Chairman & Managing Director

Dear Shareholders

A  multiplicity  of  business,  economic  and  political  factors 
made  the  year  gone  by  among  the  most  challenging  in 
recent times. The global economy is seeking to recover from 
uncertainties centred on the European Union.  Domestically, 
a deterioration in macroeconomic indicators and a marked 
deceleration  in  the  investment  momentum  aggravated 
bearish  sentiments  in  the  capital  markets.  Infrastructure 
sectors  have  been  hampered  by  resource  constraints  and 
other  issues.  Investment  decisions,  as  a  result,  have  seen 
prolonged  deferment,  with  only  a  few  projects  being 
awarded. 

It  is  heartening,  however,  that  the  intrinsic  strengths  and 
embedded characteristics of the Indian economy still remain 
positive. GDP growth, at 6.5%, though sharply down from 
the levels that prevailed a couple of years back, still has the 
potential to revive. 

Performance Overview
Against  this  backdrop,  your  Company  has  successfully 
steered  a  steady  course  and  consolidated  its  position  as 
India’s leading E&C player. Fresh Order Inflows at ` 70,574 
Cr  enabled  the  year-end  unexecuted  Order  Book  position 
to  increase  by  11%  to  ` 145,723  Cr,  an  all-time  high  for 
the Company. The slowdown in orders from the domestic 
market was partially compensated by growth in international 
orders,  mainly  from  the  Middle  East  region.  International 
orders  accounted  for  18%  of  the  full  year’s  Order  Inflow. 
L&T  ensured  on-track  execution  of  projects  that  have 
been committed for delivery. This is reflected in the robust 
revenue of ` 53,171 Cr, an increase of 21% over FY11. Profit 
after  tax,  excluding  exceptional  and  extraordinary  items 
at  `  4,413  Cr,  translates  to  an  increase  of  20%  over  the 
previous year.

At the group level, your Company recorded net revenues of 
` 64,313 Cr, an increase of 24% over FY11. Consolidated

10% to ` 4,649 Cr during FY12.

class  L&T  Institute  of  Project  Management  accredited  by 
PMI of USA, and supports multiple CSTI (Construction Skill 
Training Institutes) across the country.

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  announce  that  your  Company  has 
recommended a dividend of `  16.50 per equity share on a 
face value of ` 2 per share for the year. The corresponding 
dividend  during  the  previous  fiscal  stood  at  `  14.50  per 
equity share.

Internationalisation
Your  Company  is  augmenting  its  presence  in  existing 
international  markets  such  as  Middle  East  and  South 
East  Asia  Regions  and  expanding  its  footprints  in  new 
geographies like Australia, CIS and select African countries. 
New offices have been set up at key locations such as Perth 
and Istanbul. A multi-cultural leadership team is being built 
through  induction  of  expatriates  with  local  knowledge, 
customer intimacy and domain expertise.

Capacity Augmentation
Over  the  last  few  years,  your  Company  has  built 
manufacturing  capacities  in  areas  of  strategic  significance 
and  in  low  cost  regions.  Production  at  the  state  of  the 
art  manufacturing  facilities  for  supercritical  boilers  and 
turbines,  which  were  commissioned  over  a  year  ago, 
has  been  streamlined  -  thus  enhancing  productivity.  This 
has  been  achieved  through  increased  indigenisation  of 
manufacturing  processes.  Facilities  for  manufacture  of 
critical  piping  and  Electrostatic  Precipitators  have  recently 
been commissioned. A new switchgear manufacturing unit 
has been set up in Vadodara which is expected to lower cost 
of production. Greenfield and brownfield expansion of the 
manufacturing units for Low and Medium voltage electrical 
control  panel  are  nearing  completion  in  Ahmednagar 
(Maharashtra)  and  Coimbatore  (Tamil  Nadu).  A  shipyard 
capable  of  manufacturing  a  variety  of  specialised  defence 
and commercial vessels is under commissioning. While some 
of the investments are capital intensive, the Company sees 
long term prospects for sustainable growth in these areas.

Talent Management
People  are  critical  to  L&T’s  growth  and  enduring  success. 
Your  Company  has  institutionalized  a  5  Step  Leadership 
Development  initiative  in  association  with  a  global 
consultancy firm to ensure a robust leadership pipeline. An 
expanded Leadership Development Academy forms a pivotal 
resource for this program. To address the needs of capability 
building at multiple levels, your Company also runs a world

Sustainable Development
Sustainability remains high on your Company’s agenda going 
forward.  The Company is working actively on the ‘green’ 
front,  with  considerable  headway  in  energy  conservation, 
renewable  energy  usage,  water  conservation  and  waste 
management. On the social development front, our thrust 
areas are mother & child health, education and skill building. 
In the last two years, your Company’s sustainability reporting 
secured  various  national  and  international  accolades, 
recognizing its significant efforts in this area.

Succession 
To address demands of the changing business environment 
and future growth prospects, the Board of your Company 
decided  to  further  strengthen  the  top  leadership  of  the 
Company by elevating Mr K. Venkataramanan as CEO and 
Managing Director with effect from April 1, 2012. This will 
enable the Executive Chairman to focus on value creation 
through  portfolio  restructuring,  institutionalising  the 
Independent Company structure, mentoring the leadership 
team  to  face  global  challenges  and  implementing  the 
strategic  plans  as  laid  out  in  ‘Lakshya  2016’.  A  younger 
generation of Directors have been brought on the Board to 
ensure long term sustainable leadership.

Outlook
Despite  the  challenging  macro  environment,  your 
Company’s  range  of  offerings  straddling  multiple  areas 
in  the  infrastructure  and  energy  sectors  allows  sighting 
of  opportunities  which  could  fructify  into  project  awards. 
Some  segments  within  these  sectors  holding  out  promise 
of growth in FY13 are:

 1 Infrastructure 
 a Roads  –  the  program  of  road  building  continues  and 
in  FY13,  NHAI  is  likely  to  bid  over  8,000  km  of  road 
contracts,  some  through  construction  awards  and  the 
majority through BOT concessions.

 b Metro  and  Mono  Rail  –  a  number  of  Tier-1  and  Tier-2 
cities  have  kick-started  projects  to  implement  metro 
and / or mono rail systems, since this has proven to be 
one of the best solutions for decongesting urban traffic. 

The  aggregate  of  these  prospects  presents  a  large  and 
profitable basket of opportunities.

 c Railways Business – With the Dedicated Freight Corridor 
taking  shape,  large  opportunities  are  expected  to 
materialise  commencing  FY13.  Indian  Railways  is  also 
augmenting and upgrading its network, which gives rise 
to business potential in this area.

 d Water Projects – Standard water management facilities 
(bulk transmission, water treatment, effluent treatment, 
etc)  as  well  as  advanced  water  solutions  such  as 
Desalination  and  Reverse  Osmosis  plants  provide  good 
opportunity  for  growth.  Apart  from  domestic  markets, 
your  Company  expects  good  prospects  in  Qatar,  Saudi 
Arabia, UAE and Oman by offering total water solutions.

 e Urban Infrastructure – Strong drivers such as population 
density,  high  nominal  GDP  growth,  high  domestic 
savings  and  increasing  aspiration  levels  are  driving  an 
urban transformation. This is opening up opportunities 
in areas of residential housing, commercial office space, 
hotels, hospitals, educational institutions and shopping 
complexes in Tier 1, 2 & 3 cities.

 f Airports  –  The  Aviation  industry  seems  to  be  poised 
for  sustained  growth  with  increasing  trends  of  both 
passenger  and  cargo  traffic,  annually.  Opportunities 
are  opening  up  with  expansion  plans  of  many
non-metro  airports  in  India  and  internationally
in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and South East Asia.

 g International Markets – Your Company is targeting the 
Middle  East  and  other  Asian  markets  for  infrastructure 
business in areas such as Airports, Roads, Bridges, Water 
Treatment and Power Transmission.

Heavy Engineering
Your Company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers 
of the technology-intensive custom-built equipment and 
expects to continue its growth in process equipment in 
FY13.  Although  the  unfortunate  Fukushima  nuclear 
incident  in  Japan  has  reduced  the  pace  of  growth  in 
this  sector,  your  Company  is  targeting  international 
prospects  such  as  Spent  Fuel  storage  equipment  and 
decommissioning  of  Generation  II  plants.  The  defence 
sector shows good promise in the medium to long term - 
both in land and marine business segments. The Defence 

Offset Programme and recent Government initiatives 
for  encouraging  private  sector  for  partnering  with 
Defence  Public  Sector  Undertakings  provide  a  range 
of opportunities. 

Hydrocarbon
India’s efforts to achieve minimum energy security can 
only be successful through investment in development 
of upstream assets. While capex spends on downstream 
facilities creation is likely to remain modest for some 
time, investment in deep sea projects and new pipeline 
networks  are  likely  generate  opportunity.  Fertiliser 
capex  is  likely  to  revive  in  FY13  and  should  provide 
promising  business  opportunities.  Your  Company’s 
thrust on international markets has yielded results, with 
several prestigious international project orders during 
the year. In addition to GCC markets, your Company is 
targeting select opportunities in new geographies like 
South East Asia, Australia, Africa & CIS through local 
country presence, strategic partnerships, etc.

Thermal Power
While  power  is  one  of  the  largest  bottlenecks  to 
economic growth, investment decisions to set up fresh 
capacity  for  coal  and  gas  fired  power  plants  remain 
uncertain due to constraints of coal / gas, land, water, 
environment clearance and long term finance. While 
boiler and turbine manufacturing capacities are likely
to be well utilised for the current year, improved order
inflow  is  critical  for  a  robust  FY14.  Your  Company, 
however,  is  geared  to  leverage  its  capabilities  in  the 
power sector both in India and nearby countries.

Power Transmission & Distribution
Your Company has demonstrated an impressive order 
book growth in FY12 both in domestic and international 
markets,  backed  by  strong  EPC,  fabrication, 
testing  and  execution  capabilities.  The  increased 
investments in India by government undertakings and 
strengthening of transmission grids in GCC countries 
provide  significant  business  opportunities  for  power 
transmission and distribution business.

Metallurgical & Material Handling
The short term outlook in this area remains challenging 
due to complexities of present mining policies, delays 
in  land  acquisition  and  environmental  clearances. 
The  demand,  however,  for  metals  in  the  medium  to

Financial Services
L&T  Finance  Holdings  Ltd.  made  its  debut  in  Equity 
Capital  Markets  in  FY12  through  a  maiden  IPO  which 
received  overwhelming  response  from  investors.  The 
business  continued  its  growth  momentum  during 
FY12  with  a  42%  growth  in  its  consolidated  Total 
Income  and  a  growth  of  16%  in  Profits  after  Tax.  The 
Loans and advances extended by the Financial Services 
Companies have grown by 39% and stands at ` 25,442 
Cr  at  end-FY12.  The  Financial  Services  group  is  now  a 
broad-based, diversified Financial Services provider and 
is benefiting from a solid growth platform.

11

Developmental Projects
Your company has built a significant portfolio of assets 
covering  concessions,  mainly  in  roads,  ports,  power 
generation  and  Metro  rail.  The  majority  of  projects 
are  in  various  stages  of  completion.  While  returns  on 
developmental  projects  are  typically  back-ended,  your 
Company  would  be  seeking  to  unlock  value  through 
churning  of  mature  assets  within  the  portfolio  and 
through equity partnership.

Before I conclude, I would like to thank all L&T-ites for 
their  unstinted  support  and  commitment  during  the 
challenging yet exciting period. I would also like to thank 
my fellow Board members for the support that they have 
unconditionally  extended.  I  also  extend  my  gratitude 
to  our  customers,  supply  chain  partners  and  all  other 
stakeholders  for  their  continuous  support.  We  remain 
committed to stakeholder value creation and will live up 
to the trust reposed in us.

Thank you.

long  term  is  expected  to  grow,  driven  by  capex  plans 
by  Integrated  Steel  Players,  increased  consumption 
and  investments  in  infrastructure.  Material  handling 
prospects are also looking up in areas of power, mining, 
steel and ports.

10

Electrical &  Automation
Although sluggish offtake from industrial sectors led to 
muted overall growth in FY12, agriculture and buildings 
sectors  are  providing  growth  opportunities  to  this 
business.  Business  is  focusing  on  forging  ahead  with 
world  class  contemporary  products,  and  has  filed  162 
patent applications in FY12. The Electrical & Automation 
business  can  expect  an  upward  momentum  when  the 
general economy improves.

Machinery & Industrial Products
Machinery  &  Industrial  Products  business  has  been 
affected by general slowdown, deceleration in industrial 
activity, and restrictions on mining. In Industrial Products, 
valves maintained the positive trend in FY12, registering 
a  healthy  growth  in  order  inflow  and  sales.  Sustained 
oil  &  gas  project  activities  in  the  Middle  East,  North 
Africa  and  Australia  provide  good  opportunities.  The 
Construction Machinery Business successfully sustained 
the  performance  of  the  preceding  year  in  a  market 
which witnessed intense competition. The Business Unit 
has  maintained  its  leadership  position  in  the  premium 
market segment and strengthened its position with new 
offerings in Large Size Mining Equipment.

