HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The Company (IRB) has a large pool of experienced and skilled technical manpower, with which IRB executes world-class projects and delivers excellent quality. IRB aims to keep its employees abreast of the latest technical developments and emerging technologies related to the construction of roads and structures, toll operations, collection processes and road maintenance activities. The Company encourages its executives to attend seminars and symposiums conducted by professional bodies of global repute. Employees are also nominated to attend other professional skill-building programmes.

IRB''s reputation of providing a congenial work environment that respects individuality and encourages professional growth, innovation and performance, acts as a strong pull to attract new industry talent. Human resources continue to be one of the core focus areas. Open work culture, effective communications, fair and equitable treatment and welfare of employees are significant value propositions, which help IRB to retain its highly engaged talent pool and generate trust among its employees. Non discrimination of employees on the basis of caste, creed, region, religion or gender; respect for human rights and established mechanism for addressing the grievances of employees are the policies which are meticulously followed and vigorously implemented in the IRB group and are ingrained in the DNA of our work culture. Therefore, IRB remains the ‘employer of choice'' with one of the lowest attrition rates in the infrastructure sector and has won many awards like Dream Companies to work in construction Sector in India. Probably, that''s the reason that even in the Covid pandemic situation, our attrition rates remained low and we were not only able to maintain the pace of project construction, but also able to keep our toll operations running smoothly without any disruption.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

IRB Group believes in making meaningful and lasting contribution to the societies in which it operates.

Being engaged in the development of infrastructure facilities, we clearly realize that the foundations are the bedrock upon

which all the future progress will be made. Hence, the Group values and ardently promotes activities, which contribute in building strong foundations of the society in which we operate. Under the guidance of the Board, the Group Companies has formulated CSR Policy, which enables them to take up initiatives in various activities like providing education & healthcare, promoting gender equality etc.

Towards its commitment to help the underprivileged sections of the society, Group has focused on one area for its attention and that is Right to Education. We in IRB understand the impact the education has on a society''s overall growth and wellbeing, health and employment. For the better future of a society, there is no better way to contribute than to focus on educating the girl child.

We have constructed one school in Tonk, Rajasthan where 311 children disadvantaged sections of the society are getting free education and studying in different classes from Pre Primary to Class VIII since last ten years. Encouraged with the response of children and local villagers around the school we replicated the same template of school building construction in Pathankot, Punjab. Classes started in this school from the Academic year 2017-18. Currently 275 students, belonging to disadvantaged section of population, have joined the school. IRB Schools have deliberately been ensuring that there will always be more girl students than boy students, studying in school run by it. With our focus being on girl child education, preference for admission is given to girl child, like done earlier in school in Rajasthan. Plans are now afoot to take up similar initiatives in other states where we have our presence.

What is noteworthy about these schools is that these are creating a new trail in encouraging girl children of the area in taking up education even in traditional and backward rural societal segments of Rajasthan and Punjab. These schools provide well-constructed modern permanent school buildings having ventilated and well-lit class rooms, clean and filtered drinking water, and hygienic sanitation and lavatory facilities. Strict screening of the school staff and CCTV monitoring, stringent control of visitors to the schools are some of the factors, which inspire confidence in parents of children to trust IRB Schools to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children study.

Due to Covid pandemic, State Governments had closed the schools to safeguard health of the students. However, it did not prevent our schools to continue teaching students through online classes and YouTube videos. Weak students are being given extra coaching by teachers.

Govt of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in consultation with the Ministry of Human Resource Development, had launched Fit India School grading system in schools across the country in November 2020. The Prime Minister encouraged School managements across the country to adopt the same. This programme demonstrates how much importance the school

Over 5,900 skilled and dedicated employees help the Group to execute, maintain and operate world-class projects.

Respect for individual, open work culture, effective communication, fair and equitable treatment and welfare of employees are significant employee value propositions, which help the Group to retain a pool of large number of highly engaged professionals and generate high level of trust amongst its employees.

