This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

43. Fair value measurements

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are considered to be same as their carrying values except for investments in unquoted redeemable cumulative preference shares and put option liability where the fair value has been estimated using the discounted cash flow (''DCF'') model. The valuation requires the management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, the discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management''s estimate of fair value for these unquoted instruments.

45. Financial risk management

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations and to provide support to its operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other assets, and cash and cash equivalents that the company derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTPL investments.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company has constituted an internal Risk Management Committee (''RMC''), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management framework. The focus of the RMC is that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. It is the Company''s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Risk Management Policy is approved by the Board of Directors.

45.1 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk, such as commodity risk. The Company''s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest risk and foreign currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, FVTPL investments and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

a. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

b. Foreign currency risk and sensitivity

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company''s borrowings and loans and investments in foreign subsidiaries.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The Company''s currency exposures in respect of monetary items as at March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 that result in net currency gains and losses in the income statement and equity arise principally from movement in US Dollar and Euro exchange rates.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The Company''s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The other currencies includes Australian Dollar, Great Britain Pound, Danish Kroner etc.

45.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities (primarily loans). The Company consistently monitors the financial health of its customers and sales proceeds are being realised as per the milestone payment terms agreed to minimise the loss due to defaults or insolvency of the customer. Progressive liquidity management is being followed to de-risk the Company from any non-fulfilment of its liabilities to various creditors, statutory obligations, or any stakeholders.

a. Trade receivables

The Company''s exposure to trade receivables is limited due to diversified customer base. The Company consistently monitors progress under its contracts with customers and sales proceeds are being realised as per the milestone payment terms agreed to minimise the loss due to defaults or insolvency of the customer.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively.

b. Financial instruments

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposit with banks, loans given to subsidiaries and other financial assets. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned.

The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2023 and as at March 31, 2022 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.

Refer Note 2.3 (q) for accounting policy on financial instruments.

45.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to that risk where the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirement. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring cash flow forecast and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Reasons for variance

(i) There is no significant change (i.e. change of more than 25% as compared to the immediately previous financial year) in the key financial ratios.

(ii) During the year there was substantial reduction in debt pursuant to implementation of Refinancing Proposal (refer Note 4 and 21), resulting in increase in Other equity and hence change in the ratio.

(iii) Improved margins, profitability and reduction in debt has resulted in improvement of certain ratios.

(iv) Reduced volume and increase in capital employed as a result of retirement of trade payables and current borrowings resulted in reduction in ratio.

(v) The movement in ratio is towards increase in inter-corporate deposit resulting in added interest income as compared to previous year.

(vi) The improvement in ratio is due to exceptional gain.

# Since there was loss during the year and negative net worth, the ratio appears to be positive.

The valuation requires the management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, the discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management''s estimate of fair value for these unquoted instruments.

45. Fair value hierarchy

There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year and earlier comparative periods. The Company''s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the financial year.

The following table provides quantitative disclosure of fair value measurements hierarchy of the Company''s assets and liabilities:

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations and to provide support to its operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTPL investments.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company has constituted an internal Risk Management Committee (''RMC''), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management framework. The focus of the RMC is that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. It is the Company''s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Risk Management Policy is approved by the Board of Directors.

46.1 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk, such as commodity risk. The Company''s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest risk and foreign currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, FVTPL investments and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

a. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

b. Foreign currency risk and sensitivity

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company''s borrowings and loans and investments in foreign subsidiaries.

The Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk as at the end of the financial year expressed in INR Crore are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity

The Company''s currency exposures in respect of monetary items as at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 that result in net currency gains and losses in the income statement and equity arise principally from movement in US Dollar and Euro exchange rates.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The Company''s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The other currencies includes Australian Dollar, Great Britain Pound, Danish Kroner etc.

46.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities (primarily loans). The Company consistently monitors the financial health of its customers and sales proceeds are being realised as per the milestone payment terms agreed to minimise the loss due to defaults or insolvency of the customer. Progressive liquidity management is being followed to de-risk the Company from any non-fulfilment of its liabilities to various creditors, statutory obligations, or any stakeholders.

a. Trade receivables

The Company''s exposure to trade receivables is limited due to diversified customer base. The Company consistently monitors progress under its contracts with customers and sales proceeds are being realised as per the milestone payment terms agreed to minimise the loss due to defaults or insolvency of the customer.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively.

Refer Note 2.3 (q) for accounting policy on financial instruments.

b. Financial instruments

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposit with banks, loans given to subsidiaries and other financial assets. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned.

The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2022 and as at March 31, 2021 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.

The financial statement were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution ofthe directors on May 30, 2018.

2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements ofthe Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (“the Rules”).

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured atfairvalue:

- Derivative financial instruments and

- Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments).

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all values are rounded to the nearest Crore (INR 0,000,000) up to two decimals, except when otherwise indicated.

Financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 were audited by-S. R. Batliboi &Co. LLP, Pune and SNK &Co. Pune.

