SUBHASH SETHI Chairman SPML Infra Ltd.

"We have realized that the projects we execute have greater impact on people's lives by providing basic necessities like water and electricity. So, we have moved into being a very impact oriented company with deeper social conscience."

Dear esteemed shareholders,

Before I discuss the economy, business and company affairs, let us remember the people we lost during the coronavirus pandemic. It is a big humanitarian loss globally on such a large scale, severity and geographical spread that has never been seen before in a century.

Some of our valued employees have suffered and we lost them during the second wave of pandemic. I, and my colleagues on the Board and Company Management offers our heartfelt condolences to all those in our SPML Family who have lost their loved ones. Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed.

For us the financial year 2020-21 was marked not only by its challenges due to COVID-19, but also by how people in your company came together to fight it. After the initial lockdowns, your company continued to operate its project sites and offices in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Central, State and local Governments, while strictly adhering to the prescribed safety protocols.

Even amidst the 2nd wave of COVID-19 infections and thereafter, the employees of your company constantly worked closely with the clients, associates and suppliers to ensure continuing project executions and uninterrupted supply of water and power to the people of our country through many water supply and electricity distribution projects. The commitment and courage shown by the employees during these testing times has been exemplary. My sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of them.

I would also like to convey our deepest gratitude to all the doctors, healthcare professionals, police and administration officials across the country for the extraordinary fortitude displayed in serving the people during these trying times. Unprecedented efforts were witnessed as the country rallied together to provide crucial support in augmenting oxygen supplies, ramping up healthcare infrastructure and extending relief to the people in need.

Government of India's endeavors to accelerate vaccination program brings optimism for the future. The determined efforts to vaccinate all citizens are undoubtedly the most crucial to restore normalcy at the earliest possible. The crisis however is far from over. The distress caused by the pandemic continues to be a concern for lives and livelihoods as well as for our economic growth. Despite uncertainties, the Indian economy holds immense promise.

Indian Economy

Indian economy that was witnessing a sharp drop in GDP following the impact of Covid-19 induced disruptions and lockdowns has started showing signs of improvement during the second half of FY 21. The GST collections got robust from November 2020 onwards. However, the second wave that started in March 2021 has come in the way of further recovery necessitating deployment of resources to protect lives, safety, and basic needs of large number of people besides augmenting healthcare infrastructure that was needed to fight the most deadly second wave. There have been restrictions and lockdowns again by all the states across the country causing shutdown and constraints for movements and activities.

Apart from the huge spends on covid relief measures, the Government is focusing on economic recovery with planned investment in various infrastructure projects and schemes. This can create employment as well as income sources that can boost economic activities in the coming months. With the vaccination program and focused approach of the government, I am hopeful that the Indian economy will bounce back at a higher rate leading to global supremacy towards achieving \$5 trillion GDP.

Construction Sector

According to a latest report, 'Global Construction Outlook to 2025' signifying that global construction sector will continue on a recovery path following the historic collapse in activity in 2020 amid the severe disruptions caused by the pandemic. From 2022 to 2025, global output growth is predicted to average 3.7% a year.

In India, the construction sector which suffered colossal losses is expected to bounce back from the perils. The Union Budget laid huge emphasis on the infrastructure sector, highlighting the commitment of the Government to the growth of the sector, which would have a multiplier effect on the overall economy.

On his Independence Day speech, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India has put the Covid shocks behind and places the economy on the fast-track, promising several initiatives. ` 100 trillion announcements for Pradhan Mantri Gatishakti Bharat Master Plan for integrated infrastructure growth will certainly see robust growth in the sector in coming years. He also set a target of making India energy independent by 2047 by replacing petroleum with other forms of energy produced indigenously and announced a National Hydrogen Mission noting the

country spends ` 12 trillion on energy imports every year. The National Infrastructure Pipeline Project announced earlier and re-emphasized again also aimed at easier interconnectivity between road, rail, air and waterways to reduce travel time and improve industrial productivity.

India is facing a vital challenge of fresh water. Already, 20% of the population lacks clean drinking water and 40% lacks basic sanitation. Over 43% population is suffering from acute water stress and more than 20 large cities in the country are facing extreme water shortage and possibility of 'day zero' water supply. Sustainable infrastructure development with awareness and behavioral change around water usage and management is critical in addressing this challenge.

The government is well aware about the emerging situation and has initiated a number of dedicated water supply schemes. The flagship, Jal Jeevan Mission will see huge spending worth ` 6.47 trillion under rural and urban water supply infrastructure development in the next 3 years' time. As on mid-August'21; 7.98 crore (41.57%) out of 19.19 crore total households in the country has been connected with functional tap water supply. Every rural household in over 1.08 lakh villages and 78 districts is getting assured tap water supply in their home.

Apart from the much publicized Jal Jeevan Mission program, there are other schemes in water sector like Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana- Har Khet ko Pani with an allocation of 9,050 Crore; Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) Phase 2 & 3 with 10,200 Crore for the period of 2020 – 2031; National River Linking Project - 22,495 Crore; Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) with 7,300 Crore for 2021-22; and National Hydrology Programme with 3,680 Crore upto year 2024. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayi Yojana (PMKSY) - Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Project (AIBP) scheme with exclusive budget allocation of 11,588 Crore for the period of 2021-22; National Watershed Project with 2,611 Crore upto 2022; Atal Bhujal Yojana with 6,000 Crore upto year 2025 are the important government schemes that promises a better prospect for water infrastructure development in next few years' time.

On the capex side, the National Infrastructure Pipeline Plan has already taken up 8,158 projects and another 1,858 projects are under development stage. 217 projects worth INR 1.10 lakh crore are already completed. Another 678 projects worth ` 6 lakh crore have been in the stage of formulation and implementation.

Power, irrigation, roads and highways, urban infrastructure, railways, aviation, metro rail, bullet train, smart cities development, Swachh Bharat program, digital and telecom infrastructure and other sub-sectors together constitute the infrastructure development grid in India. The Centre and State Governments are the major funding sources with moderate participation from the private sector.

Water and electricity infrastructure is in focus of attention through implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission and the new power distribution scheme. On road connectivity, significant work is being done under the Bharatmala Pariyojana and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana which are expected to deliver gains in trunk and rural connectivity. Efficiency of transport services requires attention. Use of technology proposed under the National Logistics Policy is expected to deliver good results. With several key initiatives in the relevant sectors, it hold promises of good business prospects for your Company.

Technology Intervention

World over, business enterprises are navigating their way to a better future by connecting their businesses with digital and cellular technologies and automation devices. The global information technology market is expected to grow from \$7.85 trillion in 2020 to \$8.37 trillion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. Almost every object around us is going to be connected; from streetlights, water & electricity meters, water pumps, supply network, household utility connections, cars, elevators, household appliances and all utility gadgets we can think about. The transformative potential technology holds for business and society is boundless, allowing us to solve problems like never before. The pandemic has further accelerated extensive digitalization and this transformation is happening faster than ever.

In order to execute successful projects at scale, we must organize our business with the perspective of long-term transformation that includes setting up operational fundamentals in a smart way. We need to think digitalization and embed appropriate innovative technologies into the core of our business with clear and smooth path to business growth. With end-to-end implementation in mind, we will need to ensure that we have or can source the right skill sets and capabilities.

Company Highlights

Since its inception in 1981, your Company has come a long way to stand tall as one the largest water management company in the country. Many years of dedication and sweat have contributed to this fruitful yet exhilarating journey. Over the years, we have created sustainable water infrastructures across the country to provide drinking water facilities to more than 50 million people and have been a valuable partner to the government and water utilities.

Notwithstanding the positives outlined above, there exists a fair probability of conditions remaining uncertain over a longer duration as the pandemic is yet to abate, both globally and locally with the emergence of newer strains. Large scale disruptions have affected the growth pattern and continue to trigger aftershocks that weigh on the recovery. Your company had to deal with the following major challenges during FY 20-21.

  • Lockdown that started in the second fortnight of March 2020 and continued during a major part of Q1 of FY 21 have adversely impacted the operations. Company's project sites remained closed with significant losses reported in revenues and profitability.
  • The Company has gone through a difficult phase of liquidity crunch to meet its working capital requirements with mismatch cash flow due to payment delayed from the clients.
  • Absorption of idle costs of machineries and employees incurred during Q1 as your company did not resort employment cuts or kneejerk cost saving measures.
  • Continuous increasing of key raw-material prices from the second quarter onwards and absorbing price increases without disturbing the projects execution had a significant impact on profitability.
  • Making alternate indigenous supply arrangements for some key equipment and material that were being imported from other countries. This also caused project delays and loss of sizable execution opportunities during FY 21.
  • In the financials, like many other construction companies, your Company also suffered a major loss in sales and profit. The turnover during the year reduced drastically to 658.58 Crore as against 925.42 Crore in the previous year. The Company's profit also suffered a major loss of ` 107.17 Crore during the FY 21.

