with the explanatory statement.

Since  then,  the  Company  has  made  remarkable  progress  in  its 
various businesses, significantly increased its revenues and profits

each  business  unit  strategy  and  strategic  initiatives,  including

remuneration  shall  not  exceed  5%  of  the  net  profits  of  the 
Company  for  each  of  the  Managing/  Whole-time  Directors  of 
the Company and 10% of the net profits of the Company for all 
the Managing/Whole-time Directors of the Company.

the  Chairman  &  Managing  Director,  Chief  Executive  Officer 
&  Managing  Director,  if  any,  Deputy  Managing  Director,  if 
any  and  Whole-time  Directors  on  the  Board  after  receiving 
recommendation  from  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration 
Committee, subject to the approval of the members in General 
Meeting.

Chairman’s Message

A. M. Naik
Chairman & Managing Director

The execution schedule of our existing 
orders remained largely on track.  
We also continued to gain signifi cantly 
through our focus on competency, 
quality assurance and delivery.  

Dear Shareholders,

The  macro  business  environment  in  the  year  under  review  was  characterized  by 
uncertainty  and  volatility.  The  Company  also  experienced  extended  prospect-
to-award  timelines.  Nevertheless,  the  execution  schedule  of  our  existing  orders 
remained  largely  on  track.  We  also  continued  to  gain  signifi cantly  through  our 
focus  on  competency,  quality  assurance  and  delivery.  This  ensured  that  the 
external environment did not impinge unduly on our performance, and we could 
successfully  navigate  through  the  economic  cross  currents  to  convert  profi table 
business opportunities into contracted customer commitments.

Performance Overview

i.  Restructuring

The Company has once again registered 
impressive performance on all important 
parameters during FY11. Order Infl ows 
for  the  year,  though  volatile  from 
quarter  to  quarter,  recorded  a  growth 
of  15%.  Revenues,  driven  by  a  robust 
Order  Book  position  in  the  beginning 
of  the  year,  registered  a  19%  growth 
for  the  year  which  was  commendable 
considering  the  challenging  execution 
environment  that  all  sectors  witnessed 
throughout the fi scal. EBITDA Margins, 
by  and  large,  held  up  to  FY10  levels 
despite higher input prices which were 
mitigated  through  timely  and  cost 
effi cient  execution  of  orders  on  hand. 
The closing Order Book position at the 
end  of  FY11  recorded  an  impressive 
`  130,217  crore  which  is  in  excess  of 
two  years  of  backlog.  Profi t  after  Tax 
at  `  3,676  crore  excluding  Exceptional 
and  Extraordinary  items,  grew  15% 
during  the  year.  Robust  operating 
cash  fl ows  contributed  to  the  healthy 
fi nancial condition of the Company.

The  performance  of  the  Subsidiary  & 
Associate  companies  during  the  year 
was also encouraging. The Group total 
income  for  the  year  reached  `  52,089 
crore  while  the  Group  Profi t  after  Tax 
excluding Exceptional and Extraordinary 
items, 
impressive  ` 
4,238  crore,  an  increase  of  12%  year 
on year.

recorded  an 

I  am  happy  to  announce  that  the 
Board has recommended an enhanced 
dividend  of  `  14.50  per  equity  share 
on  a  face  value  of  `  2  per  share  for 
the year.

Gearing for growth

The  Company  has  taken  a  number  of 
measures during the year under review 
to ensure that it accelerates its growth

  A  5-year  strategic  plan  for  our 
businesses  was  completed  in  FY11 
after  extensive  consultations  and 
a  detailed  review  of  our  portfolio 
and  organization  structure.  This 
plan  has  led  to  an  organizational 
remodeling  which  would  facilitate 
growth  through  greater  levels  of 
empowerment and delegation while 
sharpening  accountability.  L&T  has 
accordingly  been  restructured  into 
multiple  Independent  Companies

entities, 
are  vertically  integrated  business 
segments  with  their  own  internal 
boards  which  include  a  number 
of  independent  directors  and  a 
representative  director  from  the 
parent company on each IC Board. 
This will allow greater independence 
in functioning and provide external 
and  broader  business  perspectives 
to  the  IC  management.  The  new 
structure has been rolled out and is 
beginning to function.

and  critical  activities

the  facilities  for  manufacture  of 
supercritical  boilers  turbines,  and 
critical  piping  which  have  been 
commissioned, have plugged a vital 
gap  in  our  EPC  Power  offerings 
to  customers.  In  addition,  all  the

impacting key sectors like Infrastructure, 
Power  and  Hydrocarbon  experienced 
macro  headwinds  during  the  year.

however,  a  number  of  strong  macro 
tailwinds  as  well  that  were  mitigating 
the  adverse  situation.  These  include  a 
steady  correction  of  the  fi scal  defi cit 
through better-than-expected proceeds 
from  3G  Telecom  License  auction, 
sustainable  buoyancy  in  both  direct 
and indirect tax revenues, GDP growth 
rate  of  around  8.5%,  the  consequent 
increase  in  per  capita  income  and 
the  consumption  spends,  a  sustained 
rate  of  domestic  savings  hovering 
around  35%  of  nominal  GDP  and  the 
intention  of  the  Government  to  push 
for  reforms.  Aided  by  these  favorable 
factors,  the  Company  expects  the 
growth  momentum  in  the  economy 
the  near 
to  continue

Outlook

The  Company  believes  that  in  the 
forthcoming year, it will still continue to 
bag important E&C Projects across the 
sectors  that  it  operates  in  and  hence 
further grow its Order Book position by 
the end of the forthcoming year. Some 
areas  of  opportunities  are  detailed 
as under –

heavy  engineering  facility 
in 
Oman  is  strategically  located 
for  conversion  of  prospects  to 
business in the Middle East.

b)  Nuclear Power

Japan  have 

  While  the  tsunami  damage  to 
the  Fukushima  nuclear  plants 
in 
triggered  a 
worldwide  relook  at  the  need 
for nuclear power as an energy 
source, it is the considered view 
of  the  Company  that  this  may 
push  back  large  ordering  of 
nuclear power capacity addition 
in the world by a few years. As 
far  as  India  is  concerned,  the 
ambitious  program  of  ramping 
up  the  installed  base  to  20GW 
by 2020 and to 63GW by 2032 
is  likely  to  be  on  track  with  a 
couple of years delay because of 
more stringent safety measures 
that  will  become  mandatory 
during  construction  of  nuclear 
power  plants.  The  JV  with 
Nuclear  Power  Corporation  of 
India Ltd. is progressing and the 
completion  of  facilities  for  the 
forging  plant  is  on  schedule. 
The  Company  believes 
that 
large  scale  ordering  of  new 
facilities  will  happen  over  the 
few  years  and  your 
next 
Company 
is  well  poised  to 
exploit this potential.

to  catch  growth  opportunities

Inspite  of  diffi cult  hurdles
in  this  sector  in  the  form  of
land  acquisition  and  getting
coal  linkages,  the  Company  is
positive on the various business
prospects 
in  this  area.  The
Company  is  uniquely  placed  to

The  Company  has,  over  the  years,
built  an  enviable  reputation  of
being able to deliver large complex

Engineering & Construction Division (E&C):

The  E&C  (Projects)  Division  (E&C-P)  has  a  track  record 
of  executing  a  number  of  large  size,  complex  projects 
including  in  GCC  region  where  it  has  established  a 
good presence.

E&C-P is approved & pre-qualifi ed as EPC contractor by 
major International players like Petronas, PTT Exploration 
&  Production  Company  Limited  (PTTEP),  Shell,  Exxon 
Mobil,  Chevron,  Conoco  Phillips,  ADNOC,  KNPC, 
KOC,  QP,  Saudi  Aramco,  GASCO,  ENOC,  Chemanol, 
BANAGAS.

Major  International  projects  executed  recently  include 
wellhead  platform  project  of  Maersk  Oil  Qatar,  Gas 
handling  facilities  for  GASCO,  Gas  Pipeline  for  Qatar 
Petroleum  and  Construction  of  Jet  fuel  Depot  project 
for Kuwait Aviation Fuelling Company.

The  Division  continues  to  focus  on  GCC  countries 
and  in  addition  is  looking  at  business  opportunities  in 
North Africa, South East Asia and Australia. As part of 
strategic  plan  2015,  a  number  of  initiatives  have  been 
taken in this regard.

Capitalizing  on  world  class  fabrication  facilities  at 
strategically  located  yards  &  in-house  engineering 
capabilities,  the  Division  is  well  poised  to  scale  up 
International operations.

PT&D International Business Group of the Construction 
Division  has  played  a  signifi cant  role  in  the  power 
evacuation, power transmission and distribution projects 
across the GCC countries. Projects are executed on EPC 
basis  for  the  HV  Substation  /  Transmission  Line  with 
complete  In-house  Design,  Engineering,  Procurement 
and  Construction  including  Civil  &  MEP  services. 
Major  areas  of  operation  include  GIS  Substations-upto 
400  kV,  Transmission  Line–upto  400  kV,  underground 
EHV  Cabling,  Electrical  &  Instrumentation  works  for 
Industries / Oil and Gas Sectors. Our operations are wide 
spread  in  GCC  Countries  and  mainly  situated  in  UAE, 
Oman, Qatar, Kuwait & Saudi Arabia. The Company is 
also exploring business opportunities in South & North 
Africa.

Business Environment:

Real  GDP  growth  in  the  GCC  is  estimated  to  have 
rebounded  to  4.8%  in  2010  from  0.7%  in  2009. 
Sustained  expansionary  fi scal  policies,  supported  by 
higher  oil  prices,  helped  spur  faster  growth  in  non-oil 
sectors.  Although  the  overall  market  was  improving, 
project award decisions for most of the Transmission & 
Distribution projects especially in UAE got delayed due 
to certain structural changes. Dubai is still reeling under 
the post-recession effect.

Business Performance:

The  Postponement  /  delay  in  award  of  projects  by 
Government  sector  in  UAE  had  its  impact  on  the 
company’s  performance  parameters  in  terms  of  order 
infl ow as compared to previous year.

PT&D  business  reported  signifi cant  increase  in  both 
revenue  and  profi tability.  The  Sales  for  the  year  is 
`  3,170  crore,  rose  by  28%  as  compared  to  `    2,475 
crore  for  the  previous  year.  Order  book  of  the  SBG  as 
on  31st  March,  2011  is  `  3,961  crore.  The  Company 
has drawn up ambitious plans for its emerging business 
in the new geographical areas viz. Bahrain, Saudi Arabia 
& African continent.

The  2011  outlook  for  GCC  countries  remains  positive 
& real GDP growth is projected to accelerate to 6% in 
2011  from  an  estimated  4.8%  in  2010  as  sustained 
public  infrastructure  spending,  supported  by  higher 
oil  prices,  helps  spur  faster  non-oil  growth.  With 
oil  prices  expected  to  rise  to  an  average  of  $85/b  in 
2011,  GCC  public  fi nances  will  remain  reassuringly 
strong, despite increased spending. Also due to recent 
geo-political  disturbances  witnessed  in  MENA  region, 
the  government  has  proactively  been  spending  more 
money  on  improving  the  infrastructure  facilities  which 
will  pave  way  for  more  business  opportunities.  Major 
government projects which are deferred in UAE / Qatar 
are  expected  to  get  fi nalized  in  the  year  2011-12. 
The  reinforced  thrust  to  re-enter  Saudi,  Kuwait  and 
geographical  expansion  to  South  Africa  is  expected 
to  yield  good  results  in  the  years  to  come.  Focusing 
our  attention  on  Power  Transmission  Business  and 
penetration  in  to  Middle  East  market  is  expected  to 
provide  lots  of  opportunities  to  sustain  the  growth 
momentum.

• 

Sasol for CTL Projects worldwide.

Manufacturing & Industrial Products (MIP):

HE  is  looking  at  exploiting  the  good  performance  of 
supplying Shell gasifi ers in China to expand and acquire 
business of Shell gasifi cation worldwide. South America 
in general & Brazil in particular is emerging as a major 
market  for  process  plant  equipment.  The  Division  has 
booked orders for the supply of Reactors & Coke Drums 
for North East Refi nery project of Petroleo Brasileiro S.A 
– Petrobras, Brazil. Middle East & North Africa (MENA) 
continues  to  be  focus  market  for  the  Division.  Orders 
for  supply  of  critical  equipment  to  fertilizer  projects 
have  been  received  from  Oman  and  Algeria.  China 
continues  to  remain  a  major  market  for  the  Division’s 
products.

A  new  territory  has  been  opened  in  Vietnam  for  Urea 
Plant and Australia for Ammonia Plant equipment.

Opportunities  for  export  of  Defence,  Nuclear  Power 
&  Aerospace  equipment  are  being  explored  as  well. 
Orders  have  been  received  from  Israeli  Aerospace 
Industries as key Offset Partner in the areas of Weapon 
Systems,  Radars  and  Aerospace.  The  Defence  Business 
is also interacting with major international players in the 

Rubber  Machinery  Business  Unit  (LTM  BU)  has  been 
continuously working on development of new market in 
exports. During the year, the Unit has been successful in 
obtaining an order for prototype from a new customer 
in  Germany  for  supply  of  Hydraulic  Tyre  Curing  Press. 
On successful completion, LTM will supply these presses 
to their plants worldwide.

During  2010-11,  the  physical  export  of  Industrial 
machinery from Kansbahal was ` 20.93 crore, primarily 
due to good order booking in 2009-10. However, there 
was a fall in Deemed Exports due to very low orders on 
Pulp & Paper Machinery.

Valves  business  of  the  Company  bucked  the  trend  of 
past years and with the steady increase in the oil prices, 
many  projects  have  been  announced  by  Oil  Majors, 
particularly, Middle East. The business scenario in Oil & 
Gas looks very positive with major investments planned 
in  Middle  East,  Australia  and  SE  Asia,  almost  close  to 
US$ 170Bn planned in Middle East alone.

Another  source  of  opportunity  for  Company  is  that 
global  oil-majors  are  now  looking  for  long  term

Annexure ‘C’ To The Directors’ Report

A.  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance refers to a set of laws, regulations and good practices that enable an organization to perform 
effi ciently and ethically generate long term wealth and create value for all its stakeholders. The Company believes that 
sound  Corporate  Governance  is  critical  for  enhancing  and  retaining  investor  trust  and  the  Company  always  seeks  to 
ensure  that  its  performance  goals  are  met  with  integrity.  The  Company  has  established  systems  and  procedures  to 
ensure that its Board of Directors is well informed and well equipped to fulfi ll its overall responsibilities and to provide 
management  with  the  strategic  direction  needed  to  create  long  term  shareholders  value.  The  Company  has  always 
worked  towards  building  trust  with  shareholders,  employees,  customers,  suppliers  and  other  stakeholders  based  on 
the principles of good corporate governance viz., integrity, equity, transparency, fairness, disclosure, accountability and 
commitment to values.

