1.1 Summary of significant accounting policies:
a) Investment in joint operations:
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Company has interest in certain joint operations, and accordingly, it recognizes in relation to its interest in joint operations, its:
- Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly
- Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly
- Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation
- Share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation
- Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the joint operations are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint operation.
b) Current versus non-current classification:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
- Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
c) Foreign currencies:
The Companyâs standalone financial statements are presented in H, which is also its functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the Company uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
d) Revenue recognition:
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
Based on the Educational Material on Ind AS 18 issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the Company has assumed that recovery of excise duty flows to the Company on its own account. This is for the reason that it is a liability of the manufacturer which forms part of the cost of production, irrespective of whether the goods are sold or not. Since the recovery of excise duty flows to the Company on its own account, revenue includes excise duty.
However, sales tax/ value added tax (VAT) / Goods and Service Tax (GST) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
The specific recognition criteria described below are also considered before revenue is recognized.
Revenue from construction activity:
Construction revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the construction activity at the balance sheet date, as measured by the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. Where the outcome of the construction cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized to the extent of the construction costs incurred if it is probable that they will be recoverable. When the outcome of the contract is ascertained reliably, contract revenue is recognized at cost of work performed on the contract plus proportionate margin, using the percentage of completion method.
The estimated outcome of a contract is considered reliable when all the following conditions are satisfied:
i) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably,
ii) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Company,
iii) The stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably, and
iv) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the contract can be measured reliably
Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the total estimated contract costs. For this purpose, total estimated contract costs are ascertained on the basis of actual costs incurred and costs to be incurred for completion of contracts in progress, which is arrived at by the management based on current technical data, forecasts and estimate of expenditure to be incurred in future including contingencies, which being technical matters have been relied upon by the auditors. Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly aligned with the jobs are distributed over the various contracts on a pro-rata basis. Revisions in projected profit or loss arising from change in estimates are reflected in accounting period in which such revisions can be anticipated.
Variations in contract work are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and are capable of reliably measured.
Revenue from the Companyâs entitlement to price variances on input costs subject to compliance with certain terms and conditions as per terms of contracts are recognized when no significant uncertainties exist regarding their ultimate collection.
Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly aligned with the jobs, are distributed over the various contracts on a pro-rata basis.
Sale of goods:
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. The Company does not provide any warranties or maintenance contracts to its customers.
Interest income:
For all debt instruments measured either at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividends:
Revenue is recognized when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
e) Taxes:
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. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:
- When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
- In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Current and Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current and Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognized for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the concerned company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The company reviews the âMAT credit entitlementâ asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
f) Property, plant and equipment:
The Company regards the previous GAAP carrying value for all its property, plant and equipment as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., April 01, 2016.
Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
- Building 15 to 20 years
- Plant and equipment 5 to 15 years
The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical expert, management estimate and related contracts with the customers, depreciates steel shuttering and certain items of building over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
g) Intangible assets:
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life (three years) and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
h) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the borrowings and exchange differences to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year they occur.
i) Lease:
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Company as a lessee:
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease.
Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the statement of profit and loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Companyâs general policy on the borrowing costs (See note 2.2h). Contingent rentals are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
j) Inventories:
a. Closing stock of stores and spares and raw materials (except for those relating to construction activities) are valued at lower of cost computed onâ Weighted Averageâ basis and Net realizable value. However, materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost includes expenses incidental to procurement thereof.
b. Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost (computed on weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs in respect of finished goods include direct material, labour and an appropriate portion of overhead costs and excise duty.
c. Construction work in progress is valued at cost.
d. Stores, Components, etc. and construction materials at sites to be used in contracts are valued at cost which is ascertained on âWeighted Averageâ basis.
Net Realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
k) Impairment of non-financial assets:
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or cash-generating unitâs (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
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 of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the assetâs recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
l) Provisions:
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
m) Retirement and other employee benefits:
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
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 recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:
- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
- The date that the Company recognizes related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income.
Other long term employee benefits in the nature of long term paid absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation made at the end of each financial year using the projected unit credit method.
n) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management.
o) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holder by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
p) Financial instruments:
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets: Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement:
Debt instruments at amortized cost:
A âdebt instrumentâ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
- Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss.
Equity investments:
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI), then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
Investment in Subsidiaries:
The Companyâs Investment in Subsidiaries are accounted at Cost in accordance with Ind AS 27.
De-recognition:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Companyâs balance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a âpass-throughâ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Companyâs continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Impairment of financial assets:
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
- Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
- Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18 (referred to as âcontractual revenue receivablesâ in these financial statements)
The Company follows âsimplified approachâ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., 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 also considers the amount and timing of payment. Provision is made under ECL even if the Company expects to be paid in full but later than when contractually due.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head âother expensesâ in the P&L.
Financial liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement:
Loans and borrowings:
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized 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 amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
De- recognition:
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de- recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
q) Accounting for Investment in Joint Venture:
The Groupâs investments in its associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Groupâs share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually.
r) Fair value measurement:
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participantâs 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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
a) Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
b) Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
c) Level 3 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
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.
s) Measurement of EBITDA:
The Company presents EBITDA in the statement of profit or loss; this is not specifically required by Ind AS 1. The terms EBITDA are not defined in Ind AS. Ind AS complaint Schedule III allows companies to present Line items, sub-line items and sub-totals shall be presented as an addition or substitution on the face of the Financial Statements when such presentation is relevant to an understanding of the companyâs financial position or performance or to cater to industry/sector-specific disclosure requirements or when required for compliance with the amendments to the Companies Act or under the Indian Accounting Standards.
Accordingly, the Company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. In its measurement, the Company does not include depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, finance costs and tax expense.
t) Segment Reporting:
Identification of Segments:
The Company has identified that its business segments are the primary segments. The Companyâs business are organized and managed separately according to the nature of activity, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the company operate.
Inter Segment transfers:
The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices.
Allocation of common costs:
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on case to case basis applying the ratio, appropriate to each relevant case. Unallocated items include income and expenses relating to the enterprise as a whole and not allocable to segment on a reasonable basis.
Segment Policies:
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with those of the Company.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
GPT Infraprojects Limited (the Company) is a listed public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Its shares are listed in two stock exchanges in India. The Company is primarily engaged in construction activities for infrastructure projects. Besides, the Company is also engaged in concrete sleeper manufacturing business.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). The Company has prepared these financial statements to comply in all material respects with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules 2016. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year, except for the change in accounting policy explained below.
b) Change in accounting policy Accounting for Proposed Dividend
As per the requirements of pre-revised AS 4, the Company used to create a liability for dividend proposed / declared after the balance sheet date if dividend related to periods covered by the financial statements. Going forward, as per AS 4 (R), the Company cannot create provision for dividend proposed / declared after the balance sheet date unless a statute requires otherwise. Rather, company will need to disclose the same in the financial statements.
Accordingly, the company has disclosed dividend proposed by board of directors after the balance sheet date.
Had the company continued with creation of provision for proposed dividend, its surplus in the statement of profit and loss would have been lower by Rs, 262.56 lacs and short term provision would have been higher by Rs, 262.56 lacs (including dividend distribution tax of Rs, 44.41 lacs).
c) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period.