With the above background I shall proceed to briefly cover the other significant highlights of FY 21 and the steps being taken by your Company to stay stronger as it continued to maintain its leadership in the core water sector opportunities.

  • Your Company featured again in the World's Top 50 Private Water Companies, as per bi-annual survey by Global Water Intelligence, London. Your Company continuously being featured in World's Top 50 since 2015.
  • During the year, your Company also received substantial new project orders in joint ventures with different friendly companies worth ` 5,770 Crore from the esteemed clients in the state of Odisha, Manipur, and Uttar Pradesh including several projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission.
  • Your Company continue to bid for water projects aggressively and the business development team has already submitted or in the process of submitting project tenders worth about ` 20,000 Crore with our JV partners.

"We are well known as a key player in the water sector in India, improving quality of life of people across the country".

  • Your Company has completed a drinking water supply project in Manipur in a record time of 18 months as against the project duration of 24 months despite being a challenging task to provide tap water facilities to around 300,000 populations in 73,014 households. The project was inaugurated by Hon'ble Chief Minister of Manipur Shri N. Biren Singh.
  • The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India has laid the foundation stone for Manipur water supply projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission which your Company will be executing.
  • Your Company has secured an arbitration award of ` 236.43 Crore against the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for Bongaigaon Thermal Power Plant in the State of Assam which has been challenged by the NTPC and final outcome is awaited.
  • Your Company also featured among the BS1000 Top Indian Companies report published by leading business daily, Business Standard.

Every business has to discover its own ways to adapt to the new normal, find innovative approaches to meet the challenges and remain afloat in every aspect. The one who moves swiftly and take proactive measures is bound to sail through these turbulent times and emerge stronger. Your company took the disruptions caused by the pandemic as an opportunity and initiated several proactive steps in digitalizing business operations, project monitoring, HR management, technological intervention in systems and processes and most importantly augmenting supply chain to ensure that it is prepared to meet the requirement of every project adequately on time.

Your company is committed to the welfare of its employees at all levels and has kept their morale high through various support measures to tide over these difficult times. Almost every employee and work force is fully vaccinated and comprehensively follows all covid and safety guidelines.

Your Company is committed to conduct business with a strong environment conscience, to ensure sustainable development, safe work places and enrichment of the quality of life of its employees, clients and the community. It respects human rights, values supporting organizations and invests in innovative technologies and solutions for the economic growth of the country.

Before concluding, I once again wish to convey my sincere thanks to the dedicated employees of the Company. Without their efforts and commitment, the Company could not have performed and sustained during these challenging conditions. I would also like to thank the leadership team and management, for their continued strong and unequivocal support.

I extend my gratitude to the various government and regulatory authorities, Company's valued clients, suppliers, vendors, investors, bankers and shareholders for their consistent and resolute co-operation and trust.

Business Disruption

The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a 'Pandemic' to the Covid-19 disease. The pandemic has hit the economy, business and people around the world and has resulted in many restrictions, including nationwide lockdown, thereby greatly hampering businesses and day to day functioning of Companies. This pandemic has given rise to a new way of doing business.

In enforcing social distancing and to comply with the direction issued by the Government of India, the Company's Project sites remained closed from March 23, 2020 due to lockdown and partially opened w.e.f. May 04, 2020, adhering to the safety norms prescribed by the Government of India. The Company is taking utmost care of its staff and work force as per the guidelines like sanitization, social distancing, mandatory mask wearing, thermal checking at the gate, maintaining proper hygiene and regular disinfecting of the offices and work stations. Supply chain which got disturbed due to lockdown have been monitored to ensure availability of material at project sites under strict guidelines and following all required SOPs.

The on-going Covid-19 disruptions has hit us hard and disrupted regular business operations of the Company as the labour force got immobilized at sites due to lockdown because in the interruption in the project activities, supply chain disruption, human resource availability constraints etc. The business operations have recommenced on a lower scale post relaxation of lockdown as compared to pre-pandemic event.

Debt Resolution

The operations of your company have suffered in last few years mainly due to general economic slowdown as well as actions and inactions by various Government bodies / authorities, including policy paralysis and various other factors beyond control of the Company or its management. The major clients/ customers of your Company are government bodies wherein the monies of the company are stuck since long and for which the claims of the Company are pending.

Considering the financial stress in your Company, the Lenders restructured the debts of the Company in 2017 under the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines. However, the Company could not come out of financial stress and the mismatch in the cash flows was further widened with the non-release of sanctioned working capital credit facilities including Bank Guarantee limits, alongwith levy of excess margin & charges by some of the Lenders as against the agreed terms of sanction by the Banks. Due to the mismatch in the cash flows, the Company has not been able to service its debts or meet the payment obligations to the Lenders. Hence, the accounts of the Company with the Banks have been classified as sub – standard.

However, your company is in the process of formulating a resolution plan with Lenders, which is at an advanced stage of discussions after protracted negotiations and completion of various processes ('resolution plan'). Considering the above progress in implementation of a sustainable resolution plan together with positive future growth outlook, the management is confident of improving the overall financials of the Company. Your company's financials are further likely to improve with expected realization of various contingent assets in the form of arbitration awards and claims which have been considered as part of the resolution plan.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India has laid down India's vision to become a US\$5 trillion economy by 2025 and to achieve this goal the country needs to shift its gears to accelerate and sustain a GDP growth rate of 8% and above for the coming years. Such growth can be sustained by catalyzing investment in sectors of growth including special focus on infrastructure development, water supply, transportation and electricity and supported by a favourable demographic phase. Investment drives demand, creates capacity, increases productivity, introduces new technology, allows creativity, and generates jobs. Hence, the focus of the government is continued to push for transformative reforms to attract more investments and make India an economic powerhouse in Asia and beyond.

COVID-19 Disruption

COVID-19 brought massive disruption to the world, highlighting the vulnerability of human life, medical infrastructure and spurring changes in business models and consumer behavior. All economies from largest to developed or even meagre ones have been facing the heat of lockdowns, disruption and unfortunate mounting cases and deceases.

It is difficult to exactly calculate the economic damage caused by the pandemic globally, but there is widespread agreement among economists that it indeed have damaged the global economy severely. The forecast and emerging trends suggest that there is a real GDP loss of 4.5%. To put this number in perspective, global GDP is estimated at around 93.86 trillion USD in 2021 and 8 months of the year already passed by with virus still spreading in several large countries, a 4.5% drop in economic growth results in almost 4.22 trillion USD of lost economic output.

Advantage India

  • 2nd largest population (18%)
  • can facilitate skilling working age population which can power economic growth
  • one of the Fastest Growing Major Economy in the world with a GDP of over US\$2.78 trillion (expected 3.05 trillion in 2021)
  • India jumps 79 spots in World Bank Doing Business ranking in five years
  • By 2030:
  • o estimate suggest India will become the world's third largest economy
  • o average age of India's workforce will be 32 years
  • o urban India will account for nearly 75% of the GDP and Indian cities will act as engines of economic growth
  • o expected 40% India's population will live in urban regions
  • o targeting about 450 gigawatts of installed renewable energy capacity including 280 GW (over 60%) from solar alone
  • o upward income will make it a big market
  • o better infrastructure and accessibility will transform rural India
  • o over 1 billion will be connected digitally
  • o technology-enabled new business models will shape the economy

In India, as per the official data released by the ministry of statistics and program implementation, the Indian economy contracted by 7.3% in the April-June quarter of this fiscal year. This is the worst decline ever observed since the ministry had started compiling GDP stats quarterly in 1996.

The drop was much sharper in FY 21 as India's GDP dropped by a massive 24.4% during the Q1 of FY 21. According to the national income estimates, in the second quarter of the 2020- 21 financial year, the economy contracted by a further 7.4%, with the third and fourth quarters seeing only a weak recovery with GDP rising 0.5% and 1.6%, respectively. This means that overall rate of contraction in India was 7.3% for the whole FY 21. This means that 2020-21 financial year is the worst year in terms of economic contraction in the country's history.

Government support

Despite the clear danger that the global economy is in, there are also reasons to be hopeful that this worst-case scenario can be avoided. Governments across the world have learned from previous crises that the effects of a demand-driven recession can be countered with government spending. Consequently, many governments are increasing their provision of monetary welfare to citizens, and ensuring businesses have access to the funds needed to keep their operations alive throughout the pandemic. In addition, the specific nature of this crisis means that some sectors may benefit from it. E-commerce, food retail, and the healthcare industry provide at least some economic growth to offset the damage. Also, a crisis-induced movement to online activities (working from home, purchasing goods online, contacting family, etc.) can be observed. It gives an opportunity for IT solution providers to increase their market shares.