B.  COMPANY’S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY

The  Company’s  essential  character  revolves  around  values  based  on  transparency,  integrity,  professionalism  and 
accountability. At the highest level, the Company continuously endeavors to improve upon these aspects on an ongoing 
basis  and  adopts  innovative  approaches  for  leveraging  resources,  converting  opportunities  into  achievements  through 
proper  empowerment  and  motivation,  fostering  a  healthy  growth  and  development  of  human  resources  to  take  the 
Company forward.

C.  THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

The Company has four tiers of Corporate Governance structure, viz.:

(i) 

Strategic Supervision – by the Board of Directors comprising the Executive and Non-Executive Directors.

(ii)  Strategy & Operational Management – by the Independent Company Boards in each Independent Company (not 
legal  entities)  (IC)  comprising  of  representatives  from  the  Company  Board,  Senior  Executives  from  the  IC  and 
Independent Members.

(iii)  Executive  Management  –  by  the  Executive  Management  comprising  of  the  CMD/Executive  Directors  and  four 

Senior Managerial Personnel and two Advisors to the Chairman.

(iv)  Operational Management – by the Strategic Business Unit (SBU) Heads.

The  four-tier  governance  structure,  besides  ensuring  greater  management  accountability  and  credibility,  facilitates 
increased  autonomy  of  businesses,  performance  discipline  and  development  of  business  leaders,  leading  to  increased 
public confi dence.

D.  ROLES OF VARIOUS CONSTITUENTS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN THE COMPANY

a.  Board of Directors (the Board):

The  Directors  of  the  Company  are  in  a  fi duciary  position,  empowered  to  oversee  the  management  functions 
with a view to ensure its effectiveness and enhancement of shareholders value. The Board reviews and approves 
management’s strategic plan & business objectives and monitors the Company’s strategic direction.

b.  Executive Management Committee (EMC):

The EMC plays an important role in maintaining the linkage between IC’s and the Company’s Board as well as in 
realizing inter-IC synergies and cross cutting opportunities. The key responsibilities of the EMC include approval of 
policies cutting across IC’s and at Corporate level such as capital investments, expansions, customer and supplier 
synergy, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and reviewing the consolidated fi nancials and budgets before they 
are presented to the Company‘s Board.

c.  Chairman & Managing Director (CMD):

The  CMD  is  the  Chief  Executive  Offi cer  of  the  Company.  He  is  the  Chairman  of  the  Board  and  the  Executive 
Management Committee. His primary role is to provide leadership to the Board and the Corporate Management 
for realizing the approved strategic plan and business objectives. He presides over the Board and the Shareholders’ 
meetings.

d.  Executive Directors (ED) / Senior Management Personnel (SMP):

The Executive Directors, as members of the Board, along with the Senior Management Personnel in the Executive 
Management  Committee,  contribute  to  the  strategic  management  of  the  Company’s  businesses  within  Board 
approved direction and framework. They assume overall responsibility for strategic management of business and 
corporate functions including its governance processes and top management effectiveness. As regards Subsidiaries, 
Associates and Joint Venture Companies, they act as the custodians of the Company’s interests and are responsible 
for their governance in accordance with the approved plans.

e.  Non-Executive Directors (NED):

The Non-Executive Directors play a critical role in enhancing balance to the Board processes with their independent 
judgment  on  issues  of  strategy,  performance,  resources,  standards  of  conduct,  etc.,  besides  providing  the  Board 
with valuable inputs.

f. 

Independent Company Board (IC Board):

The  Company  developed  its  strategic  plan  for  2010-15  (‘Lakshya  2015’),  which  identifi ed  various  opportunity 
areas for the Company to focus on, over the next fi ve years. As a part of this exercise, there was a comprehensive 
detailing  of  the  initiatives  required  to  capture  the  identifi ed  opportunities,  as  well  as  the  capital  structure  and 
organization required to support this.

Given the immense growth agenda ahead for all the businesses of the Company, there was a strong imperative to 
restructure  the  Company’s  organization  model  to  enable  this  accelerated  growth  through  greater  empowerment 
and delegation, while at the same time, maintaining suitable levels of accountability and preserving the Company‘s 
core values and culture.

After studying various global and Indian best practices and taking into account the Company’s unique circumstances, 
the entire Company was restructured into 10 Independent Companies (ICs) (not legal entities), with each IC having 
it’s  own  Board.  The  IC  Board  comprises  of  representatives  from  the  Company  (Executive  Director,  Non-Executive 
Director and / or Advisors), Senior Executives of the IC and Independent Members. The Independent Members are 
typically industry experts, academicians, etc., identifi ed in line with the needs of the IC. The IC Board will oversee 
amongst other matters, the overall business performance of the IC, strategy implementation, and the approval of 
capital, revenue and manpower budgets.

E.  BOARD OF DIRECTORS

a.  Composition of the Board:

The Company’s policy is to have an appropriate mix of Executive & Non-Executive Directors. As on date, the Board 
comprises Chairman & Managing Director, 6 Executive Directors and 9 Non-Executive Directors. The composition 
of the Board is in conformity with Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement.

b.  Meetings of the Board:

The  Meetings  of  the  Board  are  generally  held  at  the  Registered  Offi ce  of  the  Company  at  L&T  House,  Ballard 
Estate, Mumbai 400 001 and also if necessary, in locations, where the Company operates. During the year under 
review,  13  Meetings  were  held  on  April  1,  2010,  May  17,  2010,  July  27,  2010,  July  31,  2010,  August  1,  2010,

as and when required, of their role, responsibilities 
& liabilities.

b) 

Information to Directors:

objectivity.  Robust  internal  control  systems  and 
risk  management  framework,  review  of  Auditors’ 
performance  by  the  Audit  Committee  and  peer 
review  of  the  Audit  fi rm,  are  some  of  the  more 
important  factors  that  prevent  audit  failures.  Mr. 
R. D. Kare has signed the audit report for 2010-11 
on behalf of S&T.

The Board of Directors has complete access to the 
information within the Company, which inter alia, 
includes items as mentioned on Pages 48 and 49 
in Annexure ‘C’ to the Directors‘ Report.
Presentations  are  made  regularly  to  the  Board  / 
N&R Committee / Audit Committee (AC) (minutes 
of  AC  &  N&R  Committee  are  circulated  to  the 
Board),  where  Directors  get  an  opportunity  to 
interact  with  senior  managers.  Presentations,

structure,  HR  policy,  management  development 
and  succession  planning,  quarterly  and  annual 
results, budgets, treasury policy, review of Internal 
Audit, risk management framework, operations of 
subsidiaries and associates, etc.
Independent Directors have the freedom to interact 
with  the  Company’s  management.  Interactions 
happen  during  Board  /  Committee  meetings, 
when  senior  company  personnel  are  asked  to 
make  presentations  about  performance  of  their 
Independent  Company  /  Business  Unit,  to  the 
Board. Such interactions also happen when these 
Directors meet senior management in IC meetings 
and informal gatherings.

The Company has in place mechanisms to inform 
Board  members  about  the  risk  assessment  and 
minimization  procedures  and  periodical  review  to 
ensure  that  executive  management  controls  risk 
by means of a properly defi ned framework.

Management Discussion & Analysis 2010-2011

Global Economic Condition

The 21st century is seeing a fundamental 
reshaping  of  the  way  business,  society 
and  governments  operate.  In  recent 
its 
times,  the  economic  crisis  and 
the 
repercussions  have  accelerated 
shift  of  economic  power  from  the 
developed  to  the  emerging  nations 
and  exposed  a  fragile  world  with 
limited capacity to respond to systemic 
risks.  As  a  consequence,  the  global 
economic  growth  has  stymied  and 
likely  to  traverse  in  an  uncertain  zone 
for some years to come.

Investments from developed economies 
have  typically  fl own  into  emerging 
markets,  which  offer  more  dramatic 
growth  and  strong  returns.  However, 
some  of  these  markets  are  associated 
with  high  volatility  and  socio-political 
tensions,  giving  rise  to  new  set  of 
investment  risks.  In  addition,  growing 
consumption  demand 
in  emerging 
markets 
is  driving  up  commodity 
prices,  both  crude  oil  and  other  raw 
materials  which  is  expected  to  impede 
the  global  economic  recovery  in  the 
medium term.

It  is  encouraging  that  Infrastructure 
has  been  the  focal  point  of  the 
government’s  budget  proposals  for 
2011-2012,  accounting  for  a  record 
49% of total plan allocation. In order to 
strengthen  public-private  partnerships 
it  has  proposed  additional  avenues 
for  fi nancing  infrastructure  projects. 
However, the resilience of the economy 
would  continue  to  get  tested  in  the 
medium term by the challenges thrown 
up by a struggling world economy and 
domestic  pressures  of  infl ation  and 
increasing interest rates.

resources, 

The  major  challenges  besetting  the 
world  economy  are  managing  the 
shift  in  balance  of  power  from  the 
developed  to  emerging  economies, 
increasing  competition  for  securing 
natural 
improving 
productivity  in  the  wake  of  growing 
skill  mismatches,  non-inclusive  growth 
in the emerging economies and above 
all,  a  looming  economic  uncertainty 
and 
fragility.  Today 
the  global  economy  is  awaiting  a 
movement  where  governments  defi ne 
new  ways  of  relating  to  each  other, 
operate 
frameworks  and 
business models, while coping with the
ever-evolving challenges.

socio-political 

in  new 

A  more  thoughtful  analysis  reveals 
that  global  rebalancing  needs  to  be 
a  long-term,  collaborative  process.  It 
must  encompass  those  excluded  from 
the  fruits  of  global  prosperity  and 
encourage  those  who  have  prospered 
to  continue  doing  so  in  a  sustainable 
manner. The recent economic crisis and 
socio-political  tensions  demonstrated 
longer 
that  systemic  risks  can  no 
be  tidily  contained  and  addressed 
in  a  single  ecosystem  but  require
a  multi-disciplinary,  multi-stakeholder 
effort  to  improve  the  global  economic 
system’s overall resilience.

Overview of Indian Economy

The 
Indian  economy  witnessed  a 
higher growth in GDP of 8.5% for the 
year  2010-2011  over  a  growth  of  8% 
in  2009-2010.  A  strong  rebound  in 
agriculture  and  continued  momentum 
in  some  sectors  of  manufacturing  and 
construction  enabled  the  economy  to 
achieve a higher growth in 2010-2011.
Economic growth was supported on the 
demand  side,  by  private  consumption 
during 
the  year,  and  accelerated 
investment  in  the  fi rst  three  quarters 
of  2010-2011.  Consumer  durables, 
Automobile  sector  and  engineering 
goods  shored  up  the  overall  industrial 
sector performance. In 2011-2012, the 
projected  growth  rate  is  in  the  range 
of 8% to 8.5%. 

Aided  by 
its  young  demographic 
profi le,  India  is  regarded  as  one  of 
the  youngest  economies  in  the  world 
with  considerable  opportunities  as  a 
consumer market and a manufacturing 
hub.  To  achieve  a  sustainable  growth, 
the  country  needs  to  push  forward 
and 
critical 
innovative  public-private  partnerships 
to  deliver  rapid  and  inclusive  growth 
and  an  enabling  environment 
for 
upgrading infrastructure.

capacity additions in the thermal power 
segment  have  been  planned  during 
12th Five-year Plan, with special thrust 
to super critical technology. The sector, 
however, needs to tackle environmental 
and  social  issues  expeditiously,  besides 
tying  up  fuel  sources  so  as  to  achieve 
the targeted growth in capacity.

Business Challenges

Sustained  economic  growth  in  India 
on  the  backdrop  of  slow  recovery 
internationally,  will  continue  to  attract 
global EPC players to the country. The 
emerging prospects in the Middle East 
are  also  expected  to  witness  intense 
competition.  Low  cost  Chinese  power 
plant 
equipment  manufacturers, 
tariff  protection  and 
armed  with 
shorter  delivery  schedules,  pose  a 
major  challenge  to  domestic  power 
equipment manufacturers. On the cost 
front,  input  prices  are  expected  to  rise 
further. The ability of businesses to handle 
competition will depend upon success of 
technology tie ups, pre-bid alliances, cost 
leadership and execution excellence.

The  year  2010-2011  saw  sustained 
increase  in  the  prices  of  major  inputs 
and  raw  materials.  Considering  the 
huge need for domestic infrastructure, 
there  could  be  some  imbalance  in  the 
demand  and  supply  scenario  leading 
to  increasing  costs  and  pressures  on

Growth Strategies & Thrust Areas

Ensuring  cost  competitiveness,  timely

success  factors  for  the  projects  and 
product  businesses  to  achieve  the 
desired  growth  in  the  medium  term. 
The  major  strategies  for  growth  are 
enumerated below:

•  New business structure rollout:

  The  Company  has 

embarked 
upon  implementation  of  Lakshya 
Perspective  Plan  for  the  period 
2010-2015. The fi rst year of the Plan 
has  successfully  commenced  with 
completion  of  most  of  the  changes 

in  policies  &  processes  pursuant  to 
formation of Independent Companies 
(ICs) and the new structure is effective 
April 1, 2011. The new IC structure 
is  expected  to  facilitate  scalable, 
high impact organisational structure 
in  the  near  future.  The  formation 
of  ICs  would  empower  businesses 
to  harness  sectoral  opportunities, 
enhance  competitiveness,  attract 
talent, create leadership bandwidth, 
increase accountability and strengthen 
performance culture.

•  Capacity Expansion:

  Kattupalli, 

and 

speed  up  delivery. 

Talegaon, 
Hazira, 
Coimbatore  and  Vadodara  are  the 
major  locations  in  India  where  the 
manufacturing

facilities  are  being  beefed  up  to 
capability 
execution 
strengthen 
and 
In  a 
major  milestone, 
the  Company 
commissioned  the  country’s  fi rst 
private sector completely integrated 
facilities  for  the  manufacture  of 
Super  Critical  Boiler  and  Turbine 
Generators  at  Hazira,  Gujarat  in 
2010-2011.  In  the  year  2011-2012, 
the  manufacturing  facility  of  Super 
Critical  Boiler  will  be  operational 
with  full  indigenisation  and  Turbine 
manufacturing  facility  will  achieve

for  Chennai  Metro,  E-BoP  (Electrical 
Balance of Plant) for Amravati Thermal 
Power  Plant  in  Nagpur  and  many 
Transmission Line orders in India. In the 
Middle-East  the  IC  bagged  more  than 
a  dozen  substation  and  distribution 
orders from some of the leading players 
like Abu Dhabi TRANSCO, ADWEA etc. 
It obtained pre-qualifi cation in countries 
like  UAE,  Qatar,  Kuwait  and  Northern 
Africa  for  220  KV  substations/cabling, 
Transmission  Lines  upto  500KV.  This 
would  auger  well  for  the  order  infl ow

There are lot of positives for the PT&D 
business  in  India  and  the  Middle  East. 
In  India,  the  Government  utilities  like 
PGCIL,  NTPC  and  State  Electricity 
Boards  are  likely  to  continue  their 
investments.  A  sizeable  amount  of 
business  is  also  expected  from  steel  & 
material  handling  projects.  STUs  (State

Business Environment

Domestic  market,  which  is  a  major 
contributor  to  revenues,  is  increasingly 
getting  fl ooded  with  new  aggressive 
competitors, both Indian and foreign.

