The material topics were determined after engaging with a representative sample of key stakeholders that included
customers, investors, suppliers, employees, channel partners and others. The assessment also considered peer reports and
global megatrends while identifying the most significant areas of risk and opportunities.
Identified material topics were prioritised after considering their importance to the business and to the stakeholders.
Stakeholder significance was assessed based on their primary concerns and expectations. The significance of the concerns
to us was determined by our business goals and risks. This exercise will be conducted every two years.
MATERIALITY MATRIX
Our assessment adheres to the materiality and stakeholder inclusivity procedures outlined in the IIRC’s <IR> framework.
It also considered our stakeholders’ expectations and interests as a major point of reference.

Integrated Report 2022-23
The Company makes certain judgement, estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Actual experience may differ from these
judgements, estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
(i) Useful Life Of Property, Plant And Equipments, Intangible Assets And Investment Properties
The Company determines the estimated useful life of its Property, Plant and Equipments, Investment Properties and Intangible
Assets for calculating depreciation/ amortisation. The estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the assets
or physical wear and tear. The company periodically reviews the estimated useful life and the depreciation/ amortisation method
to ensure that the method and period of depreciation/ amortisation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits
from these assets.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit 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. An assessment is carried to determine whether there is any indication of impairment in the carrying
amount of the Company’s assets. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is
recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Significant judgments are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision
for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss in
accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee benefits’ over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees’ services. The
costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate,
discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Standalone Balance Sheet cannot be measured
based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash
flow model, which involve various judgements and assumptions.
The Company measures Land classified as property, plant and equipment at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Company has engaged an independent valuer to assess the fair value
periodically. Land is valued by reference to market-based evidence, using comparable prices adjusted for specific market factors
such as nature, location and condition of the property.
The determination of net realisable value of inventory includes estimates based on prevailing market conditions, current prices
and expected date of commencement and completion of the project, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects
and selling cost.
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to
measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a
similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
a. Leases
The Company has entered into cancellable and non-cancellable operating leases on its commercial premises. These leases have
terms of between 3 and 55 years. All leases include a clause to enable upward revision of the rental charge on an annual basis
according to prevailing market conditions. Rent Income recognized by the Company during the year:

Financial Statements
Integrated Report 2022-23
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, lease liability, trade and other payables. The main purpose
of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans and
advances, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and Other balances with Bank.
The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
- Market risk
- Credit risk, and
- Liquidity risk.
The Company has evolved a risk mitigation framework to identify, assess and mitigate financial risk in order to minimize potential
adverse effects on the company’s financial performance. There have been no substantive changes in the company’s exposure to
financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from
previous periods unless otherwise stated herein.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected
by market risk includes borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables, loans and derivative financial instruments.
341
Macrotech Developers Limited
Standalone Financial Statements
The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk mainly from long-term borrowings at variable rate. Currently the
company has external borrowings (excluding short-term overdraft facilities) which are fixed and floating rate borrowings. The
Company achieves the optimum interest rate profile by refinancing when the interest rates go down. However this does not
protect Company entirely from the risk of paying rates in excess of current market rates nor eliminates fully cash flow risk
associated with variability in interest payments. The Company considers that it achieves an appropriate balance of exposure
to these risks.
The Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments are reported as below: H in million

The Company capitalises interest to the cost of inventory to the extent permissible, hence, the amount indicated above may
have an impact on reported profits over the life cycle of projects to which such interest is capitalised. This calculation also
assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and is calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that
date. The year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that the Fair Value or Future Cash Flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the various assets and liabilities which are denominated in
currencies other than Indian Rupee.
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company operating
activities including investment in overseas projects.

b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a
financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing
activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics
of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, has less
influence on the credit risk.
The Company has entered into contracts for the sale of residential and commercial units on an installment basis. The installments
are specified in the contracts. The Company is exposed to credit risk in respect of installments due. However, the possession of
residential and commercial units is handed over to the buyer only after all the installments are recovered. In addition, installment
dues are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to credit risk is not significant. The Company
evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as none of its customers constitutes significant portions
of trade receivables as at the year end.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by Company's treasury in accordance with the Company’s
policy. The company limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing balances with local banks and international banks of good
repute. Given the profile of its bankers, management does not expect any counterparty to fail in meeting its obligations.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial
instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial
asset quickly at close to its fair value. The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its
short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company’s exposure to liquidity
risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk
by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents.

