SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

i. Basis of Preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been
prepared to comply in all material respects with the Indian
Accounting Standards (""Ind AS"") as prescribed under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') read
with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as
amended from time to time.

The financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention, with the exception of certain
financial assets and liabilities which have been measured
at fair value, on an accrual basis of accounting.

The Company’s financial statements are reported in
Indian Rupees, which is also the Company’s functional
currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs
('' 00,000) and decimal thereof, except when otherwise
indicated.

The statement of cash flow has been prepared under the
indirect method as set out in Indian Accounting Standard
(Ind AS 7) statement of cash flows.

ii. Operating Cycle for Current and Non-Current
classification

All the assets and liabilities have been classified as
current or non-current, wherever applicable, as per the
operating cycle of the Company as per the guidance
set out in Schedule III to the Act. Operating cycle for
the business activities of the Company covers the
duration of the project/contract/service including the
defect liability period, wherever applicable, and extends
up to the realisation of receivables (including retention
monies) within the credit period normally applicable to
the respective project.

iii. Accounting Estimates

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

iv. Key accounting estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key
sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year, are described below. The Company
based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future
developments, however, may change due to market
changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the
control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in
the financial statements in the period in which changes
are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements.

a) Contract Revenue
Refer note 2(xvi)(a)

b) Valuation of Investment in/Loans to
Subsidiaries/Joint ventures

The Company has performed valuation for its
investments in equity of certain subsidiaries and
joint ventures for assessing whether there is any
impairment in the fair value. When the fair value of
investments in subsidiaries cannot be measured
based on quoted prices in active markets, their
fair value is measured using valuation techniques
including the discounted cash flow model. Similar
assessment is carried for exposure of the nature of
loans and interest receivable thereon. The inputs to
these models are taken from observable markets
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a
degree of judgement is required in establishing
fair values. Judgements include considerations of
inputs such as expected earnings in future years,
liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in
assumptions about these factors could affect the
reported fair value of these investments.

c) Deferred Tax Assets

I n assessing the realisability of deferred income
tax assets, management considers whether some
portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will
not be realised. The ultimate realisation of deferred
income tax assets is dependent upon the generation

of future taxable income during the periods in which
the temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversals
of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future
taxable income and tax planning strategies in making
this assessment. Based on the level of historical
taxable income and projections for future taxable
income over the periods in which the deferred
income tax assets are deductible, management
believes that the Company will realise the benefits
of those deductible differences. The amount of the
deferred income tax assets considered realisable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income during the carry
forward period are reduced.

d) Defined Benefit Plans

The cost and present value of the gratuity obligation
and compensated absences are determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves
making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include
the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to
the complexities involved in the valuation and its
long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is
highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.
All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

e) Leases

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

f) Useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
and Intangible Assets

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

g) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

A provision is recognised when the Company has
a present obligation as result of a past event and
it is probable that the outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the

current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not
recognised in the financial statements. Contingent
assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic
benefits is probable.

v. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, at fair
value at each balance sheet date. (Refer note 36)

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

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- I n the absence of a principal market, In the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be
accessible by the Company.

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

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes
into account a market participant''s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and
best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data is available to measure fair value, maximising the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the
use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for
which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial
statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from
prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the
financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between
levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.

At each reporting date, the Management analyses the
movements in the values of assets and liabilities which
are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the
Company’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the
Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest
valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation
computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

The Management also compares the change in the fair
value of each asset and liability with relevant external
sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company
has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset
or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as
explained above. This note summarises accounting policy
for fair value.

Other fair value related disclosures are given in the
relevant notes.

- Disclosures for valuation methods, significant
estimates and assumptions (notes 35, 38, 39 and 40).

- Financial instruments (including those carried at
amortised cost) (notes 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21,
and 22).

- Quantitative disclosure of fair value measurement
hierarchy (note 36).

vi. Property, Plant and Equipment (Tangible Assets)

Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost of
acquisition, including expenditure directly attributable
to the acquisition or construction of asset to bring it in
working condition for intended use, if any, till the date of
acquisition/installation of the assets less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

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

vii. Capital Work-in-progress

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

viii. Intangible Assets

I ntangible assets are stated at cost, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably, less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets mainly comprise of license fees and
implementation cost for software and other application
software acquired for in-house use.

ix. Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciation is provided for property, plant and equipment
so as to expense the cost less residual value over their
estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Intangible
assets are amortised from the date they are available
for use, over their estimated useful lives. The estimated
useful lives are as mentioned below:

Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis, from
the date on which asset is ready to use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing
proceeds with carrying amount. These are accounted in the
Statement of Profit and Loss under Other income and Other
expenses.

