ENGINEERING A SUSTAINABLE
GROWTH STRATEGY
As Thermax is predominantly a capital goods supplier, the key element of our
strategy is understanding the factors that influence the capex cycle in general and
of key customer industries in particular.

Operating in a dynamic environment, serving the needs of customers across several industries that are sensitive to demand
business cycles and face regulatory, sustainability and cost challenges, it is important to build business strengths that
overcome these concerns. The strategic planning process and objectives, guided by the company’s vision and values, define
how we work towards reinforcing our status as a leading global provider of sustainable energy and environmental solutions.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report such as the management report and chairman’s statement but does not include the standalone
Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.

123
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also
includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the
assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone Ind AS
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.

Those Charged With Governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these standalone Ind AS financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements

124
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020 and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure 2 as referred to in paragraph 2(g) under the heading ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ of our
report of even date
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the
Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Thermax Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31,
2020, in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that
date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of
reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference
to these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance
Note and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal
financial controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial
controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements was established and
maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over
financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit
of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over
financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with reference to these Financial Statements
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

130
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS
Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone
Ind AS financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the
risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with
reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with
reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

1. Corporate information
Thermax Limited (‘the Company') offers solutions to energy, environment and chemical sectors. The Company’s portfolio
includes boilers and heaters, absorption chillers/ heat pumps, power plants, solar equipment, air pollution control
equipment/system, water and waste recycle plant, ion exchange resins and performance chemicals and related services.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India. It is listed on the BSE Limited (BSE) and
National Stock Exchange Limited (NSE) in India. The address of its registered office is D-13, MIDC Industrial Area, R.D.
Aga Road, Chinchwad, Pune- 411019, India. The Board of Directors have authorized to issue these standalone financial
statements on June 18, 2020. The CIN of the Company is L29299PN1980PLC022787.
2. Significant accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation and measurement
(a) Basis of preparation
These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS), notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time)
and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Act) as applicable to the
standalone financial statements.
The preparation of the standalone financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting judgements,
estimates and assumptions. It also requires the management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the
Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the standalone financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
The employee welfare trusts (including an ESOP trust) being separate legal entities, are not considered for the
purpose of consolidation in the standalone financial statements. However, these trusts have been consolidated in
the consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 110.
(b) Basis of measurement
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the accrual and going concern basis under historical
cost convention except the following:
• Derivative financial instruments;
• Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial
instruments); and
• Defined benefit plans whereby the plan assets are measured at fair value.
2.2. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
2.2.1 Ind AS 116 - Leases
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 w.e.f. April 1, 2019. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of
adoption of this new accounting standard are described below.
Ind AS 116 was issued on March 30, 2019 and supersedes Ind AS 17 on Leases. Ind AS 116 introduces significant
changes to lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance lease and requiring the
recognition of a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at commencement for all leases, except for short-term
leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have
remained largely unchanged.
a. Impact of the new definition of a lease
The Company used the practical expedient available in the transition to Ind AS 116 so as not to reassess whether a
contract is or contains a lease. Therefore, the lease definition set out in Ind AS 17 remained applicable to leases
contracted or modified prior to April 1, 2019. The Company applied the lease definition and related guidance
described in Ind AS 116 to all lease agreements entered or modified on or after April 1, 2019.

137
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

b. Impact on Lessee Accounting


Former Operating Leases
Ind AS 116 changes how the Company accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under
Ind AS 17, which were off balance sheet.
Applying Ind AS 116, for all leases, the Company:
(a) Recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the standalone financial statements of financial
position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments.
(b) Recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in profit or loss.
(c) Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities)
and interest (presented within financing activities) in the standalone financial statements of cash
flows.
Under Ind AS 116, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with Ind AS 36.
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as laptop,
printers, personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones), the Company has opted to
recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by Ind AS 116. This expense is presented
within ‘other expenses’ in profit or loss.
c. Financial impact of the initial application of Ind AS 116
On transition to Ind AS 116, the Company has elected to adopt the modified retrospective approach. Consequently,
the Company recorded the lease liability at the value of future lease payment and right of use of asset at an amount
equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease
recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application. Under this approach, there were
no material adjustments required to the retained earnings at April 1, 2019.
On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of 'Right of Use' asset and Lease Financial
Liability of Rs. 85.34 and Rs. 8.10 respectively.
The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:
1. Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months
of lease term on the date of initial application.
2. Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial
application.
2.2.2. Others
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in the year ended March 31, 2020, but do not
have an impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company. The Company has not early adopted any
standards or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Company's normal operating
cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and services and the
time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the
Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current
classification of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and
liabilities.

Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

b. Foreign currencies
The Company’s standalone financial statements are prepared in INR, which is also the functional currency of the
Company.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency spot rates at the date the
transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on
settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
c. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• in the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a
liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis
of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained
above.
This note summarizes accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant
notes.
• Disclosures for significant judgements, estimates and assumptions (note 3)
• Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy (note 37)
• Financial instruments (including those carried at amortized cost) (note 37)

139
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting
period.
d. Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s balance sheet.
On disposal of such investments, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the
investments are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
e. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) and capital work in progress are stated at cost of acquisition or construction
net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. All significant costs relating to the acquisition and
installation of PPE are capitalised. Subsequent costs/replacement costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the
replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of profit and loss
during the financial year in which they are incurred.
The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/
part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from
that of the remaining asset.
Depreciation on PPE is calculated on a straight line basis using the rates arrived at, based on the useful lives
estimated by the management. The identified components are depreciated separately over their useful lives; the
remaining components are depreciated over the life of the principal asset.
The management has estimated, supported by independent assessment by professionals, the useful lives of certain
classes of assets. The following useful lives are adopted by the management:

Asset category Company’s estimate of Useful life as prescribed


useful life (years) under Schedule II (years)
Factory buildings 28 to 30 30
Other buildings 58 60
Plant and equipment 5 to 25 15 to 20
Roads 5 to 30 5 to 10
Office equipment 15 15
Furniture and fixtures 15 10
Computers and data processing units 4 to 6 3 to 6
Vehicles 7 to 10 8

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of PPE are reviewed on a regular basis and changes in
estimates, when relevant, are accounted for on a prospective basis.
f. Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets
acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

140
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related
expenditure is reflected in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the
amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each
reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and
are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
recognized in the Statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another
asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss when
the asset is derecognized.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized
as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate all the following:
l The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
l Its intention to complete the asset
l Its ability to use or sell the asset
l How the asset will generate future economic benefits
l The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset
l The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development.
Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the
asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized on
a straight line basis over the period of expected future benefit from the related project, i.e., the estimated useful life
subject to a maximum of ten years. Amortization is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss unless such
expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset. During the period of development, the asset is tested for
impairment annually.
A summary of amortization rates applied to the Company’s intangible assets are as below:

Asset category Life (years)


Technical know how 3 to 6
Computer software 3 to 5

g. Inventories
Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost
includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Finished goods and work in progress are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct
materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs

(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on a weighted
average basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Write down of inventories are calculated based on an
analysis of foreseeable changes in demand, technology, market conditions and ageing of inventories.
h. Revenue recognition
i. Revenue from Contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights
of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and
collectability of consideration is probable. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue
arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also
exposed to inventory and credit risks. The Company collects goods and services tax on behalf of the government
and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the Company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.
The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from
contracts with customers are provided in Note 3.
The Company has following streams of revenue:
• Revenue from Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts are contracts (or a group of contracts secured
together) specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset which refers to any project for construction of
plants and systems, involving designing, engineering, fabrication, supply, erection (or supervision thereof),
commissioning, guaranteeing performance thereof etc., execution of which is spread over different accounting
periods. The Company identifies distinct performance obligations in each contract. For most of the project
contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of
tasks and components into a single project or capability. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one
performance obligation.
The Company may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, in which case the Company
separates the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one
performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an
amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying
each performance obligation. The Company uses the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the
standalone selling price of each performance obligation in case of contracts with more than one distinct
performance obligations.
The Company assesses for the timing of revenue recognition in case of each distinct performance obligation. The
Company first assesses whether the revenue can be recognized over a period of time if any of the following criteria
is met:
(a) The customer simultaneously consumes the benefits as the Company performs, or
(b) The customer controls the work-in-progress, or
(c) The Company’s performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the Company and the
Company has right to payment for performance completed till date.
The Company recognizes revenue over time as it performs because of continuous transfer of control to the
customer. For all project contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by the fact that
the customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by

142
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

the rights of the Company to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit to deliver products or
services that do not have an alternative use.
The Company uses cost-based measure of progress (or input method) for contracts because it best depicts the
transfer of control to the customer which occurs as it incurs costs on contracts. Under the cost-based measure of
progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the
total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated profits, are
recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
The Company estimates variable consideration amount which it expects to be entitled under the contract and
includes it in the transaction price to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal of cumulative
revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty associated with it is subsequently resolved. The
estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction
price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current
and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
Costs associated with bidding for contracts are charged to the Statement of profit and loss when they are incurred.
Costs that relate directly to a contract and are incurred in securing the contract are included as part of the contract
costs if they can be separately identified and measured reliably and it is probable that the contract will be obtained.
Contract modification, when approved by both the parties to the contract, are considered as modification, if it
creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the contract modifications are not
distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided under the contract prior to
modifications and are therefore, accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification
is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.
When it becomes probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue, the Company
recognizes the expected losses from onerous contract as an expense immediately.
Penalties for any delay or improper execution of a contract are recognized as a deduction from revenue. In the
balance sheet, such provisions are presented on net basis of the contract receivables.
• Revenue from Sale of goods
If the criteria for revenue under over-a-period of time as mentioned above are not met, the Company recognizes
revenue at a point-in-time. The point-in-time is determined when the control of the goods or services is transferred
which is generally determined based on when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the
customer. Apart from this, the Company also considers its present right to payment, the legal title to the goods, the
physical possession and the customer acceptance in determining the point in time where control has been
transferred. The Company provides for warranty provision for general repairs up to 18 – 24 months on its products
sold, in line with the industry practice. A liability is recognized at the time the product is sold. The Company does not
provide any extended warranties.
• Revenue from Sale of services
Revenue in respect of operation and maintenance contract, awarded on a standalone basis or included in long term
contracts and identified as a separate performance obligation, is recognized on a time proportion basis under the
contracts.
Contract balances
Contract assets: A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the
customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays
consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration and are
transferred to Trade receivables on completion of milestones and its related invoicing. Contract assets are
recorded in balance sheet as unbilled revenue.

