21. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A. Provisions
A provision is recognised if
• the Company has present legal or constructive obligation as a result of an event in the past;
• it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and
• the amount of the obligation has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Onerous Contract
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision. However, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets dedicated to that contract. An onerous contract is a contract under which the unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that the Company cannot avoid because it has the contract) of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from
the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract (i.e., both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities).
Defect Liability Provision
The Defect Liability Period (DLP) is a contractual provision that defines the period after construction completion during which the Company is responsible for rectifying any defects at no extra cost to the client. The DLP is a contractual obligation towards failure to rectify defects within the specified period.
This period can range from a few months to several years, depending on the project and contract terms.
Company creates provisions to cover potential costs associated with rectifying defects during the DLP. This provision is based on estimation as mentioned under critical estimates.
B. Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬ occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
C. Contingent assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. A contingent asset is not recognised but disclosed where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
22. Employee benefits
A. Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service are recognised in the same period in which the employees renders the related service and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution plan. The Company has no obligation , other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related services. 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 recognised 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 recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
B. Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
C. Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post¬ employment schemes
(a) defined benefit plans - Gratuity
(b) defined contribution plans - Provident fund, superannuation and pension
Defined benefit plans:
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets excluding non-qualifying asset (reimbursement right). The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Insurance policy held by the Company from insurers who are related parties are not qualifying insurance policies and hence the right to reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset under other non-current and/or current assets as the case may be.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined contribution plans:
In case of all employees, the Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Such contributions are accounted for as employee benefit expense when they are due. Defined contribution to superannuation fund is being made as per the scheme of the Company.
Defined contribution to Employees Pension Scheme 1995 is made to Government Provident Fund Authority whereas the contributions for National Pension Scheme is made to Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited.
D. Share based payment
The Company operates an equity settled, employee share based compensation plan, under which the Company receives services from employees as consideration for equity shares of the Company. Equity settled share based payment to employees and other providing similar services are measured at fair value of the equity instrument at grant date.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is determined by reference to the fair value of the options as at the Grant Date and is recognised as an ‘employee benefits expense’ with a corresponding increase in equity. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period which is the period over which the applicable vesting condition is to be satisfied.
At the end of each year, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the service vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
If at any point of time after the vesting of the share options, the right to the same expires (either by virtue of lapse of the exercise period or the employee leaving the Company), the fair value of the options accruing in favour of the said employee are transferred back to the retained earnings in the reporting period in which the right expires.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
23. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The Board of directors of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker which reviews and assesses the financial performance and makes the strategic decisions.
24. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share is the net profit for the period. The weighted average number equity shares outstanding during the period and all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit of loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of share outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
25. Exceptional items
Exceptional items include income/expenses that are considered to be part of ordinary activities, however of such significance and nature that separate disclosure enables the users of standalone financial statements to understand the impact in more meaningful manner. Exceptional Items are identified by virtue of their size, nature and incidence.
26. Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
1C NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification dated 12 August 2024, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024.
a. Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features; a few scope exceptions
will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a general model, supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
• A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short- duration contracts
The amendments had no impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
b. Amendments to Ind AS 116 Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
The amendments had no impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
There are no new standards which are issued but not yet effective as on March 31, 2025.
1D SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. The management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included below.
1 Defect Liability provision
DLP (Defect Liability Period) is a specified period after the completion of a construction project during which the contractor is responsible for rectifying any defects or faults that may arise. Although DLP is project specific, it is generally varying from 12 months to 24 months depending on the contractual condition. During the DLP, the contractor carries out repairs and fix any defects from his own cost which appear in the workmanship, so that, at the end of the DLP, all works are as per specifications of the contract.
Once project is handed over to the customer and all revenue of the project is recognised, the Company starts accounting of DLP expenses. At the time of closing the projects, the Company makes provision against DLP expenses which is project specific. Considering the complexity of the project, project manager recommends the DLP amount after discussion and approval of BU head.
