waning support for multilateral approaches; the escalation of trade policy disputes; financial instabilities linked to elevated levels of debt; and rising climate risks, as the world experiences an increasing number of extreme weather events.

As global financial conditions tighten, an unexpectedly rapid rise in interest rates or a significant strengthening of the US dollar could exacerbate emerging market fragilities, leading to heightened risk of debt distress. This risk can be further aggravated by global trade tensions, monetary policy adjustment in developed economies, commodity price shocks, or domestic political or economic disruptions. Many low-income countries have already experienced a substantial rise in interest burdens. Countries with a substantial amount of dollar-denominated debt, high current account or fiscal deficits, large external financing needs and limited policy buffers are particularly vulnerable to financial stress.

Heightened trade tensions between the United States and China have raised the risk of a recession next year if the dispute between the world's two largest economies is prolonged and escalates further. There will be a setback to growth stories of many developing countries and economic growth may slow down.

Indian Economy 2019

India is moving towards realizing a New India by 2022, when we celebrate 75 years of India's independence. Promoting inclusive employment-intensive industry and building resilient infrastructure are vital factors for economic growth and development.

India to Remain Fastest-growing Economy in 2019 & 2020, Says UN Report; Pegs GDP Growth at 7.1 percent in 2019-20

The country is expected to witness strong economic growth in FY 20, after it has emerged as the fastest growing major world economy last year despite growing global vulnerabilities "Better demand conditions, settled GST implementation, capacity expansion from growing investments in infrastructure, continuing positive effects of reform policies and improved credit off take especially in the services sector at 24 per cent will sustain the robust GDP growth in the range of 7.5 per cent in calendar year 2019." The Indian industry body observed that despite 2018 being filled with external vulnerabilities arising out of rising oil prices, trade wars between major global trading partners and US monetary tightening, India outshined as the world's fastest growing major economy.

It added that although capital spending has shown signs of revival, a more widespread and sustained recovery in private investment remains a crucial challenge in India.

Indian Infrastructure sector:

Infrastructure sector is a key driver for the Indian economy. Infrastructure sector is a major sector contributing to India's overall development. This sector enjoys immense focus from Government to create a world class infrastructure in India. India's rank jumped to 24 in 2018 from 137 in 2014 on World Bank's Ease of doing business.

Need for infrastructure development

  • (1) Housing shortage in rural and urban India;
  • (2) Inadequacy of existing urban infrastructure to meet the current demand of urban population.

India has a requirement of investment worth ` 50 trillion (US\$ 777.73 billion) in infrastructure by 2022 to have sustainable development in the country. India is witnessing significant interest from international investors in the infrastructure space. Some key investments in the sector are listed below.

In 2018, infrastructure sector in India witnessed private equity and venture capital investments worth US\$ 1.97 billion.

Government Initiatives

The Government of India is expected to invest highly in the infrastructure sector, mainly highways, renewable energy and urban transport. The Government of India is taking every possible initiative to boost the infrastructure sector. We are poised to become a Five Trillion Dollar Economy in the next five years and aspire to become a Ten Trillion Dollar Economy in the next 8 years thereafter.

The First Dimension of this Vision will be to build physical as well as

social infrastructure for a ten Trillion Dollar economy and to provide ease of living. It will comprise next generation infrastructure of roads, railways, seaports, airports, urban transport, gas and electric transmission and inland waterways. On the social infrastructure side, every family will have a roof on its head and will live in a healthy, clean and wholesome environment.

Announcements in Union Budget 2019-20:

The Government of India has given a massive push to the infrastructure sector by allocating ` 4.56 lakh Cr (US\$ 63.20 billion) for the sector.

Communication sector allocated ` 38,637.46 Cr (US\$ 5.36 billion) to development of post and telecommunications departments.

The Indian Railways received allocation under Union Budget 2019- 20 at 66.77 billion (US\$ 9.25 billion). Out of this allocation, 64.587 billion (US\$ 8.95 billion) is capital expenditure.

` 83,015.97 Cr (US\$11.51 billion) allocated towards road transport and highway.

` 3,899.9 Cr (US\$ 540.53 billion) to increase capacity of Green Energy Corridor Project along with wind and solar power projects.

Allocation of ` 8,350.00 Cr (US\$ 1.16 billion) to boost telecom infrastructure.

Water supply to be provided to all households in 500 cities.

Allocation of 888.00 Cr (US\$ 110.88 million) for the upgradation of state government medical colleges (PG seats) at the district hospitals and 1,361.00 Cr (US\$ 188.63 million) for government medical colleges (UG seats) and government health institutions.

Government plans to invest ` 100 lakh crore in Infrastructure in next five years.

Achievements in the past four years:

The total national highways length increased to 122,434 kms in FY18 from 92,851 kms in FY14.

Energy deficit reduced to 0.7 per cent in FY18 from 4.2 per cent in FY14.

Number of airports has increased to 102 in 2018.

India's national highway network is expected to cover 50,000 kilometers by 2019. National highway construction in India has increased by 20 per cent year-on-year in 2017-18.

India and Japan have joined hands for infrastructure development in India's north-eastern states and are also setting up an India-Japan Coordination Forum for Development of North East to undertake strategic infrastructure projects in the northeast.

First 100 smart cities in India will require an annual investment of ` 35,000 Cr over the next 20 years, both private investments and public private partnerships (PPP) are essential.

RISKS AND CONCERNS

The Company has an integrated and structured Enterprise Risk Management process to manage risks with ultimate objective of maximizing stakeholders' value. The risk management process at NCC broadly consists of identification, assessment, mitigation, prioritization and monitoring of risks.

This process allows the Company to enhance confidence in achieving its desired goals and objectives, effectively restrain risks to acceptable levels and to take informed decisions about exploiting opportunities.