Information Technology &  Integrated Engineering 
Services
L&T Infotech, a wholly owned subsidiary, grew at 30% 
Y-o-Y  on  a  consolidated  basis  with  over  90%  of  its 
revenues  from  overseas  clients.  Profit  after  Tax  grew 
by  33%  in  spite  of  withdrawal  of  STPI  Tax  benefits  in 
FY12 through tax policy change. L&T Infotech has taken 
several  initiatives  for  operational  excellence,  tapping 
new  markets  and  forging  strategic  alliances  to  provide 
solutions in upcoming technologies.

Integrated Engineering Services, an SBU within L&T and a 
provider of engineering services, is a global operator with 
94% of its business from overseas. It has shown a robust 
growth of 64% in the revenues during the current fiscal, 
despite economic slowdown in USA, Europe, etc. With 
growing clientele, the business is poised for encouraging
growth over the next few years.

Sustainability 
in Challenging 
Times

Successful businesses are sustainable businesses – 
in good times and even more so, in periods of uncertainty. In 
good times, such companies thrive and set new performance 
benchmarks. In times of challenge, they possess the inner 
resilience  and  the  robust  systems  that  help  them  navigate 
through cross currents and pull through to the future. Tough 
times  pose  searching  questions  about  the  caliber  of  an 
organization’s people, policies and practices. 

They also test the organization’s resolve to remain steadfastly 
by  its  values.  L&T’s  success  in  addressing  and  overcoming 
challenges  is  a  ‘live’  and  continuing  demonstration  of  the 
quality  of  its  systems  and  the  caliber  of  its  people  and 
processes.

Our annual Sustainability Reports continue to win national 
and  international  recognition.  The  2011  edition  too  has 
secured  the  ‘A+’  rating  from  Global  Reporting  Initiative  – 
representing the highest level of disclosures. 

Spreading smiles through a host of social interventions

L&T’s success in addressing and 

overcoming challenges is a ‘live’ and 

continuing demonstration of the 

quality of its systems and the caliber 

of its people and processes.

The following pages provide snapshots of sustainability in action. 

Since financial performance is dealt with elsewhere in the Annual 

Report, this section confines itself to the environmental & social 

aspects. 

A ‘Green Signal’ for Progress

The  ‘green’  cause  needs  continuous  motivation.    We  are 
helping  enlist  more  green  champions  through  regular 
communications in the form of e-mails, posters and banners 
that are disseminated across the Company. 

Public  perception  of  the  importance  of  protecting  the 
environment  is  gathering  pace.  In  schools  today,  children 
are  taught  facts  about  the  dangers  of  environmental 
degradation  that  must  have  been  unheard  of  a  couple  of 
generations ago. But there still is a yawning gap between 
thought and action. Public awareness needs to be raised to 
the tipping point – to the threshold that leads to the decisive 
and consistent action which alone can bring about change. 

L&T  on  its  part  is  doing  its  bit  by  making  green  thinking 
a  part  of  its  business  agenda.    As  we  push  ahead  with  a 
number  of  measures  to  reduce  our  carbon  footprint,  we 
have also enabled other companies to go green by extending 
our capabilities to construct more eco-friendly buildings and 
offering products that conserve energy. 

The greening of our campuses is part of a company-wide effort 
that includes project sites and neighbouring areas. Over 30% of 
the open land around our manufacturing facilities are lush green.

We are not only adopting eco-

friendly processes ourselves, we are 

enabling other companies and the 

community to advance more rapidly 

towards a greener tomorrow. 

Talegaon literally means the village of lakes. L&T has taken steps 
to ensure that this little hamlet on the Sahyadris lives up 
to its name, with a multi-tiered water conservation system. 

15

 
Aligned with the Indian government’s National Action Plan 
on  Climate  Change  (NAPCC),  L&T’s  eco-friendly  initiatives 
have enlarged its green footprint.

SOLAR

Highlights of initiatives:

•  We have reduced carbon emission to less than 

22,000 tonnes since 2008

•  12 per cent of our energy requirement is 

sourced from renewable energy

•  Several of L&T’s buildings are certified ‘green 

buildings’

SUSTAINABLE HABITAT

•  15 of our campuses have achieved zero 

wastewater discharge status

•  Total water consumption reduced by 5 per 

cent by L&T units since 2009  

•  Natural material being replaced with crushed 

sand, fly ash and ground granulated blast-

furnace slag

•  Apart from these, L&T nurtures over 150,000 

full-grown trees across its campuses. 

Additionally, L&T helps sustain the fragile 

Himalayan ecosystem by planting saplings

We continue to monitor performance 

and seek to enhance results across all 

environment-management initiatives.

SUSTAINING THE HIMALAYAN ECOSYSTEM

A Company with a Social Conscience

Everyone knows that you cannot ‘induct’ social consciousness 
into people.  The desire to help the underprivileged and the 
willingness to spend personal time doing it needs to be self-
started. The social service programmes that are conducted 
at  our  facilities  nationwide  and  the  helping  hand  that  we 
extend to the communities around us prove that, at L&T, our 
social conscience is alive and well.

The helping hand we extend 
to the communities around us 
prove that at L&T, our social 
conscience is alive and well.

We aim to ensure that every mother and child in the communities 
we operate has access to medical treatment.

L&T’s  social  interactions  take  place  at  many  levels,  and 
through multiple initiatives. These cover:

Construction Skills Training Institutes: 
Eight such units have been set up by L&T on its own, and six 
by  L&T in collaboration with different state governments.  
Each institute provides training free of cost in basic trades 
such as masonry, carpentry, bar bending…. Those who are 
trained find employment with the sub-contractors who work 
on L&T’s projects.

Health Care: 
Health Centres in Mumbai (at Andheri and Thane), Chennai, 
Surat  (Hazira)  and  Coimbatore  provide  diagnostic  services 
free of charge to the community. A special focus at these 
centres and in health camps organized by L&T is mother & 
child health.

Education: 
L&T assists schools around its facilities with teaching aids. 
A growing number of L&T-ites volunteer to teach pupils.

17

L&T engages with schools in the neighbourhood of its facilities. 
We believe that education is the single most vital contributor to 
progress.

L&Teering in Action:

LARSEN & TOUBRO PUBLIC CHARITABLE TRUST
An Engine of Change

You  will  not  find  the  word  ‘L&T-eers’  in  the  dictionary.  It 
is a unique word crafted to describe a special person – an 
L&T-ite who volunteers to undertake community service in 
his or her own time. L&T-eers belong to different age groups 
and  posses  varying  professional  skills.  What  they  all  share 
is the compassion and commitment to give back to society 
the benefits of their expertise. 

Teacher, counsellor and friend – the L&T-eers don many hats.

L&T-ites have been engaged in multiple initiatives 
for the community. These include:

•  Workshops for school students on personality 

development

•  ‘Mathematics with Smiles’ programmes to help 

students befriend a tough subject

•  Building water tanks, conducting health and 

eye camps

•  Participating in socially oriented community 

events 

18

The L&T Public Charitable Trust epitomizes the true spirit of 
service. Without fanfare, and away from the glare of publicity, 
this  Trust  formed  by  L&T  and  its  employees  is  quietly  but 
decisively touching the lives of the underprivileged.  LTPCT’s 
initiatives last year include:

Education: 
Project Vidya covers 56 schools in Maharashtra and Gujarat. 

Vocational Training: 
Close  to  a  thousand  men  and  over  4400  women  have 
benefitted.

Water Management: 
26  check  dams  have  been  contructed  in  tribal  pockets  of 
Thane District, Maharashtra. 

Community Health: 
Health  Center  at  Coimbatore  provides  medical  assistance 
to villages in the vicinity. Programme with Family Planning 
association of India in Mumbai and through KEM Hospital 
Research Center, Pune has benefitted over 50,000 people in 
urban and rural areas.

Corporate Technical Training - Support to ITI:
Industry Oriented Training  in 27 ITIs improve employability 
of students. 

Trainees at L&T’s Construction Skills Training Institute at Chennai 
learn to put up a scaffolding.

Ladies Take the Lead

The line ‘behind every successful man is a woman’ has so 
often been used in a light-hearted context that its original 
significance  has  become  eroded.    But  in  the  case  of  L&T-
ites, the full significance of the line holds good.  From the 
metropolitan centres where the Company’s offices are based 
to  project  sites  in  remote  locations,  spouses  constitute 
an  invaluable  support  system  that  enables  the  L&T-ite  to 

Ladies Club members interact with women from the community

function effectively. At many of these locations, the wives 
have  gone  a  step  further  –  they  have  pooled  their  skills 
and resources to introduce a social dimension to their lives. 
Groups known as ‘Ladies Clubs’ function under the umbrella 
– ‘Prayas Trust’.  

This  movement  has  been  energized  by  L&T’s  Chairman  & 
Managing  Director,  Mr.  A.M.  Naik.    He  is  an  inspirational 
mentor, a relentless goal-setter and a leader determined to 
foster the principle of ‘giving back to society’. The initiatives 
are often boosted by his personal contributions. Under Mr 
Naik’s  guidance, the Ladies Club network has extended its 
reach and scope. Currently there are 33 Ladies Clubs with 
over 3000 members. 

Their canvas is vast. Ladies Clubs are involved in educational 
enrichment programmes for schools , organising vocational 
training courses, training in life skills for adolescent girls and 
providing support to the differently-abled . Other key social 

interventions  cover  those  that  make  women  self-reliant. 
These  include  devising  avenues  for  income  generation  to 
help women impacted by HIV/AIDS , developing computer 
literacy and training  girls in tailoring  and embroidery.

In  addition,  several  Ladies  Club  members  volunteer  at 
orphanages  and  institutions  for  the  elderly  and  destitute. 
At a different level, these clubs also play a very important 
role to nurture employee bonding within the organisation.

“L&T Ladies Clubs present society 

the human face of the Company. 

I see these institutions as instruments 

to transmit L&T’s values of caring and 

sharing to the community at large.”

– Mr. A.M. Naik, 
Chairman & Managing Director

At the inauguration of the new centre of ‘Prayas Trust’ – the 
Ladies Club at Chennai, Mr. Naik urges members to expand the 
scope of their activities and deepen their engagements.

L&T Heavy Engineering has been exploring opportunities 
for  export  of  Defence,  Nuclear  Power  &  Aerospace 
equipment  as  well.  Orders  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 defence industry for technology tie ups 
and indigenous manufacturing.

  Construction IC:

The focus on GCC Countries occupies a predominant 
position for PT&D for its International Business. The year 
2011-12 was an extremely challenging year. Inordinate 
delay  /  deferment  of  projects  by  clients  affected  the 
Sales.  However,  L&T’s  Global  Footprint  coupled  with 
project execution capabilities helped the IC in securing 
certain prestigious orders in Qatar, UAE and Kuwait in 
the Power Transmission and Distribution Sector. The IC 
has substantially improved its market share in Qatar.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Business Environment:
The construction industry continues to witness slowdown 
and was very sluggish during the last financial year. In 
UAE, the Abu Dhabi Government, despite being highly 
liquid  and  cash  rich,  is  very  cautious  in  it’s  approach 
and the same is evident from the delay in placement of 
Tender/Award of Contracts. 

Business Performance:
The  IC  has  secured  one  of  the  largest  value  tender 
in  PT&D  business  at  Qatar  during  the  year  2011-12. 
Expansion of Business into the new areas viz. Bahrain, 
Kuwait has helped the Company to reach significantly 
higher order inflow position. 

Volatility in Commodity Prices:
Though  oil  price  was  not  seen  with  much  oscillation, 
the commodity price had lot of volatility, however the 
Operating Company protected its margin by mitigating 
the risk through proper hedging.

  Outlook:

The  2012-13  outlook  for  GCC  countries  remains 
positive  despite  the  Eurozone  crisis.  With  oil  prices 
expected to be around $100/barrel range in 2012, GCC 
public finances will remain reassuringly strong. Due to 
Arab spring in 2011, Government will remain focused 
on their medium term development goals & propel the 
growth rate which will pave way for enhanced business 
opportunities. 

On  the  cost  side,  the  various  welfare  measures 
announced  by  GCC  Governments  for  their  nationals, 
including a steep hike in their salaries pose a challenge 
to  the  Company  in  terms  of  inflation  &  pressures 
on  margin.  In  addition,  recruitment  &  management 
of  multinational  staffs  &  workmen  will  add  to  the 
challenges to the Company’s project team. 

  With  the  IC  having  firmly  established  in  all  GCC 
countries now, it has set its sight to expand to African 
Countries & corner a significant market share in GCC 
Market.

Electrical & Automation IC:
The overall economic activities, affected by factors such 
as increasing oil prices, inflation, higher interest rates 
and rise in input costs, remained quite slow. The dull 
Middle  East  markets  in  the  middle-east  added  to  the 
pressure on this business. 