The  Division  is  taking  actions  in  terms 
improving  cost  competitiveness, 
of 
diversifying  into  new  geographies  & 
venturing into new product lines.

During  the  year  a  few  orders  got 
deferred  both  on  domestic  as  well  as 
on  international  front.  The  uncertainty 
over  gas  allocation  policy  and  subsidy 
sharing  has  impacted  the  award  of 
major fertilizer orders in India. In Middle 
East  region,  there  is  slow  progress  on 
tendering  of  projects  particularly  on 
account  of  recent  political  tensions. 
However,  HCP  has  been  successful  in

EPC Power Division

Overview

The 2010-2011 has seen the emergence 
of EPC Power Division as a credible player 
in the power sector. This is gratifying as 
the  success  of  EPC  Power  is  critical  to 
the Company’s performance. Defi nitive 
steps have been taken by the Division, 
whereby, the Company will be providing 
equipment  and  services  encompassing 
nearly  75%  to  85%  in  value  terms  of 
a thermal power plant.

On  January  11,  2011,  the  Company 
dedicated  its  Boiler  and  Steam  Turbine 
facilities  at 
Generator  manufacturing 
Hazira, Gujarat to the nation. The facilities 
have  been  set  at  an  investment  of  nearly 
`  2000  crore,  to  usher  in  a  new  era  of 
super  critical  technology  equipment  in 
Indian power plants.

The year also saw substantial progress in 
setting up the facilities for manufacture 
of Power Auxiliaries at Hazira. The high 
pressure  piping  fabrication  facility  was 
commissioned  and  production  has 
commenced in March 2011.

UK  for  the  manufacture  of  axial  fans 
and  air-preheaters  also  made  good 
progress in terms of factory construction 
and  equipment  ordering.  With  this  EPC 
Power  will  have  in-house  capabilities 
to  provide  nearly  85%  (by  value)  of 
equipment/services  required  in  a  power 
plant.

Performance Highlights

During  the  year,  the  ongoing  projects 
made  good  progress,  in  line  with 
the  schedules.  The  Steam  Turbine 
Generator  (STG)  for  Unit  1  and  all  the 
Turbine  components  were  delivered 
at  the  2x800  MW  site  of  APPDCL,  
Krishnapatnam.  The  2x384  MW  Gas-
based  power  project  of  GMR  group  at

Business Environment

Power  continues  to  be  a  thrust  area 
in  India  due  to  the  continuing  scarcity 
across  several  regions.  Several  state 
owned  entities  and  also  Independent 
Power  Producers  (IPP)  have  planned 
new power plants as well as expansion 
of  existing  power  plants  based  on 
thermal  power,  both  gas  and  coal. 
Several  measures  are  planned  by  the 
Government  to  promote  investments 
in the power sector.

Despite the focused approach towards 
increasing 
the  power  generation 
capacity, the planned capacity additions 
and  expansion  in  the  sector  have  not 
met 
target.  The  planned  addition 
as  per  the  Eleventh  Plan  was  about 
78000  MW  but  the  expected  addition 
is  likely  to  be  around  51000  MW.  The 
Twelfth  Plan 
[2012-2017]  envisages 
capacity  addition  of  105000MW  in 
power  development  with 
thermal 
power  expected  to  be  the  biggest 
benefi ciary.

to demand substantially smaller project 
schedules  primarily  on  account  of  the 
quicker  delivery  schedules  for  critical 
equipment  being  offered  by  Chinese 
suppliers  as  well  as  the  need  to  cash-
in  on  the  prevailing  higher  merchant 
power  rates  that  could  see  a  major 
drop  as  power  supply  in  the  country 
increases.

Some  concerns  prevail  on  the  policy 
front as well. Several projects have seen 
delays  due  to  concerns  regarding  the 
environmental  impact,  issues  relating 
to  land  acquisition  and  compensation, 
non-availability  of  fuel  linkages  and 
water  etc.  Recent  directives  from  the 
Ministry  of  Environment  &  Forests 
with  regard  to  mining  of  coal  as  well 
as 
for  environmental 
clearance  are  likely  to  exacerbate  the 
situation.  Even  on  the  gas  front,  the 
initial  euphoria  over  discoveries  in  the 
KG  D6  basin  has  not  seen  translation 
in  the  form  of  large  investments  for 
commercial  exploitation  of  the  assets.

Business Environment

The  Order  Infl ow  and  Sales  during 
2010-2011  were  adversely  impacted 
due  to  the  overall  sluggish  global 
economic  scenario  in  most  of  the 
business  segments  of  the

The  shipyard  management  is  focusing 
on  establishing  proper  systems  and 
processes  to  increase  the  operational 
effi ciencies  and  reduce  cycle  time  to 
meet customer expectations on quality 
and delivery. There have been sustained 
efforts  to  tie-up  with  a  major  global 
shipyards  for  technology  transfer.  The 
Company  has  also  recruited  industry 
experts  to  train  our  existing  staff  to 
enable  us  to  achieve  global  standards 
of quality shipbuilding.

Outlook

The HE IC sees some of the international 
grassroot  refi neries,  gas  &  fertilizer 
projects  heading 
towards  fi nancial 
closure,  in  the  near  future.  Major 
domestic upgrade & expansion projects 
are also expected to be decided shortly. 
South America, Europe, Middle East and 
South  East  Asia  offer  good  potential 

for  upgrade/expansion  projects.  The 

HE  IC  also  expects  good  prospects 

from  overseas  Gas/LNG  projects.  The 

domestic fertilizer projects are expected 

to  take  off  once  the  Government 

announces 

its  new  Urea  and  Gas 

Allocation  policy.  Fertilizer  projects  are 

expected in gas rich regions like Brazil, 

Algeria,  Vietnam,  Malaysia,  Indonesia 

and  Russia.  There  are  prospects  for 

coal  gasifi cation  projects  from  China 

and Australia, as well as from India.

The Japanese nuclear crisis is leading to 

a thorough review of Safety Standards 

in  their  ability  to  handle  multiple 

natural  disasters  simultaneously.  The 

Nuclear  Sector  Regulator  is  likely  to 

be  accorded  autonomy  for  overseeing 

Safety of Nuclear Plants. As a result of 

these  structural  changes,  slowdown 

of  1-2  years  is  expected  in  Nuclear 

Renaissance.  Site  selection  criteria  are 

likely  to  undergo  change  and  will  be 

more rigorous as compared to past. The 

HE IC is exploring new opportunities to 

reduce the impact.

The SB IC envisions itself to consolidate 
its position as an established platforms 
builder  for  the  Indian  Navy  and  Coast 
Guard  and  also  enter  into  repairs  and 
refi ts. Additional focus is being given on 
the  Marine  Equipment  segment.  With 
the  opening  up  of  the  Defence  sector 
and  the  thrust  on  indigenous  product 
development  and  system  integration 
capability, the share of private suppliers 
is expected to increase. The opening of 
the sector and indigenisation thrust by 
the Government is driving new private 
players  to  enter  in  the  Defence  sector. 
These would, in times to come, add to 
the  competition  in  this  segment.  The 
upcoming  shipyard  at  Katupalli  as  a 
deep  water  yard  however,  is  expected 
to give the SB IC an added advantage.

It is also working on formation of Joint 
Ventures  in  key  technology  areas  for 
Defence  applications,  with 
leading 
technology/system  providers,  which 
would lay the foundation for growth in 
the years to come. With the economic 
recessionary trend yet far from over, the 
coming year is likely to be challenging. 
However,  the  SB  IC  is  well  poised  to

The other sector which shows promise 
is Coal, with a large number of Thermal 
Power  plants  due  to  come  on  line  in 
the next fi ve years. The dependence on 
imported coal is due to increase which 

will  require  coastal  vessels  to  tranship 
from  large  ocean  carriers.  The  IC  also 
expects  a  growth  in  medium  sized

Business Environment

The  Indian  industrial  manufacturing 
has  shown  positive  signs  of  growth 
during  the  year  with  the  prime  drivers 
being Infrastructure and Power sectors. 
Private  sector  participation  in  Power 
segment  has  been  increasing  from 
about  11%  in  2006  to  20%  in  2010. 
De-licensing  of  the  power  generation 
sector,  development  of  electricity 
markets and the procurement of power 
through  competitive  bidding  process 
by  distribution  companies  have  helped 
increase private sector’s participation.

The IC benefi ted from this development 
by bagging new orders and completed 
last  fi nancial  year  with  a  strong  order 
book  as  well  as  moderate  growth 
in  the  top  line.  A  stiff  competitive 
environment,  delay  in  project  activities 

in  the 
international  market,  rising 
infl ation  and  the  volatile  commodity 
market  continue  to  pose  hurdles  to

Business Environment

a) Economic & Policy Environment

The  Construction  Equipment  Industry 
has  shown  fair  amount  of  recovery, 
largely  on  account  of  the  road  sector 
and  pick-up  in  general  construction 
activities.  This  has  refl ected  in  better 
performance  of  CMB 
in  the  year 
2010-2011  compared  to  the  previous 
year.  The  growth  of  Indian  cement 
industry  continued  with  fi nalisation  of 
many  new  greenfi eld  and  brownfi eld 
projects.  There  has  been  continued 
investment in Pulp & Paper industry as

alone  being  planned.  However,  North 
America  and  Europe  continue  to  have 
dearth  of  major  projects.  Despite  the 
higher demand in the domestic market, 
overall  project  costs  are  coming  down 
due  to  competitive  bids  from  EPCs 
in  Korea  and  China.  This  has  made 
European  and  American  EPCs  also 
to  cut  down  costs  drastically  and 
consequently prices of valves are under 
severe  pressure.  Global  Oil  majors  are 
also looking for long term agreements 
with  valve  manufacturers  to  peg  the 
price levels with attractive volumes and 
exclusivity for better cost control.

On  Power  sector  front  in  India,  many 
private  players  have 
successfully 
commissioned  the  supercritical  power 
plants  and  confi dently  going  ahead 
with  more  plants  in  660MW  size. 
This  has  attracted  many  international 
valve  manufacturers  to  set  up  shop 
in  India.  With  this  additional  capacity 
among  valve  manufacturers  in  India, 
the intensity of competition is likely to 
increase in power projects.

There has been excess foundry capacity

present  impediments  in  the  near  term 
for  expansion  in  mining  equipment 
demand.

Outlook

The  market  demand  for  Hydraulic 
Excavators  is  expected  to  improve  in 
2011-2012 on account of the increase 
in spending in the urban infrastructure, 
roads,  general  construction  sectors 
and  spending  by  the  Government  on 
various infrastructure projects.

It is expected that the Mining Equipment 
business will continue to see a growth 
on account of investments being made 
both  in  the  public  and  private  sectors 
to  augment  coal  production.  The 
demand  for  metals  like  iron  ore,  zinc 
etc. is also expected to help growth of 
this  business  segment.  Gap  between 
coal  demand  and  supply,  continues 
to  provide  a  growing  opportunity 
for  Mining  Equipment.  CMB  is  well 
placed  to  take  advantage  of  these 
opportunities  through  supply  of  large 
size  Mining  Equipment  both  to  the 
public  and  private  coal  producing 
companies.  However,  environmental 
issues  may

land  acquisition 

The  Valves  business  saw  a  return 
of  order  booking,  both  from  the 
Hydrocarbon and Power sectors, during 
the  year  and  this  augurs  well  for  the 
ensuing years.

With the implementation of the private 
sector  projects  in  many  states  and  the 
NTPC’s  plan  for  new  units  there  is 
a  good  scope  for  Valves  business  in 
the  coming  year.  It  is  also  pursuing 
opportunities  with 
the  Chinese 
contractors  who  have  secured  a  large 
number of these projects in India.

continue 

Demand  for  Industrial  Machinery  from 
Mineral  Processing  and  Infrastructure 
show  an 
segments 
upward  trend.  This  should  provide 
good business opportunities for KBL in 
Crushing & Screening segment as well 
as  Wheel  Loaders.  It  is  also  expected 
that the ‘MARC’ Contracts for Surface 
Miners  shall  generate  much 
larger 
business volumes in the coming years.

The  Global  tyre  companies  announced 
their  projects  in  India  and  a  few  of 

them  have  started  acquiring  land  and 
initiated  the  project  construction.  It  is 
anticipated  that  the  investment  plans 
of  tyre  majors  will  result  in  sizeable 
business  opportunities  for  equipment 
suppliers.  As  a  result,  the  Company 
is  poised  to  take  advantage  of  this 
situation  with  its  plants  in  India  and 
China.

With  a  view  of  consolidating  and 
the  Welding  Products 
enhancing 
business,  the  Company  bought  out 
the stake of its partner in EWAC Alloys 
Limited  which  has  now  become  a 
wholly-owned subsidiary. The prospects 
for  this  business  continue  to  look 
good.  New  investments  in  machine 
tools by customers continued in 2010-
2011  adding  to  growth  in  market  size

not only to pursue innovation for new 
markets and new products but also to 
gain margin enhancements.

Engineering  R&D  has  been  one  of  the 
early  adopters  of  the  “Globalisation” 
phenomenon. The impact of the trend 
can be felt on Engineering R&D services 
market  as  companies  are  no  longer 
offshoring  only  for  cost  benefi ts,  but 
are increasingly utilising offshoring:

•  to achieve fl exible resource capacity 
(especially  in  industries  with  cyclical 
engineering  workload  and  short 
product lifecycles)

•  to reduce the ‘Time-to-Market’

•  to  develop  localised  products  for 

emerging markets.

Engineering  R&D  outsourcing  to  India 
is  increasing  at  fast  pace  and  analysts 
predict  that  this  will  quadruple  to
$  40-45  billion  by  2020  from  $8.3 
billion  in  2009.  The  major  growth 
in  outsourcing  to  India  is  expected 

from  Infrastructure,  Energy,  Chemical, 
Pharmaceutical,  Consumer  Electronics, 
Medical  Devices,  Automotive,  and 
Aerospace  domain  because  of  the

Outlook

Slow  global  economic  recovery  along 
with  the  tightening  of  outsourcing 
norms, dented the growth of all sectors 
in the year 2010-2011. However, even 
in  such  a  challenging  environment, 
IES  has  managed  to  hold  its  market 
share  and  expects  the  momentum 
to  continue  in  the  year  2011-2012. 
The  investment  in  emerging  verticals 
of  Aerospace  and  Medical  Devices  is 
expected  to  yield  substantial  results  in 
terms  of  incremental  revenues  from 
these  two  verticals.  Besides  this,  the 
addition of new services and European 
focused  sales  are  also  expected  to  be 
the  main  drivers  of  growth  envisaged 
for the coming year.

I.   ENCOURAGING PERFORMANCE AMIDST 

CHALLENGES

The Company reinforced its leadership position in its various 
businesses  through  its  good  sales  growth,  healthy  order 
book and improved segment EBITDA margins.