There is a multi-tier Risk Management Structure in place in NCC:

  • • Enterprise Risk Management Committee of the Board: At the top of the Risk Management structure is the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, a subcommittee of the Board to oversee the entire Risk management process.
  • • Central Risk Management Committee: This Committee is periodically appraised of the key risks affecting the Company and the mitigation measures initiated / in place.
  • • Chief Risk Officer at the Corporate level: To oversee and coordinate with the Process Owners, Risk Committees and Audit Committee.
  • • Division Risk Management Committees: Division Risk Committees consist of Division Risk Counsel Officer, Risk Champions and Mitigation Plan Owners. The detailed risks affecting the particular Division / business segment is discussed in detail in the periodical Division Review Meetings. Mitigation strategies are formulated and are implemented as deemed within the overall Enterprise Risk Management framework of the Company and as per the Risk Management Policy.
  • • Project In-charges at the Project level

Owing to the nature of the industry the Company operates in, it is exposed to a variety of risk factors which are broadly categorized into political, competition, operational and financial risks. Risk management process is carried out during all stages of the projects right from pre-bid stage to project execution and till the project completion.

The key learnings from the Projects are analyzed and the takeaways are implemented in future projects. Continuous knowledge sharing workshops are conducted across the Company to reinforce the principles of risk management, its requirement and benefits.

During the year, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee of the Board has reviewed the business process and the associated risks. Some of these key risks that the Company faces along with their mitigation strategies adopted are listed below:

Political Risks: The Company has operations in multiple locations in multiple states and is consequently subject to various geo-political risks. Appropriate mitigation strategies are in place to address the same. To mitigate the political risks, the Company is taking up projects across various states in India and not concentrating in few States.

Competition Risks: There has been an increase in the number of operators in the niche segment that the Company functions in. However, the Company's competitive advantage is derived from experienced workforce, strong track record, technical expertise, brand equity and regular engagement with Clients and representatives.

Operational Risks: To suit the project requirements, due care is exercised in the selection of sub-contractors, vendors, key technical and non-technical employees, insurance coverages, financial tie-ups, timely obtaining of Right of Way, designs and drawings etc. Identification of associated risks and initiation of mitigation measures are helping the Company to address the operational risks.

Risks associated with Joint Ventures: The Company associates with other leading Construction companies (Joint Venture / Special Purpose Vehicles) across business segments based on the project requirements. These partners are selected after carrying out thorough and in-depth due diligence process.

Market Risks: Securing orders is always a big challenge for Construction Companies and the same depends upon availability of orders in various States and various Departments. In order to mitigate the market risks and to ensure continuous order booking, the Company is operating multi-divisions such as Buildings & Housing, Roads, Water, Railways, Electrical, Irrigation, Mining, Metal, etc. The Company strategically participates in bids using its multi-divisional experiences.

Working Capital Risks: Project delays, cost overruns and consequent delays in payment receipt from the Clients lead to an increase in working capital requirement. There is a process of close monitoring & follow-up with the Clients for the timely approvals and payments for better working capital management.

Contract & Claims: In the competitive environment, to address the foreseeable litigations & claims, the Company maintains a robust documentation and follow up mechanism with Clients, subcontractors and vendors to address the related claims, disputes etc. To mitigate the possible risks due to the differences & disputes with the Clients, sub-contractors and vendors, the Company has an exclusive Contracts & Claims Department.

Cyber security Risks: With increasing use of IT in business areas and as systems get interconnected, cyber security becomes an important challenge for the organization in order to protect its information and systems so as to maintain confidentiality, data integrity and to prevent loss of data. The Company has implemented a cyber security framework to identify, detect and prevent such risks. The Company has been focusing on systematic communication of possible cyber risks and the remedial measures to be followed through awareness programs for all the employees concerned.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

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

investment in the above subsidiary has been identified as a key
audit matter due to the significance of the carrying value of the
investment and that it requires the management to make significant
estimate of future cash flows from the claims filed by NCCIHL but
not accounted for, by taking into consideration the management's
internal assessment and legal advice on the tenability of the claims.

We traced the net worth of NCCIHL to the audited financial

2019, audited by another firm of chartered accountants.

accompanying standalone Ind AS 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 Annual report, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

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

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

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

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

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

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other matter

We did not audit the financial statements and other financial information of 5 branches and 10 joint operations included in the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company whose financial statements and other financial information reflect total assets of 117.34 crores as at March 31, 2019 and the total revenues of 160.41 crores for the year ended on that date. These financial statements and other financial information of these branches and joint operations have been audited by the branch auditors and other auditors respectively, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these branches and joint operations and our report in terms of subsection (3) of Section 143 of the Act in so far as it relates to the aforesaid branches and joint operations, is based solely on the report of such branch auditors and other auditors respectively.

Of these 2 branches are located outside India whose financial statements and other financial information have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been audited by branch auditors under generally accepted auditing standards applicable in their respective countries. The Company's management has converted the financial statement of such branches located outside India from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Company's management. Our opinion in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of such branches located outside India is based on the report of branch auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Company and audited by us.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below is not modified in respect of these matters.

ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NCC LIMTED

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

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of NCC Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

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

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

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

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS 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 over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Hyderabad, May 24, 2019

1 General Information:

NCC Limited, ("NCCL", / "the Company") was established as a Partnership firm in 1978, which was subsequently converted into a Limited Company in 1990. The shares of the Company were listed on the stock exchanges in India during 1992 pursuant to the Initial Public Offer of equity shares. The registered office of the Company is located at NCC House, Madhapur, Hyderabad - 500 081, Telangana, India. The Company is engaged in the infrastructure sector, primarily in the construction of industrial and commercial buildings, housing, roads, bridges and flyovers, water supply and environment projects, railways, mining, power transmission lines, irrigation and hydrothermal power projects, real estate development, etc.