equivalent to the option life, of the observed market prices of the Industry’s publicly traded equity shares. Volatility calculation
is based on historical stock prices using standard deviation of daily change in stock price of the Industry’s publicly traded equity
shares. The historical period is taken into account to match the expected life of the option. Dividend yield has been calculated
taking into account recent dividend activity.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified, Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules, 2023 on
31-March-2023 to amend certain Ind AS’s which are effective from 01-April-2023. Summary of such amendments are given
below:
The amendment replaces the requirement to disclose ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy
information’. The amendments also provide guidance under what circumstance, the accounting policy information is
likely to be considered material and therefore requiring disclosure. The Company is currently revisiting their accounting
policy information disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements.
(b) Amendments to Ind AS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors:
Definition of Accounting Estimates: The amendment added the definition of accounting estimates, clarifies that the
effects of a change in an input or measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless resulting from
the correction of prior period errors. These amendments clarify how entities make the distinction between changes
in accounting estimate, changes in accounting policy and prior period errors. The distinction is important, because
changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and other future events, but changes in
accounting policies are generally applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events as well as the current
period. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(c) Amendments to Ind AS 12 Income taxes - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction:
The amendment to Ind AS 12, requires to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to
equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. They will typically apply to transactions such as leases of
lessees and decommissioning obligations and will require the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The amendment should be applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented. In addition, entities should recognise deferred tax assets (to the extent that it is probable that they can
be utilised) and deferred tax liabilities at the beginning of the earliest comparative period for all deductible and taxable
temporary differences associated with (i) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and (ii) decommissioning, restoration
and similar liabilities, and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related assets.
The cumulative effect of recognising these adjustments is recognised in retained earnings, or another component of
equity, as appropriate.
(d) The other amendments to Ind AS notified by these rules are primarily in the nature of clarifications.
There are no subsequent events which require disclosure or adjustment to Standalone Financial Statements.

(i) Useful Life of Property, Plant and Equipments, Intangible Assets and Investment Properties
The Group determines the estimated useful life of its property, plant and equipments , investment properties and intangible
assets for calculating depreciation/ amortisation. The estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the assets
or physical wear and tear. The Group periodically reviews the estimated useful life and the depreciation/ amortisation method to
ensure that the method and period of depreciation/ amortisation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits
from these assets.

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit 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. An assessment is carried to determine whether there is any indication of impairment in the carrying amount
of the Group's assets. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised
whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Significant judgments are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision
for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
in accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee benefits’ over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees’ services.
The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation
rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on
quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model,
which involve various judgements and assumptions.
The Group measures Land classified as property, plant and equipment at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) . The Group has engaged an independent valuer to assess the fair value
periodically. Land is valued by reference to market-based evidence, using comparable prices adjusted for specific market factors
such as nature, location and condition of the property.
The determination of net realisable value of inventory includes estimates based on prevailing market conditions, current prices
and expected date of commencement and completion of the project, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects
and selling cost.

48 Exceptional Items
The Group has given loans to Lodha Developers UK Limited (LD UK) and its subsidiaries from time to time for UK projects and has
accrued interest thereon. The current economic uncertainty in European countries alongside adverse geopolitical developments, high
inflation coupled with recessionary economic outlook etc. has led to reduction in expected realisable value of outstanding loans along
with accrued interest. Accordingly, a provision of H1,1774 million has been recognised as an “Exceptional Item” during the year
against the same.