Every quarter end expenses incurred are adjusted against this DLP expenses provision. Once provision is exhausted, all expenses if any will be directly booked in the project.
2 Impairment allowance for trade receivables
The impairment provisions for trade receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, credit risk, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Further, in case of operationally closed projects, Company makes specific assessment of the overdue balances by considering the customer’s historical payment patterns, latest correspondences with the customers for recovery of the amounts outstanding and credit status of the significant counterparties where available. Accordingly, a best judgment estimate is made to record the impairment allowance in respect of operationally closed projects.
3 Project revenue and costs
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion determined with reference to the actual costs incurred up to reporting date on the construction contract and the estimated cost to complete the project. The percentage-of-completion method places considerable importance on accurate
estimates to the extent of progress towards completion and involve estimates on the scope of deliveries and services required for fulfilling the contractually defined obligations. These significant estimates include total contract costs, total contract revenues, contract risks, including technical, political and regulatory risks, and other judgments. The Company re¬ assesses these estimates on periodic basis and makes appropriate revisions accordingly.
4 Fair value measurement
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using appropriate valuation techniques. The inputs for these valuations are taken from observable sources where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of various inputs including liquidity risk, credit risk, volatility etc. Changes in assumptions/judgements about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer Note 36 of standalone financial statements for the fair value disclosures and related sensitivity.
5 Employee benefits
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment leave benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.
All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Refer note 16 and note 35(a, b)
6 Leases
Estimates are required to determine the appropriate discount rate used to measure lease liabilities. The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease,
therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates, bank rates to the Company for a loan of a similar tenure, etc). The Company has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date
7 Share based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
8 Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystalising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognised. The cases which have been determined as remote by the Company are not disclosed.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements unless when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
9 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and amortisation expected in future periods.
Nature and Purpose of Reserves Retained Earnings
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings includes re-measurement loss / (gain) on defined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss. Retained earnings is a free reserve available to the Company.
Capital Reserve
Reserve is primarily created on business combination as per statutory requirement. This reserve is utilised in accordance with the specific provisions of the Companies Act 2013.
Securities Premium
Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Effective Portion of Cashflow Hedges
The Company uses hedging instrument to manage its commodity price risk with respect to forecast purchase of aluminium . To the extent these hedges are effective, the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. Amounts recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges is reclassified to the Statement of profit & loss when the hedged item affects the Profit and Loss.
Note 19 : Trade Credits (Contd..)
Acceptances pertain to amount payable towards arrangements wherein banks and financial institutions make direct payments to suppliers for raw materials and traded goods. The banks and financial institutions are subsequently repaid by the Company at the due date. Interest in such cases is borne by the Company.
Bill Discounting pertains to amounts payable towards vendor financing entered into with the suppliers. Under this arrangement, the supplier is eligible to receive payment prior to the expiry of extended credit period by assigning such invoices to a third-party purchaser bank based on security in the form of an undertaking issued by the Company to the bank. Further, the third party purchaser bank charges interest to the Company for the extended credit period.
These arrangements are normally settled within 120 days from the date of draw down. The economic substance of these transactions is determined to be operating in nature and these are recognised as trade credits and disclosed on the face of the balance sheet. Payments made by banks and financial institutions to the operating vendors are treated as a non¬ cash item and settlement of trade credits by the Company is treated as cash flows from operating activity reflecting the substance of the payment. The interest borne by the Company has been presented under Finance Cost.
Note 33 : Exceptional Items
Pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement between Bajaj Electricals Limited (“Demerged Company”) and Bajel Projects Limited (“Resulting Company”) and their respective shareholders ("Scheme") as approved by National Company Law Tribunal’s (NCLT) Order dated order June 8, 2023, stamp duty needs to be paid on demerger as per Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958 as amended by Maharashtra Stamp (Amendement and Validation) Act, 2017. Further, pursuant to scheme of demerger, transfer fees is payable on transfer of leasehold land from Demerged Company to Resulting Company. Accordingly, provision of H768.04 lakhs was recorded in previous year towards the stamp duty and transfer fees. The same was disclosed in exceptional items.
