Critical judgements in determining the lease term

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). For leases of Land or Building and equipment, the following factors are normally the most relevant:

-    If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not extend), the Company is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate);

-    If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Company is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate);

-    The Company also considers other factors including the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset;

-    Most extension options in the leases have not been included in the lease liability, because the Company could replace the assets without significant cost or business disruption.

Notes:

* The Company has received a demand and a show cause notice amounting to ' 239.00 Crore and ' 244.64 Crore respectively with respect to liability on account of royalty payable on Murrum used in one of the projects. Subsequent to the show cause notice, the Company has obtained a stay order on the same. Further, based on legal opinion, the Company expects that the claim is highly unlikely to materialise.

The Company has implemented the decision given in the Supreme Court Judgement in case of "Vivekananda Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal" and the related circular (Circular No. C-I/1 (33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya Mandir/284) dated 20th March, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 w.e.f. 1st April, 2019. Basis the assessment of the management, which is supported by legal advice, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have significant impact in respect of earlier periods.

a. Defined contribution plan

(i)    Provident fund

(ii)    Superannuation fund

(iii)    State defined contribution plans

The provident fund and the state defined contribution plan are operated by the regional provident fund commissioner and the superannuation fund is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits.

The total expense recognised in statement of profit or loss of ' 70.40 Crore (for the year ended 31st March, 2024 ' 64.30 Crore) represents contributions payable to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plans.

b. Defined benefit plans(i) Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 4 years and 240 days are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service without any ceiling limit as given under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

Whereas on death of an employee the amount of gratuity payable is amount equivalent to one month salary, payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months in terms of Gratuity scheme of the Company or as per payment of the Gratuity Act, whichever is higher.

The gratuity plan of the Company is funded and the Company accounts for gratuity benefits payable in future based on an independent external actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year using Projected Unit Credit Method.

Investment risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting year on government bonds.

Interest risk

A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.

Longevity risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

The risk relating to benefits to be paid to the dependants of plan members (widow and orphan benefits) is re-insured by an external insurance company.

No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.

In respect of the plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at 31st March, 2025 by an actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

The Company pays premium of ' 9.68 Crore (Previous year ' 13.23 Crore) to the group gratuity scheme of LIC and the fund is managed by LIC

(v)    Sensitivity Analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting year, while holding all other assumptions constant.

1)    If the discount rate is 100 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by ' 6.00 Crore (increase by ' 6.80 Crore) (as at 31st March, 2024: decrease by ' 6.82 Crore (increase by ' 7.92 Crore)).

2)    If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 1%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by ' 6.65 Crore (decrease by ' 5.98 Crore) (as at 31st March, 2024: decrease by ' 7.78 Crore (increase by ' 6.83 Crore)).

3)    If the employee turnover increases (decreases) by one year, the defined benefit obligation would decrease by ' 0.78 Crore (increase by ' 0.85 Crore) (as at 31st March, 2024: decrease by ' 0.67 Crore (increase by ' 0.73 Crore)).

(vi)    Sensitivity analysis method

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting year, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

The average duration of the benefit obligation at 31st March, 2025 is 8 years (as at 31st March, 2024: 12 years).

The Company expects to make a contribution of ' 18.69 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 12.00 Crore) to the defined benefit plans during the next financial year.

d. Compensated Absences

The liability for Compensated absences (non-funded) as at year end is ' 61.58 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024 ' 57.67 Crore) covers the Company’s liability for sick and privilege leave and is presented as current liabilities, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of any of these obligations.

The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

NOTE-36 : AFCONS GUNANUSA JOINT VENTURE (AGJV)

AGJV had submitted claims to ONGC, arising on account of cost overruns due to change orders, in terms of the provisions of the contract. The Joint venture has invoked arbitration in respect of the aforesaid change orders. Claims against change orders and counter claims by ONGC aggregating to approx. ' 400.00 Crore is currently being discussed in arbitration and cross examination of Claimant's witness is being carried out in arbitration.

Based on the assessment, historical experience in similar circumstances and technical evaluation of the aforesaid matters related to claims and counter claims, carried out by Joint Venture's management, after considering the current facts and status of proceedings in arbitration as of date, which is supported by legal opinion, management of joint venture is of the view that the "amount due from customer under construction contract" of ' 124.05 Crore as on 31st March, 2025 (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 124.05 Crore) is appropriate and no provision is required to be made as these have been considered as good and fully recoverable by the Management. However, considering that the arbitration proceedings are ongoing, the duration and outcome is uncertain.