Tamco Malaysia (one of the subsidiaries of the Company) 
qualified for Achilles (UK) certification, made an entry 
into  Philippines  and  Vietnam  markets,  qualified  in 
Kuwait and Iraq, received Petronas approval for its MV 

products and executed its first order for 31.5kA AIS at 
Lusail City in Qatar. 

The  switchboards  and  automation  teams  bagged  an 
order of US $ 22 million for supply of switchboards and 
telecommunications  package  including  transmission 
network  and  CCTV  monitoring  for  an  inter  refinery 
pipelines project in Abu Dhabi. 

Future Outlook:
Some of our focused International markets have started 
showing signs of recovery. The outlook for TAMCO holds 
good promise. Besides Malaysia, there is an anticipation 
of  boom  in  mining  and  offshore  industries  as  well  as 
capacity  addition  in  windmills  in  Western  Australia, 
opportunities  in  the  infrastructure  sector  in  Qatar, 
UAE and Malaysia. The Maaden frame agreement has 
facilitated recognition of the IC’s subsidiary with global 
EPC majors in KSA where higher government spending 
in infrastructure segment is expected to yield significant 
business. For the IC’s subsidiary in UAE, the Oil & Gas, 
Utility  and  Infrastructure  segments  are  showing  signs 
of revival across Middle East, Africa and CIS countries 
with significant investments announced over next 3-5 
years.  Having  strengthened  its  position  in  Telecom 
System  Integration,  it  expects  to  grow  significantly  in 
this area in addition to the areas in control, electrical 
and instrumentation.

Electrical  &  Automation  (E&A)  business  is  confident 
of  higher  growth  with  the  Utility  segment  indicating 
increased  activities  alongwith  revival  in  the  Building 
segment in GCC region. Africa has become a destination 
of new opportunities. Prospects of turnkey automation 
projects are improving and opportunities in the energy 
management  segment  should  contribute  to  better 
growth for automation products and solutions. 

For  FY  2011-12,  E&A  filed  162  patents  applications, 
16  trademark  applications,  10  design  registrations 
and  9  Copyrights  as  well  as  10  international  patent 
applications  through  PCT  (Patent  Cooperation  Treaty) 
making it the 5th consecutive year of filing more than 
100 patent applications.

Power IC:
Power IC has identified export markets as key to growth 
for  its  Gas-based  Power  Plants  SBU.  This  is  driven  by 
lack of opportunities in domestic market owing to sharp 
fall in Gas availability, which led the Ministry of Power 
to advise Indian Power Producers not to plan any new 
Gas-based Power project until 2015-16.

Power  IC  has  identified  GCC  and  South  East  Asia  as 
the  potential  markets.  A  good  beginning  is  made  in

1600 MW are expected to be ordered out in 2012-13.

Negotiations  are  also  in  progress  with  Mitsubishi 
Heavy Industries Limited to order components on the 
manufacturing Joint Ventures, namely L&T-MHI Boilers 
Private Limited and L&T-MHI Turbine Generators Private 
Limited.

partners  for  further  promotion  and  sales  activities. 
Increased  mining  activity  in  neighbouring  countries 
like  Nepal,  Bhutan  and  Myanmar  will  also  throw 
opportunities of sale for our equipment in coming year.

A few initiatives detailed:
The  following  initiatives  are  being  followed  on  a 
continuous basis by the Company:

 (cid:122) Widening new geographical areas for augmenting 

  Manufacturing & Industrial Products IC (MIP IC):

its exports.

LTM BU has successfully supplied the proto type press 
to a major European Tyre Manufacturer and the press 
is under observation. On successful performance LTM 
will be in a position to get orders for presses to their 
plants worldwide. LTM also succeeded in obtaining an 
order for Automatic Truck Tyre Building Machines from 
another Major European Tyre Major, which opens a new 
market  segment  for  the  unit.  The  Rubber  Machinery 
business secured orders in Greenfield domestic projects 
and emerging economies like Brazil and Russia this year. 
LTM BU also stands to benefit from the new business 
prospects likely to emerge in the area of Internal Mixers 
and Twin Screw Extruders in the coming year.

Valves unit did good business on the back of sustained 
Oil & Gas project activity in the Middle East, North Africa 
and Australia. The targeted projects in international Oil 
& Gas were on schedule and enabled Valves to end the 
year with a healthy order booking. Extension of approval 
for new range of products including TMBV / TOBV were 
taken up with end users like Aramco, KOC, Adnoc etc. 
for their product requirements. Service support at site 
was  strengthened  with  agreements  signed  with  local 
modification shop in Qatar, Saudi Arabia & Abu Dhabi. 
Detailed plans to address replacement market business 
are  being  worked  out  with  key  distributors.  All  these 
measures are expected to bring in international business 
of significant scale.

Exports opportunities of Crushing and Surface Mining 
equipment at Kansbahal were limited in 2011-12 due 
to subdued activities in cement industry in GCC region. 
The future potential for export growth of products from 
Kansbahal is envisaged in African countries. The efforts 
are  being  made  in  identifying  and  aligning  with  local

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 
efficiently 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 your 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 fulfill 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  endeavours  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)  Executive Management – by the Corporate Management comprising the Executive Directors and two Senior 

Managerial Personnel and three Advisors to the Chairman. 

(iii)  Strategy & Operational Management – by the Independent Company Boards of each Independent Company 
(IC) comprising representatives from the Company Board, Senior Executives from the IC and independent members.

(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 confidence. 

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  fiduciary  position,  empowered  to  oversee  the  management  functions 
with a view to ensure its effectiveness and enhancement of shareholder 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 financials and budgets before they 
are presented to the Company Board.

c.  Chairman & Managing Director (CMD): 

The  CMD  is  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  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.

The Board has bifurcated the position of CMD. Presently, the Company has a Chief Executive Officer and Managing 
Director (CEO & MD). The present CMD will take on his new role as Group Executive Chairman with effect from 
October 1, 2012.

49

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The CEO & MD will be fully accountable to the Board for the Company’s business results, people development, 
operational excellence, business development and other related responsibilities. The Group Executive Chairman 
will provide leadership and devote his full attention to certain core actions which would include, inter alia, focus 
on  restructuring,  mentor  senior  executives,  succession  planning,  corporate  governance,  interface  with  critical 
Government entities and major customers for the Company and Group Companies and provide support, wherever 
necessary.

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

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): 
In 2010-11, the Company developed its strategic plan for 2010-15 (LAKSHYA 2015) which, inter alia, defined 
various  business  areas  to  be  focused  on  over  the  next  five  years.  The  thrust  of  LAKSHYA  2015  was  increased 
accountability and ownership for performance, making the Company less complex to manage and be more focused 
on its core business. The Company was restructured into 10 Independent Companies (ICs) [not legal entities] with 
each IC having its own Board, with members both within the Company, independent members and a representative 
from the Company’s Board.

Since the formulation of “LAKSHYA 2015” the development in domestic and international environment impacted 
the performance and future expectations of many of the Company’s existing businesses compared to the original 
targets in “LAKSHYA 2015”. The Company has now undertaken a mid-term review of the Strategy Plan called 
“LAKSHYA 2016” to initiate various strategic actions to achieve the goals set earlier with minimum deviations.

iv)  Board Membership Criteria:
  While screening, selecting and recommending 
to  the  Board  new  members,  the  Committee 
ensures  that  the  Board  is  objective,  there 
is  absence  of  conflict  of  interest,  ensures 
availability  of  diverse  perspectives,  business 
experience, legal, financial & other expertise, 
integrity,  managerial  qualities,  practical 
wisdom, ability to read & understand financial 
statements, commitment to ethical standards 
and values of the Company and ensure healthy 
debates & sound decisions.

  While  evaluating  the  suitability  of  a  Director 
for  re-appointment,  besides  the  above 
criteria,  the  Committee  considers  the  past 
performance, attendance and participation in 
and contribution to the activities of the Board 
by the Director.

The  Non-Executive  Directors  comply  with 
the  definition  of  Independent  Director 
as  given  under  Clause  49  of  the  Listing 
Agreement. As per the definition, all our NEDs 
qualify  as  “Independent  Directors”.  While 
appointing  /  re-appointing  any  NEDs  on  the 
Board,  the  Committee,  considers  the  criteria 
as laid down in the Listing Agreement.

All the Independent Directors give a certificate 
confirming that they meet the “independence 
criteria”  as  mentioned  in  Clause  49  of  the 
Listing Agreement.

These  certificates  have  been  placed  on  the 
website of the Company.

Remuneration Policy
The  remuneration  of  the  Board  members 
is  based  on  the  Company’s  size  &  global 
presence,  its  economic  &  financial  position, 
industrial  trends,  compensation  paid  by  the 
peer  companies,  etc.  Compensation  reflects 
each  Board  member’s  responsibility  and 
performance. The level of Board compensation 
to  Executive  Directors  is  designed  to  be 
competitive in the market for highly qualified 
executives.

The Company pays remuneration to Executive 
Directors  by  way  of  salary,  perquisites  & 
retirement  benefits  (fixed  components)  & 
commission  (variable  component),  based  on 
recommendation of the Committee, approval 
of  the  Board  and  the  shareholders.  The 
commission  is  calculated  with  reference  to 
net  profits  of  the  Company  in  the  financial 
year subject to overall ceilings stipulated under 
Sections  198  &  309  of  the  Companies  Act, 
1956.

The  NEDs  are  paid  remuneration  by  way  of 
commission  &  sitting  fees.  The  Company 
pays sitting fees of v 20,000 per meeting of 
the  Committee  and  the  Board  to  the  NEDs 
for  attending  the  meetings  of  the  Board  & 
Committees.  The  commission  is  paid  as  per 
limits approved by shareholders, subject to a 
limit not exceeding 1% p.a. of the profits of 
the Company (computed in accordance with 
Section 309(5) of the Companies Act, 1956). 

The  commission  to  NEDs  is  distributed 
broadly  on  the  basis  of  their  attendance, 
contribution  at  the  Board,  the  Committee 
meetings,  Chairmanship  of  Committees  and 
participation in IC meetings.

In  the  case  of  nominees  of  Financial 
Institutions,  the  commission  is  paid  to  the 
Financial Institutions.

As  required  by  the  provisions  of  Clause  49 
of  the  Listing  Agreement,  the  criteria  for 
payment  to  Non-Executive  Directors  is  made 
available on the investor page of our corporate 
website www.larsentoubro.com

G.  OTHER INFORMATION

a)  Training of Directors:

All our directors are aware and are also updated as 
and when required, of their role, responsibilities & 
liabilities. 

The Company holds Board meetings at its registered 
office  and  also  if  necessary,  in  locations,  where 
it  operates.  Site  /  factory  visits  are  organized  at 
various locations for the Directors.

b) 

Information to directors:
The  Board  of  Directors  has  complete  access  to 
the information within the Company, which inter 
alia,  includes  items  as  mentioned  on  Page  52  in 
Annexure ‘C’ to the Directors Report.

Presentations  are  made  regularly  to  the  Board  / 
N&R / Audit Committee (AC) (minutes of AC & N&R 
are  circulated  to  the  Board),  where  Directors  get 
an opportunity to interact with senior managers. 
Presentations, inter alia, cover business strategies, 
management  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. 

c)  Risk Management Framework:

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 defined framework.

A  detailed  note  on  risk  management  is  given  in 
the  Financial  Review  section  of  Management’s 
Discussion  and  Analysis  report  elsewhere  in  this 
Report.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
d)  Statutory Auditors:

The Board has recommended to the shareholders, 
the  re-appointment  of  Sharp  &  Tannan  (S&T)  as 
auditors. S&T has furnished a declaration confirming 
their  independence  as  well  as  their  arm’s  length 
relationship with the Company as well as declaring 
that they have not taken up any prohibited non-
audit assignments for the Company. The Company 
believes that S&T, over a period of time, has gained 
extensive  knowledge  of  the  Company  and  its 
diversified  business,  which  is  essential  to  ensure 
audit  quality  &  audit  objectivity.  Robust  internal 
control systems and risk management framework, 
review  of  Auditors’  performance  by  the  Audit 
Committee and peer review of the Audit firm, are 
some of the more important factors that prevent 
audit failures. Mr. R. D. Kare has signed the audit 
report for 2011-2012 on behalf of S&T. 

e)  Code of Conduct: 

The  Company  has  laid  down  a  Code  of  Conduct

Management Discussion & Analysis 2011-2012

Global Economic Condition

The world economy continues to face challenges on the road 

to sustained recovery. Advanced Economies that seemed to 

be  shaping  well  at  the  start  of  2011  lost  steam  towards 

the  fag-end  of  the  year  and  this  uncertainty  is  clouding 

the prospects for global growth during 2012. The growth 

momentum  was  impacted  as  the  protracted  debt  crisis  in 

the euro area and fiscal fragilities dampened business and 

consumer confidence. 

The  economic  crisis  and  its  ramifications  have  accelerated 

the  shift  of  economic  power  from  the  developed  to  the 

emerging nations and exposed a fragile world with limited 

capacity  to  respond  to  systemic  risks.  The  consequence 

has been volatile and low growth which is likely to stay for 

sometime to come.

was the lowest annual growth in the last 9 years and was 

sub-par in comparison to not just the pre-crisis years up to 

2008 but also compared to immediate post crisis period. 