Not only the human values, the Company also places a great emphasis on employee development. During the last year, over 1,800 employees attended a total of 15,000 hours of training on leadership, team building, stress management and customer handling. A number of other activities like free medical health check up camps, financial literacy sessions also kept employees motivated and engaged.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

IRB Group believes in making meaningful and lasting contribution to the societies in which it operates. Being engaged in the development of infrastructure facilities, we clearly realise that the foundations are the bedrock upon which all the future progress will be made. Hence, the Group values and ardently promotes activities, which contribute in building strong foundations of the society in which we operate. Under the guidance of the Board, the Group Companies has formulated CSR Policy, which enables them to take up initiatives in various activities like providing education & healthcare, promoting gender equality, measures for the welfare of the armed forces etc.

Towards its commitment to help the underprivileged sections of the society, Group has focused on one area for its attention and that is Right to Education. We have established and are successfully running two model IRB Primary Schools for the children where 490 students are currently studying. First school in Village Maalion Ka Jhopra in Tonk district in Rajasthan, has 315 students studying from pre primary to Class VIII., the second school in Jakror Village, Pathankot has 175 students.

We in IRB realise the impact the education has on a society’s overall growth and wellbeing, health and employment. For the better future of a society, there is no better way to contribute than to focus on educating the girl child. IRB Schools have deliberately been ensuring that there will always be more girl students than boy students, studying in school run by it. Therefore, we have more than 100 and 162 girl students in our Schools at Pathankot and at Tonk, in Rajasthan respectively.

What is remarkable about these schools is that these are creating a new trail in encouraging girl children of the area in taking up education even in traditional and backward rural societal segments of Rajasthan and Punjab. These schools provide well constructed modern permanent school buildings having ventilated and well lighted class rooms, clean and filtered drinking water, and hygienic sanitation and lavatory facilities. Strict screening of the school staff and CCTV monitoring stringent control of visitors to the schools are some of the factors, which inspire confidence in parents of children to trust IRB Schools to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children study.

Quality of education with use of modern teaching techniques and ideal teacher student ratio of 1:27 is reflected in results of the Board Exams. Of the 26 students of second batch of Class VIII students to pass out from IRB School, Tonk, Rajasthan 15 passed out with A grade, 9 with a grade and only one Child with B grade.

PROJECTS IN OPERATION & RELATED UPDATES IRB

Ahmedabad Vadodara Super Express Tollway Pvt. Ltd.

This SPV had received a Provisional Completion Certificate from the Competent Authority on December 4, 2015. Consequently, this SPV has started toll collection on NH-8 arm from December 6, 2015. This SPV has already been collecting toll on Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway (NE-1) arm since January 2013. During the year under review, this SPV has availed a loan of Rs.466 Crores out of the total project loan. As on March 31, 2016, this SPV''s authorised and paid up share capital was Rs.378 Crores.

Your Company''s operational projects have witnessed traffic growth in line with overall economic activities in the country during the year.

Concession period for the Kharpada Bridge Project (SPV - IRB Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) expired on August 28, 2015. The Project was awarded to the SPV in year 1997 and it has been operating & maintaining the Project since then. Upon successful completion of the term of the Project, the SPV had handed over the Project to the Government.

Your Directors also draw your attention to the fact that in May 2015, the Company received the directions from the Government of Maharashtra:

a) to stop Toll Collection on (1) Mohol - Mandrup - Kamtee BOT Project and (2) Nagar - Karmala - Tembhurni BOT Project with effect from midnight of May 31, 2015;

b) to exempt cars and MSRTC buses from paying toll on Thane - Ghodbunder BOT Project.

The Company had complied with these directives of the Government. However, the Company has lodged claims with the Government of Maharashtra for compensation for these projects. These respective companies have filed claims for compensation from Public Works Department (PWD), Government of Maharashtra and received claims aggregating to Rs.2,015.31 Lakhs.

In view of prevalent local conditions, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) had directed to suspend toll collection of the Company''s wholly owned subsidiary viz. IRB Kolhapur Integrated Road Development Company Private Limited (IRBK). MSRDC had informed that a proposal for buy- back of the toll project of IRBK is under consideration of the Government of Maharashtra (GoM). Accordingly on August 26, 2015, a committee was formed by the GoM to find an amicable solution for valuation of the project. Further vide letter dated December 29, 2015, GoM has reiterated to IRBK not to re- commence toll collection and informed that the Committee is in process of determining the compensation value. Based on legal advice the management believes that it will be able to recover the carrying value of its assets by way of buy-back/ compensation and in the alternative can recommence the toll collection in case the matter is not resolved.