Vaccinated World

There is a hope that the pandemic crisis may have a clear end date when all restrictions can be lifted – this seems to be possible when the majority of the global population is vaccinated. It could then enable the global economy to experience a sharp rebound once the pandemic is over. The growing vaccine coverage lifts sentiments and latest report as on August 23, 2021 shows that 32.7% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 24.6% is fully vaccinated. 5 billion doses have already been administered globally, and 33.56 million are now administered each day. India has administered 588.9 million populations with at least one dose of the vaccine and almost 130 million people are fully vaccinated. It is currently vaccinating around five million people every day.

There are still many variables that could affect such an economic recovery – for example, a reduced supply of goods and services to meet lower demand could create mid-term shortages and price increases, but there are right mix of appropriate government responses with resource mobilization and increased spending that help in restoring the situation much earlier than previously estimated.

World Economy

The growing vaccine coverage lifts sentiments, but the global economic outlook still witnessing the uncertainty. The reason for this could be attributed to new virus mutations and rising concerns due to the accumulating human toll. Economic recovery varies across countries and sectors, due to difference in pandemic-induced disruptions and the extent of policy support.

Core inflation in all the major economies recorded a mixed trend in June 2021 as compared to the previous month. The inflation in United States, United Kingdom and Japan increased to 5.4%, 2.5% and 0.2% in June 2021 as compared to the previous month. Whereas the inflation in Germany, China and South Africa decreased to 2.3%, 1.1% and 4.9% in June 2021 as compared to the previous month. Inflation in India stood at 6.26% in June 2021 as compared to 6.30% in the previous month.

Trade balance in major economies in the global ecosystem recorded a mixed trend. The trade surplus of China, Russia, Brazil and UK increased; Canada, US and India's trade deficit increases. Future developments will depend on the path of the health crisis, including whether the new delta variants of COVID-19 strains prove susceptible to vaccines or they prolong the pandemic along with effectiveness of policy actions and the adjustment capacity of the economy.

The major economies have also recorded a decreasing trend in their GDP growth as per the latest data. GDP growth rate of US and Eurozone improved in Q1 2021. The GDP growth rate of UK, Germany, Japan and Russia decreased in Q1 2021 to (-)1.6%, (-)1.8%, (-)1.0% and (-)0.2%as compared to 1.3%, 0.5%, 2.8% and 0.6% in the previous quarter. The GDP growth rate of China increased in Q2 2021 to 1.3% from 0.4% in the previous quarter. US recorded an increase in growth rate of GDP to 6.4% in Q1 2021 as compared to 4.3% in the previous quarter.

Indian Economy

The Indian economy expanded 1.6% year-on-year in Q1 2021, accelerating from an upwardly revised 0.5% growth in Q4 and beating market forecasts of 1%. It was the 2nd straight quarter of growth since the country exit a pandemic-induced recession. On the expenditure side, both private and public spending rebounded while gross fixed capital formation rose faster. Meantime, net trade contributed negatively to growth as exports climbed 8.8% (vs -3.5% in Q4) but imports jumped at a faster 12.3% (vs -5% in Q4). On the production side, output rose for manufacturing (6.9%); construction (14.5%) and utilities (9.1%). In the last fiscal year, the economy contracted a record 7.3%, less than earlier estimates of an 8% drop. Asia's 3rd largest economy is expected to grow at the world's fastest rate

Transformative Policies That Impacted the Economy

this year despite projections for the current quarter being more pessimistic amid the 2nd flare-up of infections in April.

India Growth Rebound

Domestic economic activity started showing normal trends with receding of the second wave of the coronavirus and phased reopening of the economy. The growth indicators suggest that consumption, investment and external demand are all on the path of regaining traction. Further easing of restrictions and increasing coverage of vaccinations are likely to boost private spending on goods and services including travel, tourism and recreational activities, propelling a broad-based recovery in aggregate demand. The robust outlook for agriculture and

rural demand would continue to support private consumption. Urban demand is likely to accelerate with recovery in manufacturing and non-contact intensive services, release of pent-up demand and the pace of vaccination.

As Indian economy heads towards an uncertain but pivotal moment, growth is the only answer.

— Indian Express

The recent encouraging movements in several high frequency indicators, viz. sale of automobiles, electricity consumption, non-oil non-gold imports, consumer durable sales and hiring of urban workers. The results of the July round of the Reserve Bank's consumer confidence survey suggest that one year ahead of the predictions, sentiments returned to optimistic territory from historic lows. Early results from listed firms show that corporates have been able to maintain their healthy growth in sales, wage growth and profitability, led by information technology firms. This will also support aggregate disposable income of consumers.

Our actions, together with those of the Government, are aimed at alleviating distress and prioritising growth, while keeping the financial system healthy and stable.

— RBI

Although investment demand is still anaemic, improving capacity utilisation, rising steel consumption, higher imports of capital goods, congenial monetary and financial conditions and the economic packages announced by the union government are expected to kick-start a long-awaited revival. Innovation and working models adopted during the pandemic by businesses will continue to reap efficiency and productivity gains even after the pandemic recedes. This should help trigger a virtuous cycle of investment, employment and growth. Strong external demand is an opportunity for India and further policy support should help in capitalising on this. Global commodity prices and episodes of financial market volatility, together with vulnerability to new waves of infections are, however, downside risks to economic activity.

Taking all these factors into consideration, RBI has projected of real GDP growth at 9.5% in 2021-22 consisting of 21.4% in Q1; 7.3% in Q2; 6.3% in Q3; and 6.1% in Q4 of 2021-22. Real GDP growth for Q1 2022-23 is projected to be at 17.2%.

Rolling Back of Retrospective Tax

In an unprecedented move in the first week of August, India amended the Income Tax Act to put an end to the contentious retrospective tax law that had caused so much damage to its reputation as a destination conducive for business for overseas investors. The clause had put India in the crosshairs with two major British firms-Vodafone and Cairn, and by finally doing away with it, the government has given the clearest signal to world that India means business.

"The decision to get rid of retrospective taxation shows our commitment and consistency in policies. It sends a clear message to all investors that the decisive government of India is not only opening doors to new possibilities but also has the will to fulfil its promises," said the Hon'ble Prime Minister.

While addressing the heads of Indian missions abroad, the PM referred the development as he sought to make a clear distinction between the India of the past and the one reenergised over the last 7 years. The basic message was simple - India knew its rightful place in the world and unlike in the past it would not hesitate to take any step needed to get there.

Construction Sector Conundrum

Construction industry is the important growth driver of India's economy, an integral part of country's social and economic development. With a contribution of about 8% in India's GDP, construction sector employs around 16% of the nation's working population for their livelihood directly or through associated services. The rising population especially the trends

"India is transitioning from an agrarian economy to a service sector economy giving a boost to urbanization and hence creating a need for a robust infrastructure."

— National Infrastructure Pipeline Report

of urbanisation and urban expansion has necessitated the revamp and development of new infrastructure in cities and towns of India.

The government has focussed to accelerate the economic growth momentum through construction projects that provide the needed thrust to the beleaguered economy of the country. Through national infrastructure pipeline, government has announced an ambitious plan to spend ` 111 Lac Crore (US\$ 1.4 Trillion) by the year 2025 and have so far identified and listed 8,151 projects across sectors such as energy, social and commercial infrastructure, communication, water and sanitation, roads, airports and ports etc. Another 1870 projects are under development stage. The total outlay of the NIP consists of projects in various stages; the conceptualization stage amounting to USD 44.8 billion, the implementation stage worth USD 58.6 billion and the development phase worth USD 36.5 billion.

Government initiatives such as Swachh Bharat, developing smart cities, world-class highways and shipping infrastructure, housing and urban development, water and energy infrastructure, metro rail, bullet train etc. has attracted huge investments through FDI, private players apart from the allocation through government budgets.

"I firmly believe that best rewards come from a long term relationship with your clients, customers and partners. Commercial success comes from doing something useful for others and doing so on a sustainable basis. The record of SPML Infra is a testimony of the same."

— Mr. P. S. Rana Independent Director

Construction is the biggest industry in the world and have been severely hit by the wide spread pandemic that has created mayhem in almost every country. India has faced the disruptions at higher level with increasing cases and casualties and a longer period of lockdowns. The restrictions on construction activities, migration by the workforce and supply chain interruptions had a cascading impact on construction projects. This sector is amongst the worst-hit by the pandemic and for some companies it has even become an existential crisis. Government has put on hold a large number of development projects and deferred major spending on already planned and on ground projects. With a complete washout quarter and earnings downgrades, construction companies are scurrying for resources and projects to remain in business and survive through the worst phase of the business crisis.

India is at a decisive point in its journey with firm potential to reach the \$5 trillion economy, cannot afford to lose on the momentum of economic growth. A sudden economic crisis globally sparked by the pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges in social and commercial environment and many business continuity plans are being put to test.