With increasing global integration, the Indian economy was 

impacted  by  global  uncertainties,  while  at  the  same  time 

faced significant domestic challenges of persistent and high 

inflation,  tight  monetary  conditions,  low  investment  and 

delays in policy making. 

The slowdown in 2011-12 was seen in all the major sectors 

of  the  economy  as  compared  with  the  previous  year.  The 

Services  sector  grew  by  8.9%,  Industry  by  3.4%  and 

Agriculture  by  2.8%  as  compared  with  9.3%,  7.2%  and 

7% respectively in 2010-2011. Industrial growth remained 

subdued  due  to  supply-side  bottlenecks,  particularly  in 

the mining sector, and moderation in investment demand. 

Near  term,  the  growth  prospects  for  2012-2013  remain 

The  most  dismal  picture  has  been  presented  by  capital 

uncertain,  with  growth  petering  out  in  the  euro  area  and 

goods  segment  which  has  been  in  a  negative  territory

makes the much needed fiscal adjustment. Meanwhile, the 

resource rich Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has 

been facing significant internal challenges and geopolitical 

risks. In addition, there is the risk of large potential spillovers 

to the region from Europe.

Business scenario:

Core  sectors  in  the  country  which  are  of  key  importance 

to  the  businesses  of  the  Company,  in  particular,  Power, 

Transportation  Infrastructure,  Hydrocarbon,  Fertiliser, 

Defence,  faced  multiple  challenges  due  to  policy  delays. 

The  year  2011-2012  was  abetted  by  the  continuing

to new projects. The competition for limited opportunities, 

led  to  socio-political  tensions,  increasing  protectionism, 

reassessment of regulation and more importantly, heightened 

competition for scarce natural resources. 

Overview of Indian Economy

Delays  in  obtaining  various  clearances  and  approvals 

staggered  progress  on  a  few  ongoing  projects  in  power, 

power  transmission,  roads  and  railways  segment.  Product 

businesses  of  the  Company  witnessed  sluggish  industrial 

demand and recorded moderate sales during 2011-2012.

After  a  rebound  in  growth  in  2010-2011,  the  Indian 

Despite  the  prevailing  economic  uncertainties,  the  year 

economy  slowed  down  to  6.5%  in  fiscal  2011-2012.  This 

2012-2013  holds  prospects  of  gradual  build-up  in  the

budget proposals for the year 2012-2013. Apart from Power 

and Transportation Infrastructure, the emphasis will be on 

strengthening certain other sectors such as Fertiliser, Oil & 

Gas  Pipelines,  Irrigation,  and  Rural  Market  Network  with 

increase in the budgeted allocation of resources for funding 

growth in these sectors.

In  the  long-term,  India  continues  to  offer  considerable 

opportunities aided by its favourable demographic profile. 

Its large consumer market has attracted global companies, 

many of whom have made India their manufacturing hub. 

However,  in  order  to  harness  this  potential  and  achieve 

sustainable growth, the country needs to push forward critical 

reforms  and  build  innovative  public-private  partnerships 

to  deliver  rapid  and  inclusive  growth  as  also  provide  an 

enabling environment for upgrading infrastructure. 

The  businesses  of  the  Company  are  also  focusing  on 

harnessing international prospects, mainly from the Middle 

East  region  in  2012-2013.  The  forays  into  international 

markets  would  mean  dealing  with  many  challenges  such 

as  stiff  competition  from  multinational  players,  regulatory 

requirements of local sourcing etc. 

Margins  would  remain  under  pressure  during  2012-2013 

with  inflationary  conditions  and  continuing  competition 

from  domestic  and  international  players.  The  volatility  in 

commodity  prices  and  foreign  currency  exchange  rates 

are expected to pose challenges to the operating margins. 

Conditions of tight liquidity and elevated interest rates are 

expected to prevail in 2012-2013. The working capital levels 

unless managed well are likely to trend higher. 

Besides  policy  reforms,  better  governance,  delivery 

systems  and  stronger  implementation,  the  leaders  from 

the  government,  industry  and  society  need  to  collaborate 

to  improve  the  education  system,  invest  in  much  needed 

infrastructure,  increase  the  agricultural  productivity  and 

ensure  an  equitable  distribution  of  opportunities  for 

achieving an inclusive and sustainable growth. 

Growth Strategies and Thrust Areas:

Improved  execution  efficiencies,  cost  competitiveness, 

better  supply  chain  management,  control  over  working 

capital,  efficient  utilization  of  resources,  smart  bidding 

strategies, better product and service offerings will enable 

the businesses to achieve the desired targets in the medium 

term. The major growth strategies of the Company include:

and  construction  of  projects  in  Roads  and  Runways, 
Elevated Corridors, Metros, Tunnels, Ports, Special Bridges, 
Hydro  Power,  Nuclear  Power,  Defence  and  Railway 
infrastructure sectors.

Business Environment 
The slowdown in economic growth adversely affected the 
investment in various infrastructure projects in 2011-2012. 
Apart  from  deferment  of  ordering,  the  IC  also  witnessed 
stiff competition on the available business prospects during 
the year 2011-2012. Tight liquidity position, issues relating 
to land acquisition slowed down the pace of execution of 
certain large scale projects. The prices of key inputs remained 
volatile during 2011-2012.

Some  of  the  major  orders  secured  in  during  the  year 
2011-2012  include  Hosur-Krishnagiri,  Bewar-Pindwara, 
Kishangarh-Ahmedabad and Shivpuri-Dewas projects in road 

sector, various underground and elevated metro packages 
of Delhi, Chennai & Kolkata, common service package for

competitiveness, operational excellence, value engineering 
and improved capacity utilisation. Attracting and retaining 
talent with requisite competencies and focus on training and 
development to enhance productivity are also being done 
continuously to support the business needs.

75

Outlook 

Given  the  huge  gap  between  infrastructure  demand 
and  supply  in  a  growing  economy  like  India,  all  business 
relating  to  urban  infrastructure,  power,  roads  and  water 
would  witness  attractive  growth  over  a  sustained  period.
The  Union  Budget  2012-2013  also  lays  greater  emphasis 
on  infrastructure  development.  The  realisation  of  order 
prospects  in  infrastructure,  power,  defence  and  railways 
sectors,  however,  largely  depend  upon  the  government’s 
ability  to  implement  the  policy  decision  and  finance  large 
scale projects. 

Infra IC is clearly focussing in capitalising the current market 
trend. With the specific and continuous thrust on business 
development,  the  IC  is  looking  at  new  opportunities 
across various business segments in India as well as in the 
International  fronts.  The  healthy  Order  book  position  of 
Infra IC gives the confidence of registering good growth in 
revenues during the year 2012-2013.

assemblies. In case of APPDCL project, the 392MT Generator 
Stator was successfully erected.

Currently, 3 BOP projects are under execution and will enter 
the critical phase of completion in the year 2012-2013.

The  Dhuvaran  gas  based  project  being  constructed  for 
Gujarat  State  Electricity  Corp.  Ltd.  saw  the  HRSG  primary 
structures executed in a record 14 days.

The challenging economic environment reflected on lower 
order  inflow  during  2011-2012.  The  IC  has,  however, 
registered substantial growth in sales and profitability.

Business Environment

Recently,  India’s  installed  power  generation  capacity 
exceeded  the  milestone  of  200,000  MW,  still  much  lower 
than the installed capacity of 950,000 MW of China.India 
faces acute power shortages, slowing its economic engine. 

The planned capacity addition target of 76000 MW in the XII 
plan also look increasingly difficult to achieve, considering 
the  myriad  problems  plaguing  the  power  sector.  Over  the 
last 12 to 18 months, business opportunities for players in 
thermal power space have shrunk dramatically, despite high 
demand  for  power.  The  Power  industry  faced  unexpected 
headwinds on many fronts such as fuel shortages, difficulties 
in financial closure of new projects, delayed environmental 
clearance, land acquisition issues and the financial troubles 
of SEBs. The domestic coal and gas supply did not reach the 
expected levels. The domestic market for gas-based projects 
has, therefore, pretty much evaporated. The IC also faced 
intense competition from BHEL, Chinese equipment suppliers 
as  also  from  Korean  and  European  players,  battling  for 
shrinking opportunities with aggressive bidding strategies.

The  Union  Budget  2012  also  left  the  domestic  power 
equipment  industry  largely  disappointed.  The  much 
sought after demand for levy of duties on import of power 

equipment  from  China,  was  ignored,  and  the  market 
continues  to  be  dominated  by  Chinese  imports,  further 
supported by financing from Chinese banks.

Significant Initiatives

The  challenging  business  environment  necessitated  the 
introduction of a slew of initiatives to ensure that the growth 
plans  remain  on  track  and  the  IC  continue  to  build  on  its 
body of knowledge in the areas of super critical technology.

Considering the limited opportunity in the domestic market 
for  gas  based  projects,  the  IC  has  taken  steps  to  expand 
its  horizons  beyond  India  for  gas  based  projects.  The  IC 
is  exploring  opportunities  in  Asia  (Bangladesh,  Sri  Lanka, 
Malaysia, Indonesia & Thailand), Middle East (Saudi Arabia, 
Oman, Qatar) and Africa (presently only Gabon) as many of 
these countries have proven gas reserves, and fairly good gas 
transportation networks. The move to explore new frontiers 
will enable the IC to diversify its project profile and ride on 
the growth expected in these markets. 

A  Technical  Services  Support  Agreement  was  entered 
into  with  MHI  pursuant  to  which  the  IC  has  formed 
Engineering  &  Technology  Group  which  is  entrusted  with 
the responsibility to assimilate the best practices of MHI in 
Interface Engineering of Boiler, Turbine Generator, Balance 
of Plant and also for commissioning the projects. 

To increase operational efficiencies, the IC also came up with 
various improvements in execution methodologies. The IC 
is first in India to use the Strand Jack method for Generator 
Stator  erection  in  the  Krishnapatnam  project  and  Boiler 
erection  in  the  Rajpura  project.  With  a  view  to  develop  a 
pool of talented professionals with sound knowledge of the 
power industry, technologies and capabilities, the IC has set 
up the Power Training Institute at Vadodara in 2011-2012. 
With the objective of developing and sustaining a strong and 
reliable vendor base, the IC convened its first ever vendor 
meet  to  identify,  discuss  and  understand  the  needs  and 
solutions of vendors.

The IC is also in the process of setting up a Central Project 
Monitoring system. With this, it will be possible to remotely 
monitor  from  a  central  location  the  progress  at  various 
project sites across the country.

Outlook

The Government has recently taken certain measures, which 
indicate  its  seriousness  about  the  problems  plaguing  the 
power sector. The recent directive to Coal India to enter into 
long term Fuel Supply Agreements with power developers 
provides assurance of coal supply to all plants expected to 
be  commissioned  by  March  2015.  A  few  state  electricity 
distribution  companies  have  raised  their  tariffs  which  is  a 
big  positive  for  their  finances,  and  provides  the  necessary 
impetus to both state power generation companies and IPP’s 
to plan for new projects.

IC expects the first half of 2012-2013 to be challenging; the 
second half, however, seems promising with some awards 
materializing especially from state owned companies.

The focused initiatives taken by ICs in the overseas market 
will help getting awards in Asia for gas based projects. The 
IC also expects orders for civil packages in power plants from 
both private and public sector.

With existing order backlog and expected timely execution 
of all projects, the IC is confident to sustain the growth in 
sales and profitability in 2012-2013.

The IC with all its factories commissioned, offering of energy 
efficient solutions, a robust technology and manpower base 
with  relevant  capabilities,  is  poised  to  capitalize  on  the 
opportunities of the future.

Capacity  additions  in  Indian  Cement  and  Power  Sector 

during  2011-2012  helped  realise  revenue  growth  for 

Kansbahal’s  Industrial  Machinery  business  through  supply 

of Limestone and Coal Crushing Plants. Adoption of more 

energy-efficient processes in Indian Steel industry also saw 

continued demand for Torpedo Ladle Cars. Renewed focus 

by the State Governments on non-conventional energy has 

favoured  investment  in  wind  turbines.  Automotive  and 

Engineering Sectors fared better and showed good growth 

during 2011-2012 resulting in better performance in both 

our EWAC and Cutting tools business. 

The  year  2011-2012  saw  slowing  down  of  the  domestic 

market due to over-capacity in the conventional Car & Truck 

tyre  market.  However,  the  domestic  market  experienced 

green  field  investment  in  Off-the  Road  tyre.  Rubber 

Machinery Business secured a large order for OTR tyre curing 

presses against tough Chinese competition for this project. 

Rubber Machinery Business has been successful in getting 

project orders from some of the Japanese and European tyre 

companies  for  supplies  to  their  sites  in  Brazil  and  Russia. 
LTM BU moved to 8th Rank in the Global Rubber Machinery 
business in 2011-2012 from 13th Rank a year ago. LTM BU

EPCs  in  the  Middle  East  and  Far  East  were  leveraged  to 

enhance our market presence. However project investments 

in  North  America  and  Europe  continued  to  be  sluggish. 

