2.22 Provisions and Contingencies
a) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
b) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of the management / independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
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 or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Information on contingent liability is disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise 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 Company. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when inflow of economic benefits is probable on the basis of judgment of management. These are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the financial statements.
2.23 Share capital and Other Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Self-insurance reserve is created @ 0.12% p.a. on Original Gross Block of Property, Plant and Equipment (including considered as Lease receivables) and value of Inventory except ROU assets and assets covered under insurance as at the end of the year by appropriation of current year profit to mitigate future losses from un-insured risks and for taking care of contingencies in future by procurement of towers and other transmission line materials including strengthening of towers and equipment of AC substation. The Reserve created as above is shown as "Self Insurance Reserve" under 'Other Equity'.
2.24 Prior Period Items
Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for prior period presented in which the error occurred or if the error occurred before the
earliest period presented, by restating the opening balance sheet.
2.25 Operating Segments
The Board of Directors is the Company's 'Chief Operating Decision Maker' or 'CODM' within the meaning of Ind AS 108 'Operating Segments'. CODM monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.
The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products / services.
• Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment transactions.
• Expenses that are directly identifiable with / allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
• Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.
• Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.
• Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets.
2.26 Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the shareholders and weighted average number of equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
Additionally, basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the earnings amounts excluding the movements in Regulatory Deferral Account Balances.
2.27 Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash flows is prepared as per indirect method prescribed in the Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'.
2.28 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and Discontinued Operation
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only 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 assets (or disposal groups) and its sale is highly probable.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and presented separately in the Balance Sheet. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of de¬ recognition.
A discontinued operation is a component of the company that comprises the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company which either has been disposed of, or classified as held for sale, and
• represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
• is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
• is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss.
2.29 Business Combinations
Business combinations involving entities that are controlled by the Company are accounted for using the pooling of interest method wherein the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts and no adjustments are made to reflect fair values or recognise any new assets or liabilities.
The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. However, where the business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information is restated only from that date. The balance of the retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is aggregated with the corresponding balance appearing in the financial statements of the transferee. The identity of the reserves is preserved, and the reserves of the transferor become the reserves of the transferee. The difference, if any, between the amounts recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve.
3. Critical Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which may significantly vary from the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgment while applying the company's accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgments are:
Revenue Recognition:
Transmission income is accounted for based on tariff orders notified by the CERC. In case of transmission projects where final tariff orders are yet to be notified, transmission income is accounted for as per tariff regulations and other orders of the CERC in similar cases. Differences, if any, are accounted on issuance of final tariff orders by the CERC. Transmission income in respect of additional capital expenditure incurred after the date of commercial operation is accounted for based on expenditure incurred on year to year basis as per CERC tariff regulations.
Regulatory Deferral Balances:
Recognition of Regulatory Deferral Balances involves significant judgments including about future tariff regulations since these are based on estimation of the amounts expected to be recoverable/payable through tariff in future.
Estimation of defined benefit obligation:
Estimation of defined benefit obligation involves certain significant actuarial assumptions which are listed in Note 63.
Estimates and judgments are periodically evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Useful life of property, plant and equipment:
The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.
The Company reviews at the end of each reporting date the useful life of plant and equipment, other than the assets of transmission business which are governed by CERC Regulations, and are adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Provisions and contingencies:
The assessments undertaken in recognising provisions and contingencies have been made in accordance with Ind AS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets". The evaluation of the likelihood of the contingent events has required best judgment by management regarding the probability of exposure to potential loss. Should circumstances change following unforeseeable developments, this likelihood could alter.
Assets held for sale:
Significant judgment is required to apply the accounting of non-current assets held for sale under Ind AS 105 - "Noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations". In assessing the applicability, management has exercised judgment to evaluate the availability of the asset for immediate sale, management's commitment for the sale and probability of sale within one year to conclude if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
Income Taxes:
Significant estimates are involved in determining the provision for current and deferred tax, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.

** The Central Commission vide order dated 06/04/2015 in Petition No.127/2012 had directed that 80% of the acquisition price incurred by the Company for Vemagiri Transmission Company Limited (VTSL) shall be reimbursed by the Long-Term Transmission Customers (LTTCs) and balance 20% along with the expenditure incurred by VTSL from the date of acquisition till the liquidation of the company shall be borne by the Company. Aggrieved thereby, the Company filed a Review Petition, wherein Central Commission, vide order dated 20.10.2016, observed that there were sufficient grounds to reconsider the Company's liability towards the 20% acquisition cost. Accordingly, Central Commission directed that the issue of the Company's liability shall be decided afresh, after the final disposal of the appeals pending before the Hon'ble Tribunal for Electricity.