2.2 Recent accounting developments Standards issued but not yet effective

The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance ofthe Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 and has amended the following standards:

Appendix B to Ind AS 21 Foreign currency transactions and advance considerations:

On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘the MCA’) notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21 Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date ofthe transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition ofthe related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency.

The amendment will come into force from April 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the effect ofthis on the financial statements and the impact is not material.

Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers:

On March 28, 2018, the MCA notified Ind AS 115. The cores principle of new standard is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised good or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cashflows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.

The standard permits two possible methods oftransition:

- Retrospective approach-Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch-up approach).

The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial period beginning from April 1, 2018. The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2018 by using the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly, comparatives for the year ending or ended March 31, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of Ind AS 115 and based on the preliminary assessment there shall be no material impact.

3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s 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.

a. Significant judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policy

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

Guarantee classified as an insurance contract

The Company, together with its three Indian subsidiaries and a joint venture are obligors to the State Bank of India and other Indian lenders and have given security in connection with loan availed by AE Rotor Holding B.V. (‘AERH’), The Netherlands, a step down wholly owned subsidiary ofthe Company. The Company has treated the said guarantee as an insurance contract under Ind AS 104. Please refer to Note 4 for further details.

Operating lease commitments-Company as a lessor

The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions ofthe arrangements, such asthe lease term not constituting a major part ofthe economic life ofthe commercial property and the fair value of the asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

Revenue recognition and presentation

The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria, i.e. whether it has exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the sale of goods or the rendering of services, in order to determine if it is acting as principal or as an agent. When deciding the most appropriate basis for presenting revenue or costs of revenue, both the legal form and substance ofthe agreement between the Company and its business partners are reviewed to determine each party’s respective role in the transaction.

b. Significant 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. Uncertainty about these assumption and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Allowance for trade receivables

Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for expected credit loss. The Company recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs 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. The carrying value of allowance for doubtful debts is Rs 73.49 Crore, Rs 89.91 Crore as of March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 respectively. Refer Note 12

Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination ofthe most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 38.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, future tax planning strategies. The company has unabsorbed depreciation, unabsorbed business loss, unutilised MAT credit and capital loss details which are given in Note 34. The unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward indefinitely. The business loss can be carried forward for 8 years, MAT credit for 15 years and capital loss for 8 years. Majority of business losses will expire in between March 2020 to March 2022, MAT credit in between March 2022 to March 2023 and capital loss in between March 2024 to March 2025. As there are not certain taxable temporary differences or tax planning operations, the Company has not recognised deferred tax assets on conservative basis. Refer Note 34

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation 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 ofthe discount rate, future salary increases 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.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies ofthe post-employment benefit obligation.

The estimates of future salary increases take into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.

Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 37.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded inthe balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. 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 liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer Note 45 for further disclosures.

Intangible asset under development

The Company capitalises intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation ofthe project, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. Refer Note 10. Refer Note 2.3 (i) for the estimated useful life of intangible assets.

Property, plant and equipment

Refer Note 2.3 (g) for the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment. The carrying value of property, plant and equipment has been disclosed in Note 6.

Recompense liability

The Company is in negotiation with CDR lenders for a voluntary exit from CDR scheme. The Company has recognised recompense liability payable to CDR lenders based on management estimate which is derived considering certain scenarios and assumptions in relation to interest rate, waiver in recompense, timing of loan repayment and CDR Exit etc. The amount payable by the Company as recompense is dependent on various factors and also on discussions and negotiations with the CDR lenders. Refer Note 22.

4. SBLC facility and security given to AE Rotor Holding B.V. (‘AERH’)

Suzlon Energy Limited (‘the Company’), together with its three Indian subsidiaries and a joint venture are obligors to the State Bank of India and other Indian lenders under an Onshore SBLC Facility Agreement and have given security on behalf of AE Rotor Holding B.V. (‘AERH’) a step down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company under the Offshore SBLC Facility Agreement for the issuance ofthe stand-by letter of credit by State Bank of India in favour ofthe Security Agent acting on behalf ofthe lenders of AERH. The outstanding amount of loan as at March 31, 2018 is USD 569.40 Million. In accordance with the loan agreement the said loan is repayable in February 2023. The Company has treated the said guarantee as an insurance contract under Ind AS 104 and has assessed that no provision is required thereon as on March 31, 2018.

5. Composite scheme of amalgamation and arrangement

On April 27, 2016, the board of directors ofthe Company had approved a composite scheme which comprised of merger of its three wholly owned subsidiaries, namely, SE Blades Limited (‘SEBL’), SE Electricals Limited (‘SEEL’) and Suzlon Wind International Limited (‘SWIL’) inthe Company, with effect from January 1, 2016 (being the appointed date for merger) and demerger of tower business from wholly owned subsidiary, Suzlon Structures Limited (‘SSL’) (now known as Suzlon Global Services Limited) (‘Scheme’) with the Company, with effect from April 1, 2016 (being the appointed date for demerger).