The  Company  secured  fresh  orders  totaling  to  `  79769 
crore in the year 2010-2011, registering a growth of 14.7% 
over  the  previous  year.  Slower  pace  of  activities  in  certain 
sectors  constrained  order  infl ow  growth  to  some  extent. 
EPC  Power,  Buildings  &  Factories,  Minerals  &  Metals  and 
Power  Transmission  &  Distribution  businesses  contributed 
signifi cantly  to  the  order  infl ows  during  the  year.  Large 
project  orders  above  ` 500  crore  each  constituted  60%  of 
the total Order Infl ow for the year.

Other Income

Other  Income  for  the  year  amounted  to  ` 1443  crore  as 
against ` 2025 crore for the previous year.

During the year, the Company divested its stake in L&T Case 
Equipment  Private  Limited,  an  associate  company  and  a 
part stake in Kesun Iron & Steel Company Private Limited, a 
subsidiary  company.  Other  Income  included  an  exceptional 
gain of ` 238 crore on sale of these stakes. A provision was 
made in the earlier years for the diminution in the value of 
a  strategic  investment.  During  the  year,  a  part  of  the  said 
provision amounting to ` 24 crore was reversed pursuant to 
the  divestment  of  a  part  stake  in  the  said  investment  and 
disclosed as an exceptional gain. Net of tax, total exceptional 
gain for the year worked out to ` 211 crore.

Other  gains  on  sale  of  investments  included  `  69  crore 
earned  on  sale  of  part  investment  in  the  equity  shares  of 
Satyam Computer Services Limited.

Dividends from Group companies during the year amounted 
to ` 231 crore as against ` 109 crore in the year 2010-2011. 
Temporary  surplus  funds  invested  in  low  risk  short  term 
investments earned an income of ` 164 crore.

Finance Cost

Interest  expense  for  the  year  amounted  to  ` 647  crore  as 
against  ` 505  crore  for  the  previous  year.  The  increase  is 
largely  attributable  to  borrowings  done  in  the  second  half 
of the previous year to fund the Company’s expansion plans. 
The  Company  managed  its  borrowing  prudently  during  the 
year  thereby  avoiding  the  impact  of  high  interest  rates 
prevailing in the economy during most part of the year and 
contained  the  average  borrowing  cost  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2011 at 8.0% p.a.

Profi t after tax and EPS

Besides  exceptional  gains  of  `  211  crore  earned  during 
the  year  as  elaborated  under  ‘Other  Income’  above,  an 
extraordinary  gain  of  ` 71  crore  was  recorded,  representing 
reversal of proportionate provision made for the diminution 
in  the  value  of  investment  in  Satyam  Computer  Services 
Limited,  pursuant  to  the  part  sale  of  the  said  investment  in 
2010-2011.

Previous  year  PAT  included  extraordinary  and  exceptional 
gains of ` 1191 crore.

Exclusive  of  extraordinary  and  exceptional  items,  the  Profi t 
after tax (PAT) at ` 3676 crore recorded a growth of 15.4% 
over  the  previous  year.  Overall  PAT  including  extraordinary

and exceptional items, for the year was ` 3958 crore vis-à-vis 
` 4376 crore for the year 2009-2010.

The Earnings per Share (EPS) at ` 64.16 showed a reduction 
of  10%  over  the  previous  year.  However,  excluding 
extraordinary  and  exceptional  gains,  EPS  for  the  year  at
` 60.68 recorded a growth of 13%.

Over  a  period  of  5  years,  PAT  excluding  exceptional  & 
extraordinary  items  registered  a  compound  growth  of  28% 
and  EPS  increased  2.4  times  from  ` 24.79  in  2006-2007  to

expanded  the  existing  production  facilities  at  Coimbatore, 
Hazira, Ahmednagar and Talegaon.

Gross  working  capital  as  at  March  31,  2011  was  ` 34951 
crore,  representing  79.6%  of  sales  vis-à-vis  71.3%  for  the 
previous year. The increase was mainly due to higher job work 
in  process,  and  increased  advances  to  Group  companies  to 
fund their growth initiatives. Net customer receivables as at 
the end of the year stood at ` 12428 crore, refl ecting 103 Days 
of Sales, lower than 110 Days Sales for the previous year.

Net  working  capital  as  at  March  31,  2011  increased  over 
the previous year due to relatively lower vendor credits and 
lower advances from customers.

At  the  Company  level,  investments  and  loans  to  subsidiary

Return on Net Worth (RONW) for the year 2010-2011 is at

Capital Employed (ROCE) for the year 2010-2011 at 15.1% 
also  shows  a  marginal  drop  over  the  ROCE  of  15.9%  for 
the  previous  year.  The  relative  reduction  in  the  returns  is 
attributable to the investments through Group companies in 
the emerging businesses and   expansion of facilities that are 
yet to reach peak utilization levels.

Economic  Value  Added  from  normal  operations  stands  at  a 
positive ` 503 crore.

Liquidity & Gearing

Cash  accruals  from  the  operations  were  lower  by  ` 1624 
crore as compared to the previous year mainly due to higher 
gross  working  capital  and  relatively  lower  increase  in  the 
trade  payables  and  customer  advances.  The  divestment 
proceeds  of  `  795  crore  supplemented  the  operational 
cash  accruals.  During  the  year  2010-2011,  the  Company 
repaid some of its long term loans. In the previous year, the 
Company  had  raised  additional  capital  by  way  of  Qualifi ed

input  costs, 

Rising 
intense  competition  and  subdued 
international markets posed considerable challenges for the 
businesses  of  the  segment  during  the  year.  The  segment 

revenue  at  ` 3214  crore  for  the  year  2010-2011,  registered 
a  modest  growth  of  7.6%  over  the  previous  year.  The 
EBITDA  margin  for  the  year  was  15.6%  mainly  contributed 
by  Electrical  Standard  Products  and  Metering  Protection  & 
Systems businesses.

The  segment  closing  Funds  Employed  at  `  1186  crore, 
increased by 4.8% as compared to that of previous year.

Machinery & Industrial Products Segment (MIP)

The segment revenue registered a growth of 25.8% for the 
year  ended  March  31,  2011  over  the  previous  year,  aided 
by  an  impressive  increase  in  the  sales  recorded  by  Valves, 
Construction  &  Mining  Machinery  and  Industrial  Products 
businesses.

The  segment  margins,  however,  declined  during  2010-2011 
largely  due  to  subdued  exports  of  Valves  and  lower 
proportion  of  sale  of  construction  machinery  spare  parts. 
These  product  lines  commanded  higher  margins.  The  Net

signifi cant increase in the year end working capital.

“Others” Segment

Integrated  Engineering  Services  (IES)  included  as  part  of 
the  “Others”  segment,  showed  a  robust  growth  of  60.8% 
in  revenue  for  2010-2011  at  `  532  crore.  An  improved 
business  condition,  especially  in  the  USA  and  ‘vertical’ 
focused  business  approach,  enabled  the  segment  to  post 
growth  in  its  revenue.  Backed  by  strong  sales  growth  and 
better  capacity  utilisation,  EBITDA  margin  of  IES  at  19.7% 
showed  an  improvement  of  5.4%,  as  compared  to  the 
previous  year.  The  Net  Funds  Employed  in  the  segment  at
` 543  crore  showed  an  increase  of  42.2%  as  compared  to 
the previous year, largely due to the increase in the year end 
working capital.

II.   RISK MANAGEMENT

Business uncertainties have magnifi ed manifold in the recent 
times.  Sluggish  world  economies  in  the  aftermath  of  the 
fi nancial crisis, severe natural disaster, simmering civil unrest 
in  many  parts  of  the  globe,  rising  oil  prices,  debates  over 
safety  standards  of  nuclear  installations,  acts  of  terrorism, 
international  sanctions  on  certain  economies  and  lack  of 
probity  in  public  life,  are  some  of  the  factors  that  seem  to 
destabilise  the  very  foundation  on  which  sound  business 
models  are  built.  Inherent  business  risks  of  an  organisation 
notwithstanding,  these  extrinsic  developments  seem  to 
hold  the  centre-stage  in  an  organisation’s  risk  management 
initiatives.

The Company’s business portfolio is dominated by Engineering 
and  Construction  segment  which  accounts  for  86%  of  its 
total  turnover.  This  segment’s  business  has  its  unique  risk 
characteristics,  being  a  technology  intensive,  long-delivery 
and  lump-sum  price  denominated  project  activity,  fraught 
with  unforeseen  events  that  continually  challenge  its  cost 
and  delivery  commitments.  Extreme  volatility  in  forex  and 
commodity  prices,  deteriorating  credit-worthiness  of  the 
customer, delays in project execution, inability of sub-vendors 
to maintain supplies of agreed quality and delivery etc. may 
leave  high  impact  on  a  project’s  profi tability.  Intensifying 
competition,  stringent  pre-qualifi cation  standards,  pressure 
on  margins  and  unfavourable  cash-fl ow  stream  in  certain 
projects add to the risk complexion of this business.

The Company has always been alive to these challenges and 
has  been  able  to  identify,  assess  and  effectively  mitigate 
the  risks  through  a  structured  process  of  risk  management. 

Its  project  management  team  has  the  requisite  expertise 
and  long  years  of  experience  in  tracking  most  of  these 
uncertainties  well  ahead  in  time,  and  putting  in  place 
appropriate mechanism for risk mitigation. To add credibility 
to  the  risk  management  culture  in  the  Company,  the  top 
management  team  has  been  leading  the  process  of  risk 
due diligence, by actively participating in the debate on risk 
evaluation and mitigation.

In order to optimise management bandwidth, the Company 
has  progressively  increased  the  size  of  orders  for  bidding 
and  execution.  Backed  by  an  effective  risk  management 
framework,  this  strategy  has  helped  the  Company  in 
improving  the  profi tability  of  its  project  business,  and 
generating  sustainable  margins.  Further,  its  presence  in 
almost all core sectors of the economy has had the effect of 
ring-fencing  it  from  the  vagaries  of  downturn  witnessed  by 
one or more of these sectors at any given point of time.

As part of an active business risk management, the Company 
has continued with its investment strategy in future growth 
avenues.  Its  investment  in  creating  a  shipbuilding-cum-port 
facility  as  also  a  new  yard  for  large  modular  fabrication, 
putting  up  its  heavy  forging  workshop,  and  establishing  its 
manufacturing bases for power auxiliaries will have its effect 
in  de-risking  the  Company  by  way  of  opening  up  newer 
vistas  of  business  opportunities  and  helping  strengthen  its 
position  of  pre-eminence  in  the  various  sectors  where  it 
operates.

International  business  development  and  execution  of 
projects  in  demanding  overseas  territories,  have  helped 
the  Company  and  its  project  team  reach  a  standard  of 
excellence  comparable  to  the  world  class.  In  this  process, 
the  Company  has  not  only  been  able  to  open  up  newer 
pastures of business to combat the risk of sagging prospects 
in  some  of  its  established  markets,  but  it  also  succeeded  in 
establishing  a  higher  benchmark  for  itself  and  its  people. 
It  is,  however,  ever  vigilant  to  ensure  that  its  property  and 
people  are  safe  in  the  various  foreign  jurisdictions  where  it 
operates.  A  process  of  country  clearance  is  followed,  as  a 
part  of  risk  management  discipline,  before  venturing  into 
any new country for the fi rst time.

The  risk  management  culture  in  the  Company  has  got  its 
roots fi rmly embedded into the various facets of its business 
decision-making.  The  risk  management  process  has  been 
focusing  more  on  risk  awareness,  risk  reward  relationships 
&  risk  enablement  and  not  on  encouraging  a  culture  of  risk 
aversion.

Internal Controls

Due  to  the  evolving  and  expanding  nature  of  its  business 
activities, the Company faces new challenges of data, system 
and  process  security,  emerging  out  of  business  transactions 
and  processes,  which  are  large  in  volume  and  varied  in 
nature. The company has an Internal Control mechanism to 
facilitate  formulation  and  revision  of  policies  and  guidelines 
in  order  to  align  them  with  changing  business  needs.  The 
areas  of  internal  control  weakness  in  business  and  fi nancial 
processes  are  identifi ed  through  a  regime  of  routine  checks 
and  remedial  actions  taken  to  correct  the  defi ciencies, 
wherever noticed.

The  Internal  control  policy  is  supported  by  other  well 
documented procedures and guidelines for specifi c areas of 
operation. The documents typically enlist a standard operating 
procedure along with responsibility and authority level matrix 
to ensure effective implementation of the same.

Increasing use of information technology in transaction and 
payment  processing,  has  its  associated  risks  of  fraud.  The 
Company  regularly  reviews  controls  in  areas  of  electronic 
fund  transfer  and  ensures  that  all  the  requisite  controls  are 
built-in.  Specifi c  guidelines  are  issued  mandating  additional 
controls  to  be  built,  wherever  gaps  are  observed  in  the 
process.

In  order  to  ensure  the  effi cacy  as  well  as  effi ciency  of  the 
process, the Risk Management & Internal Control processes 
are  periodically  audited  by  the  internal  audit  as  well  as  the 
statutory auditors. The Audit Committee of the Board is kept 
abreast on a regular basis, about the key observations during 
such audits, and follow-up measures taken.

III.   FINANCIAL RISKS

a)  Capital Structure, Liquidity and Interest rate risks

The  Company  continues  to  maintain  a  prudent  capital 
structure,  which  helps  in  better  managing  economic 
risks  and  positioning  for  growth.  The  Company  has 
consciously  followed  a  policy  of  moderate  fi nancial 
leverage, as it provides strength to the parent company 
balance sheet and contributes to maintaining a healthy 
credit  profi le.  It  also  provides  fl exibility  for  future  fund 
raising options, which is especially important in volatile 
global markets.

The  Company  maintains  adequate 
comfortable 
levels  of  liquidity,  judiciously  deployed  into  short 
term  investments  in  line  with  its  treasury  policy.

The Company also regularly assesses and ensures other 
means of sourcing liquidity, such as ready lines with the 
banking  system  and  quick  access  to  capital  markets. 
The  Company  regularly  evaluates  the  required  levels 
of  liquidity  in  line  with  business  needs  and  economic 
factors.  As  an  initiative  towards  managing  liquidity 
and  interest  rate  risks,  the  Company  issued  innovative 
debentures  which  tie  in  the  interest  rates  but  provide 
funds  at  a  future  point  of  time.  To  manage  interest 
rate  risks,  the  Company  uses  a  mix  of  fund-raising 
and  investment  products  across  maturity  profi les,  and 
through  various  tools  approved  under  a  robust  risk 
management framework.

b)  Foreign Exchange and Commodity Price Risks

The  Company  is  exposed  to  changes  in  foreign 
exchange  rates  and  commodity  prices  across 
its 
various  business  segments.  It  also  has  exposures  to 
foreign  currency  denominated  fi nancial  assets  and 
liabilities.  The  business  related  fi nancial  risks  are  to  a 
reasonable  extent,  especially  in  case  of  commodities, 
managed  contractually  by  inclusion  of  price  pass 
through  or  variations  clauses.  The  Company’s  loan 
portfolio  is  managed  both  by  choice  of  loan  currency 
and by contracting appropriate treasury products, with 
a  view  to  balancing  risks  while  optimising  borrowing 
costs.  Appropriate  hedging  tools  are  used  under  the 
framework  of  a  Board  approved  Risk  Management 
Policy.  Financial  risks  in  each  business  portfolio  are 
reviewed  periodically  and  managed  concurrently.  The 
process is also subject to an annual review by the Audit 
Committee.