2 Significant accounting policies:

2.1 Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time).

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time). Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as a net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2.3 Interest in Joint Operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement where by the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement , which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

When a company undertakes its activities under joint operations, the company as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

    1. its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly,
    1. its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly,
  • 3 its revenue from the sale of its share arising from the joint operation,
    1. its share of the revenue from the joint operations, and
    1. its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the Ind AS applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

2.4 Revenue Recognition

a) Accounting policy as per new revenue standard

The Company applied Ind AS 115 for the first time with effect from April 01, 2018. The changes in accounting policy on account of adoption of this new accounting standard are described in note 2.33.

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

A single performance obligation is identified in the construction projects that the Company engages in, owing to the high degree of integration and customisation of the various goods and services to provide a combined output which is transferred to the customer over time and not at a specific point in time, since the entity's performance creates or enhances as asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

With respect to the method for recognising revenue over time (i.e. the method for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation), the Company has established certain criteria that are applied consistently for similar performance obligations. In this regard, the method chosen by the Company to measure the value of goods or services for which control is transferred to the customer over time is the output method based on surveys of performance completed to date (or measured unit of work), according to which revenue is recognised corresponding to the units of work performed and on the basis of the price allocated thereto. In cases where the work performed till the reporting date has not reached the milestone specified in the contract, the Company recognises revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that the customer will acknowledge the same. This method is applied as the progress of the work performed can be measured during its performance on the basis of the contract. Under this method, on a regular basis, the work completed under each contract is measured and the corresponding output is recognised as revenue.

Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the scope or price or both. Goods/services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis. Goods / services those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively as a separate contract, if the additional goods/services are priced at the standalone selling price else as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract . In cases where the additional work has been approved but the corresponding change in price has not been determined, the recognition of revenue is made for an amount with respect to which it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, this amount is recognised only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount recognised will not occur.

Contract costs

Costs related to work performed in projects are recognised on an accrual basis. Costs incurred in connection with the work performed are recognised as an expense.

Provision for future losses

Provision for future losses are recognised as soon as it becomes evident that the total costs expected to be incurred in a contract exceed the total expected revenue from that contract.

Contract balances

i) Contract assets

A contract asset is recognised for amount of work done but pending billing/acknowledgement by customer or amounts billed but payment is due on completion of future performance obligation, since it is conditionally receivable. The provision for Expected Credit Loss on contract assets is made on the same basis as financial assets as stated in note no. 2.19.

ii) Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

iii) Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received advance payments from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the consideration received.

b) Accounting policy till previous years

i) Project Division: Revenue from construction contracts is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is determined by survey of work performed and / or on completion of a physical proportion of the contract work, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the contractee. Future expected loss, if any, is recognised as and when assessed.

ii) Property Development: Revenue is recognised when the Company enters into an agreement for sale with the buyer and all significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer and there is no uncertainty regarding realisability of the sale consideration.

iii) Work in Progress: Work in Progress is valued at the contracted rates less profit margin / estimates.

2.5 Other income:

  • a) Dividend Income: Dividend income from Investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established.
  • b) Interest income: Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
  • c) Rental income: Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised over the term of the relevant lease.

2.6 Foreign exchange translation and foreign currency transactions:

The functional currency of the Company is the Indian rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crores).

Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions. Gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions remaining unsettled at the end of the year are translated at year end rates. The difference in translation of monetary assets and liabilities and realised gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The exchange difference on restatement of long term receivables / payables from / to foreign operations that are considered as net investments in such operation are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate .

Foreign branches functional currency is other than reporting currency of its parent and foreign branch financial statements are translated into reporting currency of its parent using the following procedures.

Assets and Liabilities (both monetary and non-monetary) are translated at the closing rate at the year end. Income and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate at the end of the respective month. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income till the disposal of the net investment.

2.7 Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs include interest and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the date of capitalisation of such asset are included in the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

2.8 Employee Benefits:

2.8.1Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Superannuation

The Company's contribution to superannuation fund is considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.

Provident Fund

Contribution to Provident fund (a defined contribution plan) made to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner are recognised as expense.

Defined Benefit Plans

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling ( if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest) , is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

2.8.2Compensated Absences

The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment, as per the policy of the Company.

The liability towards such unutilized leave as at the end of each balance sheet date is determined based on independent actuarial valuation and recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In respect of employees of overseas branch, end of service benefit is accrued in accordance with the terms of employment. Employees entitlements to annual leave and gratuity are recognized on actual basis and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.9 Taxation

Income tax expense represents sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax

2.9.1Current Tax: Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Incometax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

2.9.2Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

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

2.9.3Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred taxes are recognised in profit or 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.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

2.10 Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of Property, plant and equipment comprises of purchase price, applicable duties and taxes, any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets, upto the date the asset is ready for its intended use. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located is required to be included in the cost of the respective item of property plant and equipment and Cost of major inspections is recognised in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as a replacement, if recognition criteria are satisfied and any remaining carrying amount of the cost of previous inspection is derecognised. For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of PPE measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1, 2015.

Property, Plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of

property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

2.11 Depreciation and Amortisation:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment and investment property have been provided on the straight line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of construction accessories (6 years), in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, maintenance, etc.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment in joint venture operations provided on Straight Line Method/Written Down Value Method based on useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Intangible Assets are amortised, on straight line method based on the useful life as assessed by the Management. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset is reviewed every year.

2.12 Investment property: Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16's requirement for cost model.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of Investment property measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 01, 2015.

2.13 Intangible Assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost. Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.14 Inventories:

Raw Materials:

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares are valued at weighted average cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties and taxes.