in changes related to depreciation of fixed assets. Unless stated
otherwise, the impact mentioned for the current year is likely to hold
good for future years also.
Till the year ended 31st March 2014, depreciation rates prescribed
under Schedule XIV were treated as minimum rates and the Company was
not allowed to charge depreciation at lower rates even if such lower
rates were justified by the estimated useful life of the asset.
Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful lives for fixed
assets which, in many cases, are different from lives prescribed under
the erstwhile Schedule XIV However, Schedule II allows companies to use
higher/ lower useful lives and residual values if such useful lives and
residual values can be technically supported and justification for
difference is disclosed in the financial statements.
Considering the applicability of Schedule II, the management has
re-estimated useful lives and residual values of all its fixed assets,
accordingly, depreciation charge for the current year is higher by Rs.
160.23 lacs as compared to previous year, further, based on
transitional provision provided in Note 7(b) of Schedule II, an amount
of Rs. 13.91 lacs (net of deferred tax of Rs. 6.22 lacs) has been
adjusted with retained earnings. The management believes that
depreciation rates currently used fairly reflect its estimate of the
useful lives and residual values of fixed assets.
c) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in future periods.
d) Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The Cost of
acquisition comprises purchase price inclusive of duties (net of CENVAT
/ VAT), taxes, directly attributable incidental expenses, erection /
commissioning expenses, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are
met, etc. incurred upto the date the asset is ready for its intended
use.
Machinery Spares which can be used only in connection with a particular
item of Fixed Assets and whose use, as per the technical assessment, is
expected to be irregular are capitalized and depreciated
proportionately over the residual life of the respective assets. Gain
or losses arising from derecognition of tangible fixed assets are
measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the assets are derecognized.
From accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April, 2011, the
Company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation /
settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to
the acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and
depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset.
e) Intangible Fixed Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated
amortization and impairment losses, if any. The Cost of acquisition
comprises purchase price inclusive of duties (net of CENVAT / VAT),
taxes, etc.
Computer softwares not being part of the hardware operating system are
assessed to have a useful life of 3 years and are capitalized as
intangible fixed assets.
Gain or losses arising from derecognition of intangible fixed assets
are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the statement
of profit and loss when the assets are derecognized.
f) Depreciation & Amortization
Tangible Fixed Assets
i. The classification of Plant and Machinery into continuous and
non-continuous process is done as per technical certification and
depreciation thereon is provided accordingly.
ii. Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line
basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by
the management which is in line with the useful lives as specified in
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, except for the following class
of assets where management has estimated useful life based on
management's technical evaluation:
- Steel Shutterings are depreciated over a period of five years from
the year of addition. No specific useful life for such class of assets
has been indicated in Schedule II.
iii. Depreciation on Insurance Spares / standby equipments is provided
over the useful lives of the respective mother assets.
iv. Depreciation on fixed assets added / disposed off during the year,
is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition /
disposal.
Intangible Fixed Assets
Computer softwares capitalized as intangible fixed assets are amortized
on a straight line basis over their useful life of 3 years.
g) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
to determine 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 which is
the greater of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In
assessing the 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 of money and
risks specific to the assets.
h) Leases
Finance Leases, which effectively transfer to the Company,
substantially, all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership
of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and
present value of the minimum lease payment at the inception of lease
term and disclosed as leased assets.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they
are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction
or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period they occur.
j) Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not
more than a year from the date on which such investments are made are
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified
as long-term investments. Long term investments are considered at cost,
unless there is an "other than temporary" decline in value thereof, in
which case, adequate provision for diminution is made in the financial
statements. Current Investments are carried at lower of cost and fair
value on an individual investment basis.
k) Inventories
(i) Closing stock of stores and spares and raw materials (except for
those relating to construction activities) are valued at lower of cost
computed on 'Weighted Average' basis and net realizable value. However,
materials and other supplies held for use in the production of
inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in
which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above
cost. Cost includes expenses incidental to procurement thereof.
(ii) Finished goods and work in progress (except for those relating to
construction activities) are valued at the lower of cost (computed on
weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs in respect of
finished goods include direct material, labour and an appropriate
portion of overhead costs and excise duty.
(iii) Construction work in progress is valued at cost. However, in case
of contracts where losses are likely to occur, the stock is considered
at net realizable value. Costs include materials, labour and an
appropriate portion of construction overheads.
(iv) Stores, components, etc. and construction materials at sites to be
used in contracts are valued at cost which is ascertained on 'Weighted
Average' basis.
(v) Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
l) Revenue recognition
(i) Construction contracts
Revenue on construction contracts is recognized on percentage
completion method based on the stage of completion of the contract. The
stage of completion is determined as a proportion that contract costs
incurred for work performed upto the reporting date bears to the
estimated total costs. When it is probable that the total contract cost
will exceed the total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized
immediately. For this purpose, total contract costs are ascertained on
the basis of actual costs incurred and costs to be incurred for
completion of contracts in progress, which is arrived at by the
management based on current technical data, forecasts and estimate of
expenditure to be incurred in future including contingencies, which
being technical matters have been relied upon by the auditors.
Revisions in projected profit or loss arising from change in estimates
are reflected in each accounting period which, however, cannot be
disclosed separately in the financial statements as the effect thereof
cannot be accurately determined.
Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly
aligned with the jobs, are distributed over the various contracts on a
pro-rata basis.
(ii) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on passage of title thereof to
the customers, which generally coincides with delivery. Sales are net
of taxes, returns, claims, trade discounts etc. Revenue is recognized