143
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Trade receivables: A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Also refer note
2.3(i) below.
Contract liabilities: A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the
Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays
consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised
when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as
revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Contract liabilities are recorded in balance sheet
as unearned revenue and Customer advances as the case may be.
ii. Interest income
For all debt instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate
(EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of
the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset
or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of
profit and loss.
iii. Dividend
Revenue is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when
shareholders approve the dividend.
iv. Rental income
Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
i. 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
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through Profit and Loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. For all
subsequent measurements, financial assets are classified in following categories by the Company:
i. Debt instruments at amortized cost
A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
(a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows, and
(b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance
costs/income in the Statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the
Statement of profit and loss.
ii. Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI is classified as FVTPL.

144
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the
Statement of profit and loss.
iii. Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for
trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election
to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election
on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the Statement of
profit and loss, even on the sale of the investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss
within equity.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
primarily derecognized when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through"
arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
but has transferred control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss and credit risk exposure on the financial assets that are debt instruments measured
at amortized costs e.g. loans, deposits, trade receivables, contractual receivables and bank balances. The Company
follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment allowance. The application of simplified approach does
not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment allowance based on
lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that
whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not
increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased
significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that
there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing
impairment allowance based on 12-month. The Company considers current and anticipated future economic
conditions relating to industries of the customer and the countries where it operates.
ECL impairment allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/expense in the
Statement of profit and loss under the head 'other expenses'. ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral
part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until
the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying
amount.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings,
payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial
liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly

145
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and
borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as fair value through profit and loss
or at amortized cost.
All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortised cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. After initial recognition
the financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in
profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortised
cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or cost that are integral
part of EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized 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
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,
to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
j. 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 recognized 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.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the Statement of profit
and loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized 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 recognized asset or liability or
an unrecognized 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 recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the
foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment
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 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

146
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

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 the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying
value of the hedged item and is also recognized in the Statement of profit and loss as finance costs. The Company
has not undertaken Fair value hedges.
(ii) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in OCI in the cash flow hedge
reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized 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. The ineffective portion relating to foreign currency contracts is recognized in the Statement of
profit and loss.
Amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to the Statement of profit and loss when the hedged transaction affects
profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale
occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognized
in 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 recognized in OCI remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction
occurs or the foreign currency firm commitment is met.
k. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the
purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as
defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash
management.
l. Government Grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all
attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on
a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.
When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in proportion to the depreciation charged over the
expected useful life of the related asset. The Company accounts for export incentives for export of goods if the
entitlements can be estimated with reasonable accuracy and conditions precedent to claim are fulfilled.
m. Share capital
Equity shares issued to shareholders are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of
new equity shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax effects.
n. Income tax
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted, at the reporting date.

147
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized either in OCI or in equity.
Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax
credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be
utilised. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in OCI or
in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in
equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
The Company determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or
more other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.
The Company applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments.
o. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest
and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes
exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
p. Leases
Company as a lessee
The Company lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, office buildings, guest house and other office
equipment, etc. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is,
or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset,
the Company assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Company has
substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Company
has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease
liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less

148
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

(short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the
lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be
exercised.
The Right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs
less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of
impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is
determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent
of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit
(CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments include
fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and
amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been
classified as financing cash flows.
As a practical expedient, Ind AS 116 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account
for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Company has not used this
practical expedient. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease
components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the
relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease
components.
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are
classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to
the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
q. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Unit's (CGU) fair
value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses including impairment on inventory are recognized in the Statement of profit or loss.
For assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that
previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company
estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if

149
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the Statement of profit
and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase.
r. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally
through a sale rather than through continuing use. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only
when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that
are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely
be sold, not abandoned. Management must be committed to the sale/ distribution expected within one year from
the date of classification.
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the
fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance
sheet.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed
of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
l Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
l Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations, or;
l 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.
s. Provisions
Provisions are recognized 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. When the Company expects some or
all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a
separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is
presented in the Statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
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 recognized as a finance cost.
Warranty provisions
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognized when the product is sold or service provided to the customer.
Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty related costs is revised
annually.
Provision for onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a
contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is
measured at the present value of the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is
established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

150
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Decommissioning liability
The Company records a provision for decommissioning costs of its manufacturing facilities. Decommissioning
costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are
recognized as part of the cost of the particular asset. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and
recognized in the Statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are
reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate
applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.
t. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation,
other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the
provident fund scheme 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 recognized 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.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be made to a
separately administered fund. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the
projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, 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 recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements
are not reclassified to the Statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:
• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
• The date that the Company recognizes related restructuring costs.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company
recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Statement of profit and
loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-
routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee
benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay
as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term
employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on
the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. The Company presents the leave as a
current liability in the balance sheet as it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months
after the reporting date.
u. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker.

151
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

The Board of Directors of the Company has identified the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer as the
chief operating decision maker of the Company.
v. Contingent liability
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made where there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and
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 the past events where
it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of
the amount cannot be made.
w. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The Company presents the basic and diluted EPS data for its equity shares. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the
net profit for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the net profit for the year
attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving
basic EPS for the effects of all the equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares (which includes the various stock options granted to employees).
x. Dividends
Dividend to equity shareholders is recognized as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by the
equity shareholders. Interim dividends that are declared by the Board of Directors without the need for equity
shareholders' approvals are recognized as a liability and deducted from shareholders' equity in the year in which
the dividends are declared by the Board of directors.
3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's standalone financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the reporting date. However, 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 Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments,
which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the standalone financial statements:
i. Revenue from contracts with customers
A significant portion of the Company’s business relates to EPC contracts which is accounted using cost-based
input method, recognizing revenue as the performance on the contract progresses. This requires
management to make judgement with respect to identifying contracts for which revenue need to be
recognised over a period of time, depending upon when the customer consumes the benefit, when the control
is passed to customer, whether the asset created has an alternative use and whether the Company has right
to payment for performance completed till date, either contractually or legally. The input method requires
management to make significant judgements of the extent of progress towards completion including
accounting of multiple contracts which need to be combined and considered as a single contract.
ii. Legal contingencies
The Company has received various orders and notices from tax authorities in respect of direct taxes and
indirect taxes. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters and
provides provisions for probable losses including the estimate of legal expense to resolve such matters. In
making the decision regarding the need for loss provisions, management considers the degree of probability

152
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The
filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the company or the disclosure of any such suit or
assertions, does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate.
iii. Segment reporting
Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segments’ requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the
purpose of disclosure in standalone financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. The standard also
requires Management to make judgments with respect to aggregation of certain operating segments into
one or more reportable segment.
Operating segments used to present segment information are identified based on the internal reports used
and reviewed by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer to assess performance and allocate
resources. The management has determined that some of the segments exhibit similar economic
characteristics and meet other aggregation criteria and accordingly aggregated into three reportable
segments i.e. energy, environment and chemical.
iv. Non-current assets held for disposal and discontinued operations
As part of organisational restructuring, the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on
February 8, 2019, had approved the transfer of its Boiler & Heater (B&H) business to Thermax Babcock &
Wilcox Energy Solutions Private Limited (TBWES) on a going concern basis through slump sale. This was also
approved by the Shareholders on March 27, 2019. The B&H business was transferred to TBWES w.e.f.
October 01, 2019. Accordingly, the results of B&H business have been classified as discontinued operations
in the standalone financial results in accordance with Ind AS 105 upto the date of such transfer. The
management considered the business to meet the criteria to be classified as held for distribution under Ind
AS 105.
For more details on discontinued operations, refer note 29
3.2 Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation 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. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about
future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the
control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) :
The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the
carrying amounts of its assets such as investments, loans, receivables, unbilled revenues and inventories.
In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions
because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these financial statements has used
internal and external sources of information including credit reports and related information, economic forecasts
and consensus estimates from market sources on the expected future performance of the Company. The
Company has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current estimates expects
the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's financial
statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these standalone financial statements.

