xix. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
a. Provisions are recognised when Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
b. 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.
xx. Employee benefits
(i) 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 recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the Standalone Balance Sheet.
(ii) 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 recognized in standalone statement of profit and loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Standalone Balance Sheet if the Company 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.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes.
• Defined benefit plan i.e. gratuity
• Defined contribution plans such as provident fund, superannuation etc.
Gratuity obligations (Also, Refer note
2(b))
The liability or asset recognized in the Standalone Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. 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 Standalone Statement of profit and loss .
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized 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 Standalone Balance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in Standalone Statement of profit and loss as past service cost.
Defined contribution plans
The Company pays contribution to defined contribution schemes such as provident fund etc. The Company has
no further payment obligation once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Bonus plans
The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
xxi. Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
xxii. Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
xxiii. Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• The profit attributable to owners of the Company; and
• By the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
• the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
• the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
xxiv. Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest million as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
2(b) Critical estimates and judgments
The preparation of the standalone financial statements requires use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. 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 judgments 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 in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the standalone financial statements.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgments are:
(i) Estimation of useful life of Property, plant and equipment
The Company estimates the useful life of the Property, plant and equipment as mentioned in note 2 (a) (xiii) above, which is based on the expected technical obsolescence of such assets. However, the actual useful life may be shorter or longer than the life estimated, depending on technical innovations and competitor actions.
(ii) Estimation of defined benefit obligation
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment employee benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post¬ employment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for
the respective countries. Refer note 45 for key actuarial assumptions.
(iii) Estimation of fair value of level 3 financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Refer note 39 on fair value measurements where the assumptions and methods to perform the same are stated.
(iv) Revenue recognition for construction contract - Refer note 2 (a) (iv) and note 53
(v) Impairment of trade receivables (including Contract Assets) — Refer note 2(a) (ix) and 7,11, 16(a) and 40 (i)
(i) The investment properties consisted of commercial property in India given on cancellable and non cancellable leases for a period of 1 to 11 months till March 31, 2025. During the year no lease contracts were in force.
(ii) The Company has no restrictions on the realisability of its investment property and no contractual obligation to develop or for repair, maintenance and enhancements.
(iii) Amounts recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss for investment properties:
Leasing arrangements (a) Operating leases
The Company had given certain investment properties on operating lease till March 31,2025. These lease arrangements ranged for a period between one to eleven months and included both cancellable and non-cancellable leases. Most of the leases were renewable for further period on mutually agreeable terms. With respect to non-cancellable operating lease, the future minimum lease payment as at Balance Sheet date is as under (Refer Note 48 )
Estimation of fair value
The fair valuation is based on current prices in the active market for similar properties. Where such information is not available, the Company considers information from a variety of sources including:
• Current prices in an active market for properties of different nature or recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect those differences
• Discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows
• Capitalised income projections based upon a property’s estimated net market income, and a capitalisation rate derived from an analysis of market evidence.
The Company has obtained independent valuations report of investment properties from registered valuers as defined under rule 2 of Companies ( Registered Valuers & Valuation ) Rule, 2017. The main inputs used are quantum, area, location, demand, rental growth rates, expected vacancy rates, terminal yields and discount rates.
Note A: The Company secures contracts by submitting bids in response to tenders. Subsequent to award of contract the Company is required to form Special Purpose Vehicle ( "SPV" ) Companies (subsidiary companies ) to execute the awarded projects. As at March 31, 2026 the Company has 74 SPVs (except for H.G. Berasar Solar Project Private Limited, H.G. Foundation, H.G. Green Energy Private Limited (Formerly known as H.G. Solar Projects Private Limited) and H.G. Clean Energy Solutions Private Limited) ( March 31, 2025: 62 SPVs) as above.
Note B: Terms of optionally convertible unsecured loan
The SPVs have a sole option / discretion to convert loans in whole to equity shares at any time during the tenure of loan. If the conversion is exercised, loans shall be converted into a fixed number of equity shares at a fixed price of H 10 each. The equity shares derived from the conversion of the loans shall rank pari passu with the existing shares of the SPVs with respect to all rights therein and the Company shall have the same rights in respect of such shares as the other shares held by the existing shareholder(s). Further, the SPVs have a sole option / discretion to redeem loans in whole at any time during the tenure of the loans.
A description of Company's financial instrument risks, including risk management objectives and policies is given in Note 40. The methods used to measure financial assets reported at fair value are described in Note 39. Also refer note 56 (a).

(b) Terms and rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having face value of H 10 per share. Accordingly, all equity rank equally with regard to dividends and share in the Company's residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time. The dividend proposed by the board of directors is subject to the approval of shareholders in annual general meeting. The voting rights of an equity shareholder on a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to its share of the paid-up equity capital that has not been paid. On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive the residual assets of the Company, remaining after distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of equity shares held.
As per the records of the Company, including its registers of shareholders (members) and other declarations received from shareholders regarding beneficial interest, the above shareholding represents legal and beneficial ownerships.