Properties Under Development:

Properties under development are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost comprises all direct development expenditure, administrative expenses and borrowing costs.

2.15 Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint ventures: On initial recognition, these investments are recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequently, they are measured at cost.

2.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets :

The Company recognises provisions when there is present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for Contingent liabilities is made in the notes on accounts when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when flow of economic benefits is probable.

2.17 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

2.18 Financial assets

Financial asset is

  1. Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,

    1. Contractual right to
  2. a) receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or
  3. b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the Entity.

2.19 Subsequent measurement of the financial assets

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling 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. Further, in case where the company has made an irrevocable selection based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit and loss.

(iv) The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit and loss.

2.20 Financial liabilities

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

  • a) deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or
  • b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Entity.

The company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

2.21 Subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

2.22 Derecognition of financial instruments

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.23 Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may or may not be realized.

2.24 Impairment of Assets:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment: Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An

impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

2.25 Fair value measurement

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of 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:

  • a. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • b. In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

2.26 Leases :

The Company's leasing arrangements are mainly in respect of operating leases for premises and construction equipment. The leasing arrangements range from 11 months to 10 years generally and are usually cancellable / renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.

2.27 Earnings Per Share :

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.28 Cash Flow Statement:

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

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

  • 2.29 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies: The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.
  • (i) Revenue recognition: The Company uses the stage of completion method using survey method and /or on completion of physical proportion of the contract work to measure progress towards completion in respect of construction contracts. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labour costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable.
  • (ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are the key assumptions concerning the future , and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Items requiring
significant
estimate
Assumption and estimation uncertainty
Review of
property, plant
and equipment
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives,
amortisation method and residual value of property
plant and equipment at the end of each reporting
period. During the current year, there has been no
change in life, amortisation method and residual value
considered for the assets.
Items requiring
significant
estimate
Assumption and estimation uncertainty
Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are
measured at fair value for the financial reporting
purposes. The valuation committee which is headed by
the Chief Financial Officer of the Company determines
the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair
value measurements.
Fair value
measurements
and valuation
processes
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Company uses market-observable data to the extent
it is available. Where Level 1inputs are not available,
the Company engages third party / internal qualified
valuers to perform the valuation . Finance team works
closely with the qualified external / internal valuers
to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and
inputs to the model. The Chief Financial Officer reports
the valuation committee's findings to the Board of
Directors about the causes of fluctuations in the fair
value of the assets and liabilities.
Provision
for doubtful
receivables and
contract assets
In assessing the recoverability of the trade receivables
and contracts assets, management's judgement
involves consideration of aging status, evaluation of
litigations and the likelihood of collection based on the
terms of the contract.
Estimation of net
realisable value of
inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and Fair
value. In estimating the net realisable value / Fair value
of Inventories the Company makes an estimate of
future selling prices and costs necessary to make the
sale.
Provision for
employee benefits
The Company uses actuarial assumptions to determine
the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting
period . These assumptions include the discount rate,
expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate
of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.
Provision for taxes Significant judgements are required in determining
the provision for income taxes, including the amount
expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax
positions. The company reviews the "MAT credit
entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes
down the asset to the extent that it is no longer
probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified
period.
Indirect tax
litigations
The Company is subjected to VAT assessments in
various states where projects were executed. Basing
on applicable VAT rules of various states the Company
estimated the VAT liability and provided in the book
of accounts. The VAT assessments in different states
are at different stages and on some of the assessment
orders, the Company made appeals and they are at
various tribunals and courts.

2.30 Exceptional Items:

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.

2.31 Operating cycle:

The Company adopts operating cycle based on the project period (including DLP) and accordingly all project related assets

2.32 Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted by the Company

On March 30, 2019, the MCA, issued certain amendments to Ind AS. The amendments relate to the following standards:

  • Ind AS 12 Income taxes to insert of Appendix C Uncertainty over income tax treatments.
  • Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits
  • Ind AS 23 Borrowing Costs
  • Ind AS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
  • Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments
  • Ind AS 111 Joint Arrangements
  • Ind AS 116 Leases

These amendments are effective from April 01, 2019. The Company believes that the aforementioned amendments will not materially impact the financial statements of the Company.

2.33 Changes in the accounting policies

Ind AS 115 supersedes Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Ind AS 18 Revenue and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensive disclosures.

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of April 01, 2018. Under this method, the standard can be applied either to all contracts at the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed at this date. The Company elected to apply the standard to all contracts as at April 01, 2018.

The cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 is recognised at the date of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Therefore, the comparative information was not restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18.

Impact of adopting Ind AS 115 as at April 01, 2018 is given in note no. 50.

41.1 Capital management

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plan and long-term strategic plans. The funding requirements are met through internal accruals and long-term/short-term borrowings. The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of Net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.

41.3 Financial risk management objectives

The Company's business activities exposed to a variety of financial risk viz., market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's focus is to estimate a vulnerability of financial risk and to address the issue to minimize the potential adverse effects of its financial performance.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company's exposure to market risk is primarily on account of the following:

• Interest rate risk

Out of total borrowings, large portion represents short term borrowings (WCDL) and the interest rate primarily basing on the Company's credit rating and also the changes in the financial market. Company continuously monitoring over all factors influence rating and also factors which influential the determination of the interest rates by the banks to minimize the interest rate risks.

(` in crores)

The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's outstanding floating rate borrowings. Out of the total borrowings of 1,993.28 crores (31.03.2018: 1,300.05 crores) as of 31.03.2019, the floating rate borrowings are 1,416.31 crores (31.03.2018: 1,006.85 crores). For every 50 base points change in the interest rate when no change in other variables, it will affect the profit before tax by 7.08 crores for the year ended March 31, 2019 (31.03.2018: 5.03 crores).

