2.3 Material accounting policies information
a. Current versus non-current classification
The Company segregates assets and liabilities into current and non-current categories for presentation in the
balance sheet after considering its normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS 1, “Presentation of
Financial Statements”. For this purpose, current assets and liabilities include the current portion of non-current
assets and liabilities respectively.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents. The Company has identified period up to twelve months as its operating cycle.
b. Foreign currencies
The Company’s standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (?), which is also the Company’s
functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount
the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in statement of
profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss
arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the
gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or
loss is recognised in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’) or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or
loss, respectively.
c. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
Ý In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
Ý In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Ý Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Ý Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable.
Ý Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis,
the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at
the end of each reporting period.
The Company management determines the policies and procedures for recurring and non-recurring fair value
measurement. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by management. The management
decides after discussion with external valuers, about valuation technique and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the Company’s management analyses the movements in the values of assets and
liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. For
this analysis, the Company verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information
in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents. The Company, in conjunction with the
Company’s external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant
external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as
explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the
relevant notes
Ý Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions [refer Note 3 and 42)
Ý Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy [refer Note 43];
Ý Investment properties [refer Note 2.3 (h)];
Ý Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) [refer Note 2.3(q)].
d. Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods or services
is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The policy of recognising the revenue is determined by the
five-stage model specified by Ind AS 115 “Revenue from contract with customers”.
i. Sale of equipment
Revenue from sale of equipment is recognised in the statement of profit and loss at the point in time when
control of the goods is transferred to the buyer as per the terms of the respective sales order, generally
on dispatch of the goods.
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price
allocated to that performance obligation. In determining the transaction price for the sale of equipment,
the Company considers the effects of:
Ý Variable consideration: The contracts for sale of equipment provide customers with a right for
compensation in case of delayed delivery or commissioning and in some contracts compensation for
performance shortfall expected in future over the life of the guarantee. The Company estimates the
amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer.
Ý Existence of significant financing component: Generally, the Company receives short-term advances
from its customers. Using the practical expedient as per Ind AS 115, the Company does not adjust the
promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at
contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer
and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Ý Consideration payable to the customer (if any): The Company considers whether there are other
promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction
price needs to be allocated (e.g. warranties). At the time of equipment sale, the Company provides
operations and maintenance warranty for a standard period for all contracts and extended warranty
beyond standard period in few contracts existed at the time of sale. These service-type warranties
are bundled together with the sale of equipment. Contracts for bundled sales of goods and a service-
type warranty comprise two performance obligations because the promises to transfer the equipment
and to provide the service-type warranty are capable of being distinct. Using the relative stand-alone
selling price method, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and
recognised as a contractual liability. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under Ind AS
37, refer Note 20. Revenue is recognised over the period in which the service-type warranty is provided
based on the time elapsed.
ii. Operation and maintenance service income (‘OMS’)
Revenues from operation and maintenance contracts are recognised pro-rata over the period of the contract
and when services are rendered.
iii. Project execution
Revenue from project execution consisting of installation, erection and commissioning of WTG’s is
recognised on completion of the respective activities identified as per terms of the sales order, net of
taxes charged.
iv. Power evacuation infrastructure facilities (‘PE’)
Revenue from power evacuation infrastructure facilities is recognised at a point in time upon commissioning
and electrical installation of the WTG to the said facilities followed by approval for commissioning of WTG
from the concerned authorities.
v. Land
Revenue from land lease activity is recognised upon the transfer of leasehold rights to the customers.
Revenue from sale of land / right to sale land is recognised at the point in time when control of goods is
transferred to the customer as per the terms of the respective sales order/ agreement. Revenue from land
development is recognised upon rendering of the service as per the terms of the respective sales order.
vi. Power generation
I ncome from power generation is recognised on sale of unit generated and invoiced to respective state
electricity board.
vii. Sale of services
Revenue from sale of services is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as and when the services
are rendered and when the Company has enforceable right to payment for services transferred.
Contract balances
Contract assets: A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred
to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the
customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned
consideration that is conditional.
Trade receivables: A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer
to accounting policies of financial assets in section (q) Financial instruments - initial recognition and
subsequent measurement.
Contract liabilities: A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which
the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a
customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract
liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract
liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Refund liabilities: A refund liability is recognised for the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration
received (or receivable) from the customer. The Company’s refund liabilities arise from customers’ right of
return and volume rebates. The Company updates its estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding
change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period.
e. Interest income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate
(EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected
life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the
financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the
Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument
(for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Interest income on deposits is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding
and the rate applicable. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.
f. Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to
the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised either in OCI
or in equity. Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly
in equity. Management periodically evaluates the positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in
which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities (‘DTL’) are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
Ý When the DTL arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not
a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable
profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
Ý In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and
interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and
it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets (‘DTA’) are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused
tax credits and any unused tax losses. DTA are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits
and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
Ý When the DTA relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences.