Though  activity  in  domestic  mid  &  downstream  oil  &  gas 

segments  were  low,  fertilizer  and  power  sectors  offered 

potential  for  the  valves  business.  The  renewed  thrust  in 

the projects has helped the IC achieve the projected order 

booking  by  closely  working  with  EPCs.  With  rationalized 

product  portfolio,  IC  has  been  able  to  address  the  Power 

segment requirements in India and get breakthrough order 

for  Ultra  High  Pressure  valves  (above  #2500  rating)  for 

the supercritical power plant in India. Valves business also 

expanded into new segment of defence.

Despite the slow down in the mining activity in India during 

L&T’s Valves expanded approvals from key oil companies in 

the international market. This year, international valves sales 

network  has  been  strengthened  with  personnel  posted  in 

key growing markets such as Middle East and South Africa.

Business Environment

Significant Initiatives

Analysts are highly optimistic on the prospects of outsourcing 
business to India. With the economic slowdown, there is a 
pressure on American and European companies to leverage 
outsourcing for getting the benefits of value added services 
and cost arbitrage.

Engineering Research & Development (ER&D) outsourcing to 
India has shown remarkable growth from $8.3 Bn in 2009 
to $11.3 Bn in 2011. The Engineering Outsourcing market 
to India is expected to grow to $ 40-$ 45 billion by the year 
2020 with a CAGR of 16%. (Source: Nasscom)

Engineering Service Industry is on the cusp of a significant 
change,  shifting  to  knowledge-intensive  and  value-added 
services  that  call  for  a  new  way  of  functioning.  Besides 
cost  arbitrage,  the  need  to  scale  rapidly,  greater  focus  on 
core competencies, enhanced productivity, competition and 
reduced time to market are driving the business.

Revenue from North America contributes 70% of the total 
revenues, the visa policies of North America especially USA, 
therefore,  have  maximum  impact  on  IES’s  business.  To 
minimize this effect and to meet the business requirements, 
IES is also recruiting local talent. 

IES  being  in  an  export  oriented  service  business,  any 
fluctuation  in  the  foreign  currency  exchange  rate  has  a 
considerable impact on its performance. IES has undertaken 
a range of measures like hedging to minimize these exchange 
fluctuation impact.

ER&D outsourcing sector is predominantly a project based 
business.  IES  is  actively  working  to  increase  its  annuity 
business  portfolio  and  some  of  the  significant  long  term 
contracts won during the year are a testimony to that. 

A significant growth in ER&D market will be in the industry 
sectors  of  Transportation,  Industrial  Products  and  Plant 
Engineering. These sectors together will account for more 
than  70%  of  ER&D  market.  IES  is  uniquely  positioned  to 
have  strong  presence  in  each  of  these  industry  sectors  as 
compared to our domestic and international competitors. 

IES  has  taken  significant  initiatives  towards  propelling 
its  growth  so  as  to  grab  the  opportunity  with  a  focus 
on  Transportation, 
Industrial  Products  and  Plant 
Engineering verticals.

significantly over the years. Engineering Services is one such 
industry. During the current fiscal year, IES has been able to 
achieve a revenue growth of 60%. To cater to this growth, 
IES has added more than 1200 employees in the year and 
more than 50 clients including 15 fortune 500 companies.

With  the  initiatives  taken  in  2011-2012,  actions  planned 
in  the  next  year  and  addition  of  new  geographies,

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN A CHALLENGING 
ENVIRONMENT 

Good  revenue  growth,  healthy  order  book,  enhanced 
profit  and  strong  balance  sheet  are  the  highlights  of  the 
Company’s performance during 2011-2012. 

The  Company  garnered  fresh  orders  amounting  to 
v  70574  crore,  despite  decelerating  growth  momentum 
across  the  sectors  in  India  during  the  year  2011-2012. 
Order  Inflow  includes  proportionate  share  in  Integrated 
Joint  Ventures.  Lower  GDP  growth,  policy  uncertainties 
and  rising  borrowing  costs  led  to  deferment  of  various 
order prospects during the year 2011-2012. Moreover, stiff 
competition from international and domestic players posed 
considerable  challenges  in  converting  available  prospects 
into orders. Still Buildings & Factories, Infrastructure, Power 
Transmission  &  Distribution  and  Metallurgical  &  Material 

Handling  businesses  contributed  significantly  to  the  order 
inflows  during  the  year.  International  order  inflow  at 
v  12909  crore  during  the  year  2011-2012  recorded  an 
increase of 62% aided by concerted business development 
initiatives undertaken in select geographies. 

The Order Book including share in Integrated Joint Ventures 
at  the  close  of  the  year  was  healthy  at  v  145723  crore. 
Proven  track  record  in  the  various  business  segments, 
enhanced capacities and sector specific focus enabled the 
Company to achieve CAGR of 20% in its order book over 
the last 3 years.

Revenue from Operations 
Gross Revenue from Operations for the year at v 53738 crore 
registered a growth of 21% over 2010-2011 on the back 
of healthy Order Book at the start of the year. Most of the 
projects  progressed  well  as  scheduled,  in  particular,  EPC 
Power,  Buildings  &  Factories  and  Hydrocarbon  businesses 
contributed significantly to the Company’s Revenue growth. 
The  product  businesses,  however,  recorded  a  modest 
revenue  increase  with  sluggish  industrial  off-take  during 
the year 2011-2012. International Revenue grew by 38%, 
constituting 12% of the total Revenue, mostly contributed 
by various projects under execution in Power Transmission 
& Distribution, Infrastructure and Oil & Gas sectors in GCC 
countries  and  sales  by  Integrated  Engineering  Services 
business.

A compounded annual growth in Revenue of 20% over the 
last 3 years, reflects consistent good performance delivered 
over the years. 

Operating Cost
Manufacturing,  Construction  and  Operating  expenses  for 
the year 2011-2012 amounted to v 41020 crore, translating 
into 77.1% of the Net Revenue. As compared to the previous 
year, these costs increased by 90 basis points as the prices of 
key inputs were higher in the year 2011-2012. 

99

 
Depreciation & Amortization charge
Depreciation and amortisation charge for the year 2011-2012 
at  v  699  crore  increased  by  37%  over  the  previous  year 
reflecting the full impact of the additions to the fixed assets 
carried  out  in  the  previous  year  and  part  impact  of  the 
additions made during 2011-2012. 

Other Income 
Other Income for 2011-2012 amounted to v 1338 crore as 
against v 1147 crore for the previous year. Dividends from 
Group companies during the year amounted to v 408 crore 
as  against  v  229  crore  earned  in  2010-2011.  Temporary 
surplus  funds  invested  in  low  risk,  largely  interest-bearing 
short  term  investments,  earned  an  income  of  v 723  crore 
in 2011-2012 vis-à-vis v 516 crore in the previous year. The 
yield on these short-term investments was 8.90%. 

During  the  year,  the  Company  divested  its  part  stake  in 
Raykal  Aluminium  Company  Private  Limited,  a  subsidiary 
company  at  an  exceptional  gain  of  v 55  crore  (net  of  tax 
v 43 crore). The previous year included an exceptional gain 
of v 262 crore (net of tax v 211 crore). 

Finance cost
Interest  expense  for  2011-2012  amounted  to  v 666  crore 
with  an  average  borrowing  cost  of  7.8%  p.a.  as  against 
8.0%  p.a.  for  the  previous  year.  The  Company’s  loan 
portfolio is carefully balanced with a combination of suitably 
hedged foreign currency loans and domestic loans, tied-up 
at  appropriate  times.  This  has  enabled  the  Company  to 
reduce its average borrowing cost, despite weak INR, tight 
liquidity  conditions  and  high  interest  rates  regime  that 
prevailed throughout the year. 

Profit after tax and EPS
Profit after Tax (PAT) for the year 2011-2012 from normal 
operations  excluding  exceptional  and  extraordinary  items 

The Staff Expenses for the year 2011-2012 at v 3663 crore 
increased  by  29.4%  as  compared  to  the  previous  year, 
representing  6.9%  of  the  Net  Revenue.  There  was  a  net 
addition of 3637 employees during the year mainly to support 
higher  level  of  activities  in  Engineering  &  Construction 
businesses  and  Integrated  Engineering  Services  business. 
The  Company’s  manpower  strength  stood  at  48754  as  at 
March 31, 2012. 

Sales,  Administration  &  Other  expenses  for  2011-2012 
at  v  2204  crore  were  contained  at  4.1%  of  Net  Revenue 
as  against  4.5%  for  2010-2011,  reflecting  a  saving  of  40 
basis points, largely arising out of lower warranty provisions, 
reduction in packing & forwarding expenses and decrease in 
losses of Integrated Joint Ventures. The Sales, Administration 
& Other expenses for the year 2011-2012 comprised higher 
net exchange loss of v 459 crore largely arising from MTM 
valuation of exposures vis-à-vis v 193 crore for the previous 
year, as INR weakened significantly against USD during the 
year.

100

During  the  year,  fresh  investments  of  v  1684  crore  were 
made  in  the  equity  shares  of  subsidiary,  joint  venture  & 
associate  companies.  Investments  in  terms  of  loans,  inter-
corporate  deposits  and  advances  against  equity  to  the 
subsidiary & associate companies stood at v 3541 crore as on 
March 31, 2012 vis-à-vis v 2440 crore as on March 31, 2011. 
Major  investments  have  been  made  in  Developmental

stood  at v  4413  crore  recording  an  increase  of  20%  over 
the PAT of v 3676 crore for the previous year. 

Overall PAT including extraordinary and exceptional items, for 
the year 2011-2012 was v 4457 crore vis-à-vis v 3958 crore 
for the year 2010-2011.

The  Earnings  per  Share  (EPS)  excluding  exceptional  and 
extraordinary items for 2011-2012 at v 72.22 improved by 
19% over the previous year. 

Over  a  period  of  last  3  years,  PAT  registered  a  compound 
growth of 18%. 

Funds Employed and Returns
With  continued  thrust  on  capacity  augmentation,  the 
Company  invested  v  1730  crore  in  2011-2012  mainly  to 
acquire various plant and equipment for the businesses in 
Engineering and Construction segment and for expansion 
of  the  Modular  Fabrication  Yard  at  Kattupalli,  Tamilnadu. 
The manufacturing facilities at Vadodara and Ahmednagar 
for the Electrical and Electronics business segment are being 
ramped up to improve the competitiveness of the business. 

Gross  Working  capital  as  at  March  31,  2012  was 
v  39287  crore,  representing  73.1%  of  sales  vis-à-vis 
71.5%  as  at  the  end  of  the  previous  year.  The  increase 
was  mainly  due  to  increase  in  customer  receivables.  Net 
Customer  Receivables  as  at  the  end  of  the  year  stood  at 
v 18730  crore,  reflecting  127  Days  of  Sales,  higher  by  25 

Days sales over the previous year. The customer receivables 
as on March 31, 2012 included v 12393 crore contractually 
not  due.  The  balance  customer  receivables  which  were 
contractually due as on March 31, 2012 have increased by 
7 days sales over the previous year. 

Net Working capital as at March 31, 2012 also increased over 
the previous year due to lower advances from customers, as 
anticipated orders were not received. 

Accordingly, the overall Funds Employed by the Company at 
v 35252 crore as at March 31, 2012 increased by v 5981 crore 
as compared to the previous year end position.

Return  on  Net  Worth  (RONW)  for  the  year  2011-2012  is 
at  18.8%  as  against  18.3%  for  the  previous  year.  Return 
on Capital Employed (ROCE) for the year 2011-2012 is at 
15.1% quite close to the ROCE of 15.0% for the previous 
year.  The  new  facilities  created  in  the  recent  past  for  the 
various  businesses  of  the  Company,  are  yet  to  reach  their 
optimum  utilization  levels.  Moreover,  the  investments  in 
emerging businesses housed in subsidiary companies such 
as  shipbuilding,  power  development  and  heavy  forgings

on the jobs by Power, Buildings & Factories and Hydrocarbon 
businesses.  This  revenue  growth  was  achieved  despite 
deferment  of  some  of  the  anticipated  orders  and  delays 
in obtaining clearances in a few projects under execution. 

During  the  year,  the  Segment  secured  orders  totaling  to 
v 63573 crore vis-à-vis order inflow of v 73602 crore during 
the previous year. International orders constituting 18% of 
the total order inflow grew by 70% over the previous year. 
The  business  environment  was  highly  challenging  during 
the year as investment momentum paused in Power sector, 
intense competition witnessed in the Oil & Gas sector and 
policy delays led to deferment of bidding process in Fertilizer 
and Defence sectors.