IV.   LEVERAGING 

IT 

FOR  BUSINESS  BENEFITS; 

OPTIMISING IT COSTS

Every business activity and process is well-supported through 
appropriate  Information  Technology  systems  to  increase 
effi ciency and employee productivity. The investments made 
consistently  over  the  years,  provide  the  Company  with  a 
robust  IT  Infrastructure  backbone  supported  by  ERP  and 
other applications used in various businesses. The Information 
Technology function has the twin objective of “Running IT” 
at  the  most  optimum  cost  with  excellent  support,  security 
and  reliability  and  also  “Leveraging  IT”  by  development 
and  deployment  of  new  solutions  that  provide  competitive 
advantage  to  the  businesses.  A  number  of  initiatives  and 
projects  are  being  executed  on  an  on-going  basis  in  both 
these  areas.  Implementation  of  IT  solutions  for  the  new

locations,  taking  communication  between  senior  executives 
to a new level thereby increasing effi ciency, communication 
effectiveness and saving in travel costs and time.

and  project  locations.  “Zero  Discharge  approach”  has  been 
adopted at manufacturing locations leading to reduction of 
fresh water consumption at fi ve of our locations, which are 
now  zero  discharge  campuses.  This  was  achieved  through 
implementation  of  principle  3R’s  i.e.  Reduce,  Reuse  and 
Recycle.  Remaining  locations  are  progressing  on  the  same 
path.

In keeping with current trends, an enterprise social computing 
portal  incorporating  the  latest  web  2.0  technologies  and 
concepts  has  been  launched  in  the  Company  to  enhance 
communication  and  collaboration  to  tap  the  creativity  and 
innovation of the younger workforce.

Energy  conservation  has  been  identifi ed  as  one  of  the  key 
initiatives  in  L&T’s  operations.  Targets  related  to  energy 
conservation included:

- 

Conducting  energy  audit  at  all  manufacturing  and

V.   CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES

The  Company  acknowledges  its  responsibility  of  playing  an 
instrumental  role  in  environment  protection,  and  building 
social equity to safeguard interests of our future generations, 
which  are  some  of  the  major  challenges  of  today.  It  has 
put  in  place  an  active  organisation  structure  to  address  the 
social  and  environmental  challenges  effectively  and  ensure 
that  the  commitment  to  conduct  business  with  an  innate 
sense of responsibility is disseminated at all the levels within 
the Company. The emphasis is not only on increasing profi ts 
but  also  improving  the  effi ciency  of  business  processes  to 
minimise the environmental and social cost.

identify 
The  Company  has  a  structured  system 
environmental and social issues at various stages of business 
planning  and  execution  so  that  effective  mitigation  plan  is 
developed  and  negative  environmental  and  social  impacts 
avoided for new projects as well as for existing plants.

to 

It is well appreciated in the Company that uncontrolled use 
of  natural  resources  such  as  water  and  energy  will  lead  to 
irreversible damages to the environment, affecting the well-
being of our future generations. It has accordingly undertaken 
several initiatives to conserve water at its manufacturing units 

-  Monitoring and conserving energy

- 

Developing  location  wise  roadmap  for  increasing  the 
use of renewable energy

Process  optimisation,  process  re-engineering,  conversion 
and  retrofi tting  of  equipment,  change  in  schedule  and 
rationalisation of lighting patterns were some of the energy 
conservation initiatives which have been implemented at L&T’s 
manufacturing locations. An energy conservation culture has 
been effectively promoted among its stakeholders.

Occupational  Health  and  Safety  continues  to  be  an 
unremitting  focus  area.  The  Company’s  safety  strategy  is 
to  nurture  a  ‘zero  accident’  culture  and  to  reinforce  it  with 
fail-safe  procedures,  the  best  protective  gear,  continuous 
training and vigilant inspection.

The  Company’s  Corporate  Social  Initiatives  (CSI)  cell  works 
closely  with  community  leaders  and  local  NGOs  to  assess 
pressing community needs and enable in evolving long term 
solutions to their needs. The CSI Cell based in Mumbai acts 
as an apex body to bring in consistency and to extend as well 
as expand community initiatives across various locations.

As  an  Engineering  and  Construction  industry  leader,  the 
Company is committed to conserve resources and help create 
infrastructure & buildings that give better service to the users. 
Collaborating  with  leading  institutes,  L&T  manufactures 
products  that  are  affordable  and  energy  intelligent,  thereby 
helping businesses to achieve more sustainable result.

Business Environment

The  year  witnessed  improved  demand  and  signs  of 
recovery in major global markets, thereby provided newer 
opportunities in the IT sector. The clients increased their 
discretionary  spending  and  service  providers  continued 
to  reinvent  value  propositions.  As  per  NASSCOM 
estimates, the Indian IT-BPO export market is expected 
to grow by 16%-17% in the coming year with total IT 
industry revenues are expected to touch $ 69 billion.

The  IT  industry  continues  to  face  challenges  such  as 
shifting  of  focus  of  clients  from  basic  outsourcing  for 
cost  arbitrage,  to  high-end  business  transformational 
projects, continued pressure from protectionist measures 
and uncertainty & volatility in global markets.

L&T Infotech - Vertical wise Revenues 2010-2011

The  export  business  continues  to  be  predominantly 
North  America  based,  the  contribution  being  68%  for 
2010-2011.  Europe  &  Asia-Pacifi c  contributed  15% 
and 7% respectively, while contribution of Middle East 
&  Africa  declined  to  3%.  Onsite  services  contributed

Outlook

The new opportunities unfolding in the IT sector require 
the  industry  to  focus  more  on  innovation  and  newer 
models  of  growth.  The  future  will  be  centered  on  the 
ecosystem  created  by  the  confl uence  of  technologies 
such  as  virtualisation,  tele-presence  and  machine-
to-machine  communication.  Technologies  like  cloud 
computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) model will 
drive  the  largest  amount  of  spending  in  the  software 
industry over the next few years.

L&T Infotech has taken several initiatives to be ready for 
these new opportunities:

•

• 

• 

Focus  on  technology  footprint  expansion  into 
Analytics,  Mobile  BI  and  DW  appliances  and

growth momentum in the medium term.

December 

During 
2010, 
TAMCO  group  has  secured  orders  amounting  to
`  685  crore  as  against  `  651  crore  in  2009.  Group 
sales  for  2010  stood  at  `  635  crore  as  against
`  707  crore  for  previous  year.  Profi t  after  tax  of 
TAMCO  group  of  companies  stood  at    `  81  crore  in 
2010  as  against  `  79  crore  in  2009.  The  reduction 
in  sales  is  mainly  attributed  to  the  slow  off-take 
of  orders  from  Middle  East  and  Gulf  market.  Sales 
in  Australia  increased  from  `  60  crore  in  2009  to 
`  80  crore  in  2010  while  the  revenue  in  Indonesia 
increased  from  `  16  crore  in  2009  to  `  23  crore  in 
2010. 

Outlook

Malaysian  economy  shows  signs  of  recovery  and  the 
GDP  is  expected  to  grow  at  6%.  The  market  is  also 
expanding in Australia as major Utility companies have 
registered  TAMCO  as  their  suppliers  for  MV  products. 
The  Company  intends  to  penetrate  new  markets 
in  South  East  Asia,  North  Africa,  East  Africa  &  UK 
and  develop  new  products  through  its  Research  and 
Development activities. The Company intends to invest 
`  30  crore  towards  development  of  new  products  for 
the  year  2011  in  order  to  expand  its  market  reach. 
TAMCO  products  have  been  introduced  in  the  Indian 
market.  Localisation  of  its  product  range  coupled  with 
L&T’s  low  voltage  range  would  provide  ample  market 
potential.

of  `  1491  crore  registering  24%  growth.  Profi t  after

venture  between  L&T  and  Kobe  Steel,  Ltd.  of  Japan 
for  the  manufacture  of  Internal  Mixers  and  Twin

in  turn,  is  dependent  on  automotive  and  mobile 
equipment  markets.  Both  these  markets  are  currently 
growing  at  over  20%  per  annum  and  most  tyre 
manufacturers  are  setting  up  new  tyre  manufacturing 
facilities, thus facilitating demand for mixers and TSRs. 
With  limited  players  in  the  market  producing  these 
machines,  the  growth  opportunities  for  the  Company 
are good.

Schedule Q

Signifi cant Accounting Policies 

1. 

Basis of accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following the historical cost convention in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles [“GAAP”] except for the revaluation of certain fi xed assets in compliance with the provisions of the Companies 
Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards as specifi ed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006 prescribed by the Central 
Government. 

The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that the management of the Company makes estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets and liabilities and 
the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the fi nancial statements. Examples of such estimates include the useful 
lives of tangible and intangible fi xed assets, provision for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefi t 
plans, etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

2. 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised based on nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty 
of its recovery.
a) 

Sales & Service

i) 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

Sales  and  service  include  excise  duty  and  adjustments  made  towards  liquidated  damages  and  price  variation,  wherever 
applicable.  Escalation  and  other  claims,  which  are  not  ascertainable/acknowledged  by  customers,  are  not  taken  into 
account.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer 
under the terms of the contract.

Revenue from property development activity is recognised when all signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership in the land 
and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from 
the customer exists. 

Revenue from construction /project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment 
is recognised as follows:

a) 

b) 

c) 

Cost  plus  contracts:  Contract  revenue  is  determined  by  adding  the  aggregate  cost  plus  proportionate  margin  as 
agreed with the customer.

Fixed  price  contracts  received  up  to  March  31,  2003:  Contract  revenue  is  recognised  by  applying  percentage  of 
completion to the contract value. Percentage of completion is determined as follows:

(i) 

(ii) 

in the case of item rate contracts, as a proportion of the progress billing to contract value; and 

in the case of other contracts, as a proportion of the cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated cost

Fixed price contracts received on or after April 1, 2003: Contract revenue represents the cost of work performed on 
the  contract  plus  proportionate  margin,  using  the  percentage  of  completion  method.  Percentage  of  completion  is 
determined as a proportion of cost of work performed to-date to the total estimated contract costs.

Government  subsidy  related  to  customer  contracts  is  recognised  as  revenue  from  operations  in  the  Profi t  and  Loss 
Account, on a prudent basis, in proportion to work completed when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions 
for the grant of subsidy will be fulfi lled.

Expected loss, if any, on the construction/project related activity is recognised as an expense in the period in which 
it is foreseen, irrespective of the stage of completion of the contract. While determining the amount of foreseeable 
loss, all elements of costs and related incidental income not included in contract revenue is taken into consideration. 
Construction and project related work-in-progress is refl ected at cost till such time the outcome of the job cannot be 
ascertained reliably and at realisable value thereafter.

v) 

Revenues from construction/project related activity and contracts executed in joint ventures under work-sharing arrangement 
[being  jointly  controlled  operations,  in  terms  of  Accounting  Standard  (AS)  27  “Financial  Reporting  of  Interests  in  Joint 
Ventures”], are recognised on the same basis as similar contracts independently executed by the Company.

vi) 

Revenue from service related activities is recognised using the proportionate completion method.

vii)  Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfi lled.

viii)  Revenue from engineering and service fees is recognised as per the terms of the contract.

b) 

Profi t/loss on contracts executed by integrated joint ventures under profi t-sharing arrangement [being jointly controlled entities, 
in terms of Accounting Standard (AS) 27 “Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures”] is accounted as and when the same 
is determined by the joint venture. Revenue from services rendered to such joint ventures is accounted on accrual basis.

right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract. 
Interest income is accrued at applicable interest rate.
Dividend  income  is  accounted  when  the  right  to  receive  the  same  is  established.  Dividends  declared  by  subsidiary  companies 
after the date of the Company’s Balance Sheet are also recognised if they are in respect of accounting periods which closed on 
or before the date of the Company’s Balance Sheet.
Other  Government  grants,  which  are  revenue  in  nature  and  are  intended  to  compensate  the  related  costs,  are  recognised  as 
income in the profi t and loss account to match such costs, as and when incurred.

g)  Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises.

Extraordinary and exceptional items

Income  or  expenses  that  arise  from  events  or  transactions  that  are  clearly  distinct  from  the  ordinary  activities  of  the  Company  are 
classifi ed  as  extraordinary  items.  Specifi c  disclosure  of  such  events/transactions  is  made  in  the  fi nancial  statements.  Similarly,  any 
external  event  beyond  the  control  of  the  Company,  signifi cantly  impacting  income  or  expense,  is  also  treated  as  extraordinary  item 
and disclosed as such.
On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company, 
is such that its disclosure improves an understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classifi ed as an 
exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in the notes to accounts [Note no.10].

Research and development

a) 
Revenue expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.
b)  Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i) 
ii) 
iii) 
iv) 

v) 

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 
The Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
The  manner  in  which  the  probable  future  economic  benefi ts  will  be  generated  including  the  existence  of  a  market  for 
output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible assets;
The  availability  of  adequate  technical,  fi nancial  and  other  resources  to  complete  the  development  and  to  use  or  sell  the 
intangible asset; and
The Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably.

vi) 
The development expenditure capitalised as intangible asset is amortised over its useful life.
Other development costs that do not meet above criteria are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Capital expenditure on research and development is classifi ed under tangible/intangible assets and depreciated on the same basis 
as other fi xed assets.

Employee benefi ts

Short term employee benefi ts
All  employee  benefi ts  falling  due  wholly  within  twelve  months  of  rendering  the  service  are  classifi ed  as  short  term  employee 
benefi ts. The benefi ts like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are 
recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service. 
Post-employment benefi ts
i) 

Defi ned  contribution  plans:  The  Company’s  superannuation  scheme,  state  governed  provident  fund  scheme,  employee 
state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defi ned contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under 
the schemes is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Defi ned  benefi t  plans:  The  employees  gratuity  fund  schemes,  post-retirement  medical  care  scheme,  pension  scheme  and 
provident fund scheme managed by trust are the Company’s defi ned benefi t plans. Wherever applicable, the present value 
of  the  obligation  under  such  defi ned  benefi t  plans  is  determined  based  on  actuarial  valuation  using  the  Projected  Unit 
Credit  Method,  which  recognises  each  period  of  service  as  giving  rise  to  additional  unit  of  employee  benefi t  entitlement 
and measures each unit separately to build up the fi nal obligation. 
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows. The discount rate used for determining 
the present value of the obligation under defi ned benefi t plans, is based on the market yield on government securities of a 
maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profi le of the related obligations at the balance sheet date. 
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Profi t & Loss Account. 

ii) 

The  interest  element  implicit  in  the  actuarial  valuation  of  defi ned  benefi t  plans  is  classifi ed  under  interest  expense  and 
balance charge is recognised as employee benefi ts in the Profi t and Loss Account.

