(v) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised only when:
(i) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; and
(ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
(iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows. Reimbursement expected in respect of expenditure required to settle a provision is recognised only when it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received.
Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:
(i) a possible obligation arising 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; or
(ii) a present obligation arising from past events where:
• it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
• the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision for onerous contract/foreseeable losses.
(w) Commitments
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
• estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
• uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;
• funding related commitment to subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies; and
• other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management. Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details.
(x) Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale
Discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and represents a major line of business.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through a sale (rather than through continuing use) when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset (or disposal group) and the sale is highly probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(y) Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the profit before tax excluding exceptional items for the effects of:
• changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
• non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and
• all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items which are not available for general use as at the date of Balance Sheet.
(z) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss after tax and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss after tax and weighted average number of equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
(aa) Key sources of estimation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires that the management of the Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets and liabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The estimates and underlying assumptions made by management are explained under respective policies. Revisions to accounting estimates include useful lives of property, plant and equipment & intangible assets, allowance for expected credit loss, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans, expected cost of completion of contracts, provision for rectification costs, fair value/recoverable amount measurement, tax provisions etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognised in the period in which the results are known.
(ab) Business Combination
Common control business combination is accounted using the pooling of interest method where the Company is transferee. Assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts and no new asset or liability is recognised. Identity of reserves of the transferor company is preserved by reflecting them in the same form in the Company's financial statements in which they appeared in the financial statements of the transferor company. The excess between the amount of consideration paid over the share capital of the transferor company is recognised as a negative amount and the same is disclosed as capital reserve on business combination.
The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements if the business combination date is prior to that date. However, if business combination date is after that date, the financial information in the financial statements is restated from the date of business combination.

NOTE [45]
Disclosure pursuant to Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 19 "Employee Benefits" (contd.) h) Characteristics of defined benefit plans and associated risks:
1 Gratuity plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to fifteen days last salary drawn for each completed year of service. The same is payable on termination of service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. The Company's scheme is more favorable as compared to the obligation under The Code on Social Security, 2020.
The defined benefit plan for gratuity of the Company is administered by separate gratuity funds that are legally separate from the Company. The trustees nominated by the Company are responsible for the administration of the plan. There are no minimum funding requirements of these plans. The funding of these plans are based on gratuity fund's actuarial measurement framework set out in the funding policies of the plan. These actuarial measurements are similar compared to the assumptions set out in (g) supra. Employees do not contribute to any of these plans.
Unfunded gratuity represents a small part of gratuity plan which is not material. Further, the unfunded portion includes amounts payable in respect of the Company's foreign operations which result in gratuity payable to employees engaged as per local laws of country of operation."
2 Post-retirement medical care plan:
The Post-retirement medical benefit plan provides for reimbursement of health care costs to certain categories of employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of the employee at the time of retirement. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.
3 Company's pension plan:
In addition to contribution to state-managed pension plan (EPS scheme), the Company operates a post retirement pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends on the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.
4 Trust managed provident fund plan:
The Company manages provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its employees which is permitted under the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan mandates contribution by employer at a fixed percentage of employee's salary. Employees also contribute to the plan at a fixed percentage of their salary as a minimum contribution and additional sums at their discretion. The plan guarantees interest at the rate notified by Employees' Provident Fund Organisation. The contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
The interest payment obligation of trust-managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the interest income on long term investments of the fund. Any shortfall in the interest income over the interest obligation is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising out of the investment risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognized as expense or income in the period in which such loss/gain occurs.
All the above defined benefit plans expose the Company to general actuarial risks such as interest rate risk and market (investment) risk.

NOTE [52]
Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 107 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": Market risk management
(a) Foreign exchange rate and interest rate risk:
The Company regularly reviews its foreign currency and interest rate related exposures - both hedged and open. The Company primarily follows cash flow hedge accounting for Highly Probable Forecasted Exposures (HPFE), hence, the movement in mark to market (MTM) of the hedge contracts undertaken for such exposures is likely to be offset by contra movements in the underlying exposures values. However, till the point of time that the HPFE becomes an on-balance sheet exposure, the changes in MTM of the hedge contracts will impact the Balance Sheet of the Company. Further, given the effective horizons of the Company's risk management activities which coincide with the durations of the projects under execution, which could extend across 3-4 years and given the business uncertainties associated with the timing and estimation of the project exposures, the recognition of the gains and losses related to these instruments may not always coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may affect the Company's financial condition and operating results. The Company monitors the potential risk arising out of the market factors like exchange rates, interest rates, price of traded investment products etc. on a regular basis. For on-balance Sheet exposures, the Company monitors the risks on net unhedged exposures.