• 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.

We summarize below the financial instruments which have the foreign currency risks as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

(a) The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities based on gross exposure at the end of the reporting period is as under:

ii) Credit risk management

Credit Risk refers to the risk for a counter party default on its contractual obligation resulting a financial loss to the Company.

Credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets is limited as the customers of the Company mainly consists of the Government promoted entities having a strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets. In assessing the recoverability of the trade receivables and

contracts assets, management's judgement involves consideration of aging status, evaluation of litigations and the likelihood of collection based on the terms of the contract. Refer note 6, 10.3 and 15.4 for provision made against trade receivable and contract assets.

Credit risk on account of investments, loans (including interest) and other receivables from group companies / related parties has been adequately provided in the books. The cash and bank balances (excluding cash on hand) are held with banks and financial institutions having good credit rating.

iii) Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuous planning and monitoring of actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

As at

Deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits for which no
deferred tax assets have been recognised are attributable to the following:
-Long-term capital loss 539.64 549.13

The Company has received the part payment (25% of total consideration) of 27.45 crores. As per the said regulations the Warrants would be converted into equivalent number of equity shares of 2.00 each (at a premium of 117.37 per share) on payment of the balance amount prior to expiry of 18 months from the date of issue of convertible warrants.
  • 47 Amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the year recognised as revenue in the current year of ` 937.84 crores.

Increase in the contract assets and contract liabilities as at March 31, 2019 from April 01, 2018 is on account of increase in operations of the Company.

48 Reconciling the amount of revenue recognised in the statement of profit and loss with the contracted price

There is no difference in the contract price negotiated and the revenue recognised in the statement of profit and loss for the current year. There is no significant revenue recognised in the current year from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

The nature of the adjustments as at April 01, 2018 and the reasons for the significant changes in the balance sheet as at March 31, 2019 and the statement of profit or loss for the year ended March 31, 2019 are described below:

  • (a) The amount of work done but pending acknowledgment by contractee was recognised as "Work-in-progress" at cost (disclosed under "Inventories") until previous year. Under Ind AS 115, the same is treated as "Unbilled Revenue" (disclosed under "Other Current Assets") which is valued at the contracted rates amounting to 1,442.56 crores (April 01, 2018: 1,280.93 crores) and thereby including profit element of 61.58 crores (April 01, 2018: 45.35 crores). This has resulted in an increase of revenue for the current year by 161.63 crores which otherwise would have been disclosed as changes in work-in-progress amounting to 145.40 crores. Under Ind AS 115, the Company has also provided for expected credit loss (ECL) on the aforesaid contract assets amounting to 51.66 crores (April 01, 2018: 44.57 crores). This has resulted in an increase in construction expenses by 7.09 crores. The net impact of the above adjustments is resulted in the current year profit increased by 5.95 crores (net of taxes of 3.19 crores) and on the opening balance of retained earnings increased by 0.50 crores (net of deferred taxes of ` 0.28 crores).
  • (b) The amounts billed but for which payment is due on completion of future performance obligation, amounting to 2,813.27 crores (April 01, 2018: 2,244.84 crores), was earlier shown under "Trade Receivables" have been reclassified to "Other Current Assets" and "Other Non Current Assets".

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

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

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

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its associates in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and of its associates and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

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

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

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

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

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated Ind AS 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 to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • For the branches, joint operations and other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements and other financial information, in respect of 50 subsidiaries, 10 joint operations and 5 branches, whose financial statements include total assets of 3,480.27 crores and net assets of 867.60 crores as at March 31, 2019, and total revenues of 980.76 crores and net cash outflows of 2.82 crores for the year ended on that date. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by other auditors, which financial statements, other financial information and auditor's reports have been furnished to us by the management. The consolidated Ind AS financial statements also include the Group's share of net loss of ` 7.28 crores for the year ended March 31, 2019, as considered in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, in respect of 8 associates, whose financial statements, other financial information have been audited by other auditors and whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management.

Of the above 2 branches, 5 subsidiaries and 1 associate are located outside India whose financial statements and other financial information have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been audited by other auditors under generally accepted auditing standards applicable in their respective countries. The Company's management has converted the financial statements of such branches, subsidiaries and associate located outside India from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Company's management.

ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE CONSOLIDATED IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NCC LIMTED

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

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of NCC Limited as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of NCC Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Holding Company") and its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

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

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, both, issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

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

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS 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 over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, maintained in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31,2019, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Other Matters

Our report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Holding Company, insofar as it relates to these 32 subsidiary companies and 6 associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such subsidiaries and associates incorporated in India.

The shares of the Company, was listed on the stock exchanges in India, in 1992 pursuant to Public offer of equity shares. The registered office of the Company is located at NCC House, Madhapur, Hyderabad - 500 081, Telangana, India. The Company, its subsidiaries, and Associates collectively referred to as the "Group" is engaged in the infrastructure sector and is undertaking turnkey EPC contracts as well as BOT projects on Public-Private Partnership basis. The Group's range of verticals comprises of Buildings & Housing, Roads, Railways, Mining, Water & Environment, Irrigation, Power, Electrical, Metals, Oil & Gas and International Business.

2 Significant accounting policies:

2.1 Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time).

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Ind AS under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time). Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transaction that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as a net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the parent Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • Has power over the investee;
  • Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceased to control the subsidiary.