In  case  of  funded  plans,  the  fair  value  of  the  plan  assets  is  reduced  from  the  gross  obligation  under  the  defi ned  benefi t 
plans to recognise the obligation on the net basis.
Gains  or  losses  on  the  curtailment  or  settlement  of  any  defi ned  benefi t  plan  are  recognised  when  the  curtailment  or 
settlement  occurs.  Past  service  cost  is  recognised  as  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  average  period  until  the 
benefi ts become vested.
Long term employee benefi ts
The obligation for long term employee benefi ts such as long term compensated absences, long service award etc is recognised 
in the similar manner as in the case of defi ned benefi t plans as mentioned in (b)(ii) above.
Termination benefi ts
Termination benefi ts such as compensation under voluntary retirement cum pension scheme is amortised over a defi ned period.
The defi ned period of amortisation is fi ve years or the period till March 31, 2010, whichever is earlier.

of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between 
the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each 
period.
Assets given under a fi nance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. 
Lease income is recognised over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in 
the lease.
Initial direct costs relating to assets given on fi nance leases are charged to Profi t and Loss Account.

revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.

10. 

Impairment of assets

the provision for impairment loss, if any; and
the reversal of impairment loss recognised in previous periods, if any,

As at each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested for impairment so as to determine:
a)

in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use;
in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identifi ed, independent cash fl ows), at the higher of the 
cash generating unit’s net selling price and the value in use.

(Value  in  use  is  determined  as  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  fl ows  from  the  continuing  use  of  an  asset  and  from  its 
disposal at the end of its useful life.)

11. 

Investments

Long term investments including interests in incorporated jointly controlled entities, are carried at cost, after providing for any diminution 
in value, if such diminution is ”other than temporary” in nature. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. The

14.  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of cost 
of  such  asset  till  such  time  as  the  asset  is  ready  for  its  intended  use  or  sale.  A  qualifying  asset  is  an  asset  that  necessarily  requires 
a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the

 The reporting currency of the Company is Indian rupee.
 Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency, using the exchange rate at the date of 
the transaction. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary 
items,  carried  at  historical  cost  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency,  are  reported  using  the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  of  the 
transaction.
Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date 
at the closing rate are: 
i) 

adjusted in the cost of fi xed assets specifi cally fi nanced by the borrowings contracted up to March 31, 2004 to which the

 Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted prior to April 1, 2004, are translated as follows:
i) 
ii) 

Closing inventories at rates prevailing at the end of the year
Fixed assets as at April 1, 1991 at rates prevailing at the end of the year in which the additions were made. Subsequent 
additions  are  at  rates  prevailing  on  the  dates  of  the  additions.  Depreciation  is  accounted  at  the  same  rate  at  which  the 
assets are translated.

ii) 

iii)  Other assets and liabilities at rates prevailing at the end of the year.
iv)  Net revenues at the average rate for the year.
 Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted on or after April 1, 2004, are treated as integral operations 
and translated as in the same manner as foreign currency transactions, as described above. Exchange differences arising on such 
translation are recognised as income or expense of the period in which they arise.
 Forward  contracts,  other  than  those  entered  into  to  hedge  foreign  currency  risk  on  unexecuted  fi rm  commitments  or  highly 
probable forecast transactions, are treated as foreign currency transactions and accounted accordingly as per Accounting Standard 
(AS) 11[“The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”]. Exchange differences arising on such contracts are recognised in 
the period in which they arise. 
Gains and losses arising on account of roll over/cancellation of forward contracts are recognised as income/expense of the period 
in which such roll over/cancellation takes place. 
 All the other derivative contracts, including forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks on unexecuted fi rm 
commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the fi nancial statements at fair value as on the Balance 
Sheet date, in pursuance of the announcement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) dated March 29, 2008 
on accounting of derivatives. The Company has adopted Accounting Standard (AS) 30 [“Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement”]  for  accounting  of  such  derivative  contracts,  not  covered  under  Accounting  Standard  (AS)  11  [“The  Effects  of 
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”], as mandated by the ICAI in the aforesaid announcement. 
Accordingly,  the  resultant  gains  or  losses  on  fair  valuation/settlement  of  the  derivative  contracts  covered  under  Accounting 
Standard  (AS)  30  [“Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement”]  are  recognised  in  the  Profi t  and  Loss  Account  or 
Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge effectiveness. Where the hedge is effective, the gains or losses 
are recognised in the “Hedging Reserve” which forms part of “Reserves and Surplus” in the Balance Sheet, while the same is 
recognised  in  the  Profi t  and  Loss  Account  where  the  hedge  is  ineffective.The  amount  recognised  in  the  “Hedging  Reserve”  is 
transferred to Profi t and Loss Account in the period in which the underlying hedged item affects the Profi t and Loss Account. 
The  premium  paid/received  on  a  foreign  currency  forward  contract  is  accounted  as  expense/income  over  the  period  of  the 
contract.

17.  Segment accounting

 Segment accounting policies
Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. In addition, the following specifi c accounting 
policies have been followed for segment reporting:
i) 

Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifi able with/allocable to the segment including inter segment 
revenue.
Expenses  that  are  directly  identifi able  with/allocable  to  segments  are  considered  for  determining  the  segment  result. 
Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under “unallocable corporate 
expenditure.” 
Income  which  relates  to  the  Company  as  a  whole  and  not  allocable  to  segments  is  included  in  “unallocable  corporate 
income”.

Company.
Segment  assets  and  liabilities  include  those  directly  identifi able  with  the  respective  segments.  Unallocable  corporate 
assets  and  liabilities  represent  the  assets  and  liabilities  that  relate  to  the  Company  as  a  whole  and  not  allocable  to  any 
segment. 

b) 

Inter-segment transfer pricing
Segment  revenue  resulting  from  transactions  with  other  business  segments  is  accounted  on  the  basis  of  transfer  price  agreed 
between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis. 

18.  Taxes on income 

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the 
provisions of the Income Tax Act 1961, and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.
Deferred  tax  is  recognised  on  timing  differences  between  the  income  accounted  in  fi nancial  statements  and  the  taxable  income  for 
the year, and quantifi ed using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred  tax  assets  relating  to  unabsorbed  depreciation/business  losses  /losses  under  the  head  “capital  gains“  are  recognised  and 
carried forward to the extent there is virtual certainty that suffi cient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred 
tax assets can be realised.
Other  deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  and  carried  forward  to  the  extent  that  there  is  a  reasonable  certainty  that  suffi cient  future 
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

19.  Accounting for interests in joint ventures

Interests in joint ventures are accounted as follows:

Extraordinary item during the year represents proportionate reversal of ` 70.84 crore (previous year: ` 62.55 crore), out of the provision 
made in earlier years in respect of the Company’s investment in shares of Satyam Computer Services Limited (SCSL), pursuant to sale 
of a part of its holding in SCSL during the year.

10.  Other income for the year ended March 31, 2011 includes the following items of exceptional nature [accounting policy no.3]:

a) 

Profi t of ` 25.00 crore on sale of the Company’s part stake in Kesun Iron & Steel Company Private Limited, a subsidiary of the 
Company to a strategic partner.

b)  Gain of ` 213.04 crore on sale of the Company’s entire stake in L&T-Case Equipment Private Limited, an associate company.

c) 

Part reversal of provision of ` 24.03 crore made in the earlier years for diminution in the value of investment in the International 
Seaport Dredging Limited, pursuant to divestment of the Company’s part stake in the said company. 

11.   The  cost  of  specialised  machine  tools  including  jigs,  fi xtures,  dyes,  gauges  and  moulds  used  in  the  production  in  Electrical  and 
Electronics business was expensed out in earlier years. These items of plant & machinery have a useful life of 5 years. During the year, 
the  cost  of  such  tools,  where  useful  life  has  not  expired,  has  been  capitalized.  The  amount  expensed  out  in  earlier  years  in  respect 
of  such  tools  has  been  reversed  during  the  year  and  accordingly,  the  expense  under  “Stores,  spares  and  tools”  is  lower  by  `  77.32 
crore. Similarly, the cumulative depreciation based on useful life of such tools has been provided in the books during the year and as 
a result, the depreciation for the year is higher by ` 51.08 crore.

12.   The  expenditure  on  research  and  development  activities,  as  certifi ed  by  the  management,  is  `  108.98  crore  (previous  year:  `  91.54 

crore). This includes capital expenditure

(a)   on tangible assets of ` 16.67 crore (previous year: ` 5.56 crore); 

(b)   on  intangible  assets  being  expenditure  on  new  product  development  of  `  22.72  crore  (previous  year:  `  nil)  [accounting  policy 

no.4(b)]; and 

(c)   on other intangible assets of ` 1.33 crore (previous year: ` nil). 

In addition, the Company has carried out work of a developmental nature of ` 16.46 crore (previous year: ` nil) which is partially/fully 
paid for by the customers.

13.   a) 

The  useful  life  of  certain  tangible  assets  was  revised  downward  during  the  year  as  mandated  by  Accounting  Standard  (AS)  6 
“Depreciation  Accounting”  and  permitted  by  Schedule  XIV  of  Companies  Act.  Consequently,  depreciation  rates  have  been 
revised upward resulting in additional charge of depreciation of ` 43.00 crore. As a result, profi t before tax for the year is lower 
to that extent. [accounting policy no.8a(ii)]

b) 

The  Company  has  reviewed  the  useful  life  of  certain  intangible  assets  during  the  year.  Consequently,  amortisation  rates  have 
been revised resulting in lower charge of amortisation of ` 3.69 crore. As a result, profi t before tax for the year is higher to that 
extent. (accounting policy no.9)

Basis used to determine the overall expected return:
The trust formed by the Company manages the investments of provident funds and gratuity fund. Expected return on plan 
assets  is  determined  based  on  the  assessment  made  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  on  the  return  expected  on  its  existing 
portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in the portfolio 
during the year. Refer note no. 14(ii)(f)(7) below.
The  Company  expects  to  fund  `  27.11  crore  (previous  year:  `  40.61  crore)  towards  its  gratuity  plan  and  `  78.63  crore 
(previous year: ` 65.56 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2011-2012.

The  estimates  of  future  salary  increases,  considered  in  actuarial  valuation,  take  into  account  infl ation,  seniority, 
promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market. 

The interest payment obligation of trust-managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the interest 
income  on  long  term  investments  of  the  fund.  Any  shortfall  in  the  interest  income  over  the  interest  obligation  is 
recognised immediately in the Profi t and Loss Account as actuarial losses. 

The obligation of the Company under the post-retirement medical benefi t plan is limited to the overall ceiling limits. 
At  present,  healthcare  cost,  as  indicated  in  the  principal  actuarial  assumption  given  above,  has  been  assumed  to 
increase at 5% p.a.

 h)  General descriptions of defi ned benefi t plans:

1.  Gratuity plan:

The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefi t equivalent to 
fi fteen  days  salary  last  drawn  for  each  completed  year  of  service.  The  same  is  payable  on  termination  of  service  or 
retirement whichever is earlier. The benefi t vests after fi ve years of continuous service. The company’s scheme is more 
favourable  as  compared  to  the  obligation  under  Payment  of  Gratuity  Act,  1972.  A  small  part  of  the  gratuity  plan, 
which is not material is unfunded and managed within the Company.

2. 

Post-retirement medical care plan:

The  Post-retirement  medical  benefi t  plan  provides  for  reimbursement  of  health  care  costs  to  certain  categories  of 
employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of the 
employee at the time of retirement.

3. 

Company’s pension plan:

In  addition  to  contribution  to  state-managed  pension  plan  (EPS  scheme),  the  Company  operates  a  post  retirement 
pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends 
on the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement.

4. 

Trust managed provident fund plan:

The  Company  manages  provident  fund  plan  through  a  provident  fund  trust  for  its  employees  which  is  permitted 
under the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan envisages contribution by employer and 
employees and guarantees interest at the rate notifi ed by the provident fund authority. The contribution by employer 
and  employee  together  with  interest  are  payable  at  the  time  of  separation  from  service  or  retirement  whichever  is 
earlier. The benefi t under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.

15  Uncalled liability on shares partly paid is ` nil net of advance paid against equity commitment (previous year: ` 36.62 crore).

Consolidated Financial Statements 2010-2011

Auditors’ report to the Board of Directors of Larsen & Toubro Limited on 
consolidated fi nancial statements

We have examined the attached Consolidated Balance Sheet of Larsen & Toubro Limited and its subsidiaries, associates and 
joint ventures (the L&T Group) as at March 31, 2011 and also the Consolidated Profi t and Loss Account and the Consolidated 
Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto. These fi nancial statements are the responsibility of 
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally  accepted  in  India.  Those  standards  require  that 
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are prepared, in all 
material  respects,  in  accordance  with  an  identifi ed  fi nancial  reporting  framework  and  are  free  of  material  misstatements. 
An  audit  includes  examining,  on  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  fi nancial  statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall fi nancial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In respect of the fi nancial statements of a subsidiary, we carried out the audit jointly with other auditor. The details of assets 
and revenues in respect of the subsidiary to the extent to which they are refl ected in the consolidated fi nancial statements 
are given below:

Jointly audited:

In  respect  of  the  fi nancial  statements  of  certain  subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  ventures,  we  did  not  carry  out  the  audit. 
These fi nancial statements have been audited/reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our 
opinion,  insofar  as  it  relates  to  the  amounts  included  in  respect  of  the  subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  ventures  is  based 
solely  on  the  reports  of  the  other  auditors.  The  details  of  assets  and  revenues  in  respect  of  these  subsidiaries  and  joint 
ventures and the net carrying cost of investment and current year/period share of profi t or loss in respect of these associates, 
to the extent to which they are refl ected in the consolidated fi nancial statements are given below:

We further report that in respect of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, we did not carry out the audit. These 
fi nancial  statements  have  been  certifi ed  by  management  and  have  been  furnished  to  us,  and  in  our  opinion,  insofar  as  it 
relates to the amounts included in respect of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, are based solely on these certifi ed 
fi nancial statements.

Since,  the  fi nancial  statements  for  the  fi nancial  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  which  were  compiled  by  management  of 
these  companies,  were  not  audited,  any  adjustments  to  their  balances  could  have  consequential  effects  on  the  attached 
consolidated fi nancial statements. However, the size of these subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, in the consolidated 
position  is  not  signifi cant  in  relative  terms.  The  details  of  assets  and  revenues  in  respect  of  these  subsidiaries  and  joint

requirements of the Accounting Standard (AS) 21, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, (AS) 23, ‘Accounting for Investments 
in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements’ and (AS) 27, ‘Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures’ notifi ed 
by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and on the basis of the separate audited/certifi ed fi nancial statements 
of the L&T Group included in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

We report that on the basis of the information and according to the explanations given to us, and on the consideration of 
the separate audit report on individual audited fi nancial statements of the L&T Group, we are of the opinion that the said 
consolidated  fi nancial  statements,  read  together  with  signifi cant  accounting  policies  in  schedule  Q  and  notes  appearing 
thereon, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

the year ended on that date; and

ended on that date.