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in Financial Year 2011-12 had issued a letter to IRB Goa Tollway Private Limited for terminating the Concession Agreement with respect to Four Laning of Goa/Karnataka Border to Panaji Goa Stretch of NH 4A in the State of Goa due to inability of NHAI to resolve the matters on land acquisition, clearance of Forest & Environment Department and disputes on toll rates with the Government of Goa. The Project SPV had claimed for the compensation from NHAI towards termination of Concession Agreement and matter was under Arbitration before the Arbitral Tribunal. During the year, the matter has been decided in favour of the Company. However, pending final acceptance of award by NHAI, the management believes that presently there is no certainty in respect of realisation of the claim and hence income is not recognised.

There has been no change in the nature of business of the subsidiaries, during the year under review. A statement containing salient features of the financial statements of the subsidiary companies is also included in the Annual Report.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Manpower is one of the key resources which company deploys for its business activities. Over 6,000 skilled and dedicated employees help the Group to execute world-class high quality projects. The name of IRB has become synonymous with High Quality National Highways in the country.

Respect for individual, open work culture, effective communication, fair and equitable treatment and welfare of employees are significant employee value propositions, which help the Group to retain a pool of large number of highly engaged professionals and generate high level of trust amongst its employees. These qualities also won us an award as one of the "50 Most Caring Companies in India" by World CSR Congress and a citation presented in a ceremony at Mumbai in February 2015. No wonder that your Company remains ''employer of choice'' in the infrastructure sector.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

IRB Group believes in making meaningful and lasting contribution to the societies in which we operate. Being engaged in the development of infrastructure facilities, we clearly realise that the foundations are the bedrock upon which all the future progress will be made. Hence, the Group values and ardently promotes activities which contribute in building strong foundations of the society in which we operate. Under the guidance of the Board, the Group Companies have formulated CSR Policy which enables them to take up initiatives in various activities like providing education & healthcare, promoting gender equality, measures for the welfare of the armed forces, etc.

Towards its commitment to help the underprivileged sections of the society, Group has focused on one area for its attention and that is Right to Education. We established and are successfully running a model IRB Primary School for the children of Village Maalion Ka Jhopra in Tonk district in Rajasthan, where 311 children are being provided free education uniforms and books. What is remarkable about this school is that besides the quality of education being provided, it is creating a new trail in encouraging girl children of the area in taking up education. In a traditional and backward societal segment of Rajasthan, where educating girl child is frowned upon, your school has the distinction having more girl students than boy students enrolled in the school. The school has students from Pre primary class to class VIII. To replicate the same model further, the Group has laid foundation stone for a school near Jakror Village of Pathankot district of Punjab, where your Company has Amritsar Pathankot BOT project. Construction of the school building has already commenced and scheduled to be completed in FY 2016-17. Meanwhile, a preliminary survey to identify suitable land in the area of Yedeshi - Solapur - Aurangabad has been conducted with a view to establish one school in the vicinity of our ongoing project in that area. Negotiations are underway to acquire suitable land. As the construction completes in Pathankot, we plan to initiate the preliminary acquisition activities for our third school.

Another major CSR initiative is currently under finalisation at Sindhudurg where construction of a Greenfield airport by subsidiary of IRB viz. IRB Sindhudurg Airport Pvt. Ltd. (ISAPL) is under going. Promoting good health and hygiene amongst the local people, preserving and conserving local natural resources, generation of employment opportunities and jobs, community building and education are some of thrust areas in which ISAPL is finalising the CSR activities.

The Group continues to financially support and foster brilliant and promising sports persons and artists. The Group also continues to support many Engineering and Educational institutes for promoting their Educational and Cultural activities by financial support and instituting merit scholarships through endowments.

The Group has been generously contributing to the various institutions which are engaged in providing primary as well as advance healthcare facilities to the public. The Group also contributed towards provision of sanitation facilities.

The Group continues the spirit of supporting worthy social causes. Many social & cultural institutions continue to be supported by the Group without seeking any publicity or glorification in line with the Company''s ethos that to serve humanity is the best service of all - of course in addition to constructing world class highways! CSR Policy adopted by the Board is available on the website of the Company www.irb.co.in.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Manpower is the real power behind all the resources which company deploys for its business activities. Over 6,000 skilled and dedicated employees help your Company to execute world-class high quality projects. The name of IRB has become synonymous with High Quality National Highways in the country from north to south.

Respect for individual, open work culture, effective communication, fair and equitable treatment and welfare of employees are significant employee value propositions, which help your Company to retain a pool of large number of highly engaged professionals and generate high level of trust amongst its employees. These qualities also won us an award as one of the "50 Most Caring Companies in India" by World CSR Congress and a citation presented in a ceremony at Mumbai in February, 2015. No wonder that your Company remains ''employer of choice'' in the infrastructure sector.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

IRB Group believes in making meaningful and lasting contribution to the societies in which we operate. Being engaged in the development of infrastructure facilities, we clearly realise that the foundations are the bedrock upon which all the future progress will be made. Hence, theGroup values and ardently promotes activities which contribute in building strong foundations of the society in which we operate. Under the guidance of the Board, the Group Companies have formulated CSR Policy which enables them to take up initiatives in various activities like providing education & healthcare, promoting gender equality measures for the welfare of the armed forces, etc.

Towards its commitment to help the underprivileged sections of the society, Group has focused on one area for its attention and that is Right to Education. We established and are successfully running a model IRB Primary School for the children of Village Maalion Ka Jhopra in Tonk district in Rajasthan, where 245 children are being provided free education including uniforms and books. What is remarkable about this school is that besides the quality of education being provided, it is creating a new trail in encouraging girl children of the area in taking up education. In a traditional and backward societal segment of Rajasthan, where educating girl child is frowned upon, your school has the distinction having more girl students than boy students enrolled in the school. To replicate the same model further, your company has laid foundation stone for a school near Jakror Village of Pathankot district of Punjab, where your company has Amritsar Pathankot BOT project. Construction of the school building has already commenced.

Another major CSR initiative is currently under finalisation at Sindhudurg where construction of a Greenfield airport by subsidiary of IRB viz. IRB Sindhudurg Airport Pvt. Ltd. (ISAPL) is under going. Promoting good health and hygiene amongst the local people, preserving and conserving local natural resources, generation of employment opportunities and jobs, community building and education are some of thrust areas in which ISAPL is finalising the CSR activities.

The Group continues to financially support and foster brilliant and promising sports persons and artists. The Group also continues to support many Engineering and Educational institutes for promoting their Educational and Cultural activities by financial support and instituting merit scholarships through endowments.

The Group has also endeavoured to foster the spirit of supporting worthy social causes in its employees also. One such initiative to support various NGOs is through financially sponsoring corporate participation of employees of the company in Mumbai Marathon organised by Standard Chartered. Many social & cultural institutions continue to be supported by the Group without seeking any publicity or glorification in line with the Company''s ethos that to serve humanity is the best service of all - of course in addition to constructing world class highways!

Further, your Directors draw your attention to the fact that being a responsible corporate citizen, the Group believes in making meaningful and lasting contribution to the societies. Hence, the Board thought it prudent to devise a plan first for the CSR spends of the Group and spend accordingly. The Board is in process of finalising this plan. The Group has already spent substantial amount aggregating to Rs. 6.19 Crores on CSR initiatives in last financial year itself. Additionally, the Board also thought it prudent to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle for the Group to implement the Group''s CSR objectives. Accordingly the Group has already taken steps in this direction and now incorporated a "not-for-profit" company under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, viz. IRB Charitable Foundation. This Foundation will facilitate implementation of CSR initiatives of the Group within the ambit of CSR Policy in future in various States of India. Further, under the ongoing initiative in the field of Right to Education, the Group is currently in process of establishing schools in the vicinity of the Group''s Projects to help the underprivileged sections of the society. Such process usually takes 2-3 years and involves activities like finalisation of location, approvals & permissions to run a school, construction of school building and related infrastructure, recruitment of school staff, provision of uniform and educational materials etc. Hence the Company could not spend entire amount of CSR spend in the financial year 2014-15. However, the Company is committed to spend allocated amount in future as per its CSR Policy.

CSR Policy adopted by the Board is available on the website of the Company www.irb.co.in.

The Annual Report on CSR activities is annexed herewith as "Annexure G".