153
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

i. EPC contracts:
• Provisions for liquidated damages claims (LDs): The Company provides for LD claims to the extent that it is
highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This requires an
estimate of the amount of LDs payable under a claim which involves a number of management judgments and
assumptions regarding the amounts to be recognized.
• Project cost to complete estimates: At each reporting date, the Company is required to estimate costs to
complete on fixed-price contracts. Estimating costs to complete on such contracts requires the Company to
make estimates of future costs to be incurred, based on work to be performed beyond the reporting date.
This estimate will impact revenues, cost of sales, work-in-progress, billings in excess of costs, estimated
earnings and accrued contract expenses.
• Recognition of contract variations: The Company recognises revenues and margins from contract variations
where it is considered probable that they will be awarded by the customer and this requires management to
assess the likelihood of such an award being made by reference to customer communications and other
forms of documentary evidence.
• Provision for onerous contracts: The Company provides for future losses on EPC contracts where it is
considered highly probable that the contract costs are likely to exceed revenues in future years. Estimating
these future losses involves a number of assumptions about the achievement of contract performance
targets and the likely levels of future cost escalation over time. Refer note 19(b) for details for provision for
onerous contracts.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable
amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of
disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for
similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use
calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for
the next five years as approved by the Management and do not include restructuring activities that the
Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance
of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as
well as the expected future cash-inflows and the terminal growth rate used.
iii. Defined benefit plans - gratuity
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. All assumptions are reviewed
at each reporting date. The parameter which is most subjected to change is the discount rate. In determining
the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of
government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate. Those mortality tables
tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity
increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in
note 34.
iv. Fair value measurement of unquoted 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

154
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but
where this is not feasible, a degree of assumption is required in establishing fair values. Assumptions 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 37 for further disclosures.
v. Warranty provision
The Company generally offers warranty for its various products. Warranty costs are provided based on a
technical estimate of the costs required to be incurred for repairs, replacements, material costs, servicing
cost and past experience in respect of warranty costs. Management estimates the related provision for
future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information, as well as recent trends that might
suggest that past cost information may differ from future claims. The assumptions made in current period are
consistent with those in the prior year. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the
success of the Company’s productivity and quality initiatives. Warranty provisions are discounted using a
pre-tax discount rate which reflects current market assessments of time value of money and risks specific to
the liability. Refer note 19 for further details.
vi. Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default, expected loss
rates and timing of cash flows. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the
inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions
including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each
reporting period.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine ECL impairment allowance on
portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over
the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting
date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are
analysed. On that basis, the Company estimates a default rate of total revenue for trade receivables and
contract revenue for contract assets. The Company follows provisioning norms based on ageing of
receivables to estimate the impairment allowance under ECL. For retention receivables, the Company
additionally categorizes the receivables due from Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Non-PSUs and
follows a wider aged bucket provisioning norms as the performance guarantee tests require certain time
period after the supplies are completed. Refer note 7 and 9(b) for details of impairment allowance recognized
at the reporting date.
vii. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The Company determines, based on independent technical assessment, the estimated useful lives of its
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for calculating depreciation and amortisation. This
estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear.
Management reviews the residual value and useful lives annually and future depreciation and amortisation
charge would be adjusted where the management believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.
Refer note 2.3(e) and 2.3(f) above for further details.
viii. Deferred taxes
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the realization of future tax benefits is
sufficiently probable to recognize deferred tax assets. This assessment requires the use of significant
estimates with respect to assessment of future taxable income. The recorded amount of total deferred tax
assets could change if estimates of projected future taxable income or if changes in current tax regulations
are enacted. Refer note 10 for further information on potential tax benefits for which no deferred tax asset is
recognized.

*The Company has computed the tax expense of the current financial period as per the tax regime announced under section 115BAA of
the Income-tax Act, 1961. Accordingly, (a) the current and deferred tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2020, has been
determined at the rate of 25.17% and (b) the deferred tax assets as at April 1, 2019, have been written down considering the enacted rate
of 25.17%.
The Company offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off income tax assets and liabilities and
the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
The Company has not recognised deferred tax asset on impairment losses.
During the year, the Company has paid dividends to its shareholders. This has resulted in payment of Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) to
the taxation authorities. The Company believes that DDT represents additional payment to taxation authority on behalf of the
shareholders. Hence, DDT paid is charged to equity.

Provision for decommissioning liability


A provision has been recognised for decommissioning costs associated with the property taken on lease by the Company. The
Company is committed to restore the site as a result of the conclusion of manufacturing activities. The timing of cash outflows in
respect of such provision cannot be reasonably determined.
Provision for warranties
Warranty costs are provided based on a technical estimate of the costs required to be incurred for repairs, replacements, material
costs, servicing cost and past experience in respect of such costs. It is expected that this expenditure will be incurred over the
contracted warranty period ranging up to 2 years. If warranty claim costs vary by 10% from management's estimate, the warranty
provisions would be an estimated Rs. 3.95 higher or lower (March 31, 2019 Rs. 3.37)
Provision for onerous contracts
A provision for expected loss on construction contracts is recognised when it is probable that the contracts costs will exceed total
contract revenue. For all other contracts, provision is made when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation under the
contract exceed the estimated economic benefits. The timing of cash outflows in respect of such provision is over the contract
period.

v) Performance obligations
Performance obligation in a project or a group of projects which are contracted at or near same time with the same or related parties and
negotiated simultaneously, are combined for the purpose of evaluation. The Company has estimated that multiple commitments
pertaining to engineering procurement and commissioning of such projects is a single performance obligation which is spread over
different accounting periods.
Performance obligation for products are evaluated on standalone basis, recognised at a point in time. Generally, performance obligations
for such contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less.
There are no major contracts with customers which have significant financing component included within them and therefore there is no
difference between the timing of satisfaction of performance obligation vis a vis the timing of the payment.
Remaining performance obligations:
The following table includes revenue expected to be recognised in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or
partially unsatisfied) at the reporting date.
The Company applies practical expedient included in para 121 of Ind AS 115 and does not disclose information about its remaining
performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less.

March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019

The Company expects that a significant portion of the remaining performance obligation will be completed in next 1 to 2 years.

vi) Reconciliation between revenue recognised in Statement of profit and loss and contract price
There is no significant variation between revenue recognised in Statement of profit and loss and contract price except price variation
claims, which are considered to be part of contract price.

34 Gratuity
The Company operates a defined benefit plan viz. gratuity for its employees. Under the gratuity plan, every employee who has
completed at least specified years of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days (minimum) of the last drawn salary for each
completed year of service. The scheme is funded with an insurance Company in the form of qualifying insurance policy. The fund has
formed a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees.
The fund is subject to risks such as asset volatility, changes in assets yields and asset liability mismatch risk. In managing the plan assets,
Board of Trustees reviews and manages these risks associated with the funded plan. Each year, the Board of Trustees reviews the level of
funding in the gratuity plan. Such a review includes asset-liability matching strategy and investment risk management policy (which
includes contributing to plans that invest in risk-averse markets). The Board of Trustees aim to keep annual contributions relatively
stable at a level such that no plan deficits (based on valuation performed) will arise.

III Significant assumptions

The principal actuarial assumptions were as follows :

Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019

Discount rate 6.04% 7.64%


Salary growth rate 7.00% 7.00%
Normal retirement age 60 years 60 years
Mortality table Indian Assured Indian Assured
Lives Mortality Lives Mortality
(2012-14) Ultimate (2012-14) Ultimate
Employee turnover 5% to 10% 5% to 10%

IV Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of defined obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:

Assumption Impact on defined benefit obligation


March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
Discount rate
1.00% increase Decrease by 5.08 Decrease by 5.01
1.00% decrease Increase by 5.76 Increase by 5.65
Future salary increase
1.00% increase Increase by 5.26 Increase by 5.20
1.00% decrease Decrease by 4.73 Decrease by 4.70
Attrition rate
1.00% increase Increase by 0.52 Increase by 0.15
1.00% decrease Decrease by 0.58 Decrease by 0.18

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in 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 obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of 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 liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous periods.
The following are the expected cash flows to the defined benefit plan in future years:

Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019

Within next 12 months 11.19 10.46


Between 2-5 years 27.67 37.57
Next 5 years 23.31 29.37

The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 9 years (March 31, 2019: 9 years)

V The major categories of plan assets are as follows:

Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019

Investments with Insurer (LIC of India) 100.00% 100.00%

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with banks. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using
valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs which captures credit quality of counterparties,
foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies and currency basis spreads between the
respective currencies. The company has a practice to settle all derivative contracts on or before its maturity using the sanctioned
finance limits with banks, thereby eliminating both counterparty and the Company's own non-performance risk. The changes in
counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge
relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.

38 (a) Financial risk management


The Company's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise trade and other payables and borrowings. The main
purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include loans,
trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTPL
investments and enters into derivative transactions.
Risk is inherent in the Company’s activities but it is managed through a process of on going identification, measurement and monitoring,
subject to risk limits and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the Company’s continuing profitability and each
individual within the Company is accountable for the risk exposures relating to his or her responsibilities. The Company is exposed to
market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company’s Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the overall risk management approach and for approving the risk
strategies and principles. No significant changes were made in the risk management objectives and policies during the years ended
March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The management of the Company reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks
which are summarised below:

199
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

I Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of an asset will fluctuate as a result of changes in market variables such as interest rates,
foreign exchange rates and equity prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual investment or its
issuer or factors affecting all investments traded in the market.
Market risk is managed on the basis of pre-determined asset allocations across various asset categories, diversification of assets
in terms of geographical distribution and industry concentration, a continuous appraisal of market conditions and trends and
management’s estimate of long and short term changes in fair value.
a 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 is not currently exposed significantly to such risk.
b Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and relevant assets and liabilities are denominated in a
currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial
instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Foreign exchange risk is managed on the basis of limits determined by management and a continuous assessment of
current and expected exchange rate movements and entering into derivative contracts (foreign currency forward
contracts) that hedge the maximum period of exposure of underlying transactions (i.e. highly probable forecast sales and
purchases).
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives
to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions the derivatives cover the period of
exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting
receivable or payable that is denominated in the foreign currency.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, SEK and EUR 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 including foreign currency derivatives not designated as cash flow hedge and foreign
currency derivatives with underlying foreign currency monetary assets/liabilities designated as cash flow hedge. The
impact on the Company's pre-tax equity is due to changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as
cash flow hedges.
Impact on profit before tax Impact on other components

Favourable impact shown as positive and adverse impact as negative.