Signifi cant Accounting Policies 

1. 

Basis of accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following the historical cost convention in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting  principles  [“GAAP”]  except  for  the  revaluation  of  certain  fi xed  assets,  and  in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  the 
Companies Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards as specifi ed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, prescribed by 
the Central Government.

The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that the management of the Company makes estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets and liabilities and 
the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the fi nancial statements. Examples of such estimates include the useful 
lives of tangible and intangible fi xed assets, provision for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefi t 
plans, etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates, is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

The  accounts  of  Indian  subsidiaries,  joint  ventures  and  associates  have  been  prepared  in  compliance  with  the  Accounting  Standards 
as specifi ed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, prescribed by the Central Government, and those of the foreign 
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates have been prepared in compliance with the local laws and applicable accounting standards. 
Necessary  adjustments  for  differences  in  the  accounting  policies,  wherever  applicable,  have  been  made  in  the  consolidated  fi nancial 
statements.

2. 

Revenue recognition

Revenue  is  recognised  based  on  the  nature  of  activity  when  consideration  can  be  reasonably  measured  and  there  exists  reasonable 
certainty of its recovery.

a) 

Sales and service

i) 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

Sales  and  service  include  excise  duty  and  adjustments  made  towards  liquidated  damages  and  price  variation  wherever 
applicable.  Escalation  and  other  claims,  which  are  not  ascertainable/acknowledged  by  customers,  are  not  taken  into 
account.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer 
under the terms of the contract.

Revenue from property development activity is recognised when all signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership in the land 
and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from 
the customer exists.

Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment 
is recognised as follows:

a) 

b) 

c) 

Cost  plus  contracts:  Contract  revenue  is  determined  by  adding  the  aggregate  cost  plus  proportionate  margin  as 
agreed with the customer.

Fixed  price  contracts  received  up  to  March  31,  2003:  Contract  revenue  is  recognised  by  applying  percentage  of 
completion to the contract value. Percentage of completion is determined as follows:

I) 

II) 

in the case of item rate contracts, as a proportion of the progress billing to contract value; and

in the case of other contracts, as a proportion of the cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated cost.

Fixed price contracts received on or after April 1, 2003: Contract revenue represents the cost of work performed on 
the  contract  plus  proportionate  margin,  using  the  percentage  of  completion  method.  Percentage  of  completion  is 
determined as a proportion of cost of work performed to-date to the total estimated contract costs.

Government  subsidy  related  to  customer  contracts  is  recognised  as  revenue  from  operations  in  the  Profi t  and  Loss 
Account, on a prudent basis, in proportion to work completed when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions 
for the grant of subsidy will be fulfi lled.

Expected loss, if any, on the construction/project related activity is recognised as an expense in the period in which 
it is foreseen, irrespective of the stage of completion of the contract. While determining the amount of foreseeable 
loss, all elements of costs and related incidental income not included in contract revenue is taken into consideration. 
Construction and project related work-in-progress is refl ected at cost till such time the outcome of the job cannot be 
ascertained reliably and at realisable value thereafter.

v) 

Revenues from construction/project related activity and contracts executed in joint ventures under work-sharing arrangement 
[being  jointly  controlled  operations,  in  terms  of  Accounting  Standard  (AS)  27  “Financial  Reporting  of  Interests  in  Joint 
Ventures”], is recognised on the same basis as similar contracts independently executed by the Company.

period in which such variation occurs.

ix) 

x) 

xi) 

xii) 

xiii) 

Revenue  from  service  related  activities  is  recognised  using  either  the  proportionate  completion  method  or  completed 
contract method whichever is considered appropriate.

Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfi lled.

Revenue from engineering and service fees is recognised as per the terms of the contract.

Trusteeship fees are accounted on an accrual basis in accordance with the Trust Deed and are dependent on the net asset 
value as recorded by the respective mutual fund schemes.

Insurance Premium (net of service tax) is recognised as income over the contract period or period of risk, as appropriate, 
after  adjusting  for  unearned  premium  (unexpired  risk)  and  premium  defi ciency,  if  any.  Premium  defi ciency,  if  any,  is 
recognised  if  the  sum  of  expected  claim  costs  and  related  claim  management  costs  exceed  related  reserve  for  unexpired 
risk  for  every  line  of  business.  Reserve  for  unexpired  risk  is  recognized  net  of  reinsurance  ceded  and  represents  premium 
written  that  is  attributable  and  to  be  allocated  to  succeeding  accounting  periods  for  risks  to  be  borne  by  the  Company 
under contractual obligations on a contract period basis or risk period basis, whichever is appropriate. It is calculated on a 
daily pro-rata basis, written on policies during the twelve months preceding the Balance Sheet date for fi re, marine cargo 
and miscellaneous business (excluding Project related Engineering insurance contracts) and 100% for marine hull business, 
on  all  unexpired  policies  at  balance  sheet  date,  in  accordance  with  Section  64  V(1)(ii)(b)  of  the  Insurance  Act,  1938.  The 
reserve for unexpired risk is computed for project related engineering insurance contract through the usage of Cubic Curve 
Method. A reserve for unexpired risks is recorded at 50% per cent of the net premium retro-ceded to the Company from 
India Motor Third Party Insurance Pool (IMTPIP) during the year.

Reinsurance premium ceded is accounted in the year in which the risk commences and over the period of risk in accordance 
with  the  treaty  arrangements  with  the  reinsurers.  Reinsurance  premium  ceded  on  unearned  premium  is  carried  forward 
to  the  period  of  risk  and  is  set  off  against  related  unearned  premium.  Premium  on  excess  of  loss  reinsurance  cover  is 
accounted as per the terms of the reinsurance arrangements.

Commission on reinsurance ceded is recognized as income on ceding of reinsurance premium.

Profi t commission under re-insurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognized in the year of fi nal determination of the 
profi ts.

Claims incurred comprise claims paid, estimated liability for outstanding claims made following a loss occurrence reported 
and estimated liability for claims Incurred But Not Reported (‘IBNR’) and claims Incurred But Not Enough Reported (‘IBNER’). 
Further, claims incurred also include specifi c claim settlement costs such as survey/legal fees and other directly attributable 
costs.

Claims (net of amounts receivable from reinsurers/coinsurers) are recognised on the date of intimation based on estimates 
from surveyors/insured in the respective revenue accounts. Estimated liability for outstanding claims at Balance Sheet date 
is recorded net of claims recoverable from/payable to co-insurers/reinsurers and salvage to the extent there is certainty of 
realisation. Estimated liability for outstanding claims is determined by management on the basis of ultimate amounts likely 
to  be  paid  on  each  claim  based  on  the  past  experience.  These  estimates  are  progressively  revalidated  on  availability  of 
further information. IBNR represents that amount of claims that may have been incurred during the accounting period but 
have not been reported or claimed. The IBNR provision also includes provision, if any, required for claims IBNER. Estimated 
liability  for  claims  Incurred  But  Not  Reported  (‘IBNR’)  and  claims  Incurred  But  Not  Enough  Reported  (‘IBNER’)  is  based  on 
actuarial  estimate  duly  certifi ed  by  the  appointed  actuary  of  the  Company.  IBNR/IBNER  has  been  created  on  re-insurance 
accepted from Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool (IMTPIP) based on actuarial estimates received from the IMTPIP.

b) 

Profi t/Loss on contracts executed by Integrated Joint Ventures under profi t-sharing arrangement [being jointly controlled entities, 
in terms of Accounting Standard (AS) 27 “Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures”] is accounted as and when the same

Principles of consolidation

a) 

b) 

The  fi nancial  statements  of  the  Parent  Company  and  its  Subsidiaries  have  been  consolidated  on  a  line-by-line  basis  by  adding 
together the book values of the like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after eliminating intra-group balances and 
the  unrealised  profi ts/losses  on  intra-group  transactions,  and  are  presented  to  the  extent  possible,  in  the  same  manner  as  the 
Company’s independent fi nancial statements.

Investments  in  associate  companies  have  been  accounted  for,  by  using  equity  method  whereby  investment  is  initially  recorded 
at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted thereafter for post acquisition change in the Company’s share of net assets of the 
associate.  The  carrying  amount  of  investment  in  associate  companies  is  reduced  to  recognise  any  decline  which  is  other  than 
temporary in nature and such determination of decline in value, if any, is made for each investment individually.

c) 

The Company’s interests in joint ventures are consolidated as follows :

Type of joint venture

Accounting treatment

Jointly Controlled Operations

Company’s share of revenues, common expenses, assets and liabilities are included in revenues, 
expenses, assets and liabilities respectively.

Jointly Controlled Assets

Jointly Controlled Entities

Share  of  the  assets,  according  to  nature  of  the  assets,  and  share  of  the  liabilities  are  shown 
as part of gross block and liabilities respectively. Share of expenses incurred on maintenance 
of  the  assets  is  accounted  as  expense.  Monetary  benefi ts,  if  any,  from  use  of  the  assets  are 
refl ected as income.

The Company’s interest in Jointly Controlled Entities are proportionately consolidated on a line-
by  line  basis  by  adding  together  the  book  values  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses, 
after eliminating the unrealised profi ts/losses on intra-group transactions.

Joint venture interests accounted as above are included in the segments to which they relate.

4. 

Extraordinary and Exceptional items
Income  or  expenses  that  arise  from  events  or  transactions  that  are  clearly  distinct  from  the  ordinary  activities  of  the  Company  are 
classifi ed  as  extraordinary  items.  Specifi c  disclosure  of  such  events/transactions  is  made  in  the  fi nancial  statements.  Similarly,  any 
external  event  beyond  the  control  of  the  Company,  signifi cantly  impacting  income  or  expense,  is  also  treated  as  extraordinary  item 
and disclosed as such.
On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company, 
is such that its disclosure improves an understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classifi ed as an 
exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in the notes to accounts. [Note no.16(a)]

5. 

Research and development
a) 
Revenue expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.
b)  Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i) 
ii) 
iii) 
iv) 

v) 

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
The Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
The  manner  in  which  the  probable  future  economic  benefi ts  will  be  generated  including  the  existence  of  a  market  for 
output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible assets;
The  availability  of  adequate  technical,  fi nancial  and  other  resources  to  complete  the  development  and  to  use  or  sell  the 
intangible asset; and
The Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably.

vi) 
The development expenditure capitalized as intangible asset is amortised over its useful life.
Other development costs that do not meet above criteria are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Employee benefi ts

a) 

b) 

Short Term Employee Benefi ts
All  employee  benefi ts  falling  due  wholly  within  twelve  months  of  rendering  the  service  are  classifi ed  as  short  term  employee 
benefi ts. The benefi ts like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia, are 
recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Post-Employment Benefi ts
i) 

Defi ned  Contribution  Plans:  The  Company’s  superannuation  scheme,  state  governed  provident  fund  scheme,  insurance 
scheme and employee pension scheme are defi ned contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is 
recognized during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

ii)   Defi ned Benefi t Plans: The employees gratuity fund schemes, post-retirement medical care schemes, pension scheme and 
provident fund scheme managed by trust are the Company’s defi ned benefi t plans. Wherever applicable, the present value 
of  the  obligation  under  such  defi ned  benefi t  plans  is  determined  based  on  actuarial  valuation  using  the  Projected  Unit 
Credit  Method,  which  recognises  each  period  of  service  as  giving  rise  to  additional  unit  of  employee  benefi t  entitlement 
and measures each unit separately to build up the fi nal obligation.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows. The discount rate used for determining 
the present value of the obligation under defi ned benefi t plans, is based on the market yield on government securities, of a 
maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profi le of the related obligations at the Balance Sheet date.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Profi t and Loss Account.
The  interest  element  implicit  in  the  actuarial  valuation  of  defi ned  benefi t  plans  is  classifi ed  under  interest  expense  and 
balance charge is recognised as employee benefi ts in the Profi t and Loss Account.
In  case  of  funded  plans,  the  fair  value  of  the  plan  assets  is  reduced  from  the  gross  obligation  under  the  defi ned  benefi t 
plans to recognise the obligation on the net basis.
Gains  or  losses  on  the  curtailment  or  settlement  of  any  defi ned  benefi t  plan  are  recognised  when  the  curtailment  or 
settlement  occurs.  Past  service  cost  is  recognised  as  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  average  period  until  the 
benefi ts become vested.
Long Term Employee Benefi ts
The obligation for long term employee benefi ts such as long term compensated absences, long service award, etc. is recognised 
in the similar manner as in the case of defi ned benefi t plans as mentioned in (b) (ii) above.
Termination Benefi ts
Termination benefi ts such as compensation under voluntary retirement-cum-pension scheme is amortised over a defi ned period. 
The defi ned period of amortization is fi ve years or the period till March 31, 2010, whichever is earlier.

c)

7. 

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortisation 
and cumulative impairment. Fixed asset which were revalued as on October 1,1984 are stated at the values determined by the valuers 
less accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortisation and cumulative impairment. Assets acquired on hire purchase basis are stated 
at their cash values. Specifi c know-how fees paid, if any, relating to plant and machinery is treated as part of cost thereof.

Administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifi cally attributable to construction or acquisition of fi xed assets or 
bringing the fi xed assets to working condition are allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the fi xed assets.

Own manufactured assets are capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads.

(Also refer to policy on leases, borrowing costs, impairment of assets and foreign currency transactions, infra.)

8. 

Leases

The  determination  of  whether  an  agreement  is,  or  contains,  a  lease  is  based  on  the  substance  of  the  agreement  at  the  date  of 
inception.

a) 

Lease transactions entered into prior to April 1, 2001:

Assets leased out are stated at original cost. Lease equalisation adjustment is the difference between capital recovery included in

Schedule Q (contd.)

Finance leases:
i) 

Assets acquired under leases where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classifi ed as 
fi nance leases. Such assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value 
of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between 
the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each 
period. 
Assets given under leases where the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to lessee, 
are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Where under a contract, the Company has agreed to manufacture/construct an asset and 
convey, in substance, a right to the benefi ciary to use the asset over a major part of its economic life, for a pre-determined 
consideration, such arrangement is also accounted as fi nance lease.

iii)  Assets  given  under  a  fi nance  lease  are  recognised  as  a  receivable  at  an  amount  equal  to  the  net  investment  in  the 
lease. Wherever the asset is manufactured/constructed by the Company, the fair value of the asset, representing the net 
investment in the lease, is recognised as sales revenue in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Lease 
income  is  recognised  over  the  period  of  the  lease  so  as  to  yield  a  constant  rate  of  return  on  the  net  investment  in  the 
lease.
Initial direct costs relating to assets given on fi nance leases are charged to Profi t and Loss Account.