The pandemic spread in the country has become a matter of great concern as more than 32 million reported cases and the casualty graph reaching higher with every passing day. It has significantly affected the construction and economic activities and abruptly halted the projects execution and reforms initiatives. The construction work for almost all construction projects were stopped due to nationwide lockdowns causing great concern and challenging financial stability of many companies beyond the current fiscal. Many construction companies in India are facing liquidity crunch with pending payments and mismatch in fund inflow and outflow. As the focus of government has shifted towards the welfare and safety of citizens in the wake of pandemic, investment on infrastructure development has been deferred. Several projects announced by government of India has been put on hold or shelved completely.

But it is going to be a defining event as long-awaited measures in the areas of infrastructure development, labour policy reforms, digitization of business, technological advancement in project execution, privatization of assets and utility services and more resilient business models could be implemented. Although, government is taking necessary steps to protect Indian industry from the threat and announced ` 1.7 Lakh Crore relief packages for those being impacted by the COVID-19 lockdowns. The state governments have been asked to use the building and construction workers welfare funds to provide relief to construction workers. Reserve Bank of India are taking steps to combat the slowing GDP growth and helping the industries with restructuring of loans and deferring payments to arrest the falling economy and declining construction sector which also forms the backbone of several other sectors.

Optimism

Despite the Q1 traction, India is taking swift remedial action and all international financial organisations are also positive about India's growth prospects in coming times. A rapid and sustained economic growth with about 8% of GDP expansion annually fuelled by heightened productivity and critical reforms will enable the nation to achieve the ambitious target of becoming an economic power in the world order. McKinsey Global Institute has suggested that manufacturing and construction are the two sectors that would need to amplify the most, adding 9.6% and 8.5% annual GDP growth while creating 11 million and 24 million jobs respectively from 2023 to 2030 to strengthen the growth momentum.

In the current scenario when almost all sectors are on the declining spree, water sector is seen to be propelling the growth. With dedicated allocation and initiatives for several water infrastructure development schemes including the most ambitious Jal Jeevan Mission (rural+urban) having exclusive budgetary allocation of ` 6.47 Lac Crore, the water is going to be the growth driver of construction sector for the next few years.

Manufacturing and Construction sectors need to amplify the most, adding 9.6% and 8.5% annual GDP to strengthen the growth momentum.

Technological Intervention

SPML Infra Limited have recognised the importance of digital technologies much earlier and implemented a number of technological initiatives such as core functioning is coordinated and controlled through SAP business suite-HANA, digitalization of old records and files and all current information is stored and organized electronically which is easily retrievable for quick decision making.

"Excellence in project delivery and uncompromising quality are two important aspects of business process that are synonymous to SPML as a brand. The people in the country deserve the best water supply services and SPML strives to be there to fill this need with utmost sincerity."

— Mr. T. S. Sivashankar Independent Director

The digital transformation and technological intervention at SPML Infra Limited has been beneficial with comprehensive adaptation and innovation. The efforts of digitizing project and business operations have been fructified and helped the company significantly during the pandemic. With the support of technology, SPML Infra continued its activities in the pandemic period while addressing the health and safety concerns of the workforce. These technological interventions have positively impacted the working of the company including project execution, tendering, engineering, procurement, and operation & maintenance. The pandemic has overturned all traditional business models and has propelled a new set of challenges. In this changed business landscape, the technological intervention across SPML Infra rose to the challenge, supporting the business during this critical time.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of SPML Infra Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SPML Infra Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of other auditors in respect of certain joint operations, as referred to in the Other Matters section of our report below, except for the effects/possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2021, its loss including other comprehensive expense, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As stated in:

a. Note no. 42 to the standalone financial statements, interest on YTM basis amounting to 5,560.59 Lakhs (March 31, 2020: 5,143.45 Lakhs) was not provided on Optionally Convertible Debentures ('OCDs') issued to lenders under S4A scheme, which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109:Financial Instruments. Had such interest expense been recognized, the finance costs, loss before tax, loss after tax and total comprehensive expense would have been higher by the aforesaid amount for the year ended March 31, 2021. Further, since the issue of OCDs, the total liability not provided for in respect of such interest on YTM basis is 17,287.29 Lakhs as at March 31, 2021 (March 31, 2020: 11,726.69 Lakhs). The Auditor's Report for the year ended March 31, 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

  • b. Note no. 49 to the standalone financial statements, 10,093.03 Lakhs representing liability towards interest expense on the Company's borrowings from financial creditors, for the period from November 01, 2019 to September 30, 2020, has been written back during the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Further, interest expense of 8,592.57 Lakhs on the said borrowings has not been recognized for the six month period October 01, 2020 to March 31, 2021. This is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments. Had the aforesaid liability towards interest expense not been written back and the aforesaid interest expense been recognised, the finance costs, loss before tax, loss after tax and total comprehensive expense for the year ended March 31, 2021 would have been higher by ` 18685.60 Lakhs.
  • c. Note no. 43 to the standalone financial statements, the Company's trade receivables (net of ECL) and inventories as at March 31, 2021 include 8,017.29 Lakhs and 1,120.38 Lakhs respectively (March 31, 2020: 6,142.27 Lakhs and 1,040.62 Lakhs respectively) relating to certain projects where the claims are presently under arbitration/ litigation proceedings. Pending the ultimate outcome of these matters (fate of which is presently unascertainable), we are unable to comment on the recoverability thereof. The Auditor's Report for the year ended March 31, 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone 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 qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following notes to the standalone financial statements:

(i) Note no. 44, regarding uncertainties relating to the recoverability of certain trade & other receivables as at March 31, 2021 and recognition of interest income thereon, arising out of arbitration awards pronounced in favour of the Company.

  • (ii) Note no. 41, regarding write back of ` 2,118.18 Lakhs in respect of certain credit balances.
  • (iii) Note no. 52, regarding closure of Trading Segment by the Company.
  • (iv) Note no. 29 on 'Other Expenses', regarding impairment on equity investments/expected credit loss on loans given by the Company/provisions against advances to vendors.
  • (v) Note no. 47, which describes the effects of uncertainties relating to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the Company's operations and management's evaluation of its impact on the standalone financial statements.
  • (vi) Note no. 48, which indicates that the Company has defaulted in payment of dues to financial creditors, is facing working capital constraints and its borrowing

facilities are irregular with certain financial creditors as at March 31, 2021. Based on ongoing discussion with such creditors for formulation of a resolution plan and other mitigating factors as mentioned in the aforesaid Note no. 48, the Company's Board of Directors is of the view that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for preparation of the standalone financial statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section hereinabove, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors' Report thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

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

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

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

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows 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 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 judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

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

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

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matters

Annexure-B to the Independent Auditors' Report of SPML Infra Limited

[Referred to in paragraph 2(h) under "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section in our Independent Auditors' Report of even date to the members of SPML Infra Ltd. on the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021]

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements under Clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")")

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of SPML Infra Limited ("the Company") as of 31stMarch, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

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

Auditors' Responsibility

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

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

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to 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 unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

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

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

SPML Infra Limited (the Company) is a public limited company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Its equity shares are listed on premier stock exchanges of India viz. BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company is engaged in the business of infrastructure development which inter-alia includes water management, water infrastructure development, waste water treatment, power generation, transmission and distribution, solid waste management, and other civil infrastructures.

These standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 have been approved by the Board of Directors on 29th June, 2021.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(i) Basis of Preparation and compliance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)

These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind-AS") consequent to the notification of The Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (the Rules) issued by the MCA. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy.

(ii) Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS, requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets & liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the results of operation during the reported period. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates which are recognized in the period in which they are determined.

(iii) Current and Non-current classifications

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

  • Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
  • Held primarily for the purpose of trading,

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

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

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

  • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
  • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

(iv) Basis of Measurement

These Ind AS Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting and going concern basis using historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, Freehold Land measured at Fair value and defined benefit plans which have been measured at actuarial valuation as required by relevant Ind AS (refer Accounting Policies for Financial Instruments, Property, Plant and Equipment and Employee Benefits).

(v) Functional and presentation currency

These Ind AS Financial Statements are prepared in Indian Rupee which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(vi) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition including attributable interest and finance cost, if any, till the date of acquisition/ installation of the assets less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent expenditure relating to Property, Plant and Equipment capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

from the financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use and the resultant gain or loss are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Capital work-in-progress, representing expenditure incurred in respect of assets under development and not ready for their intended use, are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, related borrowing cost and other direct expenditure.

(vii) Intangible Assets and Amortistion

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The Company's intangible assets constitutes software which has finite useful economic lives and these are amortized on a straight line basis, over their useful life of 5 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

(viii)Depreciation/Amortisation

Depreciation on items of Property, Plant & Equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management.