NOTE-37 : TRANSTONNELSTROY AFCONS JOINT VENTURE (TAJV)

The Transtonnelstroy Afcons Joint Venture ("the JV") had submitted variations to the client for two projects (package UAA-01 and package UAA-05) arising on account of cost overruns, due to unforeseen geological conditions, delays in handing over of land and change in scope of work etc., in terms of the provisions of the contract with the Chennai Metro Rail Limited ("the client"), which the Management believes is attributable to the client.

During FY 2021-22, Arbitration Panel issued a unanimous award in favour of Joint Venture granting extension of time in terms of number of days (the "claim no. 1 and 2"). The Arbitral Awards on Extension of Time matters (Claim No. 1 and 2) of Contract UAA-01 and UAA-05 were challenged by CMRL before the Ld. Single Judge of Madras High Court and succeeded. The order of the Ld. Single Judge was then challenged by TTA JV before the Hon'ble Division Bench and the same was dismissed vide order dated 1st February, 2023. The said order of the Hon'ble Division Bench has been challenged before the Hon'ble Supreme Court by TTA JV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court was pleased to admit the SLP filed by TTA JV and the same is registered as Civil Appeal. An early hearing application is filed by TTAJV to list the matters early. However, the Hon'ble Supreme Court did not allow the said application.

Based on the assessment made, both the orders were not challenged by CMRL on the Merits of the Arbitral Award but on the alleged procedural lapses on part of the Tribunal (i.e., no opportunity provided to CMRL on account of two particular documents sought by the Tribunal from TTA JV). Further, the Ld. Single Judge in its Order has also granted liberty to the Parties to go back to the existing Tribunal to get opportunity on the two documents. Also, the Hon'ble Division bench after hearing prima facie case has sought consent of parties on remanding the matter to the same Tribunal. However, since CMRL did not agree for consenting to the same and also the Hon'ble bench does not have special power to direct the parties to go before the same Tribunal, the Hon'ble bench proceeded to hear the matter and pronounced the order. Arbitration proceedings related to claims for cost of extension of time granted in claim no. 1 and 2 and related cost i.e. Claim No. 3 and 3A along with EOT claimed beyond Arbitration Award and associated cost, forming part of Claim No 8 have been kept on hold and shall be initiated based on outcome Civil Appeal of the SLP filed with Hon'ble Supreme Court. Disputes related to release of withheld amount, release of retained amount, refund of amount encashed against Bank Guarantees amounting to ' 25.77 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 25.77 Crore) and issuance of final taking over certificate (the "claim no. 8") were being heard before arbitration tribunal. Further, there are counter claims submitted by CMRL amounting ' 1,945.81 Crore. The counterclaims lodged by CMRL arose due to the alleged defective works in the tunnelling i .e. excessive steps and lips in the Tunnel Rings. The Counter claims are mainly towards the contingencies that CMRL may have to incur in future in the form of Rectification works, Loss of revenue and additional maintenance costs during the intended design life due to the said alleged defects in the tunnelling works. On 2nd August, 2024 and 16th August, 2024 Arbitral Tribunal has passed unanimous award pertaining to the Project i.e. UAA 01 and UAA 05 respectively where Claim no. 8 - counter claim of CMRL pertaining to package UAA 01 and UAA 05 to the tune of ' 1,945.81 Crore. was rejected and also confirmed the effective date for issuance of Taking over certificate and issuance of Performance certificate by CMRL. In the earlier years, Joint Venture had received two favourable arbitration awards, amounting ' 106.64 Crore and ' 14.67 Crore in few of the other matters. The Client has challenged these arbitration awards before the Hon'ble High Court, Madras. Pending disposal of these matters in the court, client has, upon submission of the bank guarantee by the Joint Venture, deposited part of the award amount with the Joint Venture, pursuant to an interim stay order from Hon'ble High Court, Madras. The arbitration awards amounting to ' 120.81 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 120.81 Crore) and interest

on arbitration award of ' 30.63 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 30.63 Crore) has been recognised as "Non-current Trade Receivables", "Other non-current financial assets - Interest on Trade Receivables as per Arbitration Awards" respectively, and the amount of ' 79.28 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 79.28 Crore) received against such award has been recognised as "Other Non-current Liabilities -Contract Liabilities- Advances from customers". During the current year single bench of High court has passed judgment on 21st June, 2024 and 31st January, 2025, setting aside the Arbitration Award of 106.64 Crore and ' 14.67 Crore respectively. TTA JV made an appeal to Division Bench High Court against the Order which is listed and posted for final hearing on 06th June 2025.