The  Order  Book  of  the  Segment  stood  at  a  healthy 
v  143448  crore  as  at  March  31,  2012  with  international 
orders constituting 12% of the total order book.

are  in  the  construction  stage.  Many  of  the  BOT  projects 
are either in the construction stage or in their early phase 
of  commercial  operations.  As  a  result,  the  increase  in  net 
earnings  is  moderate  as  compared  to  the  addition  to  net 
funds employed, leading to muted return profile.

Economic  Value  Added  from  normal  operations  stands 
positive  at  v  430  crore  for  2011-2012.  The  trend  during 
the  past  three  years  reflects  the  investment  phase  for  the 
company.

Liquidity & Gearing
During the year 2011-2012 the cash accruals from operations 
were lower at v 1082 crore as compared to the previous year, 
mainly due to increase in net working capital, despite higher 
net earnings. The Company incurred capital expenditure of 
v 1730 crore and made investment in group companies of 
v 2139 crore. Fresh borrowings and proceeds from sale of 
short  term  investments  supplemented  the  accruals  from 
operations to fund these investments. 

During  the  year  2011-2012,  some  of  the  expensive  loans 
were repaid and fresh loans were raised at relatively lower 
interest rates.

business of the Segment.

job mix, the Segment recorded Operating Margin of 12.6% 
in  2011-2012  with  efficient  management  of  costs  and 
superior execution capabilities. 

Electrical & Electronics Segment
Gross Segment Revenue of Electrical & Electronics business 
stood at v 3579 crore for 2011-2012 recording a moderate 
growth  of  11.5%  due  to  subdued  industrial  demand  and 
intense  competition.  International  sales  at  v  343  crore 
registered  69%  growth,  driven  by  Electrical  Systems  & 
Equipment  (ESE)  business.  International  Sales  revenue 
constituted 10% of the total revenue as against 6% during 
the corresponding previous year.

The businesses of the Segment reeled under the pressure of 
higher input costs and intense competition. During the year 
2011-2012, the EBITDA Margin of the Segment was 12.0% 
vis-à-vis 15.6% for the year 2010-2011.

marginally  lower  as  compared  to  19.4%  for  2010-2011. 
Despite  favourable  foreign  currency  rates,  the  EBITDA 
margin was lower, due to large capacity addition undertaken 
during the year to support future growth aspirations. 

II.  RISK MANAGEMENT
The company is predominantly engaged in the engineering 
and construction business with a high dependence on the 
core  sectors  of  the  economy.  With  increasing  focus  on 
international  operations  and  extensive  assortment  of  risks 
associated  with  turnkey  projects,  our  long-term  success 
largely depends on how effectively we identify and analyze 
the  risks  involved  in  a  project  and  manage  them  to  our 
competitive advantage.

The  Company  strongly  believes  that  its  Risk  Management 
culture  should  pervade  the  whole  enterprise  instead  of 
being  restricted  to  a  few  silos  and  has,  therefore,  actively 
pursued  a  uniform  risk  framework  and  understanding 
across the organization. Continuing on this belief, besides 
employing an efficient risk management structure in its main 
businesses  of  engineering  and  construction,  the  company 
has also succeeded in establishing a similar risk management 
structure in its product businesses, as well as in all its major 
subsidiary companies. 

The current slowdown in investment momentum witnessed 
in  almost  all  sectors  of  the  economy,  coupled  with  high 
inflation  and  interest  rates,  volatile  financial  markets  and 
delayed policy intervention are posing considerable challenge 
to the growth of the core sector with fewer projects coming 
up for capacity augmentation. The sluggish economy of the 
developed countries has further intensified the competition 
with  more  number  of  foreign  players  vying  for  a  share  of 
the limited pie. Despite all these challenges, the company, 
by  leveraging  on  its  Enterprise  Risk  Management  (ERM) 
culture and past record of excellence in project execution, 
has  been  able  to  secure  orders  against  stiff  domestic  and 
international competition. On strategic front, opportunities 
in international geographies and markets are being exploited 
to its fullest potential in order to counter the risk of business 
momentum slowdown in domestic markets of the company.

The  key  to  successful  project  execution  lies  in  timely 
completion  and  cost  management.  The  well-established 
process  of  detailed  pre-bid  risk  review  not  only  helps  in 
realistic estimation of project cost, but also facilitates early 
identification  of  the  key  risks  in  the  project  and  devising 
informed mitigation strategy. Once a project order is won, 
the process of risk review continues throughout the project 
lifecycle. The project team and business heads, facilitated by 

104

the risk management committee, continuously monitor the 
impact of new risks emerging during the execution phase 
and take appropriate mitigation steps. 

Information  technology  plays  a  very  important  role  in 
achieving  business  goals  and  hence  it  becomes  essential 
for  the  company  to  have  sound  risk  management  in  this 
area. The company has integrated its Information Security 
initiatives with its overall risk management framework and 
enhanced such security by deploying latest technology and 
improving  the  monitoring  processes.  Business  Continuity 
and Disaster Recovery systems are constantly upgraded with 
state-of-the-art  tools  for  replication,  and  performing  drills 
to ensure unhindered availability of data and systems at all 
times. 

Each  business  group  follows  a  well-documented  risk 
management  policy  and  procedures  framed  around  the 
uniqueness of the businesses. Risk Management offices in 
each business along with the Corporate Risk Management 
representatives  actively  participate  in  the  risk  review 
process and also continuously assess the ERM structure for 
improvements. 

The year saw a sharp volatility of Indian Rupee against US 
Dollar.  The  company  has  a  well-defined  hedging  policy 
wherein a joint committee of the respective Business Heads 
and  the  Treasury  department  decides  on  the  hedging 
strategy for all projects. This helps in effectively insulating the 
company against the risk of foreign exchange fluctuations. 

A significantly large part of the company’s business portfolio 
being made up of project business, is exposed to a variety of 
risks. The large volume of procurement and sub-contracting 
across various countries poses the challenge of appropriate 
cost estimation for long duration LSTK contracts. Successful 
implementation of international projects requires knowledge 
of the regulatory and taxation laws of respective countries. 
Talent acquisition in remote project sites becomes difficult in 
many cases. The risk management process gives a platform 
to  discuss  all  such  critical  risks  and  their  mitigation  plans 
which in turn brings in transparency and predictability in the 
project management process. 

The company is a member of the Engineering & Construction 
Risk Institute (ECRI), USA and actively participates in training 
and knowledge sharing sessions with its peers. As a part of 
risk assurance, the company’s risk management policy and 
procedures  are  periodically  reviewed  and  revised  to  align 
with changing business needs and the demands of the new 
organisation structure. Corporate Audit Service also conducts 
independent reviews of risk management processes to check 
their  effectiveness.  The  Audit  Committee  of  the  Board  is 
periodically informed about the significant risks, functioning 
of the risk management process and various initiatives taken 

for improvement in the risk management framework of the 
company.

Internal Controls
The growing business activities and restructuring of business 
processes  call  for  a  constant  review  of  the  efficacy  of  the 
company’s internal control mechanism. The company has an 
internal process for such a review to facilitate formulation 
and  revision  of  policies  and  guidelines  to  align  with  the 
changing needs.

A  corporate  policy  on  internal  control  is  in  place  which 
provides  structured  framework  for 
identification, 
rectification,  monitoring  and  reporting  of  internal  control 
weaknesses in the company. Various business segments of 
the company have also created well documented policies, 
authorization guidelines and standard operating procedures 
as  per  their  business  requirements.  There  is  a  separate 
process in the company which oversees the guidelines and 
implementation of internal controls in business processes.

Apart from having all policies, procedures and internal audit 
mechanism in place, the company also periodically engages 
an  expert  consulting  firm  to  carry  out  an  independent 
review  of  the  effectiveness  of  various  business  processes. 
The observations and good practices suggested are reviewed 
by the Management and Audit Committee and appropriately 
implemented  for  strengthening  the  controls  of  various 
business processes. 

The  effectiveness  of  internal  control  mechanism  is  also 
continuously  reviewed  by  Corporate  Audit  Services.  The 
statutory auditor, during the process of financial audit, checks 
the internal control efficacy. All significant observations and 
corrective actions taken are reviewed by the Management 
and Audit Committee of the Board. 

III.  FINANCIAL RISKS
a)  Capital Structure, Liquidity and Interest rate risks
Over  the  years,  the  Company’s  strategy  of  keeping  a 
conservative  capital  structure  has  positioned  it  well 
in  managing  the  economic  volatility  and  at  the  same 
time, also providing the flexibility for funding growth. 
With  an  objective  of  maintaining  a  healthy  credit 
profile, the Company has consciously followed a policy 
of  restricting  its  financial  leverage.  This  policy,  apart 
from contributing to a strong balance sheet, provides 
flexibility  for  future  fund  raising  options,  which  is  of 
significance given the recent volatility in global markets.

The  Company  holds  necessary  levels  of  liquidity, 
judiciously  deployed  into  short  term  investments  in 
line  with  the  corporate  treasury  policy.  In  addition, 
the  company  regularly  assesses  and  maintains  other 

means of sourcing liquidity, such as ready lines with the 
banking system and quick access to capital markets. The 
company regularly evaluates the right levels of liquidity 
in line with business needs and economic factors. 

To manage interest rate risks, the Company uses a mix 
of fund-raising and investment products across maturity 
profiles,  and  adopts  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 financial assets and liabilities. The business 
related  financial  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 
optimizing borrowing costs. Appropriate hedging tools 
are  used  under  the  framework  of  a  Board  approved 
Risk Management Policy. Financial risks in each business 
portfolio  are  measured  and  managed  centrally.  These 
risks are reviewed periodically and managed in line with 
the objective laid out in the Risk Management Policy of 
the Company. The process is also subject to an annual 
review by the Audit Committee.

IV.  GETTING THE BEST OUT OF INFORMATION 
TECHNOLOGY FOR BUSINESS BENEFITS

The  company  is  of  the  firm  belief  that  Information 
Technology is a key enabler for employee productivity and 
business  efficiency.  Every  business  of  the  company  is  well 
supported by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system 
to  carry  out  its  business  processes  and  to  take  care  of  all 
transaction  processing  needs.  Most  businesses  have  niche 
application  systems  to  complement  the  ERP  and  perform 
special functions to provide a competitive advantage. During 
the year the company has also deployed CRM systems for 
marketing specific to the project business, PLM systems for 
better  connect  with  bidding,  engineering  ,  execution  and 
BI  systems  for  providing  better  information  for  decision 
making. The company has re architected and upgraded its 
systems periodically to prevent obsolescence and to ensure 
better business IT alignment. 

The use of advanced networking and communications has 
facilitated team collaboration, with savings in travel costs. IT 
infrastructure has been enhanced and expanded to provide 
reliability,  security  and  availability.  A  new  state-of-the-art 
Data center at Powai has been one such initiative that was 
successfully completed during the year.

105

 
 
 
 
 
Modern technology initiatives are pursued after due scrutiny 
and evaluation; a pilot deployment of mobile applications 
has been done as a prelude to more applications that are 
on the anvil. We see Cloud computing emerging as a major 
change in IT delivery model and in sync with this trend, the 
foundations  for  a  Private  Cloud  are  being  built  that  will 
leverage all the cloud computing models and technologies 
to  reduce  costs,  provide  better  performance  and  elastic 
capacity on demand.

The IT function in the company continues to focus on value 
delivery,  security,  superior  customer  service  and  complete 
alignment with business as its cornerstones of performance.

V.  CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES 
A sense of responsibility towards society and environment 
is  demonstrated  through  our  culture  of  trust  and  caring. 
L&T has adopted sound business practices, be it in natural 
resources  management,  social  harmony  or  corporate 
governance, the practices are in sync with our value system.

The company is disclosing the economic, environmental and 
social performance through Corporate Sustainability Reports 
since 2008 as per GRI (Global Reporting Initiatives) guideline 
in public domain. 

As part of sustainability journey, L&T’s various businesses have 
adopted  sustainability  approach  encompassing  initiatives 
covering  natural  &  energy  resource  conservation,  water 
efficiency, waste reduction and product innovation. This is 
strengthened  through  commitment  of  top  management, 
robust processes and policy formulation.

The  company  actively  works  towards  development  of 
underprivileged communities especially around our area of 
operations. Mother & child health, primary education and 
skill building are the key thrust areas for community welfare.

Mechanisms to monitor and facilitate these developmental 
activities  on  the  social  front  are  systemic.  L&T  units  and 
project sites are encouraged to undertake programmes that 
benefit  the  community.  Employee  volunteers  and  spouses 
of  employees  are  important  drivers  of  our  community 
development  initiatives.  Through  a  network  of  L&T  units, 

offices  and  project  sites  spread  across  the  country  we  are 
able  to  reach  a  significant  number  of  beneficiaries  of  our 
social interventions. 

The  company  has  put  in  place  an  Environmental  and 
social  risk  management  framework  to  proactively  address 
environmental  and  social  issues  in  the  planning  stage  of 
products & services. This ensures that negative impacts on 
environment are mitigated or controlled effectively. 

Since  2008,  L&T  has  been  conducting  carbon  footprint 
mapping  of  its  operations  that  enables  to  determine 
the  annual  GHG  emissions.  This  level  of  comprehensive 
quantification  is  helping  to  strategically  plan  and  monitor 
our emission intensity.