x. Financial Instruments

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

a) Financial Assets

(i) Initial Recognition

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

(ii) Subsequent Measurement

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

- Financial Assets at Amortised Cost

Financial assets are subsequently
measured at amortised cost if these
financial assets are held within a business
model with an objective to hold these
assets in order to collect contractual cash
flows and the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding. Interest income
from these financial assets is included
in finance income using the effective
interest rate (“EIR”) method. Impairment
gains or losses arising on these assets are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

- Financial Assets Measured at Fair
Value

Financial assets are measured at fair value
through Other Comprehensive Income
(‘OCI’) if these financial assets are held
within a business model with an objective
to hold these assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows or to sell these
financial assets and the contractual terms

of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding. Movements in the
carrying amount are taken through OCI,
except for the recognition of impairment
gains or losses, interest revenue and
foreign exchange gains and losses which
are recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.

Financial asset not measured at amortised cost
or at fair value through OCI is carried at FVPL.

(iii) Impairment of Financial Assets

I n accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company
applies the Expected Credit Loss (“”ECL””)
model for measurement and recognition of
impairment loss on financial assets and credit
risk exposures.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’
for recognition of impairment loss allowance
on trade receivables. Simplified approach does
not require the Company to track changes in
credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment
loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each
reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other
financial assets and risk exposure, the
Company determines that whether there has
been a significant increase in the credit risk
since initial recognition. If credit risk has not
increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to
provide for impairment loss. However, if credit
risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality
of the instrument improves such that there is no
longer a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, then the entity reverts to
recognising impairment loss allowance based
on 12-month ECL.

ECL is the difference between all contractual
cash flows that are due to the Company in
accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all
cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses
resulting from all possible default events over
the expected life of a financial instrument. The
12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL
which results from default events that are possible
within 12 months after the reporting date.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)
during the period is recognised as income/
expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) De-recognition of Financial Assets

The Company de-recognises a financial asset
only when the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the
financial asset and substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership of the asset to another
entity.

I f the Company neither transfers nor retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership and continues to control the
transferred asset, the Company recognises its
retained interest in the assets and an associated
liability for amounts it may have to pay.

I f the Company retains substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred
financial asset, the Company continues
to recognise the financial asset and also
recognises a collateralised borrowing for the
proceeds received.

b) Equity Instruments and Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued
by the Company are classified according to the
substance of the contractual arrangements entered
into and the definitions of a financial liability and an
equity instrument.

(i) Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that
evidences a residual interest in the assets of
the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Equity instruments which are issued for cash
are recorded at the proceeds received, net of
direct issue costs. Equity instruments which are
issued for consideration other than cash are
recorded at fair value of the equity instrument.

(ii) Financial Liabilities

- Initial Recognition

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial
recognition, as financial liabilities at FVPL,
loans and borrowings and payables as
appropriate. All financial liabilities are
recognised initially at fair value and, in
the case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable
transaction costs.

- Subsequent Measurement

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

- Financial Liabilities at FVPL

Financial liabilities at FVPL include
financial liabilities held for trading and
financial liabilities designated upon initial

recognition as at FVPL. Financial liabilities
are classified as held for trading if they are
incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in
the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities
held for trading are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by
the Company are those contracts that
require a payment to be made to reimburse
the holder for a loss it incurs because the
specified debtor fails to make a payment
when due in accordance with the terms
of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee
contracts are recognised initially as a
liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the
issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently,
the liability is measured at the higher of
the amount of loss allowance determined
as per impairment requirements of Ind
AS 109 and the amount recognised less
cumulative amortisation. Amortisation
is recognised as finance income in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

- Financial Liabilities at Amortised Cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing
loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the
EIR method. Any difference between the
proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the
settlement or redemption of borrowings is
recognised over the term of the borrowings
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

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

- Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial
instruments i.e. foreign exchange forward
and options contracts to manage its
exposure to foreign exchange risks. Such
derivative financial instruments are initially
recognised at fair value on the date on
which a derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently re-measured
at fair value. The Company uses hedging
instruments that are governed by the
policies of the Company.

Hedge Accounting

The Company uses foreign currency
forward and options contracts to hedge
its foreign currency risks which are initially
recognised at fair value on the date a
derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently remeasured at their fair
value with changes in fair value recognised
in the Standalone Statement of Profit and
Loss in the period when they arise.