Note 35 (a) : Defined Benefit Plan
Disclosure of defined benefit plans are as given below :
A. Gratuity :
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (Funded) for its employees, which requires contribution to be made to a separately administered fund.
The gratuity benefit payable to the employees of the Company is greater of the two : (i) The provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or (ii) The Company’s gratuity scheme as described below.
Note 37: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of trade payables, trade credits, borrowings, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities. The Company's principal financial assets include trade receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and other financial assets that are derived directly from the operations. The Company's risk management is carried out by the management under the policies approved of the Board of Directors that help in identfication, measurement, mitigation and reporting all risk associated with the activities of the Company. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summaried below:
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities mainly in relation to trade and other receivables and bank deposits.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and credit risk is managed through credit approvals and periodical monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms.
The Company undertake projects for government institutions (including local bodies) and private institutional customers. The credit concentration is more towards government institutions. These projects are normally of long term duration of two to three years. Such projects normally are regular tender business with the terms and conditions agreed as per the tender. These projects are generally fully funded by the government of India through Rural Electrification Corporation, Power Finance Corporation, and Asian Development Bank etc. The Company enters into such projects after careful consideration of strategy, terms of payment, past experience etc.
In case of private institutional customers, before tendering for the projects Company evaluate the creditworthiness, general feedback about the customer in the market, past experience, if any with customer, and accordingly negotiates the terms and conditions with the customer.
The Company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such trade and other receivables. In respect of trade receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that is commensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based on past experience, customer creditability, and also on the nature and specifics of business especially in the engineering and projects division. In case of engineering projects, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis, since they are large projects in individuality.
Note 37: Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd..)
Bank deposits
The Company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions and reviews it on an on-going basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions of reputation, good past track record and high-quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is the carrying value of such cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 5, 10 and 11 of the financials.
B) Liquidity Risk
The Company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in the system to fund business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities. The department obtains business plans from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidated and borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms of long term funds and short-term funds. Considering the peculiar nature of EPC business, which is very working capital intensive, treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines in the form of fund based and non-fund based (Letter of Credit and Bank Guarantee) limits.
The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatches in cash flows are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is proper movement of funds between the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:
(C) Market Risk
Market risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. It comprises three main components: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risks such as commodity price risk.
The Company aims to minimise the impact of currency and commodity price risks through the use of derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used in accordance with the Company’s Risk Management Policies, which are approved by the Board of Directors. These policies provide written guidelines for the use of financial derivatives to hedge currency and commodity risks. The Company does not engage in derivative trading for speculative purposes.
Note 37: Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd..)
The Company is primarily exposed to financial risks arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. To manage these exposures, the Company enters into various derivative financial instruments, including:
- foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising from USD-linked purchase contracts
- Commodity Over the Counter (OTC) derivative contracts to hedge the price risk for base metal such as Aluminium.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company’s functional currency is Indian Rupees (INR). The Company operates in the global market and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar ('USD'), Kenyan Shillings (‘KES’), Zambian Kwacha (‘ZMW’) and West African CFA Franc (‘XOF’). Volatility in exchange rates also affects the cost of raw materials, primarily in relation to USD linked purchase contracts.
(a) Foreign currency risk exposure:
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR, are as follows :
Note 37: Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd..)
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates. In case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in a large number of cases. Hence, interest rate risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant.
(iii) Commodity Price risk
The Company undertakes turnkey EPC projects, which involve procuring equipment and materials often linked to commodity prices such as steel, copper, aluminium, and zinc. This exposes the Company to commodity price risk.
To mitigate these risks, the Company employs several strategies:
- Contractual arrangements such as variable price purchase orders, where hedging may be performed by vendors;
- Direct hedging of base metal exposure (e.g., aluminium) using OTC derivative contracts linked to London Metal Exchange (LME) prices.
(D) Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Hedging commodity is based on procurement schedule and price risk. Commodity is undertaken as a risk offsetting exercise and depending upon market conditions, hedges may extend beyond the financial year.
