Propelling
value-led growth Dear Shareholders,
It gives me immense pleasure to present
you the 2nd Integrated Annual Report and
the Annual Accounts of your Company for
the financial year ended March 31, 2019.
During the financial year 2018-19, global
macroeconomic conditions have moderated
and various risks factors need to be watched
cautiously including escalating trade
disputes, tightening liquidity and the impact
of climate-change and related regulation.
In FY’19 the Indian economy showed some
resilience, but slow economic growth in rural
and agrarian India as well as the solvency
risks faced by some Non-Banking Financial

driven infrastructure build in railways,
roads, water, sanitation has been helpful
in sustaining demand in several industries
including steel.
Global crude steel production increased by
4.6% in 2018 to a level of 1.8 billion tonnes
with increase in all regions except in the EU.
China’s steel output grew by 6.6% while India
increased its production to 106.5 million
tonnes (4.9% over 2017) to become the
second largest steel manufacturer surpassing
Japan. India’s demand for pig iron was stable

The Value
We Create

Our strategy guides us in making clear choices about allocation


of resources. Taking a holistic approach towards value creation,
we have linked our six strategic pillars intricately with the value
we create and share.
Value creation is about judicious allocation of resources, careful
nurturing of relationships and creation of outcomes through
meaningful implementation of our strategy. 'Integrated thinking',
which is the core of the Integrated Reporting process, is defined by
our six strategic pillars. Each of the strategic pillars are associated
with one or more of the capitals. We deploy the capitals and add
value to them by implementing our strategy.

135
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these
risks. The Company’s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the
appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company’s senior
management 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. All derivative activities for risk management
purposes are carried out by specialist personnel's that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company’s policy that
no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of
these risks, which are summarised below.
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: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity
risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, mutual fund investment and derivative
financial instruments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of debt and derivatives.
The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses:
- The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial
assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
- The sensitivity of equity is calculated by considering the effect of any associated derivatives at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 for the
effects of the assumed changes of the underlying risk
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest
rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with
floating interest rates.
The Company is subject to variable interest rates on some of its interest bearing liabilities. The Company's interest rate exposure is mainly
related to debt obligations. The Company also uses a mix of interest rate sensitive financial instruments to manage the liquidity and fund
requirements for its day to day operations like short term loans.
The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 70 basis points interest rate across all yield curves. This calculation also assumes that the
change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year end balances are
not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings
affected, after the impact of derivative instruments. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through
the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
` In Lakhs
Increase/decrease in Effect on profit Effect on post-tax
basis points before tax equity
31-Mar-19 +70 (0.50) (0.33)
-70 0.50 0.33
31-Mar-18 +100 (268.97) (213.66)
-100 268.97 213.66

Foreign currency risk


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, as per its risk management policy, uses foreign exchange and other derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreign
exchange exposure. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Company's cost of imports and cost of borrowings and
consequently may increase the cost of financing the Company's capital expenditures.
The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks. It hedges a part of
these risks by using derivative financial instruments in accordance with its risk management policies.
The company exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of reporting period expressed in INR are as follows:

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreign currency sensitivity


The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.
The impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The Company’s exposure to
foreign currency changes for all currencies other than US Dollars is not material.
` In Lakhs
Effect on profit Effect on post-tax
Change in USD rate

-8% 74.12 48.22
31-Mar-18 +9% (124.44) (98.85)
-9% 124.44 98.85

The movement in the post-tax effect is a result of a change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedge
relationship and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in INR, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other than INR.
Although the derivatives have not been designated in a hedge relationship, they act as an economic hedge and will offset the underlying
transactions when they occur.
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 (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including
deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed by each divisions subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer
credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any shipments to major customers are generally
covered by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance.
The companies maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 is the
carrying amounts as disclosed in Note 40
The risk relating to trade receivables is shown under Note 10.
Other Financial Assets
Credit risk from balances with banks, term deposits, loan, investments and derivative instruments is managed by Company's finance
department. Investment of surplus fund are made only with approved counterparties who meet the minimum threshold requirement.
The Company monitors rating, credit spreads and financial strength of its counterparties.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain
sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements.
The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Company’s objective is to maintain a
balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, buyer's credit and other means of
borrowings. The company invests its surplus funds in liquid schemes of mutual funds, which carry no/low mark to market risk.
The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a
sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including estimated interest payments as at
March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