(i) Foreign exchange rate risk:
The Company has both receivable and payable exposures in foreign currency. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may adversely affect the Company's revenues, cost, and profitability. There is a risk that the Company may also have to adjust the local currency product pricing due to competitive pressures when there has been significant volatility in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company may enter foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with existing assets and liabilities, firm commitments , forecasted future cash flows and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has entered, and may enter in future, into non-designated foreign currency
NOTE [52]
Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 107 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": Market risk management (contd)
contracts to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its foreign-denominated debt issuances. The Company's practice is to hedge a portion of its material net foreign exchange exposures with tenors in line with the project/business life cycle. The Company may also choose not to hedge certain foreign exchange exposures.
The net exposure to foreign currency risk (based on notional amount) in respect of recognised financial assets, recognised financial liabilities and derivatives for major categories is as follows:
NOTE [52]
Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 107 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": Market risk management (contd)
(ii) Interest rate risk:
The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's outstanding floating rate debt. While most of the Company's outstanding long-term debt in local currency is on fixed rate basis and hence not subject to interest rate risk. The short-term borrowings\instruments are subject to change in interest rates. A major portion of foreign currency debt is linked to international interest rate benchmarks like SOFR. The Company may hedge a portion of these risks by way of derivatives instruments like interest rate swaps and currency swaps.
(b) Liquidity Risk Management:
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and by having access to funding through adequate committed credit lines. Given the need to fund diverse businesses, the Company maintains flexibility by need based drawing from committed credit lines. Management regularly monitors the position of cash and cash equivalents. The maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities including debt financing plans and liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.
The Company's investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Company's liquidity requirements. The Company uses a combination of internal and external tools to execute its investment strategy and achieve its investment objectives. The Company typically invests in money market funds, large debt funds, Government of India securities, equity funds and other highly-rated securities under a exposure limit framework. The investment policy focuses on minimising the potential risk of principal loss. To provide a meaningful assessment of the price risk associated with the Company's investment portfolio, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of change in prices of the securities on the value of the investment portfolio assuming a 0.5% movement in the fair market value of debt funds and debt securities, a 1% movement in market value of REITs/InvITs and a 5% movement in the NAV of the equity funds as below:
NOTE [52]
Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 107 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": Market risk management (contd)
(c) Credit Risk Management:
The Company's customer profile include public sector enterprises, state owned companies and large private corporates. Accordingly, the Company's customer credit risk is low. The Company's average project execution cycle is around 24 to 36 months. General payment terms include mobilisation advance, monthly progress payments with a credit period ranging from 45 to 90 days and certain retention money to be released at the end of the project. In some cases, retentions are substituted with bank/corporate guarantees. The Company has a detailed review mechanism of overdue customer receivables at various levels within the organisation to ensure proper attention and focus for realisation.
(i) The Company is making provisions on trade receivables based on Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model. The reconciliation of ECL is disclosed in Note [41](c)
(ii) Trade receivable written off during the year but still enforceable for recovery amounts to X 45.39 crore (previous year: Nil)
(d) Commodity price risk management:
The Company bids for and executes EPC projects on a turnkey basis. EPC projects entail procurement of various equipment and materials which may have direct or indirect linkages to commodity prices like steel (both long and flat steel), copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, cement etc. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to the price risk on these commodities. To mitigate the risk of commodity prices, the company relies on contractual provisions like pass through of prices, price variation provisions etc., and further uses hedging instruments where available (refer Note 53 (e)(iii)). There is a certain residual risk carried by the Company that cannot be hedged against.
The Company is also exposed to contingent risk on account of commodity price movements that may not be fully offset by contractual provisions in the projects that it has bid for but which are not awarded yet. Commodity prices have been volatile and have witnessed substantial two-way movements during the financial year. This may impact the margin on projects where the Company has submitted bids on a firm price basis. However, for projects where the Company is eligible for an adjustment, based on price variation clause, the actual impact will depend on the exact project wins and the relative contractual provisions therein.
The table given in the Risk Management section of Management Discussion and Analysis lists out the commodity exposure for the year (only for projects that been awarded and are under execution).