This Scheme has been approved by the Honourable National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench on May 31, 2017 and the Company had incorporated the “accounting effects” in the financial statement of FY 2016-17, as per the accounting treatment prescribed in the Scheme which is in compliance and accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the Company as ofthe appointed date ofthe Scheme. As per the Scheme, the Company has recognised Goodwill of Rs 1,059.80 Crore which shall be be amortised over five years in accordance with the Scheme. Had the Company applied the accounting treatment in accordance with Ind-AS 103, this accounting treatment would have been different.

Goodwill acquired pursuant through the Scheme has been allocated to the cash generating units based in special economic zone. These CGUs form part ofthe WTG operating segment, for impairment testing. The carrying amount of goodwill of Rs 471.80 Crore as at March 31, 2018 and Rs 643.36 Crore as at March 31, 2017, has been allocated to single CGU.

The Company performed its annual impairment test for years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The Company considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment.

The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial projections approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year is 26.2% (26.2%) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 5% growth rate (5%). The Company is also amortising the goodwill over a period of five full year’s period.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculations

The calculation of value in use for the CGU is most sensitive to the following assumptions:

Discount rates - Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks ofthe underlying assets that have not been incorporated inthe cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances ofthe Company and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (‘WACC’). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived by applying capital asset pricing model and considering equity premium of 7% for Indian market and 5.5% for overseas market. The cost of debt is based on current average borrowing cost that a market participant would expect to pay to obtain its debt financing assuming the target capital structure. Weightage of equity and debt are considered based on the average capital structure of public companies in the wind industry. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data of companies in wind industry. Adjustments to the discount rate are made to factor in the specific amount and timing ofthe future tax flows in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate.

Gross margins - The management expects to earn a stable margin over the five year period. The rate used by management is comparable to other comparable CGUs owned bythe Company.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The implications of the key assumptions for the recoverable amount are discussed below:

- Gross margins - A decreased demand can lead to a decline in gross margin. A decrease in gross margin to 3% would result in impairment.

- Discount rates - A rise in pre-tax discount rate to 8% would result in impairment.

During the financial year 2016-17, in accordance with a Scheme for Arrangement, the Company has recognised goodwill on amalgamation aggregating to Rs 1,059.80 Crore and amortised Rs 171.56 Crore for the year ended March 31, 2018 in the standalone financial statements. This accounting treatment is different from the accounting treatment prescribed under Indian Accounting Standards.

6. Capital work-in-progress

Capital work in progress as at March 31, 2018, Rs 112.06 Crore (previous year: Rs 72.73 Crore), primarily includes building and plant and machineries under construction.

The company’s investment property consist of three commercial properties.

As at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 the fair value of the properties are Rs 183.84 Crore and Rs 81.16 Crore respectively. The fair valuation is derived by management internally.

Under the DCF method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value ofthe income stream associated with the asset.

7. Intangible assets under development

Intangible assets under development as at March 31,2018, Rs 179.82 Crore (previous year: Rs 55.53 Crore), primarily includes design and drawings under development.

Other financial assets include deposits of Rs 3.53 Crore (previousyear: Rs3.53 Crore) from private companies in which director is a director or member.

a) The Company incurs expenditure on development of infrastructure facilities for power evacuation arrangements as per authorisation ofthe State Electricity Boards (‘SEB’) / Nodal agencies in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. The expenditure is reimbursed, on agreed terms, by the SEB/ Nodal agencies. In certain cases, the Company recovers the cost from customers in the ordinary course of business. The cost incurred towards development of infrastructure facility inventory is reduced by the reimbursements received from SEB/Nodal agencies and the net amount is shown as ‘Infrastructure Development Asset’ under other financial assets. The excess of cost incurred towards the infrastructure facilities net of reimbursement received from SEB/Nodal agencies/customers is charged to statement of profit and loss as infrastructure development expenses. Other asset include Rs 250.06 Crore (previousyear: Rs 278.53 Crore)

For details of financial assets given as security to lenders refer Note 21(b).

a. The Company intends to dispose one of its commercial property given on lease within next 12 months. The property was previously used as its corporate office for carrying out the business. No impairment loss was recognised on reclassification of the property as held for sale as the Company expects that the fair value (estimated based on the recent market prices of similar properties in similar locations) less costs to sell is higher than the carrying amount.

b. The Company has reclassified its investments in two subsidiaries and ten joint ventures, who are in the business of generation of electricity through solar energy, as “held for sale”. These investments has been measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. The disposal group does not constitute a separate major component of the Company and therefore has not been classified as discontinued operations. As per CompaniesAct 2013, these entities are still subsidiaries ofthe companyas at March 31, 2018.

b. Terms/rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equityshares having a par value of Rs 2 each. Each holder of equityshares is entitled to one vote per share except for the underlying depository shares held against the Global Depository Receipts (‘GDRs’).

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position ofthe related party and the market in which the related party operates.

12. Fair value measurements

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

- Non-current investments

The fair value of investments in unquoted redeemable cumulative preference shares has been estimated using the discounted cash flow (‘DCF’) model. The valuation requires the management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, the discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities ofthe various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management’s estimate of fair valueforthese unquoted instruments.

- Current investments

The Company’s current investments consist of investment in units of mutual funds and unquoted investments in compulsory convertible debentures. The fair value of investments in mutual funds is derived from the NAV of the respective units in the active market at the measurement date. Investment in debentures have been classified as equity instruments measured at cost as per Ind AS 27.