The exposure to other foreign currencies is not significant to the Company's financial statements.

200
Notes to the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

c Price risk
The Company's equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the
investment securities. These securities are unquoted. The Company manages the equity price risk through diversification
and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the
Company's senior management on a regular basis. The Company's Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity
investment decisions. The Company is not currently exposed significantly to such risk.

II 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 contract assets)
and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control
relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis
for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous group and assessed for
impairment collectively. The calculation is based on losses as per historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in notes 7 and 9(b) above. The charge of impairment
to Statement of profit and loss is disclosed in note 28(a) above. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to
trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent
markets.
Financial instruments and bank deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks, mutual funds, loans and other financial assets are managed by the Company's treasury
department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties
having a good market reputation and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the
concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for bank balances and deposits as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is the
carrying amounts as disclosed in Note 9(a) and 13, maximum exposure relating to financial guarantees is disclosed in note 33 and
financial derivative instruments in notes 9(b) and 17(b) to the financial statements.

III Liquidity risk


Prudent 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 and to close out market positions. Due
to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability
under committed credit lines.
The 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. This is generally carried out at operating segments level
in the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. In addition, the Company's liquidity management
policy involves projecting future cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these and monitoring
balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal requirements.

38 (b) Hedging activities and derivatives


Cash flow hedges
Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange forward contracts measured at fair value through OCI are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges
of forecast sales in USD, EUR, SEK and forecast purchases in USD, SEK, JPY. These forecast transactions are highly probable, and
cover the Company's expected future sales and future purchases based on the orders received.
While the Company also enters into other foreign exchange forward contracts with the intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of
expected sales and purchases, these other contracts are not designated in hedge relationships and are measured at fair value
through profit or loss.
The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and purchases and changes in
foreign exchange forward rates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of Thermax Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated Ind AS financial statements of Thermax Limited (hereinafter referred to as
“the Holding Company”), its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”)
comprising of the consolidated Balance sheet as at March 31, 2020, the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, including
other comprehensive income, the consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated Ind AS financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration
of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the subsidiaries, the
aforesaid consolidated Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended
(“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2020, their consolidated profit including
other comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year
ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of
the Group in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

Emphasis of Matters

(a) We draw attention to note 31(A)(a) of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements relating to the demand orders on the
Group for Rs. 1,385.47 crores (including penalty of Rs. 331.88 crores and excluding interest not presently quantified) by
the Commissioner of Central Excise, Pune. The Holding Company has filed an appeal against the said orders.

(b) We draw attention to note 43 of the accompanying consolidated Ind AS financial statements which describes the
management's evaluation of impact of uncertainties related to COVID-19 and its consequential effects on the carrying
value of its intangible assets, trade receivables, contract balances and inventories as at March 31, 2020 and the
operations of the Group.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do

205
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have
fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial
statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial
statements. The results of audit procedures performed by us and by other auditors of components not audited by us, as
reported by them in their audit reports furnished to us by the management, including those procedures performed to address
the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

209
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Chairman’s statement, Managing Director’s statement, Business Responsibility Report and
Director’s Report including annexure to the Director’s Report of the Annual Report of the Group, but does not include the
consolidated Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated Ind AS financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we
have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that
fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated Ind AS
financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position,
consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated
statement of changes in equity of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible
for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of
the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated Ind AS financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have
been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements by the Directors of the Holding
Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the
Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the
Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial
reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated Ind AS financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

210
Ÿ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Ÿ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in
place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Ÿ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
Ÿ Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated Ind AS financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Ÿ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Ÿ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to
express an opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial
statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS
financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the
consolidated Ind AS financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020 and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.

211
Other Matters
(a) We did not audit the financial statements and other financial information, in respect of 23 subsidiaries, 2 branches of a
subsidiary and various trusts, whose Ind AS financial statements include total assets of Rs. 836.07 crores as at March 31,

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the
Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of Thermax Limited as of and for the year ended
March 31, 2020, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Thermax Limited (hereinafter
referred to as the “Holding Company”) and its subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, are
responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting
criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance
Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its
business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection
of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial
information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference
to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance
Note and the Standards on Auditing, both, issued by ICAI, and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial
controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements were established and
maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over
financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our
audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls
over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their
reports referred to in the ‘Other Matters’ paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial
Statements
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial
statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of

214
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Consolidated Ind AS
Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated
Ind AS financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements to future periods are subject
to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS consolidated financial
statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, have, maintained in all
material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS
financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS
financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting
criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance
Note issued by the ICAI.
Other Matter
Our report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls
over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Holding Company, insofar as it
relates to 2 subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of
such subsidiaries incorporated in India.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

1. Corporate information
Thermax Limited (‘the Holding Company' 'or the Company') and its subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘the Group’) and
(joint ventures) offers solutions to energy, environment and chemical sectors. The Group's portfolio includes boilers and
heaters, absorption chillers/ heat pumps, power plants, solar equipment, air pollution control equipment/system, water
and waste recycle plant, ion exchange resins and performance chemicals and related services.
The Holding Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India. It is listed on the BSE Limited (BSE)
and National Stock Exchange Limited (NSE) in India. The address of its registered office is D-13, MIDC Industrial Area,
R.D. Aga Road, Chinchwad, Pune- 411019, India. The Board of Directors have authorized to issue these financial
statements on June 18, 2020. The CIN of the Company is L29299PN1980PLC022787.
2. Significant accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation, measurement and consolidation
(a) Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS), notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time)
and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) (as amended) as
applicable.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting
judgements, estimates and assumptions. It also requires the management to exercise judgment in the process of
applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
The accounting policies adopted for preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements have
been consistently applied except for changes resulting from amendments to Ind AS issued by the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs, effective for financial years beginning on or after April 1, 2019 as disclosed in note 2.2.
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual and going concern basis under historical
cost convention except the following:
• Derivative financial instruments;
• Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial
instruments); and
• Defined benefit plans whereby the plan assets are measured at fair value.
(c) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Holding Company and its
subsidiaries as at March 31, 2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of
the investee);
• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and
when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all
relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

221
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

• The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;
• The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights; and
• The size of the group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other
voting rights holders.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of an entity begins when the Group obtains
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income
and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other
events in similar circumstances. If a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the
consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate
adjustments are made to that group member's financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial
statements to ensure conformity with the group's accounting policies.
The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting
date as that of the Holding Company, i.e., year ended March 31, 2020.
Consolidation procedure
(a) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its
subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets
and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
(b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion
of equity of each subsidiary. The accounting policy regarding business combinations and goodwill explains
how to account for any related goodwill.
(c) Eliminate in full, intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are
recognized in assets, such as inventory and property, plant and equipment, are eliminated in full). Intragroup
losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Ind AS
12 ‘Income Taxes’ applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses
resulting from intragroup transactions.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the
parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income,
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on
consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
• Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
• Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
• Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
• Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;
• Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;
• Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

222
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

• Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or retained
earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or
liabilities.
2.2. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
2.2.1 Ind AS 116 - Leases
The Group has adopted Ind AS 116 w.e.f. April 1, 2019. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption
of this new accounting standard are described below.
Ind AS 116 was issued on March 30, 2019 and supersedes Ind AS 17 on Leases. Ind AS 116 introduces significant
changes to lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance lease and requiring the
recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases
and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have
remained largely unchanged.
a. Impact of the new definition of a lease
The Group used the practical expedient available in the transition to Ind AS 116 so as not to reassess whether a
contract is or contains a lease, therefore, the lease definition set out in Ind AS 17 remained applicable to leases
contracted or modified prior to April 1, 2019. The Group applied the lease definition and related guidance
described in Ind AS 116 to all lease agreements entered or modified on or after April 1, 2019.
b. Impact on Lessee Accounting
(i) Former Operating Leases
Ind AS 116 changes how the Group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under Ind AS
17, which were off balance sheet.
Applying Ind AS 116, for all leases, the Group:
(a) Recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated financial statements of financial
position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments;
(b) Recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in consolidated
statements of profit and loss;
(c) Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities)
and interest (presented within financing activities) in the consolidated financial statements of cash
flows.
Under Ind AS 116, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with Ind AS 36.
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as laptop,
printers, personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones), the Group has opted to
recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by Ind AS 116. This expense is presented
within ‘other expenses’ in consolidated statements of profit and loss.
(ii) Former finance leases
The main differences between Ind AS 116 and Ind AS 17 with respect to contracts formerly classified
as finance leases is the measurement of the residual value guarantees provided by the lessee to the
lessor. Ind AS 116 requires that the Group recognises as part of its lease liability only the amount expected
to be payable under a residual value guarantee, rather than the maximum amount guaranteed as
required by Ind AS 17. This change did not have a material effect on the Groups’s consolidated financial
statements.