when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods get
passed to the buyer.
(iii) Income from Services
Revenues from operation and maintenance contracts are recognized on
rendering of services as per the terms of contract.
(iv) Interest
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
m) Foreign currency translations
(i) Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are 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.
(ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction and non- monetary items which are
carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a
foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed
when the values were determined.
(iii) Exchange Differences
Exchange differences, in respect of accounting periods commencing from
1st April 2011, arising on reporting of long-term foreign currency
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial
statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a
depreciable capital asset, are added to or deducted from the cost of
the asset and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, and
in other cases, such exchange differences are accumulated in a "foreign
Currency Monetary Items Translation Difference Account" and amortised
over the balance period of such long-term asset / liability.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement or reporting of monetary
items, not covered above, at rates different from those at which they
were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous
financial statements, are recognized as income or expenses in the
period in which they arise.
(iv) Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation
purposes.
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortized as expenses or income over the life of the
respective contracts. Exchange differences on such contracts, except
the contracts which are long term foreign currency monetary items, are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the
exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or
renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense
for the year. Any gain/loss arising on forward contracts which are
long term foreign currency monetary items is recognized in accordance
with paragraph 2 (m) (iii) above.
(v) Derivatives Instruments:
As per ICAI announcement, accounting for derivative contracts, other
than those covered under AS-11, are marked to market on a portfolio
basis, and the net loss after considering the offsetting effect on the
underlying hedge item is charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Net gains are ignored.
(vi) Translation of Integral foreign operations
The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are
translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been
those of the Company itself.
(vii) Translation of Non-integral foreign operations
Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that, in substance,
forms part of the Company's net investment in a non- integral foreign
operations are accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve
until the disposal of the net investment. On the disposal of such net
investment, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences which
have been deferred and which relate to that investment is recognized as
income or as expenses in the same period in which the gain or loss on
disposal is recognized.
n) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund is a defined
contribution scheme. The Company recognizes contribution payable to
provident fund scheme as an expenditure on rendering of related service
by employees. There are no obligations other than the contribution
payable to the fund. If the contribution payable to the scheme for
service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution
already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a
liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the
contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services
received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an
asset.
Gratuity (funded) being defined benefit obligation and long term
compensated absences (unfunded) are provided for based on actuarial
valuation made at the end of each financial year using the projected
unit credit method.
Actuarial gain and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as income or expenses.
o) Income Taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Current income
tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax
authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences
between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal
of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based
on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at
the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets
can be realized. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed
depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax assets are
recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing
evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realized against future
taxable profits.
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date. The Company writes down the carrying amount of the
deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax
assets can be realized. Any such write down is reversed to the extent
it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
p) Employee Stock Compensation Cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
q) Segment Reporting
(i) Identification of Segments
The Company has identified that its business segments are the primary
segments. The Company's businesses are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of activity, with each segment representing a
strategic business unit that offers different products and serves
different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on
the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
(ii) Inter segment Transfers
The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as
if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market
prices.
(iii) Allocation of common costs
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on case to case
basis applying the ratio, appropriate to each relevant case. Revenue
and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not
allocable to segment on a reasonable basis, have been included under
the head "Unallocated - Common".
(iv) Segment Policies
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with
those of the Company.
r) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
s) Provisions
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation
as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions made in terms of Accounting Standard 29 are not discounted
to their present value and are determined based on management estimates
required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and appropriately adjusted to
reflect the current management estimates.
Provision for warranties cost is based on the claims received upto the
year end as well as the management estimates of further liability to be
incurred in this regard during the warranty period.
t) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents as indicated in the Cash FIow Statement
comprises cash at bank and on hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
u) Accounting for interests in joint ventures
In respect of joint ventures entered into with other parties in the
form of 'integrated joint ventures', the accounting treatment is done
as below in terms of Accounting Standard 27 notified by the Companies
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) :
(i) Company's share in profits and losses is accounted for on
determination of profits or losses by the Joint Ventures;
(ii) Investments are carried at cost, net of the Company's share of
profits or losses, recognized in the accounts.
v) Measurement of EBIDTA
As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956, the Company has elected to present earnings before
interest, tax expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA)
as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and
loss. The Company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit from
continuing operations. In its measurement, the Company does not include
depreciation and amortization expenses, interest and tax expenses.
w) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
consolidated financial statements.