The Company has a well defined hedging policy approved by Board of Directors of the Company, which partially takes care of the commodity price fluctuations and minimizes the risk.
Note 38: Capital Management Objectives of Company's capital management
The Board policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to mainain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of directors monitors the return on capital employed. The Company manages capial risk by maintaining sound / optimal capital stucture through monitoring of financial ratios on a monthly basis and implements capital structure improvement plan when necessary. The Company uses debt ratio as a capital management index and calculates the ratio as Net debt divided by total equity. Net debt and total equity are based on the amounts stated in the financial statements.
Debt ratio is 0.21 of the Company as on the balance sheet date.
Note 39: Segment reporting
The Company will be primarily engaged in the business of power transmission and power distribution, which in terms of Ind AS 108 is a 'Operating Segments', constitutes a single reporting sement which is also reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
1) Segment Revenue :
The amount of revenue from external customers broken down by location if the customers is shown in table below :-
Note 42. Commitments and contingencies (Contd..)
i) These represent legal claims filed against the Company by various parties and these matters are in litigation. Management has assessed that in all these cases the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable.
ii) GST matters under dispute pertain to dispute regarding discrepancies between E-way bill and delivery challan.
iii) Income tax matters in last year pertain to matter regarding allowance of TDS credits.
b. Commitments
i. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed in capital account (net of capital advances) is H5,476.93 lakhs (March 31, 2024 - 240.62 lakhs).
ii. The Company is carrying provision of H104.68 lakhs (March 31, 2024 - H 5.42 lakhs) towards forseeable losses in
relation to certain projects where the cost estimated to complete the project has significantly exceeded the cost expected at the time of bidding on account of:¬ - Delay in awarding the project
- Increase in metal prices
Note 43: Disclosures of revenue from contracts with customers
The disclosures as required for revenue from contracts with customers are as given below
(i) Disaggregation of revenue
Disaggregation of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers and reconciliation of amount of revenue recognised in the statement of profit and loss with the contracted price is as given below.
The Company executes the work as per the terms and agreements mentioned in the contracts. The Company receives payments from the customers based on the milestone achievement and billing schedule as established in the contracts.
Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from supply of materials and erection services provided when the performance obligation is met. Upon achievement and acceptance of milestones mentioned by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.
Contract liabilities are related to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and billing in excess of contract revenue recognised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation under the contract.
(iii) Performance obligations
Information about the Company's performance obligations is summarised below:
The performance obligations is the supply of materials and erection services. The supply of materials and erection services are promised goods and services which are not individually distinct. Hence both of them are counted as a single performance obligation under the contract. The satisfaction of this performance obligation happens over time, as the performance or enhancement of the obligation is controlled by the customer. Also, the performance of the obligation creates an asset without any alternative use to the customer. The Company uses the input method to determine the progress of the satisfaction of the performance obligation and accordingly recognises revenue.
The standalone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and significant financing component .
Note 44: Leases
The Company takes on lease, storage places at various EPC sites to store the inventories which are used for construction. These leases are generally short term in nature, with very few contracts having a tenure of 1-2 years. Further, the Company has few guest houses, residential premises and office premises and IT assets also on leases which generally for a longer period ranging from 2-5 years.
The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases for which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets, on the commencement of the lease. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The leases which the Company enters, does not have any variable payments. The lease rents are fixed in nature with gradual escalation in lease rent.
Apart from the above, the Company also has various leases which are either short term in nature or the assets which are taken on the leases are generally low value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has determined leasehold lands also as right of use assets and hence the same has been classified from property, plant and equipment to right of use assets.
For movement of right of use assets, Refer note 3 For movement of lease liability, Refer note 3.
For significant judgements used for accounting right of use assets and lease liabilities, Refer note 1D(6)
For new leases added during the year, lease liabilities have been measured using incremental borrowing rate of 9.35% For maturity analysis of lease liabilities, refer note 37(B)(ii)