Fair value hierarchy:


The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or
unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the
measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The investments included in Level 2 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using quotes available for similar assets and liabilities in the
active market. The investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair
value. The cost of unquoted investments approximate the fair value because there is a range of possible fair value measurements and the cost
represents estimate of fair value within that range
The following table summarises financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and financial assets that are not
measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosure are required):

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation as at March 31, 2019 is 11 years ( March 31, 2018: 12 years)
The Company expects to contribute ` 371.17 Lakh to the funded retiring gratuity plans in financial year 2020 (March 31,
2018: ` 244.67 Lakh)
The fair value of Company's plan asset as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 by category are as follows:

The table below outlines the effect on the defined benefit obligation in the event of a increase / decrease of 1% in the assumed discount
rate and salary escalation rate.

Discount rate (+/- 1%) -10% -11% 12% 13%
Salary escalation (+/- 1%) 11% 12.88% -10% -11%

The above sensitivity analyses are based on change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is
unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit
obligations to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the
projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation
recognised in the Balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
iii) Pension Plan - Ex- Managing Director (Mr. Harsh K Jha)
The Company accounts for post-retirement defined benefit arrangements using Ind AS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’, with independent actuaries
being used to calculate the costs, assets and liabilities to be recognised in relation to these schemes. The present value of the defined
benefit obligation, the current service cost and past service costs are calculated by these actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
However, the ongoing funding arrangements of each scheme, in place to meet their long term pension liabilities, are governed by the
individual scheme documentation and national legislation. The accounting and disclosure requirements of Ind AS 19 do not affect these
funding arrangements.

The above sensitivity may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in
assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
v) Provident Fund
Contributions towards provident funds are recognised as expense for the year. The Company has set up a Provident Fund Trust which is
administered by Trustees. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Fund at specified percentage of the
employee’s salary and aggregate contributions along with interest thereon are paid to the employees/nominees at retirement, death or
cessation of employment.
The Trust invests funds following a pattern of investments prescribed by the Government. The interest rate payable to the members of the
Trust is not lower than the rate of interest declared annually by the Government under The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, on account of interest is to be made good by the Company.
The Actuary has carried out actuarial valuation of plan’s liabilities and interest rate guarantee obligations as at the Balance Sheet date
using Projected Unit Credit Method and Deterministic Approach as outlined in the Guidance Not 29 issued by the Institute of Actuaries
of India. Based on such valuation, no amount is required to be provided towards future anticipated shortfall with regard to interest rate
obligation of the Company as at the Balance Sheet date. Disclosures given hereunder are restricted to the information available as per the
Actuary’s Report.

which the employees render the services that increases this entitlement.

Others consist of company and employee contribution to:

ii. Employees State Insurance [Total amount charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ` 10.85 Lakh ( Previous year 2017-18
` 36.38 Lakh)]
Contribution to these schemes are made by the company as required as per the statute.
42. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the recent Supreme Court Judgment in case of "Vivekananda Vidyamandir And
Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal" and the related circular (Circular No. C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda
Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain
allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund
under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the assessment of the management the aforesaid matter is
not likely to have a significant impact and accordingly, no provision has been considered in these Financial Statements.

43. Changes in accounting policies


This note explains the impact of the adoption of Ind As 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the financial statements.
The company has adopted Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 April, 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting
policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. In accordance with the transition provisions in Ind
AS 115, the company has adopted the new rules retrospectively and has restated comparatives for the year ended 31st March' 2018,
wherever material.
As a result of the change in the company's accounting policy, comparative information for the previous year had to be restated (not
material to the financial statement), which includes increase in Revenue from Operations (note 20) by ` 37 Lakh, increase in Freight and
Handling Charges (note 27) by ` 37 Lakh, decrease in Trade Receivables (note 10) by ` 50 Lakh and decrease in Trade Payables (note
16) by ` 50 Lakh.
There is no impact on the retained earnings as at 1st April' 2018 due to the above adjustments.
Although the company has adopted Ind AS 115 retrospectively, restated items retrospectively in its financial statements, there is no
material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period, hence the entity has not presented a
third balance sheet as at that date (1st April, 2017).

44. Corporate social responsibility expense


Gross amount required to be spent by the company during FY 2018-19 was ` 346.00 Lakhs (2017-18 : ` 300 Lakhs). The details of the