Macrotech Developers Limited
Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, lease liability, trade and other payables. The main purpose of
these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations. The Group's principal financial assets include loans and advances, trade
and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and Other balances with Bank.
The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
- Market risk
- Credit risk, and
- Liquidity risk.
The Group has evolved a risk mitigation framework to identify, assess and mitigate financial risk in order to minimize potential adverse
effects on the Group's financial performance. There have been no substantive changes in the Group's exposure to financial instrument
risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless
otherwise stated herein.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected
by market risk includes borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables, loans and derivative financial instruments.
428
Financial Statements
Integrated Report 2022-23
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk mainly from long-term borrowings at variable rate. Currently the Group
has external borrowings (excluding short-term overdraft facilities) which are fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Group
achieves the optimum interest rate profile by refinancing when the interest rates go down. However this does not protect
Group entirely from the risk of paying rates in excess of current market rates nor eliminates fully cash flow risk associated with
variability in interest payments. The Group believes that it achieves an appropriate balance of exposure to these risks.
The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore,
a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rate would have resulted in variation in the interest expense for
the Company by the amounts indicated in the table below.
H in million
For the year For the year
Impact on retained earnings/ Equity
ended Mar-23 ended Mar-22
Impact of increase in interest rate by 100 basis point 904 1,076
Impact of decrease in interest rate by 100 basis point (904) (1,076)
The Group capitalises interest to the cost of inventory to the extent permissible, hence, the amount indicated above may have
an impact on reported profits over the life cycle of projects to which such interest is capitalised. This calculation also assumes
that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and is calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The
year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that the Fair Value or Future Cash Flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the various assets and liabilities which are denominated in
currencies other than Indian Rupee.
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities
including investment in overseas projects.
As a result operations of the Company are adversely affected as rupee appreciates/ depreciates against respective currency.

b) 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) and from its financing
activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of
the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, has less influence
on the credit risk.
The Group has entered into contracts for the sale of residential and commercial units on an installment basis. The installments
are specified in the contracts. The Group is exposed to credit risk in respect of installments due. However, the possession of
residential and commercial units is handed over to the buyer only after all the installments are recovered. In addition, installment
dues are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to credit risk is not significant. The Group
evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as none of its customers constitutes significant portions
of trade receivables as at the year end.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by Group's treasury in accordance with the Group’s
policy. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing balances with local banks and international banks of good
repute. Given the profile of its bankers, management does not expect any counterparty to fail in meeting its obligations.
c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial
instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial
asset quickly at close to its fair value. The Group has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short
term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises
primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

53 Capital Management
For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital and other equity reserves attributable
to the owners of the Group. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of
the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital
plus net debt. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and bank
balances other than cash and cash equivalents.

The risk free rates are determined based on the average of high and low of the last 12 months of the 10-Year government
securities yield in effect at the time of the grant. Expected volatility of the option is based on historical volatility, during a period
equivalent to the option life, of the observed market prices of the Industry’s publicly traded equity shares. Volatility calculation
is based on historical stock prices using standard deviation of daily change in stock price of the Industry’s publicly traded equity
shares. The historical period is taken into account to match the expected life of the option. Dividend yield has been calculated
taking into account recent dividend activity.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified, Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules, 2023 on
31-March-2023 to amend certain Ind AS’s which are effective from 01-April-2023. Summary of such amendments are given
below:
The amendment replaces the requirement to disclose ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy
information’. The amendments also provide guidance under what circumstance, the accounting policy information is
likely to be considered material and therefore requiring disclosure. The Company is currently revisiting their accounting
policy information disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements.
(b) Amendments to Ind AS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors:
Definition of Accounting Estimates: The amendment added the definition of accounting estimates, clarifies that the
effects of a change in an input or measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless resulting from
the correction of prior period errors. These amendments clarify how entities make the distinction between changes
in accounting estimate, changes in accounting policy and prior period errors. The distinction is important, because
changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and other future events, but changes in
accounting policies are generally applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events as well as the current
period. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group financial statements.

(c) Amendments to Ind AS 12 Income taxes - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction:
The amendment to Ind AS 12, requires to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to
equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. They will typically apply to transactions such as leases of
lessees and decommissioning obligations and will require the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The amendment should be applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented. In addition, entities should recognise deferred tax assets (to the extent that it is probable that they can
be utilised) and deferred tax liabilities at the beginning of the earliest comparative period for all deductible and taxable
temporary differences associated with (i) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and (ii) decommissioning, restoration
and similar liabilities, and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related assets.
The cumulative effect of recognising these adjustments is recognised in retained earnings, or another component of
equity, as appropriate.
(d) The other amendments to Ind AS notified by these rules are primarily in the nature of clarifications.
There are no subsequent events which require disclosure or adjustment to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