Before the Hon'ble Tribunal, the matter underwent multiple hearings between 2020 and 2024. Hon'ble Tribunal finally pronounced the judgment on 22.07.2025 wherein it held that Company is not liable to bear the acquisition cost paid by it under compelling circumstances and that such acquisition cost is required to be borne by RECPDCL (erstwhile RECPTCL). Accordingly, Hon'ble Tribunal remanded matter back to Central Commission with a direction to take appropriate measures in accordance with law to give effect to the same. Aggrieved by the said judgment, RECPDCL filed Civil Appeal Nos. 11011-11013 of 2025 before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, by order dated 10.10.2025, dismissed the appeals and upheld the Hon'ble Tribunal's order dated 22.07.2025, observing that no ground was made out to interfere with the remand issued on the principles of fairness and restitution.
Thereafter, the matter was heard by the Central Commission in remand proceedings, wherein Company submitted that it was entitled for principal acquisition cost Rs. 18.27 crores , carrying cost amounting to Rs. 31.52 crores calculated for period of date of acquisition, i.e., 18.04.2012 to 31.12.2025, operational cost relating to SPV expenditure amounting to Rs. 1.21 crores and legal expenditure incurred. However, the Central Commission, vide its order dated 07.03.2026, held that the direction in the Hon'ble Tribunal judgment being limited to adjustment of the acquisition cost paid by Company, it was impermissible to consider Company's claim towards SPV expenditure, carrying cost and litigation costs incurred by Company. Accordingly, it directed RECPDCL to pay only an amount of Rs. 18.27 crores to Company towards the acquisition cost of the SPV within thirty days from the date of the order.
In pursuance of the said order dated 07.03.2026, RECPDCL paid the acquisition cost of Rs.18.27 crores to Company. Company has received the said amount towards SPV acquisition cost on 21.04.2026. Accordingly, the provision for doubtful advances of Rs 18.27 crore has been reversed during the year.
In view of the disallowance, the Company filed an Appeal before the Hon'ble Tribunal on 21.04.2026 vide DFR No. 196 of 2026 on limited grounds confined to the carrying cost, operational cost towards SPV expenditure, and litigation expenses.

51. Disclosures relating to Regulatory Deferral Account Balances
i) Nature of rate regulated activities
The company is mainly engaged in the business of transmission of power. The tariff for transmission of power is determined by the CERC through tariff regulations. The tariff is based on capital cost admitted by CERC and provides for transmission charges recovery of annual fixed cost consisting of Return on equity, Interest on loan capital, Depreciation, interest on working capital and Operation & Maintenance expenses.
ii) Recognition and measurement
FERV arising during the construction period for settlement/translation of monetary items (other than non¬ current loans) denominated in foreign currency to the extent recoverable/payable to the beneficiaries as capital cost as per CERC Tariff Regulations are accounted as Regulatory Deferral Account Balances. In respect of long term foreign currency loan drawn on or after 01 April 2016, exchange difference to the extent recoverable as per CERC Tariff Regulations are recognised as Regulatory Deferral Account Balances. The company expects to recover these amounts through depreciation component of the tariff over the life of the asset or as exchange rate variation on repayment of the loan.
The tariff norms for the block period 2024-2029 notified by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) provide for grossing up of the return on equity based on effective tax rate for the financial year based on the actual tax paid during the year on the transmission income. Accordingly, deferred tax provided during the year ended 31 March 2026 on the transmission income is accounted as 'Deferred Assets against Deferred Tax Liability'. Deferred Assets against Deferred Tax Liability for the year will be reversed in future years (including tax holiday period) when the related deferred tax liability forms a part of current tax.
CERC vide order dated 26 December 2022 has disallowed the claim amounting to S134.16 crore on account of pay revision (2017) which was accounted as Regulatory Deferral Account Balances in earlier years. Accordingly, the company has reversed the amount shown as recoverable from the beneficiaries in the FY 2022-23 under the head Net Movement in Regulatory Deferral Account Balances-Income/(Expenses)(Net of Tax). An appeal against order dated 26 December 2022 has been filed before Hon'ble Appellate Tribunal for Electricity bearing Appeal No. 236 of 2023. The Appeal has been listed before APTEL on 29 August 2023 and APTEL has included the same in the List of Short Matters. Date of hearing is yet to be notified.