223
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

c. Financial impact of the initial application of Ind AS 116


On transition to Ind AS 116, the Group has elected to adopt modified retrospective approach. Consequently, the
Group recorded the lease liability at the value of future lease payment and right of use of asset at an amount equal
to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease
recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application. Under this approach, there were
no material adjustments required to the retained earnings at April 1, 2019.
On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of 'Right of Use' asset and Lease obligation
of Rs. 181.5 crores and Rs. 16.3 crores respectively.
The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:
1. Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months
of lease term on the date of initial application
2. Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial
application
2.2.2. Others
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time for the year ended March 31, 2020, but do
not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any
standards or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as
the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-
controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net
assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their
acquisition date fair values. For this purpose, the liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities representing
present obligation and they are measured at their acquisition fair values irrespective of the fact that outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits is not probable. However, the following assets and liabilities acquired in a
business combination are measured at the basis indicated below:
• Deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are
recognized and measured in accordance with Ind AS 12 ‘Income Taxes’ and Ind AS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’,
respectively.
• Reacquired rights are measured at a value determined on the basis of the remaining contractual term of the
related contract. Such valuation does not consider potential renewal of the reacquired right.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent
conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the
acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured at its
acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss or OCI, as appropriate.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the
amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate

224
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and
all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the
acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the
aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital
reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the entity recognizes the gain directly in equity
as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of
impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of
the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether
other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently
when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is
less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit, pro-rata, based on the carrying amount of each asset in
the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill
is not reversed in subsequent periods.
b. Investment in joint ventures
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have
rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the
parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over the
subsidiaries.
The Group’s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the investment in a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to
recognize changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill
relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment
individually.
The Consolidated Statement of profit and loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of its joint
ventures. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. Unrealised gains and losses
resulting from transactions between the Group and a joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in
the joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of a joint venture is shown on the face of the Consolidated
Statement of profit and loss.
The financial statements of the joint ventures are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment
loss on its investment in its joint ventures. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective
evidence that the investment in the joint ventures is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates
the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint ventures and its
carrying value, and then recognizes the loss as ‘Share of loss of joint ventures’ in the Consolidated Statement of
profit or loss.
c. Current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Group's normal operating cycle

225
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and services and the time
between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has
ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
d. Foreign currencies
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in INR, which is also the functional currency of the
Company. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The Group uses the direct method of
consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects the
amount that arises from using this method.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency spot rates at the date the
transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on
settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
Group companies
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into INR at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. For practical reasons, the group uses an average rate to translate income and expense
items, if the average rate approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The exchange
differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the
component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in profit or loss.
Any goodwill arising in the acquisition/ business combination of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the
foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.
e. Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• in the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a
liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs.

226
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained
above.
This note summarizes accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant
notes.
• Disclosures for significant judgements, estimates and assumptions (note 3)
• Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy (note 39)
• Financial instruments (including those carried at amortized cost) (note 39)
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
f. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and capital work in progress are stated at cost of acquisition or construction
net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. All significant costs relating to the acquisition and
installation of PPE are capitalised. Subsequent costs/replacement costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the
replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Consolidated Statement of
profit and loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.
The Group identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part
has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of
the remaining asset.
Depreciation on PPE is calculated on a straight line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives
estimated by the management. The identified components are depreciated separately over their useful lives; the
remaining components are depreciated over the life of the principal asset.
The management has estimated, supported by independent assessment by professionals, the useful lives of certain
classes of assets. The following useful lives are adopted by the management:

227
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Asset category Group's estimate of Useful life as prescribed


useful life (years) under Schedule II (years)
Factory buildings 28 to 30 30
Other buildings 58 60
Plant and equipment 5 to 25 15 to 20
Roads 5 to 30 5 to 10
Office equipment 15 15
Furniture and fixtures 15 10
Computers and data processing units 4 to 6 3 to 6
Vehicles 7 to 10 8

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of PPE are reviewed on a regular basis and changes in
estimates, when relevant, are accounted for on a prospective basis.
g. Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets
acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related
expenditure is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is
incurred.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the
amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each
reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and
are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of
another asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit
and loss when the asset is derecognized.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized
as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate all the following:
l The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
l Its intention to complete the asset
l Its ability to use or sell the asset
l How the asset will generate future economic benefits
l The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset
l The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development.

228
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the
asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized on
a straight line basis over the period of expected future benefit from the related project, i.e., the estimated useful life
subject to a maximum of ten years. Amortization is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss unless such
expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset. During the period of development, the asset is tested for
impairment annually.
A summary of amortization rates applied to the Group's intangible assets are as below:

Asset category Life (years)


Technical know-how 3 to 6
Computer software 3 to 5

h. Inventories
Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost
includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Finished goods and work in progress are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct
materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on a weighted
average basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Write down of inventories are calculated based on an
analysis of foreseeable changes in demand, technology, market conditions and ageing of inventories.
i. Revenue recognition
i. Revenue from Contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights
of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and
collectability of consideration is probable. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue
arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also
exposed to inventory and credit risks. The Group collects goods and services tax on behalf of the government and,
therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the Group. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.
The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from
contracts with customers are provided in note 3.
The Group has following streams of revenue:
• Revenue from Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts are contracts (or a group of contracts secured
together) specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset which refers to any project for construction
of plants and systems, involving designing, engineering, fabrication, supply, erection (or supervision thereof),
commissioning, guaranteeing performance thereof etc., execution of which is spread over different
accounting periods. The Group identifies distinct performance obligations in each contract. For most of the

229
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

project contracts, the customer contracts with the Group to provide a significant service of integrating a
complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability. Hence, the entire contract is
accounted for as one performance obligation.
The Group may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, in which case the Group
separates the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than
one performance obligation, the Group allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation
in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services
underlying each performance obligation. The Group uses the expected cost plus a margin approach to
estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation in case of contracts with more than one
distinct performance obligations.
The Group assesses for the timing of revenue recognition in case of each distinct performance obligation. The
Group first assesses whether the revenue can be recognized over a period of time if any of the following
criteria is met:
(a) The customer simultaneously consumes the benefits as the Group performs, or
(b) The customer controls the work-in-progress, or
(c) The Group’s performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the Group and the Group
has right to payment for performance completed till date
The Group recognizes revenue over time as it performs because of continuous transfer of control to the
customers. For all project contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by the
fact that the customers typically control the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination
clauses or by the rights of the Group to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit to
deliver products or services that do not have an alternative use.
The Group uses cost-based measure of progress (or input method) for contracts because it best depicts the
transfer of control to the customer which occurs as it incurs costs on contracts. Under the cost-based
measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs
incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues,
including estimated profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
The Group estimates variable consideration amount which it expects to be entitled under the contract and
includes it in the transaction price to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal of cumulative
revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty associated with it is subsequently resolved. The
estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the
transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information
(historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
Costs associated with bidding for contracts are charged to the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss
when they are incurred. Costs that relate directly to a contract and are incurred in securing the contract are
included as part of the contract costs if they can be separately identified and measured reliably and it is
probable that the contract will be obtained.
Contract modification, when approved by both the parties to the contract, are considered as modification, if it
creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the contract modifications
are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided under the
contract prior to modifications and are therefore, accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of
a contract modification is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.
When it becomes probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue, the Group
recognizes the expected losses from onerous contract as an expense immediately.

230
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Penalties for any delay or improper execution of a contract are recognized as a deduction from revenue. In
the balance sheet, such provisions are presented on net basis of the contract receivables.
• Revenue from Sale of goods
If the criteria for revenue under over-a-period of time as mentioned above are not met, the Group recognizes
revenue at a point-in-time. The point-in-time is determined when the control of the goods or services is transferred
which is generally determined based on when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the
customer. Apart from this, the Group also considers its present right to payment, the legal title to the goods, the
physical possession and the customer acceptance in determining the point in time where control has been
transferred. The Group provides for warranty provision for general repairs up to 18 – 24 months on its products
sold, in line with the industry practice. A liability is recognized at the time the product is sold. The Group does not
provide any extended warranties.
• Revenue from Sale of services
Revenue in respect of operation and maintenance contract, awarded on a standalone basis or included in long term
contracts and identified as a separate performance obligation, is recognized on a time proportion basis under the
contracts.
Contract balances
Contract assets: A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the
customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays
consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration and are
transferred to trade receivables on completion of milestones and its related invoicing. Contract assets are
recorded in balance sheet as unbilled revenue.
Trade receivables: A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional
(i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Also refer note 2.3(j) below.
Contract liabilities: A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the
Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays
consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when
the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue
when the Group satisfies the performance obligation. Contract liabilities are recorded in balance sheet as
unearned revenue and customer advances as the case may be.
ii. Interest income
For all debt instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate
(EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of
the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset
or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. Interest income is included in finance income in the Consolidated
Statement of profit and loss.
iii. Dividend
Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.
iv. Rental income
Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
j. 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.