which are accounted for on acceptance / actual receipt basis. The
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements
are consistent with those used in the previous year.
b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the
management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in future periods.

item of Fixed Assets and whose use, as per the technical
assessment, is expected to be irregular are capitalized and depreciated
proportionately over the residual life of the respective
assets.
Gain or losses arising from derecognition of tangible fixed assets are
measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the assets are derecognized. From accounting
periods commencing on or after 1st April, 2011, the company adjusts

depreciable capital asset, are added to or deducted from the cost of
the asset and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, and
in other cases, such exchange differences are accumulated in a "Foreign
Currency Monetary Items Translation Difference Account" and amortised
over the balance period of such long-term asset / liability.

certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations
where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax
losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual
certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax
assets can be realized against future taxable profits.

deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax
assets can be realized. Any such write down is reversed to the extent
it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

except for insurance and other claims which are accounted for on
acceptance / actual receipt basis. The accounting policies adopted in
the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those used
in the previous year.
b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the
management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in future periods.
c) Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The Cost of
acquisition comprises of purchase price inclusive of duties (net of
CENVAT / VAT), taxes, directly attributable incidental expenses,
erection / commissioning expenses, borrowing cost if capitalization
criteria are met, etc. incurred upto the date the asset is ready for
its intended use.
Machinery Spares which can be used only in connection with a particular
item of Fixed Assets and whose use, as per the technical assessment, is
expected to be irregular are capitalized and depreciated
proportionately over the residual life of the respective assets.
Gain or losses arising from derecognition of tangible fixed assets are
measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the assets are derecognized. From accounting
periods commencing on or after 1st April, 2011, the company adjusts
exchange differences arising on translation/ settlement of long-term
foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a
depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and depreciates the same
over the remaining life of the asset.
d) Intangible Fixed Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated
amortization and impairment losses, if any. The Cost of acquisition
comprises of purchase price inclusive of duties (net of CENVAT / VAT),
taxes, etc.
Computer softwares not being part of the hardware operating system are
assessed to have a useful life of 3 years and are capitalized as
intangible fixed assets.
Gain or losses arising from derecognition of intangible fixed assets
are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the statement
of profit and loss when the assets are derecognized.
e) Depreciation & Amortization
Tangible Fixed Assets
i. The classification of Plant and Machinery into continuous and
non-continuous process is done as per technical certification and
depreciation thereon is provided accordingly.
ii. Depreciation on tangible fixed assets except as mentioned below,

manner prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 or at
rates determined based on the useful life of
Assets estimated by the management, whichever is higher.
 Tangible fixed assets acquired up to March 31, 1991 and tangible
fixed assets of the Wind Power Unit are depreciated at the rates
specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 using written down
value method.
 Steel Shutterings are depreciated over a period of five years on
straight line method from the year of addition.

iv. Depreciation on fixed assets added / disposed off during the year,
is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition /
disposal.
Intangible Fixed Assets
i. Computer softwares capitalized as intangible fixed assets are
amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life of 3 years.
f) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
to determine 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 which is
the greater of the asset''s net selling price and value in use. In
assessing the 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 of money and
risks specific to the assets.
g) Leases
Finance Leases, which effectively transfer to the Company,
substantially, all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership
of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and
present value of the minimum lease payment at the inception of lease
term and disclosed as leased assets.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.

incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they
are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period they occur.
i) Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not
more than a year from the date on which such investments are made are
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified
as long-term investments. Long term investments are considered at cost,
unless there is an "other than temporary decline in value thereof, in
which case, adequate provision for diminution is made in the financial
statements. Current Investments are carried at lower of cost and fair
value on an individual investment basis.
j) Inventories