13. Fair value hierarchy

There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year and earlier comparative periods. The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end ofthe reporting period.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets:

14. Financial risk management

The Company’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 Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTPL investments and enters into derivative transactions.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company has constituted an internal Risk Management Committee (‘RMC’), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management framework. The focus ofthe RMC is that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Risk Management Policy is approved bythe Board ofDirectors.

a. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk, such as commodity risk. The Company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest risk and foreign currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, FVTPL investments and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Recompense liability payable by the Company to CDR lenders could be affected due to changes in market interest rate (refer Note 3(b)).

ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cashflows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company’s borrowings and loans and investments in foreign subsidiaries.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk as at the end ofthe reporting period expressed in INR are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity

The Company’s currency exposures in respect of monetary items at March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 that result in net currency gains and losses in the income statement and equity arise principally from movement in US Dollar and Euro exchange rates.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The other currencies includes Australian Dollar, Great Britain Pound, Danish Kroner etc.

*Effect on profit before tax is calculated without considering the impact of accumulation and amortisation of exchange differences on long term foreign currency monetary items to FCMITDA.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities (primarily loans). The Company consistently monitors the financial health of its customers and sales proceeds are being realised as per the milestone payment terms agreed to minimise the loss due to defaults or insolvency ofthe customer. Progressive liquidity management is being followed to de-riskthe Company from any non-fulfilment of its liabilities to various creditors, statutory obligations, or any stakeholders.

i) Trade receivables

The Company’s exposure to trade receivables is limited due to diversified customer base. The Company consistently monitors progress under its contracts with customers and sales proceeds are being realised as per the milestone payment terms agreed to minimise the loss due to defaults or insolvency of the customer.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively.

Refer Note 2.3(p) for accounting policy on financial instruments.

ii) Financial instruments

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposit with banks, investment in mutual funds, loans given to subsidiaries and other financial assets. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2018 and as at March 31, 2017 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to that risk where the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirement. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring cash flow forecast and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.

The table below summarises the contractual maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payment:

15. Capital management

For the purpose ofthe Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise shareholder value.

The capital structure ofthe Company is based on the management’s judgement of its strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence. The calculation ofthe capital for the purpose of capital management is as below.

16. The employee benefits expense and other expenses includes expenses of Rs 87.28 Crore (previous year: Rs 105.14 Crore) pertaining to research and development.

17. Deferral of exchange differences

The Company has, consequent to the notification issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on December 29, 2011 giving an option to the companies to amortise the exchange differences pertaining to long term foreign currency monetary items up to March 31, 2020 (from March 31, 2012 earlier), adopted the said option given under paragraph 46A of Accounting Standard 11. Accordingly, the Company has revised the amortisation period for such items to the maturity ofthe long term foreign currency monetary items (all before March 31, 2020).

Net foreign exchange loss aggregating Rs 4.40 Crore (previous year: gain of Rs 26.24 Crore) on long term foreign currency monetary items have been adjusted in the foreign currency monetary item translation difference account during the year. Further, foreign exchange loss aggregating Rs 27.86 Crore (previous year: Rs 45.86 Crore) have been amortised during the year.

2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (“the Rules”).

For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP or ‘IGAAP’).

2.2 Recent accounting developments Standards issued but not yet effective

The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2017 and has amended the following standards:

Amendment to Ind AS 7: Statement of cash flows

The amendments to Ind AS 7 requires an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. On initial application of the amendment, entities are not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2017. Application of this amendments will not have any recognition and measurement impact. However, it will require additional disclosure in the financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 102: Share-based payment

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes. Since the Company does not have cash settled awards or awards with net settlement features, this amendment does not have any effect on the financial statements of the Company.

3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s 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.

a. Significant judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policy

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

Financial guarantee

The Company, its three Indian subsidiaries and a jointly controlled entity have given stand by letter of credit which has been recognised as financial guarantee by the Company. The Company believes that the relevant overseas subsidiary (in whose favour SBLC has been issued) will able to refinance the obligation and meet its financial obligations. Please refer to Note 6forfurtherdetails.

Operating lease commitments- Company as a lessor

The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the commercial property and the fair value of the asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

Revenue recognition and presentation

The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria, i.e. whether it has exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the sale of goods or the rendering of services, in order to determine if it is acting as principal or as an agent. When deciding the most appropriate basis for presenting revenue or costs of revenue, both the legal form and substance of the agreement between the Company and its business partners are reviewed to determine each party’s respective role in the transaction.

b. Significant 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. Uncertainty about these assumption and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Allowance for trade receivables

Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for expected credit loss. The Company recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs 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. The carrying value of allowance for doubtful debts is Rs 89.91 Crore, Rs 62.69 Crore and Rs 56.11 Crore as of March 31, 2017, March 31,2016 and April 1,2015 respectively. Refer Note 14

Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 39.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, future tax planning strategies. The company has unabsorbed depreciation, unabsorbed business loss, unutilised MAT credit and capital loss details which are given in Note 35. The unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward indefinitely. The business loss can be carried forward for 8 years, MAT credit for 15 years and capital loss for 8 years. Majority of business losses will expire in between March 2020 to March 2022, MAT credit in between March 2022 to March 2023 and capital loss in between March 2024 to March 2025. As there are not certain taxable temporary differences or tax planning operations, the Company has not recognised deferred tax assets on conservative basis. Refer Note 35

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation 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 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.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.