231
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Financial assets
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through Profit and Loss, transactions costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. For all
subsequent measurements financial assets are classified in following categories by the Group:
i. Debt instruments at amortized cost
A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
(a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows, and
(b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance
costs/income in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized
in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss.
ii. Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI is classified as FVTPL.
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of profit and loss.
iii. Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for
trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group may make an irrevocable election to
present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Group makes such election on an
instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the Consolidated
Statement of profit and loss, even on the sale of the investment. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative
gain or loss within equity.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
primarily derecognized when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through" arrangement;
and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group
has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss and credit risk exposure on the financial assets that are debt instruments measured
at amortized costs e.g. loans, deposits, trade receivables, contractual receivables and bank balances. The Group

232
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment allowance. The application of simplified approach does
not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment allowance based on lifetime
ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether
there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased
significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased
significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that
there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing
impairment allowance based on 12-month ECL. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic
conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.
ECL impairment allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/expense in the
Consolidated Statement of profit and loss under the head 'other expenses' in the Consolidated Statement of profit
and loss. ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance
sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Group does not
reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings,
payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial
liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and
borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as fair value through profit and loss
or at amortized cost.
All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
profit and loss. Amortised cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. After
initial recognition the financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are
recognized in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or cost that are
integral part on EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance cost in the Consolidated Statement of profit and
loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized 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
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss.
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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,
to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
k. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps, to
hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are

233
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

initially recognized 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.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the Consolidated
Statement of profit and loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized 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 recognized asset or liability or
an unrecognized 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 recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the
foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to
which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Group'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 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 the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying
value of the hedged item and is also recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss as finance costs.
The Group has not undertaken Fair value hedges.
(ii) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in OCI in the cash flow hedge
reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss.
The Group uses forward currency contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency risk in forecast
transactions and firm commitments. The ineffective portion relating to foreign currency contracts is recognized in
consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss when the hedged
transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or
when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the
amounts recognized in 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 recognized in OCI remains separately in equity until the
forecast transaction occurs or the foreign currency firm commitment is met.

l. Share held by ESOP and Welfare trusts


The Group has created ESOP Trust and Welfare trusts for providing share-based payment to/welfare of its
employees and various other employee benefit trusts for providing other employee benefits such as loans at
concessional rates for various purposes, collectively referred to as Employee Benefit Trusts. Own equity
instruments are recognized at cost and deducted from equity.
m. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the
purpose of the Consolidated Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term
deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the
Group's cash management.
n. Government Grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all
attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on
a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.
When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in proportion to the depreciation charged over the
expected useful life of the related asset. The Group accounts for export incentives for export of goods if the
entitlements can be estimated with reasonable accuracy and conditions precedent to claims are fulfilled.
o. Share capital
Equity shares issued to shareholders are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of
new equity shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax effects.
p. Income tax
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted, at the reporting date in the tax jurisdictions where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized either in OCI or in equity.
Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax
credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be
utilised. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.

235
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in OCI or
in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in
equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity (or each tax group of
entities when applicable) and the same taxation authority.
The Group determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more
other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.
The Group applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments.
q. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest
and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes
exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
r. Leases
Group as a lessee
The Group lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, office buildings, guest house and other office
equipment. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset,
the Group assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Group has substantially
all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Group has the right to
direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use assets and a corresponding lease
liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less
(short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term.
Right-of-use assets and lease liability includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be
exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs
less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of
impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is
determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent
of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit
(CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments include
fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and
amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.

236
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Lease liability and right-of-use assets have been separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and lease
payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
For a contracts that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the
Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone
price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
Group as a lessor
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are
classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to
the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the
Group to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Group's net
investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic
rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.
Revenue from sale of utilities is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the
customer, generally on supply of the utilities. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
s. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Unit's (CGU) fair
value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by
valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared
separately for each of the Group's CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast
calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and
applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered
by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Group extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or
declining growth rate for subsequent periods, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate
does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which
the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used. Impairment losses including impairment on
inventory are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an
indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists,
the Group estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed
only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no

237
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at the year-end and when circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to
which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
t. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group 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. When the Group expects some or all of a
provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a
separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is
presented in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
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 recognized as a finance cost.
Warranty provisions
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognized when the product is sold or service provided to the customer.
Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty related costs is revised
annually.
Provision for onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a
contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is
measured at the present value of the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is
established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Decommissioning liability
The Group records a provision for decommissioning costs of its manufacturing facilities. Decommissioning costs
are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are
recognized as part of the cost of the particular asset. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and
recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss as finance cost. The estimated future costs of
decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in
the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.
u. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Group has no obligation,
other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Group recognizes contribution payable to the
provident fund scheme 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 recognized 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.
The Company and some of its Indian subsidiaries operate a defined benefit gratuity plan, which requires
contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.

238
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, 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 recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements
are not reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:
Ø The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
Ø The date that the Group recognizes related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Group
recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Consolidated Statement
of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-
routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee
benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a
result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term
employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on
the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. The Group presents the leave as a
current liability in the balance sheet as it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months
after the reporting date.
v. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker.
The Board of Directors of the Company has identified the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer as the
chief operating decision maker of the Group.
w. Contingent liability
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made where there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and
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 Group or a present obligation that arises from the past events where it is
either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the
amount cannot be made.
x. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The Group presents the basic and diluted EPS data for its equity shares. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net
profit for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the net profit for the year attributable to
the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS for
the effects of all the equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares (which includes the various stock options granted to employees).

239
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

y. Dividends
Dividend to equity shareholders is recognized as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by the
equity shareholders. Interim dividends that are declared by the Board of Directors without the need for equity
shareholders' approvals are recognized as a liability and deducted from shareholders' equity in the year in which
the dividends are declared by the Board of directors.
3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures and including the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the reporting date. However, 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 Judgements
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
i. Revenue from contracts with customers
A significant portion of the Group’s business relates to EPC contracts which is accounted using cost-based
input method, recognizing revenue as the performance on the contract progresses. This requires
management to make judgement with respect to identifying contracts for which revenue need to be
recognised over a period of time, depending upon when the customer consumes the benefit, when the control
is passed to customer, whether the asset created has an alternative use and whether the Group has right to
payment for performance completed till date, either contractually or legally. The input method requires
management to make significant judgments of the extent of progress towards completion including
accounting of multiple contracts which need to be combined and considered as a single contract.
ii. Consolidation
Structured Entities
The Company has an ESOP trust and various Employee Welfare Trusts for the welfare of its employees.
Determination of the Group’s control over these trusts for the purpose of consolidation requires judgement
on the part of the Management of the Group.
The ESOP trust and various Employee Welfare Trusts, being separate legal entities, are not considered for the
purpose of consolidation in the standalone financial statements. However, these trusts have been
consolidated in the consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 110.
iii. Arrangements in the nature of lease
The Group has entered into certain arrangements with its customers where the Group will supply
heat/steam by installing the boiler/heater at the customers’ premises. The Group has determined, based on
an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that fulfillment of these arrangement is
dependent on the use of specific assets and the arrangement conveys to customers a right to use these
specific assets. Accordingly, the Group has determined that these arrangements qualify as arrangements in
the form of lease as per Ind AS 116. The Group has also determined, based on evaluation of terms and
conditions of these arrangements, such as the contract term constituting a major part of the economic life of
the specific assets and the fair value of the asset, that it has transferred the significant risks and rewards in
these assets to the customers and therefore these embedded lease arrangements have been classified as
finance leases. The separation of lease and non-lease elements in these arrangements have been made at
relative fair value of these elements, requiring Management judgment.

240
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

iv. Contingencies relating to tax and legal matters


The Group has received various orders and notices from tax authorities in respect of direct taxes and indirect
taxes. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters and provides
provisions for probable losses including the estimate of legal expense to resolve such matters. In making the
decision regarding the need for loss provisions, management considers the degree of probability of an
unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The filing of
a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the Group or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions, does not
automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate.
v. Segment reporting
Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segments’ requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the
purpose of disclosure in consolidated financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. The Standard also
requires Management to make judgments with respect to aggregation of certain operating segments into
one or more reportable segment.
Operating segments used to present segment information are identified based on the internal reports used
and reviewed by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer to assess performance and allocate
resources. The management has determined that some of the segments exhibit similar economic
characteristics and meet other aggregation criteria and accordingly aggregated into three reportable
segments i.e. energy, environment and chemical.
vi. Segregation of lease and non-lease components of the consideration
The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling
price basis by determining the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service
underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction price in proportion to
those stand-alone selling prices. Since the consideration is inclusive of the lease component, the stand-alone
selling price is not directly observable. Hence, the Group estimates the standalone selling price by
considering all the information (including market conditions, entity-specific factors and information about
the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available to the Group.
3.2 Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation 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. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions
about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond
the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from Corona virus Disease (COVID 19):
The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the
carrying amounts of its assets such as investments, loans, receivables, unbilled revenues, inventories, goodwill and
intangible assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global
economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Group, as at the date of approval of these financial statements
has used internal and external sources of information including credit reports and related information, economic
forecasts and consensus estimates from market sources on the expected future performance of the Group. The
Group has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current estimates expects the
carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Group's financial statements
may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