The cumulative amount of f13.77crore (Previous Year f10.50crore) is recoverable on account of other expenses which are not capitalised but allowed as capital cost as per CERC Tariff Regulations and was accounted as Regulatory Deferral Account Balances. Amount of regulatory deferral account balances is on undiscounted basis.
iii) Risk associated with future recovery/ reversal of regulatory deferral account balances
(a) regulatory risk on account of changes in regulations.
(b) other risks including currency or other market risks, if any.
Any change in the Tariff regulations beyond the current tariff period ending on 31 March 2029 may have an impact on the recovery of Regulatory Deferral Account Balances.
The Regulatory Deferral Account Balances (assets) recognised in the books to be recovered from the beneficiaries in future periods are as follows:

The details of CSR expenses for the year are as under:
Investment in mutual funds of f251.22 crore (Previous Year f0.00crore) is measured at FVPL & considered as Level 1 instrument. Replacement cost of Hedging Derivatives at FVTOCI quoted by institutions for similar instruments by employing use of market observable inputs and considered as Level 2 instrument. This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are measured at fair value and financial instruments that are measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents and other current financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. The carrying values for finance lease receivables approximates the fair value as these are periodically evaluated based on credit worthiness of customer and allowance for estimated losses is recorded based on this evaluation.
For financial assets that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity bonds which are traded in the stock exchanges, valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification assets included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year. The company's policy is to recognise transfers into
54. Fair Value Measurement (Contd.)
and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value:
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
• the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 apart from equity instruments of PTC India Limited and units of POWERGRID Infrastructure Investment Trust which is included in Level 1 fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of financial instruments has been determined by an independent valuer.

59. Capital management
a) Risk Management
The company's objectives when managing capital are to
• maximise the shareholder value;
• safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern;
• maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
For the purpose of the company's capital management, equity capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium Account and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the company. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions, regulatory framework and requirements of financial covenants with lenders. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, regulate investments in new projects, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The company monitors capital using debt-equity ratio, which is the ratio of long-term debt to total net worth. The policy is to keep the debt-equity ratio wherein the debt is less than 75% of total capital employed (i.e. debt to equity ratio less than 75:25). Total Borrowings include long term and short-term debt, current maturities of long term debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings against bill discounting.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings denominated in Indian rupees or foreign currencies, trade payables and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's capital investments and operations.
The Company's principal financial assets include loans and advances, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that are generated from its operations.
The Company's activities expose it to the following financial risks, namely,
(a) Credit risk,
(b) Liquidity risk,
(c) Market risk.
This note presents information regarding the company's exposure, objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks.
Risk management framework
The Company has a duly constituted Risk Management Committee headed by Director (Projects) with Director (Operations), Director (Finance) and an independent director as members. For the purpose of evaluating and managing the uncertainties the enterprise faces, Enterprise Risk Management framework has been implemented in the Company. The framework is a structured, consistent and continuous process for identification, assessment, monitoring and management of risks. As per this framework, the significant business processes / risks are monitored and controlled through various Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The Committee meets at regular intervals and reviews KPIs and provides updates to the Audit Committee/Board.
The management of financial risks by the Company is summarised below:
(a) 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. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities on account of trade receivables and loans and advances and from its financing activities due to deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 3 years of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined considering the business environment in which the Company operates and other macro-economic factors.
Assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where such recoveries are made, these are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Trade Receivables and Contract Assets
The Company primarily provides transmission facilities to inter-state transmission service customers (DICs) comprising mainly state utilities owned by State Governments and the main revenue is from transmission charges. CERC (Sharing of Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations, 2020 ("CERC Sharing Regulations") entrusts Central Transmission Utility (CTUIL) with the function of Billing, Collection and disbursement functions on behalf of transmission licensees including POWERGRID.
CERC Sharing regulation allow payment against monthly bills towards transmission charges within due date i.e., 45 days from the date of presentation of the bill and levy of surcharge on delayed payment beyond 45 days. However, in order to improve the cash flows of transmission licensee, CTUIL provides a graded rebate for payments made within 45 days. If a DIC fails to pay any bill or part thereof by the Due Date, the Central Transmission Utility (CTUIL) may encash the Letter of Credit provided by the DIC and utilise the same towards the amount of the bill or part thereof that is overdue plus Late Payment Surcharge, if applicable.
CTUIL has a robust payment security mechanism in the form of Letter of Credit (LC) backed by the Tri¬ Partite Agreements (TPA). The TPA was signed among the GOI, Reserve Bank of India and the individual State Governments subsequent to the issuance of the One Time Settlement Scheme of State Electricity Boards dues during 2001-02 by the GOI. The TPA also provides that if there is any default in payment of current dues by any State Utility and on fulfilment of condition under TPA, the outstanding dues can be deducted from the State's RBI account and paid to the concerned CPSU including POWERGIRD.
As per provisions of CERC Sharing Regulations, in case tripartite agreement exists, the Letter of Credit to be submitted to CTUIL shall be for an amount equal to 1.05 (one point zero five) times the average amount of the first bill of a year; Provided that where such tripartite agreement does not exist, the DIC shall open the Letter of Credit for an amount equal to 2.10 (two point one times) the average amount of the first bill of a year.
In addition to the encashment of letter of credit, on non-payment of outstanding dues, the CTUIL has power to regulate the power supply or deny Short Term Open Access on the defaulting entity as per Electricity (LPS & Related matter) Rules, 2022 notified by Ministry of Power.
Trade receivables consist of receivables relating to transmission services of f10,628.98crore (Previous Year f7,310.28crore), receivables relating to consultancy services of f424.47crore (Previous Year f241.96crore). Contract Assets primarily relates to the Company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and has substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts.
(ii) Other Financial Assets (excluding trade receivables and contract assets)
• Cash and cash equivalents
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of f2,028.17crore (Previous Year f758.80crore). The cash and cash equivalents are held with public sector banks and high rated private sector banks and do not have any significant credit risk.
• Deposits with banks and financial institutions
The Company held deposits with banks and financial institutions of f5,687.45crore (Previous Year f5,823.03crore). Term deposits are placed with scheduled commercial banks and have negligible credit risk.
• Loans
The Company has given loans to employees, subsidiaries, Joint Venture companies. House building loans and conveyance advance to the employees are secured against the mortgage of the house properties or hypothecation of vehicles for which such loans have been given in line with the policies of the Company. The loans provided to group companies are for projects under Tariff Based Competitive Bidding route and Public private partnership. The risk of default in respect of these loans is considered negligible.
(iv) Provision for expected credit losses
(a) Financial assets for which loss allowance is measured using 12 month expected credit losses
The Company has assets where the counter- parties have sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is very low. At initial recognition, financial assets (excluding trade receivables and contract assets) are considered as having negligible credit risk and the risk has not increased from initial recognition. Therefore, no loss allowance for impairment has been recognised except as specified in this note.
(b) Financial assets for which loss allowance is measured using life time expected credit losses
In respect of trade receivables and contract assets from Telecom and Consultancy, customer credit risk is managed by regular monitoring of the outstanding receivables and follow-up with the consumer for realisation. With regard to transmission segment, the Company has customers most of whom are state government utilities with capacity to meet the obligations and therefore the risk of default is negligible. Further, management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are 30 days past due date are still collectible in full, based on the payment security mechanism in place and historical payment behaviour.
Considering the above factors and the prevalent regulations, the trade receivables and contract assets continue to have a negligible credit risk on initial recognition and thereafter on each reporting date.
Movement in impairment majorly involves allowance for impairment amounting to f210.39 crore (Previous Year f51.70 crore) has been provided towards impairment of investment in Energy Efficiency Services Limited. Further, the provision for impairment of investment in National High Power Test Laboratory Private Ltd which was made in previous years has been reassessed & reversed by f 10.88 crore (Previous Year f25.65 crore). Further, an additional provision of f 1 crore has been made towards impairment of investment in Powergrid TLT Private Limited during the year. Based on historic default rates, the Company believes that, apart from the above, no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of any other assets as the amounts are insignificant.
(b) liquidity risk
Liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company monitors its risk of a shortage of funds using a liquidity planning tool. The Company has access to a variety of sources of funding such as commercial paper, bank loans, bonds and external commercial borrowings and retains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
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.
The Company depends on both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital and to fund capital expenditure.
(i) Financial Arrangement
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period.
(c) 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 three types of risk:
(i) Currency risk
(ii) Interest rate risk
(iii) Other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk.
(i) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk mainly in respect of foreign currency denominated loans and borrowings and procurement of goods and services whose purchase consideration is denominated in foreign currency. Transmission tariff is regulated by the CERC. According to the CERC tariff regulations for the block 2024-29 the Company may hedge foreign exchange exposure in respect of the interest on foreign currency loan and repayment of foreign loan acquired for the transmission system, in part or full in its discretion and recover the cost of hedging of foreign exchange rate variation corresponding to the normative foreign debt, in the relevant year.
If hedging of the foreign exchange exposure is not undertaken, the extra rupee liability towards interest payment and loan repayment corresponding to the normative foreign currency loan in the relevant year is permissible to be recovered as part of transmission tariff provided it is not attributable to the generating Company or the transmission licensee or its suppliers or contractors. In respect of goods and services procured for Capital Investment, the exchange rate variation is part of the project cost, for determination of transmission tariff. The currency risk in respect of goods and services procured for operation activities is not significant.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk not hedged by a derivative instrument or otherwise at the end of the reporting period is as follows:
Sensitivity Analysis
Since the impact of strengthening or weakening of Indian rupee against USD, Euro, JPY and other currencies on the statement of profit and loss would not be very significant; therefore, sensitivity analysis for currency risk is not disclosed.
Derivatives and Hedging Classification of derivatives
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates in respect to foreign currency borrowings. Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments
Hedging activities
The primary risks managed using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to various foreign currency risks as explained above. As per Company's Foreign Currency Risk Management Policy, the Company is required to fully hedge foreign currency loans borrowed to fund the projects other than under Regulated Tariff Mechanism.
All these hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Hedge Effectiveness
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts match the terms of hedge items. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange forward contracts are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
Source of Hedge ineffectiveness
In case of foreign currency risk, the main source of hedge ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparty and the Company's own credit risk on the fair value of hedge contracts, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged items. The effect of this is not expected to be material.
Disclosures of effects of Cash Flow Hedge Accounting
Hedging instruments
The Company is holding the following hedging instruments:
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising mainly from long term borrowings with floating interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the cash flows associated with floating rate borrowings will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. The Company manages the interest rate risks by maintaining a debt portfolio comprising a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings in domestic and foreign currencies.
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company's variable interest rate-bearing financial instruments is as follows:
Fair value sensitivity analysis for interest-rate risk
As per CERC Regulations, interest on loan during construction forms part of project cost for the purpose of tariff and after the date of commercial operation, interest on loans is recoverable through tariff calculated on the normative average loan of the year by applying the weighted average rate of interest of the actual loan portfolio.
Accordingly, the Company's interest rate risk is not considered significant; hence sensitivity analysis for the risk is not disclosed.
(iii) Other price risk
The Company's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI.
Considering the magnitude of equity investments, no significant risk is expected to arise.
62. Income Tax expense
This note provides an analysis of the company's income tax expense, and how the tax expense is affected by non-assessable and non-deductible items. It also explains significant estimates made in relation to the Company's tax position.
A. Post-employment obligations
I) Defined Contribution Schemes:
i) Pension
The Company has scheme of employees defined Pension Contribution & National Pension Scheme (NPS) for the employees opted for the NPS scheme. Company contribution is paid to separate trust for Employees defined Pension Contribution as well as NPS. Amount of contribution paid/payable for the year of f137.76crore (Previous Year f56.03crore) has been recognised as expense and is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss.
i) Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has rendered continuous service of five years or more is entitled to get gratuity at 15 days salary (15/26 x last drawn basic salary plus, dearness allowance) for each completed year of service on superannuation, resignation, termination, disablement or on death subject to a maximum of f 25 lakhs. The scheme is funded by the Company and is managed by a separate trust. The liability for the same is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation on annual basis on the Balance Sheet date.
ii) Provident Fund
Company pays fixed contribution to Provident Fund at predetermined rate to a separate trust, which invests the funds in permitted securities. Contribution to Employee pension scheme (EPS) is paid to the appropriate authorities. The contribution to the fund and EPS scheme for the year amounting to f150.49crore (Previous Year f143.72crore) has been recognised as expense. The obligation of the company is limited to such fixed contribution and to ensure a minimum rate of interest on contributions to the members as specified by GOI. Further, as per the current report of actuary, overall interest earning and cumulative surplus is more than statutory interest payment requirement. Therefore, no further provision is considered necessary. Since the company does not have unconditional right over the PF corpus, the surplus has not been recognised in the Balance Sheet.
Movement in plan assets and obligations of PF is as follows:
iii) Post-Retirement Medical Facility (PRMF)
The Company has Post-Retirement Medical Facility (PRMF), under which retired employees and their eligible dependents are provided medical facilities in the empanelled/non-empanelled hospitals. They can also avail treatment as Out-Patient subject to a ceiling fixed by the company. The liability for the same is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation on annual basis on the Balance Sheet date. The scheme is funded by the company and is managed by a separate trust constituted on 01 May 2018.
Movement in plan assets and obligations of PRMF is as follows:
iv) Other Defined Retirement Benefits (ODRB)
a) Baggage Allowance & Wellness Assistance
The Company has a scheme for settlement at the time of superannuation at anywhere in India and dependents to superannuated employees. The scheme is unfunded and liability for the same is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation on annual basis on the Balance Sheet date.
A lumpsum amount as 'Wellness Assistance' equivalent to 01-month last drawn Basis-Pay shall be admissible for all retiring employees and families of deceased employees.
b) Acknowledgement of service on retirement
This benefit is applicable to all regular employees of the company. A Silver Plaque is presented to employees on superannuation or early retirement after 55 years of age under clause 24.5.2 of Service Rules or separation after completion of 01 tenure as Director/CMD. Silver plaque shall also be presented to families of employees who separate from the company due to death after attaining the age of 55 years. This scheme is unfunded and liability for the same is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation on annual basis on the balance sheet date.
Movement in obligations of ODRB is as follows:
The discount rate is generally based upon the market yields available on Govt. Bonds at the accounting date relevant to currency of benefit payments for a term that matches the liabilities. Salary growth rate is companies' long term best estimate as to salary increases and takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion, business plan, HR Policy and other relevant factors on long term basis.
Sensitivities due to mortality & withdrawals are not material & hence impact of change due to these not calculated.
Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.
I) Leave Obligations
The Company provides for earned leave benefit (including compensated absences) and half-pay leave to the employees of the company which accrue annually at 30 days and 20 days respectively. Earned leave is encashable while in service. Half pay leaves (HPL) are encashable only on separation beyond the age of 55 years upto the maximum of 300 days (HPL). However, total number of leave that can be encashed on superannuation shall be restricted to 300 days and no commutation of half pay leave shall be permissible. The liability for same is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation.
Movement in obligations of Leaves is as follows:
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing sensitivity analysis did not change compared to previous year.
vii) Description of Risk exposures
Valuation is based on certain assumptions which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such company is exposed to various risks as follows:
a) Salary Increases (except for PF) - Actual salary increase will increase the plan's liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumptions in future valuation will also increase the liability.
b) Investment risk - If plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch and actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability
c) Discount Rate - Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan's liability.
d) Mortality & disability - Actual deaths and disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
e) Withdrawals - Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan's liability.
viii) Maturity analysis of defined benefit schemes:
The weighted average duration of the post-employment defined benefit obligations is 36.91 years (Previous Year 38.33 years) and expected contributions to the same during next financial year is f32.32crore (Previous Year f29.09crore). The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity, PF, post-retirement medical facility and other defined retirement benefit is as follows:
II) POWERGRID Employee family rehabilitation scheme
The company has introduced POWERGRID Employees Family Economic Rehabilitation Scheme on 24 June 2017. The Objective of the scheme is to provide monetary assistance and support to an employee in case of his/ her permanent total disablement and to his/her family in case of death while in service. The beneficiary would be entitled to monthly payment equivalent to the employee's 50% of one month pay last drawn provided the beneficiary deposits with the company an amount equal to PF (excluding VPF) balance, Gratuity amount and Group Insurance (EDLI) amount. Such monthly payment would continue till the normal notional date on which the employee concerned would have attained the age of superannuation had the employee continued in the service of the company. The scheme is optional. Provision for POWERGRID Employees Family Economic Rehabilitation Scheme amounting to f1.12crore (Previous Year f3.08crore) for the year has been made during the year based on actuarial valuation.
m) The company has not received/advanced or loaned or invested funds (either borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) through Intermediaries during the financial year.
n) The Company does not have any transaction that was not recorded in the books of accounts and has been surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in the tax assessments under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