The Company has used the following useful economic lives to provide depreciation on its property, plant & equipment:

Block of Assets Useful economic life
(in years)
Buildings (including
temporary structure)
3- 60
Furniture & Fixtures 10
Plant & Equipment 9- 20
Computers 3 - 6
Vehicles 8- 10
Office Equipment 5
Software (Intangible asset) 5

The useful economic lives of buildings and plant and equipment as estimated by the management and supported by independent assessment by professionals, are lower than those indicated in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

The Company's intangible assets constitutes software which has finite useful economic lives and these are amortized on a straight line basis, over their useful life of 5 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

(ix) Impairment of Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on external or internal factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which represents the greater of the net selling price of assets and their 'value in use'. The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rates and risks specific to the asset.

(x) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings measured at Effective Interest rate (EIR).

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.

(xi) Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial Assets:

a) Classification

The company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
  • those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

b) Initial Recognition

Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value considering the concept of materiality. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial assets.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

c) Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both from collection of contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Further equity instruments where the company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, to classify as instruments measured at FVTOCI, are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income.

d) Impairment of Financial Assets

'The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

In accordance with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments, the Company recognizes impairment loss allowance on trade receivables based on historically observed default rates. Impairment loss allowance recognized during the year is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

e) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the company's continuing involvement. In that case, the company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the company has retained.

Financial Liabilities:

a) Classification

The company classifies its financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss, and
  • those measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial liabilities and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

b) Initial Recognition

Financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition considering the concept of materiality. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are reduced from the fair value on initial recognition.

c) Subsequent Measurement of Financial Liabilities

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Amortised cost: After initial recognition, interestbearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

d) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

The Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability when it currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(xii) Inventories

Materials, components and stores & spares to be used in contracts are valued at lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Stock of trading goods is valued at lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on First in First out (FIFO) basis.

Net Realizable Value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated cost necessary to make the sale.

(xiii)Cash & Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.

(xiv)Revenue Recognition

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" effective April 1, 2018. Ind AS 115 supersedes Ind AS 11 "Construction Contracts" and Ind AS 18 "Revenue". The Company has applied Ind AS 115 using the modified retrospective method and the cumulative impact of transition to Ind AS 115 has been adjusted against the Retained earnings as at April 1, 2018. Accordingly, the figures of the previous year are not restated under Ind AS 115.

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised good or service to a customer. The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of asset (good or service) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring good or service to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party.

Significant judgments are used in:

    1. Determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time; revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.
    1. Determining the expected losses, which are recognised in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected total contract cost as at the reporting date.

(I) Revenue from operations

a) Revenue from sale of goods including contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognised as follows:

Revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised when the control of the same is transferred to the customer and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for the exchanged goods. Performance obligations in respect of contracts for sale of traded goods is considered as satisfied at a point in time when the control of the same is transferred to the customer.

b) Revenue from construction/project related activity is recognised as follows:

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

Contract revenue is recognised over time to the extent of performance obligation satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. Contract revenue is recognised at allocable transaction price which represents the cost of work performed on the contract plus proportionate margin, using the percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the total estimated contract costs. Impairment loss (termed as provision for foreseeable losses in the financial statements) is recognized in profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the contract asset exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the company expects to receive towards remaining performance obligations (after deducting the costs that relate directly to fulfill such remaining performance obligations). In addition, the Company recognises impairment loss (termed as provision for expected credit loss on contract assets in the financial statements) on account of credit risk in respect of a contract asset using expected credit loss model on similar basis as applicable to trade receivables.

For contracts where the aggregate of contract cost incurred to date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses as the case may be) exceeds the progress billing, the surplus is shown as contract asset and termed as "Unbilled Revenue". For contracts where progress billing exceeds the aggregate of contract costs incurred to-date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses, as the case may be), the surplus is shown as contract liability and termed as "Due to customers". Amounts received before the related work is performed are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as contract liability and termed as "Advances from customer". The amounts billed on customer for work performed and are unconditionally due for payment i.e only passage of time is required before payment falls due, are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as trade receivables. The amount of retention money held by the customers pending completion of performance milestone is disclosed as part of contract asset and is reclassified as trade receivables when it becomes due for payment.

c) Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

(II) Other income

Interest income on investments and loans is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate including interest on investments classified as fair value through profit or loss or fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. Interest receivable on customer dues is recognised as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis provided there is no uncertainty towards its realisation.

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

(xv) Liquidated Damages

No provision is made for liquidated damages deducted by the customers, wherever these have been refuted by the Company and it expects to settle them without any loss. Pending settlement of these claims, the relative trade receivables are shown in the accounts as fully recoverable and the corresponding amounts are reflected as contingent liability.

(xvi)Leases

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are operating lease.

The Company as lessee:

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings or part thereof. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee,

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

except for leases with low-value assets and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense over the term of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability i.e. the present value of future lease payment, adjusted for any lease payment made at or prior to the commencement date of lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentive. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using interest rate implicit in the lease or if not readily determinable using the incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into lease, such incentives are adjusted towards right-of-use-asset.

Lease liability and right-of-use assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet.

(xvii) Foreign Currency Translations

Initial Recognition

In the financial statements of the Company, transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction.

Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.

Exchange Differences

Exchange differences arising on the settlement or reporting of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or reported in previous financial statements and / or on conversion of monetary items, are recognized at income or expense in the year in which they arise.

Forward Exchange Contracts (not intended for trading or speculation purpose)

The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts is amortized at expense or income over the life of the respective contracts. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense for the year.

(xviii) Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

Employee benefits

(A) Short-term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. Such short-term compensated absences are provided for in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on estimates.

(B) Post-employment benefits

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

  • i) Employee benefits in the form of Provident Fund is made to a government administered fund and charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss, when an employee renders the related service. There are no obligations other than the contributions payable to the fund.
  • ii) Gratuity is administered through an approved benefit fund. Gratuity liability is defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method done at the end of each financial year.
  • iii) Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

(xix)Income Taxes

Tax expense comprises of current (net of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit entitlement) and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with Indian Income Tax Act. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns Vis a Vis position taken in books of account which are subject to interpretation and creates provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases and accounting bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

For items recognized in OCI or equity, deferred / current tax is also recognized in OCI or equity.

(xx) Provisions

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.

If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

(xxi)Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(xxii) Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss before OCI for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

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

(xxiii) Accounting for Interests in Joint Operations

As per Ind AS 111 - Joint Arrangements, investment in Joint Arrangement is classified as either Joint Operation or Joint Venture. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor rather than legal structure of the Joint Arrangement. In case of Interests in joint operations, the Company as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation, its share in the assets/liabilities held/ incurred jointly with the other parties of the joint arrangement. Revenue is recognised for its share of revenue from the sale of output by the joint operation. Expenses are recognised for its share of expenses incurred jointly with other parties as part of the joint arrangement.

(xxiv) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using indirect method as set out in Ind AS -7 "Statement of Cash Flows", whereby profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of noncash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

6.1 An application for initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ('CIRP'), under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 has been admitted against Luni Power Company Pvt. Ltd. ('Luni'), a subsidiary of the Company, on December 23, 2019 by the Hon'ble NCLT, Chandigarh Bench. Consequently, since the said date, the Company is not exercising control or significant influence over Luni so as to treat it as its subsidiary or associate and is carrying its equity investment in Luni at FVTPL as at March 31, 2021. Accordingly, as a matter of prudence, the Company has impaired its equity investment of 337.92 Lakhs in Luni to the extent of 100% in the Current Financial Year (P.Y. 50% i.e 168.96 Lakhs). Further, the recoverability of the Company's remaining direct exposure in Luni as at March 31, 2021 (NIL by way of equity, 340.86 Lakhs by way of loan and 59.51 Lakhs by way of trade receivables) (P.Y. 168.96 Lakhs by way of equity, 331.64 Lakhs by way of loan and 59.51 Lakhs by way of trade receivables) would be assessed on an ongoing basis since the CIRP is in process now and the consequent impairment, if any, will be dealt with appropriately in the subsequent financial results.

The credit period towards trade receivables generally ranges between 30 to 60 days. Further the customer retains certain amounts as per the contractual terms which usually fall due on the completion of contract. These retentions are made to protect the customer from the Company failing to adequately complete all or some of its obligations under the contract.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from transfer of goods and services but not billed to customer because the work completed has not met requirements of various milestones as set out in the contract with customers. Upon fulfilling the milestones and acceptance by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables. Contract liabilities include advances received from customers towards mobilisation of resources, purchase of materials and machineries.

Decrease in the trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities as at March 31, 2021 from April 01, 2020 is on account of changes in operations of the Company. Impairment loss recognized on trade receivables have been disclosed in note 7. No Impairment loss has been recognised on contract assets since the management is of the opinion that the contract assets are fully recoverables.