241
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

i. EPC contracts:
• Provisions for liquidated damages claims (LDs): The Group provides for LD claims to the extent that it is
highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This requires an
estimate of the amount of LDs payable under a claim which involves a number of management judgments and
assumptions regarding the amounts to be recognized.
• Project cost to complete estimates: At each reporting date, the Group is required to estimate costs to
complete on fixed-price contracts. Estimating costs to complete on such contracts requires the Group to
make estimates of future costs to be incurred, based on work to be performed beyond the reporting date.
This estimate will impact revenues, cost of sales, work-in-progress, billings in excess of costs, estimated
earnings and accrued contract expenses.
• Recognition of contract variations: The Group recognises revenues and margins from contract variations
where it is considered probable that they will be awarded by the customer and this requires management to
assess the likelihood of such an award being made by reference to customer communications and other
forms of documentary evidence.
• Provision for onerous contracts: The Group provides for future losses on EPC contracts where it is
considered highly probable that the contract costs are likely to exceed revenues in future years. Estimating
these future losses involves a number of assumptions about the achievement of contract performance
targets and the likely levels of future cost escalation over time. Refer note 19(b) for details for provision for
onerous contract.
The Group has evaluated the impact of COVID – 19 resulting from (i) the possibility of constraints to render
services which may require revision of estimations of costs to complete the contract because of additional efforts;
(ii) onerous obligations; (iii) penalties relating to breaches of service level agreements, and (iv) termination or
deferment of contracts by customers. The Group has concluded that the impact of COVID – 19 is not material
based on these estimates. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Group will continue to monitor developments to
identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in the subsequent periods.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable
amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of
disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for
similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use
calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for
the next five years as approved by the Management and do not include restructuring activities that the Group
is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the
CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as
the expected future cash-inflows and the terminal growth rate used.
iii. Defined benefit plans - gratuity
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. All assumptions are reviewed
at each reporting date. The parameter which is most subjected to change is the discount rate. In determining

242
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of
government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate. Those mortality tables
tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on
expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 33.
iv. Fair value measurement of unquoted 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 DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but
where this is not feasible, a degree of assumption is required in establishing fair values. Judgments 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 39 for further disclosures.
v. Warranty provision
The Group generally offers warranty for its various products. Warranty costs are provided based on a
technical estimate of the costs required to be incurred for repairs, replacements, material costs, servicing
cost and past experience in respect of warranty costs. Management estimates the related provision for
future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information, as well as recent trends that might
suggest that past cost information may differ from future claims. The assumptions made in current period are
consistent with those in the prior year. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the
success of the Group’s productivity and quality initiatives. Warranty provisions are discounted using a pre-
tax discount rate which reflects current market assessments of time value of money and risks specific to the
liability. Refer note 19 for further details.
vi. Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default, expected loss
rates and timing of cash flows. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the
inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions including
those related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting
period.
As a practical expedient, the Group uses a provision matrix to determine ECL impairment allowance on
portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over
the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting
date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are
analysed. On that basis, the Group estimates a default rate of total revenue for trade receivables and contract
revenue for contract assets. The Group follows provisioning norms based on ageing of receivables to
estimate the impairment allowance under ECL. For retention receivables, the Group additionally categorizes
the receivables due from Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Non-PSUs and follows a wider aged bucket
provisioning norms as the performance guarantee tests require certain time period after the supplies are
completed. Refer note 7 and 9(b) for details of impairment allowance recognized at the reporting date.
vii. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The Group determines, based on independent technical assessment, the estimated useful lives of its
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for calculating depreciation and amortisation. This
estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear.
Management reviews the residual value and useful lives annually and future depreciation and amortisation
charge would be adjusted where the management believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.
Refer note 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) above for further details.

243
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

viii. Deferred taxes


At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether the realization of future tax benefits is sufficiently
probable to recognize deferred tax assets. This assessment requires the use of significant estimates with
respect to assessment of future taxable income. The recorded amount of total deferred tax assets could

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Danstoker A/S
The recoverable value of Danstoker A/S (CGU) as at March 31, 2020, has been determined based on value in use calculation using
cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.
The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year is 7.52% p.a. (March 31,
2019: 7.52% p.a.) and cash flows beyond the 5-year period have been extrapolated using a 2% p.a. growth rate (March 31, 2019:
2% p.a.) which is based on long-term industry average growth rate for the CGU. As a result of this analysis, the management
concluded that the recoverable value of CGU exceeds the carrying value of CGU (including goodwill). Hence, management has
not recognised any impairment charge during the current year against goodwill.
Key assumptions used and sensitivity impact
The calculation of value in use is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
1 Sales Growth rate
2 Discount rate
Sales growth rate - Sales growth rate has been considered at an average annual growth rate over the five-year forecast period;
based on past performance and management's expectations of market development. Prices included in revenue forecasts include
long-term inflation forecasts. The Management has considered an average sales growth rate of 4.9% p.a. over the forecast period.
A decline of 20% in the average sales growth rate will result in impairment charge for goodwill.
Discount rate - Discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to Danstoker A/S, taking into
consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash
flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and Danstoker A/S and is
derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity
is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group's investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing
borrowings the Group is obliged to service. CGU specific risk is incorporated by applying individual beta factors. The beta factors
are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data. Adjustments to the discount rate are made to factor in the specific
amount and timing of the future taxes in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate. A rise in discount rate to 9.52% p.a. will (i.e.
increase by 2%) result in impairment charges for goodwill.
The Management has considered and assessed reasonably possible changes including any possible impact of outbreak of
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) for other key assumptions and have not identified any instances that could cause the carrying
amount of CGU exceeds recoverable amount leading to an impairment that should be recognised.

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax
liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
The Group has tax losses of Rs. 132.33 (March 31, 2019: Rs. 105.42) that are available for offsetting against future taxable profits of
the companies in which the losses arose. Majority of these losses will expire over a period by end of March 31, 2028. Deferred tax assets
have not been recognised in respect of these losses as they may not be used to offset taxable profits elsewhere in the Group, they have
arisen in subsidiaries that have been loss-making for some time, and also does not meet the requirements of recognition of deferred tax
assets on unabsorbed losses as per Ind AS 12 on Income taxes. If the Group were able to recognise all unrecognised deferred tax assets,
the profit would increase by Rs. 33.25 (March 31, 2019: Rs. 26.69).
At March 31, 2020, there is deferred tax liability of Rs. 1.84 (March 31, 2019: Rs. 2.86) for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted
earnings of the Group's branches. The Group has determined that undistributed profits of its subsidiaries will not be distributed in the
foreseeable future.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Holding Company has paid dividend to its shareholders. This has
resulted in payment of dividend distribution taxes (DDT) to the taxation authorities. The Group believes that DDT represents additional
payment to taxation authority on behalf of the shareholders. Hence DDT paid is charged to equity.

Provision for decommissioning liability


A provision has been recognised for decommissioning costs associated with the property taken on lease by the Group. The Group is
committed to restore the site on conclusion of the manufacturing activities. The timing of cash outflows in respect of such provision
cannot be reasonably determined.
Provision for warranties
Warranty costs are provided based on a technical estimate of the costs required to be incurred for repairs, replacements, material costs,
servicing cost and past experience in respect of such costs. It is expected that this expenditure will be incurred over the contracted
warranty period ranging up to 2 years. If warranty claim costs vary by 10% from management's estimate, the warranty provisions would
be an estimated Rs. 9.02 higher or lower (March 31, 2019 : Rs. 7.76).
Provision for onerous contracts
A provision for expected loss on contracts with customers is recognised when it is probable that the contracts costs will exceed total
contract revenue. For all other contracts, provision is made when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation under the contract
exceed the currently estimated economic benefits. The timing of cash outflows in respect of such provision is over the contract period.

the contracts. The fulfilment of the performance obligations will extinguish these liabilities and revenue will be recognised, with no
impact on the Group’s cash positions on specific projects.

v) Performance obligations
Performance obligation in a project or a group of projects which are contracted at or near same time with the same or related parties and
negotiated simultaneously, are combined for the purpose of evaluation. The Group has estimated that multiple commitments pertaining
to engineering, procurement and commissioning of such projects is a single performance obligation which is spread over different
accounting periods.
Performance obligation for products are evaluated on standalone basis, recognised at a point in time. Generally, performance
obligations for such contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less.
There are no major contracts with customers which have significant financing component included within them and therefore there is no
difference between the timing of satisfaction of performance obligation vis a vis the timing of the payment.
Remaining performance obligations
The following table includes revenue expected to be recognised in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or
partially unsatisfied) at the reporting date.
The Group applies practical expedient included in para 121 of Ind AS 115 and does not disclose information about its remaining
performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less.
March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
Amount of revenue yet to be recognised for contracts in progress 3,103.66 3,300.07

The Group expects that a significant portion of the remaining performance obligation will be completed in the next 1 to 2 years.
For one of the subsidiaries, the Group has disclosed remaining performance obligation expected to be fulfilled in next 12 months.
However, the contracts with customers for supply of utilities are for a longer period.

cum-demand notices from the Excise department covering period from June 2000 till June 2017 for Rs. 1,385.47 crores
(March 31, 2019: Rs.1,383.51) (including penalty but excluding interest and further penalty thereon).
These demands are of excise duty payable on inclusion of the cost of bought out items in the assessable value of certain
products manufactured by the Holding Company, though such duty paid bought out items were directly dispatched by the
manufacturers thereof to the ultimate customer, without being received in the Holding Company’s factory. The Holding

272

(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

Company has filed an appeal against the said orders received before CESTAT, Mumbai. Based on independent legal advice,
the Holding Company is confident of the issue being ultimately decided in its favour and accordingly no provision has been
considered necessary. Pursuant to the business transfer of boiler and heater division, the liability has been transferred
from Holding Company to a wholly owned subsidiary.

c) Guarantees
The Group has issued various guarantees for performance, deposits, tender money, advances etc. The Group has issued
various indemnity bonds, letter of support, corporate guarantees, etc. for working capital requirements purposes to banks
for wholly owned subsidiaries. The management has considered the probability for outflow of the same to be remote and
accordingly no amount has been disclosed here.

d) Others

Liability for export obligations 73.00 78.82


Claims against the Group not acknowledged as debt 3.33 3.02
The timing and amount of the cash flow which will arise from these matters, will be determined by the relevant authorities
on settlement of the cases or on receipt of claims from customers.
e) There are certain law suits, disputes, warranty claims, etc., including commercial matters that arise from time to time in the
ordinary course of business, the amounts involved in such matters are currently not quantifiable. However, based on
managements assessment under Ind AS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" , that claims are not
tenable / probability of final outcome against the Group is low and therefore not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
f) The Group has received a claim for avoidance from the liquidator of former subsidiary Omnical Kessel-und Apparatebau
GmbH which is under bankruptcy. The management, based on best estimates, expects no impact for such claim on the
Group.