- De-recognition of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are de-recognised when
the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or expired. When
an existing financial liability is replaced
by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms
of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification
is treated as de-recognition of the original
liability and recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.

c) Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and
the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset
the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis to realise the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.

xi. Employee Benefits

a) Defined Contribution Plan

Contributions to defined contribution schemes
such as superannuation scheme, employees’ state
insurance, labour welfare are charged as an expense
based on the amount of contribution required to be
made as and when services are rendered by the
employees. The above benefits are classified as
Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company
has no further obligations beyond the monthly
contributions.

b) Defined Benefit Plan

I n respect of certain employees, provident fund
contributions are made to a trust administered by the
Company. The interest rate payable to the members
of the trust shall not be lower than the statutory rate
of interest declared by Central Government under
Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be
made good by the Company. The contribution paid
or payable including the interest shortfall, if any, is
recognised as an expense in the period in which
services are rendered by the employee. Accordingly

the Provident Fund is treated as a defined benefit
plan. Further, the pattern of investments for
investible funds is as prescribed by the Government.
Accordingly, other related disclosures in respect of
provident fund have not been made.

The Company also provides for gratuity which
is a defined benefit plan, the liabilities of which is
determined based on valuations, as at the balance
sheet date, made by an independent actuary using
the projected unit credit method. Re-measurement,
comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect
of gratuity are recognised in the OCI, in the period
in which they occur. Re-measurement recognised
in OCI are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit
and Loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost
is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in
the year of plan amendment or curtailment.

c) Leave Entitlement and Compensated Absences

Accumulated leave which is expected to be utilised
within next twelve months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. Leave entitlement, other than
short-term compensated absences, are provided
based on a actuarial valuation, similar to that of
gratuity benefit. Re-measurement, comprising
of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of leave
entitlement are recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss in the period in which they occur.

d) Short-term Benefits

Short-term employee benefits such as salaries,
wages, performance incentives etc. are recognised
as expenses at the undiscounted amounts in
the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period in
which the related service is rendered. Expenses on
non-accumulating compensated absences is
recognised in the period in which the absences
occur.

xii. Inventories

a) Construction materials are valued at lower of cost
and net realisable value. Cost is determined on
a weighted average method and comprises the
purchase price including duties and taxes (other than
those subsequently recoverable by the Company
from the taxing authorities). Net Realisable value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated cost necessary to make
the sale.

b) Spares that are of regular use are charged to the
statement of profit and loss as and when consumed.

xiii. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet
comprises of cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three month or less,
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value.

xiv. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker
regularly monitors and reviews the operating result of
the whole Company as one segment of “Construction”.
Thus, as defined in Ind AS 108 “Operating Segments”,
the Company’s entire business falls under this one
operational segment and hence the necessary information
has already been disclosed in the Balance Sheet and the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

xv. Foreign Exchange Translation of Foreign Projects
and Accounting of Foreign Exchange Transaction

a) Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded
in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign
currency amount the exchange rate between the
reporting currency and the foreign currency at the
date of the transaction.

b) Conversion

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are reported using the closing rate
at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are
carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a
foreign currency are reported using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction.

c) Treatment of Exchange Difference

Exchange differences arising on settlement/
restatement of foreign currency monetary assets
and liabilities of the Company are recognised as
income or expense in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

xvi. Revenue Recognition
a) Contract Revenue

The Company derives revenues primarily from
providing construction services.

Revenue from construction services, where the
performance obligations are satisfied over time and
where there is no uncertainty as to measurement
or collectability of consideration, is recognised
as per the percentage-of-completion method.
The percentage-of-completion of a contract is
determined by the proportion that contract costs
incurred for work performed up to the reporting date
bear to the estimated total contract costs. When
there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate
collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until
such uncertainty is resolved.

Contract revenue earned in excess of certification
are classified as contract assets (which we refer
as unbilled work-in-progress) while certification in
excess of contract revenue are classified as contract
liabilities (which we refer to as due to customer).

Advance payments received from contractee for
which no services are rendered are presented as
‘Advance from contractee’. Impairment loss is
recognised on account of credit risk in respect of a
contract asset using expected credit loss model on
similar basis as applicable to trade receivables.

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

Contract modifications are accounted for when
additions, deletions or changes are approved
either to the contract scope or contract price. The
accounting for modifications of contracts involves
assessing whether the services added to an existing
contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at
the standalone selling price. Services added that
are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative
catch up basis, while those that are distinct are
accounted for prospectively, either as a separate
contract, if the additional services are priced at the
standalone selling price, or as a termination of the
existing contract and creation of a new contract if
not priced at the standalone selling price.

The Company presents revenues net of indirect
taxes in its Statement of Profit and Loss.

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

b) Share of profit and loss from unincorporated
entities in the nature of Subsidiary, Joint
Venture or Joint Operations

I n case of Unincorporated Entities in the nature of
subsidiary/joint venture, share of profit and loss
are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss

as and when the right to receive the profit share or
obligation to settle the loss is established.