Profit and loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the shareholders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

2.4 Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the following basis:

  • a) NCCL consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 40. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Subsidiary companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after fully eliminating intra-group balances, intra-group transactions and resulting unrealized profits or losses on intra-group transactions as per Indian Accounting Standard 110.
  • b) Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
  • c) A Joint Venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement, have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in Joint Venture are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. The Group's investment in joint venture includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
  • d) The financial statements of the Subsidiaries, Joint ventures and the Associates used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Company, i.e. March 31, 2019 except one subsidiary where the financial statement is drawn as at December 31, 2018.
  • e) The excess of cost to the Group, of its investment in the subsidiaries over the Group's share of equity is recognised in the consolidated financial statements as Goodwill and tested for impairment annually.
  • f) Non-controlling interests in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries is identified and presented in consolidated balance sheet under the Total Equity group.
  • g) Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries consists of:

  • i) The amount of equity attributable to Noncontrolling holders at the date on which investment in a subsidiary is made; and

  • ii) The Non-controlling holders share of movements in the equity since the date the parent subsidiary relationship came into existence.
  • h) The consolidated financial statements are prepared to the extent possible using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to extent possible, in the same manner as the Company's separate financial statements.

The Subsidiaries and Associate Companies are considered for consolidated financial statements are given in Note 40.

2.5 Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interest and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to shareholders of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interest. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to the statement of profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable Ind AS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under Ind AS 109, or when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

2.6 Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The Group's policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate and a joint venture is described at note 2.4.

2.7 Revenue Recognition

a) Accounting policy as per new revenue standard

The Group applied Ind AS 115 for the first time with effect from April 01, 2018. The changes in accounting policy on account of adoption of this new accounting standard are described in note 2.36.

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

Project division

A single performance obligation is identified in the construction projects that the Group engages in, owing to the high degree of integration and customisation of the various goods and services to provide a combined output which is transferred to the customer over time and not at a specific point in time, since the entity's performance creates or enhances as asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

With respect to the method for recognising revenue over time (i.e. the method for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation), the Group has established certain criteria that are applied consistently for similar performance obligations. In this regard, the method chosen by the Group to measure the value of goods or services for which control is transferred to the customer over time is the output method based on surveys of performance completed to date (or measured unit of work), according to which revenue is recognised corresponding to the units of work performed and on the basis of the price allocated thereto. In cases where the work performed till the reporting date has not reached the milestone specified in the contract, the Group recognises revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that the customer will acknowledge the same. This method is applied as the progress of the work performed can be measured during its performance on the basis of the contract. Under this method, on a regular basis, the work completed under each contract is measured and the corresponding output is recognised as revenue.

Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the scope or price or both. Goods / Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis. Goods / Services those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively as a separate contract, if the additional goods/services are priced at the standalone selling price else as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract . In cases where the additional work has been approved but the corresponding change in price has not been determined, the recognition of revenue is made for an amount with respect to which it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, this amount is recognised only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount recognised will not occur.

Real Estate

The Group has assessed and determined that the performance obligation for all its revenue streams are performed at a point in time.

Contract costs

Costs related to work performed in projects are recognised on an accrual basis. Costs incurred in connection with the work performed are recognised as an expense.

Provision for future losses

Provision for future losses are recognised as soon as it becomes evident that the total costs expected to be incurred in a contract exceed the total expected revenue from that contract.

Contract balances

i) Contract assets

A contract asset is recognised for amount of work done but pending billing/acknowledgement by customer or amounts billed but payment is due on completion of future performance obligation, since it is conditionally receivable. The provision for Expected Credit Loss on contract assets is made on the same basis as financial assets as stated in Note 2.21.

ii) Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Group's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

iii) Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received advance payments from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before

the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the consideration received.

b) Accounting policy till previous years

  • i) Project Division: Revenue from construction contracts is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is determined by survey of work performed and / or on completion of a physical proportion of the contract work, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the contractee. Future expected loss, if any, is recognised as and when assessed.
  • ii) Property Development: Revenue is recognised when the Group enters into an agreement for sale with the buyer and all significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer and there is no uncertainty regarding realisability of the sale consideration.
  • iii) Real Estate Project: Revenue from the sale of properties is recognised on transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyers, which coincides with the entering into a legally binding agreement and it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration. However, if at the time of transfer substantial acts are yet to be performed under the contract, revenue is recognised on the basis of percentage completion method, measured on the basis of percentage of actual cost incurred including proportionate land cost bears to the total estimated cost of the project under execution.

Revenue comprises the aggregate amount of sale price as per the terms of the agreement entered into with the customers. The recognition is subject to reaching 25% of physical progress measured in terms of estimated cost and upon compliance of other conditions stipulated in the Guidance note on Accounting for Real estate transactions (Ind AS compliant companies) issued by the ICAI.

The estimate of cost and saleable areas is reviewed periodically by the management and any effect of changes in estimates is recognised in the period of changes. Further, on periodical review if any project is expected to incur loss, the entire loss is recognised immediately.

Cost in relation to the above includes cost of land, development cost, project over heads, borrowing cost and all cost incurred for bringing the property to marketable condition or its intended use.

iv) Management fees: Management fee is accounted on accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

2.8 Other Income:

  • a) Dividend Income: Dividend income from Investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established.
  • b) Interest income: Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
  • c) Rental income: Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised over the term of the relevant lease.

2.9 Foreign exchange translation and foreign currency transactions:

These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crores)

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.

For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations including foreign branches are translated into Indian Rupees using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in

which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to statement of profit and loss.

2.10 Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs include interest and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the date of capitalisation of such asset are included in the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

2.11 Employee Benefits:

2.11.1 Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Superannuation

The Group's contribution to Superannuation fund is considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.

Provident Fund

Contribution to Provident fund made to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner are recognised as expense.

Defined Benefit Plans

For defined post benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling ( if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

In respect of employees of overseas subsidiaries and branches, contribution to defined benefit contribution retirement plans, is determined in accordance with the respective state laws.

2.11.2 Compensated Absences

The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment and availment, as per the policy of the Group.

The liability towards such unutilized leave as at the end of each balance sheet date is determined based on independent actuarial valuation and recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In respect of employees of overseas subsidiaries and branches, end of service benefit is accrued in accordance with the terms of employment. Employees entitlements to annual leave and gratuity are recognized on actual basis and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.12 Taxes on Income:

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

2.12.1 Current Tax:

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

2.12.2 Deferred Taxes:

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such

deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

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

2.12.3 Current and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

2.13 Property, plant and equipment:

"Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of Property, plant and equipment comprises of purchase price, applicable duties and taxes, any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets, upto the date the asset is ready for its intended use. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located is required to be included in the cost of the respective item of property plant and equipment. Cost of major inspections is recognised in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as a replacement, if recognition criteria are satisfied and any remaining carrying amount of the cost of previous inspection is derecognised. For transition to Ind AS, the Group has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of PPE measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1, 2015.

Property, Plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are disclosed separately.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

2.14 Depreciation and Amortisation:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment and investment property have been provided on the straight line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of construction accessories (6 years), in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, maintenance, etc.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment in joint venture operations provided on Straight Line Method/Written Down Value Method based on useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Intangible Assets are amortised on straight line method based on the useful life as assessed by the Management. The amortisation method, the residual value and amortisation period for intangible assets shall be reviewed at least at each financial year-end.

2.15 Investment property: Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16's requirement for cost model.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from

disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

For transition to Ind AS, the Group has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of Investment property measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1, 2015.

2.16 Intangible Assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the Group controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost. Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.17 Inventories:

Raw Materials:

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares are valued at weighted average cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties and taxes.

Work in Progress:

Work-in-Progress is valued at the contracted rates less profit margin / estimates.

Properties Under Development:

Properties under development are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost comprises all direct development expenditure, administrative expenses and borrowing costs.

Real Estate projects:

Completed properties held for sale are stated at the actual cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Construction Work-in-progress is valued at cost. Cost is sale value less profit margin.

2.18 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:

The Group recognises provisions when there is present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for Contingent liabilities is made in the notes on accounts when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when flow of economic benefit is probable.

2.19 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

2.20 Financial assets

Financial asset is

    1. Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,
    1. Contractual right to
  • a) receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or
  • b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the Entity.

2.21 Subsequent measurement of the financial assets

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling 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. Further, in case where the Group has made an irrevocable selection based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through Profit and loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through Profit and loss.

(iv) The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit and loss.

2.22 Financial liabilities

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

  • a) deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or
  • b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Entity.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

2.23 Subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

2.24 Derecognition of financial instruments

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.25 Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may or may not actually be realized.

2.26 Receivable under Service concession arrangement:

These arrangements are accounted for based on the nature of the consideration. The intangible asset model is used to the extent that the company bears the demand risk. The financial asset model is used when the Group has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction services. When the unconditional right to receive cash covers only part of the service, the two models are combined to account separately for each component.

If the Group performs more than one service (i.e., construction or upgrade services and operation services) under a single contract or arrangement, consideration received or receivable is allocated by reference to the relative fair values of the services delivered, when the amounts are separately identifiable.

In the financial asset model, the amount due from the grantor meets the definition of a receivable which is measured at fair value. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost. The amount initially recognised plus the cumulative interest on that amount is calculated using the effective interest method. Any asset carried under concession arrangements is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its future use or disposal or when the contractual rights to the financial asset expire.

2.27 Impairment of Assets:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment: Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

2.28 Fair value measurement:

The Group measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • a. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • b. In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

2.29 Leases:

The Group leasing arrangements are mainly in respect of operating leases for premises and construction equipment. The leasing arrangements range from 11 months to 10 years generally and are usually cancellable / renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.

2.30 Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.31 Cash Flow Statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated based on the available information.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.32 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies: The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.

  • (i) Revenue recognition: The Group uses the stage of completion method using survey method and /or on completion of physical proportion of the contract work to measure progress towards completion in respect of construction contracts. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labour costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable.
  • (ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

During the current year, there has been no change in life,

the assets.
Some of The Group's assets and liabilities are measured
at fair value for the financial reporting purposes. The
valuation committee which is headed by the Chief
Financial Officer determines the appropriate valuation
techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is
available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the
Group engages third party / internal qualified valuers
to perform the valuation. Finance team works closely
with the qualified external / internal valuers to establish
the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the
model. The Chief Financial Officer reports the valuation
committee's findings to the Board of Directors about the
cause of fluctuations in the fair value of the assets and
liabilities.
In assessing the recoverability of the trade receivables
and contracts assets, management's judgement involves
consideration of aging status, evaluation of litigations
and the likelihood of collection based on the terms of

Provision for
employee
benefits
The Group uses actuarial assumptions to determine
the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting
period. These assumptions include the discount rate,
expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate
of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.
Provision for
taxes
Significant judgements are required in determining
the provision for income taxes, including the amount
expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax positions.
The Group reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at
each reporting date and writes down the asset to the
extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal
tax during the specified period.
Indirect tax
litigations
The Group is subjected to VAT assessments in various
states where projects were executed. Basing on applicable
VAT rules of various states the Group estimated the VAT
liability and provided in the book of accounts. The VAT
assessments in different states are at different stages
and on some of the assessment orders, the Group made
appeals and they are at various tribunals and courts.

2.33 Exceptional Items:

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.

2.34 Operating cycle:

The Group adopts operating cycle based on the project period (including DLP) and accordingly all project related assets and liabilities are classified into current and non current. Other than project related assets and liabilities, 12 months period is considered as normal operating cycle.