Based on the assessment, historical experience in similar circumstances and technical evaluation of the aforesaid matters related to claims and counter claims , carried out by Joint Venture’s management, after considering the current facts and status of negotiation/amicable settlement with the client/ proceedings in arbitration, High Court and Supreme Court as of date, which is supported by legal opinion, management of Joint Venture is of the view that the "amount due from customer under construction contracts" recorded in the books of accounts is based on cost actually incurred and so claimed but not duly compensated. Management of joint venture is confident of getting favourable order/ award and is of the opinion that amount of ' 659.87 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 659.87 Crore) recognised towards such variations/ claims in 'Amounts due from customers under construction contracts’ as non-current assets, an amount of ' 120.81 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 120.81 Crore) towards the arbitration award recognised as 'Non-current Trade Receivables’, an amount of ' 30.63 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 30.63 Crore) interest on arbitration award as "Other non-current financial assets - Interest on Trade Receivables as per Arbitration Awards" and an amount of ' 25.77 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 25.77 Crore) bank guarantee encashed by client as "Other financial assets- non-current: Other Receivables", is appropriate and the same is considered as good and fully recoverable. Joint Venture management does not anticipate any loss to be recognised or contingent liability to be disclosed at this stage. However, considering that the negotiation, proceedings in arbitration, High Court and Supreme Court are ongoing, the duration and outcome is uncertain.

NOTE-38 : DAHEJ STANDBY JETTY PROJECT UNDERTAKING (DJPU)

Management of Dahej Standby Jetty Project Undertaking ("DJPU") has submitted variations towards the amount of claims in terms of the provisions of the contract, which were not approved by the Petronet LNG Limited ("the client"). During FY 2018-19, management has invoked arbitration for settlement of their claims against the client.

During the earlier year, an unfavourable award was granted in Arbitration, towards claims of liquidated damages for delay in completion of works by Joint Venture for ' 79.28 Crore (including interest of ' 20.45 Crore). Client has subsequently encashed the bank guarantees given by a Joint Venturer Partner, Afcons Infrastructure Limited of ' 79.28 Crore and recovered the award amount. The amount of encashed Bank Guarantee has been recorded by the Joint Venture as Other Receivables from customer (Other non-current assets) and Payable to JV Partner (non-current borrowings). Thereafter, the Joint Venture has filed petition at Hon’ble High Court, Delhi for setting aside the unfavourable award and also submitted claims for additional cost incurred w.r.t extended stay and acceleration cost, considering that the delay is attributable to the client and in terms of the contractual provisions. This petition is admitted by Hon’ble High Court, Delhi and hearings is currently in process. The Hon’ble High Court Delhi on 22nd November 2022 directed client to submit an undertaking signed by President (Finance) of client, to the effect that it shall restitute the entire amount in the event Joint Venture succeeds in its challenge to the award. The next hearing is scheduled on 22nd July, 2025.

Based on the assessment, historical experience in similar circumstances and technical evaluation of the aforesaid matters related to claims, carried out by Joint Venture’s management, after considering the current facts and status of proceedings in High Court as of date, which is supported by legal opinion, management of Joint Venture is of the view that the amount recoverable from the client of ' 79.28 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024 : ' 79.28 Crore) disclosed as 'Other Receivables’ and the 'amount due from customer under construction contract’ of ' 11.10 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024: 11.10 Crore) is appropriate and no further provision for aforesaid claims and receivables is required to be made as these have been considered as good and fully recoverable by the Management. However, considering that the proceedings in High Court are ongoing, the duration and outcome is uncertain.

(a)    The Company has been legally advised that outstanding interest free advances aggregating to ' 894.68 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024'858.14 Crore) before elimination made towards financing the unincorporated joint operations do not come under the purview of Section 186 of Companies Act, 2013 as the Company is in the business of constructing and developing infrastructure facilities.