Assets acquired on leases where a signifi cant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are 
classifi ed as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the Profi t and Loss Account on accrual basis.
Assets  leased  out  under  operating  leases  are  capitalised.  Rental  income  is  recognised  on  accrual  basis  over  the  lease 
term.

Revalued Assets :
Depreciation is provided for based on straight line method on the values and at the rates given by the valuers. The 
difference between depreciation provided based on revalued amount and that on historical cost is transferred from 
revaluation reserve to Profi t and Loss Account.

b)   Assets carried at historical cost:

Depreciation  on  assets  carried  at  historical  cost  is  provided  on  the  written  down  value  basis  on  assets  acquired  up 
to  March  31,  1968  (at  the  rates  prescribed  under  Schedule  XIV  to  the  Companies  Act,  1956)  and  on  straight  line 
basis on assets acquired subsequently (at the rates prevailing at the time of their acquisition) on assets acquired up 
to  September  30,  1987.  For  the  assets  acquired  there  after,  depreciation  is  provided  at  the  rates  prescribed  under 
Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or at higher rates in line with the estimated useful lives of the assets.

c)   Depreciation  for  additions  to/deductions  from  owned  assets  is  calculated  pro-rata  from/to  the  month  of  additions/

deductions. Extra shift depreciation is provided on a location basis.
Depreciation  charge  for  impaired  assets  is  adjusted  in  future  periods  in  such  a  manner  that  the  revised  carrying 
amount of the asset is allocated over its remaining useful life.

Leased assets
a) 

Lease transactions entered into prior to April 1, 2001:
Lease  charge  comprising  statutory  depreciation  and  lease  equalisation  charge  is  provided  for  assets  given  on  lease 
over the primary period of the lease equal to recovery of net investment in the lease. Accordingly, while the statutory 
depreciation on such assets is provided for on straight line method as per Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, 
the difference is adjusted through lease equalisation and lease adjustment account.
Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:
Assets  acquired  under  fi nance  leases  are  depreciated  on  a  straight  line  method  over  the  lease  term.  Where  there 
is  reasonable  certainty  that  the  Company  shall  obtain  ownership  of  the  assets  at  the  end  of  the  lease  term,  such 
assets are depreciated at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or at the higher rates 
adopted by the Company for similar assets.

Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible  assets  are  recognised  when  it  is  probable  that  the  future  economic  benefi ts  that  are  attributable  to  the  asset  will  fl ow  to 
the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised as follows:

a) 

b) 

c) 

d) 

e) 

f) 

g) 

 Leasehold land: Over the period of lease.

 Specialised software: Over a period of three to ten years.

Lump sum fees for technical know-how: Over a period of three to seven years.

 Trade-marks: over a period of fi ve years.

Development costs for new products: Over a period fi ve years

Customer Contracts and relationship: Over a period of ten years

 Toll  collection  rights  obtained  in  consideration  for  rendering  construction  services  represent  the  right  to  collect  toll  revenue 
during the concession period in respect of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects undertaken by the group. Toll collection rights 
are capitalized as intangible asset upon completion of the project at the cumulative construction costs including related margins 
(refer  accounting  policy  on  revenue  recognition  above)  plus  obligation  towards  negative  grants  payable  to  National  Highway 
Authority  of  India  (NHAI),  if  any.  Till  the  completion  of  the  project,  the  same  is  recognised  as  capital  work-in-progress.  Toll 
collection rights are amortised over the period of rights given under the concession agreement.

Administrative  and  other  general  overhead  expenses  that  are  specifi cally  attributable  to  acquisition  of  intangible  assets  are  allocated 
and capitalised as a part of the cost of the intangible assets.

Amortisation on impaired assets is provided by adjusting the amortisation charges in the remaining periods so as to allocate the asset’s 
revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.

Goodwill represents the difference between the Group’s share in the net worth of a subsidiary or an associate or a joint venture, and 
the cost of acquisition at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary or the associate or the joint venture. For this 
purpose,  the  Group’s  share  of  net  worth  is  determined  on  the  basis  of  the  latest  fi nancial  statements  prior  to  the  acquisition  after 
making necessary adjustments for material events between the date of such fi nancial statements and the date of respective acquisition. 
Capital Reserve on consolidation represents negative goodwill arising on consolidation.

Goodwill arising out of acquisition of equity stake in a subsidiary, an associate or a joint venture is amortised in equal amounts over a 
period of ten years from the date of fi rst acquisition. In the event of cessation of operations of a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, 
the unamortised goodwill is written off fully.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred for potential mineral reserves is recognised and reported as part of “capital work-in-
progress”  under  “Intangible  Assets”  when  such  costs  are  expected  to  be  either  recouped  in  full  through  successful  exploration  and 
development of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or when exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have 
not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically available reserves and 
active and signifi cant operations in relation to the area are continuing or are planned for the future. Exploration assets are re-assessed 
on  a  regular  basis  and  these  costs  are  carried  forward  provided  that  at  least  one  of  the  conditions  outlined  above  is  met.  All  other 
exploration and evaluation expenditure is recognised as expense in the period in which it is incurred.

11. 

Impairment of assets

As at each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested for impairment so as to determine:

a) 

b) 

the provision for impairment loss, if any; or

 the reversal of impairment loss recognised in previous periods, if any.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is determined:

a) 

b) 

in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use;

in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identifi ed, independent cash fl ows), at the higher of the 
cash generating unit’s net selling price and the value in use.

(Value  in  use  is  determined  as  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  fl ows  from  the  continuing  use  of  an  asset  and  from  its 
disposal at the end of its useful life.)

12. 

Investments

Long term investments (other than associates) are carried at cost, after providing for any diminution in value, to recognise a decline 
“other  than  temporary”  in  nature.  Current  investments  are  carried  at  lower  of  cost  and  fair  value.  The  determination  of  carrying 
amount  of  such  investments  is  done  on  the  basis  of  weighted  average  cost  of  each  individual  investment.  Investment  in  associate 
companies is accounted using “equity method” as stated in Para 3 (b) above.

Inventories
Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:
a) 

Raw  materials,  components,  construction  materials,  stores,  spares  and  loose  tools  at  lower  of  weighted  average  cost  or  net 
realisable value.

b)  Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of cost including related overheads or net realisable value.

In the case of qualifying assets, cost also includes applicable borrowing costs vide policy relating to borrowing costs.
Finished  goods  at  lower  of  weighted  average  cost  or  net  realisable  value.  Cost  includes  related  overheads  and  excise  duty 
paid/payable on such goods.
 Property development land at lower of cost or net realisable value.
 Completed property is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value.

15.  Securities premium account

The  difference  between  the  market  value  and  the  consideration  received  in  respect  of  shares  issued  pursuant  to  Stock 
Appreciation Rights Scheme.

Expenses (net of tax) incurred on issue of debentures/bonds.
Premium (net of tax) on redemption of debentures/bonds.

16.  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of cost 
of  such  asset  till  such  time  as  the  asset  is  ready  for  its  intended  use  or  sale.  A  qualifying  asset  is  an  asset  that  necessarily  requires 
a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the 
period in which they are incurred.

17.  Employee stock ownership schemes

In  respect  of  stock  options  granted  pursuant  to  the  Company’s  Employee  Stock  Options  Schemes,  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  options 
(excess of market price of the share over the exercise price of the option) is treated as discount and accounted as employee compensation 
cost over the vesting period.

18.  Foreign currency transactions, foreign operations, forward contracts and derivatives

a) 

b) 

The reporting currency of the Company is Indian Rupee.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency, using the exchange rate at the date of 
the transaction. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary 
items,  carried  at  historical  cost  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency,  are  reported  using  the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  of  the 
transaction.

Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date 
at the closing rate are:

i) 

ii) 

adjusted in the cost of fi xed assets specifi cally fi nanced by the borrowings contracted upto March 31, 2004 to which the 
exchange differences relate.

adjusted  in  the  cost  of  fi xed  assets  specifi cally  fi nanced  by  borrowings  contracted  between  the  period  April  1,  2004  to 
March 31, 2007 and to which the exchange differences relate, provided the assets are acquired from outside India.

iii) 

recognised as income or expense in the period in which they arise, in cases other than (i) and (ii) above.

c) 

Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted prior to April 1, 2004, are translated as follows:

i) 

ii) 

Closing inventories at rates prevailing at the end of the year.

Fixed Assets as at April 1, 1991 at rates prevailing at the end of the year in which the additions were made. Subsequent 
additions  are  at  rates  prevailing  on  the  dates  of  the  additions.  Depreciation  is  accounted  at  the  same  rate  at  which  the 
assets are translated.

iii)  Other assets and liabilities at rates prevailing at the end of the year.
iv)  Net revenues at the average rate for the year.
Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted on or after April 1, 2004, are treated as Integral operations 
and translated as in the same manner as foreign currency transactions, as described above. Exchange differences arising on such 
translation are recognised as income or expense of the period in which they arise.
Financial statements of overseas non-integral operations are translated as under:
i) 

Assets and liabilities at the rate prevailing at the end of the year. Depreciation and amortization is accounted at the same 
rate at which assets are converted.
Revenues and expenses at yearly average exchange rates prevailing during the year.

ii) 
Exchange differences arising on translation of non integral foreign operations are accumulated in the foreign currency translation 
reserve until the disposal of such operations.
Forward  contracts,  other  than  those  entered  into  to  hedge  foreign  currency  risk  on  unexecuted  fi rm  commitments  or  highly 
probable forecast transactions, are treated as foreign currency transactions and accounted accordingly as per Accounting Standard 
(AS) 11 [“The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”]. Exchange differences arising on such contracts are recognised in 
the period in which they arise.
Gains and losses arising on account of roll over/cancellation of forward contracts are recognised as income/expense of the period 
in which such roll over/cancellation takes place.

g)  All the other derivative contracts, including forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks on unexecuted fi rm 
commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the fi nancial statements at fair value as on the Balance 
Sheet date, in pursuance of the announcement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) dated March 29, 2008 
on accounting of derivatives. The Company has adopted Accounting Standard (AS) 30 [“Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement”]  for  accounting  of  such  derivative  contracts,  not  covered  under  Accounting  Standard  (AS)  11  [“The  Effects  of 
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”], as mandated by the ICAI in the aforesaid announcement.
Accordingly,  the  resultant  gains  or  losses  on  fair  valuation/settlement  of  the  derivative  contracts  covered  under  Accounting 
Standard  (AS)  30  [“Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement”]  are  recognised  in  the  Profi t  and  Loss  account 
or  Balance  Sheet  as  the  case  may  be  after  applying  the  test  of  hedge  effectiveness.  Where  the  hedge  is  effective,  the  gains 
or  losses  are  recognised  in  the  “Hedging  Reserve”  which  forms  part  of  “Reserves  and  Surplus”  in  the  Balance  Sheet,  while 
the  same  is  recognised  in  the  Profi t  &  Loss  Account  where  the  hedge  is  ineffective.  The  amount  recognised  in  the  “Hedging 
Reserve” is transferred to Profi t and Loss Account in the period in which the underlying hedged item affects the Profi t and Loss 
Account.
The  premium  paid/received  on  a  foreign  currency  forward  contract  is  accounted  as  expense/income  over  the  period  of  the 
contract.

segment.

b) 

Inter-segment transfer pricing

Segment  revenue  resulting  from  transactions  with  other  business  segments  is  accounted  on  the  basis  of  transfer  price

20.  Taxes on income

a) 

Indian companies:

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with 
the provisions of the Income Tax Act 1961, and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.

Deferred  tax  is  recognised  on  timing  differences  between  the  accounting  income  and  the  taxable  income  for  the  year,  and 
quantifi ed using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head “Capital Gains” are recognised and 
carried forward to the extent there is virtual certainty that suffi cient future taxable income will be available against which such 
deferred tax assets can be realised.

Other  deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  and  carried  forward  to  the  extent  that  there  is  a  reasonable  certainty  that  suffi cient 
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

b) 

Foreign companies:

Foreign companies recognise tax liabilities and assets in accordance with the applicable local laws.

21.  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Note:  The  fair  value  of  the  plan  assets  under  the  trust  managed  provident  fund  plan  has  been  determined  at  amounts 

based on their value at the time of redemption, assuming a constant rate of return to maturity. 

* 

Basis used to determine the overall expected return:

The trust formed by the Company manages the investments of provident funds and gratuity fund. Expected return 
on  plan  assets  is  determined  based  on  the  assessment  made  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  on  the  return  expected 
on its existing portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective 
assets in the portfolio during the year. Also refer note no. 33(ii)(f)(7) below.

The Company expect to fund ` 34.36 crore (previous year: ` 43.67 crore) towards its gratuity plan and ` 98.94 crore 
(previous year: ` 78.60 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2011-2012.

For post-retirement medical benefi t plan & company pension plan, the attrition rate varies from 2% to 8% 
(previous year: 2% to 8%) for various age groups.
For  gratuity  plan  the  attrition  rate  varies  from  1%  to  6%  (previous  year:  1%  to  7%)  for  various  age 
groups.

The  estimates  of  future  salary  increases,  considered  in  actuarial  valuation,  take  into  account  infl ation,  seniority, 
promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
The  interest  payment  obligation  of  trust-managed  provident  fund  is  assumed  to  be  adequately  covered  by  the 
interest  income  on  long  term  investments  of  the  fund.  Any  shortfall  in  the  interest  income  over  the  interest 
obligation on cumulative basis is recognised immediately in the Profi t and Loss Account as actuarial loss. 
The obligation of the company under the post-retirement medical benefi t plan is limited to the overall ceiling limits. 
At  present,  healthcare  cost,  as  indicated  in  the  principal  actuarial  assumption  given  above,  has  been  assumed  to 
increase at 5% p.a.

h)  General descriptions of defi ned benefi t plans:

1.  Gratuity plan :

The  Company  operates  gratuity  plan  wherein  every  employee  is  entitled  to  the  benefi t  equivalent  to  fi fteen  days 
salary  last  drawn  for  each  completed  year  of  service.  The  same  is  payable  on  termination  of  service  or  retirement 
whichever is earlier. The benefi t vests after fi ve years of continuous service. The company’s scheme is more favorable 
as compared to the obligation under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. A small part of the gratuity plan, which is not 
material, is unfunded and managed within the Company.

2. 

Post-retirement medical benefi t plan:

The  Post-retirement  Medical  Benefi t  plan  provides  for  reimbursement  of  health  care  costs  to  certain  categories  of 
employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of the 
employee at the time of retirement.

3. 

Company’s pension plan:

In  addition  to  contribution  to  State-Managed  Pension  Plan  (EPS  scheme),  the  Company  operates  a  post  retirement 
pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends 
on the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement. 

4. 

Trust managed provident fund plan:

The  Company  manages  provident  fund  plan  through  a  Provident  Fund  Trust  for  its  employees  which  is  permitted 
under the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan envisages contribution by employer and 
employees and guarantees interest at the rate notifi ed by the Provident Fund Authority. The contribution by employer 
and  employee  together  with  interest  are  payable  at  the  time  of  separation  from  service  or  retirement  whichever  is 
earlier. The benefi t under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