The Weighted Average duration of the defined benefit obligation as at March 31, 2021 is 60 years

Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory frame work which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest Rate Risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk off all in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity pay outs. This may arise due to non-availability of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts.

Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Company to market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrance of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

evaluated the possible impact of known events, upto the date of approval of these financial results, arising from COVID-19 pandemic on the carrying value of the assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and has concluded that no material adjustments are required currently at this stage, except for matters as mentioned in Note nos. 50 and 52 herein below. However, there exists some uncertainty in relation to the future impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and, accordingly, the actual impact in the future may be different from those presently estimated. The Company will continue to monitor any material change to the future economic conditions and consequential impact on the financial results.

NOTE 48. The company has been facing financial crisis since last few financial years and with effect from the previous financial year, the Company has defaulted in payment of its dues to the financial creditors (mainly to banks/financial institutions, hereinafter referred to as "Lenders") and accordingly, the borrowing facilities of the company with the Lenders are irregular as on March 31, 2021. The Company has submitted the Resolution Plan to lenders which is being actively considered by lenders. The lenders have applied various agency to evaluate the Resolution Plan submitted by company.The Management is hopeful that with the support of the lenders and approval of the restructuring proposal, the Company shall be able to generate sufficient cash inflows through profitable operation to discharge its financial obligations. Accordingly, the Board of Directors have decided to prepare the Standalone Financial Statements based on going concern basis.

NOTE 49. The operations of the company have suffered in the last few years mainly due to general economic slowdown as well as various actions and inactions by various Government bodies / authorities, including factors beyond the control of the Company or its management. The major clients / customers of the Company are government bodies wherein the monies of the company are stuck since long and for which the claims of the Company are pending. The situation has been further aggravated with the nonrelease of sanctioned working capital credit facilities including Bank Guarantee limits, alongwith levy of excess margin & charges by some of the Lenders as against the agreed terms of sanction by them. Due to the mismatch in the cash flows, the Company has not been able to service its debts or meet the payment obligations to the Lenders. Hence, the accounts of the Company with the Banks have been classified as irregular and sub – standard. Consequently, w.e.f. November 01, 2019, majority of the Lenders ceased charging interest on loans to the Company, in their books of account, as per RBI's prudential norms, although the Company continued to provide for the interest liability in its books of account upto September 30, 2020, on accrual basis. In the on-going resolution with the Lenders, the Company has proposed issuance of a separate instrument towards the unpaid interest upto the cut-off date which is under active consideration and hence the company is not recognizing any interest liability on the fund based borrowing facilities in the books of accounts as on March 31, 2021. Accordingly, based on the expectation of imminent approval and implementation of the resolution plan, during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company has written back 10,093.03 Lakhs representing liability towards interest expense on its borrowings from Lenders, for the period from November 01, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Further, interest expense of 8,592.57 Lakhs on the said borrowings have not been recognized for the year ended March 31, 2021. Effect of the resolution plan would be provided in the financial statements of the Company as and when the plan is finally approved and implemented by the lenders.

NOTE 50. Other Expenses includes 2439.20 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2021 relating to impairment of certain equity investments and expected credit losses on certain loans advanced by the Company and 1175.81 Lakhs relating to provision made towards certain vendor advances on a conservative basis, as these are old balances and the management feels that the realisability of the same has further been impacted during to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

Operations of the Trading segment had virtually ceased since January, 2020 onwards, primarily because the Company decided to focus on its core activities i.e infrastructure development.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company, at it's meeting held on February 12, 2021, accorded it's consent towards closure of the Trading Segment of the Company w.e.f the financial year ended March 31, 2021.Consequentially, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, in respect of the Trading segment, the Company has written off all the balances appearing in the books of account (non-moving debtors and creditors).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of SPML Infra Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SPML Infra Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Parent") and its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group"), its associates and joint ventures, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except for the effects/possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group, its associates and joint ventures as at March 31, 2021, their consolidated loss (including other comprehensive expense), their consolidated changes in equity and their consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As stated in:

a. Note no. 45 to the consolidated financial statements, interest on YTM basis amounting to 5,560.59 Lakhs (March 31, 2020: 5,143.45 Lakhs) was not provided on Optionally Convertible Debentures ('OCDs') issued to lenders under S4A scheme by the Parent, which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109:Financial Instruments. Had such interest expense been recognized, the finance costs, loss before tax, loss after tax and total comprehensive expense would have been higher by the aforesaid amount for the year ended March 31, 2021. Further, since the issue of OCDs, the total liability not provided for in respect of such interest on YTM basis is 17,287.29 Lakhs as at March 31, 2021(March 31, 2020: 11,726.69 Lakhs). The Auditor's Report for the year ended March 31, 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

  • b. Note no. 54 to the consolidated financial statements, 10,093.03 Lakhs representing liability towards interest expense on the Parent's borrowings from financial creditors, for the period from November 01, 2019 to September 30, 2020, has been written back during the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Further, interest expense of 8592.57 Lakhs on the said borrowings has not been recognized by the Parent for the six month period October 01, 2020 to March 31, 2021. This is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments. Had the aforesaid liability towards interest expense not been written back and the aforesaid interest expense been recognised, the finance costs, loss before tax, loss after tax and total comprehensive expense for the year ended March 31, 2021 would have been higher by ` 18685.60 Lakhs.
  • c. Note no. 46 to the consolidated financial statements, the Parent's trade receivables (net of ECL) and inventories as at March 31, 2021 include 8,017.29 Lakhs and 1,120.38 Lakhs respectively (March 31, 2020: 6,142.27 Lakhs and 1,040.62 Lakhs respectively), relating to certain projects where the claims are presently under arbitration/ litigation proceedings. Pending the ultimate outcome of these matters (fate of which is presently unascertainable), we are unable to comment on the recoverability thereof. The Auditor's Report for the year ended March 31, 2020 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ('SAs') specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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 qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:

  • (i) Note no.48, regarding unavailability of financial statements/ financial information/financial results of 2(two) subsidiaries and 2(two) joint venture companies. According to the information and explanations given to us by the Parent's management, such unavailable financial statements/financial information/financial results are not material to the Group.
  • (ii) Note no.47, regarding uncertainties relating to the recoverability of certain trade & other receivables as at March 31, 2021 and recognition of interest income thereon, arising out of arbitration awards pronounced in favour of the Parent.
  • (iii) Note no.44, regarding write back of ` 2118.18 Lakhs by the Parent in respect of certain credit balances.
  • (iv) Note no. 53 regarding closure of Trading Segment by the Parent.
  • (v) Note no.31 on 'Other Expenses', regarding provision made by the Parent against certain advances to vendors.
  • (vi) Note no.52, which describes the effects of uncertainties relating to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the Group's operations and the evaluation by the Parent's management of its impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(vii) Note no.51, which indicates that the Parent has defaulted in payment of dues to its financial creditors, it is facing working capital constraints and its borrowing facilities are irregular with certain financial creditors as at March 31, 2021. Based on ongoing discussion with such creditors for formulation of a resolution plan and other mitigating factors as mentioned in the aforesaid Note no.51, the Parent's Board of Directors is of the view that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

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

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Assessment of impairment of non-current investments
(reported by us as auditor of the Parent)
The Parent, as at March 31, 2021, had non-current investments
Our audit approach was a combination of test of internal
controls and substantive procedures which included the
following:
of ` 12,798.86 Lakhs Lakhs (prior to impairment provision).
Due to the significance of the carrying amounts of the
non-current investments and the significant management
judgement
involved
in
carrying
out
the
impairment
assessment, this was considered to be a key audit matter.
• Obtained an understanding of the management process
for identification of possible impairment indicators and
process followed by the management for impairment
testing of non-current investments;
• Discussed extensively with management regarding
impairment indicators and evaluated the design and
testing operating effectiveness of controls;
• Assessed the methodology used by the management to
estimate the recoverability of investment and ensured that
it is consistent with applicable accounting standards;
• Verified the appropriateness of the key assumptions
considered by the management/independent valuer as
part of the impairment assessment.
• Evaluated the management's assessment of the
ultimate outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings,
if any, impacting a particular investment, including
analysis of the latest judgment pronounced relating to
such proceedings or any legal opinion obtained by the
management;
• Compared the carrying value of the non-current
investment with the realizable value determined by the
independent valuer to ensure there is no impairment/

provision required to be recognized.

Information other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditors' Report thereon

The Parent Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

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

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

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

The Parent Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term 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 changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its Associates and Joint Ventures in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act/other relevant applicable regulations, for safeguarding the assets of the Group, its associates and joint ventures and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring 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 financial statements by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid.

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

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

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

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

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Group and its associates and joint ventures (covered under the Act) have 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, its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required

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

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

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

Annexure to the Independent Auditors' Report of SPML Infra Limited

[Referred to in paragraph 1(h) under "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section in our Independent Auditors' Report of even date to the members of SPML Infra Ltd. on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021]

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements under Clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of SPML Infra Limited ("the Parent") as of and for the year ended on March 31, 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Parent considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to 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 unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

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

Opinion

126

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on consideration of reporting of other auditors as mentioned in Other Matters paragraph below, the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

Other Matters

Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in so far as it relates to:

  • (i) certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India;
  • (ii) certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, is based solely on the representation provided by the management.

The Company is a public limited company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Its equity shares are listed on two stock exchanges - The BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. in India. The Company is engaged in the business of infrastructure development which interalia includes water management, water infrastructure development, waste water treatment, power generation, transmission and distribution, solid waste management, and other civil infrastructures. Information about the Group Structure is given in Note 43.

The Consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on June 29, 2021.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation and compliance with Ind AS

These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind-AS") consequent to the notification of The Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (the Rules) issued by the MCA. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy.

Basis of measurement

These Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, Freehold Land measured at Fair value and defined benefit plans which have been measured at actuarial valuation as required by relevant Ind AS (refer accounting policies for financial instruments, Property, plant and Equipment and employee benefits).

Functional and presentation currency

These Ind AS Financial Statements are prepared in Indian Rupee which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

2.1 Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, Joint operations and its subsidiaries as at 31 March 2021. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

  • a. Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
  • b. Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
  • c. The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

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

The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the parent company, i.e., year ended on 31 March. When the end of the reporting period of the parent is different from that of any entity, the entity prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial information as of the same date as the financial statements of the parent to enable the parent to consolidate the financial information of the entity.

In term of Ind AS 110- " Consolidated Financial Statements", the financial statements of the Group are consolidated on a line- by- line basis by adding together the book/ fair value of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure, after fully eliminating intra group balances, intra group transactions and any unrealized Profit/ Loss included therein. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

The excess/shortfall of the cost to the Company of its investments in Subsidiaries over its proportionate share in the equity of the respective investee companies as at the date of acquisition of stake is recognised in the Financial Statement as Goodwill /Capital Reserve, as the case may be.

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

  • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
  • Derecognises the carrying amount of any noncontrolling interests
  • Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
  • Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
  • Recognises the fair value of any investment retained
  • Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
  • Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

Investments in associates and Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the Group's share of other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income ("OCI").

When the Group's share of losses in an equity accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

2.2 Investment in Joint Venture

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

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

The statement of profit and loss reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group's OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognizes its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity.

2.3 The Consolidated Financial Statements are based on the audited financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures except in the following cases where figures have been incorporated based on unaudited financial statements as certified by the management:

2.4 Interests in Joint Operations

When the Group has joint control of the arrangement based on contractually determined right to the assets and obligations for liabilities, it recognises such interests as joint operations. Joint control exists when the decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control. In respect of its interests in joint operations, the Group recognises its share in assets, liabilities, income and expenses line-by-line in the standalone financial statements of the entity which is party to such joint arrangement which then becomes part of the consolidated financial statements of the Group when the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are combined for consolidation. Interests in joint operations are included in the segments to which they relate.

2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies

a) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition including attributable interest and finance cost, if any, till the date of acquisition/ installation of the assets less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent expenditure relating to Property, Plant and Equipments capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use and the resultant gain or loss are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Capital work-in-progress, representing expenditure incurred in respect of assets under development and not ready for their intended use, are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, related borrowing cost and other direct expenditure.

On transition to Ind AS, the Group has elected to use the fair value of certain assets on the date of transition and designate the same as deemed cost on the date of transition.

b) Intangible assets and Amortisation

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The Group's intangible assets constitutes software which has finite useful economic lives and these are amortized on a straight line basis, over their useful life of 5 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period

Depreciation/Amortisation

Depreciation on items of Property, Plant & Equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management.

The Group has used the following useful economic lives to provide depreciation on its property, plant & equipments.

Useful economic
life (years)
Buildings (including temporary
structure)
3- 60
Furniture & Fixtures 10
Plant & Equipment 9- 20
Computers 3 - 6
Vehicles 8- 10
Office Equipment 5
Software (Intangible asset) 5

The useful economic life of buildings and plant and equipment as estimated by the management, and supported by independent assessment by professionals, are lower than those indicated in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

The Group's intangible assets constitutes software which has finite useful economic lives and these are amortized on a straight line basis, over their useful life of 5 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

c) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

On transition to Ind AS, The Company has applied Ind AS retrospectively, from the date of their acquisition for Intangible Assets

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

d) Impairment of property plant and equipment and intangible assets

The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on external or internal factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which represents the greater of the net selling price of assets and their 'value in use'. The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rates and risks specific to the asset.

e) Revenue Recognition

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" effective April 1, 2018. Ind AS 115 supersedes Ind AS 11 "Construction Contracts" and Ind AS 18 "Revenue". The Company has applied Ind AS 115 using the modified retrospective method and the cumulative impact of transition to Ind AS 115 has been adjusted against the Retained earnings as at April 1, 2018. Accordingly, the figures of the previous year are not restated under Ind AS 115.

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised good or service to a customer. The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of asset (good or service) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

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

Significant judgments are used in:

    1. Determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time; revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.
    1. Determining the expected losses, which are recognised in the period in which such losses become probable

based on the expected total contract cost as at the reporting date

(I) Revenue from operations

a) Revenue from sale of goods including contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognised as follows:

Revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised when the control of the same is transferred to the customer and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for the exchanged goods. Performance obligations in respect of contracts for sale of traded goods is considered as satisfied at a point in time when the control of the same is transferred to the customer.

b) Revenue from construction/project related activity is recognised as follows:

Contract revenue is recognised over time to the extent of performance obligation satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. Contract revenue is recognised at allocable transaction price which represents the cost of work performed on the contract plus proportionate margin, using the percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the total estimated contract costs. Impairment loss (termed as provision for foreseeable losses in the financial statements) is recognized in profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the contract asset exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the company expects to receive towards remaining performance obligations (after deducting the costs that relate directly to fulfill such remaining performance obligations). In addition, the Company recognises impairment loss (termed as provision for expected credit loss on contract assets in the financial statements) on account of credit risk in respect of a contract asset using expected credit loss model on similar basis as applicable to trade receivables.

For contracts where the aggregate of contract cost incurred to date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses as the case may be) exceeds the progress billing, the surplus is shown as contract asset and termed as "Unbilled Revenue". For contracts where progress billing exceeds the aggregate of contract costs incurred to-date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses, as the case may be), the surplus is shown as contract liability and termed as "Due to customers". Amounts received before the related work is performed are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as contract liability and termed as

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

"Advances from customer". The amounts billed on customer for work performed and are unconditionally due for payment i.e only passage of time is required before payment falls due, are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as trade receivables. The amount of retention money held by the customers pending completion of performance milestone is disclosed as part of contract asset and is reclassified as trade receivables when it becomes due for payment.

c) Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

(II) Other income

  • a) Interest income on investments and loans is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate including interest on investments classified as fair value through profit or loss or fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. Interest receivable on customer dues is recognised as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis provided there is no uncertainty towards its realisation.
  • b) Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably

f) Foreign Currency Translations

In the financial statements of the Group, transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translations of monetary items are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

g) Government Grants

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant / subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate. Grants received against fixed assets are netted off from the cost of the related asset and the depreciation is provided on the net carrying value of those assets.

h) Inventories

Materials, components and stores & spares to be used in contracts are valued at lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Stock of trading goods is valued at lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on First in First out (FIFO) basis.

Net Realizable Value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated cost necessary to make the sale.

Unbilled Revenue (WIP) is valued at net realizable value. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

i) Employee benefits

(A) Short-term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. Such short-term compensated absences are provided for in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on estimates.

(B) Post-employment benefits

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

  • i) Employee benefits in the form of Provident Fund is made to a government administered fund and charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss, when an employee renders the related service. There are no obligations other than the contributions payable to the fund.
  • ii) Gratuity is administered through an approved benefit fund. Gratuity liability is defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method done at the end of each financial year.
  • iii) Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

j) Leases

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are operating lease.

The Company as lessee:

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings or part thereof. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with low-value assets and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense over the term of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability i.e. the present value of future lease payment, adjusted for any lease payment made at or prior to the commencement date of lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentive. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using interest rate implicit in the lease or if not readily determinable using the incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into lease, such incentives are adjusted towards right-of-use-asset.

Lease liability and right-of-use assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet.

k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings measured at Effective Interest rate (EIR).