Ý In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint ventures, DTA is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary
differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of DTA is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the DTA to be utilised. Unrecognised
DTA is re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that
future taxable profits will allow the DTA to be recovered.
DTA and DTL are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or
the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date. DTA and DTL are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised either in OCI or
in equity.
g. Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’) and Capital work-in-progress (‘CWIP’)
PPE are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Such cost
includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment, transportation cost and borrowing costs for
long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment
are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific
useful lives.
CWIP comprises of the cost of PPE that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the balance sheet date.
CWIP is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and
equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss when they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on the written down value method (‘WDV’) based on the useful lives and residual values
estimated by the management in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. For certain assets,
the Company applies different useful lives than those specified in Schedule II, based on a technical evaluation
by experts and management’s assessment. The management considers these estimates to be reasonable and a
fair reflection of the expected period of use of the assets. The identified components are depreciated separately
over their useful lives; the remaining components are depreciated over the life of the principal PPE.
Gains or losses arising from de recognition of PPE are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset on the date of disposal and are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognised. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation
of PPE are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
h. Investment properties
Investment property comprises property held under a lease, completed property (land or a building or part of a
building or both) and property under development or re-development that is held, or to be held, to earn rentals
or for capital appreciation or both. It does not include property held use in the production or supply of goods or
services or for administrative purposes, nor it includes property held for sale in the ordinary course of business.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the
recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment properties are required to be replaced at
intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The Company depreciates building component of investment property over 58 years from the date of original
purchase / date of capitalisation. Though the Company measures investment properties using cost- based
measurement, the fair value of investment properties is disclosed in the notes.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in statement of profit and loss in
the period of de-recognition.
Transfers are made to (or from) investment properties only when there is a change in use. Transfers between
investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the
property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.
i. Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets
acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses,
if any. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the
related expenditure is reflected in statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the useful economic life which generally does not
exceed five years and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may
be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at the end of each
reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate,
and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite
life is recognized in the statement of profit and loss under the head Depreciation and amortization expense.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and
loss when the asset is derecognised.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised
as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
Ý The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale,
Ý Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset,
Ý How the asset will generate future economic benefits,
Ý The availability of resources to complete the asset,
Ý The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less
any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when
development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised on a straight-ine basis over the period
of expected future benefit from the related project, i.e., the estimated useful life. Amortisation is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
j. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of
the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs
consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing
cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
k. Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
• Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, 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.
i. Right-of-use assets (ROU assets)
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and vehicles. The Company
recognises ROU assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available
for use). ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease
liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement
date less any lease incentives received. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU assets
are also subject to impairment. Refer Note 2.3(m) for the accounting policies.
ii. Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less
any lease incentives receivable. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its
borrowing rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates at
the lease commencement date. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased
to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change
in the lease payments.
iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leased asset (i.e., those
leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a
purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are
considered to be low value. For the short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
• Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of
the asset is classified as operating lease. Assets subject to operating leases other than land, building and
vehicles are included in PPE. Lease income on an operating lease is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation, are recognised as an
expense in the statement of profit and loss.
l. Inventories
Inventories of raw materials including components, project materials, stock in trade, stores and spares and
consumables, packing materials, semi-finished goods, components, work-in-progress, project work-in¬
progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Inventories
held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in
which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of inventory is determined
on a moving weighted average basis.
Inventories include some materials that are repaired as well as repairable as at the balance sheet date. Net
realisable value of such materials is determined considering the remaining useful life of the material after
repairs based on the technical estimates.
The cost of work-in-progress, semi-finished goods and finished goods includes the cost of material, labour
and a proportion of overheads. Project work-in-progress includes cost of civil, electrical line, installation
of WTG’s and portion of non-utilised charges paid for capacity allocation, PE facilities which are in process
as at the balance sheet date.
Inventories of land and land lease rights is valued at lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Cost
is determined on average basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
m. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If
any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the
asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s
(‘CGU’) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless
the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of
assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared
separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and
forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is
calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond
periods covered by the most recent budgets/ forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the
budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified.
In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or
country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful
life. Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to OCI.
For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.
The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting periods is reversed if there has been a change in estimates
of recoverable amount. The carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would
have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually as at year end.
Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs)
to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
The Company assesses whether climate risks, including physical risks and transition risks could have a significant
impact. If so, these risks are included in the cash-flow forecasts in assessing value-in-use amounts.