Note - Refer Note 40 ( ii ) for liquidity risk management for all borrowings and Refer Note 46 for Assets pledged as security for secured borrowings.
Note B - Supplier financing arrangement
a) Factoring
The Company implemented a supplier financing program available to its suppliers. Participation in this program is voluntary for suppliers. Suppliers opting into this arrangement are eligible to receive early payment for invoices issued to the Company through a third party financial institution. The suppliers pay a fee and/or interest to the financial institution for this early payment service. To authorise early payments, the Company must first verify that the goods or services have been received and that the related invoices have been approved. The financial institution processes early payments before the original invoice due date. Regardless of early payment, the Company settles the full invoice amount directly with the financial institution based on the original payment terms. This arrangement does not alter the existing payment terms with supplier.
Key terms and conditions of the arrangement are:
• The Company decides which invoices will be financed.
• The financier pays the supplier once the vendors present the invoices for factoring.
• The Company pays the financier as per the routine date of payment, based on the terms agreed in the invoice.
• The Company has not provided comparative information in respect of the amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 relating to supplier finance arrangements, as it has applied the transitional relief available on initial adoption of these amendments, which allows entities not to present comparative disclosures for prior periods.
b) Reverse Factoring
The Company has entered into a reverse factoring arrangement for its trade payables to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME suppliers or “sellers”). For this purpose, the Company, as “buyer”, has executed an agreement with Mynd Solutions Private Limited and Receivable Exchange of India Limited (the “Exchanges”) for supplier financing. The Exchanges act as an Intermediary that connect the buyer, the seller, and participating financiers on a common platform for the factoring or reverse factoring of invoices. The primary objective of this facility is to ensure MSME suppliers are paid by their statutory due dates while enhancing the Company’s working capital position through access to financing.
Key terms and conditions of the arrangement are:
• The Company decides which invoices will be financed.
• The financier pays the supplier once the vendors present the invoices for factoring.
• The Company pays the financier as per the routine date of payment, based on the terms agreed in the invoice.
Amounts are reclassified from trade payables to borrowings once those trade payables become part of supplier finance arrangement. This reclassification is treated as a non-cash change, as no cash payment occurs at that point.
The trade payables subject to the supplier financing program described above are included in current borrowings in the standalone balance sheet. Refer note 21.1 for details of interest and other terms and conditions.
* Investments in subsidiaries and associates classified as equity investments have been accounted at historical cost. Since these are scope out of Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" for the purposes of measurement, the same have not been disclosed in the tables above.
**’The Investment in H.G. Khammam Devarapalle Pkg-1 Private Limited ( currently classfied as Asset held for sale ) has been recognised at historical cost. The fair value as per note 56 ( b ) has been determined at price per share in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed with the buyer.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are measured at amortised cost and for which fair value are disclosed in the Standalone financial statements.
Level 1 : Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes instruments like listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price.
The carrying amounts of short term loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, trade payables, current borrowings, interest accrued, capital creditors and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair value due to their short-term nature. The impact of fair value on non-current financial assets and non-current financial liabilities ( including borrowings, as disclosed above ) is not expected to have material impact on the standalone financial statements, hence not dislcosed above.
The fair value of security deposits were not calculated based on their future cash flows discounted at current lending rate as these security deposits are expected to continue to remain till the existence of the Company.
Note 40 - Financial Risk Management
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks namely credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s focus is to foresee the unpredictability offinancial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables, contract assets, security deposits, deposit with banks, loans, others receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Impairment of Financial Assets :
The Company has three types of financial assets that are subject to expected credit loss model:
1. Trade Receivables for construction contracts
2. Contract Assets relating to construction contracts
3. Loans and Other receivables
While deposits with banks are subject to impairment requirements of Ind AS 109, the identified impairment on these assets is not material.
For Trade receivables and Contract assets for construction contracts : The Company’s exposure to credit risk from trade receivables is driven primarily by the individual characteristics of each customer, together with the broader factors affecting its customer base. Ageing of trade receivables and contract assets is disclosed in Table below. The customer profile comprises public sector enterprises, state-owned companies, group companies and corporate customers. Payment terms generally comprise a mobilisation advance and monthly progress payments, with credit periods ranging up to 90 days.
The Company operates a multi-level review mechanism over customer receivables to ensure focused attention on realisation. Credit risk is considered limited, as a significant portion of the customer base comprises government- promoted entities with strong creditworthiness. The expected credit loss provision matrix incorporates available external and internal credit risk indicators, including the Company’s historical collection experience across its customers.
For Loans and Other receivables : The Company's investments in debt instruments and certain loans are considered to be low risk investments.
(A) The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenue generated from government promoted agencies and private corporates:
The Company secured contracts by submitting bids in response to tenders in terms of which it is required to form Special Purpose Vehicle ( SPV ) Companies ( Subsidiary Companies ) to execute the awarded projects. As at March 31, 2026 the Company has 11 SPVs ( As at March 31, 2025 the Company had 12 SPVs ), related to road development business operations, who have received contracts from government promoted agencies and revenue related to SPVs for work executed by the Company has been grouped in Revenue from government promoted agencies. Besides above, the Company has 63 SPVs (As at March 31, 2025 the Company had 50 SPVs), which are engaged into business of generating and transmitting power to external customers, which are government promoted agencies too. The construction work relating to PPE of those SPVs has been executed by the Company and the related revenue has been grouped as revenue from private corporates.