At L&T our objective is to progressively drive design expertise, 
operational  efficiency  and  maintenance  efforts  towards 
cleaner  and  greener  technologies.  We  have  implemented 
many  eco-friendly  initiatives  such  as,  ‘Zero  wastewater 
Discharge Approach’ and presently 15 of L&T locations have 
achieved zero discharge status. All wastewater generated is 
treated, and reused within the units. 

L&T’s  energy  conservation  practices  not  only  result  in 
environment protection but also result in cost optimization. 
The company focuses on state of the art technology, cleaner 
processes  and  propagating  energy  optimization  culture. 
Biodiversity conservation is consciously implemented across 
the  company  and  we  have  done  GIS  based  biodiversity 
assessment of key campuses.

The  Corporate  Social  Initiatives  (CSI)  cell  of  the  company 
engages  with  local  stakeholders,  community  leaders  and 
NGOs to identify and assess community needs, in order to 
plan and develop social interventions. The CSI apex set-up 
based in Mumbai works closely with respective L&T offices 
to  bring  in  uniform  approach,  consistency,  monitoring 
mechanism  and  to  scale  up  community  initiatives  across 
various locations. 

The  Company’s  Working  on  Wellness  (WoW)  initiative 
caters to overall employee wellbeing while ensuring that a 
preventive and curative approach is adopted for occupational 
health care.

Besides high capital costs the power industry is facing 
lot of challenges over the availability of critical resources 
viz.  land,  water  and  coal  linkages.  Many  power 
producers are holding back their expansion plan which 
has sharply reduced the business opportunities of the 
power equipment manufacturers. Considering that the 
energy  security  is  paramount  to  achieve  the  desired 
GDP growth of the economy, recently the Government 

has taken several measures to give impetus for power 
infrastructure to meet the growing energy demand. 

The competition has intensified with many international 
players  having  presence  in  Indian  market  and  able  to 
get their share of business during last couple of years. 
The  aggressive  pricing  and  delivery  terms  from  the 
Chinese  power  equipment  manufacturers  has  also 
added to severe pressure on the pricing.

like fuel availability, land acquisition and environmental 
clearances.  With  enhancing  capacity  of  domestic 
players  and  entry  of  international  players  by  forming 
joint  ventures  with  local  companies,  the  competition 
has intensified.

  With the impetus to the power sector and the benefits 
of super critical technology, the Company is confident 
of  meeting  the  market  requirements  with  focused 
efforts  to  manufacture/deliver  the  products  and  to

Limited was incorporated as a public limited company 
on  November  22,  1994  to  provide  a  comprehensive 
range of financial products and services. It is registered 
with RBI as a non-deposit taking non-banking financial 
company.

During  2011-2012,  LTF  recorded  an  improvement  in 
major  performance  parameters.  This  was  facilitated 
by  the  growth  in  its  business  segments,  increased 
investment in infrastructure and higher rural incomes. 
The  positive  environment  for  raising  resources  was 
also  a  contributor  to  the  improved  performance.  The 
highlights of the Company’s financial performance are

expected to offer multiple opportunities for launching 
new  offerings  in  2012-2013  coupled  with  intense 
competition  from  banks  and  peer  companies.  In  the 
absence of clear trend on interest rate movements, the 
ability to maintain net interest margin and good asset 
quality would be value drivers.

Government’s policy to encourage significant capacity addition provides various growth opportunities for private power 
developers. Several large projects (including Ultra Mega Power Projects and Case-2 Bids) are in the pipeline and shall 
soon come up for development by private players. Apart from this, private players are also developing merchant power 
plants considering the continuing peak deficit scenario in the Indian Power Sector. This throws up many opportunities

Notes: 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. Refer Note no.Q(8)(ii)(f)(7) below.

The  Company  expects  to  fund v  48.56  crore (previous year: v 27.11 crore)  towards  its  gratuity  plan  and v  84.45  crore 
(previous year: v 78.63 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2012-2013.

Employer’s and employees’ contribution (net) for March is paid in April.

b) 

For gratuity plan the attrition rate varies from 1% to 6% (previous year: 1% to 6%) for various age groups.

The  estimates  of  future  salary  increases,  considered  in  actuarial  valuation,  take  into  account  inflation,  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 Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial losses.

The obligation of the Company under the post-retirement medical benefit 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 defined benefit plans:

1.  Gratuity plan:

The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to 
fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service. The same is payable on termination of service or 
retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five 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 benefit plan:

The  Post-retirement  medical  benefit  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 notified 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 benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.

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 
recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising out of the investment

risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognized as expense or income in the period in which such 
loss/gain occurs. Further, an amount of v 18.68 crore has been provided based on actuarial valuation towards the 
future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan.

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT 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 fixed assets in compliance with the provisions of the Companies 
Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 prescribed by the central 
government. Further, the guidance notes / announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also 
considered, wherever applicable except to the extent where compliance with other statutory promulgations viz. SEBI guidelines override 
the same requiring a different treatment.

The preparation of financial 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 financial statements. Examples of such estimates include the 
useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement 
benefit plans, etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognized in the period in which the results are 
known.

2.  Presentation of financial statements

The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Schedule VI to the 
Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”). The Cash Flow Statement has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Accounting 
Standard (AS) 3 “Cash Flow Statements”. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance Sheet and Statement of 
Profit and Loss, as prescribed in the Schedule VI to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of accounts along with the 
other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the Listing Agreement.

Amounts in the financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees in crore [1 crore = 10 million] rounded off to two decimal places 
in line with the requirements of Schedule VI. Per share data are presented in Indian Rupees to two decimals places.

3.  Revenue recognition

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

A.  Revenue from operations

a) 

Sales & service

i) 

ii) 

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  manufactured  and  traded  goods  is  recognized  when  the  substantial  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.

iii)  Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant 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.

iv)  Revenue  from  construction/project  related  activity  and  contracts  for  supply/commissioning  of  complex  plant  and 

equipment is recognized as follows:

a)  Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as 

agreed with the customer.

b) 

Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of cost incurred till such time the outcome 
of  the  job  cannot  be  ascertained  reliably.  When  the  outcome  of  the  contract  is  ascertained  reliably,  contract 
revenue is recognized at cost of work performed on the contract plus proportionate margin, using the percentage 
of completion method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the 
total estimated contract costs.

Government grants in the nature of subsidy related to customer contracts is recognized as revenue from operations 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss, on a prudent basis, in proportion to work completed when there is reasonable 
assurance that the conditions for the grant of subsidy will be fulfilled.

Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

Expected loss, if any, on the construction/project related activity is recognized 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.

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 recognized on the same basis as similar contracts independently executed by the 
Company.

vi)  Revenue from service related activities is recognized using the proportionate completion method.

vii)  Commission income is recognized as and when the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

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

ix)  Profit/loss on contracts executed by Integrated Joint Ventures under profit-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.

b)  Other operational revenue

Other operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognized when 
the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract. 

B.  Other Income:

i) 

Interest income is accrued at applicable interest rate.

ii)  Dividend income is accounted in the period in which the right to receive the same is established.

iii)  Other Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the related costs, are recognized 

as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the matching costs are incurred.

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

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 
classified  as  extraordinary  items.  Specific  disclosure  of  such  events/transactions  is  made  in  the  financial  statements.  Similarly,  any 
external event beyond the control of the Company, significantly 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 classified as an 
exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in the notes to accounts.

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) 

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

iii)  The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset

iv)  The  manner  in  which  the  probable  future  economic  benefits  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

v) 

The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the 
intangible asset and

6.  Employee benefits

a) 

Short term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee 
benefits. The benefits 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.

b) 

Post-employment benefits:

i) 

Defined contribution plans: The Company’s superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund scheme, employee state 
insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the 
schemes is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

ii)  Defined benefit plans: The employees gratuity fund schemes, post-retirement medical care scheme, pension scheme and 
provident fund scheme managed by trust are the Company’s defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation 
under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining the 
present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yield on government securities of a maturity 
period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the related obligations at the Balance Sheet date.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The interest element in the actuarial valuation of defined benefit plans, which comprises the implicit interest cost and the impact 
of changes in discount rate, is classified under finance costs. The balance charge is recognised as employee benefit expenses in 
the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans 
to recognise the obligation on a net basis.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit 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 benefits become 
vested.

c) 

Long term employee benefits:

The obligation for long term employee benefits such as long term compensated absences, long service award etc. is recognised 
in the similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b)(ii) above.

d) 

Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under Voluntary Retirement cum Pension Scheme are recognised as expense in the 
period in which they are incurred.

7.  Tangible Fixed assets

and those which were revalued as on October 1,1984 are stated at the values determined by the valuers less accumulated depreciation 
and cumulative impairment. Assets acquired on hire purchase basis are stated at their cash values. Specific know-how fees paid, if 
any, relating to plant and equipment is treated as part of cost thereof.

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

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

Tangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-progress”.

(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 the lease rentals and depreciation provided in the books.

finance 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.

ii)  Assets given under a finance 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.

iii) 

Initial direct costs relating to assets given on finance leases are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Operating leases:

i) 

Assets acquired on leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are 
classified as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis.

ii)  Assets leased out under operating leases are capitalised. Rental income is recognised on accrual basis over the lease term.

(Also refer to policy on depreciation, infra)

9.  Depreciation

31, 1968 (at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956) and on straight line method on assets 
acquired subsequently (at the rates prevailing at the time of their acquisition on assets acquired up to September 30, 1987 
and at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 on assets acquired after that date). However,

the asset is allocated over its remaining useful life.

b) 

Leased assets

i) 

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.

ii) 

Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:

Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight line basis 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.

iii) 

Leasehold land

Land acquired under long term lease is classified under “tangible assets” and is depreciated over the period of lease.

10.  Intangible assets and amortization

Intangible  assets  are  stated  at  original  cost  net  of  tax/duty  credits  availed,  if  any,  less  accumulated  amortization  and  cumulative 
impairment. Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset 
will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised over their useful life as 
follows:

a) 

Specialised software: over a period of six years.

b) 

Technical know-how: over a period of six years in case of foreign technology and three years in the case of indigenous technology.

c)  Development costs for new products: over a period of five years.

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

Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “Intangible assets under development”.

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.

Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

11.  Impairment of assets

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

a) 

the provision for impairment loss, if any; and

b) 

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) 

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

b) 

in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), 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 flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its 
disposal at the end of its useful life).

12.  Investments

Trade investments comprise investments in subsidiary companies, joint ventures, associate companies and in the entities in which the 
Company has strategic business interest.

Investments, which are readily realizable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition, are 
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments.

Long term investments including trade investments are carried at cost, after providing for any diminution in value, if such diminution 
is other than temporary in nature. Investments in integrated joint ventures are carried at cost net of adjustments for Company’s share 
in profits or losses as recognised.

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.

13.  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.

Borrowing costs include interest, commitment charges, amortization of ancillary costs, amortization of discounts / premium related 
to borrowings, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign currency 
borrowings, to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized/inventorised 
as part of cost of such asset till such time 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 Stock Options Scheme, 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

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:

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 recognized 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 firm 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.

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

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.

f)  All the other derivative contracts, including forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks on unexecuted firm 
commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the financial 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 Statement of Profit and Loss 
or Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge effectiveness. Where the hedge in respect of off-balance 
sheet items is effective, the gains or losses are recognised in the “hedging reserve” which forms part of “reserves and surplus” 
in the Balance Sheet. The amount recognised in the “hedging reserve” is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the 
period in which the underlying hedged item affects the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains or losses in respect of ineffective 
hedges are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which such gains or losses are incurred.

g) 

The premium paid/received on a foreign currency forward contract is accounted as expense/income over the life of the contract.

19.  Segment accounting

a) 

Segment accounting policies

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

i) 

ii) 

Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with/allocable to the segment including inter segment 
revenue.

Expenses  that  are  directly  identifiable  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”.

iii) 

Income  which  relates  to  the  Company  as  a  whole  and  not  allocable  to  segments  is  included  in  “unallocable  corporate 
income”.

iv)  Segment result includes margins on inter-segment capital jobs, which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the 

Company.

v) 

Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable 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.

20.  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 financial statements and the taxable income for 
the year, and quantified 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 sufficient 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 sufficient future 
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

Income on investments in incorporated jointly controlled entities is recognised when the 
right to receive the same is established.

Investment in such joint ventures is carried at cost after providing for any diminution in 
value which is other than temporary in nature.

Joint  venture  interests  accounted  as  above,  other  than  investments  in  incorporated  jointly  controlled  entities,  are  included  in  the 
segments to which they relate.

22.  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised for liabilities that can be measured only by using a substantial degree of estimation, if

a) 

b) 

c) 

the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event

a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation and

the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

Reimbursement expected in respect of expenditure required to settle a provision is recognised only when it is virtually certain that the 
reimbursement will be received.

Contingent liability is disclosed in case of

a) 

b) 

c) 

a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation

a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible

a possible obligation arising from past events where the probability of outflow of resources is not remote.