The estimates of future salary increases take into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 38.

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. 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 liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer Note 49 for further disclosures.

Intangible asset under development

The Company capitalises intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits.

Refer Note 2.3 i for the estimated useful life of intangible assets. The carrying value of intangible assets has been disclosed in Note 9.

Property, plant and equipment

Refer Note 2.3 g for the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment. The carrying value of property, plant and equipment has been disclosed in Note 8.

Recompense liability

The Company is in negotiation with CDR lenders for a voluntary exit from CDR scheme. The Company has recognised recompense liability payable to CDR lenders based on reasonable estimate which is derived considering possibility certain scenarios and assumptions in relation to interest rate, waiver in recompense, timing of loan repayment and CDR exit etc. The amount payable by the Company as recompense is dependent on various factors and also on discussions and negotiations with the CDR lenders. Refer Note 23.

4. First-time adoption of Ind AS

These financial statements, for the year ended March 31,2017, are the first the Company has prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP or ‘IGAAP’).

Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for periods ending on March 31,2017, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended March 31,2016, as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Company’s opening balance sheet is prepared as at April 1, 2015, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP (‘IGAAP’) financial statements, including the balance sheet as at April 1, 2015 and the financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31,2016.

Exemptions applied

Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:

- Since there is no change in the functional currency, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property as recognised in its IGAAP financials as deemed cost at the transition date.

- Ind AS 102 share-based payment has not been applied to equity instruments in share-based payment transactions that vested before April 1,2015.

- Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. However, the Company has used Ind AS 101 exemption and assessed all arrangements based for embedded leases based on conditions in place as at the date of transition.

- The Company has applied the requirements for de-recognition of financial instruments, as required in Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments prospectively for financial transactions occurring on or after April 1,2015, the date of transition to Ind AS.

- The Company has elected to continue with the policy of accounting for exchange differences arising from translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items recognised in the financial statements prepared as per IGAAP for the year ended March 31, 2016. Accordingly, exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items (existing as at March 31, 2016) are accumulated in the “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.

- The Company has elected the policy of accounting for investment in equity of associate, jointly controlled entities and its subsidiaries at previous GAPP carrying amount.

- The company has applied classification and measurement of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances that existed on the date of transition to Ind AS.

Estimates

The estimates at April 1,2015 and at March 31,2016 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with IGAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies):

The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with Ind AS reflect conditions at April 1, 2015, the date of transition to Ind AS and as of March 31,2016.

Notes to the reconciliation of equity as at April 1,2015 and March 31,2016 and profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2016:

a) Investments

Under IGAAP, investments in mutual funds were classified as current investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, the Company has designated such instruments as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The resulting fair value changes of these investments have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended March 31,2016.

b) Trade receivables

Under IGAAP, the Company has created provision for impairment of receivables only in respect of specific amount for incurred losses. Under Ind AS, impairment allowance has been determined based on expected credit loss model (‘ECL’). Due to ECL model, the Company impaired its trade receivable which has been adjusted against retained earnings.

c) Defined benefit obligations

Both under IGAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognised costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under IGAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, 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 OCI.

d) Share-based payments

Under IGAAP, the Company recognised only the intrinsic value for the employee stock option plan as an expense. Ind AS requires the fair value of the share options to be determined using an appropriate pricing model recognised over the vesting period. Share options which were granted before and still vesting at April 1, 2015, have been recognised as a separate component of equity in share option outstanding account against retained earnings at April 1,2015.

e) Borrowings

Under IGAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are amortised upfront and charged to profit or loss for the period. Under Ind AS, transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount of financial liability and charged to profit or loss using the effective interest method.

f) Provisions

Under I GAAP, the Company has accounted for provisions, including long-term provision, at the undiscounted amount. In contrast, Ind AS 37 requires that where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of provision should be the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The discount rate(s) should not reflect risks for which future cash flow estimates have been adjusted. Ind AS 37 also provides that where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognised as borrowing cost.

g) Other comprehensive income

Under IGAAP, the Company has not presented other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled IGAAP profit or loss to profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, IGAAP profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

h) Statement of cash flows

The transition from IGAAP to Ind AS has not had a material impact on the statement of cash flows.

i) Other financial assets

Under I GAAP, interest free security deposit given is initially measured at the transaction price and no consideration is given to the fair value at the time of initial measurement. Under Ind AS, interest free security deposit is to be initially measured at fair value. As at the date of transition, the interest free security deposit has been recognised at fair value based on the facts and circumstances which existed at the date of initial measurement by giving corresponding effect to retained earnings for the period from initial measurement to the date of transition and to other current assets (pre-paid expense) for remaining period of deposit post the date of transition.

j) Deferred revenue

Under IGAAP, the Company used to recognise the provision for free O&M given as part of WTG supply contract on dispatch of WTG. Under Ind AS, free O&M given in excess of 2 years is recognised as cost and revenue over the period of service which exceeds 2 years. Transitional adjustment in regard to free O&M as at the date of transition have been made by debiting retained earnings with a corresponding credit to the deferred income.

k) Foreign currency convertible bond (‘FCCB’)

The FCCB has been classified as compound instrument. This instrument has been split between equity and liability by primarily valuing the liability portion without equity conversion options. The balance between instrument value and liability component has been the value of equity conversion options. On the date of transition the amount of FCMITDA has been recomputed under Ind AS. The difference in the value as a result has been transferred to retained earnings.

l) Recompense liability

The Company is in negotiation with CDR lenders for a voluntary exit from CDR scheme. The Company has recognised recompense liability payable to CDR lenders based on reasonable estimate which is derived considering possibility certain scenarios and assumptions in relation to interest rate, waiver in recompense, timing of loan repayment and CDR exit etc. The amount payable by the Company as recompense is dependent on various factors and also on discussions and negotiations with the CDR lenders. The Company has recognised the present value of estimated recompense liability on the date of transition and the unwinding cost has been recognised as part of finance cost in subsequent periods.

m) Compulsory convertible debentures (‘CCD’) and redeemable cumulative preference shares (‘RCPS’)

CCD:

The Company has invested in compulsory convertible debentures in jointly controlled entities. Under I GAAP, the Company has carried these investment at cost. Under Ind AS, as per the terms of the debentures, such instruments have been classified as financial asset at amortised cost. Ind AS requires financial assets to be measured initially at fair value. The resulting fair value changes have been recognised as investment in equity component and the interest element is recognised as finance income using effective rate of interest as at March 31,2016.

RCPS:

The Company has invested in redeemable cumulative preference shares. Under IGAAP, the Company has carried these investment at cost. Under Ind AS, as per the terms of the preference shares, such instruments have been classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. Ind AS requires financial assets to be measured initially at fair value. The resulting fair value changes have been recognised as equity component and the interest element is recognised as finance income using effective rate of interest as at March 31,2016.

n) Forward contracts

Under I GAAP, the premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contract is amortised and recognised as an expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts, foreign currency monetary items, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the exchange rate changes. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such forward exchange contract is also recognised as income or expense for the period.

Under Ind AS, these contracts have been classified as FVTPL instruments and corresponding fair value is recorded. Accordingly, the reversal of IGAAP accounting and recording of MTM on these instruments has led to an increase inequity as at March 31,2016. Also, the same has resulted into increase in profit for the year ended March 31,2016.

o) Restructuring cost

The Company had restructured its outstanding loans under the Corporate Debt Restructuring (‘CDR’) Scheme approved by CDR Empowered Group. In connection of this restructuring, the Group incurred certain costs such as consultancy fees, legal fees etc. Under IGAAP these costs were debited to prepaid expenses and were amortised on a quarterly basis. Thus, on transition date, the transaction costs which were recorded as a prepaid asset under previous GAAP has been derecognised as it does not meet the asset recognition criteria under Ind AS.

p) Reclassification of loans and advances and other assets

Loans and advances under IGAAP has been primarily reclassified as Loans (Non-current: March 31,2016-Rs 645.94 Crore, April 1,2015 - Rs 1,472.34Crore. Current: March 31,2016-Rs 1.348.65, April 1,2015- Rs 3,431.44).

Other assets under IGAAP has been primarily reclassified to other financial assets as non-current bank balance (Noncurrent: March 31, 2016 - Rs 224.02 Crore, April 1, 2015 - Rs 96.95 Crore), as receivable towards sale of OMS business undertaking (Current: March 31, 2016- Rs 1,246.57 Crore, April 1, 2015 - Rs 1,836.50 Crore) and as receivable towards share application money (Current: March 31,2016-Rs Nil, April 1,2015-Rs 1,800 Crore)

Other liabilities has been primarily reclassified to other financial liabilities as current maturity of borrowing (Current: March 31, 2016 - Rs 225.38 Crore, April 1, 2015 - Rs 1,926.61 Crore) and other liabilities as advance from customers (Current: March 31,2016-Rs 936.58 Crore, April 1,2015- Rs 731.37 Crore)

5. Updated books after approval of Scheme

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31,2017 were earlier approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 19, 2017 and reported upon by the statutory auditors vide their report dated May 19, 2017. The said accounts did not include the effect of the composite scheme of amalgamation and arrangement for merger of SE Blades Limited (‘SEBL’), SE Electricals Limited (‘SEEL’), Suzlon Wind International Limited (‘SWIL’), [SEBL, SEEL and SWIL together referred to as ‘merged entities’] and de-merger of tower business of Suzlon Structures Limited (now known as Suzlon Global Services Limited) (‘tower business’) (‘Scheme’), into the Company, which were then pending for approval of the Honourable National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench (‘NCLT’), which the Company has since received on May 31, 2017. As a result, the Scheme has become effective on June 1,2017, and hence financial information has been incorporated in the books of the Company from the appointed date (January 1,2016 in case of merged entities and April 1,2016 in case of de-merger of tower business). The Board of Directors have decided to update the accounts of the Company for the year ended March 31,2017 to incorporate the effect of the Scheme and accordingly these financial statements have been updated forgiving consequential effect to the Scheme.