(b)    In view of non-applicability of section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, the details of particulars required to be made thereunder in the financial statements are not applicable in relation to loan made, guarantee given or security provided. For investments made refer to Note no. 4.

NOTE-40 : CHENAB BRIDGE PROJECT UNDERTAKING ("CBPU")

The Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) issued a contract for the construction of a Steel Arch Bridge across the Chenab River on 24th August, 2004. The project has faced various delays due to revisions in the design basis note (DBN), changes to the arch span, and delays in finalising slope stabilisation and various specifications related to works. These changes were primarily initiated by KRCL, which the management believes are the root causes of the delays and additional expenses incurred by the Company.

As a result of these delays and changes, the Company has raised claims for the period upto June 2013, in arbitration proceedings, seeking reimbursement for additional expenses incurred, including loss of productivity, extended stay costs, categorisation of excavation works, change in alignment of the project. However, the majority of these claims were dismissed unfavourably by the Special Arbitral Tribunal. These unfavourable awards are currently under challenge in the Hon’ble Bombay High Court.

Claims beyond July 2013 are currently being adjudicated by a Standing Arbitral Tribunal mutually appointed by both parties (the Company and KRCL). The costs arising from the extended duration of the project caused by the delays attributable to KRCL, which is one of the key claims under adjudication. Further, a key claim involves increased quantities of structural steel due to changes in the design. In the process of negotiation with KRCL, a committee was appointed by KRCL through the Railway Board has submitted recommendations that favour the Company. However, KRCL has declined to implement these recommendations, and as a result, this matter has been referred to the Standing Arbitral Tribunal for further adjudication.

As of 31st March 2025, the Company has recorded an amount of ' 192.92 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024, '192.92 Crore) as "Amount due from customer under construction contract" in its books. This includes ' 115.00 Crore related to the increase in steel quantities due to design changes. This amount reflects costs that have been incurred by the Company but have not been compensated by KRCL. This amount is claimed by the Company based on costs actually incurred, and despite the ongoing arbitration and legal proceedings, the Company is confident of recovering the full amount.

The Company’s management is optimistic about obtaining a favourable judgment in the ongoing arbitration proceedings, as well as the appeal in the Bombay High Court. This optimism is based on the historical experience in similar contract disputes, legal opinion indicating a likely favourable outcome and the technical evaluation of the claims, which suggests that the claims are reasonable and likely to be upheld.

However, given that the arbitration and High Court proceedings are still ongoing, the duration and outcome remain uncertain. Therefore, the ultimate realisation of the amount due from KRCL is subject to consequences associated with the arbitration and legal processes.

The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes 14 and 20) offset by cash and bank balances and total equity of the Company.

The Company reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the Company considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

NOTE-49.3 : FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

The Company’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk assessment and analyses forex exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The risk management is governed by the Company’s policy approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed on a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

NOTE-49.4 : MARKET RISK

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

NOTE-49.5 : FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions in various countries. Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency ('). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

NOTE-49.5.1 : FOREIGN CURRENCY SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The Company is mainly exposed to the currency of USD, EURO, BDT, GHS, ZMW, MUR, MZN, MRU and MVR.

The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Indian Rupee against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on receivable and payables in the Company at the end of the reporting year. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in the profit or equity where the Indian Rupee strengthens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the Rupee against the relevant currency , there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative. The impact of 5 % is also applicable on outstanding foreign currency loans as on the reporting date.

NOTE-49.5.2 : DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

There are no derivative financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting year.

NOTE-49.6 : INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Company borrow foreign currency and local currency funds at floating interest rates. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.

NOTE-49.6.1 : INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and nonderivative instruments at the end of the reporting year. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's profit for the twelve month ended 31st March, 2025 would decrease/increase by ' 4.21 Crore (31st March, 2024: decrease/ increase by ' 4.17 Crore). This is mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

NOTE-49.7 : OTHER PRICE RISKS

The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Certain of the Company's equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes.

NOTE-49.7.1 : EQUITY PRICE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting year.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower:

NOTE-49.8 : CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk arises from investment in debt instruments, loans, trade receivables, other receivables, cash and bank balance and derivate financial instruments.

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, trade receivables and loan receivables. The exposure to credit risks arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits are held with only high rated banks/financial institutions, credit risk on them is therefore insignificant.

