Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,

It gives me pleasure to share the 59th annual report


of your company, for the year 2022-23.
Overall business scenario in India has been robust
with the country being one of the world's fastest-
growing major economies, achieving a remarkable
growth rate of 7.2% in FY 2022-23. The industrial
production also witnessed a notable increase
of 5.1% compared to the previous financial year.
While the slowdown in the global economy and
the geopolitical disturbances have had some
impact on businesses, the continued expansion
by domestic industries coupled with substantial
investment in the infrastructure sector presents
significant growth opportunities for your company.
The company has taken a number of initiatives
in the areas of business diversification, project
execution, technology development, quality,
manpower development, etc., in recent years,
which, I am happy to say, have started showing
results.
While financial parameters are the ultimate
yardstick of an organisation’s performance, it is
important to remember that the physicals are
the actual drivers for the financials. Further, it is
essential for any organisation, especially a large
one, to build for the future, by putting in place
suitable enablers for long term sustainable growth.
To this end, one of the most important changes
that your company has seen in recent times is
the change in operations ideology from being
“Revenue Centric” to “Project Centric”. The
company has taken up focussed efforts in the area
of project execution, including implementation of
an Integrated Project Management System (IPMS),
sequential despatches, advance engineering
planning & action, enhanced delegation to project
directors, site data digitization, etc., which have
started paying off.
At the macro level, this can be seen from the fact
that the company has achieved a doubling of
erection tonnage at project sites over a period of
three years (achieved 5.41 lakh MT in FY 2022-23)

ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY WITH
AIR COOLED CONDENSER

Annual Review
BHEL has achieved another milestone in sustainability by
commissioning the country's first utility-scale thermal power
plant equipped with an Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) instead of
a Water Cooled Condenser (WCC). The ACC will significantly
reduce water consumption, approximately by 63%, compared to
WCC. Along with emission control equipment, this is a major step
towards sustainability of thermal power plants.

Corporate Profile
BHEL has commissioned the first unit of 660 MW fitted with
ACC at 3x660 MW North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Plant
in Jharkhand. This plant with ACC will result in saving of 30,500
million litres of water annually when all the three units are
functioning - this saving equals the annual need of around 1.5
million people.

Future perspective
Capex in the Infrastructure Sector in India is under significant
augmentation. Further, supply disruption of steel from China
and Russia-Ukraine war has led to a sudden surge in demand
from domestic steel producers. At present, domestic installed
capacity of steel is around 154 MT and in line with the vision
to have an installed capacity of 300 MT capacity by 2030,
secondary steel industries as well as integrated steel plants
are likely to come up with expansion plans, which is likely to
translate into demand for captive power.
In line with GoI’s plan to enhance India’s total oil refining
capacity to 450 MMTPA by 2030, petrochemical complex,
brownfield and greenfield refinery projects are expected to
come up in next 5-6 years.
BHEL with its decades of experience as well as focus on
diversification from non-coal areas, is fully geared to
capitalize on these upcoming opportunities.

Financial Risk Management

Objectives and Policies


"The company's activities are exposed to different financial risks arising out of natural business exposures to any company
operating in the sector. The management of financial risk has always been an integral part of the company’s business strategies
and policies. The company reviews and aligns its policies and guidelines from time to time to address the financial risks in
line with the needs and expectations of its various stakeholders. Exposure risk from the use of financial instruments can be
categorized as under:
a. Credit risk
b. Liquidity risk
c. Market risk
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies
and processes for measuring and managing risk, and management of Company's capital. Further quantitative disclosures are
included throughout these financial statements.

Risk management framework


BHEL has in place a Board approved Risk Management Charter & Policy which provides overall framework for Risk Management
in the company. The objective of the charter is to ensure that the risks are being properly identified, assessed and effectively
managed by adopting suitable risk mitigation measures. The company has 3-layer risk management framework. At the first
level, the Board Level Risk Management Committee (BLRMC) of the company is assigned with responsibility of reviewing the
company’s Risk Governance structure, Risk Assessment & Risk Management framework, Guidelines, Policies and Processes
thereof. Risk Management Steering Committee (RMSC) at the second level is responsible for adopting & implementing the risk
management framework and leading the risk management initiative across the company. Chief Risk Officer (CRO) being the
convener of BLRMC & RMSC is responsible for periodic reporting on risk management to Board/ BLRMC. Key risks being faced
by the company are analysed starting from Unit level for their respective areas to prepare risk mitigation plans and to ensure
implementation.

a. Management of Credit Risk


Credit risk is considered as an integral part of risk reward balance of doing business. BHEL is involved in setting up of power
projects pertaining to Government sector (State utilities, PSU's, Railways and other govt. departments etc.) and private sectors
in India and abroad. The projects are generally funded by Financial Institutions/ banks or payments are covered by Letter of
Credit (LC). The project duration ranges from 3 to 5 years and payments are generally realised in stages as per the terms of the
contract including advance, progress payments, milestone (including intermediate) payments and also retentions which are
released on completion of such projects. Since majority customers' profile pertains to Government sector, constituting 80%
of total receivables coupled with the fact that the company itself is a CPSE, credit risk is relatively low. In respect of private
sector customers , the payment terms are mainly through LC. The company has well established review mechanism for
receivables at various levels within organisation to ensure proper attention and focus for realisation in line with the company
policies, procedures and guidelines.The company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain and
the disclosure of the same is made elsewhere. Further, adequate provisions are maintained to address any eventuality.

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April
1, 2023, as below:

Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements


The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting
policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to

influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect the amendment
to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes


The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning
obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12
(recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable
and deductible temporary differences. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its
financial statements.
Notice

ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23 261


Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of
a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition,
accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities
develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that
involves measurement uncertainty.The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its
financial statements.

Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Change in Discount rate (0.50% movement) (91.64) 99.80 (91.26) 99.51
Change in Salary escalation rate (0.50% movement) 36.56 (42.09) 43.70 (47.40)

Sensitivities due to mortality and withdrawals are not material and hence impact of change due to these are not calculated.
Sensitivities as rate of increase of pensions in payment, rate of increase of pensions before retirement & life expectancy are not
applicable.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation
as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. This analysis may not be
representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur
in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Construction of power projects is a long cycle business, where the contracts received by the company are either EPC contracts
(Engineering, Procurement & Construction) or BTG Packages (i.e. Boiler, Turbine and Generator packages). Power projects are
long gestation period projects with normal execution period of contract ranging between 3 to 5 years. BHEL scope of services
includes supply of equipment, erection, commissioning, synchronizing the plant to the grid, completing the trial operation and
providing the guaranteed parameters.

334 BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED


Although there are several components to the overall scope, such projects are generally considered one performance obligation.
The control transfers simultaneously over the execution period as the entity performs rather than at discrete points in time and
hence revenue is recognized over the period of time based on measure of progress (input cost method)

Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April
1, 2023, as below:

Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements


The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting
policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to
influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect the amendment
to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes

Additional Information
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning
obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12
(recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable
and deductible temporary differences. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its
financial statements.
Notice

ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23 343


Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of
a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition,
accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities
develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that
involves measurement uncertainty.The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its
financial statements.

Note [57]
The Board of Directors has authorised to issue the Financial Statements 2022-23 in its meeting held on May 26 , 2023