those relating to construction activities) are valued at lower of cost
computed on ÂWeighted Average'' basis and net realizable value. However,
materials and other supplies held for use in the production of
inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in
which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above
cost. Cost includes expenses incidental to procurement thereof.
(ii) Finished goods and work in progress (except for those relating to
construction activities) are valued at the lower of cost computed on
weighted average basis and net realizable value. Costs in respect of
finished goods include direct material, labour and an appropriate
portion of overhead costs and excise duty.
(iii) Construction work in progress is valued at cost. However, in case
of contracts where losses are likely to occur, the stock is considered
at net realizable value. Costs include materials, labour and an
appropriate portion of construction overheads.
(iv) Stores, components, etc. and construction materials at sites to be
used in contracts are valued at cost which is ascertained on ÂWeighted
Average'' basis.
(v) Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
k) Revenue recognition
(i) Construction contracts
Revenue on construction contracts is recognized on percentage
completion method based on the stage of completion of the contract. The
stage of completion is determined as a proportion that contract costs
incurred for work performed upto the reporting date bears to the
estimated total costs. When it is probable that the total contract cost
will exceed the total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized
immediately. For this purpose, total contract costs are ascertained on
the basis of actual costs incurred and costs to be incurred for
completion of contracts in progress, which is arrived at by the
management based on current technical data, forecasts and estimate of
expenditure to be incurred in future including contingencies, which
being technical matters have been relied upon by the auditors.
Revisions in projected profit or loss arising from change in estimates
are reflected in each accounting period which, however, cannot be
disclosed separately in the financial statements as the effect thereof
cannot be accurately determined.
Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly
aligned with the jobs, are distributed over the various contracts on a
pro-rata basis.
(ii) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on passage of title thereof to
the customers, which generally coincides with delivery. Sales are net
of taxes, returns, claims, trade discounts etc. Revenue is recognized
when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods get
passed to the buyer.
(iii)Income from Services

rendering of services as per the terms of contract.
(iv)Interest
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
l) Foreign currency translations (i) Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are 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.
(ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried
at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign
currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the
values were determined.
(iii) Exchange Differences
Exchange differences, in respect of accounting periods commencing from
1st April 2011, arising on reporting of long-term foreign currency
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial
statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a
depreciable capital asset, are added to or deducted from the cost of
the asset and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, and
in other cases, such exchange differences are accumulated in a "Foreign
Currency Monetary Items Translation Difference Account and amortised
over the balance period of such long-term asset / liability.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement or reporting of monetary
items, not covered above, at rates different from those at which they
were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous
financial statements, are recognized as income or expenses in the
period in which they arise.
(iv)Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation
purposes.
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortized as expenses or income over the life of the
respective contracts. Exchange differences on such contracts, except
the contracts which are long term foreign
currency monetary items, are recognized in the statement of profit and
loss in the year in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss
arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is
recognized as income or expense for the year. Any gain/loss arising on
forward contracts which are long term foreign currency monetary items
is recognized in accordance with paragraph 2 (l) (iii) above.
(v) Derivatives Instruments:
As per ICAI announcement, accounting for derivative contracts, other
than those covered under AS-11, are marked to market on a portfolio
basis, and the net loss after considering the offsetting effect on the
underlying hedge item is charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Net gains are ignored.
(vi)Translation of Integral foreign operations

translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been
those of the company itself.
(vii)Translation of Non-integral foreign operations
Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that, in substance,
forms part of the company''s net investment in a non- integral foreign
operation is accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve
until the disposal of the net investment. On the disposal of such net
investment, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences which
have been deferred and which relate to that investment is recognized as
income or as expenses in the same period in which the gain or loss on
disposal is recognized.
m) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of Provident Fund is a defined
contribution scheme. The Company recognizes contribution payable to
provident fund scheme as an expenditure on rendering of related service
by employees. There are no obligations other than the contribution
payable to the fund. If the contribution payable to the scheme for
service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution
already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a
liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the
contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services
received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an
asset.
Gratuity (funded) being defined benefit obligations and long term
compensated absences (unfunded) are provided for based on actuarial
valuation made at the end of each financial year using the projected
unit credit method.
Actuarial gain and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as income or expenses.
n) Income Taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred income tax. Current
income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax
authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences
between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal
of timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations
where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax
losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual
certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax
assets can be realized against future taxable profits.
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date. The company writes down the carrying amount of the
deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax
assets can be realized. Any such write down is reversed to the extent
it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
o) Employee Stock Compensation Cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
p) Segment Reporting
i. Identification of Segments
The Company has identified that its business segments are the primary
segments. The Company''s businesses are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of activity, with each segment representing a
strategic business unit that offers different products and serves
different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on
the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
ii. Inter segment Transfers
The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as
if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market
prices.
iii. Allocation of common costs
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on case to case
basis applying the ratio, appropriate to each relevant case. Revenue
and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not
allocable to segment on a reasonable basis, have been included under
the head "Unallocated  CommonÂ
iv. Segment Policies
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with
those of the Company.
q) Earning Per Share
Basic earning per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
r) Provisions
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation
as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions made in terms of Accounting Standard 29 are not discounted
to their present value and are determined based on management estimates
required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and appropriately adjusted to
reflect the current management estimates.
Provision for warranties cost is based on the claims received upto the
year end as well as the management estimates of further liability to be
incurred in this regard during the warranty period.
s) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents as indicated in the Cash Flow Statement
comprise of cash at bank and on hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
t) Accounting for interests in joint ventures

form of Âintegrated joint ventures'', the accounting treatment is done
as below in terms of Accounting Standard 27 notified by the Companies
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) :
(i) Company''s share in profits and losses is accounted for on
determination of profits or losses by the Joint Ventures;
(ii) Investments are carried at cost, net of the Company''s share of
profits or losses, recognized in the accounts.
u) Measurement of EBIDTA
As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956, the company has elected to present earnings before
finance costs, tax expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses
(EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit
and loss. The company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit from
continuing operations. In its measurement, the company does not include
depreciation and amortization expenses, finance costs and tax expenses.
Mar 31, 2012
A) Basis of preparation of Accounts
The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
respects with the accounting standards notified by the Companies
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis,
except for insurance and other claims which are accounted for on
acceptance/actual receipt basis. The accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of financial statements are consistent with those used in
the previous year, except for 'b' below.
b) Change in accounting policy
Presentation and disclosure of financial statements
During the year ended 31 March 2012, the revised Schedule VI notified
under the Companies Act 1956, has become applicable to the company, for
preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The adoption
of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement
principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However,
it has significant impact on presentation and disclosures made in the
financial statements. The company has also reclassified the previous
year figures in accordance with the Revised Schedule VI requirements
applicable in the current year.
Change in Method of Valuation of Raw Material, Construction Material
and Stores & Spares Parts During the year, the Company has implemented
a new ERP system and thus changed its method of valuation of raw
materials, construction materials and stores & spares parts inventories
from "First in First out" to "Weighted Average" basis. Further, the
management believes that such change in the method of valuation of
inventories will result in a more appropriate presentation of these
inventories and will give a systematic basis of charge for raw
materials, construction materials and stores & spares parts consumption
and would be more representative of the time pattern in which the
economic benefits will be derived from the use of such inventories. Had
the Company continued to use the earlier basis of valuation, the charge
to statement of profit and loss for the year would have been lower by
Rs 30.26 lacs and raw materials, construction materials and stores &
spares parts inventories would have been higher by Rs 30.26 lacs.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) (Second Amendment)
Rules, 2011 vide GSR 914(E) dated 29th December, 2011, the Company has
exercised the option of capitalizing exchange differences, in respect
of accounting periods commencing from 1st April, 2011, on long-term
foreign currency monetary items which were hitherto recognized as
income or expense in the period in which they arose. As a result, such
exchange differences so far as they relate to the acquisition of a
fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful
life of the asset. For this purpose, the company treats a foreign
monetary item as "long-term foreign currency monetary item", if it has
a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination.
Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency
monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item
Translation Difference Account" and amortized over the remaining life
of the concerned monetary item
Had the Company continued to use the earlier basis of recognizing
exchange differences as income or as expenses in the period in which
they arise, the charge to statement of profit and loss for the year on
account of Foreign Exchange (Gain)/Loss would have been higher by
Rs 43.62 lacs and Gross Block and Net Block of Tangible Fixed Assets
would have been lower by Rs 43.62 lacs and Rs 39.06 lacs respectively.
c) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in future periods.
d) Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Cost is inclusive
of duties (net of CENVAT/VAT), taxes, incidental expenses,
erection/commissioning expenses etc. incurred upto the date the asset
is ready for its intended use.
Machinery Spares which can be used only in connection with a particular
item of Fixed Assets and whose use, as per the technical assessment, is
expected to be irregular are capitalized and depreciated
proportionately over the residual life of the respective assets
From accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April, 2011, the
company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement
of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and
depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset.
e) Intangible Fixed Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
impairment losses, if any.
Computer softwares not being part of the hardware operating system are
assessed to have a useful life of 3 years and are capitalized as
intangible fixed assets.
f) Depreciation & Amortization Tangible Fixed Assets
i. The classification of Plant and Machinery into continuous and
non-continuous process is done as per technical certification and
depreciation thereon is provided accordingly.
ii. Depreciation on tangible fixed assets except as mentioned below,
is provided using the Straight Line Method at the rates and in the
manner prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 or at
rates determined based on the useful life of Assets estimated by the
management, whichever is higher.
- Tangible fixed assets acquired up to March 31, 1991 and tangible
fixed assets of the Wind Power Unit are depreciated at the rates
specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 using written down
value method.
- Steel Shutterings are depreciated over a period of five years on
straight line method from the year of addition.
iii. Depreciation on Insurance Spares/standby equipments is provided
over the useful lives of the respective mother assets.
iv. Depreciation on fixed assets added/disposed off during the year,
is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the month of
addition/disposal.
Intangible Fixed Assets
i. Computer softwares capitalized as intangible fixed assets are
amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life of 3 years.
g) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
to determine 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 which is
the greater of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In
assessing the 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 of money and
risks specific to the assets.
h) Leases
Finance Leases, which effectively transfer to the Company,
substantially, all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership
of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and
present value of the minimum lease payment at the inception of lease
term and disclosed as leased assets.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they
are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction
or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs
are expensed in the period they occur.
j) Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year from the date on which such investments are made are
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified
as long-term investments. Long term investments are considered at
cost, unless there is an "other than temporary" decline in value
thereof, in which case, adequate provision for diminution is made in
the financial statements. Current Investments are carried at lower of
cost and fair value on an individual investment basis.
k) Inventories
(i) Closing stock of stores and spares and raw materials (except for
those relating to construction activities) are valued at lower of cost
computed on 'Weighted Average' basis and net realizable value. However,
materials and other supplies held for use in the production of
inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in
which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above
cost. Cost includes expenses incidental to procurement thereof.
(ii) Finished goods and work in progress (except for those relating to
construction activities) are valued at the lower of cost (computed on
weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs in respect of
finished goods include direct material, labour and an appropriate
portion of overhead costs and excise duty.
(iii) Construction work in progress is valued at cost. However, in case
of contracts where losses are likely to occur, the stock is considered
at net ealized d value. Costs include materials, labour and an
appropriate portion of construction overheads.
(iv) Stores, components, etc. and construction materials at sites to be
used in contracts are valued at cost which is ascertained on 'Weighted
Average' basis.
(v) Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
l) Revenue recognition
(i) Construction contracts
Revenue on contracts is recognised on percentage completion method
based on the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of
completion is determined as a proportion that contract costs incurred
for work performed upto the reporting date bears to the estimated total
costs. When it is probable that the total contract cost will exceed the
total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized immediately.
For this purpose, total contract costs are ascertained on the basis of
actual costs incurred and costs to be incurred for completion of
contracts in progress, which is arrived at by the management based on
current technical data, forecasts and estimate of expenditure to be
incurred in future including contingencies, which being technical
matters have been relied upon by the auditors. Revisions in projected
profit or loss arising from change in estimates are reflected in each
accounting period which, however, cannot be disclosed separately in the
financial statements as the effect thereof cannot be accurately
determined.
Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly
aligned with the jobs, are distributed over the various contracts on a
pro-rata basis.
(ii) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on passage of title thereof to
the customers, which generally coincides with delivery. Sales are net
of taxes, returns, claims, trade discounts etc.
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods get passed to the buyer.
(iii) Income from Services
Revenues from operation and maintenance contracts are recognised on
rendering of services as per the terms of contract.
(iv) Interest
Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
m) Foreign currency translations