The movement in allowance for expected credit loss on trade and other receivables including contract assets is as below:
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk defined is as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. Company's objective is to, at all time maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its financial obligations. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and by having access to funding through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at by senior management in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
Financing arrangements
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice. Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings and compliance of financial and other covenants.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due for less than 1 year, equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
*Guarantee issued by the Company to the bankers on behalf of H.G. Raipur Visakhapatnam AP-1 Private Limited is with respect to limits availed by it. These amounts will be payable in case of default by the respective subsidiary. As of the reporting date, the subsidiary companies have not defaulted and hence, the Company does not have any present obligation to third parties in relation to such guarantee.
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risks i.e. interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and creditors for capital expenditures.
(a) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates is insignificant and relates primarily to the Company’s creditors for capital expenditures. The Company’s foreign currency risks are identified, measured and managed at periodic intervals in accordance with the Company’s policies. As at March 31, 2026, Company's foreign currency exposure amounts to H Nil ( March 31, 2025 H Nil ).
(b) Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to risk of changes in market rate is limited to short term working capital loans at variable rate taken from banks as the Company's long term borrowings bear fixed interest rate.
Note 41 - Capital Management
(a) Risk Management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company and borrowings.
The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to our shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management’s judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to day needs. We consider the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manage the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
The Company’s aim is to translate profitable growth to superior cash generation through efficient capital management. The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
Note 42 - Segment Reporting
In terms of Paragraph 4 of Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segments’, the detailed segment disclosures have been presented in the consolidated financial statements.
(i) Information about geographical areas
The Company’s activities are predominantly within India and hence no separate geographical segment disclosure is considered necessary.
(ii) Information about major customers
For the year ended, March 31,2026, the Company has two major customers constituting 51% and 13% of total Company’s revenue. Correspondingly, these customers constitute 38% and 29% for the year ended, March 31, 2025.
D) Terms and conditions
All Related Party Transactions entered during the year were in ordinary course of the business and are on arm’s length basis. All outstanding balances are unsecured and repayable in cash.
Allowance for expected credit loss amounting to H 246.81 Million (March 31, 2025 : H 131.05 Million) has been recognised during the year in respect of receivable due from related parties.
(i) Compensated Absences
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences as per the policy of the Company. However, based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months. Accordingly, these compensated absences have been classified as Non current liabilities as at March 31, 2026.
(ii) Post employment obligations
(a) Defined Contribution Plans:
Provident fund
Employers’ contribution to employees’ pension scheme 1995 Employers’ contribution to Employee State Insurance Corporation ( ESIC )
The provident fund and pension scheme are operated by regional provident fund commissioner. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits.
(b) Defined Benefit Obligations:
Gratuity
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees in India in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The new Labour Codes introduced by the Government of India, inter alia, require gratuity to be calculated based on wages constituting at least 50% of total remuneration. This has resulted in an increase in gratuity benefits in respect of services rendered in prior periods, and accordingly, the company has recognised past service cost amounting to INR 14.48 Million during the year. In accordance with Ind AS 19, the past service cost has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the current year in which the plan amendment became effective.
The gratuity obligation has been actuarially valued by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method, considering the revised definition of wages for gratuity computation.
The amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet and the movements in the net defined benefit obligation over the year are as follows:
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(iii) The major categories of plans assets are as follows:
The plan asset for the funded gratuity plan is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India ('LIC'), Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Limited ('ABSLI') & SBI Life Insurance Company Limited ('SBI Life') as per the investment pattern stipulated for Pension and Group Schemes fund by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority regulations i.e. 100% of plan assets are invested in insurer managed fund. Quoted price of the same is not available in active market.
(iv) Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Demographic Risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.
Asset volatility : The defined benefit plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. 100% of the plan asset investments is in insurer managed funds. These are subject to interest rate risk and the fund manages interest rate risk with derivatives to minimise risk to an acceptable level.
Salary Inflation Risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
(v) Defined Benefit Obligations and Employer Contributions
The Company considers that the contribution rates set at the last valuation date are sufficient to eliminate the deficit over the agreed period and that regular contributions, which are based on service costs, will not increase significantly.
Expected contributions to defined benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2027 are H 238.84 Million ( March 31, 2026 H 143.92 million).
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 4.09 years (March 31, 2025: 3.06 years). The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity is as follows:
Note 48 - Disclosure of operating leases under Ind AS 116
The Company rents out its equipments and flats ( classified in investment property ) on operating lease basis. These lease arrangements range for a period between one to eleven months and include both cancellable and non-cancellable leases. Most of the leases are renewable for further period on mutually agreeable terms. There are no contingent rents recognised as income in the period.
Note 50 - Loan and Investment in subsidiaries