Trade receivables and loan receivable

The Company assesses and manages credit risk on an internal credit evaluation system. It is performed by the finance team in conjunction with the relevant business teams depending on the nature and type of the financial asset being evaluated.

The customer base of the Company highly comprises of government parties. Further, Company is having certain short term loan receivables from the Group entities. Collateral is generally not obtained from customers. Other customers are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation.

(A)    To measure the expected credit losses on (a) trade receivables from government parties, and (b) trade receivables and loan receivables from group companies, they have been considered to enjoy the low credit risk as they meet the following criteria:

i)    they have a low risk of default,

ii)    the counterparty is considered, in the short term, to have a strong capacity to meet its obligations in the near term, and

iii)    the Company expect, in the longer term, that adverse changes in economic and business conditions might, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfill its obligations.

(B)    Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits are held with only high rated banks/financial institutions, credit risk on them is therefore insignificant.

(C)    For other trade receivables (including contract assets), the Company applies 'Expected Credit Loss’ model for recognising impairment loss on trade receivables as well as contract asset

The measurement of ECL depends on whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. These credit risk are regularly monitored based on historic turnover activity and credit performance of every customer. In addition, overdue receivable balances are monitored and actioned on a regular basis. When the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, a provision shall be made for the 12-month expected loss, otherwise shall be made for the entire lifetime.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there is a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information which considers multiple factors such as:

-    internal credit rating

-    external credit rating (as far as available)

-    actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations

-    actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower

-    significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower

-    significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements

-    significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group and changes

in the operating results of the borrower.

The Company has used practical expedient by computing expected credit loss allowance for trade receivable by taking into consideration payment profiles of sales over a period of 60 months before the reporting date and the corresponding historical credit loss experiences within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macro economic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The

expected credit loss is based on the Ageing of the days, the receivables due and the expected credit loss rate. In addition, in case of event driven situation as litigations, disputes, change in customer's credit risk history, specific provisions are made after evaluating the relevant facts and expected recovery.

Refer note 5 and note 8 for reconciliation of expected credit loss balance on financial assets.

NOTE-49.9 : LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the management, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short-term, medium-term, and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

NOTE-49.9.1: LIQUIDITY RISK TABLE

The following table details the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include principal cash flows along with interest. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to guarantees given. The Company's maximum exposure in this respect is the maximum amount the Company could have to pay if the guarantee is called on. Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the Company considers that it is more likely that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement. However, this estimate is subject to change depending on the probability of the counterparty claiming under the guarantee which is a function of the likelihood that the beneficiary under the guarantee may default.

For Contractual maturities of lease liabilities refer note 51 (iii).

NOTE-49.10 : FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.

(ii) Unsatisfied performance obligations:

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligation that are unsatisfied as at the end of reporting period is ' 39,538.36 Crore (as at 31st March, 2024'35,631.26 Crore). Management expects that about 40% of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied contracts as of 31st March, 2025 will be recognised as revenue during next 12 months depending upon the progress of each contracts. The remaining amount is expected to be recognised in subsequent years.

* The contract assets and liabilities undergo a change periodically, due to changes in the contractual estimates for the projects on account of any change in scope of work, unprecedented delays, etc. During the year the Company has additionally recognised a loss allowance for contract assets in accordance with Ind AS 109.

(i)    Contract assets represents balances due from customers under construction contracts that arise when the aggregate of contract cost incurred to date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses as the case may be) exceeds the progress billing.

(ii)    Contract liabilities relating to construction contracts are balances due to customers, these arise when a particular milestone payment exceeds the revenue recognised to date under the input method and advance received in long term construction contracts. The amount of advance received gets adjusted over the construction period as and when invoicing is made to the customer

(v)    Extension and termination options

Extension and termination options are included in a number of Land, Office Premises, Houses and Godowns leases across the Company. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company’s operation. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Company and not by the respective lessor.

(vi)    Practical expedients applied :

In applying Ind AS 116, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

-    applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics

-    accounting for operating leases with term less than 12 months as short-term leases

-    using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains option to extend or terminate the lease

-    excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

(vii)    The lessee’s range of weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities for the entire group was 9.25%.

(viii)    Lessor accounting

The Company did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor under operating leases as a result of the adoption of Ind AS 116.