6. SBLC facility and security given to AERot or Holding B.V.(‘AERH’)

Suzlon Energy Limited and its identified domestic subsidiaries (collectively ‘the Group’) and Suzlon Generators Limited, ajointly controlled entity (‘SGL’) are obligors under the Onshore Stand by letter of credit (‘SBLC’) Facility Agreement and have provided security under the ‘Offshore SBLC Facility Agreement in connections with a SBLC issued by State Bank of India of USD 655 Million for securing the credit facility and covered bonds availed by AE Rotor Holding B.V. (AERH), a step-down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Group has classified the Onshore facility availed amounting to USD 538 million as a financial guarantee contract. AERH has a borrowing of USD 626 million as at March 31,2017, which is due for repayment in March 2018, as per original schedule. The Group has obtained No Objection Certificate from the SBLC lenders as well as approval from Reserve Bank of India for extension of SBLC from April 2018 to April 2023. The Group believes that based on the strength of extended SBLC, the outstanding borrowing of AERH can be extended/refinanced by the existing lenders or by new lenders. AERH and its subsidiaries are engaged in dealing of WTGs in international markets and the cash-flows generated from these business activities will be used for serving the finance cost as well as towards part repayment of outstanding debt of AERH. The ability of AERH to repay the outstanding debt is primarily dependent on generation of cash-flows from business operations in overseas market. The Company management believes that AERH has reasonable business forecast over the next few years and estimates that AERH will be able to refinance the outstanding debt, if required and meet the debt obligations as and when they fall due and hence they believe that the financial guarantee obligation of USD 538 million is not required to be recognised in financial statements and it has been disclosed as contingent liability.

7. Composite scheme of amalgamation and arrangement

On April 27, 2016, the board of directors of the Company had approved a composite scheme which comprised of merger of its three wholly owned subsidiaries, namely, SE Blades Limited (‘SEBL’), SE Electricals Limited (‘SEEL’) and Suzlon Wind International Limited (‘SWIL’) in the Company, with effect from January 1, 2016 (being the appointed date for merger) and demerger of tower business from wholly owned subsidiary, Suzlon Structures Limited (‘SSL’) (now known as Suzlon Global Services Limited) (‘Scheme’) with the Company, with effect from April 1,2016 (being the appointed date for demerger).

This Scheme has been approved by the Honourable National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench on May 31,2017 and the Company has incorporated the accounting effects in its books of accounts as per the accounting treatment prescribed in the Scheme which is in compliance and accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the Company as of the appointed date of the Scheme. Accounting standards currently applicable to the Company are Ind AS. Had the Company applied the accounting treatment in accordance with Ind AS 103, Business Combination the following would have been the accounting treatment:

(a) The assets and liabilities of transferor companies would have been taken over at carrying amount in the books of transferor company and not at fair value;

(b) Retained earnings appearing in the books of transferor companies would have been aggregated with the books of the Company. The total amount of retained earnings would have been Rs (11,236.30) Crore.

(c) No new assets/ liabilities would have been recognised and no adjustments would have been made to reflect fair values of assets or liabilities of the transferor companies. As a result of acquisition of transferor companies, the Company has recognised Goodwill of Rs 1,059.80 Crore which shall be amortised over five years in accordance with the Scheme.

(d) Financial statements in respect of prior period would have been restated as if business combination had occurred from the transition date. The Company has accounted for the business combination of transferor companies as well as demerged business from the appointed dates defined in the Scheme.

(e) Business combinations which are effected after the balance sheet date but before approval of financial statements, the business combinations are not incorporated in the financial statements but only disclosures required by Ind AS 10 Events after the reporting period are made. In current case, the Company has recorded the business combination on the appointed date defined in the Scheme.

(f) The Company has not recognised deferred tax asset or liabilities arising out of assets acquired or liabilities assumed.

Goodwill acquired pursuant through the Scheme has been allocated to the cash generating units based in special economic zone. These CGUs form part of the WTG operating segment, for impairment testing. The carrying amount of goodwill of Rs 643.36 Crore as at March 31,2017 and Rs 814.92 Crore as at March 31,2016, has been allocated to single CGU.

The Company performed its annual impairment test for years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment.