I n case of Unincorporated Entities in the nature
of a Joint Operation; the Company recognises
its direct right to the assets, liabilities, contingent
liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations
and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been
incorporated in the financial statements under the
appropriate headings.

xvii. Other Income

a) Interest Income

I nterest income is accrued on a time proportion
basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and
the applicable Effective Interest Rate (EIR).

b) Other Income

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

xviii. Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises of current tax expense and
the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during
the period. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate
to items that are recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and
deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.

a. Current Taxes

Current income tax is recognised based on the
estimated tax liability computed after taking credit
for allowances and exemptions in accordance
with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current income tax
assets and liabilities are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used
to compute the amount are those that are enacted
or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

b. Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax is determined by applying the Balance
Sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognised for all deductible temporary differences
between the financial statements’ carrying amount
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates
that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet
date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period
that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax
assets are only recognised to the extent that it is

probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the temporary differences can be
utilised. Such assets are reviewed at each Balance
Sheet date to reassess realisation.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when
there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets and liabilities. Current tax assets and tax
liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle
on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.

xix. Leases

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

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

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

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

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

borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental
borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole.

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

xx. Impairment of Non-financial Aassets

As at each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses
whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset
may be impaired and also whether there is an indication
of reversal of impairment loss recognised in the previous
periods. If any indication exists, or when annual
impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company
determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss
is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is determined:

- I n case of an individual asset, at the higher of the
assets’ fair value less cost to sell and value in use;
and

- I n case of cash generating unit (a group of assets
that generates identified, independent cash flows),
at the higher of cash generating unit’s fair value less
cost to sell and value in use.

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

I mpairment losses of continuing operations, including
impairment on inventories, are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties
previously revalued with the revaluation taken to OCI. For
such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up
to the amount of any previous revaluation.

When the Company considers that there are no
realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant
amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss
subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, then the previously recognised impairment
loss is reversed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.

xxi. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the
equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during
the period. The weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period and for all periods
presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares,
other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that

have changed the number of equity shares outstanding,
without a corresponding change in resources.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the
net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity
shareholders of the Company and weighted average
number of equity shares considered for deriving basic
earnings per equity share and also the weighted average
number of equity shares that could have been issued
upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the
proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually
issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the
outstanding equity shares).

In respect of contract executed in Integrated Joint Ventures under profit sharing arrangement (assessed as AOP under Income Tax laws), the services rendered to the Joint Ventures is accounted as income on accrual basis. The share of profit / loss is accounted based on the audited financial statements of Joint Ventures and is reflected as Investments.

1.16 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

The Company expects to contribute Rs. 75.00 lakhs to gratuity in the next year (2010 - Rs. 75.00 lakhs)

The amount of defined benefit obligation, plan assets, the deficit thereof and the experience adjustments on plan asset: and plan liabilities for the current and previous four years are as follows:

The information on the allocation of the gratuity fund into major asset classes and the expected return on each major class is not readily available. However, the gratuity fund is invested in a Group Gratuity policy invested with the Life Insurance Corporation and Birla Sunlife Insurance. The fair value of plan assets with Life Insurance Corporation and Birla Sunlife Insurance at December 31, 2011 are Rs. 0.06 lakhs (2010 - Rs. 21.24 lakhs) and Rs. 1,081.08 lakhs (2010 - Rs. 1,064.16 lakhs) respectively. The management understands that the assets in these portfolios are well diversified and as such the long term return thereon is expected to be higher than the rate of return on Government Bonds.

The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the market prices prevailing on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.

In respect of provident funds, the Guidance issued by the Accounting Standards Board ('ASB') of ICAI on implementing AS 15 states that provident funds trust is set up by employers, which requires interest shortfall to be met by the employer, needs to be treated as a defined benefit plan. The Company's provident fund does not have any existing deficit or interest shortfall. In regard to any future obligation arising due to interest shortfall (i.e. government interest to be paid on provident fund scheme exceeds rate of interest earned on investment), pending the issuance of the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company's actuary has expressed his inability to reliably measure the same.

The Company's expense for the superannuation, a defined contribution plan aggregates Rs.233.43 lakhs during the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - Rs.191.61 lakhs)

The Company's expense for the provident fund aggregates Rs. 613.80 lakhs during the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - Rs. 488.72 lakhs)

Although these estimates are based upon managements best knowledge of current events and actions, actual result could defer from these estimates.

1.3 Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease period of 5 years, which is lower of the period of the lease or their estimated useful lives as determined by management.

1.4 Impairment

i. The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/ external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value and the risk specific to the assets.

ii. Depreciation on impaired assets is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.

iii. A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.

- Unbilled work-in-progress valued at lower of cost and net realisable value upto the stage of completion. Cost includes direct material, labour cost and appropriate overheads; and

- Amounts recoverable in respect of the price and other escalation, bonus claims adjudication and variation in contract work required for performance of the contract to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue.

In addition, if it is expected that the contract will make a loss, the estimated loss is provided for in the books of account.