Contingent assets are neither recognised, nor disclosed.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

23.  Commitments

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure. Commitments are classified and disclosed as follows:

a) 

Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for

b)  Uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid

c) 

Funding related commitment to subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies and

including the defect liability period, wherever applicable and extends up to the realization of receivables (including retention monies) 
within the agreed credit period normally applicable to the respective lines of business.

25.  Cash Flow Statement

Cash  flow  statement  is  prepared  segregating  the  cash  flows  from  operating,  investing  and  financing  activities.  Cash  flow  from 
operating activities is reported using indirect method. Under the indirect method, the net profit is adjusted for the effects of:

I. 

transactions of a non-cash nature

II. 

any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and

III. 

items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) are reflected as such in the cash flow statement. Those cash and cash equivalents 
which are not available for general use as on the date of Balance Sheet are also included under this category with a specific disclosure.

Consolidated Financial Statements 2011-2012

Auditors’ Report to the Board of Directors of Larsen & Toubro Limited 
on Consolidated Financial 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, 2012 and also the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement 
for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 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  financial  statements  are  prepared,  in  all  material  respects,  in 
accordance  with  an  identified  financial  reporting  framework  and  are  free  of  material  misstatements.  An  audit  includes  examining,  on 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements. We believe that our 
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In respect of the financial 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 reflected in the consolidated financial statements are given below:

In respect of the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, we did not carry out the audit. These financial 
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

We  further  report  that  in  respect  of  certain  subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  ventures,  we  did  not  carry  out  the  audit.  These  financial 
statements have been certified 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 certified financial statements. 

Since the financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2012, which were compiled by management of these companies, 
were not audited, any adjustments to their balances could have consequential effects on the attached consolidated financial statements. 
However, the size of these subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, in the consolidated position is not significant in relative terms. The 
details of assets and revenues in respect of these subsidiaries and joint ventures and the net carrying cost of investment and current year/

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” notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) 
Rules, 2006 and on the basis of the separate audited/certified financial statements of the L&T Group included in the consolidated financial 
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 financial statements of the L&T Group, we are of the opinion that the said consolidated financial statements, 
read together with notes thereon, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

a) 

in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the L&T Group as at March 31, 2012

b) 

c)

ended on that date and

Notes: 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 [Note no.9(ii)(f)(7)].
The Company expects to fund v 64.51 crore (previous year: v 34.36 crore) towards its gratuity plan and v 114.42 crore 
(previous year: v 98.94 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2012-2013.
Employer’s and employees’ contribution (net) for March is paid in April.
Employer’s contribution to provident fund

The  estimates  of  future  salary  increases,  considered  in  actuarial  valuation,  take  into  account  inflation,  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 Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial losses.

The obligation of the Company under the post-retirement medical benefit 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.

The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to 
fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service. The same is payable on termination of service or 
retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five 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 benefit plan:

The  Post-retirement  medical  benefit  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 notified 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 benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.

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 
recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising out of the investment 
risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognized as expense or income in the period in which such loss/
gain occurs. Further, an amount of v 20.61crore has been provided based on actuarial valuation towards the future 
obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan.

accounting principles [“GAAP”] except for the revaluation of certain fixed assets in compliance with the provisions of the Companies 
Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 prescribed by the Central 
Government. Further, the guidance notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also 
considered,  wherever  applicable,  except  to  the  extent  where  compliance  with  other  statutory  promulgations  viz.  SEBI  guidelines 
override the same requiring a different treatment. 

The preparation of financial 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 financial statements. Examples of such estimates include the 
useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement 
benefit plans, etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognized 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 specified 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 financial 
statements.

of completion method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date to the 
total estimated contract costs.

Government grants in the nature of subsidy related to customer contracts is recognized as revenue from operations 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss, on a prudent basis, in proportion to work completed when there is reasonable 
assurance that the conditions for the grant of subsidy will be fulfilled.

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. 

v) 

Revenue  from  construction/project  related  activity  and  contracts  executed  in  joint  ventures  under  work-sharing

are accounted when the amount is due and recovery is certain. Licence fees for way-side amenities are accounted 
on  accrual  basis.  Revenue  from  annuity  based  projects  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  over  the 
concession period of the respective projects based on the implicit rate of return embedded in the projected cash flows. 
Such income is duly adjusted for any variation in the amount and timing of the cash flows in the period in which such

and income is accrued over the period of the agreement in terms of which services are performed. Portfolio management 
fees are recognized in accordance with Portfolio Management Agreement entered with respective clients over the 
period of the agreement in terms of which the services are rendered. Trusteeship fees are accounted on an accrual

after adjusting for unearned premium (unexpired risk) and premium deficiency, if any. Premium deficiency, 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

a daily pro-rata basis, written on policies during the twelve months preceding the Balance Sheet date for fire, 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% 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. 

Profit commission under reinsurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognized in the year of final determination of 
the profits.

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 specific claim settlement costs such as survey/legal fees and 
other directly attributable costs.

Claims  (net  of  amounts  receivable  from  reinsurers/co-insurers)  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 certified by the appointed actuary of

Interest income is accrued at applicable interest rate.

ii)  Dividend income is accounted in the period in which the right to receive the same is established. 

iii)  Other Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the related costs, are recognized 

as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the matching costs are incurred.

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

4.  Principles of consolidation

a) 

b) 

The financial 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 unrealized profits/losses on intra-group transactions, and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as the 
Parent Company’s independent financial 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 recognize any decline which is other than 
temporary in nature and such determination of decline in value, if any, is made for each investment individually. The unrealized 
profits/losses on transactions with associate companies are eliminated by reducing the carrying amount of investment.

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 profits/losses on intra-group transactions.

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

5.  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 
classified  as  extraordinary  items.  Specific  disclosure  of  such  events/transactions  is  made  in  the  financial  statements.  Similarly,  any 
external event beyond the control of the Company, significantly 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 classified as an 
exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in the notes to accounts. 

6.  Research and development

Other development costs that do not meet above criteria are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

7.  Employee benefits

a) 

Short term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee 
benefits. The benefits 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. 

b) 

Post-employment benefits:

i)

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

ii)  Defined benefit plans: The employees gratuity fund schemes, post-retirement medical care scheme, pension scheme and 
provident fund scheme managed by trust are the Company’s defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation 
under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method. 

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining 
the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yield on government securities of 
a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the related obligations at the Balance Sheet date. 

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. 

The interest element in the actuarial valuation of defined benefit plans, which comprises the implicit interest cost and the 
impact of changes in discount rate, is classified under finance cost and balance charge is recognised as employee benefit 
expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit 
plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.

Gains  or  losses  on  the  curtailment  or  settlement  of  any  defined  benefit  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 
benefits become vested.

c)

d) 

Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under Voluntary Retirement cum Pension Scheme are recognised as expense in the 
period in which they are incurred.

impairment and those which were revalued as on October 1,1984 are stated at the values determined by the valuers less accumulated 
depreciation and cumulative impairment. Assets acquired on hire purchase basis are stated at their cash values. Specific know-how 
fees paid, if any, relating to plant and equipment is treated as part of cost thereof.

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

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

Tangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-progress”.

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

9. 

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 the lease rentals and depreciation provided in the books of account.

Lease rentals in respect of assets acquired under leases are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b) 

Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:

Finance leases:

i) 

Assets acquired under leases where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as 
finance 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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

ii)  Assets given under leases where the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to lessee, 
are classified as finance leases. Where under a contract, the Company has agreed to manufacture/construct an asset and 
convey, in substance, a right to the beneficiary to use the asset over a major part of its economic life, for a pre-determined 
consideration, such arrangement is also accounted as finance lease. 

iii)  Assets given under a finance 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. 

iv) 

Initial direct costs relating to assets given on finance leases are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Operating leases:

i) 

Assets acquired on leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are 
classified as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis.

method 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 thereafter, 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.

d)  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.

ii) 

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

11.  Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible  assets  are  stated  at  original  cost  net  of  tax/duty  credits  availed,  if  any,  less  accumulated  amortization  and  cumulative 
impairment. Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset 
will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised as follows:

a) 

b) 

c) 

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

Technical know-how: Over a period of three to seven years.

Trade-marks: over a period of five years.

d)  Development costs for new products: Over a period of five years

e)  Customer contracts and relationship: Over a period of ten years 

f) 

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 intangible assets under development. The 
revenue towards collection of toll/other income during the period of construction is reduced from the cost of intangible asset 
under development. Toll collection rights are amortised over the period of rights given under the concession agreement.

Administrative  and  other  general  overhead  expenses  that  are  specifically  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 assets’ revised carrying amount over its remaining useful 
life.

Intangible  assets  not  ready  for  the  intended  use  on  the  date  of  the  Balance  Sheet  are  disclosed  as  “intangible  assets  under 
development”. 

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  financial  statements  prior  to  the 
acquisition after making necessary adjustments for material events between the date of such financial 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 first 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 “intangible 
assets  under  development”  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 significant 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.

12.  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 and

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 identified, independent cash flows), 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 flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its 
disposal at the end of its useful life.)

13.  Investments

Trade investments comprise investments in entities in which the Company has strategic business interest. 

Investments, which are readily realizable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition, are 
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. 

Long  term  investments  (other  than  associates)  including  trade  investments  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 
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 4 (b) above. 

14.  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.

c) 

Finished goods and stock in trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net realisable 
value. Cost includes related overheads and excise duty paid/ payable on such goods.

d) 

Property development land at lower of cost or net realisable value.

e)  Completed property is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value.

15.  Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and other bank balances 
which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being not free from more than insignificant risk of change 
in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

16.  Government grant of capital nature

Grants received/receivable from NHAI in the nature of “promoter contribution” are credited to “capital reserve”.

17.  Securities premium account

a) 

Securities premium includes:

i) 

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

ii) 

The discount allowed, if any, in respect of shares allotted pursuant to Stock Options Scheme.

b) 

The following expenses are written off against securities premium account:

i) 

ii) 

Expenses incurred on issue of shares

Expenses (net of tax effect) incurred on issue of debentures/bonds

iii)  Premium (net of tax effect) on redemption of debentures/bonds

18.  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, commitment charges, amortization of ancillary costs, amortization of discounts / premium related 
to borrowings, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign currency 
borrowings, to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventorised 
as part of cost of such asset till such time 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.

19.  Employee stock ownership schemes

In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s Stock Options Scheme, 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.

20.  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 fixed assets specifically financed by the borrowings contracted upto March 31, 2004 to which the 
exchange differences relate.

adjusted in the cost of fixed assets specifically financed 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.

d) 

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.

e) 

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.

ii) 

Revenues and expenses at yearly average exchange rates prevailing during the year.

Exchange differences arising on translation of non- integral foreign operations are accumulated in the foreign currency 
translation reserve until the disposal of such operations.

f) 

Forward contracts, other than those entered into to hedge foreign currency risk on unexecuted firm 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 firm 
commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the financial 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 Statement of Profit and Loss 
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. The amount 
recognised in the “hedging reserve” is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the underlying

hedged item affects the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of ineffective hedges are recognized in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which such gains or losses are incurred. 

h) 

The premium paid/received on a foreign currency forward contract is accounted as expense/income over the life of the contract.

21.  Segment accounting

Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with/allocable to the segment including inter segment 
revenue.

Expenses  that  are  directly  identifiable  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.” 

iii) 

Income  which  relates  to  the  Company  as  a  whole  and  not  allocable  to  segments  is  included  in  “unallocable  corporate

between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis. 

22.  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 income accounted in financial statements and the taxable income 
for the year, and quantified 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 sufficient 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 sufficient 
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

b) 

Foreign companies:

the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event

a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation and 

the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

Reimbursement expected in respect of expenditure required to settle a provision is recognised only when it is virtually certain that the 
reimbursement will be received.

Contingent liability is disclosed in case of

a) 

a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

24.  Commitments

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure. 

Commitments are classified and disclosed as follows:

a) 

Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for 

b)  Uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid 

c) 

Funding related commitments to associate and joint venture companies and

d)  Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management. 

Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details.

25.  Operating cycle for current and non-current classification

Operating cycle for the business activities of the company covers the duration of the specific project/contract/product line/service 
including the defect liability period, wherever applicable and extends up to the realization of receivables (including retention monies) 
within the agreed credit period normally applicable to the respective lines of business.

26.  Deferred payment liabilities

The obligation towards additional concession fee payable to NHAI is recognized as deferred payment liability when the Company, in 
its capacity of Concessionaire, becomes entitled to exercise the right and collect toll in accordance with the terms of the concession 
agreement on Commercial Operations Date. 

27.  Cash Flow Statement

Cash  Flow  Statement  is  prepared  segregating  the  cash  flows  from  operating,  investing  and  financing  activities.  Cash  flow  from 
operating activities is reported using indirect method. Under the indirect method, the net profit is adjusted for the effects of:

i) 

ii) 

transactions of a non-cash nature 

any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and 

iii) 

items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.