B) Capital and other commitments


a) Liability in respect of partly paid shares Rs. 0.09 (March 31, 2019 Rs. 0.09).
b) Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account (net of advances) and not provided for is Rs.
29.59 (March 31, 2019 Rs. 20.98).
c) For lease commitments, refer note 32.

32 Leasing arrangements
i) Where the Group is lessor
a) Amounts receivable under Finance lease -
The Group has entered into certain arrangements with its customers where the Group will supply heat/steam/treated water by
installing the boiler/heater/water treatment plant at the customers’ premises. The Group has determined, that fulfilment of
these arrangements is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use these specific asset to
the customers. Accordingly, these arrangements qualify as arrangements in the form of lease as specified in Ind-AS 116. Based on
the evaluation of terms and conditions of these arrangements, such as the contract term constituting a major part of the economic
life of the specific assets, the fair value of the asset and that it has transferred the significant risks and rewards in these assets to
the customers , these lease arrangements have been classified as finance leases.

ii) Where the Group is lessee


The Group has taken office buildings, factory sheds, guest house, warehouse, vehicles, printers and other office equipments on
lease for a tenure of 1 to 5 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets.
Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. There are no variable lease payments and
residual value guarantees for these leases. The leases are renewable on mutually agreeable terms. At the expiry of the lease term,
either party has an option to terminate the agreement or extend the term by giving notice in writing.
The Group also has certain leases of machinery with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low
value. The Group applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.

33 Gratuity
The Holding Company and its Indian subsidiaries operate a defined benefit plan viz. gratuity for its employees. Under the gratuity plan,
every employee who has completed at least specified years of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days (minimum) of the last drawn
salary for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with an insurance company in the form of qualifying insurance policy.
The fund has formed a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees. Overseas subsidiaries do not operate any defined benefit plans
for employees.
The fund is subject to risks such as asset volatility, changes in asset yields and asset liability mismatch risk. In managing the plan assets,
Board of Trustees reviews and manages these risks associated with the funded plan. Each year, the Board of Trustees reviews the level of
funding in the gratuity plan. Such a review includes asset-liability matching strategy and investment risk management policy (which
includes contributing to plans that invest in risk-averse markets). The Board of Trustees aim to keep annual contributions relatively
stable at a level such that no plan deficits (based on valuation performed) will arise.

III Significant asumptions


The principal actuarial assumptions were as follows :
Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
Discount rate 6.04% to 6.4% 7.64%
Salary growth rate 5 % to 7 % 5 % to 7 %
Normal retirement age 60 years 60 years
Indian Assured Indian Assured
Mortality table Lives Mortality Lives Mortality
(2012-14) Ultimate (2012-14) Ultimate
Employee turnover 5% to 14% 5% to 15%

IV Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of defined obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:

Assumption March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019


Impact of 1% Impact of 1% Impact of 1% Impact of 1%
increase decrease increase decrease
Discount rate Decrease by 6.52 Increase by 7.48 Decrease by 5.21 Increase by 5.87
Future salary increase Increase by 6.70 Decrease by 5.94 Increase by 5.39 Decrease by 4.88
Attrition Rate Increase by 0.54 Decrease by 0.69 Increase by 0.17 Decrease by 0.19
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in 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 obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of defined benefit obligation calculated
with the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied as and when calculating the defined
benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous years.
The following are the expected cash outflows to the defined benefit plan in future years:

Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019


Within next 12 months 17.45 10.94
Between 2-5 years 41.87 39.63
Next 5 years 40.01 31.11
The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting year is 9 years (March 31, 2019: 9 years).

V The major categories of plan assets are as follows:


Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
Investments with insurer (LIC of India) 100.00% 100.00%

The management has assessed that the carrying amounts of the above financial instruments approximate their fair values.
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with banks. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using
valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs which captures credit quality of counterparties, foreign
exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies and currency basis spreads between the respective
currencies. The Company has practice to settle all derivative contracts on or before its maturity using the sanctioned finance
limits with banks, thereby eliminating both counterparty and the Group's own non-performance risk. The changes in
counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge
relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.

40 (a) Financial risk management
The Group's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise trade and other payables and loans and borrowings. The main
purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations. The Group's principal financial assets include loans, trade and
other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Group also holds FVTPL investments and
enters into derivative transactions.
Risk is inherent in the Group’s activities but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring,
subject to risk limits and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the Group’s continuing profitability and each
individual within the Group is accountable for the risk exposures relating to his or her responsibilities. The Group is exposed to market
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company’s Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the overall risk management approach and for approving the risk
strategies and principles. No significant changes were made in the risk management objectives and policies during the years ended
March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The management of the Company reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks
which are summarised below:
I Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of an asset will fluctuate as a result of changes in market variables such as interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, and equity prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual investment or its
issuer or factors affecting all investments traded in the market.
Market risk is managed on the basis of pre-determined asset allocations across various asset categories, diversification of assets
in terms of geographical distribution and industry concentration, a continuous appraisal of market conditions and trends and
management’s estimate of long and short term changes in fair value.

291
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

a 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 Group is not currently exposed significantly to such risk as most of the the borrowings
are on fixed interest terms.
b Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and relevant assets and liabilities are denominated in a
currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial
instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Foreign exchange risk is managed on the basis of limits determined by management and a continuous assessment of
current and expected exchange rate movements and entering into derivative contracts that hedge the maximum period of
exposure of underlying transactions (i.e. highly probable forecast sales and purchases).
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Group negotiates the terms of those derivatives to
match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions the derivatives cover the period of exposure
from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or
payable that is denominated in the foreign currency.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, SEK and EUR exchange rates,
with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group's profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of
monetary assets and liabilities including foreign currency derivatives not designated as cash flow hedge and foreign
currency derivatives with underlying foreign currency monetary assets/liabilities designated as cash flow hedge. The
impact on the Group's pre-tax equity is due to changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as cash
flow hedges.

Impact on profit before tax Impact on other components of equity

INR/ EUR - Decrease by 1% (0.43) (0.67) (0.71) (0.51)

Favourable impact shown as positive and adverse impact as negative.


The exposure to other foreign currencies is not significant to the Group's financial statements.
c Price risk
The Group's equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the
investment securities. These securities are unquoted. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification and
by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Group's
senior management on a regular basis. The Holding Company's Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity
investment decisions.
II 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 Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables, lease assets and

292
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts are in Rupees Crore, except per share data and unless stated otherwise)

contract assets) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial
instruments.
Trade receivables / Contract assets / Lease receivable
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an
individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous group and
assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on losses as per historical data. The maximum exposure to credit
risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in notes 7, 9(b) and 32 above. The charge of
impairment to Statement of profit and loss is disclosed in note 28 above. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with
respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely
independent markets.
Financial instruments and Bank deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks, mutual funds, loans and other financial assets are managed by the Group's treasury
department in accordance with the Group's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties
having a good market reputation and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the
concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for bank balances and deposits as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is the
carrying amounts as disclosed in Note 9(a) and 13, maximum exposure relating to financial derivative instruments disclosed in
notes 9(b) and 18(b) to the financial statements.
III Liquidity risk
Prudent 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 and to close out market positions. Due
to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability
under committed credit lines.
The management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and
cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at operating segments level in the
Group in accordance with practice and limits set by the Group. In addition, the Group's liquidity management policy involves
projecting future cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these and monitoring balance sheet
liquidity ratios against internal requirements.

40 (b) Hedging activities and derivatives


Cash flow hedges
Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange forward contracts measured at fair value through OCI are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of
forecast sales in EUR, USD, SEK, and forecast purchases in USD, JPY and SEK . These forecast transactions are highly probable, and fully
cover the Group's expected future sales and future purchases based on the orders received.
While the Group also enters into other foreign exchange forward contracts with the intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of
expected sales and purchases, these other contracts are not designated in hedge relationships and are measured at fair value through
profit or loss.
The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and purchases and changes in
foreign exchange forward rates.

March 31, 2021.
Reclassifications to profit or loss during the year gains or losses included in OCI are shown in Note 30.
Interest rate swap (cash flow hedge)
The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Under these swaps, the Group agrees
with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate
interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts. Generally, the Group raises long-term borrowings at
floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Group borrowed at fixed rates directly.
The carrying value of interest rate swap at the end of the reporting year are as follows:
