o. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets 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 using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resource embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses it as per Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets in the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.
Contingent assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises 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. The Company does not recognize the contingent asset in its financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, the Company discloses a brief description of the nature of contingent assets at the end of the reporting period. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset, and the Company recognizes such assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each reporting date.
p. Employee benefits
i. Short-term employee benefits:
Employee benefits such as short-term compensated absences, bonus, ex-gratia and performance linked rewards falling due within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short¬ term employee benefits and are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the service.
ii. Long-term employee benefits:
The Company provides long-term benefits such as Retention bonus (i.e long service award) and compensated absences. Retention bonus is awarded to certain cadre of employees on completion of specific years of service. The obligation recognised in respect of these long-term benefits is measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company and is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation, using projected unit credit method as at each reporting date. As the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date, the entire leave is presented as a current liability in the balance sheet and expenses recognised in statement of profit and loss. Long-term compensated absences and retention bonus are unfunded.
iii. Post-employment benefits:
Defined contribution schemes:
The Company provides defined contribution schemes such as statutory provident fund, employee state insurance, voluntary superannuation and the pension plan. The Company has no obligation other than the contribution payable to the funds which is recognised as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.
If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Defined benefit plan:
The employee’s gratuity fund scheme managed by board of trustees established by the Company, represent defined benefit plan. Gratuity is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation, using projected unit credit method as at each reporting date.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognised the following changes in defined benefit obligation as an expense in statement of profit or loss:
• Service cost comprising of current service cost, past service cost, gains and loss on entitlements and non-routine settlement.
• Net interest expenses or income.
Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the settlement occurs. In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.
q. Share based payment
Employees of the Company have been granted Employee Stock Option Plan, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. Further details are given in Note 36.
That cost is recognised as employee benefits, together with a corresponding increase in Share options outstanding account in other equity, over the vesting period in which the performance and/or service conditions are required to be fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the performance and/ or service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in statement of profit and loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The expense or credit in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense with a corresponding movement in Share options outstanding account in other equity. In case of the employee stock option schemes having a graded vesting schedule, each vesting tranche having different vesting period has been considered as a separate option grant and accounted for accordingly.
Where shares are forfeited due to a failure by the employee to satisfy the service conditions, any expenses previously recognised in relation to such shares are reversed effective from the date of the forfeiture.
Employees of the subsidiary companies also received the options in the form of share-based payment transactions. The cost of equity settled transactions are recovered by the Company from the subsidiary companies on yearly basis based on the estimated options that will vest to the employees of the subsidiary companies.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
r. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, on initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value. In case of financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit or loss, its transaction cost is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost is attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115. Refer to the accounting policies in 2.3 (e) - Revenue from contracts with customers.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in below categories:
• at amortized cost
• at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
• at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost when the business model aims to collect contractual cash flows; and cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). Post initial recognition, assets are measured using EIR method and are subject to ECL based impairment.
Financial assets are measured at FVTOCI when objective is both collecting cash flows and selling assets; and cash flows meet SPPI. The Company recognizes the movements in fair value in OCI, interest income, impairment losses in the statement of profit and loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from OCI to statement of profit and loss. The Company has not designated any financial asset as at FVTOCI.
Financial assets measured at FVTPL is the default category for assets not qualifying for amortised cost or FVTOCI. FVTPL asset category is measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Equity investments are generally classified as FVTPL unless designated as FVTOCI.
De-recognition
A financial asset is de recognised when rights to cash flows expire, or rights are transferred and risks and rewards are substantially transferred; or neither transferred nor retained, but control is transferred.
Continuing involvement is recognised only to the extent of retained risks/ obligations and is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company recognises an allowance for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model to financial assets measured at amortised cost, financial assets at FVTOCI, trade receivables, and loan commitments or financial guarantees. Impairment on trade receivables is recognised using the simplified approach, which requires lifetime ECL, right from its initial recognition. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. For all other financial assets, impairment is based on either 12 month ECL or lifetime ECL, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL, at fair value through other equity, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’)
Financial liabilities as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains / losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains / losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. Gains and losses are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Supplier finance arrangements
The Company enters into supplier finance arrangements through issuance of Letters of Credit, under which suppliers may, at their discretion, obtain early payment from banks or financial institutions.
Management has assessed that such arrangements do not result in a substantive change in the nature of the underlying liability, as the obligation continues to arise from purchase transactions forming part of the Company’s operating cycle. Accordingly, amounts outstanding are presented as trade payables. Finance costs relating to extended credit periods are recognised as finance costs. Cash flows relating to such arrangements are classified as operating activities, consistent with the classification of the underlying liability.
Where an arrangement results in derecognition of trade payable and recognition of a separate financing arrangement (e.g., buyer’s credit), such balances are presented as borrowings, with related cash flows classified as financing activities.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
s. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for any bonus shares issued during the year and also after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are approved by the board of directors.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit/ (loss) after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been outstanding on issue / conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus shares as appropriate. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been issued at fair value. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date.
t. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
u. Dividend
The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend when the distribution is authorised by way of approval of shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
v. Events after the reporting period
If the Company receives information after the reporting period, but prior to the date the financial statements are approved for issue, about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the Company assess whether the information affects the amounts that it recognises in its financial statements. The Company will adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements to reflect any adjusting events after the reporting period and update the disclosures that relate to those conditions in light of the new information. For non-adjusting events after the reporting period, the Company will not change the amounts recognised in its financial statements but will disclose the nature of the non¬ adjusting event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, if applicable.
2.4. Other accounting policiesa. Government grants and subsidies
Grants and subsidies from the government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that [i] the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and [ii] the grant / subsidy will be received.
When the grant or subsidy relates to revenue, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are intended to compensate.
Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as deferred income and released to income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When the Company receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset i.e. by equal annual instalments. When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.
b. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising of assets and liabilities are classified as ‘held for sale’ if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered as highly probable to be concluded within 12 months from the balance sheet date.
Such non-current assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets including those that are part of a disposal group held for sale are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from other items in the balance sheet.
Discontinued operations represent a component of the Company that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or geographical area; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented separately as ‘profit or loss before tax from discontinued operations,’ tax expense/(income] of discontinued operations,’ and ‘profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations,’ in the statement of profit and loss.
c. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Commodity contracts that are entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the Company’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements are held at cost.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in OCI and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss or treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:
• Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment,
• Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment,
• Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging / economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.
Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.
Hedges that meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as described below:
i. Fair value hedges
The change in the fair value of a hedging instrument is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as finance costs. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognised in the statement of profit and loss as finance costs.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortised cost, any adjustment to carrying value is amortised through profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedge using the EIR method. EIR amortisation may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.
If the hedged item is derecognised, the unamortised fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in statement of profit and loss.
ii. Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company uses forward currency contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency risk in forecast transactions and firm commitments, as well as forward commodity contracts for its exposure to volatility in the commodity prices. The ineffective portion relating to foreign currency contracts is recognised in finance costs and the ineffective portion relating to commodity contracts is recognised in finance income or finance cost.
Amounts recognised as OCI are transferred to statement of profit and loss when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale occurs.
When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognised as OCI are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover (as part of the hedging strategy], or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, or when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs or the foreign currency firm commitment is met.
2.5. Climate-related matters
The Company considers climate-related matters in estimates and assumptions, where appropriate. This assessment includes a wide range of possible impacts on the Company due to both physical and transition risks. Even though the Company believes its business model and products will still be viable after the transition to a low-carbon economy, climate-related matters increase the uncertainty in estimates and assumptions underpinning several items in the financial statements.
Even though climate-related risks might not currently have a significant impact on measurement, the Company is closely monitoring relevant changes and developments, such as new climate-related legislation. The items and considerations that are most directly impacted by climate-related matters are:
a. Useful life of property, plant and equipment: When reviewing the residual values and expected useful lives of assets, the Company considers climate-related legislation and regulations that may restrict the use of assets or require significant capital expenditures.
b. Impairment of non-financial assets: The value-in-use may be impacted in several different ways by transition risk in particular, such as climate-related legislation and regulations and changes in demand for the Company’s products. The Company considered expectations for increased costs of emissions, increased demand for goods sold by the Company’s WTG equipment CGU and cost increases due to stricter recycling requirements in the cash-flow forecasts in assessing value-in-use amounts.
c. Fair value measurement: For revalued office properties, the Company considers the effect of physical and transition risks and whether investors would consider those risks in their valuation. The Company believes it is not currently exposed to severe physical risks, but believes that investors, to some extent, would consider impacts of transition risks in their valuation, such as increasing requirements for energy efficiency of buildings due to climate-related legislation and regulations as well as tenants’ increasing demands for low-emission buildings.
3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
3.1 Significant accounting judgements
The management has exercised judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key areas where such judgement has a material impact on the amounts recognised and presented in the financial statements are set out below:
a. Operating lease commitments - Company as a lessor
The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the commercial property and the fair value of the asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
Lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Company as lessee
The lease term comprises the non cancellable period together with periods covered by renewal options where exercise is reasonably certain and termination options where non exercise is reasonably certain. The Company applies judgement, considering all relevant economic factors, in assessing such certainty. The lease term is reassessed upon significant events or changes in circumstances within the Company’s control that affect this assessment. Refer to Note 37.1 for information on potential future rental payments relating to periods.
b. Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:
• Identifying performance obligations
The Company supplies WTG that are either sold separately or bundled together with project execution activities to customers.
The Company determines that both the supply of WTGs and project execution activities can be performed distinctly on a stand-alone basis which indicates that the customer can benefit from respective performance obligations on their own. The Company also determines that the promises to supply the WTG and execute projects are distinct within the context of the contract and are not inputs to a combined item in the contract. Further, the WTG supply and project execution activities are not highly interdependent or highly interrelated, as the Company would be able to supply WTGs wherein the project execution activities can be performed by customers directly. Also, the Company uses output method for measuring the progress of performance obligation as it represents a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services
• Estimation of variable consideration and assessment of the constraint
Contracts for the supply of WTGs and project execution activities include provision for penalty related to delayed delivery or commissioning and compensation for performance shortfalls expected over the life of the guarantee period. Such contractual provisions give rise to variable consideration.
In estimating variable consideration, the Company assess the specific terms of each contract and considers relevant factors on a case-to-case basis. Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether such amounts are subject to the constraint on variable consideration. Based on historical experience and current economic conditions, the Company does not expect any significant reversal of revenue recognised from variable consideration, and the related uncertainty is expected to be resolved in the near term.
c. Supplier finance arrangements
The Company enters into supplier finance arrangements with the suppliers through Letters of Credit, with extended payment terms beyond normal trade credit periods. Judgement is applied to assess whether such arrangements continue as trade payables or constitute borrowings, based on whether there is substantial modification of the original terms.
Based on this assessment, LC-based obligations are classified as trade payables, as they arise from purchase transactions and do not involve substantive modification of terms. This assessment is reviewed if the terms of such arrangements change.
3.2 Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. Uncertainty about these assumption and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
a. Allowance for trade receivables
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their transaction value as reduced by appropriate allowance for expected credit loss (“ECL”]. The measurement of ECL involves significant estimation uncertainty. The Company applies the ‘simplified approach’ and recognises lifetime ECL right from its initial recognition using a provision matrix based on historical credit loss experience. Such estimates are adjusted for forward-looking information including economic factors which requires management judgement.
Further, for customer segments with distinct risk profiles, the Company determines impairment loss allowances using management judgement considering customer specific credit risk and financial position. Details on movement in allowance for credit impairment and expected credit loss are given in Note 10.2.
b . Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, future tax planning strategies. The Company has unabsorbed depreciation and brought forward losses details of which are given in Note 32.3.
c. Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. The estimates of future salary increase consider the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 35.
d. Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer Note 42 for further disclosures.
e. Intangible assets under development
The Company capitalises intangible assets under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s assessment that technological and economic feasibility has been established, which is generally evidenced by the achievement of defined development milestones in accordance with the Company’s project management framework. In determining the costs to be capitalised, management applies judgement in assessing the expected future economic benefits of the project, including assumptions relating to future cash generation and the period over which such benefits are expected to be realised. The carrying value of intangible assets under development has been disclosed in Note 8.
f. Property, plant and equipment
Refer Note 2.3 (h) for the estimated useful life and Note 4 for carrying value of property, plant and equipment.
g. Share based payment
Estimating fair value for share based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 36.
h. Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate
As the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company measures its lease liabilities using the incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The IBR reflects the rate the Company would pay to borrow, over a similar term and with similar security, an amount equal to the value of the right-of-use asset in a comparable economic environment. The determination of the IBR involves estimation when observable market rates are not available. The Company uses observable inputs where possible (such as market interest rates) and applies entity-specific judgements, including the subsidiary’s standalone credit rating, where required.
5. Capital work-in-progress (CWIP)
CWIP as at March 31, 2026, stood at ^ 137.88 Crore (previous year: ^ 59.59 Crore), which primarily includes office building under construction and plant and equipment under installation.
7.2 Fair value and valuation techniques:
As at March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, the fair value of investment properties is ^ 93.44 Crore and ^ 72.57 Crore, respectively. The fair valuation has been determined by management based on the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method. The key inputs used in the valuation of investment properties are set out as below:
Under the DCF method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the investment property life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market- derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the investment property.
7.3 Du ring the previous financial year, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback arrangement in respect of its corporate office premises, “One Earth”, with OE Business Park Private Limited (“OEBPPL”). Based on the substance of the transaction, including the existence of reciprocal call and put options over the securities of OEBPPL, the arrangement did not meet the criteria for recognition as a sale under Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accordingly, the transaction continues to be accounted for as a financing arrangement, and no gain on transfer has been recognised. The proceeds received are recognised as a financial liability measured at amortised cost and are presented under financial liabilities in the financial statements. The carrying amount of the financial liability as at March 31, 2026, is ^ 425.31 Crore (previous year: ^ 416.95 Crore).

Ltd, incorporated in China has been subjected to liquidation proceedings as admitted by the competent court under the applicable laws of its jurisdiction. Following the commencement of the proceedings, the associate is currently being administered by a court-appointed liquidator. Based on the information available, including the status of the liquidation proceedings, the Company does not expect any recovery from the investment. Accordingly, the investment continues to be carried at Nil carrying value, having been fully impaired in earlier periods. As at the reporting date, the liquidation process has not been legally completed, and the Company continues to hold its legal interest in the associate. The investment has therefore not been derecognised from the financial statements. Derecognition will be considered upon completion of the liquidation process and extinguishment of the Company’s rights in the associate.

a. Provident fund
The Company contributes to the Employees’ Provident Fund (“EPF”) in accordance with the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Contributions are made at prescribed rates to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (“EPFO”), which administers the scheme. The Company’s obligation is limited to its contributions, which are recognised as an expense as incurred. Benefits vest immediately.
b. Superannuation
The Company operates a defined contribution superannuation plan, under which its obligation is limited to contributions made to an irrevocable trust. During the year, the Company consolidated the superannuation funds of various group entities into a single Group Superannuation Trust for administrative and investment efficiencies. Contributions continue to be determined on an entity-specific basis, while plan assets are pooled at the trust level. The plan is funded through a qualifying insurance policy.
35.2 Defined benefit gratuity plan
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in accordance with the provisions of the Code on Social Security, 2020, which subsumes the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
Gratuity is payable to employees upon resignation, retirement, superannuation, termination, death or disablement, subject to applicable service conditions. Fixed term employees are eligible for gratuity on a proportionate basis upon completion of the respective contract period, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions. The benefit is computed based on last drawn salary at prescribed rates for each completed year of service in accordance with applicable regulations.
During the year, the Company consolidated the gratuity funds of various group entities into an approved Group Gratuity Trust for administrative efficiency and improved fund management. The consolidation does not impact the measurement of the defined benefit obligation, as actuarial valuation and contributions continue to be determined on an entity-specific basis, while plan assets are pooled at the trust level.
The gratuity plan is administered through an irrevocable trust and is partly funded through a qualifying insurance policy, with the balance liability recognised based on actuarial valuation.
The fund has the form of a trust and is governed by the Board of Trustees. The scheme is partially funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
During the year, the Company has reassessed the actuarial assumption for attrition rate based on trend of attrition.
35.9 Quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumption and risk analysis:
Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation is determined using a discount rate based on market yields on government bonds. A decrease in the discount rate would result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation
Salary escalation risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on assumed future salary increases. An increase in the assumed salary escalation rate would lead to a higher liability.
Demographic risk: The valuation of the defined benefit obligation is based on assumptions such as mortality and employee attrition. Adverse deviations in actual experience compared to these assumptions may result in an increase in the liability.
The expected life of the stock options is based on the Company’s expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may actually occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility of the options is indicative of future trend, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome. Further, the expected volatility is based on the Company’s equity shares volatility for a period of 5 years upto grant date of an option.
36.4 The total expenses arising from share-based payment transaction recognised in statement of profit and loss as part of employee benefit expense is ^ 82.59 Crore (previous year: ^ 111.19 Crore).
37. Leases37.1 Company as a lessee
The Company has lease contracts for land, buildings and vehicles used in its operations. Leases of land, building and vehicles generally have lease terms between 2 to 3 years. The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets.
Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. The Company also has certain leases of premises with lease terms of 12 months or less and with low value. The Company applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.
37.2 Company as a lessor
The Company has entered into operating leases on its investment property portfolio consisting of certain office premises (refer Note 7). These leases have terms between two to ten years. All leases include a clause to enable upward revision of the rental charge on an annual basis according to prevailing market conditions. Rental income recognised by the Company during the year is ^ 9.52 Crore (previous year: ^ 11.57 Crore).
a. Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts includes demand from customs duty, service tax, VAT, GST and labour department for various matters. The Company / tax department has preferred appeals on these matters and the same are pending with various appellate authorities. Considering the facts of the matters, no provision is considered necessary by the management.
b. The Company has also various income tax matters where the Company/ tax department has preferred appeals on these matters and the same are pending with various appellate authorities. As the Company has sufficient carry forward losses available for set-off in case the Company loses, the liability is neither provided nor disclosed above under contingent liabilities.
c. In person hearing has taken place post filing of response to a Show Cause Notice (SCN) dated September 26, 2025, received from Securities Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) in respect of matters, which were previously disposed off, in favour of the Company vide an adjudication order dated June 27, 2025. The SCN relates to certain specific transactions between the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and disclosure of contingent liability in respect of earlier financial years from 2013-14 to 2017-18. Based on the legal assessment, the management has disclosed this matter under contingent liability and believes that the Company has strong case to defend and there is no material impact on these standalone financial statements.
d. A few lawsuits have been filed against the Company by certain suppliers in relation to disputes arising from the fulfilment of obligations under supply agreements. Further, certain customers of the Company have disputed amounts claimed as receivable, which the Company believes are contractually not payable. These matters are pending for hearing before the respective courts and the outcome of which is uncertain. Based on management’s assessment and as a matter of prudence, a portion of the claims has been provided for as it represents the probable outflow of resources. The balance claims, for which the likelihood of outflow is not considered probable, have accordingly not been disclosed as contingent liabilities.
40. Segment information
As permitted by paragraph 4 of Ind AS-108, ‘Operating Segments’, if a single financial report contains both consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements of the parent, segment information need to be presented only on the basis of the consolidated financial statements. Thus, disclosures required by Ind AS-108 are given in consolidated financial statements
41.5 Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
All transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
42. Fair value measurements
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are considered to be same as their carrying values except for investments in Mutual funds The fair value of investments in mutual funds is derived from the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the respective units in the active market at the measurement date.
43. Fair value hierarchy
There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 and level 3 during the year and earlier comparative periods. The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the financial year.
44. Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade receivables and other assets, and cash and cash equivalents that the company derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTPL investments.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company has constituted an internal Risk Management Committee (‘RMC’), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management framework. The focus of the RMC is that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Risk Management Policy is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
44.1 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk, such as commodity risk. The Company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest risk and foreign currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, FVTPL investments and derivative financial instruments.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.
a. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
b. Foreign currency risk and sensitivity
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company’s borrowings and loans and investments in foreign subsidiaries.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The Company’s currency exposures in respect of monetary items as at March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, that result in net currency gains and losses in the income statement and equity arise principally from movement in US Dollar and Euro exchange rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The other currencies includes Australian Dollar, Great Britain Pound, Danish Kroner etc.
44.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company manages credit risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of customers, reviewing contractual performance and ensuring timely collection in line with agreed terms.
a. Trade receivables
The Company’s exposure to trade receivables is limited due to diversified customer base. The Company evaluates expected credit loss on trade receivables at each reporting date. The assessment is based on historical experience, credit profile of customers and current market conditions.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively.
b. Financial instruments
Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, term deposit with banks, loans given to subsidiaries and other financial assets. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2026, and as at March 31, 2025, is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.
Refer Note 2.3 [r] for accounting policy on financial instruments.
44.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and maintaining adequate cash and credit facilities. The Company’s liquidity is also influenced by supplier finance arrangements, which provide flexibility of extended interest-bearing credit offered through issuance of Letters of Credit and are monitored as part of Company’s overall operating cycle and liquidity management framework.
Reasons For variance
(1)There is no significant change (i.e. change of more than 25% as compared to the immediately previous financial year) in the
key financial ratios.