Foreign currency transactions are 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.
(ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried
at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign
currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the
values were determined.
(iii) Exchange Differences
Exchange differences, in respect of accounting periods commencing from
1st April 2011, arising on reporting of long- term foreign currency
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial
statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a
depreciable capital asset, are added to or deducted from the cost of
the asset (except for that part of exchange difference which is
regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) and are depreciated over
the balance life of the asset, and in other cases, such exchange
differences are accumulated in a "Foreign Currency Monetary Items
Translation Difference Account" and amortised over the balance period
of such long-term asset/liability.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement or reporting of monetary
items, not covered above, at rates different from those at which they
were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous
financial statements, are recognized as income or expenses in the
period in which they arise.
(iv) Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation
purposes.
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortized as expenses or income over the life of the
respective contracts. Exchange differences on such contracts, except
the contracts which are long term foreign currency monetary items, are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the
exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or
renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense
for the year. Any gain/loss arising on forward contracts which are long
term foreign currency monetary items is recognized in accordance with
paragraph 2 (m) (iii) above.
(v) Derivatives Instruments:
As per ICAI announcement, accounting for derivative contracts, other
than those covered under AS-11, are marked to market on a portfolio
basis, and the net loss after considering the offsetting effect on the
underlying hedge item is charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Net gains are ignored.
(vi) Translation of Integral foreign operations
The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are
translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been
those of the company itself.
(vii) Translation of Non-integral foreign operations
Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that, in substance,
forms part of the company's net investment in a non-integral foreign
operation is accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve
until the disposal of the net investment. On the disposal of such net
investment, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences which
have been deferred and which relate to that investment is recognized as
income or as expenses in the same period in which the gain or loss on
disposal is recognized.
n) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund being a defined
contribution scheme, are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of
the year when the contributions to the funds are due. There are no
obligations other than the contribution payable to the fund.
Gratuity (funded) being defined benefit obligations and long term
compensated absences (unfunded) are provided for based on actuarial
valuation made at the end of each financial year using the projected
unit credit method.
Actuarial gain and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as income or expenses.
o) Income Taxes:
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred income tax. Current
income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax
authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences
between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal
of timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations
where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax
losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual
certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax
assets can be realised against future taxable profits.
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date. The company writes down the carrying amount of the
deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax
assets can be realised. Any such write down is reversed to the extent
it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
p) Employee Stock Compensation Cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
q) Segment Reporting
Identification of Segments
The Company has identified that its business segments are the primary
segments. The Company's businesses are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of activity, with each segment representing a
strategic business unit that offers different products and serves
different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on
the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
Inter segment Transfers
The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as
if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market
prices.
Allocation of common costs
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on case to case
basis applying the ratio, appropriate to each relevant case. Revenue
and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not
allocable to segment on a reasonable basis, have been included under
the head "Unallocated - Common"
Segment Policies
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with
those of the Company.
r) Earning Per Share
Basic earning per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
s) Provisions
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation
as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions made in terms of
Accounting Standard 29 are not discounted to their present value and
are determined based on management estimates required to settle the
obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and appropriately adjusted to reflect the current
management estimates.
Provision for warranties cost is based on the claims received upto the
year end as well as the management estimates of further liability to be
incurred in this regard during the warranty period.
t) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents as indicated in the Cash Flow Statement
comprise of cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
u) Accounting for interests in joint ventures

form of 'integrated joint ventures', the accounting treatment is done
as below in terms of Accounting Standard 27 notified by the Companies
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) :
(i) Company's share in profits and losses is accounted for on
determination of profits or losses by the Joint Ventures;
(ii) Investments are carried at cost, net of the Company's share of
profits or losses, recognized in the accounts.
v) Measurement of EBIDTA
As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956, the company has elected to present earnings before
finance costs, tax expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses
(EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit
and loss. The company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit from
continuing operations. In its measurement, the company does not include
depreciation and amortization expenses, finance costs and tax expenses.

1. Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
respects with the accounting standards notified by the Companies
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis,
except for insurance and other claims which are accounted for on
acceptance / actual receipt basis. The accounting policies applied by
the Company are consistent with those used in the previous year, except
for the changes as described in Note No.3 below.
2. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting
period end. Although these estimates are based upon the management's
best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
3. Changes in Accounting Policies
a. During the year, the Company has accounted for unbilled revenue of
Rs. 535,810 thousands in terms of Accounting Standard 7 on Construction
Contracts which hitherto were being considered as a part of work in
progress. Accordingly, the revenue from sales & services during the
year has increased by Rs. 535,810 thousands with corresponding decrease
in work in progress as at 31st March 2010. However, the impact of the
above change on the Company's profit is not ascertainable.
b. During the year, the Company has capitalised the cost of steel
shuttering to be depreciated on straight line method over a period of
five years (being useful life as estimated by the management) from the
year of addition. Such materials were hitherto being charged to
consumption on the basis of management estimates of the physical stock
available. However, the impact of the above change on the Company's
profit is not ascertainable.
4. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition inclusive of duties (net
of CENVAT / VAT), taxes, incidental expenses, erection/commissioning
expenses upto the date the asset is ready to be put to use.
5. Depreciation
Depreciation on fixed assets except as mentioned below, is provided
using the Straight Line Method at the rates prescribed under Schedule
XIV of the Companies Act, 1956
- Fixed assets acquired up to 31st March 1991 and fixed assets of the
Wind Power Unit are depreciated at the rates specified in Schedule VI
of the Companies Act, 1956 using written down value method
- Steel Shuttering are depreciated over a period of five years on
straight line method from the year of addition
In case of impairment, if any, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the assets over their remaining useful life.
6. Impairment
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on
internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's net selling price and
value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average
cost of capital.
A previously recognised 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.
7. Leases
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense
in the Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
8. Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long-term investments. Long term
investments are considered at cost, unless there is an "other than
temporary" decline in value thereof, in which case, adequate
provision for diminution is made in the accounts. Current Investments
are carried at lower of cost and fair value on an individual investment
basis.
9. Inventories
Closing stock of stores and spares, raw materials, finished goods and
work in progress (except for those relating to construction activities)
are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of
inventories is ascertained on 'First In First Out' basis. Materials
and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are
not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will
be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost in respect of raw materials and stores and spares include expenses
incidental to procurement thereof. Cost in respect of finished goods
represents prime cost and an appropriate portion of overhead costs and
excise duty.
Construction work in progress is valued at cost. However, in case of
jobs where losses are likely to occur, the stock is considered at net
realisable value. Costs include materials, labour and an appropriate
portion of construction overheads.
Stores, components, etc. and construction materials at sites to be used
in contracts are valued at cost which is ascertained on First in First
Out (FIFO) basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
10. Revenue recognition
a) Construction contracts
Revenue on contracts is recognised on percentage completion method
based on the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of
completion is determined as a proportion that contract costs incurred
for work performed upto the reporting date bear to the estimated total

total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised immediately.
For this purpose, total contract costs are ascertained on the basis of
actual costs incurred and costs to be incurred for completion of
contracts in progress, which is arrived at by the management based on
current technical data, forecasts and estimate of expenditure to be
incurred in future including contingencies, which being technical
matters have been relied on by the auditors. Revisions in projected
profit or loss arising from change in estimates are reflected in each
accounting period which however cannot be disclosed separately in the
financial statements as the effect thereof cannot be accurately
determined.
Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly
aligned with the jobs, are distributed over the various contracts on a
pro-rata basis.

and VAT deducted from turnover (gross) are the amount that is included
in the amount of turnover (gross) and not the entire amount of
liability arisen during the year.

Revenues from operation and maintenance contracts are recognised on
rendering of services as per the terms of contract.
d) Interest
Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

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

renewal of forward exchange contract is recognised as income or expense
for the year.
Translation of Integral and Non-integral foreign operations
The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are
translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been
those of the Company itself.
In translating the financial statements of a non-integral foreign
operation for incorporation in financial statements, the assets and
liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, are translated at the
closing rate; while income and expense items are translated at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions; All the resulting exchange
differences are accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve
until the disposal of the net investment.
On the disposal of a non-integral foreign operation, the cumulative
amount of the exchange differences which have been deferred and which
relate to that operation are recognised as income or as expenses in the
same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.
When there is a change in the classification of a foreign operation,
the translation procedures applicable to the revised classification are
applied from the date of the change in the classification.
11. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund being a defined
contribution scheme, are charged to Profit and Loss Account of the year
when the contributions to the funds are due. There are no obligations

of Profit & Loss Account as income or expenses.
12. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred income tax and fringe
benefit tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to
be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax
Act. Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing
differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year
and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations
where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax
losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual
certainty supported by convincing evidence that these can be realised
against future taxable profits.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance
Sheet date. The Company writes down the carrying amount of the deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax assets can be
realised. Any such write down is reversed to the extent it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
13. Employee Stock Compensation Cost:
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value

profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