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.

l) Taxes

Tax expense comprises of current (net of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit entitlement) and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with Indian Income Tax Act. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns Vis a Vis position taken in books of account which are subject to interpretation and creates provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases and accounting bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

For items recognized in OCI or equity, deferred / current tax is also recognized in OCI or equity.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

m) Provisions

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.

If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

n) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. The Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

o) Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss before OCI for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

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

p) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using indirect method as set out in Ind AS -7 "Statement of Cash Flows", whereby profit / (loss) before 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.

q) Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity

Financial Assets:

i) Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
  • those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

ii) Initial Recognition

Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value considering the concept of materiality. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial assets.

iii) Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both from collection of contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Further equity instruments where the company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, to classify as instruments measured at FVTOCI, are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income.

iv) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

assets carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

In accordance with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments, the Group recognizes impairment loss allowance on trade receivables based on historically observed default rates. Impairment loss allowance recognized during the year is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

v) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the company's continuing involvement. In that case, the company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the company has retained.

Financial Liabilities:

i) Classification

The group classifies its financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss, and

  • those measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial liabilities and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

ii) Initial Recognition

Financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition considering the concept of materiality. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are reduced from the fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of financial liabilities.

iii) Subsequent Measurement of Financial Liabilities

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Amortised cost: After initial recognition, interestbearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

iv) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

The Group offsets a financial asset and a financial liability when it currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

r) Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

  • Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
  • Held primarily for the purpose of trading
  • Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

  • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
  • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

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

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

2.6 Significant Accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

The areas involving critical estimates or judgement are:

  • a) Measurement of defined benefit obligations
  • b) Estimated useful life of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment
  • c) Recognition of revenue Contract Revenue is recognized under Percentage of Completion method. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs associated with the construction contracts are recognized as Revenue and Expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the Contract activity.
  • d) Provision for expected credit losses

Trade receivables 58,379.02 76,457.14
Contract assets 98,131.01 1,04,106.81
Contract liabilities 10,800.67 23,929.23

The credit period towards trade receivables generally ranges between 30 to 60 days. Further the customer retains certain amounts as per the contractual terms which usually fall due on the completion of contract. These retentions are made to protect the customer from the Company failing to adequately complete all or some of its obligations under the contract.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from transfer of goods and services but not billed to customer because the work completed has not met requirements of various milestones as set out in the contract with customers. Upon fulfilling the milestones and acceptance by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables. Contract liabilities include advances received from customers towards mobilisation of resources, purchase of materials and machineries.

Decrease in the trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities as at March 31, 2021 from April 01, 2020 is on account of changes in operations of the Company. Impairment loss recognized on trade receivables have been disclosed in note 6. No Impairment loss has been recognised on contract assets since the management is of the opinion that the contract assets are fully recoverables.

(iii) Risk Exposure

Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory frame work which may vary over time. Thus, the Group is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Group to the risk off all in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Group is not able to meet the short-term gratuity pay outs. This may arise due to non-availability of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

NOTE 35: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATION (CONTD..)

Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Group to market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

NOTE 40: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

The Group's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Group's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Group also holds FVTOCI investments and enters into derivative transactions.

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Group's senior management is supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Group's senior management that the Group's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group's policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Group's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

NOTE 40: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (CONTD..)

A. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to the Group.

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost.

The group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits. Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes security deposits, Loans given and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system in place ensure the amounts are within defined limits.

a) Credit Risk Management

1. Credit Risk Rating

The Group assesses and manages credit risk of financial assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.

  • A. Low Credit Risk
  • B. Moderate Credit risk
  • C. High credit risk

The Group provides for Expected Credit Loss based on the following:

Asset Group Description Provision for Expected Credit Loss*
Low Credit Risk Cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances,
investments, loans, trade receivables and other
financial assets
12 month expected credit loss/life
time expected credit loss
Moderate Credit
Risk
Trade receivables, loans and other financial
assets
12 month expected credit loss/life
time expected credit loss
High Credit Risk Trade receivables, loans and other financial
assets
Life time expected credit loss

*Based on business environment in which the Group operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counterparty fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions.

Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or a litigation decided against the Group. The Group continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Group takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.

NOTE 50: In accordance with the provisions of Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013, the Ultimate Holding Company was to spend a sum of ` 88.80 Lakhs towards the CSR activities during the year ended March 31, 2021. During the year, the Company has spent Nil for the aforesaid activities.

NOTE 51: The Parent Company has been facing financial crisis since last few financial years and with effect from the previous financial year, the Parent has defaulted in payment of its dues to the financial creditors (mainly to banks/financial institutions, hereinafter referred to as "Lenders") and accordingly, the borrowing facilities of the Parent Company with the Lenders are irregular as on March 31, 2021. The Parent Company is in the process of formulating a resolution plan with Lenders, which is at an advanced stage of discussions after protracted negotiations and completion of various processes. The proposed resolution plan has been forwarded for the Independent Credit Evaluation (ICE) of External Credit Rating Agencies for obtaining RP4 rating, which is necessary and essential for the approval of the resolution plan. Considering the above progress in implementation of a sustainable resolution plan together with positive future growth outlook, the management is confident of improving the overall financials of the Parent Company. The Parent's financials are further likely to improve with expected realization of various contingent assets in the form of arbitration awards and claims which have been considered as part of the resolution plan. Accordingly, the Parent Company's Board of Directors considers it appropriate to prepare these financial results on a going concern basis.

NOTE 52: The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted regular business operations of the Group due to the lock down restrictions and other emergency measures imposed by the Central and State Governments from time to time, because of interruption in the project activities, supply chain disruption, human resource availability constraints etc. The business operations have recommenced on a lower scale post relaxation of lockdowns as compared to pre-pandemic levels. The management of the Parent Company has evaluated the possible impact of known events, upto the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, arising from COVID-19 pandemic on the carrying value of the assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and has concluded that no material adjustments are required currently at this stage. However, there exists some uncertainty in relation to the future impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Group and, accordingly, the actual impact in the future may be different from those presently estimated. The Parent Company will continue to monitor any material change to the future economic conditions and consequential impact on the financial results.

NOTE 53: Operations of the Parent Company's Trading segment had virtually ceased since January, 2020 onwards, primarily because it decided to focus on its core activities i.e infrastructure development. The management was continuously assessing the realisability of the non-moving debtors/ advances to creditors of the segment due to the impact of COVID-19. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Parent Company, at it's meeting held on February 12, 2021, accorded it's consent towards closure of the Trading Segment of the Company w.e.f the financial year ended March 31, 2021. Consequentially, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, in respect of the Trading segment, the Parent Company has written off all the balances appearing in the books of account (non-moving debtors and creditors).

NOTE 54: The operations of the Group have suffered in the last few years mainly due to general economic slowdown as well as various actions and inactions by various Government bodies / authorities, including factors beyond the control of the Group or its management. The major clients / customers of the Group are government bodies wherein the monies of the Group are stuck since long and for which the claims of the Group are pending. The situation has been further aggravated with the non-release of sanctioned working capital credit facilities including Bank Guarantee limits, alongwith levy of excess margin & charges by some of the Lenders as against the agreed terms of sanction by them. Due to the mismatch in the cash flows, the Parent Company has not been able to service its debts or meet the payment obligations to the Lenders. Hence, the accounts of the Parent Company with the Banks have been classified as irregular and sub – standard. Consequently, w.e.f November 01, 2019, majority of the Lenders ceased charging interest on loans to the Parent Company, in their books of account, as per RBI's prudential norms, although the Parent continued to provide for the interest liability in its books of account upto September 30, 2020, on accrual basis. In the on-going resolution with the Lenders, the Parent Company has proposed issuance of a separate instrument towards the unpaid interest upto the cut-off date which is under active consideration and hence the company is not recognizing any interest liability on the fund based borrowing facilities in the books of accounts as on March 31, 2021. Accordingly, based on the expectation of imminent approval and implementation of the resolution plan, during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Parent Company had written back 10,093.03 Lakhs representing liability towards interest expense on its borrowings from Lenders, for the period from November 01, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Further, interest expense of 3,785.69 Lakhs and ` 4806.88 on the said borrowings have not been recognized for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 respectively. Effect of the resolution plan would be provided in the financial statements of the Parent Company as and when the plan is finally approved and implemented by the lenders. Statutory Auditors report is modified in respect of the aforesaid writeback and non-recognition of interest liability, by way of a qualification. The Limited Review Report for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2020 was similarly modified in respect of this matter.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021

NOTE 55: Other Expenses includes ` 1175.81 Lakhs for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021 relating to provision made by the Parent Company towards certain vendor advances on a conservative basis, as these are old balances and the management feels that the realisability of the same has further been impacted during to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

NOTE 56: Previous years figures have been regrouped/rearranged wherever considered necessary to confirm to the figures presented in the current year.