2.35 Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted by the Group

On March 30, 2019, the MCA, issued certain amendments to Ind AS. The amendments relate to the following standards:

  • Ind AS 12 Income taxes to insert of Appendix C Uncertainty over income tax treatments.
  • Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits
  • Ind AS 23 Borrowing Costs
  • Ind AS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
  • Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments
  • Ind AS 111 Joint Arrangements

- Ind AS 116 Leases

These amendments are effective from April 01, 2019. The Group believes that the aforementioned amendments will not materially impact the financial statements of the Group.

2.36 Ind AS 115 supersedes Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Ind AS 18 Revenue and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensive disclosures.

The Group has adopted Ind AS 115 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of April 01, 2018. Under this method, the standard can be applied either to all contracts at the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed at this date. The Group elected to apply the standard to all contracts as at April 01, 2018.

The cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 is recognised at the date of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Therefore, the comparative information was not restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18.

Impact of adopting Ind AS 115 as at April 01, 2018 is given in Note 59.

42.3 Financial risk management objectives

The Group's business activities exposed to a variety of financial risk viz., market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's focus is to estimate a vulnerability of financial risk and to address the issue to minimize the potential adverse effects of its financial performance.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group's exposure to market risk is primarily on account of the following:

• Interest rate risk

Out of total borrowings, large portion represents short term borrowings (WCDL) and the interest rate primarily basing on the Group's credit rating and also the changes in the financial market. Group continuously monitoring over all factors influence rating and also factors which influential the determination of the interest rates by the banks to minimize the interest rate risks.

The Group's exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group's outstanding floating rate borrowings. Out of the total borrowings of 2,691.40 crores (31.03.2018: 2,060.89 crores) as of 31.03.2019, the floating rate borrowings are 1,502.24 crores (31.03.2018: 1,191.38 crores). For every 50 base points change in the interest rate when no change in other variables, it will affect the profit before tax by 7.51 crores for the year ended March 31, 2019 (31.03.2018: 5.96 crores).

• Foreign currency risk

The Group has several balances in foreign currency and consequently the group is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years, which has affected the results of the Group, and may fluctuate substantially in the future. The Group evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.

We summarise below the financial instruments which have the foreign currency risks as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

(a) The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities based on gross exposure at the end of the reporting period is as under:

Currency Liabilities Assets

USD (crores) 4.32 4.30 5.09 5.15

Euro (crores) 0.31 0.01 - -
INR (` in crores) 24.40 0.51 - -

The Group doesn't have any forex derivative instrument, hence all the above balances are unhedged.

(b) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is not substantially exposed for business activities in foreign currency. Hence, the impact of any significant fluctuation in the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact of the operating profits of the Group.

ii) Credit risk management

Credit Risk refers to the risk for a counter party default on its contractual obligation resulting a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets is limited as the customers of the Group mainly consists of the Government promoted entities having a strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets. In assessing the recoverability of the trade receivables and contracts assets, management's judgement involves consideration of aging status, evaluation of litigations and the likelihood of collection based on the terms of the contract. Refer note 6, 11.3 and 16.3 for provision made against trade receivable and contract assets.

Credit risk on account of investments, loans (including interest) and other receivables from related parties has been adequately provided in the books. The cash and bank balances (excluding cash on hand) are held with banks and financial institutions having good credit rating.

iii) Liquidity risk management

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuous planning and monitoring of actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

59 Transition impact of Ind AS 115

The nature of the adjustments as at April 01, 2018 and the reasons for the significant changes in the balance sheet as at March 31, 2019 and the statement of profit or loss for the year ended March 31, 2019 are described below:

  • (a) The amount of work done but pending acknowledgment by contractee was recognised as "Work-in-progress" (disclosed under "Inventories") and valued at cost until previous year by the Group for construction contracts. Under Ind AS 115, the same is treated as "Unbilled Revenue" (disclosed under "Other Current Assets") which is valued at the contracted rates amounting to 1,546.38 crores (April 01, 2018: 1,498.78 crores) and thereby it includes profit element of 61.58 crores (April 01, 2018: 45.35 crores). This has resulted in increase in revenue for the current year by 47.60 crores which otherwise would have been disclosed as changes in work-in-progress amounting to 31.37 crores. Under Ind AS 115, the Group has also provided for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) on the aforesaid contract assets amounting to 51.66 crores (April 01, 2018: 44.57 crores). This has resulted in increase in construction expenses by 7.09 crores. The cumulative effect of the above adjustments on the current year profit is 5.95 crores (net of taxes of 3.19 crores) and on the opening balance of retained earnings is 0.50 crores (net of deferred taxes of ` 0.28 crores).
  • (b) The amounts billed but for which payment is due on completion of future performance obligation, amounting to 2,900.88 crores (April 01, 2018: 2,356.95 crores), was earlier shown under "Trade Receivables" have been reclassified to "Other Current Assets" and "Other Non Current Assets".
  • (c) Consequent to transition to Ind AS 115 in its real estate business, the group has reversed the revenue recognized in respect of units for which control has not been transferred. This has resulted in reduction in trade receivables by 20.45 crores (April 01, 2018: 33.46 crores), increase in advance from customers by 57.74 crores (April 01, 2018: 123.63 crores) and increase in work-in-progress by 69.47 crores (April 01, 2018: 137.63 crores), resulting in an decrease in retained earnings by 15.57 crores (net of decrease in non controlling interest by 3.89 crores) as at April 01, 2018. This has also resulted in an increase in the revenue from contracts with customer and cost represented by changes in work-in-progress for the year ending March 31, 2019 by 78.90 crores and 68.16 crores respectively, resulting in an increase in profit before tax by 8.59 crores (net of increase in non controlling interest by 2.15 crores).

The cumulative impact of Ind AS 115 during the year has resulted in increase of ` 0.24 to the Earning per shares of the Group.