The recoverable amount of the CGU as at March 31,2017 is Rs 1,236.40 Crores (March 31,2016- Rs 923.20 Crores) and it has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial projections approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year is 26.2% (March 31,2016:25.3%) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 5% growth rate (March 31,2016: 5%). It was concluded that the carrying value of the net assets of CGU exceeded the value in use as at March 31,2016. As a result of this analysis, the management has recognised an impairment charge of Rs 191.89 Crore in addition to amortisation of Rs 52.99 Crore during the year ended March 31,2016 against goodwill of Rs 1,059.80 Crore, determined as on the appointed date. The impairment charge is recorded in the statement of profit and loss under depreciation and amortisation expense. The Company is also amortising the goodwill over a period of five full year’s period.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculations

The calculation of value in use for the CGU is most sensitive to the following assumptions:

Discount rates - Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Company and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived by applying capital asset pricing model and considering equity premium of 7% for Indian market and 5.5% for overseas market. The cost of debt is based on current average borrowing cost that a market participant would expect to pay to obtain its debt financing assuming the target capital structure. Weight age of equity and debt are considered based on the average capital structure of public companies in the wind industry. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data of companies in wind industry. Adjustments to the discount rate are made to factor in the specific amount and timing of the future tax flows in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate.

Gross margins - The management expects to earn a stable margin over the five year period. The rate used by management is comparable to other comparable CGUs owned by the Company.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The implications of the key assumptions for the recoverable amount are discussed below:

- Gross margins-A decreased demand can lead to a decline in gross margin. A decrease in gross margin to 3% would result in impairment.

- Discount rates-A rise in pre-tax discount rate to 8% would result in impairment.

8. Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress as at March 31, 2017, Rs 72.73 Crore (March 31, 2016: Rs 176.99 Crore; April 1 2015: Rs 19.83 Crore), primarily includes building and plant and machineries under construction.

The Company has classified certain office premises given on lease as investment property. For investment property existing as on April 1, 2015, i.e., its date of transition to Ind AS, the Company has used IGAAP carrying value as deemed costs. For details of investment property given as security to lenders refer Note 22(b).

The company’s investment property consist of two commercial properties.

As at March 31, 2016 and March 31,2017 the fair value of the properties are Rs 73.89 Crore and Rs 81.16 Crore respectively. The fair valuation is derived by management internally.

Description of valuation techniques used and key inputs to valuation on investment properties:

Under the DCF method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the asset.

9. Intangible assets under development

Intangible assets underdevelopment as at March 31, 2017, Rs 55.53 Crore (March 31, 2016 : Rs 1.55 Crore; April 1 2015 : Rs Nil Crore), primarily includes design and drawings under development.

As per the restructuring, the Company converted certain portion of interest accrued to FITL - I and FITL – II.

As per the MRA executed by the Borrowers and the CDR lenders during the financial year ended March 31, 2013 as well as the provisions of the Master Circular on Corporate Debt Restructuring issued by the Reserve Bank of India, give a right to the CDR Lenders to get a recompense of their waivers and sacrifices made as part of the CDR Proposal. The recompense payable by the borrowers is contingent on various factors including improved performance of the borrowers and many other conditions, the outcome of which currently is materially uncertain and hence the proportionate amount payable as recompense has been treated as a contingent liability. Further, as mentioned in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company has an obligation to issue equity shares in lieu of the sacrifice for the first 3 years from cut-off date, if demanded by lenders. In case of lenders who have exercised this right the value of equity shares issued has been shown as equity share capital/share application money received, and this cost is amortised over the period of sacrifice.

The Trustees for the 2014 and 2016 FCCB holders have not issued any acceleration notice in respect of the 2014 and 2016 FCCBs and accordingly USD 175 million (Rs 1,048.51 Crore) has been classified as non-current liability. The Company also has overdue amounts payable to creditors and certain lenders as at March 31, 2014.

On May 03, 2014, the Company entered into a standstill agreement with an adhoc committee of FCCB holders for a cashless exchange of its existing October 2012 FCCB''s, 2014 FCCB''s and 2016 FCCB''s.

However this agreement is subject to various approvals, including approval of Reserve Bank of India. The Company is in the process of restructuring of FCCBs. The Company is also taking various other steps to reduce costs, improve efficiencies to make its operations profitable and to arrange sufficient funds for its operations. Pending the final outcome of restructuring, though there exists material uncertainty these financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and no adjustments have been made to the carrying values or classification of assets and liabilities.

The Company applies intrinsic value- based method of accounting for determining compensation cost for Scheme I, Scheme II, Scheme III and Scheme IV. Following are the details of the amounts charged to the profit and loss account, rate per option, and cost per option calculated based on Black-Scholes Model.

If the Cost per option was calculated based on the Black-Scholes model, the loss after tax would have been higher by Rs. 18.15 crore (Rs. 1.55 crore).

Consequently the basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share after factoring the above impact would be as follows:

2. Post employment benefits

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five or more years of service is eligible for gratuity. Gratuity is computed based on 15 days salary, based on last drawn salary for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.

* The contribution made by the employer during the year was Rs. 2.01 crore (Rs. 2.48 crore), of which Rs. 2.01 crore (Rs. 2.36 crore) was paid towards approved fund and Nil (Rs. 0.12 crore) was towards OYRGTA premium. The Company expects to contribute Rs. 2.01 crore (Rs. 2.36 crore) to its defined benefit gratuity plan in 2010-11. The actual return on plan assets during the year was Rs. 0.61 crore (Rs. 0.28 crore).

The estimated future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account the effect of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. The overall expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the market prices prevailing as on balance sheet date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.
